To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

"Are you kidding me?"

Schneizel's angry shouts shook the meeting room.

　I was so shocked to find myself in this situation as soon as I entered the room, I couldn't help but to fall to my feet.

" Get behind me,"

"Oh, thank you very much."

　Almire quickly steps forward to cover me.

I peeked into the meeting room from behind him and saw that the atmosphere was much more tense than before.

　First of all, Schneizel is the one who is showing his anger.

　Vasel, standing by his side, is admonishing him not to go too far.

The other members of the executive and the members of private ten-man squad are silent, but they are glaring at the Ausstadt nobles.

　The reaction of the Ausstadt nobles to this was varied.

　Indifference, ridicule, anger.

All of them had one thing in common: they were not cordial.

　The two sides, which were supposed to be cooperating with each other in the war, are now trading hostile glances.

How did this happen?

"Therefore, as I have just explained to you, your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Legion. We will not change our formation, but will intercept the Kingdom of Meltor."

　Apparently, this was due to the fact that the Ausstadt side was rejecting the change in tactics that had been discussed even before I left.

"It's not enough," he said! It's fucking ludicrous to talk about your defeat, but this is an enemy that even Almir and I couldn't beat two years ago!

"The old soldier has heard of your abilities. I am not underestimating the enemy".

　The representative of the Ausstadt side, perhaps. The only one with a calm expression on his face, the old man talks to Schneizel in a crude manner.

"If you don't underestimate them, why don't you change your tactics even though the enemy's strength is higher than previously expected? Huh?"

"We have the pride and experience of having defended the fortress city of Ausstadt for several decades".　

"Are you willing to risk the lives of the civilians living in this city because of that pride and experience?"

"That is not true. I promise you that we will ensure your safety. I dare to say that in this city alone, our skills are superior to yours."

　---That is a tremendous leap to point to a hero whom Ghardias had decided to be the next general and had trained for that purpose and to say that he would be superior to him.

　It seems I am not the only one who was surprised by what he just said.

There were shocked voices from both Schneizel's side and the aristocrats on the Ausstadt side.

　In the midst of this chaos, the old man was nonchalant in his words.

"This place is the most secure in the world, and we have the most advanced equipment and troops to defend it. It is good to attack and even better to defend. Austerstadt is also an economic city, so even in a siege, we will have no trouble finding supplies.

"---What do you want to say to me, you've been talking so high and mighty to my lord?"

 

Perhaps they had had enough of this, Schneizel's aides voiced such a question.

The scale of the war, the basic tactics, the emergency response. Not all of them are based on common tactics. Please don't make fun of me because I am well versed in these matters and have refined the know-how to make the best choices on the battlefield of Ausstadt.

　Zoary.

　A chill runs down my spine.

　A strong smell of death. It was the smell of death, something experienced by those who have been in many battles.

I have seen many battlefields over the past two years, but none of them had such an air of death.

This includes Schneizel, who has always been beside me.

　If this old man had been on the battlefield since he was young, his experience might even surpass that of Galdias.

　So he may have a point.

"This city has its own way of doing things. We know how to win better than anyone else. If they change their tactics, we will be the ones to think about it."

　This is a very disrespectful attitude toward Schneizel, who is his superior by virtue of his position. It is too crazy to do so among the nobility, the ultimate hierarchical society.

However, the old man had an atmosphere that could not be denied.

　His words and gestures had an unusual weight and persuasive power.

　He must be one of the fierce warriors who have supported the great nation of Arcadia for a long time.

The nobles who take care of the battles we tour must be those who are favorable to Schneizel's faction.

The old man and the other nobles of Ausstadt rejected him stubbornly, as if to overturn this assumption.

○

　As a result, no conclusion was reached at this meeting.

　The Schneizel side, which spoke of the danger of Argiano, and the Ausstadt side, which insisted that it could be dealt with, were divided in their opinions, and it was decided to wait for the decision of the Marquis of Strahl, who had the final authority to decide.

So that evening, the lord of the fortress city of Ausstadt finally returned to his mansion and said,

"I think we should do as O'Brien says."

　How that old man supported O'Brien!
