On the battlents of the royal capital, the place which would soon be the site of a fierce battle, I was talking with General Bellac.
"What is the status of the Royal Army?"
Of course, I could see it in the system, but I needed to hear it anyway.
Because it would be weird if I knew before he explained.
"The Royal Army has around 10,000 left. We should have gathered troops from all the territories, but they all surrendered and ran away, so we only have the garrison of the royal capital."
"Wait a minute. Most of the territories surrendered without a fight?"
When Yurasia, who was listening, interrupted, Bellac nodded and said.
"That's the way it is Your Highness."
In other words, there were no territorial troops that ca to support the royal capital.
Furthermore, it seed that no support troops had co from the territories north of the capital that had yet to be invaded.
While the King of Lunan was taking his ti to prepare reinforcents, Bridget's invasion was breaking out at a breakneck pace, making the situation even worse.
If we could have co before the invasion the situation would have been completely different.
However, I still don't intend to give up.
"But how do you propose to fight them? With the kingdom's army and reinforcents combined, we only have 40,000 troops..."
General Bellac asked .
"We'd better make the most of the siege."
That's it for now.
However, Bellac let out a chuckle at my words.
"A brilliant strategist's best tactic is siege to withstand a siege? Hahaha."
He sneered, turned his back on and went down the castle wall on his own.
The general of the kingdom army has no intention of fighting.
If the general was like that it was only natural that the morale of the kingdom's army was only eight.
"He's right."
Yurasia bit her lip with a sorrowful expression as she watched him.
"I didn't think Roserun was this pathetic. They all seem to think that 30,000 troops won't be of any use, even though 30,000 isn't a small number...."
"It's probably because there are so many enemies, especially if you're not used to war."
"I believe that we can win if we resist desperately. If we all unite our hearts, we can do it!"
Well, that's true, we all needed to get our minds together.
In other words, I had to raise the troop's morale, and if I'm very lucky encourage the capitals citizens to enlist on the spot to bolster our numbers.
If the soldiers of the country were only thinking about escaping, the morale of the reinforcents would not rise.
No matter how good the strategy was, it was aningless if it could not even be implented.
She was grateful to because I was the one who persuaded the King of Lunan to send the 30,000 reinforcents.
That's why she even knelt down in Lunan to express her gratitude to but that was as far as it went.
She didn't trust completely, it's not surprising, since I've never presented her with a strategy or shown her any kind of ability, the only bit's she truly knows about is what little she saw when she monitored while considering assassinating the entire ti she lived as Sarah.
"I don't want to ask you to die in another country's war. If you knew that Roserun was in such a bad situation and didn't say such things to the King of Lunan you could've left now. I admit that the situation has gotten worse but I will fight. I will not let Bridget step on this land until I die!"
She said while looking at sideways but I don't have that option.
Where would I go without a fight?
"That's not going to happen. After invading Roserun, the next target for Bridget will definitely be Lunan. We will fight together until the end; please don't forget that, Your Highness. No matter what happens from now on, you must never give up. If only Your Highness can endure without giving up, I will create a miracle."
The princess bowed her head and thanked .
"I am very grateful for your help! To think I almost slayed my countries greatest hope..."
Then, turning her back to , she put her hand on the castle wall and looked out from above.
The silence continued for a while until she asked a question.
"Will a miracle really happen?"
"If you follow my strategy, Your Highness, I will definitely create a miracle."
Yurasia clenched her fists and said.
"Then I will repay your kindness by any ans necessary!"
"It's not a favour. Besides a young, maiden such as you shouldn't be saying things like that, If you continue to fight, a miracle will happen."
"I'll never give up!"
Responding by spinning round to face her face fully flushed.
She's really excited for battle, what a athead.
"Then I'll make a miracle happen."
I answered with a voice full of conviction; because that was the reason I ca to this place.
