THE AUTHOR REINCARNATED?! [Vol 4] Chapter 4 – Military Exercise IV (2/2)
Nals answered my, Carlo’s words
“It’s natural for us to be successful till here The problems start from this point on”
“Does Marcus really not aim for the fort?”
“I’m not 100 sure but I’m probably not mistaken”
“The reason?”
“The General knows that we’ll use the cavalry independently Given that, it’s only natural for us to arrive at the fort first I think it’s rather hard to conquer a fort with 50 knights occupying it”
“Well, that’s right”
“What can we do to break this deadlock? That’s that General’s character The possibility of hi force is rather low I’m pretty sure he’ll want to attack us from behind”
“Why would he attack our back?”
“The General and Sir Lunos have great confidence in the Knights’ reatly underestimate the infantry’s and archers’ power Well, I’ll explain the rest later Let’s patiently wait for the reports to arrive here”
After a few minutes, one horseman of the reconnaissance unit returned
“Reporting! I discovered an enemy military unit in the forest on the south side, their numbers are approximately 200!”
“Is that so, can you tell us their exact location?”
Nals listened to the knight as he showed the ene on the desk
As I watched from the side I could tell that their position was rather far from here”
“As expected”
“Well then, shall I take the soldiers and meet them?”
Nals shook his head left and right as he heard my words
“The report from the north side has yet to arrive Before we have that report we can’t make a move”
Nals answered leisurely
“The ones scouting the north should return soon Shall we get ready?”
Hearing Nals’ words I also stood up
“Is it really fine to take everyone with us? If we leave this place unguarded and fall it’s our immediate defeat, isn’t it?”
“It’s alright If ene from the north side the reconnaissance unit would have return sooner The fact they haven’t returned after this long means that the rest stayed back in the camp to protect it”
Just as we had this exchange the two knights scouting the north side returned
“Reporting, No enehted on the north side till the enemy’s camp!”
“I see, as I thought Did you see the enemy’s camp?”
“Though it looks like so the eneet closer My apologies”
“Thank you I know you’re tired but could you deliver this letter to the knight leader inside the fort next?”
“Yes!”
The knight took off with the letter Nals prepared
“So, shall we begin?”
