　I was on a boat trip, but Yucca was next to me. We were sitting on the bed together. When the ship is rocking a lot, it is easier to lie down on the bed immediately, even if you are drunk.

　She must have been a little girl who had never been on a boat that long, but she was very good at getting drunk. Is this the blood of the family of the lord who holds the port?

　I hugged Yucca's shoulder and said.

"Is that what Yucca had in mind?"

No, that's what your father told me when we talked together. He told me that there are many things that I cannot read by myself because there will be an unprecedentedly big battle.

　That's why I took Yucca with me, well, that's part of the reason.

　Of course I'm going to win. I've prepared for that. But that doesn't mean that the enemy will come in with no plan, and the victory or defeat can be reversed by unexpected circumstances.

　If you open the history of war, you will find many stories of how a small force miraculously defeated the enemy.

　We still don't know what will happen. And moreover, those who have taken my side may be killed in the process. One of Odanobunaga's brothers was killed by the enemy while serving. Many of my chief vassals were killed in battle. There is no unification project without damage.

　--You are being very sentimental and pessimistic.

　Oda Nobunaga, it's better to think a little bit bad about these things. It's not the general's way to act only on wishful thinking.

　--Well... In the end, you won't know until you try. And a High King is a lonely man. You've grown accustomed to it. It's a sign of growth. You're one step away from being king.

　Two weeks after I returned to Maust, a messenger from the kingdom arrived.

"I tell you... The army of the conquered West led by His Majesty will be attacked by the bandit army of Viscount Karku Force Moresy and will have to retreat without a fight. ....... If this situation continues, the bandit army will gain momentum. I would like to ask you to replace the current army of the Conqueror of the West and take command of it. ......

　The messenger explained with a tearful expression on his face. I could not tell whether this was an act or whether he had been cornered to such an extent.

　I intensify the word "however".

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

This is a matter of urgency. I, Althrod Naybul the Regent, will command all the troops you have assembled as Grand Commander-in-Chief. We do not have time to ask for Your Majesty's decree. Is that correct?

　The messenger flinched.

　He did not have the authority to grant such a request freely.

　On the other hand, it would be absolutely unacceptable for conditions to become so complicated that I would not send out my troops. That would leave no place for the messenger to return to.

"Yes. In an emergency situation, I think that would be unavoidable. ....... The only person who can lead a large army in our country anymore is the Regent. ......"

　Since the province of Olbia is already completely under my control, we will pass through the roads of Olbia. The area is mountainous and the roads are not well maintained due to the dominance of small forces, but for this day, I had the roads made to function as roads.

　When I set up my position to confront Viscount Kark, Hasse had already retreated, and there was only one member of the royal family acting as his deputy. He was a man with the rank of marquis, but it was only a formality.

"Thank you for your assistance. ....... The enemy has switched from a siege to a policy of intermittent offensives to inflict blows on us. The morale of the Seishi army has been lowered by these attacks, and there is a fear of a total collapse, so after a meeting, we have decided not to ask the Regent to come.

　From his slumped shoulders, it was obvious that he was not accustomed to the battlefield. It must be hard for this man to play a role that is so detrimental to him.

"First we wait. Then, when the enemy attacks us again, we will go in and take them out in one fell swoop. If there is no problem, we will go straight up to the enemy's castle.

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

"By the way, why do you think so?"

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

"The fact that the enemy, who had been fighting a siege, has turned to attacking from outside the castle is probably a sign that their rations are running low. It seems that they want to drive back the enemy army as soon as possible. If the soldiers are poorly nourished, there should be no problem if they are well prepared and repelled.

"As I said, Kerala is very good. I agree with you.
