"Let me summarize the information for now. First of all, it will be difficult to capture the capital of the country of Glugaria, which is well defended by the Wall of Atmos. Isn't that right, Ian?"

"Well, I guess so. I can't take on that wall by myself. What about Alphonse's meteor?"

"Impossible. It's too thick.

　We stop the attack on the capital for a moment to discuss.

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

　First of all, we agreed that, as a precondition, it would be futile to repeat the attack as it is.

　Then, based on this, they discuss how to move forward.

"First of all, let's establish a policy..."

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

"Policy?　If we don't settle this in the short term, reinforcements will come to this country.

"Well, yeah. I think Oliva's right. But if we're going to win this war in the short term, there's only one way to win. It's just, you know... ......"

"Do you have a way to win?　Then shouldn't we do it right away?"

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

"Well, we can't do it here alone, can we? We need the help of the Russians in the Orient."

"Mister Lassen, I presume. A hole-digger, if I remember correctly. I see. So you want to dig a hole under the wall.

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

"Yes. Maybe that way we can get to Grougalia. As long as you have a magic stone filled with magic power.

"But, is he reluctant to bring in Mr. Lassen, given the mood he is in?　If you say you know exactly how to win, I think you should do it right away. ......"

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

"Yes, but . But that means we're going to have to rely on Lassen. From now on, every time the other side's base is surrounded by walls, why don't we ask Lassen to come and help us capture it?　It's not a proper state of affairs for an army, you know?"

　Win the battle.

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

　For that reason alone, I think it is best to call up Lassen.

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

　However, I wondered if that was really the right thing to do.

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

　It would not be good to be dependent on him alone.

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

　If Lassen left the Orient and went to another country, he would never be able to use that strategy again.

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

　That's what I fear the most.

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

　Lassen has the power to neutralize the defenses of the wall.

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

　If you are going to use his power, it is better to save it for the right moment.

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

　If Lassen's power is used casually in such a place and its usefulness is known, I think Lassen will be receiving invitations from other countries for a long time to come.

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

　We don't want Lassen to be lured not only by money but also by various other things.

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

　Therefore, I did not want to show Lassen's power to the public if possible.

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

　Therefore, I insist on finding a way to win without Lassen.

"Let's turn the tables. We want to win quickly in a short term battle, and Grougalia is aiming for an endurance battle. If that's the case, why don't we make it an endurance battle that we can win?

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

"Endurance warfare, huh? Well, the situation on the battlefield is always changing, so it will not always be as we envisioned, but it would be a change of course in the opposite direction. We are not prepared for an endurance war, are we?"

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

"No, I'm fine on that point. I talked to the Eye."

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

"By Chairman Ai?　What did Chairman Ai say?"

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

"We have plenty of food thanks to our national strength and land development over the past few years. So even if we fight an endurance war, we can keep fighting for a few years. So we have Ai's approval.

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

"Hmm. I see. If Chairman Ai says so, he must be sure that we can maintain the army. But the Glugaria will receive reinforcements from more than a dozen countries. Even if they had enough food to feed the Orientals, wouldn't it be difficult for them to do so due to the difference in force?

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

"No, that's also what Ai said. The Orientals have enough food to feed their armies for a few years. But I don't think they have that kind of power. So even if reinforcements from more than a dozen countries arrive, they will not be able to feed them without starving. There is no such capacity."

"Is that true?　I see. If that's the case, then the Bulgarian nation has made a mistake in its strategy. They are relying on reinforcements, and they do not have the strength to fight an endurance war.

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

"That's what I mean. So, here's what I propose. Let's set up a base on the banks of the Gulu River. We'll build a landing place here, too, surrounded by the Wall of Atmos. And I'll arrange for food supplies to be brought there in a magic iron ship. Even if more than ten nations gather here, they won't be able to compete with the ships of the Orient on the river. And after we finish building our base, let's use our cavalry to burn food in the villages and towns of the Bulgarian lands. We must be thorough so that there will be nothing left to eat when the reinforcements from the other countries arrive.

"I agree with Alphonse's plan. No food means defeat. The warriors of Atmos know this well.

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

"Ian agrees. What about Oliva?

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

"...... understand. Then let's get ready to build a landing place for our base of operations. If the Glugaria see this, they will jump out of the water and we will be able to fight them. I think this is a good plan.

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

"Good. Then let's get to work.

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

　Thus, the battle between the Orient and the Bulgarian state turned into an endurance war.
