Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill

"I say! The Governor of Paradise, McFah Circassia, has crossed the state border and invaded! Thirty thousand soldiers are reported! It looks like he's currently lightly dropping Menfa in Lund County and marching to Lund Castle!

Alcantes Castle, during the debate.

The report jumped in during the military debate.

Basamark overhears the report and slightly changes that look, which he doesn't usually change.

Thomas Granzion of Bassamark's belly, General Leamas Ivas and others, sitting at a round table in the middle of the debate, Bassamark ministers all had a look of surprise when they heard the report.

"Is that true?

Ask the soldier Bassamark has reported.

"Yes... apparently McFah is marching here to the goal of Arcantes... somehow making Lord Basamark the enemy of His Majesty the Emperor and marching to discuss it..."

"I am the enemy of His Majesty the Emperor... or, well, not a mistake..."

As Bassamark shrugged, yet another soldier rushed in during the debate.

"We will report!! Clan has invaded Alphada County from Sempler! The number of soldiers is more than 50,000! We have already dropped our post without difficulty and marched to Clampress Castle in Alfada!

I hear that report. It quiets down during the debate.

Everyone on the spot realized that this was a hell of a thing.

"Looks like Clan and McFah have formed an alliance... what a troublesome situation"

Leamas shrugged, frowning.

"Not if you're saying it long. What's going on in the state of Saitz?

Thomas asked Bassamark.

"Contact from Saitz has been discontinued since the disturbance. We can no longer count on reinforcements."

"That's what I'm gonna do... At a time like this, you can't count on them."

Thomas sighed.

"But the state of Paradise and the alliance... it seems that you have asked the Emperor to help you... but I still thought it was difficult, but I didn't know it was possible... unexpected."

"There's only one thing that's turned out to be. Shh. More than that, I have to think about measures. The enemy's aim is definitely Belzd. If they drop us here, we'll even be at a disadvantage. You need to drop at least two counties to drop Belzd. Alphada County and Samuk County."

"The total number of soldiers near Belzd and Belzd is about 30,000. There will probably be 80,000 of them, because the enemy will be on his way with almost the whole army. I'd like to take maneuvers such as dropping a diminished defense, but not when Paradise is attacking me. Fewer in number than this, but Paradise is a strong force, and if you show any gaps, this could be the place to drop."

"The Alphada guys will surrender fast when they know what's going on, won't they? The idea is that it will go to those who are likely to be profitable there, so if you know that this one is going to be a little disadvantageous, you will go back to sleep quickly. Samuk has a thick loyalty to Bassamark. I don't think it's easy to go back to sleep, but I don't think the castle is old or robust after all."

Bassamark, Thomas and Leamas begin their analysis of the current situation.

Different opinions are expressed as to what to do about the current situation, which cannot be described as a very good situation, but there is no proposal that can be described as effective.

"After all, in a situation inferior to the number of soldiers, it seems like you have no other hands than to manage to defend Belzd"

That's how Leamas squeals.

"... Thomas. The Lord goes all the way to Belzd and joins the command. Disadvantaged, but let it hold in the hand of the Lord. If we buy time, we will soon be able to stop the commotion in Saitz, and we will have a chance."

"Okay. 'Cause I'm gonna bark at the clan guy."

Basamark then wrote a letter addressed to the Beltzd County Governor, which he had Thomas take with him, and Thomas left for Beltzd.
