Vol 5 Chapter 3 (2/2)
Although he himself felt the same as the other, he see first
Doubt and suspicion clearly floating in his eyes
”My bad, Bolts Now then, let's us continue the story”
After confirained their calain
”Letthe story King Julianus told in with”
Everyone surrounding the roundtable nodded deeply in silence without saying anything
It was also the same for Sara and Laura who had heard about it first from Ryouma before anyone else
”That hy, even after I heard this story fro Julianus, I didn't tell anyone To be honest, I doubted that old ot back, and had the tiht be some truth in this story At least on the Orto the war are not just a few”
”What does that meant?”
”First, Joshua Belharres”
Itfor hiainst the Ortomea Empire for a year
But thinking about it cal was unnatural
He used the basic strategy of disturbing the enemy's supplies transport However, Ortoh
Why didn't they put any counterainst Joshua tactics
Yet under such circued to attain a lot of success
Of course, it didn't ed to slon the Ortomean invasion
Ryouma himself thinks that Joshua’s ability was excellent
However, when he
when he thought about it h to attain such success
”In other words, there was an information provider on the Ortomea side?”
”Making friends froard, Genou and Ryuusai would've been more familiar with it, no?”
Towards Lione's words, Ryouaze to Genou and co
”I see That o, no one in Zalda should've possessed such ability, though?”
Although they nodded their head, Genou and his clan members still could not understand fully
If the Zalda Kingdoence network, they wouldn't have ended up being cornered in the first place
Being unable to grasp the Edom didn't have such resources and even if they did, it would've been a very sanization
”Right, that hy I thought everything was because of Joshua’s skills”
Skill was so very important in a war, but that was about it
To win a war, one needs to build a precise and huge information network, and one needs a lot of excellent people working as assistant staff
And above all else, it was very ih loyalty and a sense of duty
Such things should not be available in the Zalda Kingdoth
The only people who had such quality ht be only the two people, General Belharres and Joshua who succeeded hi at the difference in power between two countries
”However, that thought seemed to be a mistake”
When the as over, Ryouma had asked Joshua about it directly, but he said the spy he had only told hieneral various information and didn't indicate that there was a betrayer within the Ortomea Empire
Of course, Ryouranted either, after all he should not be able to create an excellent spy network under such dire situations
If that was the case then
”Soh command leaked the information intentionally?”
”If you think about it more calmly, the way the Ortomea’s army moved certainly was unnatural”
Towards Lione's words, Ryouma nodded his head
Co the time they killed General Belharres, the Empire movement afterwards lacked precision
”At the beginning, I thought there is so on the Empire side After all, internal conflicts for a leadershi+p is very possible”
Sardina Eizenheit is the eldest daughter of the Emperor, and also Emperor Lionel’s favorite child
His confidence in Sardina's ability ht be even above the crown prince as her elder brother
Thus the likelihood that sos was very likely
Ryouma's words were only
words were only based on guesses, but because it had enough logic, people felt such scenario was possible after listening to it
”Wait athe Orto to do hat King Julianus had said ?”
Bolts butted in with a question when he heard the arranged story
And the question was soht to ask
”Well, Bolts’ doubt is natural Certainly, the current story is only possible if there is a conflict within the Ortomea Empire itself However, you will be convinced if you listen to me until the end”
”Is this regarding the aet?”
”Yes, I ordered Si use of this war, that is”
”A billion Such amount”
Ryou, but Lione who didn’t hear about it in advance felt surprised
It was close to 10 billions in term of japanese Yen
It was the amount of money normally someone wouldn't be able to attain in their lifetime
However, Ryou
”Well, it's not that surprising really After all, such an aoal”
As a ht now, the better
One billion baht was only enough for the maintenance and development of the Wortenia Peninsula However, he could not perform any expansion with that amount alone
”But still, is it really possible for you guys to be able to get that money ? Seriously ?”
Lione’s skeptical gaze was directed at the surroundings
It was good to have a goal, but it would be oal
And, thinking about it with common sense, it was quite difficult for the current Ryouma to earn that amount of money
However, Si for such question
”Yes, if everything had gone according to the plan, it was possible for us to get that amount of money”
”According to the plan?”
”Yes, Zalda and Ortomea It would be possible if we made use of the war between those two countries”
Lione tilted her head in confusion after listening to Lione's explanation
(Well, it was natural for her to not understandIn this world, it was not coency economic demands But if that is the case, then)
Ryouhts suggests the possibility that soe as him
”As expected I have no choice but to start to move on, huh”
Ryouma muttered those words with low voice while Simone explained the method she used in the conference room
