Not really... There is just a problem I must now clean up.

Do you know of Arianrhod? It is a fortress that also goes by the name of the Silver Maiden.

Yes, I had thought I might have mentioned it before. It is a fortress city that is lauded as the strongest in the Kingdom.

Is that so? Arianrhod is a fortress city, lauded as the strongest in the Kingdom.

The land around Arianrhod was once entrusted to Count Rowe...

When he turned to the Empire, the Silver Maiden went with him.

Now, one after another, the lords of each region are leaving the Empire at the call of the eastern lords...

But I am sure the Empire has no plans to relinquish the Fortress City, given its strategic position on the front lines of their war with the Kingdom.

Unless we can take back Arianrhod, the Kingdom will continually be attacked at its weakest points.

I was thinking that we need to deal with it soon, and that we need to investigate the status of the enemy's force, but...

Is there a problem?

Dimitri

I am afraid so. We confirmed that troops departed the Imperial capital, headed for Arianrhod.
link
Dimitri

If they are followed by a second and third batch of reinforcements, then the difficulty of taking back Arianrhod will increase exponentially.

But, that does not mean we are entirely without recourse. I am just at a loss as to when the soldiers will arrive.

Dimitri

Right away? You never cease to amaze. Your answers always bring me joy.
link
Dimitri

OK. Let's gather everyone immediately. We'll begin the war council for the departing troops.

Dimitri

Indeed, I realize that was out of the blue. You have your own worries. Please accept my apologies.

Dimitri

Though I do hope to deal with this sooner than later... If possible, I would like to ask you to take the lead.

Speak with me again if you change your mind.
