"" "Long live the Emperor!! Long live the Emperor!!

Elquille in a four-headed carriage was progressing through the flower blizzards made by the citizens.

Every time Elquille waves, the citizens are enthusiastic.

That too should be because it has been a long time since the Lemurian Empire has won the war properly.

It is because Hadrianus III was too bad at war.

"Now don't raise my backing either."

Elquille got a big cheer, too, and she's in a good mood.

Winning the war raises support.

This can be said of any country, age or culture.

A war-resistant general, a king is supported no matter what his personality may be.

No failures, no heavy taxes, no repression...

If we win the war, the ratings will be pulled back.

Now we can say that Elquille's power base is cheap.

… some people feel itchy about it.

"Bye!! Great Post-War Reflections!!!

This time gathering the generals who served in the war, Erkühl said with high tension and applause.

Darios is also present.

"What kind of event is this?

"It's a reflection, of this war"

"... you won, didn't you?

"Maybe a little more, you had a good way of winning. Plus, there were some improvements."

Elquille answers Galphis's question.

In fact, Erkür is a category of human beings who are said to be hard-workers.

A glimpse of what you've said and done so far may tip your neck...

From reading large volumes of books, learning multiple languages, accumulating vast knowledge, reading back large volumes of administrative material, reviewing tax systems, persuading officials, to paperwork…

It is all, without a doubt, an effort.

Effort is just a process to achieve an end.

And the more fun the process is, the shorter it can be, the better.

and Elquille thinks.

Time is finite, so you should save as much time as you can, use no effort, and as little stress as possible, work, and turn the rest of your time to something else.

Wasting time and strength for a long time and stress is not hard work or anything else, it's just laziness and it's not worth anything.

That's what Elquille thinks.

That's why I reflect.

If the result was good, analyze why it was good and work out measures to make it better.

If the result was bad, analyze the reasons for the bad and avoid repeating the mistake again.

Make improvements.

That would be the thing to call hard work.

That's why...

"It's a great reflection. Unstoppable, Darios. Let's start with your reflection."

"... is it mine? I was the enemy..."

"It's also important to analyze why the enemy lost, isn't it?

I see, Darios is convinced...

Think a little and open your mouth.

"If it's a plain, you've won."

"You think I'm dumb enough to compete head-on in the plains against more opponents than my own army?

"The famous climbers who hunted down Lemuria destroyed about twice as many opponents, didn't they?

"That's not a human trick. You can't be a fifteen-year-old kid."

At least, Erkühr doesn't have the strength to reproduce the famous art of war.

In the first place, Darios wouldn't allow it.

Darios would be able to push it off and win before Elquille sieges it.

In the first place, but it's weirder to bring Mr. Elephant out to attract the owners of the crazy idea of climbing mountains before the war.

"Well, that's right. If you're serious, there must have been no generals to lead a decent army other than me. That would have allowed us to disperse a little more troops and be on our guard. Well, there can't be an option for more generals. Mercenaries cannot be trusted."

"You were a mercenary, too, weren't you?

"Mercenaries are the ones you don't trust the most."

It's a fellow hater.

"Well, your reflection is brought to life by welcoming you into our army. Don't worry."

"... it's hard to say."

Darios with a complex look on his face.

Most importantly, so far Darios has not intended to betray Erkühl, nor has he resented him.

Instead, I preferred my new husband, who gave me a chance to be born, and I thought Ali was going to watch the young boy who defeated himself grow up close.

"Shall I tell you your cause of defeat from me?

"What is it?

"It's about taking territory from your father. You shouldn't have had territory you couldn't even run."

"Ha... just like you said"

Darios had a good impression on Elquille...

I also felt uncomfortable.

That should be it, too.

Now Darios' colleagues are the generals Darios once defeated.

However, there are no spiritual generals who can dispute Elquille's decision.

"Now, Darios' reflection has been so far... shall we do our army's reflection"

"But any improvements? I think it all turned out well this time."

Carolina tilted her neck adorably.

"Well, there was no problem with the strategic tactics. The problem was fighting... I mean a weapon."

"... weapons? What's it about?

"It's an infantry spear. It's good to have adopted five meters of spears at once...... bad takeover! Lack of flexibility"

Until now, the Lemurian army employs equipment that combines daggers with shields and spears.

This is flexible, but outdated in modern times when cavalry has developed.

So he abandoned his shield and equipped him with a five-meter spear, which also turned his tactics into the corresponding thing.

Note that this five-meter spear is a revival of the spear used in the Faranx tactics of the Great Old Age known as Sarissa.

In other words, the Lemurian army regressed to its first gear for thousands of years.

But...

"This time, let me go down the hill. Okay, but that's no good. The line collapses quickly, and it's too weak for a riot."

In the infantry, he threw a spear early and even appeared to those who fought with the sword of a portable weapon.

Again, long spears cannot be used in close combat or in poor scaffolding.

What Elquille wants is a highly flexible army.

An army capable of drawing more than a certain strength to any enemy, on any terrain, in any weather.

The land of the Lemurian Empire has deserts and plains, as well as mountainous areas.

The enemies also vary with nomadic peoples, mountain peoples.

There must be no unusable terrain somewhere.

No way can we separate it from desert-only mountain-only forest-only plains, etc.

"So, to Legion?

I changed the corner, and you're putting it back?

Galphis asks Elquille.

"That too...... after all, spears are better than daggers. I just want a shield to prevent arrows. And to prevent the cavalry, I knew it was five meters... and I knew I wanted seven meters."

……

"Is there a weapon that can be used in conjunction with a light shield that has a long reach and is more advantageous than the enemy, and is also resistant to turmoil, even if it has poor scaffolding?

……

That's too much luxury.

The generals penetrated inside.

Something convenient like that, so...

"So why don't you use it all?

Darios jokingly said.

Then...

"That's it!!

"... Huh?

The policy of equipping the nascent Lemurian army was determined.
