Idols Around the World 947

Chapter 947 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (5)

The empire that issued the declaration of war had already been preparing for a long time, so they started the invasion very quickly.
As soon as Count Peyto entered the imperial family, he had an audience with Emperor Geos and began to understand how the current war situation was going.
Time was running out.

“Is that all there is to it?”
“Isn’t this a lot?”

A little exaggerated paperwork piled up like a mountain.
However, some of them did not have the right information.
Emperor Geos is ignorant of war.
The consequences of that ignorance could only be fatal now, right before the war.

“Not at all.”

In addition, the boats of nobles who had to work under the emperor were full of oil.
‘Someone will do it.’ ‘All it takes is me.’ With an irresponsible mind called, there was no way that the aristocrats who would pump oil into the boat today did their job properly.

“It’s a mess. It’s just a different way of saying the same thing, making it look like a bunch of stuff. It’s missing some really important information.”
“These bastards…!”

The emperor recited curses without hesitation.
It was an understandable situation, so she pretended not to know.

“The most important thing in war is information. You can’t do anything with just this amount of information.”
“Then what can I do?”
“We need to send more people to get the size and information of the enemy.”

Sending people to enemy lines is not a problem.
However, it was unclear how much quality information they would bring.
We need professionally trained spies…

“The noble family agreed to help! They freaked out when I told them I was raising money for the war. Ha ha! You were right.”

Since such talent did not fall from the sky, the nobles had no choice but to rip it off.
When he asked for money because he needed money for the war, the frightened nobles said that they could replace it by lending people, so they quickly began to give their people.

“Having such talent, I am confident that I have no choice but to win the war.”

Most of the nobles were pathetic and selfish, but they tended to prepare thoroughly and meticulously for their own protection.
The talents dispatched from noble families were of great help so that they could prepare for normal warfare before the start of the war.

“Aristocrats… I want to drag all of them to the battlefield by force. I’m just holding back because I don’t want to entrust the lives of precious people to those incompetent bastards.”

Emperor Geos wore Count Peyto by his side as he gnashed his teeth at the nobles.
It’s because I learned that the contents she told me would be of great help in her war.

“Isn’t there any good talent to recommend? I need to appoint an article, but as you know, there is no reliable person. They are all trash.”
“Your majesty…”

Count Peyto was taken aback when he realized that Emperor Geos’ hostility towards the nobles was greater than he had imagined.
Fortunately, he doesn’t show such a sharp attitude even to himself.

“I think it’s the first time since I lost Bianca. To meet someone I can talk to like you.”
“Can’t you talk to the nobles?”
“Yeah. All of them can’t talk! All of them are deaf and don’t listen to what people say!”

In order to win the war, nobility must go out to the battlefield no matter what.
Are only nobles who go to war important?

‘Nothing is unimportant anywhere. Neither inside nor outside.’

To keep the war going, supplies must be delivered without shortage.
Is that all?
People will continue to die, so the military must be steadily reinforced.
When the injured come out, they need treatment so that they can recover.
There must be no institution here and there that does not receive help, but the emperor was acting sensitively as if he had an allergy to the word noble.

‘If you start a war like this, it won’t last long even if you manage to survive the beginning. There’s sure to be a problem popping up somewhere, and the rest, which were already in danger, will collapse.’

What will become of the country…!
Shouldn’t I have retired?
Or should I have closed my eyes and become independent?
However, in the current situation, it was clear that it was not a good number either.

‘They intend to devour all of our Geos Empire. Then they’ll eat all the revolutionary countries that talk nonsense about being an independent country or a country for commoners.’

In the end, there is only one way to survive.
All he had to do was surrender to the Empire and seek asylum.
However, is there anyone who can easily leave the motherland just because the country is facing its end?

‘No matter how much a country is on the brink of ruin, shouldn’t it be a traitor who betrays the motherland?’

Didn’t he have a position just because he was a traitor?
What can be said if the country is perishing and they chased after profit to live?
So that’s it.
The reason why Count Peyto did not find a way to live even though he noticed that the future of the Geos Empire was not good.

‘I can do well. It is to win the war so that the country does not perish.’

If only we could win the war.
The fate of this ruined country may be delayed even a little.
Choosing to remain as a loyal knight in history instead of a traitor, she did her best to prepare for war.
But how could preparations for war end in a day or two?

“Lung, Your Majesty!!! The enemy!!! The enemy!!!!”

War broke out.
It was an aggression that was two feet faster than I thought.

⁘ ⁘ ⁘

Before the declaration of war.
I thought a lot about where to attack first in the Geos Empire.
It was clear that the Geos Empire, whose country was now in a mess, would not be able to finish preparations soon even if they declared war.
Of course, the lord who should be attacked would have to be vigilant and prepared.
However, we were confident that our troops could invade there before reinforcements were gathered.
So, the first thing was to hit the most symbolic and important strategic point of the Geos Empire.

“Are these guys really that stupid?”

Supply is a very important issue in a war.
If the supply is not properly supplied, no matter how good the army is, it will inevitably collapse.
I’m hungry, but the war freezes to death, how can I fight with all my strength?

“If you hit this place, the shortest supply route for the rest of the castles will be cut off.
“Instead, we’ll get in there and we’ll have to go undetected. If we do, the enemy will surround our forces.”

As it is the center of the supply route, the castle is inward.
If you make a mistake, you can be surrounded and eaten.

“Think about it. Do you expect us to hit here with such a risk?”
“Never would. We see no reason to risk ourselves.”

The victory in the war is with us no matter what anyone says.
Other countries may have different thoughts because they don’t know the internal situation of the Geos Empire, but at least we and the Geos Empire knew it well.
The advantage in this war was our empire.

‘Victory is already a matter of course.’

This is not a matter of being careless.
How long the Geos Empire could hold out was the main blind spot in this war, not whether it was won or lost.

“It’s already going to be a long war. Wouldn’t it be bad if we could shorten the time even a little.”
“I will obey Your Majesty’s will.”

Elite soldiers and knights are determined.
It was a risky plan, but the benefits that could be obtained when the shortest supply route was cut off were worth the high risk.
The army led by the emperor moved secretly.
However, a large army is moving.
Knowing that a war had broken out, the lord of the Geos Empire could not afford to neglect his surroundings.
But.

“Aren’t you coming our way?”
“Yes!”
“Phew~ I’m glad. I can catch my breath for now.”
“Then how do we request reinforcements?”
“It’s stupid, you should call it our side even more! Where they’re heading now will be over by the time reinforcements arrive. So, what’s their next target?”
“Sir, can we?!”
“Yes, the probability of that happening is very high. So ask for reinforcements to be sent to us unconditionally!”

Originally, it was said that the enemy within is more terrifying than the enemy outside.
The nobles of the Geos Empire were selfish and worried about their safety, so they didn’t know what was important in war.

“Oh, it’s a little late to report the enemy’s movements.”
“Yes? Why?”
“So we’re not going to send reinforcements! After we get a confirmation, we’ll inform you of the enemy’s movements.”

It would not be easy to receive reinforcements if we knew that the enemy was not targeting our territory.

“No matter what… Allies’ damage will be great.”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. They’re preparing well there too. What kind of country are we! It’s the Geos Empire. The Geos Empire! Their movements? Maybe we’re the only ones who know about it?”
“It’s definitely a large army… So you can’t know.”

The Geos Empire is a country that has experienced countless wars because of its fertile territory.

“It won’t collapse easily. There’s no way it will collapse just this much. Cancer!”

Without knowing how much their arrogance, and long-taken selfishness, might influence the outcome of the war.
The nobles, who were preoccupied with the idea that I would be fine, began to troll without hesitation.
And with the help of the nobles of the Geos Empire, the emperor’s army succeeded in piercing the heart of the enemy camp.

“Ha, they say it was captured…”
“No…”

Emperor Geos was speechless in his absurdity.

“What were the three castles doing here, so they just let this through? If we had surrounded and attacked them in reverse, wouldn’t it have been easy to win the war? Jim doesn’t know anything about strategy, but this much I think I understand, but is it wrong? Is it difficult?”

Count Peyto closed his eyes tightly.
At least if it’s a guy with a head, he’s right he should have been.

“Why didn’t the report come up even though the enemy came so close? Maybe something was missing?”
“No. They didn’t know when the Imperial army would arrive, so they kept asking for reinforcements.”

Count Peyto, who was answering the emperor’s question, suddenly remembered something, so he continued.

“Come to think of it, there were reports of suspicious movements at first glance. They said they would investigate more closely and post additional information. Could it be that these were traces left by the Empire’s troops…”

How the hell was he able to move around while hiding his attention?

‘Did I use the wizard’s power?’

There was no answer other than magic to make such a bizarre thing succeed, but there was no way that an archmage who could make such a thing possible was common.
If the enemy had such great talent, the already unfavorable war situation would turn even more harshly on the Geos Empire.
