Once transferred, Sage, I was reincarnated and became the son of the Demon King. ~ Eh ⁉ The sixteent

After Takatoral Castle, we headed all the way to Olebertsbimua, the capital of the Demons.

During the march, small castles and villages reached my eyes, so I checked them and they were deserted.

"Hmm, is the enemy going to conduct a thorough scorched-earth operation?

"In the last invasion, we were allowed to buy time in a castle with thickened defenses until we got to the capital, but this time it doesn't seem like it"

During the march, listening by ear to the conversation between the Knights of Leon and General Alberto, I think about what the enemy is thinking.

(At first I thought it was Operation Scorched Earth, but if we ambush there because the supply line is already stretched out, we should withdraw both this army and each side of the army. What do you mean you don't? Besides, if we're going to attack this supply line, if we leave the villagers behind, it's going to be pretty damaging.)

Even the heroic animation of a space opera takes only the food of a star under imperial control and leaves the inhabitants who live on that star intact to share the food with the army that occupies that star. Afterwards, the food shortage hit the rear supply line, causing mourning among the local population and the occupying forces, not to mention rioting.

There the Imperial Army fought the Occupying Army and the Occupying Army withdrew into its own territory.

In the same way, if we leave the inhabitants of the village intact and take only the food, we have to share the military's food over here, so the supply line is painful.

But the enemy doesn't do that, and he's headed to the enemy's capital with Ning Luo food.

(If you don't know what the enemy's intentions are, you won't be able to make an operation when you get to the capital)

Weirdly, if we set up an operation and that's what our enemies assume, this one will be devastated.

So I'm thinking of the enemy's intentions.

"What's up? Wrinkle between your brows like that."

It was Yue who talked to me like that.

I'm on a griffon, but Yue's on a hippogriff.

This demon is born by mating Griffon with a horse.

Because the griffon is the one I'm on.

"No, just a little thought."

"Shall I guess? You don't know what your enemies are thinking, and you're thinking about what to do?

"... well, you get it"

"Huh, I've been watching it since I was a little girl. That's about all I know."

"Oh well. What do you think of Yue?

"Hmm. I don't know. Just."

"Just?"

"I wonder if the enemy is concentrating on the capital."

"? Otherwise the capital would be occupied, wouldn't it?

"Even if they take the capital, they can use it as a stronghold to attack somewhere."

"The journey. Do you have an idea?"

"And"

Yue turned to me so that no one could hear her.

"You know the Trojan War?

"Yeah. It would be the myth from which the Trojan horse came"

"Then we talk fast. Trojan horse operations destroyed Trojan horses, but that's when a Trojan royalty named Ainaias took his family and the people, escaped the capital and went for Italy."

"So?"

"Ainaias built a city there, and his descendants became kings from generation to generation. Time traveled, and after several adventures, the twin brothers, descended from Aynaeus, built the city. The name of the city is Rome"

"That could be ⁉"

"Later that Rome developed and named itself Empire. They say this is the formation of the Roman Empire."

"... is Yue trying to say that the Demons will abandon their land and create a new country on some land?

"I just want to say it's possible."

I don't think so, but it's impossible.

But I haven't decided yet, so I'm not saying it out loud.

From then on, we didn't exchange a word, we just kept marching.

Ten days after marching.

We were in formation on a plain about a hundred kilometers from the enemy capital.

This is the rendezvous point that brings the troops together on all sides, so we're in formation.

"It's about time you came, though."

"There will be a slight error. More than that, piglet."

"Yes, what is it?

"There was no obstruction on the itinerary so far, but what do you think of the piglets?

"Uh-huh. I don't know."

"Not at all. Not at all. The speed at which your head spins is sold, so respond if you're asked."

"Sorry, I can't answer that because I don't know what they're thinking."

"Well, then, you have no choice."

Mr. Eliza didn't say anything. But he stuck his pinky finger in my right hand.

"Something?

"Uh, yeah."

"I say!

When Eliza tried to keep her mouth shut, someone like a preacher came before us.

"Is there something wrong?

"Ha, soon, the army will arrive from all sides. As soon as we arrive, we will hold a military conference, under orders from His Excellency the General."

"Okay."

"Well, at this"

The man in the preaching gave a token and left the place behind.

Mr. Eliza was shaking her body for some reason.

"Um, is something wrong?

I don't know.

That said, he went somewhere with anger in his mind.

(Did I do something?

I thought about it, but I don't remember doing anything.
