The first to respond to my statement were the 8,000 troops of the Breastmire family. The Brestmire family is my family, so it was natural, but in fact, it wasn’t the only thing. I rebelled against Biene Franz, so if Biene Franz wins, the Brestmire family will be wiped out. Rather, they are trying to get attached to me early.

Next were the central nobles. Who would be upset if Biene Franz, the leader of the new aristocracy, takes power next? Of course, these were the central nobles who were hostile to him. As such, the central nobles led their private soldiers and joined me.

“If you’re going to send it, just send the soldiers. Why are the nobles coming again?”

I guess they were afraid that I wouldn’t return the soldiers after the battle was over, but honestly, the presence of nobles would only be a hindrance. However, since there was no harm in increasing the number of people, I accepted it.

The number of troops thus gathered was 100,000. Meanwhile, Biene Franz’s troops numbered around 25,000. 4 times the difference in troops. I couldn’t lose this even if I wanted to.

“Whoa~ I finally feel like everything is going well.”

I finally found the correct answer. Most of the nobles led their troops and joined under my banner, and Vinnet Franz only had 250 million troops of his own. Honestly, you can win even if you fight with your feet.

When 100,000 soldiers gathered, I led the nobles south and stationed 100,000 soldiers around the capital.

Even at that moment, Vinnet Franz was in the process of personally dropping the castles in the east one by one. We still had some time left, and during that time we were gathering troops and enjoying acting like heroes.

“Seventeen notable nobles, including Georges Brestmeier, commander of the Northern Army, Fron von Rittenheim, the second son of the Duke of Rittenheim, and Ilias von Ebenhardt, the eldest son of the Count Ebenhardt, gathered here to protect the imperial family. May your Majesty rest at ease.”

After stationing 100,000 soldiers in the fields around the castle called Königsberg on the outskirts of the capital, the nobles entered the capital with only a minimal number of guards and met the emperor. The emperor nodded and encouraged each nobleman by holding their hands.

“I will not forget the loyalty of my servants.”

“Your Majesty! These are heartwarming words. I just do what I have to do as a faithful servant of the Empire.”

The second son of the Duke of Rittenheim said. For your information, this guy was the second son of Heinrich von Rittenheim, who had tried to kill me before, but he still liked me. That’s because, thanks to me, Heinrich von Rittenheim was overthrown and he gained the right to succeed to the Rittenheim family.

In any case, the morale of the nobles, who received attention from the emperor that would have been difficult to receive in peacetime, was skyrocketing. After leaving the imperial castle, he was treated even more like a hero. When the residents of the capital learned that 100,000 soldiers had arrived, they knew that they were now free from the risk of looting or arson, and out of relief, they treated the nobles leading the reinforcements as heroes.

“Long live the central nobles!”

“Praise to the heroes who saved the country!”

Every time nobles, including me, passed by, crowds of people gathered around the capital and cheers were heard, so the nobles who received this kind of attention for the first time couldn’t help but get drunk. I thought so because I had received such cheers many times in the past, but the nobles with me clearly felt intoxicated by the atmosphere.

‘hmm… ‘This is kind of bad.’

There was nothing good about being so intoxicated by the victory atmosphere before the war. Because pride always calls for carelessness. but…

‘Well, I guess it’s okay since the troop gap is 4 times greater.’

In terms of the game, it feels like the enemy team has 5 people, but there are 20 allies. It’s a fight you can’t lose even if you want to. This means that just because you let your guard down a little, it does not mean that it will lead to defeat. Moreover, the enemy is on the offensive side, and our troops are on the defensive side. There is even a geographical advantage. The allies will win, and Biene Franz will meet a different ending from the original story.

There was news that the Dorok expeditionary force in the east was annihilated. The Western Army, Southern Army, and Central Army were completely destroyed.

It is said that the Dorok Kingdom army fought in a way that cut off the allies’ supply lines and led them into a thoroughly delayed war, reducing their own damage and increasing the damage of their allies. In short, they starved him to death instead of fighting him.

It is said that without a single proper battle, deserters came out one after another in our army, and they split up in groups of twos and threes to run away, but either were caught in the enemy’s pursuit party and died, or they climbed into the mountains of the Dorok Kingdom army and became bandits.

I should have been sad because my ally had died, but at the same time I was sad, I felt that this was an opportunity. All armies were annihilated. The eastern sector forces became rebels. What will happen to the military after the local forces are annihilated? Since the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th figures in the military have all disappeared, this means that I, the 5th figure, will become the 1st figure.

“My heart is already shaking.”

To be the number one figure in the military in your mid-20s. My heart is pounding so hard that I can’t sleep. I thought that maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to live alone in this world instead of going home.

Separately from that, the strength of the Northern Army increased from 100,000 to 110,000. The reason was simple. Recruiters scattered throughout the country had returned after recruiting soldiers. People were excited about the first civil war in hundreds of years and joined the allies, saying they would drive out the rebels. Thanks to this, the number of soldiers in the allies began to increase in an instant.

And when Vinnet Franz reached the front of Arcadia, the number of our soldiers numbered 130,000. It was more than five times the size of the enemy.

Meanwhile, I was becoming friendly with the nobles who had led the soldiers. It was better to be friendly with them. That was because they were the ones who would rule the world after winning this battle. If you become friends with them, the knowledge you have now established will be of great help in the future.

“So, at that time, when those Lekjits struck down their curved swords to kill me, didn’t my subordinate throw himself in and block them instead of me? Thanks to that, I’m still alive.”

“You had such a valuable experience! Hahaha!”

Even while the 17 central nobles gathered around me were becoming friendly, Vinnet Franz continued to approach the capital. However, to me, this move by Biene Franz only seemed like a last struggle. Our troops number 130,000. Enemy troops 25,000. It was just a pity that he tried to do something even though there was no way he could be his opponent.

I was mistaken until now.

The victory or defeat of a war was decided before the battle began, not after it had begun.

If you create a win situation, you have no choice but to win no matter how you fight. The problem was creating the situation.

“Now that I think about it, I heard that Prince Georges is called the Kirin of the central nobility. What kind of mercenary skills are you planning to show me this time?”

Someone asked that, and my answer was simple.

“Inhae tactics.”

Push with numbers. It was simple but the most efficient method.

Didn’t Han Shin, who is called a genius in mercenary skills, also say this? When asked how many soldiers I would like, I answered that more is more. I agree with that 100 percent. The more soldiers there were, the better. The more soldiers there are, the more tactics they can use.

And a group of nobles who had been waiting for my answer heard that and started laughing out loud.

“Hahaha! That’s a masterpiece! If that’s the case, I’ll definitely win!”

“As expected, Lord Georges has a heart that even Binet Franz can’t imagine!”

“Hey! Vinet Franz can never be imitated!”

“Hahahahaha!”

As we talked and laughed and talked like that, I felt like I drank too much and fell asleep.

But it was strangely noisy outside. There was the sound of metal clashing against metal, and there were screams and shouts.

Actually, something like this has happened before. Soldiers who drank too much alcohol fought each other.

“What the fuck… Is it another fight?”

I went out to the military camp without any armor.

“Hello! Everyone stop fighting! Your commander-in-chief has arrived!”

But at that moment.

“Georges Brestmaier is over there! Catch and kill him!”

“What? I am your commander in chief… Huh?”

At that moment, their flag caught my eye.

Their flag featured a yellow eagle. That was the flag of the Franz family.

“enemy attack!!! It’s an enemy attack!!!”

Only then did I come to my senses.

This was not a private fight between soldiers.

Vinnet Franz launched a surprise attack.

With only 25,000 people, against 130,000 people.

“Isn’t this a crazy guy?”

It’s 25,000 to go first against 130,000. It was literally hitting a rock with an egg. I’ll show you that there are things in the world that don’t work no matter how hard you try.
