My Villains Chapter 430

65. The Peak of Spring (5)

In recent years, three boys have been gaining the most fame in the East. Two of them were earls fighting in Longdale.

Garwyn, who became the guardian of the new plateau following the Marquis of Landry, and Os, the successor to the Marquis of Eabon and nicknamed ‘Ariaga’s Little Fox’.

These noble boys led their respective vassals and soldiers to fight against the mightiest Elector Count in the Empire. The forces led by the two young earls numbered at most about a thousand, so the Duke of Avillambus gave strict orders to capture them before March was over.

However, the two boys moved their units quickly to avoid the main forces of the enemy and battled for the advantage. Although they didn’t win a decisive victory, they somehow kept their power and were still annoying the duke.

Garwin and Auss were making an amazing struggle, but compared to the legendary performance of the thirteen-year-old baron, it was a little inferior.

Baron Ruyan, the lord of Delhi Road and the owner of Cheddar Castle, had neither a trustworthy vassal nor a soldier to risk his life on command. Under his command, there were only conscripts close to bandits and rookie mercenaries.

However, the boy had courage beyond common sense and a magical power to attract people. It was undeniable that anyone with even the slightest eye for people would become a hero of the generation. It was only natural that he was called the ‘descendant of the dragon’ and that the minor nobles of Antrum gathered around him.

Of the hundreds of friendly soldiers I had left behind, half led by Utequai were also accompanied by Baron Ruyan.

The thunder giant was a great helper to the young dragon who longed for power. The young dragon was a very good guide to the thunder giant who represented the mother goddess’ wrath.

They scattered about 600 troops around High Castle and engaged in guerrilla warfare. Ruyan and Utequai, who had been showing off their presence for over ten days through the fog, disappeared when the fog cleared at the end of March.

They weren’t the only ones who disappeared with the fog.

The ‘Giant Knight’ Ankir White Stone and the ‘Painter’ Hilter Seymour’s heavy cavalry, who used Asag, the ‘Land of the Dead’, and Zelntree, a forest on the border, as shelters, to rob the supply route, also disappeared.

The troops sent from both regions of Odenlock and Abiden are the ‘Shield Maiden’ Grania’s mercenary squad led by Heila, and the friendly soldiers led by the ‘arrogant’ Liam Summersong and the ‘New Maggie’ Gisela Winged, the direct troops of the Silver Prince. also disappeared

No, he hasn’t even been seen blowing his nose since High Castle collapsed.

“Hmm.”

I glanced at the map again.

In Longdale, which leaned toward the southeast of the plateau, there were horse boards with ‘Garwin 600’ and ‘Oth 400’ written on them.

After thinking about it for a while, I placed the seven pieces of unknown location one by one in an empty space.

‘Rujan & Antrum 550’ ‘Riam & Gisela 500’ ‘Aviden & Odenloc 400’ ‘Ankir 300’ ‘Grania 150’ ‘Utequai 50’ ‘Heila 50’.

“It’s just two thousand.”

Of course, this is just an estimate, so it won’t be exactly 2,000. It could be less than 1,500 or more than 2,500.

In this world, 2,000 troops are enough to be called a large army. Well, the emperor and Zacharis were just mobilizing tens of thousands of people, so it looked relatively insignificant.

In any case, this force is the final victory for the allies.

Before the Emperor and Zacharys reach Obdorf and the Plateau, respectively, the final hand must be thrown to decide the course of the war. If it is too late, we will not be able to make any choices.

“...X feet. I have no idea.”

That would be the case, and the last detailed plan that Prince Ulkar had told me was to occupy Eisbobalt.

– Once Eisbovalt is occupied, what will happen after that?

– Do it according to your judgment.

-...yes?

-Since the situation of the war changes from moment to moment, how can you know the future a month later and issue an order in advance?

– No, Your Highness. However, you still need to set some basic guidelines.

-The best thing would be to attack Topal’s Centenary Castle, but if that doesn’t work out, take over the whole of Ob Dorf. If you feel like it, you can hit the enemy from behind, or if you don’t feel like it, you can retreat.

– What is it? There are too many options. no context.

-I told you. Move at your discretion. i believe in lord

-Our prince is talking about big trouble again. If you trust people so carelessly, you will be in big trouble.

The prince only chuckled.

...Of course, I’m really grateful that you trust me.

But no matter how it is, shouldn’t I have tipped you off?

I clutched my head and speculated on Prince Ulkar’s plans.

It was unlikely that they would retake the high castle they had given away and start a siege again. It would not be bad to recover the occupied province of Past, but it did not seem to have a big impact on the general trend.

“Then what’s left?”

The eyes go to the south and north of High Castle occupied by the enemy in turn.

Blademan and Asag.

Maybe Prince Ulkar...

“Sir.”

It was Icebovalt’s gang leader Deozen, who ran into the office interrupting his thoughts.

“late.”

“...that can’t be. As soon as he heard Matheson’s words, he ran up.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, hold out your hand. Today, I will look at you with one finger.”

When I put my hand on the black ice propped on the table, he quickly opened his mouth.

“Isn’t that what it is?”

“...isn’t it?”

“uh.”

It is extremely rare for Zahakar and Baluin to reach out directly to land.

This is because if the twin kings, already pretending to be the masters of the whole sea, project their power onto the land, it is certain that the powerful aristocrats of the land will rise like bees and check them.

“...What kind of plan is that?”

Although the back of the head is itchy, there is no need to worry seriously.

Count Akele’s parent-child relationship is second to me, and the Duke of Eyland is clearly a vassal of King Milanol.

Even though Prince Ulkar is in conflict with Lionel III, it does not change that he is a prince. If Akele strikes us in the face of the Imperial Army, that would be considered a serious act of betrayal and treason at the same time.

In short, even Zaharkar and Baluin could not commit such madness.

After calmly organizing my thoughts, I asked what the last piece of information Deo Zen had brought.

“The last is the most important.”

He paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Duke Avillambus has started a retreat.”

“...Avilambus is making a comeback?” As my eyes widened, Deogen nodded with a serious face.

“It was news from five days ago, so the duke must have left High Castle by now.”

“No, suddenly why?”

“There was no way to find out the details.”

“Did you get all your soldiers?”

“It is not. Altzenberg’s army lost most of its troops, but Strom’s army lost only a few.”

Based on his words, I rearranged the enemy’s piece board.

“The troops deployed in the area of Fast and Antrum remain the same.”

The board written ‘Vermillo 2500?’ was placed in the Past region, and the board written ‘Ozan 1000?’ was placed on the road with Antrum.

“There is no news from the cavalry that is holding Lord Ankir in check.”

“Yes sir.”

A board with ‘Picord 1000?’ written on it was placed between Zelntree and Asag.

“How many troops came from High Castle?”

“That doesn’t make sense. Instead, the sergeant guarding the supply route from Topal to Obdorf predicted the number of troops remaining in High Castle.”

‘??? 1500?’ was scribbled on the high castle.

“then. Did the Duke of Avilamber and the Prince of Savellard leave High Castle?”

“you’re right.”

After quietly counting the numbers, he filled the final board.

‘Avilambus & Savelad 6000?’

How long do you want to look down at the map?

As I rolled my head to make my forehead feel hot, I slowly parted my lips.

“I didn’t expect you to ask for such advanced information.”

“As you said the other day, I am like a bedbug attached to you.”

“...so?”

“If the ruler dies, not only me but all my family will die too.”

“There were already rumors spreading in the back alleys that I was a renegade bastard. It was probably spread by those nude converts.”

I unconsciously scratched my eyebrows.

It was because he remembered what he had whispered to Atalanta in bed one dark night not long ago.

“The moment the Imperial Army enters this city, you will have to cling to the entire plaza or abandon your hometown and run away.”

Deogen smiled, which was rare.

“But I hate both. So, shouldn’t we struggle for the victory of the master?” I stared into his motionless eyes and nodded.

“...great job. Go ahead and tell Goth Rob to come in.”

“Yes Nari.”

He stopped Deogen who was about to leave the door.

“Oh wait.”

“Tell me sir.”

“I’m warning you just in case, but don’t do anything that hurts innocent people. If you want to rule here in the back streets until you die of old age.”

He smiled again, bowed grandly, and left the office.
