Isaac and the others approached a point ten kilometers to Sonicroft.

He climbed the hill by the road and paused on the spot.

Sitting in a folding chair, the meeting takes place lightly.

"It's dangerous to get any closer. I was in a hurry, so I want my soldiers to rest for the night before it becomes a full-scale battle. It would be nice to set up a camp on this hill."

No one disagrees with Count Lancaster's opinion.

I knew why Isaac gave him a break, too.

- The kingdom of Fartil, unlike the kingdom of Reed, has no streets in place.

Even Isaac, who was on a horse, is feeling tired.

The fatigue of the soldiers who were walking the wet road would be considerable.

It's also important to get courage in formation where you can see it from the city of Sonicroft, but it doesn't make sense to be "tired and unable to fight".

Given the need to give it a rest, Count Lancaster's remarks were reasonable.

"May I have a word?"

Isaac asks permission to speak here.

Everyone's gaze gathered on Isaac.

It was a mixed gaze of anticipation and insecurity about "what are you going to say".

"It said in the book, 'The first night I set up near the battlefield is the most targeted night raid,' but do you have any idea what to do about it?

This was knowledge from a previous life.

I don't even remember exactly in which book I read it, but I remember reading it in a historical comic book or something.

They're going to be after the place called "Take a Break Before You Fight".

It's dangerous to pepper because it's not knowledge in a specialty book, but it doesn't hurt to hear it.

"Camp on a hill and keep your guard tight. That should prevent them from being attacked at night."

Randolph answered this question.

That was an easy answer.

Isaac would have usually endorsed this method, too.

But this time it was not normal (...).

"But they're Marshals Ford, aren't they? Will it be okay with a no-hassle response?

"It's..."

Randolph couldn't answer Isaac's question.

The knight of the kingdom of Fartil, who rendezvoused on the road, brought the information that "a marshal's flag stands at the position of the troops besieging Sonicroft".

Speaking of Marshals in the Kingdom of Rockwell, there's only Marshals Ford.

It was a pretty tough opponent for the Marquis Welrod and Count Lancaster families, a civilian lineage, to deal with.

"Plus they have General Leo. If we get this close, you'll notice us, and we'll have an ambush, won't we?

I just read it in this book of the world, but Isaac also knows about Ford Four Heavens.

Especially General Leo, the one who killed my great-grandfather Jude.

The impression remained strong.

"So what are we going to do?

Count Lancaster asks Isaac.

Because if you have an alternative, I wanted to ask you.

"Let's set up under the hill."

"Please don't do that"

Viscount Partridge immediately denies Isaac's idea.

"It's dangerous to go down the hill. Rivers on the right hand side and fields on the left. And you'll have a hill behind you. If they ambush you, you can't run away."

Beneath the hill there is a flat ground that runs all the way to Sonicroft.

But there was a river on the south side as along the streets.

It's hard for an armed man to cross a river, or to run up a hill.

It's easy to get chased away when you try to escape.

Moreover, fields are spread out on the north side for easy hiding and approaching.

- It is obvious that a catastrophe will happen if we set up under the hill.

This was a common thought besides Viscount Partridge.

But Isaac smiled somehow.

"So it's okay. Have them ambush you with no escape."

Everyone is stuck with Isaac's words.

The people of the kingdom of Fatil and others say, "Are you a crazy guy who gives up his life and enjoys his predicament?" and smile.

"As Viscount Partridge has just said. Under the hill, there is no escape on the side and back, and I get ambushed from the field side. But think the other way around. They won't come from the river because they will be noticed by the sound of water, and there won't be anything like climbing the hill on purpose before launching an attack. The streets and flats in the front have nowhere to hide, so naturally they don't come from you. Look, we've been able to limit where our enemies are coming from."

This is what I came up with the other day because I changed my mind about how to use magic.

Restricted movement in rivers and hills naturally limits the opponent's movement as well.

If you were to launch an attack on an enemy you didn't envisage, it would be a night attack first.

Then it should inevitably come from a direction where you can hide yourself.

I'm scared because I don't know where the ambush comes from.

"If we knew where it was coming from, it would be possible to deal with it," Isaac thought.

"But even if I knew where it was coming from... What am I supposed to do?

Randolph looks anxious.

Because I'm afraid to ask what Isaac is thinking.

"Let's arrange a formation under the hill and attract enemy ambushes. By inflicting pain in the first battle, you can take advantage of future battles."

Of course, Isaac doesn't expect future battles.

"It's impossible to beat a warring warrior opponent," he thought.

For this day's sake, we should have trained our soldiers.

Besides, the opponent is a combat experienced commander, and this one has many battlefield inexperienced.

He thinks he can't possibly fathom in the army of the Marquis Wellrod family, which has only had small exercises.

So I invited my opponent to ambush me and thought about an operation to target the ambush unit.

You must not be made aware of your existence to carry out an ambush.

It seems that there will be no surprise attacks in 10,000 units of the army.

No matter how much, it should fit in about 3,000 to 5,000.

To that extent, you can still win if you ambush them and wrap them in numbers, even if there is a power difference.

- If you are crushing an ambush unit and fighting for results, you can make an excuse for losing the battle against the enemy main unit.

I worked my head to the best of my ability to protect myself.

I had to think about it for a short time, so I was desperate to use my head more than I did to get rid of Nathan.

But he couldn't accept the idea.

Everyone had a sinister look.

"An ambush isn't always coming. Besides, the other guy is Marshal Ford. Wouldn't it be better to be vigilant and prepare for the battle from tomorrow than to be petty?

Count Lancaster seems anxious, too.

The opponent, Marshal Ford, is even the predecessors of the Marquis Wallick and Wilmente, opponents of each other.

They were winning in numbers too, so they were just beating Marshal Ford.

I had assumed that we couldn't possibly win, a civilian lineage.

But Isaac can't pull either.

I didn't want to fight properly because I was such a strong opponent.

"Marshal Ford may be an excellent commander. But our existence should be a complete miscalculation. I'm sure you're even in a hurry. You should always hit your hand at an early stage because you are good and come up with countermeasures. In the first place, does anyone have the confidence to fight and win from the front with Marshal Ford?

"It's..."

I can't say there isn't.

Even if I wasn't confident at every end of the word, I didn't allow Fumiko to affirm it.

"I don't have one. Before the talent, I was on the battlefield for a different time. Then I think you should sharpen the number of enemies at all before you bet on a field where the difference in combat experience is noticeable."

But Isaac isn't.

Youthfulness did not take his side - but the low pride, which I do not believe to be the Marquis' decree, allowed it to be put into words.

It seems that the civilian guts stained in the previous life are hard to get through.

But the way you receive your surroundings is different.

Even Isaac, who had perceived the movement of the Kingdom of Rockwell and was ready, said he was not "confident".

The others can't possibly think they can "win".

Step by step: "Isn't it the only way to find light is to adopt Isaac's proposed operation?" I wonder.

After a lot of silence, Randolph asks questions that became intolerable.

"Do you have any specific ideas?

"Once you're in formation under the hill, make more meals and take a nap than you can eat"

"Hey, Isaac."

Randolph blames Isaac for feeling like he was kidding.

But the unexpected reacted to Isaac's words.

"I see, it's definitely Nolan's offspring"

- Mathias.

It was Mathias I'd been listening to in silence until now, but I pinched my mouth when I heard Isaac talk.

There was something similar to the first lord of the Marquis Wellrod family, so I guess he wanted to speak out.

"In order to make people aware of this presence by cooking smoke and to pretend that they are caught off guard. Naps are meant to rest soldiers' bodies and prepare them for night raids."

"Exactly."

"Nolan was doing something similar. He was vulnerable to front-cut combat. I've been desperate to figure out how not to deal with the enemy properly."

Mathias smiled feeling nostalgic as he looked familiar and Isaac wearing it.

"By the way, what happened then?

"I was pushed off with more enemies than I thought. I thought you were gonna die then."

Mathias giggles, but Isaac couldn't laugh.

(Dude, just read some more air...)

When people say they "failed" because they seemed to be able to take the story in the direction they wanted, they might say "without it".

In-depth reflection that it was a mistake to ask until the result.

"I'm thinking about taking good care of it. Would you mind listening to that and then judging?

Isaac keeps talking about trying to divert everyone's consciousness from Mathias.

He's desperate, too.

I don't want to be a full-scale battle and have a life-threatening retreat fight or anything.

I wanted to have a safe fight because I handled it in a small battle and then I could just sit back.

I guess that desperation was conveyed.

They admitted to forming under the hill.

However, the Earl of Lancaster's army also decided to accompany the Elves on the hill.

Because we can't just empty the heights.

Beneath the hill, the Marquis of Welrod and the Royal Fatil Army were to form a formation.

Isaac is relieved that his wishes are fulfilled.

All you have to do is hope it doesn't turn out to be a handful of "enemies didn't come by surprise."

"Isaac, there's something I didn't tell you earlier. If you want to do something similar to Nolan, you used to do something like this."

Mathias ears to Isaac.

That was an attractive suggestion for Isaac.

But there are also questions.

"Does it work that way?

"Oh, Nolan was making it a success. It was a rare way to just use it where it really mattered. I just wanted to tell them that obviously there are some strong opponents who do this sort of thing"

"Mmm."

Isaac is troubled.

There is only one handkerchief that can be used at Mathias' suggestion.

Multiply the scale with the magnitude of the loss when you lose him and the magnitude of the profit when you succeed.

"Matt, you may have to give up your life, but I need to ask you something."

"I'll take care of it. I'll do anything for you, Isaac."

It was a quick answer.

But that's why I wonder, "Can I risk losing Matt?"

You are reading story The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me" at novel35.com

Because Isaac was a valuable man.

But I decided to take Mathias' suggestion.

It doesn't make sense to give out a usable handkerchief and spare yourself to die.

"Then ask for one job"

Isaac tells Matt about the operation Mathias told him about.

"Dear Isaac, let me go too"

Tommy, who was listening to the explanation, also volunteered for the operation.

But Isaac looks sinister at his application.

"Tommy has a wife, doesn't he? I don't think it's time to risk it yet."

"No, let me go. I still can't work for Isaac."

Tommy has eyes full of determination.

But if you fail, you lose two of your men.

There was just resistance to letting them both go just for risky maneuvers.

"Wouldn't it be nice if I let him go? At times like this, personal motivation is the most important thing."

"Hmmm......"

Mathias told me that Isaac couldn't stop instantly

I stare at Tommy's face for a while and exhale.

"To interrupt if it seems impossible. Like."

"Yes!"

For the first time, Isaac entrusts me with a big job, and Tommy shows his intentions.

"Is your Lord Matt?"

Mathias spoke to Matt.

It's a pattern that can be related to him.

"I am so sorry for your loss, Mathias."

Matt heard about it from Isaac, too, so he lowers his head deeply.

But Mathias gently placed his hand on Matt's shoulder.

"That's what my ancestors did. Descendants have no sin. Sounds like an unscrupulous operation, but surprisingly. Come back alive."

"Ha, thank you"

Mathias speaks gently.

Matt's ancestors killed my wife. I wasn't willing to hit a grudge.

Because it was his idea that sin should be atoned for by the sinner.

"Now Isaac. Looking forward to this evening."

"You're more anxious than looking forward to it"

Isaac was starting to regret that he "might have had too much adventure" at this time.

----------

Territorial capital Sonicroft.

There was more than 30,000 Rockwell Royal Army there.

Commander is Marshal Victor Ford.

He is the proud host of the Kingdom of Rockwell, where Garrett, the current king, will be the fourth master.

It's rare in this world, it's an old man over ninety years of age with a long life.

"The operation seems to be going well. Let's keep this up for another three days."

He was satisfied with the current situation.

Archers defending Sonycroft are steadily decreasing in number.

A little less should have allowed us to safely send out wizards destroying gates and walls.

- Everything's fine.

It was a roundabout operation, but first things like peace of mind.

But there's a report in there.

"Reporting! Discover the Reid Royal Army. We have confirmed the flags of the Marquis Welrod and Count Lancaster families!

"What!?

"Stupid, too soon!

The staff members make a scene in the tent.

There is a time lag until we learn about the situation in the kingdom of Fartil, so the mobilisation speed should be as usual.

No matter how hastily we mobilized the army, we should still have had more than a week.

- An unusual speed that ignores physically unsolvable problems, such as the speed of the decree and the speed of mobilization.

Those who received the report went into a state of frenzy temporarily.

"Don't flatter me! Listen to the report till the end."

A woman who makes the panickers feel successful drinks.

Her name is Charlene Ford.

He is the wife of Marshal Ford's battle-dead grandson.

But I'm not on the battlefield for geriatric care.

She was also known as the head of those called Ford Four Heavens.

Marshal Ford is a talented commander, but he couldn't keep up with that talent.

Since I was younger, there has been insufficient communication and operational failure.

One day, she read Marshal Ford's plan of operations and pointed out, "This way, it'll be easier to understand."

Since then, she has been made to help Marshal Ford explain her plan by chewing it up so that her surroundings can understand what she thinks is an advanced maneuver.

Since then, he has accompanied the battlefield as the lead staff officer.

It's not like those around me don't have anything to think about, but "someone who can understand and explain Marshal Ford's operation" initially convinced me.

However, there were times when the courage was appropriate and it was good to take care of him, and gradually he was accepted by those around him.

"So how many soldiers are coming?

"Approximately 20,000 soldiers seem to be building camps in flats about ten kilometres away"

Those who listened to the report and were on the spot view the map around Sonicroft.

It's something I've spent years researching for this day.

"About ten kilometers west? Looks like there's a hill, but you're building a camp on this?

Marshal Ford confirms what's important.

"No, it's under the hill. We're in formation, surrounded by rivers and wheat fields."

"Stupid, that can't be right. Isn't that the trap that made it look like it?

The hills can look around, and they use their strength to run up.

When you are set up on a hill, you will be given time to respond to the ambush.

Except when it comes to forming near the field.

I can hide myself and get close.

It is a foolish act that just tells me to ambush you.

"It doesn't seem to be a trap. We were watching from the woods, but soldiers from the Royal Lead Army approached the woods. But they didn't even show a bare gesture of being vigilant around just picking up firewood. I was wondering if you could check the smoke outside the tent."

"Let's see"

Marshal Ford makes an immediate stop.

Those who were in the tent also go out.

"Look over there"

I see smoke rising in the direction the watch pointed to.

If they say 20,000 soldiers are eating, they're going to believe it.

"What if they didn't set up under the hill just because it was easy to camp? It is also a struggle to draw river water on the hills. Besides, the Marquis Welrod and Count Lancaster families are weak soldiers. Aren't you at peace bogged down because of twenty years of peaceful times?

One of the staff officers gives his opinion.

The fact that it contains a lot of "I hope so" seems clear, but Marshal Ford is not going to be convinced either.

"No, that just won't happen. Those who led the army at this speed..."

Marshal Ford denied, as he admonished himself that he seemed convinced by the opinion of his staff.

However, I realize that I also have a strong desire to be so.

This operational plan is a masterpiece for Marshal Ford that can be considered a gathering of life.

I didn't want to be disturbed by the famous civilian lineage for being "vulnerable to war".

"Call Leo."

When Marshal Ford orders that, the preaching runs immediately.

"It could be a trap. But don't wait for them to come without doing anything. Let Leo set up an ambush this evening to see how it goes. Does anyone have an opinion?

Marshal Ford looks around, but there was no opposition.

Everyone had abandoned the idea of "waiting to come without doing anything".

Just waiting, you lose this war.

I wanted to start by staging an ambush to see how the Reid Royal Army was doing.

It's not too late to think about retreating or not.

"Thank you for waiting"

Leo was in the next position, so he came right up.

Back to back with a name reminiscent of a lion, he looks like a lean fox.

He was originally a hunter, but was found talented by Marshal Ford when he led him through the woods in past wars.

Since then, he has been entrusted with difficult tasks, such as Operation Surprise, and has even emerged to the General.

He is also one of those called Ford Four Heavens.

"Leo, the Royal Reed Army has arrived at a point ten kilometers west"

"Holy shit!

Leo was surprised when he opened his eyes wide.

The main objective of this operational plan is to put an end to the invasion before the Royal Lead Army moves.

The operation seemed to have failed at the time of the arrival of the Royal Reed Army.

"We can't let them go wild. We need to make a blow first and see how it goes while buying time. Surprise him this evening and disrupt his footprint. Reports indicate a mixed army of the Marquis Welrod and Count Lancaster families.... You're on edge."

"Yes, like that."

Leo laughed niggly.

He's picking Jude up in a war twenty years ago.

It may also be a natural flow to think "again" to their Marquis Welrod counterparts.

"Take about 3,000. And they say there are wheat fields and woods nearby."

"Well, that sounds easy."

"But he's the kind of opponent who's getting his army together so fast and coming to reinforcements. Don't be alarmed."

"Of course it is. Leave it to me."

On orders, Leo returned to his unit.

But although he gave the order, Marshal Ford was feeling unspeakable anxiety in his words.

- Again, I'm concerned that you've sent reinforcements out at this speed.

"Maybe they were spotting all the action? Think about the possibility."

But even the neighboring kingdom of Fartil seemed like no one had noticed.

There should be no one in the Reed Kingdom further afield who can sense the movement of the Rockwell Kingdom.

Those who can do that are beyond the realm of man.

- No one has eyes for everything.

With that in mind, Marshal Ford was trying to calm himself down.

"Wait for Leo's results. In some cases, we'll break the siege of the city and move on to retardation."

Marshal Ford issues an order thinking about when Leo's ambush fails.

If the ambush fails, we must delay the Reed Royal Army against them and make time for the Askis Attack Army.

To do so, the siege of the city had to be lifted.

Because if they remain under siege, they will be sandwiched with the army of the Kingdom of Lead and the army of Sonicroft.

It's a shame we can't let Sonicroft fall, but if we can just drop Askis, the king's capital, we can still leave a winning chance.

It's a hard decision not to stick to your best choices and make a better choice.

But this operation depends on the fate of the Kingdom of Rockwell.

In preparation for these unforeseen circumstances, Marshal Ford had been entrusted with Sonicroft.

But I never expected that unforeseen event to really happen.

With this situation, Marshal Ford was becoming aware that he had been in a hurry for a long time.
