"Okay!　Now we're going to fight back!　We will crush the cathedral army!"

　He stands up and shouts.

"Listen up!　Now we're going in with the whole army. We will cross the river and attack the cathedral army!　Leave the small lords who are just trying to make up the numbers alone!"

　At the sound of his voice, the air around them changes.

　Raviara came to them, her eyes bright.

"So you've come at last!　The opportunity Master Arsrod has been waiting for!　I'm tired of waiting!"

　I wondered how I could be on the verge of tears, but then I saw the looks on the faces of the others.

　They all knew in their hearts and bodies that when I decided to attack, I could win.

　So I was relieved to believe that I could win this time, too.

　That decision is not a mistake. I'm going to prove that I'm not wrong.

"This battle will now turn to our advantage. The headwind is now a tailwind!　Still, attack with extreme caution. They're the biggest fish around!"

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

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

　The screams shook my eardrums.

"Master Arsrod, I have a question!"

　Raviara comes out in front of me.

"If the high priest is in the camp, what should I do?"

　Priests are priests, so on the surface they are not soldiers. A military commander who is ordained only in form can only be considered a military man, but a high priest is definitely a clergyman.

　By nature, they are non-combatants and are not supposed to be killed.

Raviara, even though he is a member of the cathedral's army, High Priest Camito would not be in a place that reeks of death. He is a high priest recognized by the state, and he will be praying for the victory of his army in the Cathedral of Orszent. He would not have come out here so casually.

　As a matter of fact, I had not been able to confirm whether the high priest was there or not. The detailed deployment map of the enemy forces that Mistletoe had brought with him did not have the High Priest's name on it.

　So, there would be no problem if we went this way.

"So, there should be no high priest in this area. If any of them are dressed as priests, slay them without mercy."

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

　I could feel the morale of my allies rising.

"Such a man is no priest!　The general is trying to deceive us!　Even if someone calls himself a high priest, you may take his head!"

"Understood!　Raviara, you are right!

　Laviala answers in a loud voice. She runs away from me.

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

　Okay, I've got to get out of here.

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

　--Mm!　Delightful!　Very funny!

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

　Oda Nobunaga was howling.

　--At one time I wondered what would happen, but if I can cut down those d*mn monks, I can endure all those hard days!　Cut it down!　Cut it down!　Cut it down!

　Sorry to interrupt your excitement, but 80% of you don't think the high priest is coming. That was just a ploy to get people excited.

　Let's see what happens if the high priest really dies. At the very least, the situation will be completely unresolved. That could be good for me or it could be bad.

　If the Cathedral of the Orcients does not unite, I win, and if they rally to kill me, I lose. They'll probably try to draw in other nations and lay a siege.

　Then why did you fire up the army? - I know it's a rule that a commander-in-chief almost never dies in battle.

　Even if the high priest is there, they will do their best to protect him, and he can at least run away from us anyway. Then it is better to raise the morale of our army.

　--I know the logic. We're the High King, not fools! Even so... It was hard to tell him to kill the monk's head. ....... I feel better now that you said it.

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

　No, Oda Nobunaga, my logic is that there should be no high priest in such a place ⇒ so it's okay to kill him even if he looks like a high priest. I'm not saying we should find the high priest and kill him.

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

　--It's the same thing!　I know you are on your way to destroy the monk's power!

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

　Yes, it is. Because it's unfair to say that someone so powerful is not a soldier because he's a priest. We're all equal now that we're on the battlefield.

　Just before I sent out my men, a horse came into our camp.

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

　It was Kerala!

"Excuse me from the horse! Kerala! We have completed our mission!

"I wish you would have done it a day earlier. If my life expectancy is shortened, it's your fault."

　Finally, there's room for some lighthearted banter.

"His Majesty was too eager. He's not going to demonstrate, he's really going to lead an army to fight against the cathedral's army.

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

"I guess so. I didn't expect them to appear out of the blue behind us. Are they upset?"

　Kerala shook her head and then,

"Some of the smaller lords in particular seem to be in fear, and some of them have tried to flee with their troops."

"Indeed. The smaller the land, the smaller the heart.

　How could they dare to point a bow at the king when tradition is all they have? They may have been willing to fight me, a newcomer, but they never thought from the start that they would be in conflict with royal authority itself.

　So they decided that if I brought out Hasse, the war would turn in our direction.

　I don't think the people of the cathedral had any intention of going headlong against the royal power either. That's why the current line of succession must be absurd. I don't know who the commander is this time, but I would never say that it's okay to kill the king!

"Half of the enemy army is already demoralized. We'll destroy the other half. That will be our triumphant return!"

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

　I'll have to thank Hasse sincerely later. It's two birds with one stone. We can take the king's power later. I have to train myself as a regent first.
