Became a Strategist With an Intelligence of 100 and an Accuracy Rate of 100%

33 – Episode 33. That’s all

* * *

After the meeting, I confirmed the tasks I had been assigned.

‘Commercial…… Is it.’

I don’t know what my political status is, but I have to do what I’m told anyway.

I don’t know specifically what to do when I go to the market.

That’s right, in this game, the intelligence stat wasn’t a stat that had any particular effect on commerce.

And I don’t even know what to do in the first place.

When he was in Luna Lien County, he did maintenance all the time except for one exploration…… It’s a shame, but Tifa and Luna did all the repairing of the castle walls themselves because they were helpless, and Kane and I worked as if we were supporting them.

‘You’ll find out when you go to the market.’

It seemed that official work would begin the day after the meeting ended.

In the Lunarien military, it was just rolling along without anything being systematically caught, but is it really different in large corporations?

Anyway, I had done everything I needed to do today.

And, the girl who came with me, Irene Juliet-

This time too, there was no given mission.

There were so many generals in Brans County that there were a few generals like her who did not have her duties, but they were all ordinary C-class generals who were not that outstanding.

Only Iren had high abilities, but he was being thrown out with nothing to do.

“…….”

I followed her back home without saying a word.

*

It was when she arrived home that she opened her mouth.

An easily recognizable feeling of regret appeared on her face, which had always maintained an expressionless expression.

“I’m sorry, Swen. I didn’t mean to ignore you, but I was worried that if you appeared close to me in a crowded place… You’d be treated poorly.”

“What’s new now? I already agreed with Irene’s opinion in front of so many people.”

“Yes. That’s what I want to ask. That’s it!”

Iren asked me with strange excitement for some reason.

“… What on earth does that mean? Army Charam is planning to make a secret pact with our army and betray us? Do you really think that?”

Oh. Thank you.

After greeting Irene, who asked a question she wanted to type, she typed the question in her head: ‘Does Charam have plans to betray our military?’

But- the result was [Unknown].

This result. It wasn’t the first result I’d seen.

It was the same result I saw when the man I had been talking to before joining the Lunarien Army asked me to know whether he would win or lose in a gamble.

‘I thought it would be like this, but I guess it’s too much.’

In this game, the advice given by a strategist with 100 intelligence was about things like the monarch and the country, the outcome of a battle, the success or failure of a plan, the missions to be done, and the most efficient policy.

It seemed like I couldn’t ask such a specific question with 100 points of intelligence.

The only way is to somehow squeeze out the thoughts.

I don’t know the exact standards yet, but this will become known as big data accumulates.

“And, we have to attack Serpina’s territory in the north? What do you mean? Isn’t that too reckless!”

I answered in a calm tone to calm her down once she was excited.

“Irene. If you don’t mind, would it be okay if I ask you a question first before answering?”

“…Tell me.”

“Why did you, Irene, express the opinion that we should strengthen her defense by sending troops to the North?”

Iren listened to me, sighed briefly, and then spoke.

“Let’s take a seat first.”

She took off her heavy armor, hung it up, and took a seat at her table.

She casually sat down across from her and looked into her eyes.

It was like getting ready to hear a story.

“Are you aware that not long ago, Serpina’s army and our army fought a decisive battle in the north for several months?”

“I heard it.”

While I was enjoying peace at Zeeland Castle, the Brans army must have had a hard time fighting the Serpina army.

“In the process, we somehow managed to hold off well… But even though it was a water-based battle, we were not able to defeat the enemy’s troops that efficiently. Although it was our army that won the immediate battle, in the long run, it was our army that won the battle. “It means that the reality is that Su-kun is being pushed back.”

“In other words, does this mean that our side is behind in terms of engagement costs?”

“That’s right.”

As Irene, who possesses a siege specialty, it seemed like she had some kind of insight in this area.

“There is quite a lot of population in the north. The central region, which makes up most of the territory of our Brans County, is also a very good land, but it is still in chaos. Although the area around Anel Castle is said to be peaceful, the border area is a territory. Many of the territory residents living in have already been conscripted as soldiers. So, I think it is premature to mobilize 56,000 men to suppress the Aethus army in a situation where troops cannot be drawn from anywhere in a hurry. I am Ser. “I am confident that the Pina army will seize the opportunity and attack Kelstein Castle again.”

After saying that, Irene said, “Wait a little bit,” And stood up to prepare tea.

No matter when I saw her, she was truly a down-to-earth woman.

It wasn’t long before she accepted the cup of tea he offered her and drank it.

There was a subtle smoke scent in the car.

“Now that Farfalle has voiced her opinion, there is a very high chance that the bill will pass. She is the most trusted woman in our military.”

“So you raised your hand?”

“That’s right.”

She nodded her head and sipped her tea.

I see.

Even though she knew she was hated, she raised her hand out of concern for the country, thinking that things could not go on like this.

Even if she did that, Lin wouldn’t recognize it, and she didn’t expect anything like that anymore – but she still said what she had to say.

She couldn’t help but be a loyal subject, but in most world lines in the game, the result of her loyalty was a tragedy.

Will she eventually die?

Because of her bossy personality?

One thing I know. ‘Lynn Brans kills her general, Irene Juliette, with her own hands, a subordinate of hers with whom she was not a good match’.

In a sentence that only contained the result, it felt like puzzle pieces were gradually coming together.

As she was staring blankly at her teacup, I carefully asked a question.

“……Irene. This may be rude, but-“

“It’s okay. You can’t progress if you only accept the words of your subordinates as rude. It’s okay to talk freely.”

“Then I will ask you a blunt question. Do you know that you are hated by your master?”

“…….”

She said with a bitter smile.

“Yes. I know.”

“Are you still loyal?”

“Yes.”

“Is there a reason?”

“…….”

Irene Juliet.

S-class general. Red hair and purple eyes. [Siege] Specialty and high strength. An unlucky general whose head was cut off by his lord Lin Brans at the end.

This was all the information about her that could be found in the game.

The tip is also very simple, [If you want to use Airen, you must choose Lin Brans yourself or destroy Branth’s army as soon as possible! However, even if Branth’s army is destroyed, Irene will not be hired for a while, so let’s try with her patience!], And that was all she said.

But.

That was all Irene Juliet practiced every day, waiting for the day when her master would call her.

Irene Juliette was just that, and even though she knew she was hated, she always gave advice for the country.

That’s all, Irene Juliette, was generous to her subordinates and her generals, and she did not overestimate her abilities, and even if she experienced something shameful, she poured the heart of it into her subordinates. I didn’t even release it to people.

I became curious.

Why is Irene so loyal even though she is hated by Lin Brans?

It is not a character setting that says [She is deeply loyal], But it is a question of whether the woman who lives and breathes right in front of my eyes, makes tea for me, and neglects her training every day is trying to betray her lord who hates her. I was curious.

And I wanted to save it as much as possible.

Before her eyes, she smiles as if she could collapse at any moment.

“…It’s going to be a bit personal.”

She said and lightly scratched the rim of her teacup with her finger.

“Because it was her father’s request.”

“Are you talking about father?”

“That’s right. After the empire collapsed, the feudal lord who occupied Annel Castle in the central part of the continent, which was the rich land of the continent, faster than anyone else, was the man called the Emperor’s Dog, Orland Brans. You know that, right?”

Orland Brands.

I’ve heard of the name, but I’ve never actually flown it.

He was already dead at the start of the game, and Brans was taken over by his third daughter, Lynn Brans.

“The person who served as his bodyguard by Åland’s side was my father, Kafka Juliet.”

This is my first time hearing this name.

Unlike Lin Brans, a powerful monarch in the game, Irene was just a general with some good skills.

It was not a game that detailed the background setting of such a general.

“The day I first picked up the sword, my father always said something. We are the ones who live for the Brans family. I heard that it is because of that that we can exist. In fact, when Orland was alive, our family didn’t have much to worry about. Because I could have lived without it.”

I focused on her story without adding anything special.

“My father died in exchange for protecting Orland’s life.”

“What happened?”

“There was an assassination attempt on Mr. Orland.”

Ah.

I pictured roughly what happened in my head.

“At that time, the empire had just collapsed, so people still had an identity as ‘my people’, and there were still many people who followed the Eingart family. After her father died, her mother also became ill. He passed away.”

“So, continuing in your father’s footsteps… Until now?”

“Yes.”

Irene said, looking at me more clearly than ever.

Pride was clearly visible in her eyes, even if they had faded.

“Serving the Brans family and living for the Brans family. After Oland Brans passed away, working for Lyn Brans, who became his successor, is a very natural thing for me. Swen, you think the same too. “Isn’t it?”

“…….”

I sipped my tea aimlessly without answering.

Here, it wasn’t even possible to convince her by saying ‘I don’t think so’.

In this game, the value that most influenced general selection was the attractiveness value.

If your charm was 100, even generals who were difficult to hire would often ask for it.

If you judge my attractiveness level based on my ordinary appearance, it would be roughly around 50 to 60, so it was a meaningless thought.

The methods I used to recruit master generals with [Loyalty 100] In the game.

1. Raise friendliness to MAX.

2. Become a special relationship (such as a friendship that is deeper than others).

3. Use tactics to reduce loyalty.

There are three that come to mind right away.

Of course, as someone who just pushed buttons, I had no idea how to apply them in this world – but anyway, it was best to do what I could for now.

No matter what her circumstances are, it’s not like she doesn’t have a way to recruit Iren to our side.

‘Let’s think about raising the likeability level first.’

Thinking of that, I felt at ease and opened my mouth carefully, putting as much consideration into my voice as possible.

“For now, I understand. I understand why my loyalty to Rin is unwavering.”

“I’m glad you understand, but… I’m worried that I may have brought up something too personal for someone I’ve only just met, and that it might be a burden.”

“It’s okay. Getting to know Irene is a very wonderful thing for me.”

“…!”

Iren’s pupils dilated slightly at my words-

Soon, her face turned red and she turned her head to the side.

Is the man a little awkward?

Well, since this was said to increase favorability, it would be correct to view this response as good.

“Hmm. Well… Anyway, my story is okay, so I’ll leave it at that. Now let’s get to the main topic.”

She covered her mouth with her fist and cleared her throat a few more times before opening her mouth again.

“The conclusion that we must attack the Serpina army’s territory in the north… I want to know the basis for that conclusion.”

“It’s the basis.”

To be honest, I don’t know either.

I just made an inference based on the results so far -＞ Farfalle asked a question at the right time, so the result I applied was the correct answer.

But- it is true that something definitely happens in that the result is like that.

“…….”

I thought about making up something right now, but I thought it would be okay to tell it after I was a little more certain.

It wasn’t a discussion right now, the policy had already been decided, and there wasn’t anything we could do just because Iren was listening.

“The things I can grasp are vague, but my thoughts have not been refined yet. Could you give me a little time?”

“That doesn’t matter.”

“Then I’m glad.”

I didn’t have anything to say right away, but it worked out well.

I felt like I needed to think about this problem on my own.

At that time.

“Swen.”

“Yes?”

“…Thank you.”

As she said that, her cheeks blushed slightly.

Why?

Perhaps because of the way she spoke, Irene, who had once seemed like a strong warrior, now felt like a woman who just needed someone to lean on.

“Thank you for supporting my opinion. This is the first time this has happened.”

I spoke in a serious tone.

“Irene. Let me tell you, I did not dare to raise her hand to pity Irene. I only listened to Irene’s opinion because I thought it was the most reasonable. Please keep that in mind.”

“…That’s right.”

She smiled at me again.

This time, he didn’t look like he was going to collapse at any moment.

*

That night.

After completing the training, I left Iren, who was asleep, behind.

I unfolded the map of the northern region I had drawn, looked at it in the dark lantern light, and fell into deep thought.

‘Something is definitely happening in the North.’

The prediction result with intelligence of 100 is that launching an attack in the north is the optimal result.

But no matter how much I look, the angle does not appear.

The northern castle had a large number of troops gathered on either side, and if troops were raised to enter from this side, it was a perfect situation to inevitably attack Kelstein from another location.

I looked to see if there were any variables related to the newly built fortress, but I couldn’t find anything in particular.

‘There is a reason why Farfalle was so dumbfounded.’

Even though I have cleared this game over a thousand times, I feel like it is ridiculous.

Of course, since it is a world created based on a game that is not very realistic in terms of tactics, there is nothing wrong with using cheats to bring in several SS-level officers and officers with the [Siege] Specialty.

It was a meaningless assumption at the moment.

Anyway.

Nevertheless, if ‘launching an attack on the North’ was the most efficient way – it meant that something ridiculous would actually happen.

I thought of all the variables in the game.

Everything that can happen in the game.

Among them, we mainly selected the cases that seemed suitable for our army to invade Serpina even though the Serpina army was in trouble.

First of all, even if something happens, an invasion will erase things that are unlikely to be of much help to our military.

Quite a few ‘variables’ disappeared at this stage.

After that, I organized the remaining things. There were three in total.

First. A natural disaster occurs.

There was a natural disaster in this game.

Something really absurd happened while playing the game, such as if you were unlucky, a huge earthquake would occur and your team’s castle would be destroyed.

What is an earthquake? It was more plausible than the ending of being completely destroyed by a meteorite. Of course, there was a small possibility of being hit by a meteorite.

To begin with, this was an almost arbitrary worldview in which there were only a few wizards who used magic, so there were quite a few events that seemed to have been created arbitrarily.

But the probability was very low. Even if it is based on a prediction of 100 intelligence, it is improbable that even I can recall scenes that I have only seen a few times while playing the game.

I wonder if the number of cases is just this one.

So let’s ignore this.

The second is the sudden death of the monarch.

If a monarch dies without appointing a successor, there is a high probability that a country with many fiefdoms will be divided into three or four.

Therefore, some people played a trick of assassinating the monarch of a large country by repeatedly saving and loading.

If the country is divided, it would naturally be a good time to advance into the North.

But…… Serpina dies?

She is the main character of this game who survives throughout the scenario, and in a way, she is even the face of Madame.

Because she was the absolute powerhouse that unified the continent in most world lines.

Besides, she was young. And she was healthy.

So, I thought that this was actually similar to a natural disaster.

Yes.

There is only one thing left.

A sudden increase in the number of front lines that the Serpina Army must respond to.

So-

I marked the two castles in the north with the letter O.

Chorell Castle in the northwest, and Cherien Castle in the northeast.

One of the two castles.

Which of the two places-

‘The rebellion…… Wake up?’

Third.

Rebellion and raising of troops in the castle due to coup d’état.

No matter how much I thought about it, this felt like the right answer.
