　Rumi smiles with a serene expression on his face.

　Rumi's face shows a hint of melancholy.

　A direct confrontation with Hasse would be inevitable at this rate. Rumi does not hate his brother with all his heart. He would rather not even think of taking his own life.

"Your Majesty, we must be more cautious than ever from this point on. We must show our people that we are the rightful heirs of the kingdom. First, look at the map."

"Right now, the area of influence between our side and the enemy's side is about 50-50, except for the Giant Islands. However, now that I have returned to Yagmouri Castle, I believe that the number of those who are with us or want to be with us has increased.

　The Tarsha has been working hard. Thanks to her, I was able to devote my energy to the attack on the Giant Island Division.

　If Tarsha had been on Hasse's side, the situation would have been very different. The defense of the castle of Maust and the surrounding area would be inadequate.

　I could not afford to build Yagmouri Castle in the first place. This castle would have only increased Hasse's doubts and fears.

"Let's send troops to the castle of Maust at once!　The castle of Maust must still be surrounded by the enemy!　Only by recapturing Mr. Arsrod's castle will we be able to convey our superiority!"

　That's a fair point. Besides, Serafina and my wives are still in the castle of Maust. For the safety of his wives, he should get rid of all enemies in his territory.

　However, this is a forum for diverse opinions. Other ideas are welcome.

"If we add the troops we have now in Yagmouri Castle to the ones we can recruit, we can bring down King's Landing. It is risky, but we can force the enemy to surrender in a short time.

　I thought the idea was probably in line with Rumi's sentiments.

　If Hasse surrendered, the war would end without a direct attack on the capital. Fewer casualties would be required, and the city would remain in good shape.

　The only thing left to do is to take Hasse into custody, and the war will be over. The Kingdom of Saawil will be united again.

　Hasse can officially abdicate and live out the rest of his days somewhere suitable."

　When I asked them which they preferred, their opinions were roughly split 50-50.

　They all had a point. It is right that we should already be able to bring Hasse to his knees in the capital, and I understand that we should first secure the castle of Maust if we want to show that we control the whole country.

　Oda Nobunaga asks me a question.

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

　--To be clear, I have nothing more to say. You decide. After all, I died before I got here!　Now it's up to you to show us your own way to unite the world. I will see to it that you do.

　But I'm sure you have a plan or two of your own. I'm sure you'd say something like, "This is what I'll do at this time.

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

　--I have a plan... but I won't tell you. I'm an inexperienced man... so to speak. I could not conquer not only Kyushu but also Chugoku and Shikoku. I am unqualified, so to speak.

　It's rather creepy that you should be so humble.

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

　--And if I told you, you'd do as you please without listening to me.

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

　That's true. I've crossed some dangerous paths that you wouldn't believe. I'm a hot-blooded man by nature.

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

　--So do as you please from now on and make your own way in the world. Whatever path you choose will be the right one. You will not fall unless you rebel!

　I think the battle was decided when this castle of Yagmouri didn't fall. Historians of the future will say that the castle's fortitude was a turning point in history.
