Let's first calmly compare the differences between the Erkür and Hadrianus armies.

The big difference is number.

Elquille is better in numbers.

However, there is not more than double the difference in force, but a difference in numbers that can be easily overshadowed depending on the generals, luck, weather and terrain.

And the difference between every soldier.

First, the projectile weapons unit.

The Erkühr army is a 9600 long bow unit.

Hadrianus Army is a crossbow unit of 2000.

The Erkühr army is far superior due to the difference in numbers.

Taking into account the differences in projectivity, the Erkühr army has a far advantage in projectile weapons.

Next is the infantry unit.

The Erkühr army is a mix of 19200 Pike and Halvard troops.

The Hadrianus army is 2000, weapons vary from person to person, and there is no unity.

The former is inferior in number, but since it is not so great a difference, it can be considered a range of errors.

In addition, the former is still advantageous given the performance of the weapon, its unity and the proficiency and morale of each soldier.

Last but not least the cavalry unit.

The Erkühr Army is a heavy-duty cavalry (Crivanarius) 9600.

The Hadrianus army has a light cavalry of horseback nomad Bulgarians of 8000 and a total of 1000 cavalry cavalry prepared in front of it.

This difference in numbers is also an error.

Practice is... indescribable.

First of all, the Erkühr army's heavy-duty cavalry (Kribanalius) is undoubtedly elite, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the strongest heavy-duty cavalry on the continent.

But the light cavalry of the Horse-riding Nomadic Bulgarians of the Hadrianus Army is also elite.

Anyway, they're born cavalry.

And the power of that shooting is immense.

I don't have to count the 2000 prepared by Hadrianus in front of me.

That is a cavalry moddock where the rich enough to prepare the horse just rode the horse.

If you look at it this way, I know...

It is the cavalry of both wings that determines this battle.

That is the only victory for the Hadrianus Army, and also the Erkühr Army is the only one likely to lose.

And to battle in the cavalry, if either side wins...

Punch the side of the other infantry.

That way, wins and loses will be decided.

So Erkühr took the lead.

That is, the elimination of enemy cavalry.

If we are to be specific...... it is a takeover of the Bulgarians.

The Erkühr and Hadrianus armies remained facing each other and did not move for three days.

Because the Erkühr army continued to trap without even riding the provocation of the Hadrianus army after building a strong position.

Erkühl wasn't going to ride Hadrianus cheap provocation.

Not until the negotiations in front of you are over.

"A young general of the Bulgarians. Well done for coming."

Erkühr spoke in Bulgarian to the young man in front of him - albeit older than Erkühr.

No way, the young man was surprised and opened his eyes, not expecting Emperor Lemuria to be able to use Bulgarian.

Elquille was leading a Bulgarian cavalry, inviting one of the generals into the formation.

They secretly sent messengers, and when they said they wanted to talk, they responded.

… This does not mean that the person has nothing to discuss with Erkühl at all at the stage that the person responds to the discussion.

At the stage of getting your opponent to the table, the battle is almost settled.

"This is, please be polite... where do you speak Bulgarian?

"It's rare, but it's about tutoring. It would be natural as an emperor to remember the words of a Bulgaron country that is a friend (...) and an ally (...)"

Erkühr says with a fortified tone to a particular word.

Because that's where the Bulgarians cry.

In fact, the general is also trying to remain calm...

I can see the colour of haste in those eyes.

There are, to sum up, four treaties concluded between the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgarons.

· Both sides, inviolable, do not plunder.

· Make a deal.

· Upon the request of Emperor Lemuria, the Kingdom of Bulgaron sends reinforcements.

· The Lemurian Empire pays certain contribution payments annually to the Kingdom of Bulgarons.

With this treaty, the two countries have established friendship once and for all.

At first glance, it may seem that the Lemurian Empire is buying peace against the Bulgaron kingdom with gold and gaining temporary peace...

Things aren't that simple.

The most significant item in this Treaty is transactions.

Nomads can't make a living without farmers.

Sheep meat and horse milk alcohol alone are clearly not nutritious enough.

Nomads need grains and other necessities produced by farmers.

And the only way to get it is through a deal.

Whether you get it for looting or not...... but there are limits to looting, and the risks are great.

Besides, if you plunder, you will fight the Lemurian Empire.

The Bulgarians are strong.

You could win a hundred rounds and ninety-nine.

But the Bulgaron Kingdom will be defeated if it loses the last time, in the hundredth.

Meanwhile, the Lemurian Empire is weak.

Hundreds of rounds, sometimes losing ninety-nine.

But if you win the last time, it's a victory for the Lemurian Empire.

The Bulgarians, whose population is less than two million, and the Lemurian Empire, which lightly exceeds 10 million.

The difference in national power is historical.

And most importantly, Elquille is strong.

Above all, it is proof of that that you defeated Darios.

The Bulgarians don't really want to fight the Elkhurs.

So why did you respond to Hadrianus?

This is easy.

It's not just Hadrianus, it's the Bulgarians.

The Bulgarians also know that Erkühl is trying to restore the land in war.

The real thing about the Bulgarians is that they would like to ask Elquille to leave if possible.

Besides, if we put Hadrianus on the throne with our own hands, the future deal will go well.

That's what I thought, and I stuck with it.

It was also one of the reasons why Hadrianus was so confident.

"General, I'm going to ask you nothing about this one."

"... no question, is it?

"Oh. We're friends. A little, there was just an unfortunate mistake, wasn't there?

Erkühl laughed at the Bulgarians' generals.

"So, then..."

"The covenants made between us must continue to be maintained.... leave as soon as you can."

"... Your Majesty's warmth, I thank you"

"Nah, it's a generous and unilateral concession, natural as Emperor Lemuria"

The general makes a bitter face.

In this case, I owe Elquille a great deal.

And Erkühl eliminated eight thousand cavalry from the battlefield without damaging a single one.

Victory and defeat were almost decided.

And... this is for the record...

Later, the general will regret it for the rest of his life.

At that time, he said he should have taken the risk but fought and defeated Elquille.

A future not far away, that brutal emperor who is said to be the 'Bulgaron Killer'...

"That's why I said I wouldn't trust you!! Those savages!! He always betrayed me!! Why, why!!!

Hadrianus screams.

But there is already nothing the Bulgarians can do after fleeing, aware of their disadvantages.

And...

It is Elquille who waits.

Erkühl, who no longer needs to flee, is exiting the position and assembling formations.

... even if it's unfavourable, we'll have to go to battle.

"It's okay, I have a god attached to me. Even Master Gibreel, you said. He said I deserved the emperor. It's okay, you can win."

Hadrianus prays to God with trembling when he comes here and finally realizes he is being hunted down.

... Not to mention that it wasn't God or angel who showed up at Hadrianus, it was the devil, but it would be a flower.

It was my only good fortune not to know that.

Meanwhile, there was a man who had decided to be ready apart from Hadrianus.

"... that's why I said. We should not defy His Majesty the Emperor..."

It's Oscar Almon, a man with shallow black skin.

Oscar knew.

That Erkühr's win is unshakeable.

And aim for Elquille.

That if it succeeds, many people - including themselves - will die.

Oscar understood.

That's why Oscar...

"I need to do something about myself and my men's lives and move to help them."

Not a battle to win, but an unbeatable battle.

Oscar chose.

Oscar doesn't know.

That this decision will radically change my destiny.
