Chapter 392

Chapter 392. Ernesia Border Battle (1) Before the full-scale battle between the Ernesia Kingdom Army and the Dark Church begins.

A situation in front of a battlefield filled with calm tension.

I remembered what happened a few days ago.

Yes, that was before I got to this point.

* * *

“What nonsense are you talking about, Arell!”

For some reason, our YES-Man King, the oldest brother, objected this time.

“I can’t allow it this time.”

Well, at least this time, I have no choice but to understand his reaction.

It's because of the opinion I brought up to Cheil hyung a while ago.

“It's a reckless opinion to block the dark church with only your four territories of Arel!”

There were only a few days left until the Dark Church's aerial fortress entered the borders of Ernesia Kingdom.

In this situation, the royal castle is repeating only sluggish meetings among the nobles every day.

In the midst of this situation where even the oldest brother was troubled by the headache and was drinking decoctions that were said to be good for headaches, I gave him another headache.

Yes, take your troubles!

It was none other than the fact that I would command the army to directly block that aerial fortress.

yes i won

But he doesn't seem to think so.

I don't know if I need communication to convince you.

“Of course, our territorial army alone is somewhat insufficient, so we want to additionally borrow the insufficient number from the kingdom army. I would like you to send at least 40,000 more. That should be enough.”

To be honest, it doesn't matter if you don't.

Somewhat lacking in head can be done somehow.

Moreover, the level of the opponent is not a level to talk about the number of heads.

It didn't matter because I didn't intend to wage a proper war with them.

But as a listener, I have no choice but to stop.

Wouldn't that sound reckless and forced?

“That's not the problem, Arell. What kind of people were they? It is a monster that defeated even the allied forces that gathered the best of each country.”

“I know.”

“Are you saying that knowingly?

Wasn't that reckless?”

If I told you that I would stop an enemy who had defeated the Allied Forces, which is the combination of elite troops from each country, with only one lord's troops, even I would doubt, ‘Is his brain okay?'

But I didn't give up.

If you don't do it, you want to do it more.

“Someone has to, Your Majesty. Then I'll ask you differently. Then, is there anyone other than me who has prepared a plan to stop them?”

“???? Mmm.”

“Are they coming up with countermeasures, staying at the castle every day? Or is the book of salvation given in a foreign country?”

“?...”

That's it.”

“If there is, I will give up my stubbornness.”

But he doesn't say anything.

yeah there can't be

It is a question aimed at pinpointing because I know that there is no such thing.

“Even now, I know that nobles continue to make sluggish claims.”

“But that is not a reason for you, Arell, to go out alone. And if it is a response, we will find a way through renegotiation with other countries.”

“Wouldn’t that be a woman’s friend too?”

You didn't think I wouldn't know, did you?

In fact, the most unanswered is not the domestic aristocrats.

Rather, it was the attitude of a foreign country.

“You already know they're showing signs of cutting their hands?”

“Did you know?”

“Yeah.... Actually, the omen was overly explicit.”

They made suspicious moves, such as deliberately delaying responses or strengthening only border guards.

“...I heard about that move too.”

“No problem. After all, I wouldn’t have made this comment if there really wasn’t a chance.”

Am I not the one who best measures the gap in the first place?

So trust your cunning brother.

After I expressed my opinion this far, in the end, the oldest brother had no choice but to agree.

In fact, there was another problem that was more embarrassing than persuading the elder brother or the nobles.

That's asking my wife for understanding.

As soon as I got back, I called Pena, and when we were alone, I cautiously brought up the story.

“In other words, it seems that I will have to go out anyway.”

iced coffee. I feel sorry for the gaze.

Let me tell you that I must go forth for the peace of the kingdom and, by extension, the peace of my family's economy.

Pena was silent for a while, then put her hand on her cheek and let out a soundless sigh.

It was a half-expected reaction.

Yes, I am still a newlywed, but if my husband goes to the battlefield, of course I will sigh.

“...Ah, somehow it seemed so.

It seemed so.”

And then he starts to grumble like something pitiful.

“The world is so indifferent. How long has it been since the wedding ceremony, do you think you are already sending your husband to the battlefield?”

“...No, pretending to be pitiful won’t change the decision, right?”

The response is weaker than expected.

Pena, who noticed that I was uncomfortable with something, glanced at me.

“ah? Did you really think that I would just sniffle at you and tell you not to go?”

“well? Well, I thought it might be. No, before that, if you say that you are going to the battlefield suddenly like this, shouldn’t you stop it if you are a normal newlywed?”

“Aren’t you going to dry it?”

“...I'm going to do something.”

When I answered that, Pena said, “Look, it's useless.” He lightly tapped my chest with his hand.

It's not that I'm resentful.

Right. Did you give up thinking that it would be useless to dry it?

“Actually, I roughly expected it. Is that right? Suddenly, everyone trains them, makes something, and even the royal castle comes in and out to say something during this time.

Besides, Countess Estelle pretends to know, ‘I heard that your husband is going to the battlefield?'”

The wives' information network is scary.

“And Arell. If you think about what you usually do, it was obvious that this would happen. huh. It turned out as expected.”

This is why people should behave well on a daily basis.

There was no intention of hiding it from the beginning, so it's worth noticing.

After all, she had already prepared herself mentally.

It means you were waiting patiently for me to bring up the story.

Hmmm... then maybe it would have been better to bring it up sooner.

“And it's knights who fight on the battlefield, so it's not Arell. Then you should worry about them, not Arel, right?”

“...Does it make sense?”

If they're okay, it means I'm okay too.

It definitely makes sense.

indeed! plausible!

....well, it seems like they're sneaking in.

I have no intention of telling her, but this time I have to step in too.

otherwise you won't be able to stop it.

“You know that doesn’t mean I’m not worried, right? Don't get me wrong.”

Pena said that with a slightly bitter expression.

I said I knew everything and hugged her and patted her.

“of course. Could it be that I don't know?”

“Anyway, come back safely. Don't make a widow for nothing. know?”

“don't worry. Because that won't happen.”

Nothing happens just because of this.

As long as I made up my mind to step out, the outcome is no different.

Don't worry.

I'm a state that only fights to win.

I have never lost more than that. not bragging though.
