The Strategist Knows Everything

Halper Castle, a giant castle in Velis that enters three fingers, almost in the center of Velis, so it is also a solid castle prepared for attack from all directions.

That's the castle where I am now.

The armies of aristocrats who had laid huge siege nets here are continuously gathering. Some join together in small numbers, like me, and some in more than a thousand armies. It would be an intensive operation that can only be done because the siege net is gradually narrowing.

With that in mind, I look at the fan chillily, then at a piece of paper. It was caught in a fan, from Sofia.

The contents of the letter, written in polite letters, were merely descriptions of this fan, so powerful as to be called a divine fan, and the last words of his own. Instructions rather than letters, but this would be a letter if you were to say that it was not just a letter to explain, but to convey your thoughts.

"Think you're replacing me..."

Think of it as my replacement.

That's the only word that was written at the end, but it can also be conveyed in short words. I squeeze my fan and slowly pull myself out.

This is already a battlefield. You also have to be strong to live up to your promises. You have to keep making it look strong. To enemies, to allies.

I can hear you knocking on the door small. This is a simple waiting room. As soon as I got to the castle, I was put through here.

"I hope His Highness will come soon."

A boy with an unknown face tells me that as he lowers his head to me.

If you were getting ready to pick me up, anything would be too soon. If there's a clock, it's time to show that the needle has already moved to the next day. I thought you were asleep, but they don't.

"What does Master Dio do now?

"We are in the middle of a military debate. He wants you to join him."

"I see. I'll be right there. Can I ask you to show me around?

"Certainly."

When I walk out of the room early, the boy says this way and walks in front of me. This castle is huge. I am confident that I will not reach my destination without guidance. Well, if you have to, you just have to give me a map, but I feel like that's a waste of skills. You can count on it, and you will be stuck at your feet. You have to do what you can on your own first. Now it is up to me to remember the structure and path of the castle.

Did I say it was enough to keep walking? Probably pretty upstairs because I climbed the stairs a few times. My legs are pretty tight, but I arrived in front of the room where I was going.

"Excuse me. We've brought Master Clay."

"Please come in."

That's what the guard soldier says, not even checking inside to see if the story was going through. When I think I'll see Dear Dio and Count Eulen in a while, I'm about to spill a laugh, but I couldn't possibly bring that laugh to my face. I'm not here to see Master Dio or Count Eulen. I'm here to make Master Dio win as soon as possible. I'm not here to talk to you the way I've always been.

The door, which is about two meters long, opens slowly.

Trying to surround the larger desk inside, people in armor seemed to be talking. No, it won't be a story. Should it be called a conflict of opinion?

That stops. A dozen knights, and the gaze of those who lead an army, pours on me. All you have to do is throw yourself into battle, and everyone has an unusually sharp eye and a strong eye. I can't breathe enough.

It's not an enemy, it's an ally. It will be no more when it comes to opposing enemies.

Then, to the extent that they are drinking, they won't even be able to face Kaguya, Dio's sister. Unless I swallow the other way around here.

I can't let Master Dio win.

"Yukito Clay. I just got here."

"Well done. Good luck escorting the supreme maiden."

Master Dio tells me so in a strong tone. I mean, that's the place to say it, but if I swallow this place, I'll have to take the lead.

First of all, only to gather your gaze.

"Any number, if at all. However, there will be no such thing as an eye friendly mission."

"That interrupted your happy hour."

"Absolutely. However, Princess Kaguya also hears that she is beautiful. That's all I've been looking forward to."

"My sister is certainly a beautiful woman. That Rin beauty won't beat the supreme maiden."

"Well, let's just say we go check it out soon. As a winner."

At the same time as that word, I took out the fan in my nostalgia with my right hand and gently tapped my left hand.

Master Dio smiles invincibly and tells after a slightly unexpected look.

"Does my military master have a must-win strategy?

"I can slaughter as many people as I want as a hound. When they become His Highness's sister, they don't either. but there are a few things I would like to try."

"Enough. As you can see, this is not what we're talking about."

When I walk over to Dear Dio, I turn my gaze to the map that is spreading on my desk.

On the map is a pawn, which shows the force on the spot.

"If the siege continues for a long period of time, the opponent will be exhausted. So I advised you to create a giant siege net. That was just a must win with that one, why did you stop?

"Hmm, that's a must win? How many little castles have you dropped that won't lead to a win! Besides, the few armies you send out to drop your opponent's castle have been hit many times by an ambush unit led by General Kaguya! It's over there with the victory!

That's what the big man with his golden hair pruned said as he looked at me like a frigid.

The screen appears as Lectoru Pawles. The position is general and the fighting power is late eighties. Intelligence, fifty just. (i) A soldier would have no problem, but as a commander of a unit he would have a problem. As you can see from the current words, the horizons are narrow. I defeat the enemy in front of me and only think with what I get from it.

"General Paules. So, what would you do?

"I would lead the whole army to a great showdown! We need more victories than we need small defeats!

Several voices rise up in support of General Paules screaming.

What are you saying to the habits you said you were dropping the little castle yourself. This guy. Taking the castle is also a small victory. Besides, that would be Kaguya's long-awaited development. Master Kaguya has won every battlefield, but he boasts unparalleled strength, especially in battles in the field. Well, I don't know if this is accurate because it's due to the records that were kept, but it's also true that the tail is attached. It's the pinnacle of stupidity to fight that man from the front.

However.

"Then all armies, well...... lead the 10,000 sized army that is gathering now to fight His Highness Kaguya from the front and break it. Are you sure the Admiral is General Paules? Dear Dio."

"I don't care if Yukito is good"

"That's right. Good luck, then."

"Hey, wait a minute! The opponent is General Kaguya's 10,000! We don't know if we're gonna get to the 10,000 we just got together!? How reckless of you to fight with that! His opponent is General Kaguya!

I sigh deeply at General Paules. The generals who conveyed my intentions persisted, and those who agreed with General Paules realized that General Paules was in an awkward position.

"That's what you said. I want a big showdown."

"That's a story from forming an army that has gathered more overwhelming troops and increased proficiency than its opponents! You can't beat General Kaguya in the same number, in the same level of skill!

"Exactly. If you know what I mean, I'd like you to be kind enough to say a big word after you virtualize what you don't have. I'm truly unconscious, unintentionally, but I expected it."

"You! Are you fooling me!?

"What can I say without saying I'm stupid!? Master Dio is wise. So I also understood that you uttered words after so many virtuals! But what were you going to do if you didn't understand and believed your words exactly as you said and left the army to you!? This should be the place to give your opinion to win! It's not a place to say or do anything rash!

I'm guessing you're referring to General Paules now that there's no sound of goo. If I didn't know, I would have begged Dio to dismiss me from the general, but if I dropped my shoulder and saw that I cared about him, I wouldn't have to.

"Yukito. Can you make it that far? Paules is a valued employee of mine. If you think you didn't make it, you'll reflect."

"If Master Dio says so, he won't say anything from me. but it is unpleasant to be blocked from words without meaning. The next time the same thing happens, I may shut my mouth."

"Hehe, I'd love to see you whisper, but that's after I hear your thoughts. How do we analyze the current situation?

Master Dio asks me that in a bright, soft voice if I cared about General Paules.

The map on the desk shows this Halper Castle and the Kanon Castle, where Kaguya is based, as two ends, with small castles and fortifications between them. Fighting is decisive, and this map is good for tactics, but given the strategic aspects.

"You don't have enough power on this map. Map a little bigger...... right, do you have a map with Wang Du in it?

"Right. I was just thinking about it. I have it ready. I'll let you have it."

That said, Master Dio immediately gives instructions to change the map. Among the generals are those who try to speak up, those who are confused, those who are silent, those who are acquainted with not saying at last.

That's crazy. This is a place for military discussion. It's supposed to be the general who's gathering here, but there's one person who's so active. My hair is reddish and taller than mine, but I'm not saying it's extra tall, and my shoulders aren't wide. The grey eyes are connected and look sharp, but have no other exterior features. I don't have the special intimidation that every person in this room has.

The screen came out and I could tell that he was a mercenary captain by the name of Ars Crowe. Combat power is in the first half of the nineties. Probably the strongest person on this scene. Intelligence is also about eighty, with fast speeds in the late nineties. Definitely a warrior whose speed takes the tactic of selling.

You notice my gaze, Ars doesn't speak a word and tells me his intentions with his mouth movement.

In three letters, hey, um, yeah. I thought I told you to get it over with because you're sleepy. He might have a good, medium personality with a nigga laugh.

After exchanging maps, I take a breath and then start explaining.

"Our purpose is victory. I would like to remind you once again that what you are seeking is not the victory in front of you, but the victory of His Highness Diorud over the present king. No matter how much you lose in the process, as a result, if you beat the current king, you will have no problem. And you don't need to actively fight His Highness Kaguya either. After making a detour and luring him out, the main unit will take over the current king. So this war is over. Keep this in mind because this is the development I'm thinking about."

"Well, it's easy to say, but it's a question of what to do with it."

"It's the first thing you should decide. Everyone thinks about it and what they can do in the process. That's the meeting. But I'm sorry where I finally took a step, but you all look tired. I'm a little tired, too."

"Right. We will dissolve this place and hold another military conference tomorrow. Everyone, dismiss!

"As you wish."

There is a man who comes near me as we all bow back.

Ars.

"Sorry. Did I make you pay attention?

"No, there's nothing you can do with your sleepy head."

"That must be it. I can't win battles when my generals are sleepless. Is this military council with you? Bye. I'm Ars Crowe, the mercenary. Nice to meet you, Master."

"Nice to meet you. Lord Ars."

After saying so and exchanging some words, Ars left the room, and all the generals, left the room.

As soon as I got out of my mind, I couldn't help myself. I can lean against my desk, but my knees are trembling.

"Have you lost your mind?

"I want to see it. It's because I did something I wasn't used to."

"I was inside. The military teacher."

I'll rebuild myself while I thank Master Dio for saying so. From now on, I have a few things to discuss with Master Dio.

"It's true you're tired. That must be Dear Dio, and let's get it over with."

"Right. I haven't been moving as much as my body thinks lately. If I could, I'd like to go to bed now."

If you look at Dear Dio's face you say with a laugh, there is something slightly attached. Probably makeup. As Ars said earlier, you can't even win a battle that a general can win because of lack of sleep. That is more a question of morale than a question of generals. A soldier doesn't want to fight under a general with a bad skin color who's about to fall. So, even if you are tired, the general has to pretend to be fine and you have to make it look that way.

"I'll finish it right away. First of all, do you still have to skip Cannon Castle on the road to King's Capital?

"The Great Army."

"I see. Next, are there any generals besides Dear Dio who can lead the entire army?

"If I were here, I'd be resting. It's still better because Count Eulen is well supplied, but honestly, I'll keep the army, so it's the best I can do."

"Okay. Let me ask you one last thing. Was it by the voices around you that you deliberately stopped the protracted battle by the siege net?

"No, I'm not. It's my will. We cannot prolong this civil unrest any longer. Short-term battle for you. I... discuss my father. [M] Yukito. So just for a few moments, can you help me attract my sister?

I saw a firm willingness in Dear Dio's eyes to say so. If you are so hard-willed by then, there is no reason to dare speak of a protracted war, which is a security measure. More importantly, short-term battles are where I want them too.

"Thank you. Let's do our best. Dear Dio, the path will always open."

Saying that, I knelt down to Lady Dio and started thinking about what I needed to do for a short fight.
