176 Episode 17 Map after the Great Strategy*3 (1/2)

In accordance with the decision of the military council, the Kingdom of Cerda began to prepare for the interception of the Lemurian Imperial Army.

Quick horses were driven across the country, and military nobles from all over the land began to gather with their troops.

The first place where the army gathered was Azdavia, the front line.

Here, about 500 soldiers consisting of warbeasts gathered.

While these 500 soldiers are holding off the invasion of the Lemurian Empire's forces, the defenders of Cerda, the capital city, the defenders of Teriportania, and the defenders of Teripol, the city of Teripol, will be formed.

...... But can't we gather the troops at the same time?

Hilderic II muttered in a low voice.

He grabbed a piece of meat with his hand and brought it to his mouth.

In the Kingdom of Cerda, there is no culture of using forks and knives, and eating is basically done by hand.

It can't be helped. It takes time to mobilize the army. The lower priorities will inevitably come later.

It was Sonia who replied as she put the vegetables in her mouth.

As the king and his fiancée, Carmine had arranged the dinner so that they could get to know each other better and interact.

However, ...... the effect is not so apparent.

...... What are you getting upset about?　There is no need to be so angry. Your father and I stopped you because we were worried about you.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

In fact, Sonia belonged to the frontline Azdavian defenders to fight against the Lemurian Empire's army, and tried to fight, but ...... it was stopped by Hilderick II and Carmine.

Hilderick II stopped this out of genuine concern, as he said.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

I'm not in a foul mood. I'm just stating the facts.

Sonia replied, still grumpy.

It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything that might help you.

If you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll want to make sure that you're getting the most out of your business.

If we can defend Azdavia first, we can stop the invasion from the land side.

The next thing to watch out for is the invasion from the sea, which can be found at ....... In other words, there will be a Cerda defensive force to prevent a surprise attack on the capital, a Teriportanian defensive force to protect the various ports in the Teriportanian region, and a Teriport defensive force to protect the city of Teriport.

For your information, the planned troops and the generals who will command them are as follows: ......

The first is the Azdavian defensive force of 500,000, commanded by Iason.

First, the Azdavian garrison 500,000, commanded by Iason. 700,000 in the Teriportanian garrison, commanded by Iason's men.

Guard of Chelda 60000, commanded by Carmine's man.

Guard of Teripol 70000, commanded by Carmine.

The total number of troops is 250,000, and the commander is Carmine.

The commander is Carmine.

Carmine is nominally the commander-in-chief, but Iason is a member of Hoamel's faction. ...... In reality, there are two commanders-in-chief, Carmine and Iason.

”Mmm ...... well, I'm sorry.

No,......, I was too strong, I'm sorry.

Sonia bowed to Hilderick II.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

Hilderick II looked at Sonia with an indescribable expression.

Hilderick II's impression of Sonia has changed drastically in the last ten years.

About ten years ago, she was just a noisy little girl, but ...... she has grown up to be beautiful, and Sonia has stolen her heart, if only a little.

This is partly due to the fact that Kassandra, the favorite princess of King Hilderick II, is declining with age.

The werewolves, a high-ranking species of the warbeast race, have a long lifespan - about one hundred and fifty years - though not as long as the elves.

Hilderick II himself is still young, but his human counterpart, Kassandra, has aged.

Hilderick II is no longer as attracted to Kassandra as he used to be, and he has begun to think that he would prefer a werewolf with the same lifespan to be his lifelong companion.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

His dislike for her is still the same,......, and Hilderick II has had very mixed feelings about her.

However,......, was it right to disperse the troops like this? I'm not sure that General Carmine's strategy would have been better.

Hilderick II said, half to please Sonia and half to be honest.

Hilderick II said, half to please Sonia, half to be honest, and then looked at Sonia's face.

Sonia's eyebrows shot up for a moment, but she answered in a calm ...... voice.

...... This is unavoidable, considering that we are defending Teriportania. The enemy can land from anywhere. As long as they have control of the sea, we have no choice but to take a back seat. It is true that such a dispersal of troops is a fool's errand, but that doesn't mean that abandoning the innocent is the better choice.

Sonia's reaction came as a surprise to King Hilderic II.

Taking into account the fact that Sonia is Carmine's daughter, and that the Terriportanians are the base of support for Hoamel and have a large number of Humans, she would surely condemn Iason's plan and say that Carmine's plan would have been better. ...... Hilderick II had expected.

His Majesty's desire not to abandon the innocent is very admirable in a ruler.

”I see.

This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

But that was not the end of Sonia's words.

So you should be confident in your own thoughts. You have made a decision, and your vassals will feel uneasy if you feel free to say anything that might lead them to doubt that decision. I sympathize with your feelings, but you should keep them to yourself.
