Chapter 92.3: Forcas’ Mistake

The battle is basically the higher ground you are, the more you win.

Occupying the high ground becomes even more important if youre going to use guns or artillery.

It would be extremely difficult to run up the mountain road, over the trenches with many traps set from below, and attack down the numerous defenses protected by sandbags and waterproof canopies.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

At the moment, the royal army was firing unilaterally. One wonders how foolish the imperial army would be to not retreat after being hit so hard.

I hope so. General Forcas is desperately trying to attack. Perhaps he already sensed that this is where the real headquarters is.

No way.

Almighty Forcas is a strategist and is the chief general of the empire. If the headquarters and the queen fell, it doesnt matter how much we won. We must not let them go up until the very end.

Why dont we just bring Queen Silhouette to the summit with us?

As I predicted, the last place that Freed, who survived(or possibly died and reincarnated as the demon king), would aim for would be the Miasma Hole of Doom.

If that will be the place of the decisive battle, it would be better to have Silhouette stay there.

Given theres battle everywhere, she will be safest if shes with us and I think she has the right to watch the final battle.

The queen will be protected by Prime Minister Nicola, who is an advance mage. However, it cant be said to be a perfect protection.

I handed my magic rifle to Queen Silhouette for additional protection.

This lady requests to be able to fight with you. This lady will go to the place where Takeru-sama will go and will serve him as his wife to the end.

Ah, Marquis Danavan..

I managed to swallow my words and did not say stay put. At the end of the headquarters room, Marquis Danavan was shivering with a blue face.

Hes a big, fat guy but hes wearing a full plate armor. Though looking at him, it looks like it is too heavy for him to move.

You could say that at times like this, he cant help but it is still pitiful that everyone just passes by Marquis Danavan.

Hes the commander in chief of the whole army. I mean, I thought he was hiding in the rear but hes right here in the front line.

Yeah, Marquis Danavan is patriotic and motivated. Thats what I think when I look at his face. He looks blue but hes still here without any sign of running away.

Its a little terrible for sensei to directly ignore Marquis Danavan, the commander in chief, and ask Ortholet to command directly.

Well, oi! Someone give the marquis, I mean the general a gun.

I had a squire bring a gun to him.

Using his trembling hands, Marquis Danavan took the flintlock. Its dangerous but still better than giving him a sword.

D-do you want me to shoot enemies with this?

Leave the command to Ortholet. Your excellency Danavan should stay at the very back of the headquarters as the commander in chief. If you survive, it means we won. That gun is for your protection.

If the command center is attacked and Marquis Danavan has to fight himself, I really think that it means we lost.

If he is willing to fight, just give him a gun. It doesnt matter if it suits him or not.

This is the battle of Silesie where all forces are fighting together.
