Chapter 117: Siegfrieds Interventions (2) (2/2)

Viscount Sabian had deliberately explained his plans like this so that Milton would give hi with his report to Milton However, there were soerations The three days attack plan meant they would launch a full-scale frontal offensive… Truthfully, even with that, there would have been less than 10,000 casualties

Although Litinque Castle looked strong and sturdy, there were still a few hidden cards on their side as well Fro in all their effort and men into this After all, this wasn’t a war in their own country; they had only come as a reinforcee Litinque Castle head-on with sheer power

But, Viscount Sabian encouraged Milton to erated results What reason could he have for doing this? Could it be that he avering in his loyalty to Milton? No, that wasn’t it Viscount Sabian’s loyalty towards Milton was as strong as ever He did this because he thought Milton was going about this rong

‘My Lord is too conscious of Siegfried We can cal in too much effort into it’

Viscount Sabian believed that in his role as a tactician, sometimes, he had to confront his Lord for his own sake At least, that’s how he comforted himself

Truthfully, with his personality, Viscount Sabian didn’t like doing so like this With his personality, he believed that if he didn’t like so, it was best if Sabian pointed it out directly It wasn’t his personality to be evasive or to influence so else But he didn’t avoid it No, he couldn’t Viscount Sabian re to the First Prince Skyt’s army in the past

That war For Viscount Sabian, it was both his first actual war as well as the here they were defeated htforwardly spoken to the First Prince He had been convinced that he was right and he couldn’t just watch that dimwitted First Prince be reckless Viscount Sabian didn’t care whether the person he was speaking to was the next king and without hesitation, Viscount Sabian had spoken directly

But as the result? The First Prince didn’t accept his words and even excluded him completely from his staff In the end, the First Prince’s army had been annihilated Others didn’t know this, but that war had trauh Viscount Sabian had been completely excluded, the army that he had been in suffered a terrible defeat Because it was the first war that he had participated in, that war remained vividly imprinted in his memories Not to mention, the words of Marquis Trauss, his deceased teacher

[Tsk, wasn’t there a way to say the sahness, Prince Skyt, yet you didn’t stand down?]

Viscount Sabian didn't know this then, but during his teacher’s funeral, he thought over the words and realized that his teacher had been right He had been overconfident He thought all he had to do was say the correct thing Then, the person he was speaking to would auto Why? Because he was correct It had been arrogant of him

With that in mind, Viscount Sabian realized that he had so defeated that badly Froht process was too much But because Viscount Sabian was smart and talented, and as self-aware as he was of his skills, he was also a person who took responsibility for himself

Sometimes, a competent person will contradict hiht now He was afraid of being rejected by Milton if he talked directly about it So, he et the result he wanted It was soht the war a bit better, but it was soo In the first place, et the results he wanted meant that a sement

A very small…

A very sranted permission from Milton, Viscount Sabian first completely surrounded Litinque Castle Then, he explained his strategy to Milton and Marquis Bologna

“I plan to surround and kill our enemy”

When Viscount Sabian simply stated his purpose, Milton spoke to him

“I heard that Litinque Castle usually stocked up on a lot of supplies Would there bethem off?”

It was possible to starve the ene the castle However, in order for the plan to be effective, there were two conditions that had to be met

<ol class="lst-kix_xd35tqej5tcz-0 start" start="1"><li>Making sure the besieged castle didn’t have enough soldiers</li><li>Making sure no reinforcee </li></ol>

These two conditions were the basis of effectively killing the eneinally a castle that was used to store and distribute supplies to the other fortresses It was unlikely that Litinque Castle’s food situation would worsen after only half a month

“Just as you feared, My Lord, the eneh to last half a month They could most likely last half a year without any problee, is it?”

Viscount Sabian sna’s question

“Food is i more important to humans”

“More important to huna, Milton had a guess

“Water You plan to touch the drinking water?”

“Yes, My Lord, that’s exactly it Humans can’t last three days without water”

Milton nodded at Viscount Sabian’s words If they could cut off the ene water source, it would definitely be the best solution But the question was, how?

“So we should sneak into the castle and poison their well In order to carry out the operation, we’ll have to gather a suicide corp”

Marquis Bologna see his two cents in But…

“Marquis Bologna, according to ht wells inside Litinque Castle”

“Hmm… that’s a lot”

“It is unreasonable to invade the castle and conta used If that was possible, then we ates”

Come to think of it, that was correct

“In that case, how do you cut off the ene water source?”

“It’s si the well itself, we touch the well’s water source - the underground water strearound water streaht about it, it was a great idea If everything ell, then by cutting off the underground water source, they could co water However, there was still a probleround water streae castle? And even if we found it, wouldn’t it require a lot of construction to cut off the water?”

“Did you forget, My Lord? Our military has an expert in water exploration and construction”

“An expert?”

Milton was confused No matter how le person If he had to pick a person, he’d say his fiancee Sophia, but he didn’t bring her to the battlefield

“Who are you talking about?”

Viscount Sabian subtly glared at hiotten, My Lord? It’s Miss Bianca, My Lord”

“…Ah Indeed, you’re right”

Now he reician was a secret With Marquis Bologna, Viscount Sabian hadn’t been able to say that it was possible to explore the underground water streah Bianca In the past, when Sophia had been concerned about ground subsidence on the Estate because of the underground water streams, Bianca had been the one to solve the problem
