Chapter 241 – I Will Present a New Paradigm of War (1)
Death of Irmiri Sirzosiya.
Death of Queen Messalina.
Everyone knows how meaningless it is to dare to weigh a person’s death, but the deaths of the Viscount and the Queen had a different weight.
“Isn’t Fermaton in trouble right now?”
A huge cold wave will come to Fermaten.
No one could hide such expectations, and sure enough, it was Irmiri’s older brother, Irsenti Sirzosiya, who initiated the prelude to great chaos.
-I will punish Rouge Permaten, who killed my brother by slandering him!
Even though he could not say out loud that he would kill Permaten, Irsenti raised a large number of soldiers saying that he would punish Permaten, and without any declaration of war, he led his soldiers and entered Permaten’s territory.
It is said that it is quite common for territory wars to break out between two territories, but the fact that it was Fermaten was clearly an issue for the entire continent.
However, perhaps this was a twist of fate, the queen, who would normally have intervened in the fierce battle between the two lords, passed away, so the royal family had no time to pay attention to the Fermatons.
And even if they tried to send a mediator to calm their nerves, Irsenti had already invaded the Permaton territory with his soldiers and killed the people of the territory.
It is natural that war breaks out.
For whatever reason, the people of Sirzosiya were killed in Permaten, and it was natural that a territorial war broke out.
-We came to the Infinite Labyrinth to make a living, not to risk our lives in such a war!
-It’s okay to die while conquering the Infinite Labyrinth, but it’s not honorable to die fighting in a territory battle like this!
-If I don’t have Fermaton, I won’t starve to death. Just become an adventurer somewhere else!
Fermaten’s adventurers did not participate in the war.
-Don’t think that if you give a mercenary money, he will always participate in the war. Even mercenaries don’t participate in these meaningless wars.
-I don’t know if they give you a lot of money, but if they give you luge coins, hit them.
– I heard that over there in Sirzosiya, they spend all their money to give money? Isn’t it profitable to just make a down payment?
Fermaten’s mercenaries also did not support Permaten.
-The Magic Tower is an institution that studies magic. You cannot officially intervene in territory wars.
-It is also impossible to assist in the war. Unless there is a major crisis that could lead to the extinction of humanity, we will not use magic to kill people.
-Even if the magic tower lord gives orders, we magicians are people who must be respected as individuals. You cannot give orders carelessly in the Count of Fermaten.
Fermaten’s magic tower wizards also took a neutral stance in Permaten’s war.
A situation where no one helps Fermaten.
-Fermaton, isn’t this really going to be a big problem?
If you think about common sense, it is natural that in a battle between a count and a vassal, the count has the advantage.
But that is not the case with Permaton.
-Is the number of soldiers available in Fermaten 500?
-Fermaten is a place where ‘armed force’ is prohibited, so it must be smaller than that. It’s a count family, but there are less than 30 knights.
The kingdom was extremely wary of the Fermatons having military power, and the number of private soldiers and knights was strictly limited.
By the ‘law’ of the kingdom.
In comparison, how many troops are currently mobilized in Sirzosiya?
-Hey. I heard that 5,000 people were mobilized in Sirzosiya?
About 5,000 people or more.
I wondered how a single person could amass such a large number, but Sirzosiya mobilized all of the family’s resources.
-What? Is that why you give windows to all the elderly people who are wandering around?
-He turned around because his younger brother died.
-Is it still possible to secure military funds this quickly?
-Sirjosiya has been receiving the support of the kingdom since long ago, and has been used as a spear and shield that can be used immediately when the Fermaten rebels. Something like that.
-That’s true, but from what I heard, he put his family’s fate at risk to form an army! Even if we win, the Viscounty of Sirzosiya will disappear!
Really all the resources.
Risking the fate of his noble family, Irsenti drew his sword to avenge his younger brother.
-Ugh, risking everything for the noble family to fight Fermaton just because his younger brother his his died his might be a bit appealing.
-Isn’t that right? Don’t they say that the younger brother, who is said to have died, died because he messed with the count’s belongings? There is a story about a succubus and a siren!
-What? Oh, no way. Kill a noble just for messing with those demon beasts?
Apparently, even the people of Permaten are leaning towards Irsenti in terms of sympathy.
-It would be troublesome if Permaten was left behind for no reason.
People just hope that Rouge Permaten doesn’t die.
It’s not because he’s a count.
-Rugi Permaten, you don’t have any children yet?
Because he is the only Fermaten who has no children.
-Then shouldn’t we kill Rouge Permaten?
-You idiot. There have always been stories that come out when the Fermatons cheat.
-Oh, that?
If there is a person among the Fermatons who dares to go on a wild rampage.
-You mean you can cut off the limbs, leave only the sexual function, and kill the child as soon as it is born?
-Yes.
It is enough to raise those who inherit the blood of Fermaten to be for the ‘great cause’ from a young age.
* * *
Pooh wow.
The trumpet horn resonates loudly.
While the soldiers and ‘workers’ who were in full swing preparing for war were heading out, I reviewed the strategy by moving the flag around on the map of where Viscount Sirzosiya’s soldiers would face.
“There is a huge shortage of troops. Is this how much money was used to hire them?”
“I’m sorry, Your Excellency, Count.”
Lambert, the person in charge of this battle, bowed his head and apologized to me.
“It was my fault. Public opinion got worse because I executed the execution too harshly.”
“No. I was the one who gave you instructions. If there is any responsibility, it is mine.”
“Your Excellency the Count…”
Lambert, who looks at me with touching eyes, honestly feels a bit burdensome, but I am truly grateful to him right now.
“And you volunteered to go to war yourself to fulfill your responsibilities. That alone is of great help to me.”
Thanks to Lambert volunteering to be the commander-in-chief of the field, I am a little selfish, but I do not have to mobilize all my women directly for the war.
“Selika or Joanna will be of great help.”
Of course, they sent support rather than support at the bare minimum.
When it comes to the territory battle, Joanna, who is more skilled than a battle in the infinite labyrinth, is willing to lend her wisdom, and Celica is now waiting for the enemy to arrive quickly.
“Keep in mind. We must minimize damage to our allies and annihilate the enemy.”
“I will keep this in mind and keep it in mind.” But I don’t think much blood will be shed from our allies.”
Lambert smiled bitterly.
“A groundbreaking tactic derived from the Count’s excellent brain. With that alone, we could possibly wipe out all of our enemies without putting a drop of blood on our hands.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
The number of human soldiers that can be mobilized is limited, but the ‘demons’ can use the number they have currently captured as slaves.
“If you use the power of the two demons, the Succubus and the Siren, properly, there is nothing you can’t do to stop them. I will take full responsibility for mobilizing the demons into the war, so you can only think about victory.”
“Can’t we think about it after victory?”
Lambert bowed his head to me with the loyal attitude of a knight.
“If you win this battle, give me Viscount Irsenti Sirzosiya.”
“Ask? Are you saying you want to make me a slave?”
“Ah, what I meant was that I would send him to the same place as my younger brother.”
“Good.”
In times like this, they are truly trustworthy.
Although it is quite absurd to say that he is a trustworthy gay knight, it is difficult to say anything since this clearly shows his true ability.
“Lord Lambert. I feel a little nervous about approaching you, but I just want to pat you on the shoulder.”
“It’s an honor just to say the words. Really, his son has come to this extent…”
“Stop. Let’s not talk about that.”
I blocked out what Lambert was saying so as not to make me feel upset.
“If I had to ask you one thing, kill the enemies mercilessly, but capture everyone you can as prisoners. The key to this battle’s strategy is to capture the enemies, but you never know.”
“What should women do?”
“We will capture the women and the old man as prisoners and make them our permanent residents. They will not be able to live within the castle, but will form a residence near the water park over there and make them live nearby.”
“Then… What about men?”
“Do whatever you want.”
“…Hehe.”
Lambert finished his appetite, but then he realized again that he was in front of me and his expression changed.
“I’m sorry, Count.”
“It’s okay. It’s very advisable to control your facial expression like that in front of me.”
The changing Lord Lambert is very trustworthy.
“If you try to disgrace Fermatten in the kingdom later, if it happens that you capture the crown prince, I will give you the crown prince.”
“…”
Ah.
Is this a bit over the line?
“What if. What if. Could it be that the royal family wants to attack our Fermatons? Haha.”
“Hey, Lambert.”
Lambert shouted, saluting me with the correct posture.
“I will pierce through with this spear all the men who have their eyes set on the Count’s women!!”
“Okay. Then go over there first.”
Wooooo.
“Please clearly show Irsenti Sirzosiya the power of ‘Fermaten’s Golden Spear’.”
The enemy has approached the operation area.
