A month later, Linos was visited by a messenger from the Heedata Empire.

The messenger came not to the capital of Agartha, but to the residence of Rinos in the imperial capital. Moreover, it was his brother-in-law, the Duke of Vilas.

Surprised by the sudden visit, Rinos and his wives welcomed Vyrus.

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

"No, I'm sorry to have intruded upon you so suddenly."

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

No, I don't mind. What's going on?

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

"Actually, I have a secret favor to ask you."

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

"A private favor?"

At that moment, Rico, who was standing next to Linos, changed his appearance. She was clearly angry. Vilas senses this and waves his hand hurriedly.

"Sister, no!　It is not what you are imagining."

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

"I wish that were the case, but ....... It's you. You'll make the same mistake again ......"

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

"The same mistakes?"

Vilas coughs a little, as if embarrassed, when Linos shows a curious expression on his face. Rico continues to look at Vilas sharply.

Trying to change the mood, Vilas straightens his posture and turns to face Rinos and the others again.

"To tell you the truth, we have received a request for reinforcements from the Seifand Empire. Furthermore, the letter stated that they would like to request reinforcements from the Kingdom of Agartha through our country.

"The Seifand Empire?"

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

"...... your mother's family."

Without a pause, Rico opens his mouth. As if he had been waiting for her voice, Vilas took a map from his pocket and spread it out on the table.

My Heedata Empire is here. The Seifand Empire is a country on the continent across the sea to the northeast.

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

"Oh ...... this is right next to the continent where the Kingdom of Burial is located?"

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

Yes, that's right. It is located right next to Ride Island.

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

"So, the closest way to get there is from Dorga?"

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

Yes, it is. From Dolga, it takes about two weeks to reach Sand, the capital of the Safan Empire.

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

"Two weeks?　It's going to take a long time. ......"

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

"Yes. The Seyfant Empire is a big place, and the Gerard Mountains that run through this continent are over 5,000 meters high. It would take many days to cross them.

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

"High mountains or ....... So, it's going to be tough to get around. Unless they dig a tunnel through the mountain.

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

Actually, there is a tunnel.

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

"Oh, I see."

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

But it is dug by hand, so its size is limited, and a large army would suffocate if it were to enter.

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

"I see, so you can come and go, but you have to go to ......."

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

That's right.

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

So, what about sending reinforcements?

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

From the sea. The best way is to go overland from the port city of Mykal to Sand, the capital of the empire.

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

And even then it would take two weeks?

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

"Yes. ...... The currents are fast in this area, and they run from north to south. It is a long way from Dorga to Mical, and even if we kept rowing, it would take quite a long time."

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

"So how far do you want us to send reinforcements?"

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

Here. This is the Castle of Khaza, which borders the Kingdom of NONO.

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

"Oh, I've heard of the Karza Castle.

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

It was Matkal who spoke up. All eyes were on her.

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

"I have heard that it is an impregnable castle with high walls piled with stones."

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

That's right. This time, while the castle was being renovated, it was suddenly attacked by the Kingdom of NONO. Originally, the two countries had been skirmishing near the border, but recently they signed a cease-fire agreement and things have been relatively quiet. ......"

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

Why did they suddenly attack us again?

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

"The Imperials have begun renovations on this castle. They were in the process of dismantling the stone piles and piling new stones when they were attacked.

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

"Ah, they saw an opportunity. That's pretty wild, considering the ceasefire agreement. So, what's the status of the war?

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

"The Empire is holed up in the castle with an army of 1,000 men, led by Commander Heizer. The Kingdom of Nono, which surrounds the castle, is attacking with 5,000 men. The empire is sending out an army of 10,000 from the capital.

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

"...... I see. By the way, does this Karza Castle have a water supply?"

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

"Water ......?　It's a little ...... for me."

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

"That area is mountainous land. Perhaps there will be good water.

Matkal opens his mouth. She is holding her beloved son Falco in her arms, swaying slowly from side to side. Linos smiles at her and slowly looks down at the map.

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

"So, I guess this castle will hold."

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

"I'm not so sure about that. The Kingdom of Elsmo, NONO's neighbor, has sent reinforcements. Their number is about 20,000.

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

"Twenty thousand?　That's a little ......."

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

Linos folds his arms and thinks. The numbers are almost double. There were issues of equipment, morale, and skill level of the army, but in terms of numbers, the Safan Empire did not stand a chance.

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

"Yes, that is true. As Safando's letter acknowledged, there is a strong possibility that the enemy's aim is not limited to Karza Castle, and if they are not successful, they will overtake Karza Castle and close in on Sand in the Imperial City."

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

"What is the size of the Seyfant Imperial Army?"

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

If we put all our forces into it, it would be about 50,000 men.

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

"Fifty thousand, huh? That's not much to lose.

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

Yes. We think so, too. But if Karza Castle is overtaken, the Safanid Empire will suffer a heavy blow. After all, this castle is surrounded by a large granary. ....... If it is trampled by warhorses, the empire will be hard pressed.

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

"I see. Even so, 10,000 Imperial troops are on their way to help at Karza Castle. ....... The damage to the crops alone would be substantial."

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

"But if the country is lost, all will be lost. We have to do something about it. ......"

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

Rico opens his mouth with a sad expression on his face. Linos folds his arms again and thinks.

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

"So, what exactly is it that you want from me, your majesty?　If you've sent Duke Vyrus in person, does that mean you want me to give you reinforcements?"

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

"If possible, I would like your brother-in-law to work for me."

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

"Well, what do you want me to do?"

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

"Yes. I have made a very long introduction, but I would like to ask the King of Agartha to help us to defend the castle of Khazah. The Safan Empire is the largest supplier of warhorses to our nation. Our marital relations are now broken, but we still wish to maintain friendly relations with this country. So says His Majesty."

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

"So you're a force ......."

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

Linos looks at Duke Vyrus with a stunned expression. He, too, looks at Linos with an indescribable expression.

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

"Just because you call it power, doesn't mean it has to be military power, does it?"

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

"......, you say?"

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

I'd like to share my wisdom.

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

"That's a good idea. That's what Linos is all about.

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

It was Rico who opened his mouth. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and continued to speak with a cheerful expression on her face.

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

"If Heedata and Agartha's army responded to our request for reinforcements, they would be able to save the Safand Empire, but this would cause a devastation in the country, and if they were not careful, it could lead to an even bigger war. Instead, if we can settle this battle successfully by applying our wits, the damage will be minimal."

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

As Rico spoke, Linos looked up to the heavens with his arms folded. An indescribable silence fell over the place.

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

"......I understand."

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

In a manner that could neither be described as resignation nor determination, the Duke of Vilas bowed his head slowly and apologetically.

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

"I have only one request. If you have a map of the Khaza castle, I would like to see it.

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

"Yes, sir. It is probably in the Miyagi archives. I will look for it.

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

At Vyrus' words, Linos sighed heavily.
