Signiz narrowed his eyes, his blond hair waving due to the strong wind What he saas an army with armors dyed in black In thethe night, it would assis
Several kilos whose coat of arold and silver-headed snakes entwined on top of a sable backgroundIt was such a rare design, and the snakes' red eyes were as if glaring at the surroundings
(Huess ? All of the that Baron Mikoshi+ba had gathered frouess that he still have extra money to spend I think it is foolish for us to underestimate Baron Mikoshi+ba… They said that ill defeat him in one fell swoop, but…)
The nu which had the ten northern nobles assembled,numbered around 2000
The coathered on the city hen they received news that the enemy force had arrived They wanted to look at Mikoshi+ba's army with their eyes
”How is it, Signiz ?”
Froniz who kept staring at the enemy camp
”This battle… Itthat we can't understand how to handle it…”
Signiz murmured those words in response to his friend's question without looking back and kept starring at the enemy
It was proof that he hi he should not have aired
After all, in ter' side had twice more Furthermore, the Earl's soldiers were based in Epiroz city that was known as a fortified city
They still could also hire the city residents or uilds
Speaking about pros and cons, with the current situation the Earl's advantage seems solid
That hy, if the surroundings heard him spoke so pessimistically, they would think of him as someone like a coward or moron
However, Signiz spoke his worries daringly…
It was like an experienced warrior s the scent of war His intuition that had been nurtured throughout …
The moment he saw the eneerous was approaching
”Fuuh… Well, if you said that then I guess you're right…”
”You really never change huh ?”
Signiz s steadfast attitude
Aniz and Roberto boasted overwhel power and the most battle history And it was decided that both of them would lead the frontline
The frontline coe to cut the enemy's line
Their group was the one who decides the success of their arroups would be the one who finished the war, It can be said their mission was to directly control the flow of the battlefield
Originally, forvery honorable Since that nize the ability of the uard, but at the saerous position
However, despite holding such important responsibilities, Roberto reniz's words He has neither affirmed nor denied them Or rather, his attitude could be said as indifferent
”Well, even with you saying that it won't change our work anyway I just want to kill the enemy in front of my eyes… Afterwards, the old man and those buffoons that need to think…>
Saying that, Roberto directed his sarcastic gaze towards the surroundings His cold eyes virtually represented the words he wanted to convey
”Oh, is that Baron Mikoshi+ba arerated”
”But looking at that equipment, it seems Wortenia Peninsula is a wealthy land beyond our initial thoughts…”
”Haven't you heard it from the Earl ? I heard that they had recruited slaves as soldiers…”
”Although their numbers are splendid, in the end, quality is what matters He seems to be quite a successful man for an upstart, but I wonder how useful those soldiers would be for him…”
”According to the stories I heard from the Earl, all of the three hundred soldiers he choose to bring as reinforceic arts…”
”Truthfully, it must be some kind of bluff… He must have hired some talented people and made it look like his entire army had the same ability”
”Well, I also think that but…”
From various places, words of ridicule towards Mikoshi+ba Ryouma could be heard
Those groups were standing slightly away froniz They were people who one day would inherit the ten nobles' territory Although Signiz and those people were looking at the sa, their impression was so different like it was heaven and earth
There were some people who advocated a somewhat cautious theory, but it seereement at the others' opinion
Well, in a sense their behavior was somented information when it comes to Baron Mikoshi+ba Ryouma and his territory
”You don't have to bother yourself with them What we need to do is to perform our duty”
Roberto erased the sarcastic sniz's eyes
Signiz diverted his eyes after seeing Roberto's sharp gaze
To Signiz, this as just to help so he actually didn't want to do, just like Roberto, but Signiz felt they should still do their best to win
However, Roberto seemed to have a different sentiment
”But still, what do you think about the outco was a military man too… If I told him about some plan, I'm sure he would still listen !”
As a commander, he had to do his best to preserve the soldiers' life That thought was the reason Signiz did his best
If they could devise soe could be kept to a minimum
In extreht have to hole up inside Epiroz city for a while to gather infor the enemies
Although Roberto understood Signiz thoughts, he still disagreed
”No matter e say, no one would hear our opinion They will only regard us as someone who doesn't know our place, or someone ants to snatch away the inheritance by currying some favor with the Earl Besides, I heard rumors that if I won this war, I would be killed”
Originally they were still alive because their faht both of them had no interests with the inheritance, therefore both of them could become the commander of their territory's arht they both were a convenient substitute for the actual heir that was lacking in courage Conversely speaking, if their behavior was even a little bit suspicious, the lives of these two people would be doomed in an instant
The strong men on the battlefield were not necessarily secure men in daily life
”Signiz, you're thinking tooto that bad habit of yours You should think about your own self for a bit We just have to kill the enemies in front of us And if there is a trap, we could just break it by force”
”But still…”
”Like I said, think about yourself a bit more…”
Saying that Roberto slightly taunts Signiz
