Chapter 36 – 04. Gold House (錦衣還鄕).
“Protect my sister and defeat the enemy!!”
“Waaaaa!!”
Aran, knights, and cavalry ran out through the open gate.
Many soldiers were soaked in alcohol because of the banquet, but even in the midst of that, the 3,000 cavalrymen were fine.
“Huh. Now Aran is coming. Aran is a transcendent pervert, so wash your lower body well and wait.”
“What, what?!”
Illyana held her thumb between her index and middle fingers and showed them to the women.
“Because that’s all you guys can do now.”
Then she left an eerie grin and jumped up behind her.
Hee hee!
“Whoops. It’s not too late. Aran.”
“Sister!”
The place she landed was Aran’s horse.
He managed to land on the running horse without much shock and wrapped his arms around Aran’s waist.
“Okay, why do you have to tell me…”
“So whose horse are you riding on? If I ride, you’ll feel the pressure.”
“Me too…”
“Aren’t you my husband?”
“…”
Aran tried to say no, but ‘Then are you playing with me?’ She thought the same answer would come and she quit.
How she took it, she laughed bashfully.
“Kill all the bazaars!!!”
“Don’t let one year live!!”
Enemies came rushing in.
There were some soldiers who hesitated because of Illyana, but they were few.
“By the way, sister. Can you defeat the enemy with only these troops? Even if you can’t, it looks like there are tens of thousands.”
“It’s impossible with only this force.”
3,000 cavalry is a tremendous power, but the enemy also has about 2,000 cavalry. In addition, a similar number of archers and foot soldiers were supporting them.
“…….”
“But reinforcements will come soon.”
“Reinforcements?”
“Yes. If it was that kid I know, he would have sent an army here by now.”
“Who… Is it?”
“Juana. The enemy doesn’t know that she’s coming, but we know. There’s another 150,000 extra troops.”
“Ah…”
“The Logos would have been empty as these bitches came running, and Juana would have landed easily.
You should have noticed that.”
“I see… That’s right. Then sister is aiming for that!”
“Well, that’s it. So you don’t have to worry.”
“I wasn’t worried about anything.”
“I see.”
She patted Aran on the back and jumped up again.
“Sister?”
“I’m not going back to enemy lines!”
“Then why did you come!”
With Aran’s cry her, she landed again in the middle of the enemy lines.

“Now, did I hear that wrong…?”
“…They say that additional troops from the Vasa Kingdom have landed in Roissy. Your Highness.”
“What is that number? What is that number?”
“…”
The chancellor was speechless for a moment.
“Why is that? Come on, tell me! Fifty thousand?”
“No, Your Highness.”
“Well, 30,000? Huh… Isn’t even that very dangerous in the current situation?”
“Neither he. Your Highness.”
“Then…10,000?”
“It is said to be at least 100,000.”
“One hundred thousand? Now, did you say one hundred thousand?”
“Yes, Your Highness. An enemy army of 100,000 landed in Roishi, and the existing large army came up to Roana.”
“Ha…”
Queen Yerina tore her hair.
“Your Highness… Please strengthen your mind and body.”
“It’s solid! The current situation can’t be that way! The total number of troops in the lower peninsula is 100,000, but didn’t the enemy say they dispatched 100,000 troops as an ‘extra’?!”
“Majesty…”
“Haa…What on earth should I do…!”
“Your Highness. How would you like to request support from the Mei Empire?”
A woman with a polite impression appeared.
She was the second princess of Throdia, Ekaterina.
“…What are you doing again?”
“Your Highness. If you don’t have gums, your teeth will get cold. The Mei Empire will also be exposed to the plunder of the Vasa pirates without our Throdia. I’m sure they will send a large army.”
“…Mei Empire…”
This time I didn’t ask to go away.
Her opinion of her seemed valid.
“Your Highness! That is not the case! We must overcome the war on our own!”
“Yes, Your Highness! If you receive help from the Mei Empire, even if you overcome the war, even greater troubles may occur!”
The nobles began to argue.
“Look! Worried! Then, does that mean that the Mei Empire will do something bad to us, Throdia!”
“Isn’t that what you’re saying! No matter how much you say it’s a brotherly country, it’s not an empire that will send troops for nothing! Even though the country’s situation has been devastated by the war, how are you going to handle that!”
“Even so, overcoming the war comes first!”
Ekaterina took her word for it.
“Yes. The Mei Empire will not help without any conditions. However, Throdia is currently in a situation like a fading lantern. The enemy’s army is very large, and we cannot afford it.”
“Your Majesty! You are exaggerating! If we also gather the soldiers from the lower and upper peninsulas, there will be a good 150,000! Even though there are many enemies, if good generals and strategies support us, we will be able to fight a war. We can overcome it!”
“That’s right! Besides, aren’t they barbarians! If we, Throdia, ask for help because we can’t overcome the barbarians on the border, what will the Mei Empire look at us for? Also, if this is known, the other barbarians on the border will look down on us. Think about it, another war could happen!”
Ekaterina, hearing the nobles’ words, raised her voice a notch.
“This war broke out because we despised them as barbarians and didn’t look after them properly. They say they are barbarians and savages, so they don’t have swords? Or do they not have magic? They have proven their strength through the war of , but if they still ignore them as barbarians, a war like this will always repeat itself.
If you don’t have the strength, you have to overcome the danger by asking for help from those around you. How many thousands of people must die to protect the honor of us and the nobility?”
“However, lower…”
“Did you say 150,000? They are the people of Throdia. Ask for help from the Mei Empire, if they shed blood! Our people’s blood doesn’t flow as much as that blood! Not only that, but the overcoming of the war is even faster, and less damage from looting. It just takes a little bit of our ego.”
“However, my lord, the Mei Empire will never just help!
“Even so, isn’t it better than war? Yes, of course, if it is possible to overcome independently, I would also like it. However, the troops are inferior, and the training is also low. Wouldn’t it be okay? Overcoming the war on our own now is too complacent and only optimistically judged the situation.”
“Stop it.”
After a lengthy argument, the queen cut off her words.
“…What do you think, Prime Minister?”
Duke Illyana stepped forward slightly.
“I think what you say is right.”
“Dismissal!”
“How could that…!”
Yerina nodded her head.
“Even at leisure, Catherine seems to be right. She will send a governor to the Mei Empire.”
“Your Highness! No! Please reconsider!”
“Majesty!”
“Shut up! If so, can’t you guys step out and deal with them?! I’ll give you my full power, so go out and fight somewhere in the front line.”
“That, that’s…”
“Yeah, I can’t see the people being trampled by the hands of the Persians anymore. Even if it means borrowing the power of the Mei Empire, I have to defeat them. Not even for a single year left!”
“Majesty…”
Her various nobles her stopped her, but she pushed her to the end.
And after three days, an envoy was formed to send to the Mei Empire.
“Your Highness. I will give my life to receive His Majesty’s silver.”
“Yes. I will only trust you. No matter what happens, we must receive the support of the Mei Empire.”
“Yes. Your Highness.”
The women bowed to Yerina and stood up.
When you try to step back from the war,
“Hey hey!!! An urgent message is coming!!!”
A woman asked with an urgent expression.
The Queen’s expression also became urgent when she read the ominousness in her face.
“What’s going on?”
“Majesty…”
She cried.
At the same time, her queen’s expression her distorted.
“Hasamdo (下三道)… Is said to have fallen into the hands of the enemy!!”
“What?!”
