　Kotaro Fuuma, the head of the Intelligence Corps, is also a member of the executive, but he is unable to participate in this military council because he is always engaged in espionage activities. He has already begun to work on the battlefield with his subordinate Hanzo.

"As you may know, the Demon King Zagam in the south summoned a hero from another world by soul-summoning, gave him full power, and quickly swallowed up the surrounding powers.

"What was the name of the summoned hero?"

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

　Hijikata Toshizo asked, throwing his feet up on the desk.

"He is a hero of a country called Mongolia in another world. He is the son of Genghis Khan, the king who once swept the Eurasian continent and created the largest empire in history.

"I know Genghis Khan. I heard that Minamoto no Yoshitsune was defeated by his brother Yoritomo and went to the continent to become the king of the steppe.

That's a myth.

　I assure you.

"It is said as if it is common knowledge in Japan, but be careful, there is no such fact at all. It is not good to claim the origin of anything.

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

　Before the war, in order to justify the Mongolian rule, the Japanese government spread a rumor that the hero Genghis Khan was Minamoto no Yoshitsune himself. Even now, after the war, they still believe in this false rumor.

　It is lamentable that many people still believe this false rumor after the war.

　Genghis Khan's father's name and grandmother's name have been handed down, but it is not known when he was born.

　He was, without doubt, a great hero created by the people of the steppes.

Now, I'm getting off track here, but you can assume that Juchi, the son of this great hero, is the enemy this time.

And Zagamu, the Demon King?

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

"I'm sorry to say this, but Zagam is a third-rate fighter. He is nothing to be afraid of. Of course, he's not to be underestimated.

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

So that's how much worse Juti is?

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

"That's right. His achievements may not match those of his father, Genghis Khan, but he lives up to his name, the son of the blue wolf."

　Juci, the eldest son of the great hero Genghis Khan.

　He is a legitimate son born to Genghis Khan's first wife.

　All of them are highly respected as great generals and contributed greatly to their father's success.

　Among them, Juchi played an outstanding role in the unification of the Mongolian Plains, following his father's lead from his youth.

　He was always in the front line of the Mongol army, whether he was attacking the same nomadic people called Kim in the east or Central Asia in the west, and he always demonstrated his valor.

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

　For his achievements, Juchi was granted vast territories in the western part of Asia and became a part of the Mongol Empire.

　The conglomerate he built (Urs) eventually came to be known as the Kipchak Khanate, a story that will trouble students of world history, but that's another story.

　For now, all you need to remember is that he was the founder of a huge nation in Central Asia.

"A hero with such an achievement is in command of the entire army. We should be more wary of him than the Demon Lord himself."

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

"That makes sense. In fact, our new territory was cut off the moment this Juchi took command.

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

"It all happened so fast. Zagamu's army was originally a cavalry force, which was probably convenient for the Demon King, Juchi.

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

　About that," Eve reads out the report.

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

"It seems that Zagamu's army summoned a large number of horses from the materials in the castle, and also summoned centaurs and others.

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

"I see. So they organized a task force of horses only.

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

It seems so.

The Mongolian army was not very numerous. They were mainly composed of horses, and they were able to use their mobility to constantly concentrate their forces, and they excelled at one-sided attacks with their mounted archers.

"In fact, Zagam's army captured villages and towns on the plains.

"The Mongols were not so good at siege warfare. If they concentrated their strength on horses, then they would have been even more so."

　Hijikata called out to him. He questioned him.

"I heard that the genius military commander has been traumatized by the battle.

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

"He should be fine. It seems that the only thing that traumatizes Kongmyou-dono is field battles. I have heard from Kotaro that he is good at defensive battles.

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

What's this Kotaro Fuuma doing? I haven't seen him.

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

I'm gathering information. He's the one who brought us the information about the centaurs.

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

"Thank you, but I don't want to be told only how powerful the enemy is. I also want to know their weaknesses.

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

"Of course they have weaknesses. Kotaro said that when Juchi was summoned, he and Zagamu's men cut off Zagamu's arm.

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

"What, is that true? So you're saying that Juchi doesn't have faith in Zagam?"

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

They say a hero chooses the master he will serve, so that's where he will be taken advantage of.

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

"Yes, that's true. But this Juchi guy is a ball of crazy. I've never heard of him slaying the one who summoned him.

　I was silent because I remembered my encounter with Hijikata Toshizo.

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

　When I summoned him, he turned his blade against me, testing my mettle.

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

　I thought that it was wrong for such a man to speak of me as if I were someone else, but I decided not to go into it.

　I looked at Eve lightly and she seemed to have noticed it and her mouth relaxed.

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

　I smile and tell everyone it is time to leave.

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

　We go to the Ashtaroth garrison and I give a short speech to boost their morale.

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

"We are going to fight a demon king who mainly uses cavalry. We have more infantry here, but there is nothing to fear. We have already taken measures against the cavalry.

　He then introduces a squad of trolls he has just created.

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

　They all had long spears nearly five meters long.

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

　Seeing this, the soldiers, both demon and human, grew confident that they could withstand a cavalry charge.

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

　Seeing this, the commanders felt good, but only Godreve, the chief of the dwarves, had a gloomy look on his face.

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

"Long spearmen are good against mounted assaults, but they are not a good match for a troop that mainly uses mounted fire. They will be attacked unilaterally."

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

　I reply in a whisper.

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

"I understand your concern, Mr. Gottlieb. But don't worry. I have a plan.

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

　I assured him, but Godreve did not ask me what I had in mind.

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

　I was disappointed because he was the only one I wanted to talk to.

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

　When I asked him why he had not asked me, Godreve's wrinkled face turned into a grimace.

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

"Because what you see before you is the greatest plotter of all time. I will make sure that the plan will succeed. I'll be watching from the rear to see how he pulls it off.

　He says that his favorite pastime these days is to gather his engineers and watch me command them over a drink.

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

　Well, if it's fun, so be it.

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

　I had to make sure that Gottlieb would be able to see my clever little maneuver.

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

　I'll tell the whole army to get ready.

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

　The commanders, the commanders, the soldiers, all shouted with rage.

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

　As long as I could hear their voices echoing from the depths of my gut, I would not be afraid of Juchi, even though he was a hero.

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

　I thought so.
