104 Episode 11 Taurica War Before (1/2)

”Well, they're still sticking with ......, huh?　It's been nine months. I hope they give up and convert en masse or ...... starve to death.

Hercule said as he ate his steak.

This is not the island of Rosa, but the palace of Nova Lemuria.

Yes, ...... Hercule had returned to Nova Lemuria from Lhosa about four months ago.

Well, it's no wonder. ......

I can't just stick around on an island for months.

He had a lot of other administrative work to do.

In addition, ...... two battalions of heavy cavalry (cribanarius), one battalion of light cavalry for reconnaissance and dispatch, three battalions of longbowmen, 360, Darius and Edmond were pulled out upon his return.

This was because they were considered to be overpowered.

Currently, Oscar is quietly continuing the siege.

I thought we would run out of food in a little over four months. ......

How are you going to survive the remaining five months? ......

Well, ...... you don't have to think about it.

The answer is obvious.

I'm not going to tell you, because I'm eating.

”Your Majesty.

What's wrong?　Karolina.

Carolina spoke to me. ......

I stopped thinking about what I didn't want to think about.

I'm not sure if it's safe to leave more than 30,000 troops on Rosa Island for nine months. ......　Isn't it possible for a foreign country to invade?　For example, ...... the Fals.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to do.

That's not good. We need you to protect Hayastan.

In response to their concerns, ......

Hercule shrugged his shoulders and replied.

Don't worry. The Foulds have not yet fully recovered, and there is no reason for them to break the non-aggression pact and attack us. The Bulgurons will be fine. It's been a warm year.

Currently, there are no major powers that would turn on the Lemurian Empire, ......

Hercule said.

”It's just that ......

When Hercule was about to say something ......

Todoris came running in, shaking his fat belly.

”Your Majesty!　I'm sorry to interrupt your meal!　A rebellion has broken out in the northern ...... Taurica Peninsula!

There is such a thing as weak dogs rebelling .......

Hercule smiled wryly.

Those were the good days.

Well, I guess everyone thinks that at least once.

When I was in elementary school, ......

When I was in middle school: ......

When I was in high school: ......

When you were a college student: ......

When you were young: ......

You are free to think what you want.

But ...... those days are still those days and you can't ...... go back.

It is impossible for a retired grandfather to redo his youth.

Therefore, you have to admit that .......

However, there are many people who cannot admit it.

A concrete example is ......

There are many people who cannot admit it, such as the Taurians who used to have a strong influence on the Taurian coast, but were crushed by Hercule and fell.

The Lemurian Empire, their rivals, and those they had looked down upon had taken away their interests. ...... They were all thinking, ”Those were the good days.

They were all thinking, ”Those days were good,” and they wanted to go back to those days.

So how can we go back to those days?

They thought.

The first prerequisite is to ask for support from the powerful nations and tribes in the north.

Then, they decided to make use of the lessons learned from the ...... last time and fight as a united force instead of resisting in isolation.

The rest is a matter of timing.

It is obvious that no matter how united they are or how much support they get, they will not be able to win if they challenge the perfect Lemurian Empire and the Emperor of Hercule head-on at .......

So what if the Lemurian Empire is not up to the task? ......

Yes ......, for example, during a war with another country.

What if it's a long war and you're ...... struggling (・・・・・・)?

If you can win a decisive victory then, and eliminate the influence of the Lemurian Empire ...... or extract some concessions, you can go back to ”those days”!

And that day came much sooner than expected.

The day came sooner than expected, as nearly 30,000 troops of the Lemurian Empire were on ...... the island of Rosa.

We've been fighting for nine months now, and ...... there's still no sign of Rosa Island falling.

I don't know the details, but ......
