Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t have a mental illness? For Albrecht, the severity was slightly worse than that of an average person.

    He also believed that he was the reincarnation of God.

    It was a horse that was the incarnation of the god of war who governed the wars and fights of this world.

    However, that was not the belief of Albrecht alone.

    Every time Albrecht went to the battlefield and commanded his soldiers, he led as if he could clearly read the minds of his opponents, and thanks to his leadership ability with great sense, he was never defeated.

    Therefore, the officers and soldiers under Albrecht also believed that Albrecht was the reincarnation of a military god.

    Of course, there were some who did not believe

    While watching Albrecht, who never lost, everyone thought at least once, ‘Is this really real?’

    Overwhelming military leadership that makes even sane people doubt.

    That was Albrecht’s strength and greatest strength.

    Nowadays, Albrecht’s men were literally like fanatics, and even had the belief that if they died while fighting under their warlord, they would definitely go to heaven.

    That’s why Albrecht’s soldiers were strong.

    It was so bad that there were no enemies.

    —–

    The Duchy of Münden, Clemens’ stronghold, fell in an instant.

    Clemens retreated with the remnants of his army, but Albrecht was furiously chasing after him.

    So Leona had two options.

    One was to gather troops and stage a sit-in at Savoia Castle, the home of the dead Blois, located in the middle of the Duchy of Münden and the Kou Dragan Castle, the capital of the Krusenstein army, and the other was to retreat to Kou Dragan Castle.

    Leona chose to retreat without hesitation.

    That’s because he thought that Albrecht’s army could use some kind of trick to take down Savoy Castle.

    Leona thought highly of Albrecht.

    His war skills were real. There was no one in this world who could win with troops equal to his.

    But that was all. Albrecht had neither outstanding intelligence nor an administrator like Leona or Felix.

    That’s why Leona wasn’t afraid of Albrecht. Albrecht was the greatest military commander in the world, but he did not have Franz Mayer.

    Soon, Albrecht advanced towards Savoy Castle. He left 20,000 soldiers in Savoy Castle. He would just wait a while and then surrender when the time came.

    Franz Mayer therefore had two options.

    One was to go north from the Duchy of Munden to target Albrecht’s rear, and the other was to go straight south from the Duchy of Munden and enter Koudraggan.

    In terms of military strategy, it was correct to go via the north. This was because it was possible to cut off the opponent’s supply route and target the back of the head at the same time.

    However, Franz Mayer did not aim after Albrecht.

    From the perspective of Albrecht, who was the ultimate professional in war, he was probably reading Franz Mayer’s strategy literally.

    In terms of strategy, diplomacy, and internal affairs, Franz Mayer was far superior, but when it came to war alone, there was no one who could beat Albrecht.

    Albrecht could have read Franz Mayer’s strategy and set up an ambush or launched a surprise attack to destroy Franz Mayer’s and Leona’s forces individually.

    Therefore, rather than engage in a strategic battle with Albrecht, Franz Mayer decided to join Leona.

    So one month later. Franz Mayer was able to reach Koudraggan Castle.

    —–

    “It’s been a while.”

    Leona greeted me wearing her usual black plate armor and red cape.

    “Your Majesty, I am sorry for not being able to visit you often. Work has been busy in the Carter area.”

    “Actually, I tried to criticize him for that, but… I just needed to know. There must have been a situation for you too.”

    “Thank you for your understanding.”

    Leona looked at my legs. I could feel her guilty gaze.

    “Actually, there was something I wanted to give you.”

    “What is it?”

    Soon, what her servant brought was a long box. When I opened the box, there was a wand inside.

    “It is a staff made of wood on the outside and an iron core embedded in it. Do not break easily and swing when necessary.”

    “Is there anyone who would take a beating from a lame person with a cane?”

    “I will look after you out of pity.”

    “Hahaha!”

    I couldn’t help but laugh at her joke. I tried walking with a cane. It was definitely much easier to walk.

    ‘I didn’t know it would end up like this… ‘

    Phew. A sigh came out of my mouth. A cane at this age. It sure looks pitiful.

    “Franz Mayer.”

    “Yes, Your Highness.”

    “I’m sorry.”

    “I’m saying this quietly, but it’s okay. Your Majesty, please do not feel guilty.”

    She lowered her head. I walked up to her and patted her on the back. Truly, she is a woman who takes a lot of effort.

    “Your Majesty, I’m fine, so don’t cry. Let’s think about the future rather than the past.”

    “As for the future… ”

    “This is Albrecht. Isn’t it right around the corner?”

    Leona nodded. Albrecht was literally right around the corner. We are about to drop Savoy Castle, so we will reach Kou Dragan within two weeks.

    “I heard that Albrecht goes around saying that he is the reincarnation of the God of War, but I think it is true that he is the reincarnation of the God of War. Just look at that ability.”

    “So, does this mean we will lose?”

    “I didn’t say that. When Albrecht enters a war, he is sure to win, but he does not know what to do before and after the war.”

    She nodded. The lack of long-term perspective was a chronic problem for Albrecht.

    “That’s why our team doesn’t have to win. A draw is all it takes. If you survive the war well, you will definitely win the next phase.”

    Our opponent is good at war, and we are good at things other than war. So, no matter how you survive the war, you will definitely win.

    “So? Is there a strategy?”

    “What about you?”

    There is “”

    “Then… ”

    I thought about the Three Kingdoms for a moment. I wanted to imitate Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.

    “How about writing it down on paper and unfolding it at the same time?”

    Leona laughed.

    “That’s fun.”

    We each got a piece of paper and started writing down our strategy with a quill pen. And soon, we will unfold the written strategy.

    [Dispersion]

    [Dispersion]

    We looked at each other and nodded. It seemed like they were thinking of the same strategy.

    —–

    2 weeks later.

    Leona’s troops, 80,000. Clemens’s defeated soldiers, 30,000. Franz Mayer’s troops, 80,000. A total of 190,000.

    Leona divided the 190,000 army into two. It was the Krusenstein group and the Mayer group.

    Therefore, Leona herself stayed at Koudragan Castle, and Franz Mayer fortified the mountain in front, built a temporary fortress, and stationed himself there.

    The distance between Kow Dragan Castle and the temporary fortress is 50 km. Because it was connected by a road, it was a distance that could be covered in three days at best, or in one day if you was in a hurry.

    The reason for this arrangement was simple. If all 190,000 people were crammed into one castle, not only would it be difficult to supply supplies, but Albrecht could have ignored the fortress and gone all the way in, setting fire to the village.

    However, if you divide the troops between the two fortresses, you can protect the village, survive longer with the same food reserves, and the two castles can support each other more easily.

    Albrecht laughed loudly at this.

    “Hahaha! Krusenstein. I thought he was great because he was the loser of the world, but even though he had far more troops than us, he didn’t come out of the castle because he was afraid of us.”

    Krauss, Albrecht’s agent, pointed his head.

    “Your Majesty, this is not an easy situation. Think about it carefully. Krusenstein will not leave the castle like this. In that case, we, who have a long supply line, will be at a disadvantage. In the end, shouldn’t we return to Johannesburg when our supplies run out?”

    “Who said we would leave it alone until the supplies ran out?”

    “Can you do something?”

    Krause decided to point at a straw. At first glance, it seems like there is no answer. The enemy’s engineering corps was capable, and the temporary fortress built on the mountain was truly solid. Moreover, if you attack the temporary fortress, reinforcements will definitely come from Kou Dragan, but if you ignore the temporary fortress and pass by, the supply line will be cut off. It is a situation where there is no answer.

    But Albrecht might have a way. This man is the reincarnation of the God of War. Of course, I didn’t seriously believe that, but if you look at his abilities alone, you could say he was the God of War himself.

    “Well, just watch. I will definitely pull this cowardly vixen out of her den.”

    Albrecht thought. According to the common sense of military strategy, our troops are at a much disadvantage. But Albrecht was not captivated by common sense. His always free way of thinking always led him to victory.

    I will show you a magical tactic that writers who rely on reason, such as Leona or Franz Mayer, can never imitate. It was Albrecht who made that promise.
