“…What about us?” the King said.

“Well, shall we have our guards join them?”

William said thoughtfully.

“…Meyer.”

“yes! We currently have two platoons of guards. they’re available any time.”

The captain of the 1st Kings guard platoons replies to King Azupal’s question.

“Well… Duke Elvis.”

“Yes. I’d be happy to borrow it, but I’m afraid not this time.”

“really,” the king said surprisingly.

“This battle is between us, the Elvis family.

We don’t need the support of King’s Landing.

It would be a shame for the First Lord to send out the Royal Capital’s king’s guard to defend a single city.

I ask that the kings’ guard Platoon concentrate on guarding the city,” Elvis said.

“…I see,” the King said.

“And… William, Leila,” Elvis said.

“Yes, Grandfather… We understand… leave it to us.”

William nodded and Leila answered.

I’m sorry.

“So, where do you think we should visit?

Is there a good vantage point?”

“On top of the castle gate, I suppose.”

Takeo tells King Azupal.

“Does it have a good view?” the King asked.

“Quite a good one. And…” Takeo stopped for a moment.

“Hmm? Any problems?”

“No, we have four residents who are probably drunk, if you can deal with that,” Takeo added.

“Oh, you have alcohol? That’s good. Who’s there?” the King asked.

“You’ve met Alan-san right. The manager of the tailor store, the manager of the magic store Taylor, the uncle of the fruit and vegetable shop, and the uncle of the liquor store.” Takeo said.

“Mmm, let’s go there. Is that alright with you two? William, Leila.”

“If we could have some too.”

“I’ll just drink anyway.”

Both William and Leila were eager to hear King Azupal’s question.

“Mmm. Duke Elvis, we have decided on our course of action.”

“Yes, sir.”

Count Elvis nodded.

“Well then, Miss Alice,” the King said.

“Yes.” Alice replied.

“Elvis-san, we’ll leave you to prepare Lady Alice.  I will go to the soldiers’ quarters afterward,” Takeo said.

“Hmm. Takeo… I wish you luck,” the King said.

“Yes, sir. I’ll be going now.”

Takeo and Alice left the hall.

“…Duke Elvis,” the King said.

“What can I do for you, Your Majesty?” Elvis asked.

“I was wondering what you were saying earlier”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t the chief soldier here estimate Takeo and Alice’s party to be 100 men?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

King Azupal’s question made William, Leila, and the first king’s guard squad leader nod.

Smith and Frederick chuckled.

“… You have heard that Takeo had a mock battle with Alice?” Elvis asked.

“Yes, I heard. I heard it was a draw.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Yes. After that mock battle, my soldiers and I conducted a large-scale exercise.”

“Hmm? …Large-scale? …How many?” the King asked.

“How many was it?” Elvis asked.

“One hundred and eighty versus two.”

Frederick said.

「「「「 WHAT? 」」」」

King Azupal and the other four were surprised.

“Well… can I have details of the soldiers?”

William asks.

“I believe it was two platoons of mages, four platoons of soldiers, and two platoons of recruits?”

“That’s right.”

Smith replied, and old Elvis nodded.

“‘ That’… again…’

“A combination of Takeo guarding and Alice attacking.

“……..”

The four of them were speechless.

..

.

“Sigh… the tension has faded somewhat, hasn’t it?”

Leila started speaking.

“Yeah, I guess so. It seems like a piece of cake,” William said.

“Hmm… Duke Elvis, what is the estimated casualty count?” the King asked.

“Well… I would have said 30% for the initial assault… But if Takeo’s plan works, it will be considerably lower.” Elvis said.

“Hmm… That strategy is brilliant and concise. Are you sure he doesn’t have any real combat experience?”

“Well he did… say no.

After mentioning it, it made me think that such a strategy might be possible, but I don’t know if he was flexible or if he just knew the strategy…”

“If this operation goes well… First king’s guard squad leader.”

“Yes, I’ll study it with the King’s city guard.”

And then the door to the hall opens and Alice comes in, wearing a full plate of crimson.

Everyone let out a sigh and said, “Wow.”

Alice’s face took on a look of terror.

“Hmm. Alice, you’re sure you don’t want a helmet? Elvis asked.

“Yes, Grandfather. Takeo-sama is by my side, and he can heal me quickly. Besides, the visibility is limited and it’s hot… it’s hard work.,” Alice said.

“…Alice, you look good,” the King said.

“Your Majesty, I’ll take the full plate you gave me,” Alice said.

“Hmm… I see… the first Chief of the King’s landing guard was like this, wasn’t he?” the King said.

“What? The First Lord?” Alice asked.

“I’ll explain it to you.

The First Chief never wore a helmet.”

“Why is that?”

Leila asked as the 1st Kings guard squad leader explained.

“Ostensibly, it was to get a better view of the battlefield, to feel the momentum… The truth is that it was just hot.”

“… Just like Alice, isn’t he?” the King said.

“Yes. A direct descendant of the first president… do they behave in the same way?”

Everyone laughed.

“Well, Your Majesty, Grandfather, I’m off,” Alice said.

“Mmm, I wish you good luck,” the King said.

“I wish you good luck,” Elvis said.

Alice walked out of the hall.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
