Episode 120

Upon arriving at the palace of Count Pougeh, Lian held his brother’s hand.
Seeing that, a smile appeared on the face of Count Fougeh.
“It looks great. I really hope you care for your brother. Count Leon.”
They seem like very good brothers.
It’s not bad for him, but if the relationship between the two isn’t bad, the relationship between the two counts will improve.
Especially in the case like now, I plan to take him as my son-in-law.
However, Lian’s mind was different.
‘This kid won’t hit me in the back of the head when he grows up, right?’
feed my brother
So, Yeongji, who is fighting against the Count Fougehe right now, is the Count Marman.
It is the entrance to the Duchy of Brittany.
It is a very important position.
“I couldn’t pay attention because I was pushed behind by the annoyances of my dead brothers, but I’ll try to take care of them from now on.”
The reason I say this is simple.
My siblings are still young. It was a groundwork to prevent those younger siblings from having a crush on him.
“okay.”
“So, where is the child who will be my brother’s spouse?”
“Ahh. He comes over there just in time.”
A child was approaching, led by the Countess’s hand.
He looks just like his brother’s age.
“Crush.”
“yes… older brother.”
“Because she will be your wife. You have to be friendly!”
“Nong… … .”
I don’t know if you know what’s going on.
I’ll have to bite into the candy or mouth later.
“then. Take good care of my brother. countess.”
Lian slipped the load onto the Countess.
“I will take care of you like my own child.”
“Thank you.”
You won’t have to take care of it for long.
The moment he eats the Marman count family, this child will become independent. Keneina will do a convergence clean.
Eventually, Keneina plans to raise it again.
“You should listen carefully to the kind Countess here.”
“tongue… older brother. Where are you going… … .”
“I’ll see you work and come back soon. Can you be well?”
“yes… oops.”
Lian stroked his brother’s hair and then nodded to Count Pougeh.
Seeing this, Count Fougeh’s stomach simmered.
‘just. Let’s have refreshments and pass the time!’
It seems that the young count, who looks like a fool, has no intention of staying still.
A battlefield that has already become a battle of a thousand units.
Even the few knights he brings will have no effect on the war.
“I will take you to my office. Count Leon.”
“yes. Because war is more important now.”
Lian smiled and moved first.
‘please. Please leave the operation as it is.’
It is a strategy that I created after thinking about it for days and days with my military commander.
Fortunately, the King of Gong supported them with money, so they were able to hire quite a few mercenaries.
The opponent also mobilized many troops, as if they had received financial support from King Ingleson.
Including the conscripts, the two sides are no longer the scale of a single count’s fight.
Awesome!
Arriving at the office before I knew it, Lian glanced around.
“You must have prepared pretty hard.”
Maps and various horses were placed on them.
At a rough glance, it seems that Count Marman mobilized about 1.5 times as many troops.
Still, Count Pougeh was in a position to defend, so the situation was not so unfavorable.
“I think it would be a worthwhile war if there were no other forces involved. So please take good care of me. Count Leon.”
Count Fougeh doubted whether Lian would understand what he was saying.
to sum it up.
Since you are the son-in-law of the Sinsenrom Empire and the Ibel Kingdom, if you are here, the Ingleson Kingdom will not intervene.
The moment the Ingleson Kingdom intervenes, the Sinsenrom and Ibel kingdoms can also intervene in that justification.
For reference, the reason why the Ingleson Kingdom moved Count Marman was for the expansion of the war against the Thrang Empire.
Provoking the Serang Empire by attacking the Duchy of Brittany, which is no different from a vassal state.
‘It was exquisitely bitten.’
Ryan smiled and thought.
The funny thing is that it was the Thrang Empire that approved this Territory War.
After all, the Duchy of Norman is also part of the Serang Empire.
But what is also funny is that the Thrang Empire, which should now be left alone, naturally does not welcome the involvement of the Ybel Kingdom in this war.
“what. Because I am there, other countries will not intervene. My father-in-law is rather strong.”
At Lian’s words, Count Fougech was relieved a little.
Even though he is young, he seems to be able to understand what is being said.
“hmm… however… … .”
“Um? Are there any problems?”
“Place it there. I shouldn’t have done that… … .”
At Lian’s words, Count Fougeh felt cold sweat running down his back.
What the hell is this kid talking about knowing?
“This… Let’s say it. As a reserve to save the dangerous place between here and here fortress… … .”
I had to explain it once.
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to hear it.
“Eh, so. Why waste your troops?”
“huh? not a waste So that no fortress can be breached… … .”
It was a really precise calculation and the reserve was formed.
Opponents have a lot of troops, so you can’t deploy a garrison in response.
The battlefield was not only in this fortress, but also in other places.
“Don’t you know that offense is the best defense?”
“that is… words are good Our troops are outnumbered… It’s embarrassing, but quality… … .”
Count Marman had prepared for war first, so they took almost all the mercenaries that were useful.
Even so, he was lucky enough to be able to hire a mercenary of his own, albeit with a lesser reputation than them.
It was because the King of Gong supported me with more money than I thought.
Even so, it did not change that this side was a little behind in terms of skills.
“Are you going to finish just defending?”
“We just need to take our time. They are an invading army, so we have to pay attention to supplies.”
Not a bad judgement.
Supply in this era relies heavily on local procurement, but even if you don’t send troops into this land, local procurement becomes difficult.
It’s money that keeps the supply lines going.
In the end, the villages near the borders of Count Marman will be plundered.
by allies.
“no. I mean. You have to cut off the opponent’s supply line. Do you just leave these precious troops alone?”
“that… Even though. Thinking too risky… … .”
Ryan shook his head.
“under… Count Pougeh heard that he was a bear guarding the border and readily accepted the arranged marriage… If it’s like this, I’ll bite it. I will not! can not! my precious little brother… … !!”
Ryan made a completely pouting expression.
It’s something you can do because you’re a child.
‘this. crazy!!!’
Count Fougere made a frightened face.
What I feared happened.
A child who cannot communicate with the other person.
The problem is that the child is the most important height in this war.
“that is… Don’t do that. Count Leon. Listen carefully.”
“Listen to what. I have no intention of sending my precious younger brother to the family of a cowardly count as a son-in-law.”
At those words, Count Pougeh’s military commander couldn’t stand it and sprinkled life on Lian.
Excessive words and actions, even for a child.
however.
Ting!!
The bitter life lightly bounced off.
“there. Do you want to die?!”
The vice-captain growled as he blocked Lian’s way.
At that moment, the knights of Count Pougeh drew their swords.
Of course, Lian’s side also responded.
Srrr~!
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
Except for one person, Seina, all of them were great knights.
“Uh… … .”
The most surprising thing was that there were two middle-class students, one of whom was a young girl.
I thought it was just Lian’s plaything.
“what. Why is everyone like this?”
Ryan said smartly.
“this. Bishop’s sister. It’s kind of hard to see when you’re doing it alone.”
Meanwhile, Lian looked at Seina and smiled.
All others were armed with spirit armor.
“Iknow, right. Count.”
The cold girl with dark hair contrasting with her fair skin seemed a little embarrassed herself.
Ting~!
Lian threw a jewel from her bosom.
“I have a contract. lol.”
Are you laughing in this situation?
“You gave me such a gift. As expected, the Count has a big stomach.”
Seina didn’t refuse.
The price of an elemental contract stone is easily over 20,000 pennies.
Depending on the market price, situation, and location, there are times when it exceeds 80,000 pennies.
Things that are hard to find even if you have money.
“We, the Tangle Bridge, are forever the Count’s allies.”
At the same time as those words, Seina immediately signed a contract.
It is a shocking scene.
Contracts should be made under discreet and protected circumstances.
By the way, in this messy situation?
there is certainty
There are five warriors surrounding her, so why worry?
shrrr!!!
A light breeze passed through the office.
The attribute of the contract stone that Rian gave to Seina is wind.
“buy… Advanced!!”
At the same time as the contract, Seina exuded a tremendous force.
3rd awakening.
A state where you can receive the title of count anywhere.
In the first place, Seina is the only bishop blessed by the god of war.
The love of Tangle God is inevitable, so it will become stronger as time goes on.
“oh! Congratulations, sister. It jumps two steps at once.”
“It’s all thanks to the Count.”
Although she said that, Seina herself seemed surprised.
Lian smiled lightly, then changed his expression to a cold expression and said to Count Fougere.
“We are leaving. It’s a cowardly and disrespectful place. A knight who spews out death without his master’s permission. And that to this weak and young me… … .”
“that… That’s not it. Count Leon!! And this marriage was arranged by our lord, the King… … !!”
Ryan shook his head.
“By the way, I have no debt to His Highness the Gong. Marriage is an inherent right of the nobility, which cannot be interfered with, even by the highest rank.”
“that… … !!”
This is the king’s biggest mistake.
Lian’s loyalty to protect something has disappeared.
It lost its cause.
“Let’s go.”
Let Ryan try to turn around.
“please. please Count Leon! I will not ignore your advice. And unarmed!! Apologize right away.”
“crime… sorry. Your Excellency Count Leon!!”
Pougeh’s military commander who hurriedly got down on one knee.
“hmm. Then again, the words are slightly different. what. I understand the mind of the military commander. Ignoring one’s lord must have been unbearable.”
Then, gently wave your hands.
“I’m loyal, but please cultivate some patience~~”
Seeing that nasty look, the military commander gnashed his teeth and lowered his head.
“I will take your advice seriously. Your Excellency Count Leon!”
“what. It’s okay, get up. ruler. Shall we discuss the war now?”
Ryan had no intention of discussing it.
“Let’s see~”
Ryan climbed onto a large table placed in the center of the office.
And he randomly moved the troop placement on the map.
“ji… what are you doing now… Genga… … .”
It is a layout that was made after several days of hard work.
I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t.
“Don’t you want to win the war? Do you intend to just let go of the evil bastard who dares to invade our Duchy of Brittany?”
“We have both troops and skills… … .”
“I will go to the front. Take my loyal men with you.”
Count Fougere’s face turned pale.
What if Lian gets captured or dies in the war? What a terrible thing.
If you’re captured, it’s fortunate, but if you die… … ?!
This territory will become a proxy battleground for the great powers.
“Are my subordinates unreliable?”
They were very poor-looking articles.
The quality itself seems to be lacking.
In a way, that was natural.
None of these were knights.
Furthermore, the person closest to the upper class was the priest Seina, who believed in the god of war, not any other god.
“that… That’s not… … !”
With these alone, a battalion would simply be crushed.
There is one high-level fighter and two mid-level fighters.
Of course, even if it’s a senior or middle class, there are many variables in actual combat, so there are many cases where you die in vain.
“So are you going to just get beaten up like this?”
“article… nice Count Leon, do as you wish.”
In the end, Count Fougere accepted.
Even though Rian was young and at heart, the weight of his men was by no means light.
‘Rather than that, the military commander of Count Leon’s family… I can not see.’
Now that I think about it, that was even more creepy.
The military commander of Count Leon’s family was a competent swordsman in his own way in the Duchy of Brittany.
“then. Let’s go.”
“hmm?? What do you mean?”
“The command must be active to carry out flexible operations. Come on, quickly get the strategy board.”
“… … ??”
