179 Episode 20 Great Strategy Behind the Scenes (1/2)

What am I really doing here?

Suddenly, Lunalie came to her senses.

Lunalie was currently at the western edge of the province of Misrule.

A city near the border between the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Chellda.

It is the city of Cyrene.

The city of Cyrene, the center of Cyrenaica, is the third largest port city in the Lemurian Empire, and is one of the most important cities in the Lemurian Empire, although it is not as big as Nova Lemuria, Alexia, and Orontia. --It is one of the largest port cities in the Lemurian Empire.

Currently, it is the front line of the war between the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Cerda. ......

It was an important logistics base.

Lunalie was here, buried in papers, sending supplies to the generals on the front lines.

It's a big job, I know.

I know it's a big job, and I know it's a job that can only be done by a good person, and I know that Lunalie was deemed good enough by Hercule to do it.

I am very happy about that.

But ......, however, Lunalie suddenly wondered.

But Lunalie suddenly wondered why she, the Queen of Hayastan, was in charge of the logistics of the Lemurian Empire's army?

And.

”...... You'll say it's because you're my slave, won't you?

Lunalie muttered.

He then looked over the plan that Hercule had created.

This time, the plan that Hercule made, namely a surprise attack on the center of the Kingdom of Cerda by crossing the Great Desert.

The basis of this plan is a meticulous march plan and logistics.

According to the plan, Hercule had already been working on it since the middle of the Bulgalon War, when he noticed that the chaos in the Kingdom of Chelda was subsiding.

He had prepared more than 10,000 camels and donkeys, and had organized a huge logistics force.

It was about a year ago that the plan really began to take off.

Hercule had formed a military alliance with the Barbarians of the Great Desert of Fezzan.

They were secretly transporting military supplies to the oasis cities of the Barbarians.

Armor, arrows, and other items that would be a burden on the march were carried in advance. ......

They would then march with a minimum of armor and plenty of supplies.

The supplies would be in the form of replenishment of pre-stored supplies, and would be the minimum amount necessary to travel between oases.

Even so, they have to carry a huge amount of supplies, especially water and military provisions.

In particular, Hercule seems to have been very concerned about water and fodder.

Horses and other service animals require huge amounts of water and fodder.

In order to carry a large amount of goods, service animals are needed, but the amount of goods needed increases when service animals are taken along.

Hercule has a very complex and detailed plan to solve this problem.

”It's really awesome ...... and it's awesome that you're willing to put this into action.

Lunalie read Hercule's plan and marveled at it.

Lunalie read Hercule's plan and admired it.

What is more amazing, however, is the enormous amount of money used for this plan.

First of all, just preparing a large number of camels and donkeys would have required a tremendous amount of money.

In addition to that, there was a huge amount of military supplies.

The amount of money poured into this operation was enough to purchase the treasury of the Kingdom of Khayastan by the dozen.

The Lemurian Empire's finances are not bankrupt and its people are not impoverished even after spending this much money like it was hot water. What's really going on?

According to him, he has created a system called the Bank of Lemuria.

They are collecting money from their subjects all over the Lemurian Empire in the name of deposits, and using it to fund their military.

To put it bluntly, Lunalie thought it was a scam.

But it's working.

It's horrible.

If we conquer the kingdom of Chellda, we can make up for our losses. ...... The fact that you're working on the assumption that you'll win the war gives you a lot of confidence, or something. ......

Lunalie let out a sigh.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

You can find a lot more information on the web.

”Lunalie, have you received any information about His Majesty?

”Carolina, you should at least ask permission. We've just passed ...... the third oasis city, but this is a week old information. In fact, we should be a little further along.

In the meantime, Hercule is using his horse to send information about how far he has gone to the rear.

But as expected, the information is not as fresh as it should be due to the distance between them.

I mean, why are you here?　You were ordered to stay at Nova Lemuria.

...... I took that to mean that I was to stay in the Lemurian Empire. This is the Lemurian Empire. I want to be as close to you as possible.

”I don't think the distance will make much difference.

However, Lunalie could understand Karolina's concern for her husband.

Lunalie also worries about Hercule, just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, like a grain of wheat.

She even had a dream about Hercule last night.

Is he going to be okay?

He's probably singing a song right now, isn't he?

It could be .......

These two people ...... looked worried though.

In the meantime, a large fleet of the Lemurian Empire was anchored in the port of Cyrene.

Of the five hundred warships, two hundred were gathered in this port.

Of the remaining three hundred ships, two hundred were working to seize control of the waters around the Kingdom of Chellda and control the coastal areas, while one hundred remained in Nova Lemuria to control the movements of the navies of other countries around the capital.

In addition, two infantry corps were also waiting here.

Depending on the situation, they would immediately board a transport ship and embark on the mainland of the Kingdom of Cerda.

”Hmm, can't we just board like this?　Grand Admiral.

Stephan asked Christos.
