Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill Chapter 104

Published at 23rd of August 2021 01:23:05 PM

"Well done Samuk Castle. I dropped it safely. Thank you all for your work."

The clan assembled key ministers to launch a military debate.

We started with a story about totally controlling Samuk County from now on.

We dropped Samuk Castle, but the remaining forces still exist.

If we don't beat them all down, we can't say we totally took control of Samuk County.

However, since there are not so many remaining forces, it was thought that it would be less time consuming to drop them.

Determine who exercises control over the remaining forces. It didn't make me or the Canale County Governor.

Then we were to discuss the main issue, the strategy of Belzd suppression.

"Roselle first. What does your lord think?

"More than ever, we should speed up the invasion."

Asked by the clan, Roselle said so.

Roselle, who had participated in several military discussions and had made remarks, had gained a lot of appreciation from around her. There are now a lot fewer things to insult because they are young, and the nobles are also listening to Roselle's opinion.

Clan originally trusted the power of my appraisal, so he seemed to think Roselle's opinion should be heard.

"The enemy probably still hasn't got a full attitude to fight because they wouldn't have thought they'd be attacked so fast. It would be very advantageous if we could contain the enemy's important base in this gap."

"Hmm, I have the same idea. At some risk here. But I think we should hurry and invade. In order to invade Belzd Castle, you must drop Starz Castle in front of it, but Starz Castle is known as the Fortress of Difficult Attack. Dropping Starz Castle with the defense consolidated would involve considerable sacrifice. If we can contain this place with less sacrifice, it will also be easier to drop Belzd Castle"

One voice after another agrees with Roselle and Klan.

I agree because I'm going to be able to finish the fight soon too.

If you think you're going with this policy with nothing to disagree with,

"Wait, wait, wait. That's not a good strategy."

That's what Mireille said.

A little unexpected.

At a time like this, I thought you were the type to tell me to attack with a bang, but Mireille disagrees?

"Admiral, have you not heard the news that your brother has been sent to the enemy?"

"I'm listening to that. Thomas must have been sent to Beltzd Castle as commander."

"Then don't you see we should attack you a little more carefully? My brother's best tactics are surprise attacks. Identify the enemy's weaknesses, and if there's a gap, they'll poke you there with an exact surprise attack. If you rush in too fast, you might get hurt."

"Hmm... I'm sure the Lord knows the most about Thomas... but I don't want to kill my brother, so don't even see him putting out passive measures"

"Oh, come on, are you kidding me? My brother is now an important enemy figure. If I kill you, it'll be for my birth, but there's nothing you don't want to kill me for. If I'm right in front of you, I'll take your neck without hesitation."

"... don't you have feelings for your family"

"What can you say about you trying to kill my brother to take over the house?

……

The wordless clan returning to Mireille's words shut his mouth.

But I have trouble getting too much clan upset.

So far, Mireille is one of my men.

I need to be careful.

"Hey, Mireille. That's too many words."

"Hmm? Uh, I'm sorry."

Mireille also seemed to know that she had problems with what she was saying, and she immediately apologized.

"It's just a statement I made to increase my chances of winning the battle, not thinking of my brother, so you have to understand."

"... I know you have no sympathy for the Lord, but I don't think you can strike here long enough to drop Starz Castle."

"I'm not telling you to slow down anything extreme. Raising it now would increase the risk of creating gaps, wouldn't it? That's not a good idea."

"You want me to continue marching at the same speed as I do now?"

"That's right. Atashi thinks the current speed is the best marching speed that can combine enemy soldier alert and speed"

"At the current march speed, can Starz Castle be dropped?

"I don't know. Our enemies will be ready pretty quickly, and if we can consolidate our defenses, we should use some method to drop them."

"Do you use undercover mercenaries, like you did when you dropped Samuk Castle?

"That should be difficult. The enemy is not stupid either, and it should be predictable that the cause of Samuk Castle falling so fast is the result of a covert detective. They should also hire undercover mercenaries to come and prevent their working activities. No matter how awesome a secret detective is, it's going to be hard to get the job done with caution inside."

It's something I don't know about that area unless I ask Fam, but I do feel that if I'm on guard, my chances of success will drop considerably.

"But Mireille, how can we drop it if we do that?

That's what I asked.

"There are many ways to do this. Abbreviating enemy generals, spreading false news and confusing enemies, fishing out soldiers in castles, pretending to be a truce and deceiving, there's a lot going on anyway, but, well, you don't know which one works best at the moment. So first, we should let them gather information. Even if you can't do it, can you gather information? Well, you may not be able to infiltrate the castle to get more information, but just gathering information from the outside can be a lot different"

It was a convincing opinion.

First you have complete control of Samuk County, then the invasion of Belzd doesn't suddenly drop Starz Castle either, you also need to drop a fort on the county border, so you have time to get the information.

I thought Mireille was right.

Looks like the clan thought so too, traveling without going too fast in the march.

The strategy was determined by gathering information on Starz Castle and then working out concrete measures again.
