605 Purpose and Conditions of War

"So, let Ars take care of the spill. More than that, you're gonna have to think about fighting the Reinzatz family. What are you going to do, Ars?

"... According to information gathered by Eye from the Magic Guide airship, it looks like the Reinzatz have collected about 100,000 troops. That's all you can gather in one nobleman's house."

"Oh, that's a lot more than I expected. So, this is about 10,000 against 100,000. Normally, if you get bumped, they're gonna crush you unwinnably, right?

"I guess so. But it's also hard to figure out how to fight everywhere sporadically to avoid damage. At any rate, the Reed family is fighting in the Wang Metropolitan Area. We have to avoid the Rhinesats going to the Reid or the King's Capital."

"Finally, you mean you have to win after hitting on your opponent and dealing with all 100,000. What kind of operation are we going on?

"... you can probably afford it, brother Byte. Normally, I'd expect to lose this fight."

"You idiot. You haven't lost a single time saying that before. Anyway, isn't there a way in your head to win this time too?

"Wow. You have a lot of trust."

The collection of information by Eye was not just topographical information full of aerial photographs.

Of course there was the size of the army of the Rheinzatz family among the information gathered.

Apparently, the Rheinzatz army is already on its feet towards Lead territory.

You'd be surprised how many hundreds of thousands of great armies are coming.

Or how dare you think it's something you can prepare such a number for.

Every territory should be chronically exhausted, but I still thought it was just called the Grand Noble.

In particular, I am impressed by the fact that this number of people can be served and the fact that food can be prepared to fill the belly of that number.

I guess it has somewhat to do with being a warmer climate land than the Kingdom of Fontana, but I still wondered if the rulers were good.

And it's not just the size of that army that the Reinzatz family is in trouble with.

The magic used was a little different from other nobles.

Will it be necessary to think about the magic as well?

"The magic of the Rheinzatz family manipulated time, didn't it, Ars?

"Sounds like it, brother Byte. The Knight of the Rheinzatz family uses [super acceleration]. I can temporarily change the flow of time around me. I'm talking about using [super acceleration] to attack me twice, triple, or faster."

"Can you handle it if it's just fast?

"I don't know. You're not just a fast amateur over there, either. He should be working out as a knight serving a historic prestigious nobleman. Naturally, I think I know a lot about martial arts. If you face Barca's knight one-on-one, you won't win a dozen."

"That's a pain in the ass. But did you compare it to our main class yet? Surely our main class is going to stop time and attack us, right?

"That's right. [Moments] That sounds magical. He says it's over without even realizing he's dead because he attacks his opponent and drops his neck while he's stopping time. Scary."

"That's... Exactly. If I were to use that magic, I might not win. How far can you fight with [Ice Summoning], but it's troublesome that they won't notice if they use magic"

Really, I'm gonna hate this.

You're such a cheat, I think.

The Rheinzatz family has pretty powerful magic just to name hegemonic nobles.

The wizard who manipulates time seemed to be the ancestor, and the main class and others move around and attack the world where time stopped?

What a dangerous bunch of people.

"But you said you can't not not fight. It's not a good idea for the Reinzatz to head to the lead army led by Kyle. The lead army is strong as a single group that follows Kyle's brain, but it won't be compatible before these special abilities."

"Even so, it's not like the Barca army is resistant to the magic of time manipulation, is it?

"Yeah, but well, it depends on how you fight. In the meantime, our strategic goal is a victory over the Rheinzatz army. It's not a draw, either. It's better to beat your opponent without skin."

"Well, it would be best if I could do that, but why? Usually, you can win whatever you want."

"It's an easy thing, brother Byte. The aim of this battle is not only to beat the Rheinzatz family. The Reed family is going to increase their territory. So, if you assume you've cut Rheinzatz territory, it depends on how you win whether or not the land follows the Reid family rule. If you fight again, the Rheinzatz army might win, not in a half-way battle like that. It is more desirable to win a way to crush trust in the Rheinzatz family, a historic celebrity and current hegemonic nobility held by the inhabitants. So this time we're going to choose a match, not an ambush. Win by hitting from the front squarely. That's all."

"That's funny, as always. Well, let me ask you something. How to attack the overwhelming majority of Rheinzatz troops in a battle."

Do it thoroughly.

Especially this time, victory isn't the only thing.

We also need to fight with a view to what follows.

To do this, you better make sure you don't leave them room for excuses.

Then it would be better to challenge the fight in a matchmaking format.

Instead of an ambush, which is my winning pattern, I officially send a messenger, and after setting the date, time and place, the two armies lay a formation and bump into each other.

That makes it clear which is the winner.

Thus, I decided to work with my brother Byte and declared war on the Rheinzatz army.
