Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill

We were gathering our troops and preparing to join the clan's army.

As expected, the lack of funds has affected the number of troops that can be mobilized.

We need to leave some troops behind to guard against Sights attacks, so it looks like there will be a lot less troops available.

Well, the clan will be short of soldiers, and I think they are excellent people who can think of ideas to attack, not soldiers.I don't suppose you're expecting that much from the number of Canale soldiers, who are not particularly populous.

We seem to outnumber Alcantes in numbers, but Basamark himself will never be weak.

It may be a winnable battle, but it may not be an easy one.Our work makes it easier to win, and our clan will appreciate it.

"Master Ars, we're ready to go."

Ritz reported it.

"Okay, let's fight now....."

When I tried to give the order, someone came in a hurry.

Ben is the messenger of Shadow.Basically, Ben didn't change his expression very much, but he had a slightly impatient expression.

Seeing his expression, I feel a bad feeling.

I don't think you've brought me a very good story.

"What happened?"

When I asked, Ben calmed his breath a little, became as expressionless as usual, and reported in a faint tone.

"The state of Sitz is gathering troops.The gathering place is Pull Lade County, next to Canale County.We do not have a clear objective at this time, but we expect it to be an army that will invade Canale with a high probability. "

"Hmm... what?"

I was deeply surprised and said so.

I knew the Sits might come to Kanale, but I didn't expect them at this time.

Moreover, they are assembling troops.

I don't know how many I've collected, but it's possible that I'm serious about taking down Canale.

"What is the number of soldiers?"

"Eighty thousand."

"Ha, 80,000..."

Too many.

It is not a number that can be competed with by just using canale.

The opponent may be going to drop the canale and then the entire Michian.

"Anyway, the launch is suspended for now.Quickly send the letter to your clan.After that, we'll start an emergency military conference. "

"Yes, sir."

How can we handle this earlier?I was thinking about it, but I decided to turn around and help protect the territory.

Anyway, I returned to my room and hurried to write a letter to my clan.

I wrote down the situation and my request to send reinforcements if possible.

Send it to the minister.

Then they gathered Ritz, Mireille and Rosell to hold an emergency military conference.

Hey, I'm in a lot of trouble.

Mireille said that with a feeling of relaxation and other human resources.

As always, he lacks a sense of urgency.Looks like you're enjoying a thrill somewhere.

"Well, it's not like you're saying that casually.It's a big pinch! "

Rossell said the most serious opinion, bluishing his face.

It is normal to panic like Rosell.

However, I don't think Mireille's attitude is bad either, because it is true that she sometimes feels comfortable with this slender attitude.

"If Shadow's report is correct, it's definitely not the number we can handle alone.We still need to wait for reinforcements. "

Ritz said so in a relatively calm manner.

It was obvious.It is impossible to deal with 80,000 troops alone.

"The question is how much reinforcements we can get..."

Mireille murmured.

"Aren't you going to give me quite a few?Canale is not so important, but geographically close to Sempler, the clan's current home.It's obvious that being dropped is a threat. "

Mireille immediately objected to Ritz's opinion.

"That's a sweet idea. The Sitz have sent out 80,000 troops to Kanale because they are almost certain they will benefit from the invasion.If you think about it, it is likely that you are invading with some kind of hand. "

"What kind of hand...?"

"Perhaps the Sights have teamed up with Bassamark.I don't know what kind of deal was made, but perhaps Basamark will set something up as well, as if it responds to the sights.Perhaps the clan will not be able to send large numbers of reinforcements. "

Mireille's story was strangely persuasive.

It is certainly a little unnatural for the Sits to move now.

If you have a deal with Bassamark and you want to defeat the clan together, then the Tsuji will fit.

Well, it's not a proven story.It is unlikely that the Sights have attacked simply to capture the Michians.

If the clan replies that Bassamark has moved out and cannot send reinforcements to deal with it, Mireille's expectations will certainly be met.

"I don't think Master's predictions are correct.Basamark said he was very knowledgeable, and I was wondering if he could get along like this. "

Rossell agreed with Mireille.

"I don't know what's going to happen, but I think we should move here in the worst case scenario.If reinforcements don't come, we may be the only ones protecting Canale. "

"If that's the case... how do you protect it?"

The three of them kept silent on my question.

Even with these three tactics, it seems impossible to think of an easy way to defeat 80,000 troops.

"Well, that's impossible. Not only are there fewer troops in Canale, but the city's defenses are poor.There are not many powerful magic weapons on the walls.If they're serious about dropping it, it's been a year.By then, it would be a good way for your clan to defeat Basamark and wait for reinforcements to come. "

Fighting for time....

I'll leave it up to you... is that all you got?

I have another hand.

"What is it?"

"Surrender to the Sits soon.The enemy will surrender first, so if you do, your life may be saved.The power of the boy would be desirable for the Governor of Sitz, so if he succeeds, he will be able to come out of the world.The Sights will invade Sempler to keep poking behind their clan, so if they can help in the fight, they will take it back.The territory of Canary County may continue to reign. "

It was a betrayal proposal.

Sure enough, we may be able to protect our lives and those of our ministers.

The risk doesn't seem to be that high.

I have always considered the survival of the Lavent family first, so I might have to put it in one of the options, but I didn't feel like it.

For one reason, I personally liked the personality of my clan.

Big vessel, no lies.

They also behave well as rewards.

He likes me the most.

I don't know how much the Viceroy of Sitz would appreciate it.

Apart from the clan, I have a promise with Le Maire.

Looks like he's sworn allegiance to his clan.

Flipping the flag against the clan in the territory that succeeded Le Maire feels like an act that is too heartless.

I came to a conclusion.

"Millet, I don't want to surrender as much as I can."

"Boy, do you think this could be a betrayal?This time, we're talking about when reinforcements didn't come or when they were too few.Master is disqualified from sending reinforcements at the request of his minister.If the opponent attacked in such an incredible number that no reinforcements came, surrender would be considered betrayal by the master because he surrendered, and his family name would not be damaged. "

When I was told that, my mind moved a little bit again, but I didn't change the conclusion I made once.

Ritz and Rossell had a certain understanding of surrender.

It's not a good idea to let it go without resistance, but it seems like we'll have to stop surrendering at last.

I don't want to fight until I'm stoned to death... but in the end, surrendering may be the best thing to do to protect my family, my family, my bride Lycia, my people, and myself.

"Well, this is only if no reinforcements come at all.Wait for the clan to respond.Then we'll send troops to the state border.Can you do it right away? "

"Originally scheduled to fight, the soldiers can move quickly.Let's hurry up and form a team. "

"I left the instruction to the soldiers to Ritz. I begged you."

"I understand."

That's what Ritz said and went to give orders to the soldiers.
