2341 Beginning of the war, that 15 ~ Magic Capital ④ ~

"- The dead are minor, but hundreds are missing. The casualties are counted in the thousands."

At this rate, the injured can count to ten thousand soon.

Shane Sereno shouted when the concordat meeting concluded with a report of the damage. The expression was not irritating, but no one had the courage to break the silence in the tense air.

Elsa, also a representative of Arnelia, calmly broke the frozen atmosphere of the meeting. Aristo had been a representative of the military, but Elsa, who knew that he could not influence with his poor mouth, had stepped in directly.

“I will make a statement. It has already started to snow. There are many casualties, food supplies cannot be procured locally, and if the battle is prolonged, much effort will need to be devoted to food transportation. As a result, the number of assailants will be reduced, morale will be low, and the battle will be prolonged. Why don't you try to reconcile once?"

Do you want me to hang my head on to the people who surprised the Allied forces when they asked for help?

"I won't say that much." However, anything can happen on the battlefield. Even if it started out trivially, the wound only kept spreading with each fight. Then it's important to stop the fight while the wound is still blocked. Once you can't turn back, you'll have to fight until one of them falls. Let's just say it's the worst outcome. ”

"There can be no peace in the battle for justice. Not to mention, if the other party is offering to surrender, it is impossible to bring about peace from our side. In that case, I'll only fight until the opponent falls. This is a battle for justice."

When Shane Sereno finished speaking, a voice continued to chant that he was right. At some point, the meeting became a synonym for Shaun Sereno, and the voices of the other minorities were silenced. Dryan, who seemed to be the only one who could talk to each other, remained silent, his arms crossed, Muse was not here to back him up, and Rayfan was gone for the sake of his country's stability.

Elsa was horrified by the fact that the Confederate Army was soon almost becoming Schoenseleno's personal possessions. I don't understand what was happening while I avoided proactive intervention and stayed on the back burner.

Elsa could not stop feeling the cold sweat of the war in Oranzebull's hands, because the war had opened up in the middle of the pre-war arrangement.

Shane Sereno, who was often silent, clapped his fingers on the table slowly, but the movement of his fingers suddenly stopped. Everyone's gaze gathered.

― ― I will launch a total attack.

Before Elsa rebutted the words, some of the lords took their seats.

“I've been waiting for that word!”

I don't want my army to take the lead!

I'll tell you the invasion route and how to do it --- King Dryan, do you mind?

It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, you don't have to ask me for my opinion, right?

Dryan replied coldly, not in a mood, with his eyes twitching. The fever of the lords, who felt Dryan's anger at the way he answered, fell a little.

Of course Guruzardo and I will participate, but can you choose the way and the invasion path?

"Of course, it's in the kitchen. It's probably more efficient when it comes to Gruzardo."

"Now, if you'll excuse me for once." I'd like to hear from Arnelia's representative about the wounded in our forces. Can we talk outside the tent for a second? "

“Yeah, I don't mind.”

Elsa ran after Dryan, who was leaving quickly. I don't think anyone can say that I was more comfortable with that.

Dryan suddenly stopped in the tent as he moved around and came to his side. Elsa noticed immediately that it was surrounded by sensors and that there was no leakage of sound.

So, you haven't heard from Alphilees?

I don't have any. That's not what I was planning on doing. ”

"Should we assume that something unexpected is happening after all?" We haven't heard from them either. Because of this, we lost 200 of our squadrons. I don't know who it is, we're going to retrieve the wreckage of our people. ”

Wreckage, not a corpse. There is only one thing it means.

Is there a calamity?

"I know, but it's too local for that." Or it is possible that Kalamiti is moving on his own. I don't think that all of Romansland's forces are under the control of Alphilees, but they may be losing their helmets more than I thought. ”

"Hoop?"

"There is no ethics of war, there is no shit, we are each other."

Elsa was surprised that Dryan had inadvertently used dirty language, and Dryan coughed and replied.

“Anyway, if Romansland thinks of delay as a tactic, it's true that Schönselleno's methodology is the best way to defeat it. The Allied forces will not stop fighting at night until they have broken through the first level.”

"Are you blind to the dead and the damage?"

"Of course. Gruzardo would be unjust if he didn't join us, but he doesn't want to stand on their arrows." Moreover, Jaeger's ability to use a bow differs from that prevalent in the Allied forces. It has a range from three times the normal range, and it is fired from heights by Explorers, skilled hunters, and archers. The damage will increase while I see it. Besides, Alphilees told me to stay away from the second gate. I'm sure you're up to something. "

I only have a bad feeling about this.

Elsa trembled at the thought of Alfilise's personality. Although the Knights Templar was attached to it, it was a good excuse to intervene in battle, as long as the Romansland was used by the beasts and monsters.

Should I intervene or should I still see the situation? There was no reply from Miranda, and Elsa had full power. Dryan looked up at the sky as the snow gradually grew stronger.

"Don't get rough..."

Yeah, definitely.

Elsa unexpectedly looked up at the sky and resented the cloudy weather that symbolized the weight of responsibility on her shoulders.
