Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 564
[564Tue] Fair and fair
"Fortunately, there are no major problems with the upper part so far. It is no exaggeration to say that it is rather smooth.."
It's been a long time since a positive statement came from Saint Deoni, but I wasn't surprised..
Because it actually happened.
"The rumor that we suffered almost no personnel losses while reaching Raitor spread faster than expected, and it was said that more cities and villages turned against the Demon King's army and sided with the church than previously reported. Thanks to this, the march itself seems to have been easy.."
When I was in Raitor, it was not easy to contact spies sent by the kingdom or empire, but as soon as I came to Sor, I could feel detailed information coming and going at a rapid pace..
This probably means that we have come up a lot and the united front has come down a lot. Although there was a lot of work left to be done, I realized that something big was coming to an end, so I pointed to the areas of the demons that were almost occupied by our troops and asked..
"Are there any problems like discord with the locals??"
"Unfortunately, there is a problem. There wasn't much noise during the battle, but it seemed like the support troops sent by other inland kingdoms were causing trouble as the empire's troops were deployed in earnest. The good news among the misfortunes is that they were sent to the Eastern Front in greater numbers than to Levien...."
It is said that support troops like hyenas also flowed into Levien as they had to keep garrisons in the middle rather than simply fighting and pushing all the way to Sor..
I remember that even those I briefly encountered at the Imperial Academy did not consider the threat of demons as a big deal and regarded them as beasts or monsters. If that atmosphere still hasn't changed, you'll be in trouble in many ways..
"According to the original plan, Thor's troops should have remained the same and only the church's troops should have been moved to hasten the rendezvous with the Margrave Levien, but the advance was faster than planned, so the policy was changed to simply tighten the surroundings of Thor. The location is not bad, so if you make a good turn on the Eastern Front,..."
Instead of sacrificing a bit of the front line that was pushed too far, you will be able to bring the nearby demon spirits into a stable zone..
The area drawn by the saintly woman's finger, which moved greatly while saying this, was far forward enough to turn the front line that had been fixed for such a long time into the rear..
"The fortress city of Sor was built with the goal of serving as one of the last lines of defense to stop the human army coming down through the side road called Levien. On the other hand, it also means that just blocking this place will serve as a basis for safely securing the existing demon territory between Levien and Thor.."
"But doesn’t that mean that access to the Demon Territory is also smoother? Wouldn’t it be advantageous for us to hasten our joining while the enemy is not yet active??"
Even before I understood that Sor was a strategic point, I had no intention of abandoning this place. He had to do that anyway in order to completely persuade Del Sor to become his ally. And for this purpose, it would be even more important to quickly join our troops and solidify the front line..
To put it simply, Sor is like a cork blocking the mouth of a bottle. There are limited directions for access from the inside of the bottle, but access is possible in a variety of ways from the outside..
Of course, Sor was not the only place that played such a role with Levien at hand, but the rest was a problem that had to be resolved by the allies..
Here, the inside is of course Levien, and the outside is the demon spirit. No matter how hard our army is approaching from the east, cutting the front line diagonally, it is said to be the perfect position for a 180-degree attack. Otherwise, dissemination will not be easy..
"That may be true in human territory, but Thor is different.."
"yes?"
"Well, if I had known this would happen, I would have brought a separate tactical map.."
As I was looking at the saintess looking at the abbreviated map with a perplexed expression, something suddenly occurred to me..
"Wait. If it's a map, it's definitely..."
Three maps found on the corpses of the special forces that attacked the day they were traveling from Itisel on the dragon. The largest map among them, which I couldn't even dare to open, clearly had not only Itisel marked, but also the edge of the Demon Territory..
Although it was a little damaged in the process of fighting Iranorev, it is still good enough to do its job. As she began to spread the map she had taken out on the table, Saint Deoni's face began to turn with astonishment..
"Why is this...?"
"When I was at Ethisel, I was attacked by the Special Operations Unit. This is the item that was taken away at that time. I never thought I'd write it like this."
The map that depicted the entire Itisel and part of the Demon Territory, compressed as much as possible, was very large. The saintess looked at me and her map alternately with a bewildered expression on her face. She pressed her temples and chose her words for a while before nodding her head with difficulty..
"Well, it's strange to be surprised by something like this now. Anyway, this is the only way to access Sorro without using the gate.."
With a strange sense of resignation, the saint pointed out only four places..
"Could it be said to be a problem caused by the fact that the burden on the gate is less than that of the human race? Because of the ferocious monsters, it costs a lot of money to maintain roads and roads, so they do not do much maintenance except for a few trade routes between cities. So, if you send an army to attack Sor, you have to approach it from the four directions I just showed you.."
Fortunately, one of them will soon be eaten by our troops coming from the Eastern Front..
I was secretly impressed by my friend's ability, thought about it briefly, and then asked carefully..
"Then I have nothing to do here right now.?"
"......Why on earth are you bringing up such an anxious introduction??"
My trivial question somehow ended up summoning the saint's axe eyes..
◈
It occurred to him that there might be something wrong with feeling this way at the front, but Siegfried couldn't shake the feeling that the battle that continued from Levien was more pleasant than expected..
The cause is already known. The guerrilla operations carried out by Levien's flying dragon unit, the actions of the Margrave Levien who fell like a meteor and burned the entire area, the absence of corrosive bodies, and the internal strife of the enemies were not hidden just because they wanted to..
Among them, the performance of Margrave Levien's magic armor, which is said to have been deployed to the front with support from the imperial family, and her skill in using it are truly unrivaled. She is a great tool, but she is also a great wearer. Since she was a Siegfried who had already used similar items several times in the Empire, this fact touched her even more..
Of course, Siegfried's group and the army were also active. However, for ordinary soldiers who have no countermeasures against magic, Levien's fire is a natural disaster itself. Of course, the Demon Lord's army is not stupid and tries to dispel, but the calculations of the parties are so excellent that there is no sign of breaking through. Of course, the battle will become easier..
Of course, I am not tactless enough to express such personal impressions out loud..
No matter how comfortable a war is, casualties occur regardless of whether one is fighting or not. Even when thinking about my dead comrades, it was difficult to express such sentiments out loud..
The battle that has been going on like this is now slowly coming to an end..
The Demon King's army is now demoralized even before the battle begins as they have not even received proper supplies. Unlike the initial period of fierce resistance, the number of people surrendering was increasing, and the distance to their destination, the fortress city of Sor, was getting closer..
But it wasn't without problems..
"Don't talk nonsense.."
-Huh, nonsense.!?
"exactly. Before you send a complaint to your home country, stop looking for excuses for looting that doesn't work and go back to work.."
Could it be Siegfried's illusion that the image of Margrave Levien, speaking calmly with a communication crystal ball in front of him, overlaps with the image of someone familiar? I glanced at the expressions of the other people gathered at the command center, but only a few people had the same reaction as me..
Most people say, 'Our Margrave speaks very refreshingly!' He looks very proud with this expression on his face..
"All the small towns and villages we pass through are our collaborators. Are you plundering them just because they are demons? Itisel will not tolerate this.."
-As allies, we demand fair compensation, Count Lévien.!
"Fuck you..."
Oh, Eldmia is coming out. Eldmia is coming out..
Contrary to Siegfried's expectations, who sensed something unusual as he saw the momentarily distorted eyebrows and shrinking pupils, the Margrave chewed and swallowed the curse with superhuman patience..
"First of all, if I had to classify myself as a marquis. Please note that it is correct to call him Margrave or Marquis.."
However, I started spitting out each word with force, as if I were a replacement..
"Second, the authority to distribute compensation according to the major achievements of this operation has been delegated to me with the consent of the royal family and the empire. This must have already been delivered before being put into operation, so what you are asking for is not a fair price. What right do you have to plunder if you didn't even participate in the battle? If you choose to be a stray dog, just do your job calmly and wait for the corresponding reward.."
Siegfried almost burst out laughing as he saw the subject beyond the crystal sphere unable to speak due to the sudden verbal abuse..
Why were all the women around Eldmia so amazing?.
