「We’ll begin our 」

Adonis looks around after declaring so

「I think that everyone knows……the Edom The Empire’s military force is over 200,000」

Adonis said

「With this scale, we can consider this as the 5th Edom War」

Eugene said happily

「Well, this tienda……is our future policy Do we support the Edom, or neutral? I think that we should be neutral」

Branch nodded to Adonis’ words

「Eehh, I’nificantly, the Kingdo led the Kingdom to victory in the 4th Great War I don’t think he will lose to Westoria」

Followed by Branch, Eugene also spoke

「I wonder On the other hand, the Kingdoth to overwhelm the Empire Gallia would be the best bet You don’t necessarily have to pick up the chestnut remains in the fire」

The three people declared themselves neutral, and Claris’ policy is settled as neutral

「Neutral……ma, it’s reasonable」

Roa nodded to Haruto after hearing the result of the

「But everyone is too optidom, then it’s the turn of the City-State Union Is this ok? 」

Haruto opened his mouth to question

「The Eed wars four tile one Moreover, the current king of the Kingdom is famous for his military exploits Even if they are to lose, it’s impossible for the Imperial City to fall The Ih walls In the second war, the Kingdom could not defeat the Empire because of its walls and were forced to withdraw Even though the Gerht hard」

Roa explains the strength of the Kingdom to Haruto

「Is that so? But I feel uneasy……」

Anxiety is swirling in Haruto’s chest

＿＿＿＿＿＿

Three weeks have passed since the Imperial Army has left the Imperial Capital Rosyth

「Oh, there’s the castle of Margrave Zaltran, it’s the

Zaltran Castle! It’s quite a solid castle」

A slender man, Lieutenant Avere said while on a horse

「That’s true But can we defeat that with us alone? What do we do? 」

Claire said to Avere

The I while divided into two One is led by Westoria, with the infantry at the center led by Marx Another is led by Claire, a fast- troop with the cavalry as the center led by Avere The task of the advance team is to capture the Zaltran Castle, suppress the land around the port and secure the supply lines

「Please be assured Because there’s a new type of siege weapon over here」

Avere replied with a smile

「Fumu, I heard that the number of enemies is over 200,000……is that the advance team」

Margrave Zaltran observed the Ilasses from the top of the castle walls

「Looks like it The number is……10,000 cavalry and about 30,000 infantry? 」

The one who said that to Margrave Zaltran is an old knight who has served hi time

「Considering that the cavalry is not good for siege battles, it’s actually only 30,000 With that degree, this castle won’t fall」

Zaltran snorted Zaltran’s troops in the castle is only 10,000 But everyone is elites who have fought many times with the Empire Meanwhile, the Imperial Army has 30,000 drafted from farmers The difference in proficiency is evident

「You have to be careful of their Secret Fire」

The Secret Fire is a weaponmethod is only known to a few in the Eht as ait formethod at all

「Well Even if they shoot an arrow of fire, it’ll still misfire It’s a considerable threat but there won’t be a problem if you deal with it calmly」

Zaltran calmly said

After a short tian to move hastily

「Ah! They started to move That is……is that a catapult? 」

「It seems like that……but it’s quite far away I think that it won’t reach with that much distance……」

Catapult? There’s a considerable distance from Zaltran Castle and thee of the usual catapult
