"But can you do that kind of maneuvering, Leon?　I know you have people who can use [telepathy] scattered all over the place, but can you mess with the southernmost kingdom of Resolute?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not impossible, but it might be difficult. So I think I'll head south as well."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"South?　Leon?　Does that mean you're going to move Fontana's army?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. But for that, the cooperation of Mr. Ars is indispensable.

　Encourage Rion's wife's family to replace the main family of the Risortes.

　It is good that you have come to such a policy, but, of course, I can't do such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only Rion among the Fontana would be able to do such a thing.

　So I asked Rion about it, and he said he is going to head south.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, Rion is not going alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is going to move Fontana's army to go to the Kingdom of Resolute.

　And for that I need to create a transporter magic circle and give permission to Fontana's army to use it.

　Otherwise, it would take months just to reach Reed's territory.

"Well, I don't know about that. It's not like the Reeds have asked for reinforcements from Fontana's army, so it's not like we can just take them with us. Kyle would be in trouble if the Kingdom of Fontana claims ownership of his lands now that he has joined this battle, wouldn't he?"

"Then how about making another arrangement?　Let's decide now what we will do if we send the Fontana army. Yes, we should. Roughly speaking, the Reeds will definitely be granted the territory of Reinsatz, the King's Landing, and the carved-out territory of the nobles in the northern part of King's Landing. But as for the Kingdom of Risorthe, I would like you to leave it to the Kingdom of Fontana. What do you think?"

"Well, that means that the territory that we took back after driving out the Royal Army of Rysolte that cut off the Reinsatz territory is also Reed territory, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That is correct.

"Hmm. Well, I guess Kyle would approve of that, wouldn't he?　Rion can contact Kyle and let him know about this. If Kyle agrees to it, I don't have a problem with it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I'll let them know right away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rion's argument goes like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Fontana's army is taken to the city of Richard in Reed's territory by means of a transporter magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, Rion will take the lead in planning something against the Kingdom of Resolute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This Fontana army is not sent as reinforcements at the request of the Reed family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, they will not interfere in the ownership of the lands that the Reed family has carved out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, they will be left to their own devices after the Royal Army of Resolute is driven out of the territory of Reinsatz.

　In short, they probably want to tell us not to go into the Kingdom of Resolute itself with the momentum that I and my brother Byte won against the Royal Army of Resolute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess they don't want us to make any uncertain moves when we are going to make Rion's wife's family happy through backstage maneuvering.

"I heard back from Kyle. He has graciously agreed to do so. Shall we head over there now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Soon?　Can you move Fontana's army that quickly?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, Mr. Ars. After hearing that radio broadcast, they are all very disappointed that they haven't been able to join the battlefield. They are looking for a place to play an active role.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean he's motivated. Well, let me make sure I don't get too carried away in Richard's town."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry. The discipline of Fontana's army is the same as it was when Ars was general. Then, please get ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. Let's go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, after discussing with Rion, I decided to set up a magic circle to connect the city of Fontana and the city of Richard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Using the transfer magic circle, an 80,000-strong Fontana army led by General Pecha von Einrad will move to the south.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a large number for the Fontana army as a whole.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We now know how serious Leon is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps Rion is thinking of going as far as he can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle has expanded his influence by defeating the King's Landing allied forces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if he continues at this rate, he may possibly win over the Reinsatz family, the supreme aristocrat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he does so, his influence will become tremendous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They may gain control over a territory that rivals or even exceeds that of the monarch, the House of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they can stabilize their domain, there will probably be no power that can compete with the House of Reed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, with the exception of the Royal City area, its northern nobles, and the House of Reinsatz, the only major powers still in existence are the Kingdom of Risolute in the south and the House of Memento in the east.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may be that they do not want the Reeds to take over that area as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, Rion has an intention to control the Kingdom of Resolute indirectly, and then the Memento family in the east.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, it is a hidden intention to bring almost all the noble families under the influence of the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, with Rion's decision, the Kingdom of Fontana was on the way to be transformed into a country that includes all the noble houses.
