Reincarnated Aristocrat Chapter 113: Rolt Castle

~3^rd Person Perspective~

　Inside Rolt Castle.

　The castle, which is now in dire straits, had a long military discussion with its vassals.

“But I never thought Lupa will turn over… I’ve never expected it …” (Tendley)

　Jean Tendley, the lord of Rolt Castle, muttered with a confused look.

　He is only 22 years old, quite the young leader of the castle. A man with long blonde hair and a neat face.

　The betrayal was unexpected because Jean, who thought he knew Lupa’s personality, read him as a serious and loyal person.

　In reality, Lupa had a desire to advance in his heart, but Jean couldn’t see it.

　Not only Jean but also Kanses, who entrusted Lupa with Fort Bardsen, it is not that both could not see it. It was that Lupa had lived by hiding his ambitions.

“Reporting. It seems that the enemy has split their army into two and is advancing to Starts Castle with the main unit, and another squad is advancing towards Rolt Castle.” (Messenger)

　A messenger reported.

“Is that so … how many enemies are heading here?” (Jean)

“There are more than 10,000. Also, there are reports that the enemy army had the Metro mercenary corps among them.” (Messenger)

“… 10,000 is a lot, and that famous Metro mercenary is there…” (Jean)

　Rolt Castle is only 5,000 strong.

　If the enemy’s troops were weak, Jean was confident that he could manage even with twice as many, but with soldiers as powerful as the Maitreau Mercenaries, the odds of victory would be greatly reduced.

“No matter how many enemies we have, we have to attack and send reinforcements to Starts Castle! Jean-sama, order an attack!” (Messenger)

“Yes! Our army has a powerful cavalry and we will defeat any enemy!” (Jean)

　The vassals rushed towards Jean.

　Rolt Castle is famous for its cavalry, and soldiers who are good with horses.

　Confident in their strength, no one was intimidated when they heard that there were twice as many enemies.

　The owner of the castle, Jean, was also widely known for his skill with horses, and he had led his cavalry in many battles with great success.

“Wait, don’t panic. It’s true that our cavalry is powerful and unmatched, but when the enemy has a strong army and twice as many, we won’t stand a chance if we fight without a plan.” (Jean)

　Jean remonstrated his hotheaded vassals.

“You mean, we’re going to make a plan?” (Vassal)

“Oh, actually, I’ve already played my hand.” (Jean)

“Hand?” (Vassal)

“Yes, it’s a gamble. It’s a gamble to see if would work……” (Jean)

　While Jean muttered with an uneasy look,

“I have a report!!” (Messenger)

　Another messenger rushed in.

“I brought a letter from *Handler-sama!” (Messenger)

“Give it to me!” (Jean)

　Jean received the letter handed by the messenger and hurriedly read the contents.

　And

“This battle… We can win…” (Jean)

　He smiled and muttered.

　Jean stands up,

“Get ready to move!”

　I ordered the vassals.
