"So, how are you going to move?

Before Signis and Roberto, who entered the room, greet each other, the Earl of Salzberg cuts out the requirements terminally.

That's the attitude my husband takes towards ministers.

Of course, in the three boys of the Count and the Baron family there is a separation between heaven and earth in their identities, so it would never be disrespectful, but it would be true that it is an act that could be received with arrogance.

Whereas the surroundings have mocked the two Robertos, it is a rather rare attitude for the Earl of Salzberg, who has consistently recognized their power and treated them with courtesy and moderation.

(Are you saying that the skin peeled off? That's all they're after...)

To the attitude of its Count, Signis felt a fierce rage gushing in his heart.

Of course, Count Salzberg's state of mind and war is not meant to be fully understood.

This battle, which should have been overwhelmingly advantageous, is about to begin to change into an invisible long-term battle.

There are parts of it that the Count can't help if he starts to show his frustrating, less hidden nature.

But even if I knew it, it would be people's hearts that I don't agree with.

(Calm down...... I'm in the middle of a fight right now. It's boring, but even if you're bored, it's worse and worse.)

Hiding his anger, Signis turns his attention to Roberto. Because I saw Roberto's hand trembling with anger.

Looking at the attitude of those two, Count Salzberg turned his bottom glance.

"Let's hear it again. How does it work in the future?

Signis and Roberto face to face with the question thrown again.

(I can't help lying. You should be honest here)

It's a suggestion I don't really want to hear for the Earl of Salzberg, but I have to say what needs to be said.

Signis mouths his thoughts with his eyes slightly down.

"I thought an early ceasefire would be best if we were to take safety precautions."

If it was weeks ago, it would be like laughing with your nose. However, given the current situation, it can be described as an extremely reasonable proposal.

(I never thought they'd use the northern inhabitants as weapons...)

The fortified city of Ipilos is an important part of the national defence in the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia and boasts the largest population. Surrounded by walls, it's a city that can be described as impenetrable.

Originally there was no room for food stockpiles or weapons development, and there has been a significant increase in line with this battle.

But there was no room for food or consumables in Ipilos today.

Why things have changed so much in just a few moments. That is the presence of countless refugees who wake up at the south gate of Ipilos and wait for the castle gate to open.

They are the inhabitants living in the villages and towns of northern Roselia.

There is a natural reason why they have abandoned their daily lives and fled to Ipilos.

Yes, it is the effect of the raid carried out by a group that seems to be a separate unit of Baron Shiba's army.

The defense of the territory was extremely thin because the Lords sent many of the knights in hand to Ipilos for this battle.

Of course, although there were soldiers in place to prepare for bandits, monsters, etc., there is not enough force left in any territory to prevent raids by hundreds of knights.

The enemy has followed that gap.

It burned down the territories of the ten northern houses that existed south of Ipilos.

The residents who had been burned to the ground and lost their habitual homes had no choice but to move towards Ipilos, which seemed safe.

Maybe that's why they knew their lord was in Ipilos.

And now there are countless people outside with the city of Ipyros, seeking refuge in the Count of Salzberg, who boasts the greatest power as the allies of the ten northern houses.

"Don't like it...... just because we're in a somewhat unexpected situation right now doesn't mean we're at a disadvantage. There's still more of us as soldiers, and it's not supposed to be about stockpiling or starving right away."

"Of course. But it seems pretty hard to win even if you keep fighting like this. The enemy is putting a dry kill on us. You're going to wait for the time without breaking the jizz guard where we went on offense. Whether we lose now or not... Roberto, what do you think?

"I hit it the other day, but you'd better see how highly they're practicing. I guess that's what you'd better think of as the regular Knights of the Kingdom. It's not a bad idea for us to compete..."

Roberto glances over his shoulder at the question of Signis.

Although it is a really attractive bet in the sense of one or eight beats, I refused to say that the bet is my life.

"In the current state of disturbing the footsteps of the ten northern houses... can't you"

To those two attitudes, the Earl of Salzberg shook his head sideways with a deep sigh.

Everyone is complaining.

In such circumstances, the Count's power as an ally is also limited.

"Yeah, that's the whole problem. And Baron Shiba is skillfully poking at that weakness"

Now Ipilos is a situation where all sorts of thoughts are intrusive and uncontrollable.

Firstly, there is a constant grudge between refugees and existing residents. If you try to be the inhabitants of Ipilos, you are only a disturber, such as a thin, dirty refugee.

From the use of water plants to the distribution of food, there are endless stories.

But still, the refugees accommodated inside Ipilos are still fine. Outside the South Gate there are many times as many people.

Underneath them outside the walls of the castle, barely even the Count Salzberg's imposition reaches.

And in the grievance of such refugees, the principals of the ten northern houses come under the Count like a day in a row.

It was only natural that there would be dissatisfaction because while one of the same refugees was disputed and in the walls, crude and on a meal, outside the walls he had no choice but to sleep on the muddy soil.

And there's no way the Lords can leave such a people's grievance alone.

Even aristocrats, who usually see it only as a tool to squeeze out taxes, tend to their tools.

However, as Earl of Salzberg, there is no other way to strike him.

No matter how many of the largest cities in the north, the capacity of Ipilos is limited.

Food and water are never infinite.

It is difficult to match the tents for houses and camps with enough numbers for all refugees.

And the biggest problem is the fact that there will never be more of those supplies in the future.

An unanswered trail.

The room stains bright red at sunset.

That was a hunch for the fate of the three of us.
