After Cornella's ambush, A beautiful woman with black hair came, it was Mellfisa, she came to see the situation.
"What are our losses" ( Mellfisa )
Nein answered the question
" 10 of our troops died and 5 people were seriously injured but that's not a problem, about 6 walls of the building collapsed and there were holes in the walls too " ( Nein )
That's a summary of what happened during the war.
"Alright, good work. The 3rd Cornella Knight Order namely Crimson led by Aizen, are they the same people we fought in the Dragon Lizard strategy?" ( Mellfisa )
The Dragon Lizard Strategy was a strategy used against Dragons that were below the Wyrm level.
"Yeah, since there's only 1 Master this time, though I can't resist their escape" ( Nein )
"Is Aizen strong?"( Mellfisa )
"Yes, but the dumbest thing is that he used the Saber under the pretext of ambushing" (Nein)
"Stupid, they are consumed by their own arrogance instead focusing on duels and not war, it seems they have to step down from the 'great throne' " ( Mellfisa )
"...What's your next plan?" ( Nein )
"What do you mean?" ( Mellfisa )
"I don't know how they are suddenly in the middle of the city, if the elite 1st army 'Frozen' infiltrates in the same way, we can't fight with the existing troops, please send help" ( Nein )
Mellfisa refused and gave her explanation.
"No, they can't possibly carry out another ambush after failing once, it seems better to increase our troops towards Gamir, and destroy the 6th Knight Order 'Black Cross'. We should join our forces at Doran's direction and destroy the Knight Order 'White Cross' " ( Mellfisa )
"Is that okay? Then our allied countries that are in the direction of Harlen will be alone" ( Nein )
"Don't worry, what's more, their opponent is Cornella's allied country, even if they won, Black Cross and White Cross already lost by then, will Cornella's allied forces help them and attack us?
There's no way they must be busy returning to their own country and that's their end, and it's no use even if Fiora shows up, I heard she's just staying in Cornitia.
She will never realize that she died because of her pride." ( Mellfisa )
"...But, our allied forces will not remain silent as a victim of war, they may hold us accountable" ( Nein )
"Did you forget? The Knight Order that leads is the Knight Order of Inarcia, even the captain is Master, they can't be used as a sacrifice" ( Mellfisa )
"Baron Derja huh, and that master...Duke Ina? she said she recently became a master and looks to be in her 18y.o" ( Nein )
"Isn't it well known that we will look young when we become Masters? I also have never seen a Master who can be so young in my life, well never mind that they and their enemy are about 400-500 troops apart.
They will definitely lose without a Master, if there is a master they can still catch up to the difference in strength but we won't know, are you saying the allied countries will hold them accountable?" ( Mellfisa )
"..." ( Nein )
"They will do it even though they will lose the many troops they sent from a weak country? Of course not. They will do anything to help us, to stay allied with us.
Even if they don't want to help it's fine because there will be other countries who believe in our victory and want to ally with us." ( Mellfisa )
Nein admired Mellfisa's way of predicting the movements of enemies and allies, the solution she came up with really sounded like it would work out well.
"(She is amazing, apart from having a strategy in various situations, she has also thought about making us a profit and overcoming our allies, she thought of everything, no wonder the enemies call her the Cruel Witch!)" ( Nein )
Suddenly, Seevant came with an emergency message
"Your Majesty! A case has contacted us!" ( Seevant )
He knelt before Mellfisa.
"Alcasus? ah this must be about selling Adamantine class equipment, when are they going to sell it here?" ( Mellfisa )
"For that...." ( Servant )
"What?! there's no one?! what are you saying?! there's no way they could miss this opportunity?!" ( Mellfisa )
"According to our Intel, either Nordin or Sandorin, decided to sell 100 pairs of Adamantine equipment to Cornella..." ( Servant )
"THEY SELL ALL OF THEIR STOCK TO ONE SIDE?!! ARE THEY STILL THAT DON'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENS IF CORNELLA IS TOO POWERFUL!" ( Mellfisa )
Nein who was behind gave a statement.
"This may be due to the summoning of the meteor, they may have known about it earlier than the others" ( Nein )
"!! Meteor Summon?!! ( Mellfisa )
"Yes, it was Alcasus who forbade the summoning of meteors, but because we forbade that prohibition. Alcasus was forced to interfere"
"Idiot elves! Just because they're bored! ( Mellfisa )
The elf in Mellfisa Mind Like : "you agree don't you?" said it with an annoyed face.
"Shut up!" ( Mellfisa )
"?" ( Nein )
" Tch! Because it's like this, we start the war! When Golderia's reinforcements are finished! Start the preparations!!" ( Mellfisa )
==============================
At a Camp in Cornella
Alice went to Marquis Jiorne who was Cornella's chief officer.
"Thanks for everything, now it's my turn to take the position of general commander, Count Jiorne" ( Alice )
"..Of course I've been waiting and the good news, I have ascended from Count to Marquis not too long ago" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Hahaha, I forgot that you are now a Marquis because of your great contribution to Trevold's war, sorry for that" ( Alice )
"No problem, it's too good a position for me, but... looks like we really use all the palace Knights" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Right, Aizen will also join" ( Alice )
"I heard we also bought 100 Adamantine equipment from Alcasus" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Oh, the news spread so fast, it was so shocking I didn't expect them to sell all the stock" ( Alice )
"Your Majesty, I have a strategy may I share it with you?" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Let's move to another place" ( Alice )
Jiorne and Alice enter a camp to discuss war strategies, inside there is a map.
"Based on the info from Intel that just arrived, our enemy and the camari were added to the Nivalin knight order.
The one containing Golderia has swapped places with the Knight Order of Cold Steel" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"..and the center... looks like they are gathering troops around Gamir, then we should also focus on Gamir, send 100 troops to Gamir" ( Alice )
"No Ma'am, we have to go according to the previous plan" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Hmm, we can't win in Gamir right at this rate?" ( Alice )
"We don't have to do that. Gamir and Doran are our Anvil, they must survive"( Marquis Jiorne )
"Anvil??" ( Alice )
Alice thought of an anvil and a forging hammer.
"Are you talking about the hammer and anvil tactics plan? The ancient tactics?" ( Alice )
"Right, that's a tactic where the infantrymen fight the enemy and hold them against the more mobile cavalry then flank the enemy from the sides and rear. It's a widely used siege tactic and its tactic is like a hammer hitting steel on an anvil, hence the name hammer and anvil" ( Marquis Jiorne )
Description: Infantry are walking soldiers, Cavalry are cavalry soldiers
In this way, the hammer is the troop that has the highest mobility, the steel in place is the enemy, and the anvil is the infantry soldier who holds the steel or the enemy.
"That means..." ( Alice )
"Yes, the infantryman in the middle will act as an anvil near Gamir and Doran, the soldier who acts as a hammer will come from Harlen" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Interesting, are you saying we only rely on Infantry soldiers to fight the 2 strongest elites of the empire who are Masters? Aren't the troops in Harlen our allies? Do you want them to play Hammers?" ( Alice )
"Please listen to me first, around 500 of our troops and it is known that Inarcia has 450 troops there although it doesn't look balanced in numbers, some of them are tier 6 magicians who will make it difficult for our troops, it's difficult for us to win by normal means" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"I and Aizen can handle that, I don't agree but go ahead" ( Alice )
"Yes! We will deploy 100 elites with equipment from Alcase to Doran" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Doran? shouldn't that be the foundation?" ( Alice )
"Yes, together with the Knight Order of the Black Cross which has already arrived, all will move to Harlen" ( Marquis Jiorne )
So the Knight Order of the Black Cross will help Cornella's allies in Harlen.
"!!" ( Alice )
"There will be 1000 Troops joining our allies, and they will finish all of them towards Harlen, our enemy only has 450 troops we round to 500, there must be 2 Masters if she wants to keep up with us.
The overwhelming military power will become the Hammer celebrating our enemy, after that, half of the allied forces will occupy Shemiah and Plague which will become an empty mountain.
Then together with the rest of our soldiers will continue towards Gamir which is our base, at that time Inarcia's central army will be surrounded by me and Your Majesty, then destroyed on the spot" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"Hmm" ( Alice )
"The only thing we're worried about is the possibility of the White Cross holding 500 Troops at Doran, but as long as they're not slower than a hammer passing through the Plague, there's no problem." ( Marquis Jiorne )
Alice held her head and thought about Marquis Jiorne's plan.
"(...On paper it's not impossible for them to come forward and join our Black Cross army)" ( Alice )
"Indeed only 500 ordinary Troops as long as there are no 2 Masters" ( Marquis Jiorne )
"(Marquis Jiorne)" ( Alice )
"They all will perish this time!" ( Marquis Jiorne )
