Chapter 123
"Is that so? I would very much like to understand the reasoning behind it. If you don’t mind, could you explain?"
At Sika’s request, I nodded slowly.
"It’s simple. Because that location needs troops."
"…I mean no offense, but that just sounds like you’re repeating the obvious."
Sika wasn’t wrong.
To be honest, I also didn’t fully understand the reason.
The only fortunate thing was that Amin had brought a map earlier.
"Amin, may I borrow the map?"
"Huh? …Here you go."
Amin handed over the map with a skeptical expression, clearly unsure of my intentions.
As I spread it out on the table—
"……."
Both Serpina and Jenna, who had remained seated until now, stood and approached.
It seemed they were also curious about what I was about to say.
Just their movement alone caused a visible stir among the other officers.
"Please, take a look at the map."
While everyone’s attention was focused on the table, I quickly scanned the layout.
Mair Castle.
An isolated fortress at the far eastern edge, near a river and a mountain range.
If stationing troops here was the correct answer, then… it wasn’t to suppress a rebellion.
Right. A rebellion.
If placing troops in the rear was the most effective decision, then it could only mean there was an internal threat to be dealt with.
If someone had suggested reinforcing the capital, that meant the northern continent wasn’t fully under control yet.
It was a logical assumption.@@novelbin@@
However—
"Do you believe a rebellion will occur in this area?"
Serpina, who had been silent until now, pointed at a castle near Mair Castle.
Heiser Castle.
But… that wasn’t the answer.
- Capital: Valharat Castle
- North: Zelstrom Castle
- West: Laccline Castle
- East: Zeta Castle
