Chapter 353: 353
"I'll see you first . My name is Charlotte, granddaughter of the Marquis of Zweik . "
"Nice to meet you, Miss Charlotte . I'm sorry I suddenly asked you to do me a favor . "
Leo, who had withdrawn, had received Shall's greeting .
When the volcanic fire broke out, Leo issued a preaching order to Charles first .
He wants me to help extinguish the fire by water magic .
Charles accepted it and left the pursuit to Leo to deal with the volcanic fire .
"No, you can't leave the fire alone . "
Tr an sl a ted by jp mtl . c o m "Thanks for the help . And reinforcements . Good timing . "
"I'm glad you could help me, Your Highness . "
Shall didn't talk about Al again either .
I don't know where the information leaks from .
If the enemy leaks information, it could be Leo and the showdown and make it look like an attack on Al .
"We could have broken the siege for now . Miss Charlotte, how do you think the enemy is going to get out of this?
That was a question of trying Char .
T ranslat e d b y Jpm t l . ｃ oｍ The timing of reinforcements is enough, I know I can see around, but how far can I read the battlefield?
Depending on its ability, it changes what it leaves to you .
"In any way, defeat is defeat . The enemy wants victory . You will assemble your troops and set up a showdown . Because we can't afford enemies enough to build multiple fronts . "
Leo nods one to Schal's answer .
That was the same idea as Leo .
Situationally and Gordon's personality, it's hard to imagine taking a passive maneuver after losing .
Gordon himself has the best chance of a showdown .
"So what do you think we should do?
"Let's gather our forces here, too . Reinforcements may arrive at the enemy over time, but the bigger the army, the more trouble the enemy will have with the food . "
"Great . So let's go . I want you to give me your opinion . [M] All right?
"Yes, I'll take care of it"
Leo, who decided to add Schal to the vicinity, instructed the entire army to enter the castle .
And sent out an early horse to General Harnish .
This is a quick horse to rendezvous .
The two armies set out for the showdown .

A week after Henrik's defeat .
Gordon and William were in the process of reorganizing the entire army .
Of the 22,000 Henrik troops, 15,000 succeeded in withdrawing . Nearly seven thousand soldiers failed to retreat .
Some will have scattered on the battlefield, and some will have fled .
The fact that it was defeated and the loss of 7,000 . That was never cheap .
"Fortunately, most of the losses were made by clan forces . "
William says nothing to Gordon's words .
Because I didn't want to say I was fortunate enough to lose my soldiers .
But I don't deny it either . Because it's true .
Initially, the army that came as reinforcements to Gordon's army was about 20,000, five thousand United Kingdom troops and fifteen thousand clans .
Of which a total of 10,000, five thousand of the United Kingdom Army and five thousand of the clan armies, followed William, and five thousand joined Gordon, and the remaining five thousand joined William's army with Henrik .
From there, the United Kingdom Army and some Imperial Armies left, and the Henrik Army was defeated .

But the majority of the seven thousand lost were soldiers of the clan army . Originally inferior to morale and proficiency, it was placed on the front line and it was significant that it ate the ambush without being able to cope .
There will be a lot of deserters, but that's not what you should think about right now .
Tr a nsla te d b y Ｊp m tl . ｃom It's the numbers that have decreased, but not so much in terms of war power .
That was the common perception of William and Gordon .
"The Imperial Army would rather concentrate on you than you leave . I lead the United Kingdom and clan armies . "
"That would be the only way . Any reinforcements from the United Kingdom?
"Approximately 10,000 . It's all United Kingdom troops . There's no room for soldiers in the clan anymore . "
"In addition to the noble armies and waiting forces that had entrusted Vismar's defense, a total of a little over 60,000"
As for Gordon, it was a disaffected number .
Originally, the Gordon army was 40,000 . Twenty thousand reinforcements added to it for sixty thousand . Though there were seven thousand losses, they compensated with ten thousand reinforcements .
But Gordon's plans should have added more generals and troops from all over the empire .
Of course some troops are joining, but that's considerably less than planned .
Given the maintenance of the base we are securing, there are 60,000 troops available .
Leo's forces against him range from 30,000 to 40,000 . But there is also information that northern aristocracy is moving, which could still increase .
"You need to indulge in battlefield to make sure you win . "
"The question is whether the other side will come on board . You can't choose too blatant a battlefield . "
"Leonardo's character makes this battle, you should want it to end soon . Some disadvantage will swallow and come to the showdown . "
"Long-term battles are not where we want them either . There's also the problem of food . " Tr a ns la t ed by jp mtl . coｍ
With that said, William and Gordon widened the map and what kind of operation would be advantageous on which battlefield .
That's what we started discussing .

That was a sight that was once done many times in the United Kingdom .
Often, that discussion continues and eventually converges in one place .
"Is this still the only place . . . "
That's what William says and points to the location on the map .
It was a plain there .
But the terrain is surrounded by mountains to the north and rivers to the south and can be concentrated forward .
If we keep the mountains secure, we can retain an overwhelming advantage .
"Oster Plains . . . . . . If we secure Mount Haina in the north, there is no doubt of victory"
Oster Plains was a plain almost between Leo's castle and Vismar .
Although somewhat closer to the Gordons at a distance, Leo is also likely to respond to the showdown at this distance .
Some were as large as tens of thousands of soldiers from both armies deployed, and from the Gordons it was the best battlefield .
"The problem is how to invite Leonardo . . . "
"I dare you to move . Make it look like you're letting the whole army go here . Leonardo immediately sees the battlefield and tries to get ahead, but you already occupy the mountain in the Dragon Knights . If it's supposed to work, it's a problem . "
"What if you don't come aboard?
"It's a rethinking of strategy . But I can't afford to go over there . Even if it feels like a trap, it'll come aboard . "
"Fine then . You have one problem left . "
"Yeah? You got other problems?
William nods at Gordon's words .
And put two pawns on the plain .
One is Leo's army, the other is Gordon's army .
Furthermore, William pawned behind Gordon's army .

"The means of fleeing to the side is not this plain because it is inhibited by mountains and rivers . If they block the rear, they'll be pinched . "
"No army to blackmail"
"Northern aristocracy is moving . Stay alert . "
"Even if they move, it's here to decide the battlefield . Considering the distance, there's no time to go around backwards . Besides, if you take the mountain, the dragon knights' alert range will also be extended . Scratch it and show up behind it . "
"Indeed it is . . . "
"I worry too much . In case the enemy shows up behind you, you just need to concentrate on one of them and break through . Anyway, if you don't give me the mountain, I can get around to an advantage on this plain . "
There was no mistake in what Gordon said .
Among the armies confronting the Gordons, at the forefront are the armies of the Leos, and the armies of the northern aristocracy are further afield .
Taking the back of the Gordons is unrealistic .
"Gordon . . . . . . it certainly may be too much of my thinking . But the emperor doesn't move . Isn't that creepy?
"I'm busy with the empire and the kingdom . I don't know which reinforcements to use . "
"Yes, you're right . But isn't it dangerous to think like it's too convenient for us? Can't you assume the Emperor has already sent reinforcements?
"There's no report of the army moving, is there?
"The defeat in Imperial Capital was caused by Leonardo and another, Arnold . If Arnold is in this north . . . it doesn't seem like he's going to do anything extraordinary . "
"I'm too alert . The Empire was his garden . But not in the north . You don't have to be vigilant . "
That's what Gordon said . He laughed and flushed William's words .
But William's face doesn't clear .
We really doubt it because we seem to prevail .
There are those who turn it upside down .
But I couldn't think of anything else .
In the end, the Gordons decided to use the Oster Plains as a battlefield .
