618 Current state of the lead army

"Guys, hey. Haven't seen you in three days? I'm going to do a live broadcast, not Kiri's horoscope this time. As I was heralding, after the Battle of the Barca Army against the Reinzatz Army, it will be another big match between the Lead Army and the Allied Forces of the King's Capital. Well, can I ask you again for a commentary, Master Vargas?

"It's Vargas van Bales. I was to be asked to continue with my second radio appearance as a commentator last time. Nice to meet you, Miss Kiri."

"Yes, thank you. And we can live the sights of a far away battlefield because we have the witch of God, Mr. Eye. I'm also supposed to have Mr. Eye on this one. Thank you, Mr. Eye."

"It's an eye. Best regards,"

I'm on the radio again like this.

At the end of the battle between the Barca and Reinzatz armies, which ended three days ago, I told them of the Lead Army crisis.

Maybe the Doren-led KingsMetropolitan Coalition will launch an attack on the Lead Army before the General can move, he said.

And that became real.

Because the Wangdu coalition forces that were forming in the south of Wangdu began to move quickly.

In contrast, the Admiral's action seemed to be to ask Kyle, who was supposed to be under attack, if he could also radio the lead army battle.

Whatever it is, I want to say it's okay.

I know the Admiral values Kyle highly, but it's still too dangerous.

"... that sounds kind of disturbing, Master Vargas"

"Mm, oh, does that look like it, Miss Killi? That shouldn't happen. I'm still worried about you."

"But that's all I'm worried about about you, isn't it, Kyle? Earlier, Mr. Eye said that there seems to be more than ten times as many Wangdu Coalition troops that the Lead Army will deal with. Can you win?

"... I don't know. I do think Kyle is an excellent general. But it would be hard to be honest if we could have the same effect as the Admiral."

"But for example, there was a time when Eye said that the difference in power wasn't just the number of people. The law of the battlefield or something, the number of strong people or the quality of their equipment, is something that is compositely involved. Considering that, wouldn't the Lead Army have that much difference in power from the Wang Metropolitan Coalition?

"No, as far as I can tell, lead army equipment shouldn't be that good. In other words, based on the information I've heard, the Admiral hasn't even given the lead army so much of the demon gun he's officially hiring in Barca."

"Huh? Really? I just thought Barca was the one who was holding the Reed family back."

"No, that's not true. Yeah, I see it. The Admiral's pretty neat. Fiscal spending since the Reeds cut the territory and got the Reeds is also on loan from Barca Bank. Basically, I didn't do anything like just apply it."

That's right.

Somehow, the Admiral is obsessed with discipline in weird places.

There are verses that seem more concerned with people's eyes than with them.

You look like you're doing whatever you want, and you're acting unexpectedly concerned about the eyes around you.

Kyle is a real brother to the Admiral.

But the Reed family was recognized by King Fontana to cut the territory and get their own, and if they didn't get the territory from Barca, they weren't originally Barca knights.

If you say so, the Reed and Barca families may be close to the same.

The Reed family is never under Barca.

I guess that's what you think.

Thus, during the territorial cuts and in this battle, Barca has persisted in his position that he is only giving power at the request of the Reed family.

And that was true, for example, in financial terms.

As a Barca family, it had clearly delimited itself with regard to, for example, the territorial excision of the Reed family.

Maybe this is also to keep the rest of the people in the Kingdom of Fontana from complaining.

If Barca gave a complete meal and the Reed family gained territory, that would essentially mean the Barca family's territory would expand.

but in fact I can still make excuses if I act separately between public and private, no matter what the name alone is.

It can only be argued that the territory gained by the Reed family is not directly related to Barca.

Well, in reality, Barca Bank lends Kyle money, so I can't say it's completely irrelevant.

"Well, but. Even if we set aside such circumstances, there are major reasons why Barca could not have handed over the equipment to the entire lead army. Do you know what that is, Miss Killi?

"Uh, what is it? Couldn't get a demon gun that far, or something?

"There might be some of that. But it's not. There is a clear reason. That means I was anxious to provide equipment to the lead army. For God's sake, a lot of the soldiers in the Reed Army are the ones who used to bandit until last year."

"Oh, is that what you mean? With that said, Kyle, the Reed Territory you rule was like a lawless zone until last year, wasn't it? Well, Ars was anxious to see a demon gun or some kind of weapon in the hands of some of those ex-descendants."

"I guess. Not against Barca's soldiers, who have fought many battlefields together, but against those who don't know much about it, it would mean that the general couldn't have done just that."

I think the Demon Gun is a very user-friendly weapon.

Attack is never high, but still shows strength in battles against the majority.

But what if they use it against you?

We cannot give away such a valuable weapon in a situation where the people who were originally bandits were incorporated into the lead army.

For starters, no doubt, when you realize it, the number will be decreasing and you won't know where you're going.

This means that the Admiral has a high regard for Kyle, but does not fully trust the current lead army itself.

So they take care to make loans to Kyle individuals through Barca Bank, but not too many precious items they don't like to cross into the Reed family if they don't know where they are.

Probably because that's what's on your mind when you don't lend out demon-guided airships or demon-mounted weapons or anything.

Therefore, the current lead army is weak.

It would be clear that it does not extend far to the Barca army in terms of the quality of its equipment.

And so is the quality aspect of soldiers.

Just before it was last winter, we cut the Reid territory and the Reid family rule began.

So I gathered the fighters who could live in the first cut territory to build a lead army.

In other words, the lead army will be a rapidly built army that has only been over winter for a short period of time since it was formed.

He continued his training during the winter, but I wonder if he's less of a soldier.

Of course, not all of the lead armies are soldiers who don't trust them.

Some have moved from the Kingdom of Fontana to Lead territory in their own desire and belong to the Lead Army.

but it means it can never be considered the same as the Barca army.

"That means the quality of the equipment, the quality of the soldiers, the Lead Army is overwhelmingly losing to the Barca Army, right? Then the Lead Army can't beat the Wangdu Coalition in numbers..."

"... I worry about that too. That's why I suppose if the Admiral uses his cavalry to show just the offensive posture from behind the Wang Metropolitan coalition, that would be enough restraint, but he won't. I wonder what the Admiral is thinking."

"From what Eye heard, he said there was no problem. Master Ars Barca doesn't seem to doubt the victory of the lead army."

"Is that true, Eye? Where does the Admiral look in the lead army and make such an assessment?

"That's a little different, Master Vargas van Barres. Lady Ars Barca doesn't appreciate the Lead Army much."

"Huh? So, what are you looking at and sure you're winning the lead army, Admiral?

"You'll see Master Kyle Reed. Ars Barca said he was stronger than himself about Kyle Reed."

Kyle's stronger than the Admiral?

Is that true?

Perhaps what the Admiral is trying to say is about Kyle's amount of magic.

The Admiral ceded his right of inheritance to his son.

As a result, Alford, the current head of the Barca family, has inherited the terrible magic he had until then.

And after that inheritance, indeed, the Admiral's amount of magic has fallen more than at its peak.

... somehow, the amount of magic has been rising every day since then.

But, indeed, at this stage alone, Kyle has more magic as an individual than a general.

Is that why you're anticipating a win for the Reed family?

Does that mean that the battle between the Lead Army and the Allied Forces of the King's Capital is not a mass battle by the army, but that the flow is determined by the strength of the main class?

The commentator himself hasn't set a prediction of the war. That's when it happened.

Eye told me that the two armies that were finishing the formation had moved out.

Thus began the battle between the Lead Army and the Allied Forces of the King's Capital with no idea what would happen.
