The Immortal Genius Spearman (135)
The Glory Knights appear on the battlefield.

The ripple effect was bound to be enormous.

“Haha, I never thought that guy with a heavy butt would step forward himself.”

The Baroque kingdom’s chancellor, Mathurz Jankov, was both delighted and worried by Heinel’s appearance.

Because his appearance itself had considerable meaning.

Perhaps those who wanted to try again could approach Heinel.

“It won’t be easy since the situation is different now than it was then.”

Because in these turbulent times, he is an important figure who can serve as a focal point.

but…….

“But why did Duke Heinel return to the battlefield leading the knights?”

Count Laclaman, the chief secretary of the royal household who was sitting opposite the chancellor, asked.

Although he was glad to see Heinel, he couldn’t help but have doubts.

At that, Mateus shook his head.

“How can we know his deep intentions right away? However, since he has come to the battlefield, it also means that he will soon enter the palace… … For now, we have no choice but to wait.”

“This time, the Empire really sharpened its sword and tried to swallow up the Spanish Kingdom… … but it ended up not being able to obtain either the Spanish Kingdom or the Tirkan Kingdom.”

“What happened to the imperial army that was moving to the sea?”

“They haven’t arrived yet. Besides, the 3rd Corps has already been deployed along the coast.”

“The fact that the troops coming into the sea have stopped… … must have a lot to do with their retreat this time.”

If all had gone according to plan, their plan would have been to invade the Spanish Kingdom while simultaneously attacking the north and west of the Baroque Kingdom.

However, due to the plan being blocked in the north, the army trying to enter from the west also had no choice but to stop.

In any case, it couldn’t have been anything but a rather awkward situation for the empire.

“I am worried about one thing. They say that the power struggle with the Empire has been fierce recently… … but in terms of overall strength, they are actually stronger.”

“What are the movements of the Artian Kingdom?”

“So far, they are friendly. Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to look into it a bit more, but in the end, if we collapse, they could be in danger too.”

From the empire’s standpoint, moving quickly was of the utmost importance.

But with both timing and speed lost, there won’t be many cards they can pull out.

“Perhaps… … we should recognize that a large-scale battle unprecedented in history may take place.”

Only Lacla nodded to Mateus’ words.

“Then, this time, we will reward the units that have achieved results to the fullest extent possible and boost their morale.”

“Haha, I can already picture General Kiaren smiling.”

The stress level of the 6th Corps Commander Kiaren has been indescribable due to the recent series of imperial invasions.

In this situation, if she could reward her subordinates, her mood would improve a little.

“For now, I guess I’ll have to watch the situation a little longer.”

“I think that’s what it should be.”

The situation is flowing so complicatedly.

The two people were able to end the meeting with relief that the crisis had been overcome.

* * *

The 2nd Division reinforcements of the 6th Corps, including the Kion Unit, were able to arrive at Sragan safely.

Of course, we lost soldiers to Galberon’s attacks on the way here.

“Thank you so much for coming.”

“We are allies, right? That’s only natural.”

Diorant, who had come leading the reinforcements, shook hands lightly with the welcoming Mateus.

Soon, while all the soldiers were resting, a meeting of officers was held.

“The imperial army that came down here is no longer coming and is just standing still. It seems that they are just observing the situation because their plan to fight after the reinforcements were cut off has fallen through.”

“… … If we had been hit, this place would have been a sea of ​​fire by now.”

“That’s how it would have been….”

There is an army guarding Sraggan, but it is impossible to stop the Empire with the Auror Masters on their side.

It would have only dragged on for a few days before it eventually fell.

Mateus assessed the current situation calmly.

Without the Baroque kingdom, they would have been like a candle in the wind.

He was truly grateful to the Baroque kingdom for its support.

But the problem is not yet solved.

“If the imperial forces do not completely withdraw, I think we should consider that there is still danger.”

Damien chimed in.

Whatever happens, they will eventually have to withdraw so they can return to their home country.

Diorant remained silent as he looked at Damien, who had suddenly spoken.

Since it was a staff meeting, he was invited to attend as he was the commander of an independent unit.

‘I never thought a mere boss would be involved in a meeting like this.’

Because, considering his age and class, the current situation was so absurd.

Of course, I know about the recent battlefield achievements of the Kaion Unit.

Isn’t that obvious?

Because they were talking so noisily, it was impossible not to know.

Diorant said, looking at Damien.

“By the way, I heard that Captain Kion was late in joining us. Where did he go and what did he do to get here now?”

“I received an order to return while I was doing personal training.”

“Haa, personal training at a time like this? It seems like you have a lot of free time.”

Damian frowned slightly at Diorant’s words.

This was because Diorant’s intention in throwing words was clearly revealed.

But then.

“Is that a problem?”

“… … ?”

A middle-aged man suddenly entered the conference room.

Diorant jumped up from his seat at the sight of Heinel, with his impressive golden hair.

“Ha, Duke Heinel Fremund!”

It was a long time ago, and I saw him from a distance, but I remembered his face clearly.

No, aside from that, isn’t the sword and shield design engraved on the left chest along with the white armor the symbol of the Knights of Glory?

As Diorant quickly bowed his head in greeting, Mateus, who was next to him, stood up from his seat.

“S, I am Captain Mateus, commander of the Spanish Kingdom. It is an honor to meet you.”

colon.

Mateus is the highest rank in the military ranks of the Spanish Kingdom.

But even he looked at Heinel and paid respectful attention to him.

Heinel said, taking his hand.

“I am Duke Heinel Fremund of the Baroque Kingdom. I have also heard many rumors about General Mateus. He is said to be the last guardian of the Spanish Kingdom.”

“… … That’s just flattery.”

In fact, no one can deny that he is protecting the Spanish kingdom.

Most of the royal family is dead, and the heir to the lineage is barely two years old.

The only one who could hold on to the Spanish kingdom, which could crumble at the slightest touch, was Mateus.

Then Heinel asked.

“So what meeting were you having?”

“We were discussing the imperial forces currently located north of Sraggan.

Damien answered.

Then, after hearing the answer, Heinel sat down.

Since he had come all the way here, he was more than qualified to attend the meeting.

After Heinel joined, the meeting continued. However, it was not easy to reach a conclusion.

And the reason was simple.

Because the empire held the sword of this war.

Because they thought that only they had the power to decide whether to start or stop a war.

But then.

“Can I offer my opinion for a moment?”

“Ahem.”

At Damien’s words, Diorant coughed in vain with an uncomfortable expression.

But Heinel, who was on the other side, looked at Damian and said.

“Tell me.”

“How about we launch a preemptive strike first and catch them for sure?”

“what?”

“ah?”

Diorant frowned, and Mateus looked at Damian with a rather surprised expression.

Damien continued speaking without hesitation.

“The enemy number is approximately 10,000. Considering our military, this is a relatively small number.”

Nonetheless, there were two reasons why their advance was feared.

The biggest reason was the existence of an Auror Master named Galberon, and the second reason was that the Empire’s soldiers were quite elite.

If we simply look at the numbers, we can say that the Empire’s soldiers are far fewer in number, but if we were to confront them head-on, we would have to estimate that their strength would be more than double.

one.

“If Lord Heinel can suppress Galberon, then what’s left is an army of 10,000 men… … .”

Damian said, looking at Mateus.

“If the 20,000 troops in Sraggan and our 7,000 reinforcements are combined, we can win even in a head-on battle. However, if we divide our forces into two groups and make a surprise attack on the enemy’s flank… … .”

Damien clapped his hands together.

match!

“If the main force attacks them head-on while they are in disarray, we can completely crush them.”

Diorant frowned at Damien’s words.

“Then doesn’t that mean you’re declaring war against the Empire!”

“The war has already begun.”

“… … .”

Diorant shut his mouth tightly at Damien’s calm voice.

Damien looked at Diorant.

The reinforcement commander was spouting nonsense, but Damian could understand him.

No, that was the situation on the continent.

This means that they can defend themselves when the empire attacks them, but they ‘dare’ not to launch a preemptive strike.

‘Because the empire’s status was so high.’

And indeed, in the past life, when empires raised armies and began wars of conquest, this was the reason why small kingdoms quickly collapsed.

The primal fear of the monster called the Empire.

That fear is what made me hesitate to take the first step.

‘but…….’

If you do that, you’ll have to give everything up without being able to do anything.

Everything you have.

‘Never again… … will something like that happen again.’

Damien clenched his fists.

“Hmm… … Let’s attack the empire first.”

Heinel, who had been silently listening to the story until now, let out a small sigh.

It’s obviously a natural thing, but the reason I hesitate is probably because of the history of being oppressed by the empire up until now.

Diorant said, frowning.

“But a preemptive strike? Do you know what they are preparing!”

“They won’t be prepared. Just as we’re reluctant to attack them, they won’t expect to be attacked first.”

Maybe this battle.

This one room can change the perception of everyone on the continent.

And to the Empire too.

“We need to make them realize that if they enter someone else’s land without permission, they too can die. That way, they won’t move rashly in the future.”

“… … .”

There was nothing I could say in rebuttal.

And then.

“Ku …

“This land is not the Baroque Kingdom. Therefore, it is the Spanish Kingdom that should fight head-on. However, if they do fight… … the first surprise attack will be led by the Kion Forces.”

With that, Damian’s gaze turned to Mateus.

Then Damien said.

“General Mateus makes the decision.”

“I am…….”

At Damian’s question, Mateus’s eyes began to shake slightly.
