「Well… So you understood that much huh.」
Today is the first Baron Lurvishe made a smile on his face.
「Ahh, yes that right isn’t it. Of course you assume the needed amount to get Elucie to fall, would be about two thousand people or so right. That said, you’re going to assault it with about three thousand instead, right. I mean that is the amount you should be sending.」
「Hahahaha, for you to say it that magnificently, I can’t deceive you now can I. Ah yes, that is exactly that, it’s certainly as you say. It isn’t worth it to send three thousand soldiers. But even so, the Empire will do it.」
He looks at me with a glint in his eye.
「This a matter of pride, as it stands now to lose to a bunch of savages is something I can’t forgive. When spring comes, I will spearhead three thousand troops and assault Elucie.」
Those words would be the truth.
The feeling behind those eyes and that guy’s demeanor and presences, don’t give me a sense that he is not lying.
「Of course, when the time comes you will have countermeasures for our bows, right. The front guard is going to be a large amount of expendable mercenaries, along with burning down the forest to do a multi-directional assault. Or perhaps what you were thinking beforehand was you will send a few hundred lightweight soldiers as ambushers from the opposite direction?」
「wha~, you, why.」
The Empire is just a bunch of morons, there were several people who returned alive with two or three arrows, with that it wouldn’t be weird for them to think up countermeasures.
「Until then, Elucie doesn’t take the Empire lightly you know. And also the one who made the bows was me. So, it’s not like I wouldn’t know its own weakness right? And then, knowing that you would think that I needed to have a countermeasure after that countermeasure ready right? I’ll give you a warning, if for example your soldiers number in the thousands and you assault Elucie. Even with your countermeasures, it’s still going to end up like the last time you know. If you increase the amount of people the damage that will be inflicted will also get higher, right. 」
