543 Chapter 526 Reasons for Change

When Marcel woke up.

It had been a whole day.

"I'm sorry." I decided I needed some rest. ”

"...... I'm worried about you."

I was in the mood to force myself to wake up, but what made Lisette think so was that I pushed my body that far.

It was Marcel's fault.

Therefore, speaking to Lisette, Marcel came out of the bed.

What's the situation?

The enemy hasn't moved, but the Duke is making a scene when he hears that Marcel has fallen.

Who will follow me?

“I'm hardly there. I have a new memory of a reckless assault."

"Hmm..."

Once I slept, Marcel's head was clear.

And because I was quite tired, I didn't get angry at the duke's behavior.

I should have used it a little better.

"Even so, the Duke ignored Marcel's advice."

Marcel nodded at what Lisette said.

If Marcel had fought at the right time, he would have almost certainly won.

He stretched it out and suddenly became aware of it when Count Adornat joined.

And Marcel was ordered to be absent from the city.

At this point, the cooperative relationship seemed to have broken down.

The duke showed a clear attitude.I won't accept any intervention from the kingdom.

Marcel therefore abandoned his hesitation.

You can't win a battle with a low chance of winning, even if you care about the Duke.

“If it was the opposite, would Arnold have used the Duke well?”

"I think I got on well."You seem to be comfortable being underestimated. ”

"... once my foolish brother, Prince Wang, described me as competent but arrogant."At that time, I heard that it was the seclusion of ordinary people, but my arrogance seems to be a flaw. ”

“Being a confident person is not a disadvantage.People like the Duke are not compatible. "

“Lisette is always a pleasant rhetoric.But I can't spoil it.We have to make an effort to improve it. "

"I don't think Lord Marcel needs to change for the duke."

Unusually, Lisette frowned.

From Lisette's point of view, this battle is already a digestive match.

With almost certainty of victory, Lisette ignored Duke Pastore, who ignored Marcel's advice.

For Lisette, it is evil to be unaware of Marcel's prowess.

I couldn't be convinced that Marcel would change for the Duke.

"It doesn't change for the duke.They change to stand alongside their best opponents.I'm a passionate man, and I'm noble.Even if you show your ability, there are a certain number of people who don't want to bother me.Until now, that was good, but it would be a disadvantage for Arnold's opponent. "

While saying that, Marcel smiled bitterly.

There was a time when I thought I was going to change for those people.

But that idea had already blown up.

The first good opponent.

If we can beat that, we won't hesitate to make any effort.Marcel admitted Arnold enough to think so.

The nobles are in a meeting, aren't they?

"Yes, it looks like we're talking without the duke."

All right.

That's why.

"Oh!? Ambassador Marcel!"

Did you wake up!

"Looks like you made me worry."I'm sorry. I think I've been getting tired lately.It was my fault if I lost the other day. I had a hard time. "

Marcel bowed his head to the nobles.

They did as they were told.There was an unexpected incident, but I decided it was me who should have prevented it.

"Ah, please raise your head!"

“Yes! The Ambassador is doing his best!”

The nobles are puzzled by the unexpected.

Because it hasn't been handled before.

"I tried my best, but I lost."Besides, I fell when it was important.The loss of time here is fatal. "

Marcel was sharing information with the nobles.

I'm sure the enemy will move Rondine.

That means the border troops will be able to move.

If the border troops move, the situation will change.

So there is no time.

It was all shared.

But the nobles don't understand as much as Marcel.

There was a difference between Marcel and his consciousness.

Marcel thought he had to drop it or he wouldn't win, but some of the aristocrats could afford it.

There is no sense of crisis because there is little understanding.

Marcel decided to change it.

"The border troops will already be moving.Probably another day or so.We will retreat to the capital to avoid annihilation.However, if you withdraw honestly, you will be chased away. "

"I wonder if the border troops will come so soon...?"

"I know it's unbelievable.But I'm not going to let this go unexpectedly.If we don't retreat, we're all wiped out.But we can't even retreat honestly.And the Duke won't let us retreat. "

Reason why the Duke of Pastoré disobeys.

Marcel understood that.

I'm not considering the validity of the instructions, and I don't want to follow Marcel.

If you obey, you will be intervened by the Kingdom.That's why Marcel's words are completely rebuffed.

If so.

"The duke who insists on staying will be his army."I was an ally, but I had a son in the city.It's no less a problem than the duke... but I have no choice. "

"I see... but isn't it a bad idea to be seen as leaving an ally behind?"

"That's why I'm talking to you guys."Three thousand or so under the Duke, including the wounded.Two thousand men can move under me.We will divide the army.I'm sorry, but I want some of them to stay with the Duke. "

That said, Marcel lowered his head again to the nobles.

Palaces are dangerous.

Still.

"I'll take that role."

"Count Adornat..."

“If someone has to do it, I'll do it.My son is in a bad mood with Prince Arnold.If the Duke's army does not win, there will be no future for us. ”

"You're quite prepared." But we don't have to give up.I'll show you how to trust you.Prince Arnold will never kill you.Shouldn't we say we can't kill him? "

"... what do you mean?"

"Prince Arnold is also a stranger."It will be Lord Julio who will judge.His enemies are only the Duke.The others are not enemies. You should be forgiven. "

"... why did you tell me that story?"

"I don't want to be attacked recklessly."

Whoever buys his lord, he shall not betray him when he hears it.

And if Count Adornat doesn't betray him, so will the other nobles.

Marcel had such a plan.

Of course, there was no lie in the words spoken.

"... let's make time for captivity."

“Do that. There are a thousand of them left in the city for defense.Three thousand is enough to build a defensive line.We'll deal with it through negotiation.I don't want to use it, but I'll settle it to your advantage as much as possible. "

“Thank you.”

It is no longer a defeat.

Now Marcel is on the move to make it a better defeat.

The nobles finally realized that.

There was a chance to win.

The first chance is a sure win.

The second time was a thin win.

I missed both of them.

The battlefield wasn't as sweet as the third time.

The Duke's army then split the army into two.

One retreats to the capital and the other remains there.

The palace army was still three thousand.

Arnold was unable to send a pursuing force, as he was not a negligible fighter.
