"Yes. Where are Count Voltaire and Count Elheat?"
There are different ranks among counts.
As of now, there was no doubt that Elheat was more advanced in Lunan's rank than I was.
As I still need Lunan's na at least for now, I can't go against that rank now.
Count Voltaire, on the other hand, is of a lower rank than .
"Lord Elheat is recuperating and Lord Voltaire will be arriving shortly!"
"I see. Well, there's one thing that's bothering . How did you recognize ?"
"It was a man who claid to be an Aquitania vassal who was with us..."
Before Voltaire's retainer could finish answering, I knew.
Zeff's been waiting for at the castle gate.
At the sa ti, the earth-shaking sound of horses' hooves began to echo in Voltaire Castle.
What appeared before was the Iron Cavalry.
Slightly less than ten thousand iron cavalryn ca running towards , in a tight parade-style formation.
As they ca running towards , they ford an orderly line in front of , dismounted from their horses, and knelt before .
"My lord, we see you!"
Lucana told him about Istin's intentions, but Fran shook his head.
"I'm not going to give him any room to maneuver. The entire army must march on Voltaire Castle!"
This is not an opponent he can defeat by scattering his troops.
He didn't want to take the worst possible chance of being destroyed individually.
Determined to win, Fran gave orders to the generals.
Also giving them all the warning that the Third had already lost at least 30% of it's forces due to this formidable foe reinforcing that they should act as a whole and not for independent glory.
And to the Warlords an announcent that the 4th seat had beco open.

Are we going to fight Fran's main army in this lowly castle?
That was insane.
It was a path of self-destruction that could not even be called a strategy.
With 150,000 troops surrounding the castle, there would be little chance of gaining an advantage in a defensive battle.
Even though it has low and easy to climb walls, the elite iron cavalry that I had raised would be surrounded without being able to play an active role, perfect for starving to death after being attacked and besieged.
It's the perfect way to get the opposite of what I used in Bridget.
And in the unprepared castle of Voltaire?
That's not going to happen.
"Sir. His Excellency, Julius. Sir!"
As I was conceptualizing another way to tornt Visigoth, Voltaire's vassal ca running in.
"What is it?"
"Visigoth's army seems to be closing in! There's a large dust cloud in the distance!"
He was completely frightened and shouted with a breathless face.
How can you fight properly in such a state?
"A large army of Visigoth? Let's go see."
I replied calmly.
"Ha, yes!"
It would have been impossible for the 150.000 n Visigoth's army to arrive so quickly.
The speed of 10,000 and 150,000 troops is very different.
I don't care if Duke Fran has dispersed the troops.
It would have been nice if he had done that, but there was no way Fran would have done it.
Fran was a strategist of a different calibre than the Bridget army.
In any case, I followed Voltaire's vassal up to the castle gate to check it out with my own eyes.
