535 Chapter 518 Obvious Advantages

The Duke of Pastoré is out.

When I heard the news, I let out a sigh.

I knew it was over there after all.

"Oscar didn't seem to be able to convince me..."

Giulio dropped his shoulder.

The Duke of Pastoré, who hasn't moved since the capital.

The reason for this was that Count Adornat, who was defending his neutrality, was on his side.

It swelled the army of the Duke of Pastoré.

Seeing this advantage, the Duke of Pastoré finally raised his heavy hips.

A total of six thousand troops are on their way.

In contrast, this is a thousand people.

There was a six-fold difference in power.

Even if you fight for your base, Lord Rondine doesn't have a robust fort.

I renovated something that I could probably renovate at a nearby fort, but I didn't have much time, so I thought it would be burnt stone.

I couldn't stand the six-fold difference in power in a fragile base.

Well, let's just say the Duke of Pastoré stepped out in person.

“What do you mean?”

"Even my son could stand up to the general, and Marcel could not win if he was entrusted with all the power."The Duke of Pastoré is reluctant to intervene because he hasn't moved so far. "

"Even though you captured the capital with the help of the Kingdom, you didn't want to interfere..."

"I guess I don't have the guts to be a puppet."It's a convenient story. "

That convenient idea is our chance to win.

I was convinced I could win, so the Duke of Pastoré came out, but there was absolutely no battle.

"Let's do what we can."

That's why I pat Julio on the shoulder.

■■■

In a few days.

Six thousand Duke Pastore's troops were deployed in front of us at the fort.

An envoy from the Duke of Pastore's army has arrived.

The envoy went down the horse in front of the gate and greeted us.

"It's been a long time, Lord Arnold, Julio."

"It's been a long time, Oskar."

It was Oskar, the son of Count Adornat, who came as a messenger.

I would have sent Count Adornat to join us, but now he's here as an envoy of the enemy.

"I'm sorry for the consequences... I couldn't convince my father."

"Oscar..."

Giulio had a look on his face that he couldn't help it.

Oskar looked sorry too.

But.

"Your Highness would have been disappointed..."

"I'm not disappointed.Somewhat predictable. ”

"... what do you mean?"

"Stay that way. I don't know you very well, but I know your personality to a certain extent."My father told me that I should be the Duke of Pastoré, and I betrayed him because the situation suddenly leaned towards the Duke of Pastoré?My father was right. "

"Betrayal!? How do you feel about yourself!"

"You must have persuaded me so desperately."I'll admit it. But in the end, you're facing us.I knew it to some extent.You're obviously not on the side of the underdogs. "

You can see the situation poorly, so you can see the advantages and disadvantages.

Because you can protect yourself poorly, you will know what to do after winning or losing.

Since I can admit my mistakes poorly, I can understand my father's correctness.

I knew Oscar would be drawn to the count.

I don't expect anything, so I'm not disappointed.

"It sounds like you know... I was under house arrest for a few days."To the fruitful father, it is a sacrifice. Your Highness was on your side until the situation changed.Now that we can't cover it up anymore, we had no choice but to turn to the Duke! ”

"That's who you are, isn't it?"I think my brother-in-law has been arrested for a few days, and if the situation changes, I can't help but change the forces.That's what the world calls a traitor. "

"I had no choice!" If your Highness were in the opposite position, wouldn't that be the case!? "

"If anyone wants me to win, I'll definitely let them win."I can overturn a situation I can't overturn, and I can do it if I can't do it or if I can't.I don't know... so remember this.There aren't many people in the world like you who aren't ready for it. "

As he narrowed his eyes, Oskar took a step back.

But Oskar argues.

"... I see your Highness is a fine man... so I can recover from this defeat?"If you can't, just say it! "

"I can, and I'm not at a disadvantage anymore."The Duke of Pastoré took too long. "

"Even a reinforcement ate?" Looks like Raul isn't there, but what if he's expecting a peripheral aristocrat?There's no way they're going to rush.Even stupid Raul wouldn't challenge a reckless battle!If you wanted me to follow you, you should have won the advantage! "

"Is that the truth?" Well, I know what you want to say.But that idea won't do you any good, will it?Those who ally with us when we are at a disadvantage deserve to be trusted.That trust is for life.That's why Raul will continue to be useful.Unlike you,

We were outnumbered.

So only those believed that they would not betray him in his inferiority.

We're the same women who fell on the roadside.

Even if I abandoned him, I still had an excuse.

There was a reason for this, so I can't help it.

He said he likes to help.

But that's what we're looking for.

"Raul's in serious trouble...?" His Highness seems to be blind.In a country where men with no such strengths are heavily used, all that awaits is death. ”

"I don't think I have eyes to see for sure."My brother can find strengths even in humans who don't have them.Compared to that, I'm still a lot.We can only find obvious strengths.Raul is sincere. With that one point alone, I will surpass you by far. "

The moment I said that.

The guard shouted out loud.

A force from the north! About two thousand!

Everyone turns their gaze to the north and sees their forces.

Little Aristocrat Allies.

At the forefront was the military flag of the House of Count Pinto.

"It's time to go home and tell your father."You've got the wrong person to tell. "

"T-That's 2,000 reinforcements... this is 6,000!"There's still twice as many! "

"If you think so, come on."I'll stand by whenever I want to.Due to the character of the Duke of Pastoré, the House of Count Adornate must have been the forerunner.He will come to sharpen his strength, because he will be blind when he takes the throne.At most, you have to struggle. "

"Ugh...! Just say what you like!"When we win, beg for help.I want you to be grateful at that time! "

"Stop insuring yourself like that."I won't help you. "

I'm going to help you.

I show such a stance and make insurance in the unlikely event that it happens.

I betrayed him and made him laugh at his plea for help.

"Now get out of here. Prince Giulio is busy welcoming future ministers."

With both my hands, I get rid of Oskar.

With Julio, we were preparing to greet the slowly approaching reinforcements.
