《A king's reincarnation》Chapter 27: The Strategy
Advertisement
The massive hole that leads to nothingness slowly started fixing itself. I watched as the ripped fabric of space and time got sewn back to its former look.
"I'm sorry about that, I accidentaly broke the seal and I almost killed you." I apologized to the God who is standing beside me.
"Don't worry about it. I'm also to blame since I'm the one who asked you to fight me." replied Alvion.
"Hahh, both of you really overdid it. It's a bother to explain what happened here to everyone." said Gabriel as he slumped down with a lethargic appearance.
"Hahaha, we're really sorry about that."
"Anyways, let's place another seal on you. This time let's apply a second and third layer. After that, we'll send you back down there"
Both Alvion and Gabriel chanted the sealing art and placed it on me three times. I felt that binding feeling again within me.
"Anyways, it looked like our fight earlier pushed you through the bottleneck." I said to Alvion when I felt his strength increase again.
"Yeah, it seems like it. Thanks for that, who knew that a fight was all that is needed."
"Anyways, since my work here is done, I shall take my leave."
"Yeah, if we keep you here any longer, God Celestia-sama might come for us."
[RELOCATION MAGIC]
Gabriel Immediately casted Relocation on me and same light shone upon my body.
When I opened my eyes, I'm standing in my room and I could hear a light knock coming from outside the door.
"Come in."
Right after I said that, a maid slowly came in and bowed to me.
"Y-Your Highness, I have been tasked by Her Majesty with escorting you for the day. Is there anywhere you'd like to go to?"
"I'd like to take a look at the Military base for now, can you guide me there?"
I can't just dive into the enemy base without knowledge of their military strength, especially when an unfamiliar factor called 'Magic' exists here.
"Y-Yes! understood, p-please follow me. B-But, is his highness going to the base in those clothes?"
She's referring to the clothes that I wore when I first arrived in this world.
"Yeah, after all, these are the clothes I'm most comfortable with. Why? is it improper?"
"No it looks good! it's just... it might get a little dirty at that place."
"So you're worried about that? Don't worry, it's perfectly fine, besides I can just wash the dirt away, and also, I have lots of these with me. So worrying is unnecessary."
"I-If you say so... W-Well then, shall we go?"
The maid led me to the back of the castle, when we opened the door, we're greeted by the sight of soldiers numbering to around 30,000 training on the open field.
I tried to get a feel of their strength, but it seems I overestimated these people. One normal military soldier from Earth can easily take down 3 of these people in a magicless hand to hand combat. They're too reliant on this magic called Body enhancement
I immediately searched the open field with my eyes and I didn't feel the presence of both of them.
"Where are my older siblings?" I asked.
"I think they're at the Arena right now, would his highness like to go to them?"
"No need, I came to check out the situation at the warzone, so I'll hang around here for a while."
"Understood, please inform me if you need anything."

"Oh? His Highness, the second prince is here!"
"It's Lucas-sama!"
"Good morning, Your highness!"
"The speech you did yesterday was beautiful!"
After seeing me arrive, all the soldiers paused their training and greeted me.
"Good day to everyone, don't mind me, please continue your training."
"""YES!"""
A certain person came running towards me, he looked like someone with a high position.
"Your Highness, Is there anything you need from us? My name is Ron, I'm one of the Generals in charge of the training of these soldiers."
"I just wanted to have a look at the current situation of the war between Jahal."
"Is that so? then please follow me."
I followed him into a certain building and when we entered, I found 6 other people inside. 4 men and 2 women.
"Isn't that..."
"It's the second prince."
"Ron-dono, why is he here?"
"Oh, he said he just wanted to have a look at the current situation with Jahal."
"What does he know about a war?"
"We don't mind having the prince visit us, as long as he doesn't disturb us."
"𝘐𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳." I thought to myself. Naturally, I don't find it that disrespectful since the soldiers are doing an important job. That kind of attitude is expected from them when faced with a royalty who they has no experience in wars.
"Don't mind me, I won't do anything unnecessary." I assured them.
"Our gratitudes." replied the old person wearing a full plate.
"Ron, was it?"
"Yes, your highness?"
"Can you get me every information you have about the enemy."
"Certainly!"
Ron Immediately gathered around 200+ papers full of information.
"Everything Your highness wants is written here. Please feel free to browse through it."
The maid carried all the papers for me and followed me to a table at a corner to avoid disturbing the others. She placed all of them at the table and stood beside me.
"Your highness, do you need a drink?"
"No need, you can just sit at the opposite chair."
"I-I understand."
I started reading through everything at a fast pace finishing an entire page in just mere seconds. The maid sitting at the opposite side of the table was staring at me with wide eyes, Her face says "Is he really reading at all!?"
"My eyes can naturally read words quickly, if you're curious." I said without stopping what I'm doing.
"I-I didn't mean to doubt you, your highness, i-it's just tha-"
"Don't worry, I understand your reaction. Just sit there, relax and wait for me to finish these."
After a few minutes, I finally finished them all.
"I've been wondering why the Kingdom is not sending the immortal blades directly since they're one of the most powerful forces in the continent. It turns out, the three nation alliance between Jahal, Harval, and Volar is leaded by Daso, one of the 5 Demon lords."
"Yes, the chances of Immortal blades winning against Daso is just a mere 15%. We can't make a rash decision." Said Ron who walked over to me from the round table where the meeting with the other superiors is being held.
I stood up and walked over to them. At the table, there is a large map with something like chess pieces placed on top of it. The black pieces showed where the enemies currently took base according to the scouts, while the white ones showed our defenses.

"Battalion D in the East side and Battalion C in the west will be wiped out tonight. Especially Battalion A" I informed them after seeing the enemy's positioning.
"I apologize for the rudeness but, this is not the time for jokes. The Battalion D in the east side is in perfect condition, the same is with the west side and north sidd, it would be hard to annihilate them in one night. Your highness, if you don't know a thing about this, then please do not disturb us." Said the same old man from before with a stern expression.
However, I won't just ignore it when many people are bound to die.
"Look at the enemy's base in the North, the one in the outskirts of the Forest of Bivan. According to the reports, Battalion A is slowly cutting down the numbers of enemies to the north."
"Yes, and what of it."
"What kind of soldiers does the Battalion A mostly encounter? And how many soldiers of Battalion A died while fighting them?"
"93% of them are just knights who are wearing full plate, one that covers the entire body. Since Battalion A is one of our best groups, there are still no casualties."
"Did anyone bring back or even check a single corpse of the enemy?"
"I see no reason for our soldiers to do that."
"All of you are pretty foolish." I said to them coldly.
"Your Highness, we are just doing our duty. We see no reason for you to call us foolish!" said one of the two women who wears leather armor with a bow at her back.
"Tell me, who is the captain in-charge of commanding the enemies in the north?"
"According to our scout, it's Zakan, one of Jahal kingdom's wizards. He is a master of puppetry and illusion magi-"
At that moment, as if he realized something, he quickly looked at the papers in front of him.
"Do you get it now? Those soldiers wearing full plates are Illusions, Zakan is manipulating them using puppetry and the shouts that you hear from them are merely auditory illusions to make them appear more real. All of you have been too conceited with temporarily good defenses and defeating puppets that you failed to see the bigger picture."
"H-How could this happen, how did we overlook this important information. Moreover, what is the enemy planning by sending out puppets and not real soldiers. Are they planning to exhaust us!?" exclaimed the old man.
"minus 40 points for losing composure, calm down. The reports states that the attack force of the enemy at the west and east side is getting stronger day by day. But because of your over confidence in their defenses, you chose to ignore it since you can still repel the enemy. The north side is probably sending away their soldiers to east and west."
"But why would they do that? Wouldn't that put a large opening in their defense?"
"It's just a temporary hole that will soon turn into a deadly trap. Demon lord Daso is planning to personally go to the northern battlefield."
"WHAT!?"
"From what I read, Daso is someone that likes to fight alone, he doesn't want anyone stealing his preys. That's why before he joins the battle, the enemy to the north is sending away soldiers to the two sides. I don't know what caused him to join in. But this is the most plausible explanation right now. At this rate, the entire nation of Elune will fall the day after tomorrow at earliest."
There's only silence in the room, all of them were obviously shaken by the things they found out. Even the maid couldn't help but tremble and put her hands to cover her mouth.
I picked up the chess piece for battalion A, and using my hands, I cleanly broke it in half vertically. I placed both halves at the East and West side.
"T-That piece is made of Iron, I didn't even sense him use Body enhancement, how did he break it so easily and cleanly like that..." exclaimed one of them in surprise.
"Divide Battalion A and the Immortal blades in half and send both halves as reinforcements to east and west.
"B-But wouldn't that leave a huge hole in our defenses!?"
"If we let things stay as it is, Daso will eventually annihilate the entire Battalion A, and when the news of Battalion A's death reaches the other battalions. They would lose their composure to keep up your so called perfect defense. And when that happens, the enemies who are lying in wait will use that chance to deal with both sides. Is this how Elune's captains and generals perform!? All of you can't even think properly now, In a war like this, the moment you lose your composure is the moment you die. I hope you would remember that." I said to them coldly.
"Follow my instructions and split them into half, let the North be defenseless. While Daso arrives at north's battlefield, we will use the additional strength from the Battalion A and Immortal blades to help the west and east side wipe out their enemies. Where the fight is located, Daso will immediately go there. We will lead him by the nose to buy us time. We will move the East side first, after defeating the enemies to the east, we will instantly retreat back to the castle. After the east retreats, it's now the west's turn to do the same thing. If we do it this way, it will buy us enough time to prepare enough magic power for a concentrated attack magic capable of reducing the demon lord's health to around 30%. The Demon lord will surely attack the Kingdom head on after finding out that his prideful self has been played, and when he does, that's when we will release the magic, after that the Immortal blades will finish the job."
All the people in the room were in shock, they didn't expect that a person who just came in an hour ago without any idea of the situation in the warzone, would be able to formulate a plan capable of defeating a 3 nation alliance in a single day in just half an hour.
"H-He's on a whole another level."
"What's with that brain's performance."
"It's just a simple strategy, it's not that much." I replied to them.
They all started to regret the things that they've said to me earlier, they all apologized to me in the end.
But of course, things will not go the way I planned it. That plan is just a mean to earn the people's respect and trust. After all, I'm personally heading out to the battlefield later. That Demon lord might not even be able to get out of Jahal kingdom.
