Became a Strategist with a 100 Intelligence and 100% Accuracy

Just as I was getting used to life in the annex, Serpina visited my room for the first time in a while.

"Welcome, my lord."

Serpina didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she looked at me and spoke.

"Follow me."

"Right now?"

"Yes."

She gave a slow nod.

Her striking appearance, coupled with the deep citrus fragrance that lingered with her every movement, nearly made me lose focus for a moment. I forced myself to regain composure.

"I'm about to make my next move. So, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad time to test you."

"In that case…."

"We're resuming the invasion."

So soon?

She was already preparing for an aggressive campaign.

"Didn’t the Battle of Zelstrom Castle deplete our available forces? Are you planning to enlist mercenaries?"

"Yes. On top of that, reinforcements are expected to arrive soon."

Ah.

I quickly understood and nodded.

I hadn’t run a full prediction yet, but from a strategic standpoint, continuing the war didn’t seem like the best choice.

"What’s the matter?"
