The Strategist Knows Everything

Troops that can be manoeuvred independently. In modern times, I proposed and was accepted by Dear Dio as a special unit of the military, an American Marine Corps and a guerrilla corps that corresponds to things like the British SAS.

Master Dio's current position is Commander-in-Chief of the Army. I mean, he's the supreme commander of Velis. So we can build an independent unit if we get Dear Dio's permission. Although, naturally, I can't go without permission from Master Kaguya.

Master Dio will do well around here, so I have to figure out what to call a unit.

Master Dio tells me that the number of troops that can move independently is five thousand. More than that, because we can't keep up with supplies and troop replenishments.

No matter how well you fight, there will be sacrifices. I just have to split up there already. The question is, how many battles can you name in those five thousand?

"Sounds like you're having a problem, huh?

"Right...... Every soldier in the special forces is of course proficient, but a good commander who commands it is essential. Five thousand divided into five thousand people. As for placing each general, so far, what is decided is Micana, which has the speed to mount ambushes and roundabouts. Nicolas with steadfast command and unbreakable tenacity. These are the three captains of the Ars who have the experience to be flexible in any war situation. Later, I want two generals with overwhelming aggression and one who excels in witchcraft."

Micah sighs beside me. I know why. Because it is too desirable.

Already got the three of us, the tough generals. Still, I want more overwhelming strength than moving alone.

"Can't I answer Yukito's request by myself…………"

"I'm counting on you. But I'm not as optimistic as I think Micana alone can beat the enemy."

"…… I see. Now let me give you some information so you can rely more on it."

Saying so, Mikana says, then shuts up for a while. Somehow, he's a face he doesn't seem to want to say if he can.

"If you don't want to, fine?

"No, not me, I thought Master Yukito would hate it..."

"What do you mean?

"…… I have an idea of an amazing magician. Perhaps if it were just magic, he would be comparable to Master Kaguya."

"Is there such a person? You know exactly what that means, right?

"I learned about it at work the other day."

So I knew. I have a job that Micana is hanging on to all the time.

It is the protection of the woman who was placed in the king's rear palace. Since the beauty gathered from one end exceeded a thousand graciously, and some of them were thought to have died, those who gathered them in one place and had a place to return are returned as politely as possible, but others have no place to return.

As I said earlier, some people are already believed dead, people whose families have died, people who don't know where their families are. And someone who was originally alone.

It's Mikana's job to think about the future of those who say that.

"You mean the man who was put in the king's backhouse, right?

"Yes. His name is Erica Furnill. The Red Lotus Witch and the feared one, the queen of the land that Varys destroyed."

"Queen? How many people?

"I thought it might be twenty-three this year. Seventeen forced him into a political marriage, and three years later Velis declared war and destroyed the country. It's just that he was abducted a little before the declaration of war and supposedly died, so I was wondering if his predecessor kidnapped him."

Back to back with a pale tone, Mikana's face is quite angry. Well, I know you're angry, but now I'm not surprised at what the King did. Instead, it feels like I did it all the time.

"Is there naturally no place to go... what was it like?

"You've calmed down. Could you please meet me and talk to me? Because he seemed to be looking for a purpose to live."

I snort at Micah's words. If you are an amazing magician, I would very much like you to cooperate, but before that, I was interested in who you are.

I can't help but notice that my eyes are almost blind to a busty adult body wrapped in a black robe. Turning a gaze to say that here sucks before I'm rude. Anyway, he's the one who's forced to live in constant exposure to that kind of gaze.

Erica was sitting in a chair. I tried to get up when I came in, but I took control of it by hand, so I could figure out Erica sitting with me standing up.

Magic is in the late nineties. Intelligence and combat skills are also in the first half of the nineties. Other than that, I was the first to see the charm of more than a hundred. I scold myself for not coming here looking for charm.

Platinum blonde hair and black robes contrast terribly and leave a strong impression. And the green eyes that look straight at me had the depth of a forest.

You're beautiful. I thought. Naturally, it's impossible, except for the beauty, because he's the one chosen by the Predecessor, but I've been watching Kaguya and Sofia lately, and I've been getting a lot more scrutiny over the appearance of women. Still, I didn't think she was beautiful because Erica probably had something to say about the color of an adult woman.

"My name is Yukito Clay. It's a pleasure to meet you. Dear Erica Furnill"

"It's an honor to meet you, too. The Master of Arklight."

Was it my fault for the humidity in the high voice?

No, it's not my fault. I now purposely reassembled my legs with clothes with slits in them.

He's asking me out. What a stupid idea. I guess I'm trying to see what kind of person it is. Perhaps they think I've come to buy a beautiful woman who was in the king's rear palace.

Though I'm not wrong in saying I'm here to buy it.

"We don't have time, so let me just say it out loud. Could you lead the magicians of the new unit I lead?

Unexpected. Erica gave me that look and immediately stopped blushing and putting her legs together, guessing that I didn't find value in myself as a woman. Was it still embarrassing? Well, you even see your thighs.

"That is…… may I say that you will buy my arm as a magician?

"Yes, there are no more magicians in Velis today than you. Of course, just because I said no, I'm not going to do anything, so just answer as you please."

"Dear Erica. I guarantee the words of Master Yukito. Yukito will never break his promise."

Micah says so from behind. Erica worries with a difficult face for a while when she hears that.

Honestly, my offer isn't very complimentary. Erica doesn't have a lot of options.

He wants people who have nothing to lose to come to the battlefield. That's a very cowardly word. I'm intentional, I don't know what to say myself, but it sucks.

But I just don't feel happy for this guy sitting here. Of course, it's my own speculation.

This man is not a powerless woman. I am now free from violence and power. This person is free to live at will.

"As a magician, I've never been asked to. The two kings wanted me as a woman."

"... Do you dislike it?

"No. Glad to hear it. I don't have much choice, but so far I have not been able to make one. That's a lot better. It's not a bad idea to fight under you. However, there are conditions."

Erica shows me one finger in a fascinating motion. I felt seductive, probably because my gaze had gone to the busty chest that wobbled when I moved my arm. Erica just put her finger up normally, so it's totally caused by my lower heart.

"You have the freedom to study magic. What I like is witchcraft. And I couldn't let that happen here these days. Of course, don't worry, you won't get your hands on dangerous things, okay?

"Any number to that extent. Is there no later?

"Later? Hey...... now your kindness is enough. Kind men have been around for a long time."

"I think I'm normal…………."

Saying so, smiling at me, Erica got up from her chair and knelt at me.

"Erica Furnill, by her name, pledges her allegiance to Yukito Clay."

"Then I swear by this name I will not betray you."

"Hehe, we have a contract. From now on, I am your man. What can I do first?

"Well, would you stand up right away? The clothes……………"

I have trouble finding a place for my eyes. Erica made me laugh even deeper at my reaction, even though she didn't have to say it.

One left. I want a general who can take charge of the main offense of the troops. I don't think so. I didn't find anyone that convenient.

Personnel equipped with martial arts as individuals, capable of directing breakthroughs, destructive assaults. The closest is General Paules, but General Paules is in the border guard. The General of the Border Troop just can't pull through. I've already been forced to incorporate Captain Ars. We have no choice but to find those who have not yet shown so much of a headline in the army, or from somewhere other than the army.

"Sounds pretty hard, huh?

"Right. You can't see the people I'm looking for."

I say that while walking down the hallway of Royal Castle with Lord Dio.

There are many who have personal martial arts. But for the most part, people who say that are too stupid to be honest with me. I'm too confident.

"I'm worried about what's going on."

"Um, yeah. Wouldn't it be a good idea to change your perspective?

"Perspective? Right. You don't have to bother with the status quo, and you don't mind if I say it's not over now."

"Yes, yes. All you have to do is grow Yukito. A powerful general that other nations fear."

Saying so. Bye, Master Dio. I say and walk in a different direction than I do.

Sure, there are things I raise, but then you have to listen to me a little. Wishes are best for younger people. The younger you are, the better, including future expectations.

"I wonder what's wrong"

"Hey. Husband. If you're in trouble, I'll give you a hand, okay?

"Ren. You're telling me not to stand behind people all of a sudden, right?

"I don't realize. My husband's bad, huh? So, if you're looking for someone, I'll help you out, okay?

Ren says so like a coward. Speaking of which, lately, the job I give Ren is like a transmitter, and I didn't turn the job to make the most of Ren's abilities.

"I didn't even say that. Too vague."

"How vague is that?

"You're younger than me and you have arms. That's all. The younger the better."

"Do you have arms in the middle since your early teens... aren't you there? If he was here, he'd be in the corner by now, right?

"Um, you know, you're under-identified and you're late for birth, or"

"If he's low-status and he's late for birth, he knows, right?

I react to Ren's words. The people who follow me basically have nothing to do with their identities. I'm low myself.

"I do come from a village on the border, where I was a soldier at first, but I have a man who was active during the civil unrest before this and leads about fifty troops. He's fifteen years old, but from what I've given him, he's the one who says it's okay to be born more."

"What effect did you have?

"He was a rebel, wasn't he? He's not in the central battle, though. He went into the enemy formation alone with everything and slashed the sorcerer. Thanks to this, the army can't use magic. Borough loses. I'm talking about doing it three times."

Rumors like this are taily, but if it's true, it's a big arm. Besides, you're not wrong about targeting a magician. Though somewhat reckless.

"I want to see you. Can you find it?"

"Give me a day. So I'll find out."

"Please. What kind of thank you would you like?

"Prepare a delicious meal!

He smiled and told me so. Ren ran away without making any footsteps.

She's easy to understand, after all.

I already had a few days left until the party to invite the messenger, and I couldn't get the time inside, and I finally used my free time to go see the rumored boy Len was talking about.

I didn't have much time, so I looked at the status and thought I'd just go home. I saw the troops that were going to conduct intense exercises in the outer periphery of the city, a little further from the king's capital, and I fought. No, not to say troops, but to look at the boy in the midst of them who emits an international discoloration.

"Rumors are quieter. Absolutely"

"Indeed. That's amazing."

An exercise between fifty troops, with the personal martial arts of the boy who cut first, has almost been settled. That one has comparable powers to Captain Ars.

When I gazed closely, I managed to see the status even from a distance.

Combat power 92. Intelligence was more unfortunate than General Paules, but I can handle it if I tell you around there.

I feel like I found an unpolished gem. It would feel like you found the original stone.

If, for the sake of his low intelligence, he sees the weak parts of his troops crumble, he must be the child that Kang works for.

"That's awesome pig. My husband would have easily dropped it in a pit or something."

"It would be easy to drop now, wouldn't it? But when he grows up, it's hard."

The boy, who just finished the exercise with a victory, is delighted with his fellow troops.

"Roy, or... I wonder if the last one is him"

"Do you suddenly want a thousand people rate? Absolutely not, huh?

"I guess it starts with about a hundred people. I'm in charge of the rest."

"Don't ask for directions or anything, do you?

"It's okay. It's up to me, and there's a lot of people around. If you want to get on with it, it hurts."

Saying so, I walked out on Roy.

Then a few days later, when the messengers arrived and asked me to finally start the party, my new unit was safe and welcome the establishment.

His name is Independent Mobile Unit Knox.

I end up mass-producing black coats that are mine, cheap and instead of uniforms.

When the elite wrapped around a black coat aligns, it is exactly reminiscent of the night.

When I finished my greeting and thought about making more noise about the inauguration, Len gave me an urgent message.

There is a suspicious group at the border. and
