97 Episode 4 Rhosa Island War Record Vol.2 "Relief Co... (1/2)

The news that the Lemurian Empire had landed on the island of Rosa quickly spread throughout the world.

However, many people decided to remain calm.

For example, the Kingdom of Tretum.

The Kingdom of Tretum, for example, was far away from the island of Rosa, and there was no need for them to interfere in the affairs of the island, as they were considering changing the state religion from Western to Orthodox.

The Kingdom of Edelna is also a Western Messianic nation, but it is allied with the Lemurian Empire, so it likewise does not intervene.

The medium is ......

Needless to say. There is no way that the head temple of the orthodox sect would protect the pirates of the western sect.

The Kingdom of Foulds has a different religion, so it is not important.

Therefore, there were no countries that would give a helping hand to the Knights of St. Rosa, also known as the Rosa pirates, .......

Where there is a god who abandons, there is a god who picks up.

King Cerda had immediately begun to make preparations for rescue.

”I didn't know it would take so long to prepare .......

King Chelda - Raus I - sighed.

Originally, Raus I had been preparing for revenge against the Lemurian Emperor.

His policies were opposed by many people, including his son. ......

He could not move his army so easily.

Therefore, in order for Raus I to invade the Lemurian Empire, in addition to strengthening and reinforcing the army, he needed to make various arrangements to stabilize the country and take care of political problems in advance.

In particular, he had to strengthen the fleet.

The first king of the Kingdom of Chelda had taken a large number of ships from the Lemurian Empire and briefly controlled the Album Sea, but ...... that was a thing of the past.

Of course, none of the ships from that time remain.

While the Lemurian Empire had more than 200 galleys, the Kingdom of Cerda had only around 100 galleys.

Even if we assume that the Lemurian Empire will leave a certain amount of ships in the Aether Sea to secure sea control in the northern Aether Sea, ......

I would still like to have 50 more ships.

That is why Raus I was requisitioning merchant ships and building new ones.

In the meantime, the news that Hercule had landed on the island of Rosa reached the ears of King Raus.

For Raus I, this was both fortunate and unfortunate.

The fortunate part was that he had a good cause.

The good thing was that he had a good cause, because the cause of rescuing the Order of St. Rosa was sufficient domestically, and externally, it would be difficult to be perceived as revenge against Hercule.

The unfortunate point is that we still need more time to prepare.

With the current navy, it is obvious that we will be defeated by the Lemurian Empire.

Considering the time it would take to increase their numbers and train them,......, how tenaciously the Knights of St. Rosa would be able to defend themselves became a major issue.

Fortunately, the island of Rosa is still intact.

Fortunately, the island of Rosa has not fallen yet. ...... We must hurry. Raise the anchor!　Let's sail!

And so Raus I led one hundred and seventy galleys out of the port of Cerda.

”It's almost ...... four months, isn't it? The emperor predicted .......

Karolina muttered to herself.

Hercule replied in an indifferent voice.

I'm sure. It's about time the Rosa pirates ran out of food.

Four months into the war.

Four months into the war, Hercule still hadn't been able to defeat Rosa Island.

But that's to be expected.

Hercule surrounded the island with his army and ......

He just kept on watching.

Of course, they threw feces, urine and corpses with stone throwers and ......

I'm sure you've heard of it.

But they were only minor attacks that did not cause any damage to us.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.” ”By the way, the ...... nearer guy seems to have figured out my intentions in three days. ”Feeding the troops, huh? He asked me three days after the siege began.

And what did he say?

I said, ”That depends. I said, ”That depends. In fact, the sooner they surrender, the better off we'll be.

Well, I suppose that's true. ...... By the way, what made Nia realize that?

He heard that the condition for surrender was mass conversion.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the coming weeks.

The idea of a military campaign is not so common as it seems.

This is because it is common knowledge that the former is more likely to run out of food than the latter.

As a result, there are many cases in which a siege ends up as an attack on food, but it is not common to aim for an attack on food from the beginning.

However, Hercule's aim was to attack the army from the beginning.

Well, it's not impossible to force the attack down. ......

”The island of Lhosa is fishing bait.

The prey is King Chelda, is it not?

”Sort of.

After that, Hercule whispered, ”Not only that, though.

”Well, King Chellda will be caught soon enough. If I'm reading this right, it's .......

Hercule did not start the war recklessly.

Let's say that he invaded ...... in February.

In that case, King Cerda would probably consider the progress of the war preparations he had begun last year, as well as the strength and rations of Rosa's pirates, and decide that he could not make it in time.

In that case, Hercule would have to be wary of King Cerda's attack, which could come at any time.

On the other hand, if they attacked after July, ......
