Chapter 175: Imperial Intervention (3)
Currently, the Republican Army had 100,000 men and of them, 50,000 were elite soldiers while the other 50,000 men were those who had recently become Republicans It was obvious that if they divided the army into three when their troops were like this, the overall effectiveness would drop When his officers began to desperately oppose his idea, Siegfried spoke
“You are overlooking three things”
Once he had all their attention, he continued to speak
“First of all, there is a big difference in the quality of their recruits While we and the Idofried paused for a moment
“The enemy forcibly recruited the people from the capital and most of those people are barely arfried had said, the recruits currently conscripted by the Imperial Ariven theiven leather are of the recruits The Republican Ar and elder soldiers that had joined
“We are made up of coreed with the ideas of Republicanism and we prepared equipment in advance so that they can be fully armed This difference in the quality of soldiers cannot be taken lightly”
Siegfried’s officers were convinced and nodded in agreement He continued to speak
“Secondly, you do not understand what a strategy of war is”
At his censure, their faces reddened and they looked down If anyone else had said it, they would have disagreed, but it was Siegfried, soist of the Republic He had even recently gained a new nickname once it was revealed that he was a Master - the Monster Commander Even if it was a sifried spoke to his officers in the same tone of voice a teacher would use to teach his students
“In a strategy of war, it is important to think beyond the enemy’s action and to outwit them”
He pointed at the iven us two paths: either we ht once they encircle our stronghold Those are the two options given to use by the eneood results on a chessboard prepared by the ene the enemy wouldn’t expect”
Most of the officers nodded as they understood They had definitely been trying to figure out what to do based on the choices offered by the enemy when there was no need to do that
“And finally, the third thing you’re overlooking, who do you think I am?”
His unexpected remark confused them At that moment, some of his officers were quick on the uptake as they shouted, ‘Ah!’ Siegfried turned to look at theain, his officers replied
“You are Cofried, sir”
“The War God of the Republic, sir”
“A symbol of the undefeated and a hero of the Republic, sir”
Siegfried gave a bland s ‘undefeated’
“Thanks to sodoht I ahtened his back as deterlowed in his eyes
“Believe in me and follow me I pro you’ve overlooked”
It could be said that he was being overly self-confident, but fried, but it didn’t sound aard at all
“Yes, Co to hi an operational plan and troop co we discuss from here on out is top secret Those who violate it will be dealt with according to fried and his officers began co Imperial Army and the Republican Army swiftly moved out that day
“The ene received a report on the Republican Ar for a ht They’ve divided the arht, and 30,000 for the left, and all of them seem to be on the move, sir”
“……”
Duke Sebastian couldn’t understand He understood WHAT the , but he couldn’t understand WHY the ene their army into three because their enemy divided the army into three? What a stupid ht on different battlefields, then it was obvious that the side with e Whether you look at it qualitatively or quantitatively, the Imperial Army overwhelmed the Republican Army, so it seemed extremely foolish

“Yes, sir”
“And tell Marquis Hailey Maroon and Marquis Matthias Burkel that the ene oddly so rather than a quick victory, it’d be better to respond carefully”
“Yes, sir”
After giving instructions to the hed andas we decide to do things carefully and not deviate from standard procedure… we shouldn’t be defeated too badly”
In the end, what Duke Sebastian decided to do was to alert each arilant Truthfully, this was all that he could do without knohat Siegfried planned to do Just the fact that he didn’t think Siegfried was acting foolishly was evidence that Duke Sebastian hadn’t lived his long life in vain But he hadthe sa to be the foremost part of their army
Both Marquis Maroon and Marquis Burkel expressed displeasure when they were given Duke Sebastian’s command to slon and carefully observe the situation before responding For the two of the that had to be won, but the achievement won froht about it logically, they also knew that as important as Masters were to the Empire, they couldn't overextend the out Even still, it was very clear to the this bet would ruin the other’s face and reputation, butNaturally, the two of the and sped up their advance instead
