"That's one way to look at it. But I thought it would be a problem if the quality of the men was lowered by mixing them with the unwilling ones. The enemy lords don't have a large army to fight with. The north is famous for its strong horses. They will charge at us with their horses.

"And, Noen, it's not a war council to discuss things that have already passed. It's pointless. Think of what you can do in this situation. Think about how you can defeat Sightred, the Machar frontier."

　There is a river flowing between our army and the enemy army. It is not a big river, but it flows very fast. The big point is whether to cross this river at once first or not, or to wait and see.

　I let them talk for a test, but their opinions were not evenly divided. Some were too idealistic, saying that we should wait because the enemy is strong, or that we are on an expedition, so what's the use of waiting?

"I think we should wait here. If we build a simple fence and wait for them, we can break the cavalry's momentum.

"Even if you break the momentum a little, aren't you still being attacked at that point?　Where do you turn to attack?　If they're attacking you that much, it's over anyway, isn't it?"

　For Laviala, a bowman, it is hard to be happy about a weapon that might take away his job.

　For a martial artist like Olks, it seems to be viewed with skepticism. It is true that this is a weapon that has yet to see any real action on the battlefield. It's simply that I haven't been in any major battles.

"No, Mr. Olks, it's quite terrifying."

　This greatly reduces their offensive power and weakens them. Moreover, since many of the cavalrymen are the enemy's vassals, they can inflict enough damage to make it impossible to continue the battle if they succeed.

　This is a gun battle, that's for sure.
