"So I''m also going to use a Dwarf woman named Kerala as a commander."
If we only fight in important wars, we will not have a chance to put people of unknown ability into actual battle, so these simple wars are also meaningful.
In the extreme, just leading 3,000 or 4,000 soldiers into battle would be enough to intimidate the enemy, and Brand Nurham would be grateful.
"Ah, that so called scholarly knight..."
Raviara looked at me a little coldly.
"Perhaps you would like her for your wife? We don''t have that type of person in the back palace."
"Oh, come on, I''m not a s*xy guy. ....... I''m not exactly a man who only hangs out at Raviara''s place."
I visit Serafina''s room, Fleur''s room, and Laviala''s room so that I don''t seem to have lost my footing. But all three of them are so beautiful that it doesn''t hurt to visit them.
I have known kings who have gone to the palace so often that they became physically ill or stopped taking care of their affairs. I try not to let that happen.
"I''m sorry. ....... Even Raviara knows the position of Mr. Arsrod. Fleur is also sure that she is the right person for the job, so she and Serafina chose her. ....... However, it would be lonely to have too many women in the group. ......"
"Don''t worry, we have nothing to do with Kerala. But I do buy his ability."
"By the way, I heard that you were blessed with a child, Mr. Altia. I heard it was a girl.
Now I made a subtle face.
"If I were a born king, I would definitely have put you in a monastery. ......"
"You are as selfish as Raviara, Arsrod-sama."
What? You need to be spanked.
I quickly put my hand in Laviala''s side.
"Mr. Arsrod, you''re weak there. ....... Oh, it''s itchy! No! Ha-ha! Ha ha ha!"
I know. We''ve known each other a long time.
I''ve known you a long time.
I led a force of 3,500 men south.
I did not join Brand Nahum, but rather attacked the coalition of lords in the northwestern part of the province of Olbia to prevent Brand from being pinched.
The province of Olbia is mountainous, and this is true here as well, so guerrilla tactics would be very difficult to deal with.
"Kerala, I will give you 300 men. Fight with them."
Yes, sir.
Let''s see how you do first.
A Kingsguard does not normally command many generals. But as long as they are in my camp, they may even lead thousands of men. I want to see if I can do that.
Raviara, on the other hand, went into the mountains when I gave her permission. Maybe it''s her elven blood, but she seems to get more fired up when she enters the woods to fight in a conflict. I trust that she is not such a strong enemy and that she will be all right.
After a while, Kerala returned with a cool face. She looks so calm that it is hard to believe that she is on the battlefield. She looks as if she is reading a book.
It''s different from a dignified expression. He looks more like a civilian officer than a general. But then again, when you''re dealing with a large army, someone who looks like a rough mountain man doesn''t really fit either.
"You''re back here awfully early. Did something go wrong?
Three enemy generals have been killed.
"Hoh! Well done for such a short time!"
That''s quite an accomplishment. It''s a battle in the mountains. It''s almost impossible to wipe out the entire enemy. In such a situation, you have done well enough.
Perhaps your profession is to fight in wars?
Come to think of it, since she is a female knight, she could be a swordsman or a general or something like that.
"No, I don''t have such special talents. Therefore, I have taken what I believe to be the best course of action based on the ancient and modern books of the Art of War.
She is as calm and collected as ever.
"In a way, it''s appropriate for you to fight. Are we there yet?
Yes. Yes, I am obedient to the Lord''s command.
In the end, Kerala went on to take five more enemy generals from there.
This was more successful than Raviara, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time. However, since Laviala mainly acted alone, a simple comparison may not be a fair one.
We inflicted a heavy blow on the enemy lords, and we suffered almost no damage. Brand Nahum would be grateful. As an operation, it was a great success.
Especially, we have learned a lot about Kerala''s strength.
She may not be able to do anything spectacular, but she deserves credit for her ability to steadily defeat the enemy. I am sure that she will not make a big mistake even if we entrust her with a large army.
He was the best in this battle.
On the way back to Maust after the victory, he said to Kerala, who was sitting next to him on the horse.
"I am honored to hear you say so.
I had not heard that before.
"Kerala, what exactly is your profession?"
"Actually, ...... it''s a pretty special profession, and you often don''t believe it. ......"
Kerala''s face clouded over just slightly.
Even this woman can look troubled.
"I don''t doubt your word. Tell me."
"Yes, I don''t even know what that means, but I''m akechimitsuhide and ......."
I''m out of my depth.
I think I heard that name somewhere: .......
--The Hao-oh''s intuition is right on the money after all.
Don''t pat yourself on the back like that.
--Arsrod, be careful! This woman may betray you. Akechi Mitsuhide is her profession.
But I thought it was getting interesting.
I''m going to ride this Akechi Mitsuhide.
After all, he was Oda Nobunaga''s chief vassal all along, wasn''t he? The evidence is that they were of tremendous value.
"Can you hear that Aketi something?"
"No. Does your profession have a voice? The only thing was that it triples your knowledge of the profession. ....... Perhaps it''s the name of a now-defunct ceremonial office or something. ......
"Yeah, I don''t think they can hear us."
It seems that he is fundamentally different from my Oda Nobunaga.
--After all, it seems that only a man the size of the High King can have an ego when it comes to his profession.
You pat yourself on the back even in such a place. .......
