Chapter 344 Lesson 342 Reasons for Withdrawal

Leo, caged in the castle, saw the retreating dragon knights and was holding a military council.

"What do you think? Marquis Gryssner."

"It would be a trap. Or have you replaced the soldiers because reinforcements have arrived?"

"Do you still see that?"

"Dragon knights can rush quickly, even if they are slightly away. If this is a good opportunity to strike out, I'm wondering if the enemy is waiting to strike back."

"... how many enemies have retired?

"Approximately seven to eight thousand reports."

T r ansla te d b y ｊp ｍt l.ｃ o m "... That's a lot"

Leo was really caught up.

Why bother lowering soldiers when reinforcements arrive?

If you want to lower the injured, I know, but many dragon knights dropped backwards.

I didn't understand the intent.

Marquis Gryssner says it's a trap, but if it's a trap, it's too obvious.

It's just not as reckless as striking out at this time.

Transl a ted b y jp m tl .c om I don't think the dragon prince misreads his opponent's powers.

Everything was unnatural.

"What do you think? Katrina."

Of all the faces that were participating in the military conference, Katrina was the only one who contemplated it with a difficult face.

I remember something caught on, just like myself.

That's what Leo asked for his opinion.

"I thought it was a trap if you think normally. But there's 10,000 reinforcements coming, and we're lowering 8,000. And look at this. If it's a dragon prince's move, I think it's too crude."

"I thought so, too. He is not so optimistic that he thinks we will leave the castle to the extent that the Dragon Knight has retreated. But as a matter of fact, the Dragon Knights retreated to show off."

"Might be your aim to get this one lost"

"But Katrina. Why would he let this one get lost? Ten thousand reinforcements have arrived and the siege is perfect. Even if eight thousand have retreated, two thousand more than ever before. You're supposed to let me get lost, right?

"Yes, Father. That's what I care about. Why? The question goes around."

There is no need for the advantageous to do small work.

Time buying is not Leo's purpose, but it's not the kind of time William would panic about yet. Now, I couldn't really understand moving.

If it's not a matter of time, it's a matter of food.

But.

"The reinforcements had a ton of carriages with them. There's got to be enough food." Tra n sl a t ed by Ｊpｍt l .c o m

"We have time and food. Yet the reason for the small work......"

Leo thinks deeply and shuts out the sound around him completely.

And diving into the sea of thought, how William did that. I started to think about it.

It's not as effective a measure as doing it even though you don't have to. I mean, I did it because I needed it.

So why do we need it?

I'm not being chased by time, I have some food.

Still, I retreated to exaggerate to show...

"Is it because the retreat is true..."

"What do you mean?

"The enemy Dragon Knights definitely withdrew. Plus thousands of soldiers. Then I can understand the exaggeration of retreating and getting this one lost."

"But even if it were, it wouldn't change the enemy's advantage, would it?

"That's right. The advantage should remain unchanged. But I did a small job. Which means the enemy's guts are worse than this one thinks."

"... it was not only the Dragon Knights who retreated, but also the Dragon Prince?

"Then I'm convinced. If the commander took turns, he would never want to be attacked. The chain of command is chaotic."

Leo glances at the map spread over his desk as he says. Tr an s l ated b y jpｍtl .co ｍ

Of the pawns placed on it, Leo points to the great pawns on the enemy's side.

"What about the General of the reinforcements?

"Not yet known"

"Find out. If you can imagine, this might be the best opportunity for us."

William's weakness is that he is a prince of another country.

This is Gordon's rebellion. If William is too active, he won't know who's in the lead.

Even if Gordon tolerated it, he wouldn't tolerate it around him.

Until now, there was no excuse. But William has played the fallacy of being burned with food by his enemies and transported.

It's not just William's fault, it's enough clearance to get in.

"Gordon is not here. Instead, the generals are in charge of Konrat or Henrik."

"If the commander has changed from a dragon prince to an inexperienced prince... you can say the enemy's power has been greatly reduced"

"If the enemy commander was turning into a prince, would you strike out of here?

Leo shakes his neck sideways at Katrina's inquiry.

The situation seems favorable to the Leos, but that's the whole thing.

If you make a mistake, you'll be lured into shape. Tran sl a t e d by jp m tl.co m

"If the reinforcement's general was Henrik, we attack. However, in the case of a contort, it does not move. Eighty-nine, it's a trap."

"What do you mean?

"Henrik has high pride. It's likely enough to clash with Prince William. But the contort is different. Do everything properly, and do not imitate yourself in such a way that you risk yourself by eliminating the powerful. So if Konrat has led reinforcements, this is likely a trap"

That's what Leo said as he remembered Herahela and a lightly laughing Konrat.

Most similar to Al among the princes. That was Leo's assessment of Konrat, and that was also the greatest of Leo's.

"Are you wary of Prince Konrat? I'm a prince who doesn't have a very good reputation to ask..."

"You should remember that well. A prince with a bad reputation in the royal family should be vigilant."

Make it Traugot, Al, your reputation sucks.

But its reputation and strength do not match.

Leo had the same smell on the conlato.

"Now we will focus on reconnaissance. Reconnaissance from the sky will be easier than without the Dragon Knight."

"I left it to you. Try not to be noticed."

"It will take some time, are you sure?

"I don't mind. I guess he's more of an untrustworthy commander than Prince William is bothering to use his measures to get this one lost. It's almost certainly Henrik. And Henrik has as many gaps as he wants."

"But Prince Henrik has partially absorbed Empress Zandra's subordination. They may be forming a magic leader unit."

"It doesn't pose a threat. If Henrik had learned a ploy from his mother or sister, he'd still be distancing himself from them when he saw his mother's bad reputation. Henrik doesn't have the ability to be vigilant on the battlefield."

With certainty, Leo moved his gaze to the map.

How do you break enemies on that head? That was all I had.

Because for Leo, Henrik was an opponent who didn't deserve vigilance.

Henrik, who was encouraging in his studies and martial arts, was quite good. But I couldn't stand out because I didn't have anything to fly through.

Good balance, but instrumental poverty.

It might have been omnipotent if it had been possible to stretch everything as it were, but it could not have reached that area.

Henrik knew that too.

That's why I viewed Leo so much as a rival.

Because Leo was systematically the same.

But Leo was elevating himself up to a realm called omnipotence.

Such a wary opponent for Leo is a brilliant one.

Halfway better opponents like Henrik were the easiest to give.

"Since I am not in a position to be cheap, do I want a handle..."

Handle disputes arise because they are advantageous.

But the advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield change quickly.

A general with extensive experience on the front line knows how far he can claim himself. Because there is no ex or child to lose.

But Henrik doesn't have that feeling.

"If you think about how Henrik and Prince William don't fit..."

I don't think of Gordon.

Leo knew that, too.

For Gordon, William is his own ally and his own best friend. Henrik, you won't even think about it when you go against it.

But the humans around Gordon should notice.

"Not a single rock over there..."

Leo sighs, thinking William, who would be struggling.

The Gordon faction is not a single rock, but neither is the imperial side.

It is good evidence that Erik, the bargain with the Empire, is still unable to bring the bargain together.

A giant monster recently emerged in the Empire. I also hear that there is a lot of damage as a result.

Working hand in hand with the Empire is not a bad story for the Empire either.

Negotiations are still difficult to navigate even though interests are in agreement, because we are deliberately delaying them.

Leo was reading that the negotiations would probably not come together until he lost.

But to that extent, it is assumed.

Because the reinforcements Leo was waiting for are not Eastern Border Guards led by Reese.

"Well... let's think about countermeasures"

That's how Leo started to move the pawn.
