Chapter 283 – 29. Holy War.

“In that sense, you only need to bring a few elite people.”
“Hmm… It’s something I don’t like very much.”
“I know, right. No matter how much the danger of the electric charge is reduced, but still…”
“Because the profit will be less than that.”
Next day.
In the presence of Aran and her wives her, Seorae spoke about her war her with the Holy Maiden.
It was not just a simple reinforcement level, but the empire was planning to push the central continent, and the burden from that would be the empire, so the great kingdom had to stay still or send only a small number of elites.
Nothing too bad, of course.
Anyway, in order for the army of the castle to come to the great kingdom, it must pass through the Mei Empire (more than 80% of the eastern continent is the territory of the Mei Empire), and if it is blocked at the imperial level, the army of the castle will not reach the great kingdom.
However, since that meant that all of the spoils from the war would be passed on to the Empire, Aran’s wives, who were certain of victory, did not respond very well.
“In the first place. Aren’t you going in and out too much about being the emperor? I mean, you know the subject!!”
“Before I am the emperor, I am Aran’s lover.”
“There is no sound that this cannot do.”
“Could you shut up kid? A manipulative guy who became a lover despite being a mother.”
“Ugh… That, that… You are also a mother-in-law!”
“My mother-in-law is fine. It is acceptable.”
“Who decided that!”
Two people staring at each other and growing.
Alan wondered what to do.
The Mei Empire has already mobilized a large army of one million units, and it is said that the funds that went into it are astronomical. You can’t even say that it’s coming back now.
However, as Seorae said, sitting still and washing her hands, it was not uncommon for her to be bothered by the saintess’s actions and Terra’s words her.
‘In the first place, this war felt like a succession war….’
The words that Terrazin came and said.
The words to become a god.
If you think about it, the subject of the temple should be Aran.
Or at least when he won this war, the credit should come to Aran.
However, the empire has already made a grand campaign, so what should I do?
“How about doing this?”
Terrin offered her opinion of her.
“I hear that the Empire is raising a large army, so they are organizing additional reinforcements in the West Continent. Your Highness is blocking that.”
“How?”
“If the Mei Empire is advancing from the east to the west, Your Highness will board a ship and block the western entrance to the Central Continent. If you do that, the supply will be cut off as well. Wouldn’t it be possible to become a first-class contributor by doing this? Of course, it’s a very dangerous job, so I don’t recommend it as a subordinate.”
“Hmm.”
It sounds like it.
If the supply of troops supported by the West Continent is cut off, the burden on the castle will increase, or conflict will arise.
At that point, the ball is already clear.
In addition, if Aran, one of the subjects of the holy war, suddenly appears in the west, there is a possibility that the army of the Holy Kingdom will be divided.
If you do not divide the army and deal only with the army of the empire, you can divide the army from the Aran side and attack the Seongguk side.
Anyway, a landing operation that can be used in many ways.
Aran was tempted.
“That’s a good way. Then, can the three of us go, Duke Terrin, sister Illyana, and me?”
“Please put this cow with me.”
“Oh yeah. Even two.”
“Me?”
“Except Moae.”
“Why!”
“Because it is a war.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s Aran, but it’s a place where you can never take Theodora, who has a low level, or Moae, who has no level at all.
“Theodora, please defend the country with her mother.”
“Yes. Majesty.”
“Tsk. Are you talking about sleeping in the open house?”
“You’re not feeling well.”
She said so, but Cornelia is her deterrent to Juana.
I bet he would n’t do anything crazy like punching her in the back when Cornelia was there.
“Then, when I push with troops, you mean that you will go into diversion as an amphibious operation?”
“Yes. I think that’s a good idea.”
“Ok, fine. Then, what do you think the size of the army is?”
“Unlike the Empire, we only have 50,000 troops to mobilize. Scrape off even that…”
Feeling like something is messed up.
Compared to the three million of the Empire, Oman was too shabby.
“You mean it’s because you’ve gathered even the nobles?”
“Oh, I didn’t include that. The royal army is arrogant.”
“Then no. You don’t know what the nobles will do, so let the nobles come first. Like 3 to 2? Of course, the noble army is 3.”
“Then if you set the ball up, you have to take it off as much.”
“I’m going to die before I build it, so I have something to give you.”
“Yes?”
Seorae smiled whitely.
“That is the purpose of war itself. The nobles accumulate as much credit as possible through war, and the kings reduce the power of the nobles as much as possible through war. The original structure is like that.”
“Well, if you want to tell me, it doesn’t matter if you just break them all down with your lower leg.”
“I think it’s possible if it’s Aran.”
“It’s something that happens when we check each other, so if there’s nothing to check, that’s fine.”
“….”
Was it not enough to massacre the great nobility?
Apparently, Seorae intends to kill a lot of nobles this time as well.
“Ah… Anyway, I’ll launch an amphibious assault and cut their backs. When the conditions are right, we will divide our forces to attack the Holy Kingdom, so if we do well, we will be able to press on both sides. “
“It’s best if the Goryeo people stay still. It’s a pity.”
“It can’t be. If the Central Continent goes to Mei, there won’t be anything that bothers them.”
Aran and the women discussed the plan, and the conversation ended with the signing of the alliance oath between the Mei Empire and the Habsburg Empire.

After meeting with her ladies, Aran went straight to Al Gray Magic Tower.
Recently, the size has been greatly expanded, and now it has expanded its scope not only to scientific weapons, but also to ships and buildings, and has been transformed into a company with enormous capital and technology in connection with the Ramias Merchant.
“I need a boat. One suitable for transportation.”
An amphibious operation requires a huge number of fleets.
Fortunately, because of Moae’s whim, 100 battleships with a capacity of 1,000 sailors were being built, but these were only for combat, and transport ships were needed.
“Hmm… It’s transport… Then the size of the ship must be very large. Or do you increase the number too much?”
“Right.”
“But all shipyards in Korea have gone into the construction of battleships… There are no conditions.”
“Grunt….”
“Or how about temporarily converting the 50 battleships currently under construction into transports? The structure doesn’t change much, only the people change a little bit. Then we can transport about 25,000 people. She will pull it and her existing ships together and it will work out somehow.”
“Hmm… So how long will it all take?”
“No matter how fast, it will take six months.”
“… Isn’t it too late?”
“You’re trying to use it for the temple anyway, right? It will take that much time to hit properly. If it’s a really big army, it would take a year to cross the Mei Empire.”
“That, does it take that long?”
“It is the military. I don’t know if it’s a blowout.”
“That’s amazing… Then the Mei Empire has to maintain the number of four million for over a year, right?”
“Yes. If you’re going to go on an expedition properly, you’ll have to keep it for another 2-3 years. Even the world’s Mei Empire has no choice but to run into trouble.”
“….”
I realized the greatness of the empire all over again.
And I was worried too.
If the war period is prolonged like this, I wonder if it will go bankrupt….
“Then do it for now. And I think we need to mass-produce those new guns too, can you do that?”
“Would you like to use it?”
“Yes. To recruit about 10,000 people from North Throdia and Athens.”
“10,000 sets… First of all, it’s 1 billion mesos, and if you include enough ammunition and maintenance costs, it will cost about 5 billion mesos.”
“It’s money, really. Why are they all so expensive?”
“… You can’t help but express your dissatisfaction. So is the cost. Instead, you can use it like a bow even if your proficiency is low, so it will be useful.”
“Okay. Then the canvas…”
“A canvas is about 20 million mesos. If there are 10,000 people, wouldn’t it be appropriate to have 50 to 100?”
“In the end, it means that another 1 billion mesos will go in.”
“Hehe. Yes.”
“Okay. I’ll pay through Terrine, so prepare it.”
“Yes. Now it’s a war in earnest.”
“I will be very busy in the future.”
