I don't know why he was attending the 'guy's (emphasis added)' sixteenth birthday
"Then dare to ask all Aiqing, what plan do you have in mind? Say it to eliminate Pingna's ignorance. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Faced with Sochar's questioning, Helm stood up.
"Indeed, as His Highness Pinna said, a head-on battle is an unattainable opponent, and in this case, it may be possible to take advantage of it by taking a different approach. β
"That's right. But there is nothing to worry about, the empire needs victory now. β
"I see. Then, let's see me maneuver the enemy to the fullest. β
"Oh, how?" said Thornal, leaning forward.
"We must carry out the evil ways to the end. Listen to the famous enemy too much love for the people. So, gather the goblins and kobolds together and attack the markets, villages, and caravans around Arnous. Burning farmland, killing livestock, poisoning wells. This east, west, and north-south infiltration made it completely in ruins. β
"Is this a scorched-earth tactic? But won't this provoke a counterattack from the enemy?"
"Nope. In the end, it's just the subhumans and thieves. It has nothing to do with us, and we don't know ......"
"I see, but in that case, the Mud Bombardment will go and drive out the sub-creatures and thieves who have become rampant. What to do, are you going to fight?"
"It's ridiculous to fight against an opponent you can't win or something. In the event of an encounter, our army can disguise itself as a caravan and wave affectionately, take off their armor and blend in with the villagers, or flee across the border to a neighboring country, and then take the civilians they see on the road as hostages, and shout at the pursuers that if they want these hostages to live, don't chase them. Since they will protect the homeless, we will gather the refugees who have lost their homes and have no rice to cook, and instigate them to go to Arnous for help. Then we can send people to infiltrate the enemy's hinterland among the refugees. β
Sochar was speechless, and after two or three times he spoke, but he stopped talking. I thought to myself, "Is it really good to let him do this?" Re-impressed with the subordinates in front of you. Because of this, the shocked reactions of others are also extraordinarily violent.
Helm was a military general who knew the terrible situation of the so-called tactics of turning the enemy's base areas into scorched earth. Despite this, even if you face the battlefield with dignity and cause such a battle consequence, you will be seen as having a thirst for killing. Because of this, coming up with such a dark and insidious method would itself be unexpected to the outside world.
Pinna was so angry that she drew her sword with her eyebrows upside down.
"Huh, do you know shame, Helm, a bastard like you, are you still a soldier with a sense of honor!"
Viscount Helm was part of the first graduating class of the Order led by Pinna, which made her even more angry. I can't imagine hearing this tactic from the mouths of my past partners, no, calling it a tactic is unpleasant, and I really can't imagine seeing such a vicious strategy.
But Helm asked rhetorically: "Will a decent battle be won?"
"Let's not talk about that. I only ask you where is the glory of the soldiers, and what is the reputation of the empire?"
"If it fails, it's okay to let the dog eat the fame, glory or something. It's good that a soldier is in good spirits, but if you lose, please forgive me. It's not worth it, it's not worth it. I would rather live and enjoy the glory and happiness than death. β
"Where's the old one, where did you go?"
"There wasn't a need to do that before, so I didn't do that. I also pay attention to reputation for the sake of saving face. But when you meet an opponent who can't be defeated head-on, you don't care about that. β
Indeed, Helm's words are reasonable. And Sochar's instinct felt that it would have an effect. If you sneak up on the Mud Bombardment in the midst of the people, they will be forced to become suspicious.
In order to fight back, the population will definitely be involved, resulting in casualties. If the victims are killed by urban street fighting, they can use this propaganda as an enemy to accuse the other party of indiscriminately killing innocents. If you do this, the next time the people will hate the country on the other side of the door and become hostile to them. The enemy then had to start paying attention to his rear. It's so painful. (Let the aggressor plunge into the sea of the people's war...... China seems to be a successful example of the People's War.)
"Your Excellency Helm, what is the idea for us to simply disguise ourselves as enemies and attack the settlements?"
In response to Mitola's suggestion, Sochar shouted 'Good!' and then sit upright.
Mitola was born as the third son of a great merchant, and since joining the army, he has been a stalwart in the military station department responsible for distributing and transporting supplies.
Because of this background, rumors about Mitola colluding with some businessmen to resell materials have been endless, and in fact there has never been any situation, Mitola has done the work of transporting the necessary materials to the places where they are needed, and the bad comments have been fully dispelled with actual results. As a result, he was heavily promoted, and now he has been given the title of Lord.
"Well, that's a good move. Stigmatize the enemy. How about attacking the people of the city, looting property, abusing women, and burning down houses? The enemy will face both civilians and the Empire at the same time, and they will not be able to maneuver as easily as they do now. β
"That's right. And it's a good thing that we can prepare materials and funds on the spot. After all, what kind of clothing did the enemy wear, and did you have any samples to refer to in order to prepare camouflage clothing?"
"When I was on my expedition to Ginza, I saw the outfits of the enemy. Especially after becoming captives, their appearance is deeply imprinted in my eyes. β
"Me too!" Kardashda chimed in.
Compared to the previous two, who were promoted based on actual results, the Marquis of Carrasta was one of the soldiers who climbed to this position by virtue of his background.
For him, who was born as the eldest son of the marquis's family, it was not very necessary to obtain meritorious service. Because of this, even if you don't bravely advance on the battlefield, you will not be ostracized by others. On the other hand, the occasional merit will be rumored to have been transferred from someone else. However, he is not the type to be completely incompetent. Perhaps because of his gentleness towards those around him, he mingled with his self-confident colleagues, careerists, and harsh colleagues.
Sochar stood up with a smile on his face.
"Helm, go ahead and start your battle as soon as possible. β
"I see. Then I'll go and get ready. β
That kind of thing can't be called warfare. Pinna shouted, "Please stop, please." But her words were ignored and thrown aside. Pinna now looked at Sochar with tears in her eyes.
"Brother, please, please stop!!"
"What are you doing, Pinna, I'll talk about it later. I'm busy right now. Next is Lufrews' next attorney, how are the things that were previously instructed going?"
From among the civil officials, a white-haired young man came out.
This is a man with an expression that is too thin and looks yin, and he doesn't feel a little energetic.
"The preparation of the draft special law on the administration of the special jurisdiction has been completed. In addition, the selection of key members is almost complete, and as soon as the bill is passed, the purge of the main and faction will begin. β
