Became a Strategist with a 100 Intelligence and 100% Accuracy

The beginning of everything lay in that prediction.

"Is it correct to station the gathered troops at the most easily accessible recruitment site?"

[Yes.]

My intelligence was 100. However, I hadn't suddenly become incredibly smart or shown a remarkable flair for strategy or tactics. What I could do was know what the outcome would be. And it would always be the right outcome.

This time was no different. All I had figured out was that this would be the most efficient option for Serpina's army. I couldn’t understand why stationing troops at Amir Castle was the most efficient, but the result seemed to make sense.

What I chose was reverse engineering. If I arrived at a conclusion, I would calculate the scenario that inevitably led to that conclusion. Until now, I thought I had done a decent job at it.

So, I came up with a hypothesis: "The Aishus army will attack by traveling up the river from Zeta Castle."

I created that hypothesis because, at least to me, it seemed like the only possibility.

"Traveling upstream?" I knew it was reckless. "The Aishus army wouldn't gain anything from it." Of course, I agreed with that too.

But why had I argued for it? Because I had my reasoning.

Before coming here, I had been with the Aishus army. And from what I had seen, they weren't always a rational group. For example, I was sure that Jinor would never propose an attack upstream, but Anima, on the other hand, might. The core members of Aishus saw Serpina as an enemy, and because of that, I felt they might launch a reckless attack like that to maintain internal unity.

After all, they had discarded me. It wouldn’t be unusual for them to make such a decision.

This was my strong intuition, backed by my experience being abandoned by Yuuuri.

With this intuition and the absolute, correct prediction of [Yes.], I felt confident.

But—@@novelbin@@

No matter how much time passed, there was nothing but silence around Amir Castle. Even though scouts were frequently sent around the river, no boats were seen passing by. Peaceful times continued.
