"That's the Menmen's army... There's more than 40,000 of them.
"I guess so. Or rather, the Menmen are mobilizing 100,000 people."
"100,000? That would be too good. It doesn't look like the size of the army."
"Of course, the Menmen are exaggerating to make a big noise about their forces. It's an army anywhere. Fontana must have published more than a real number."
Really? Well, I told you I'd win. If they told me 100,000 troops were coming, they'd want to escape. "
"... by the way, do you know anything about your army's reputation?
You mean the Vulcans? Speaking of which, I've never done anything to make noise about the number of troops anywhere. "
"No, actually, there's been a lot of talk about the reputation of the Balkans. Ares is the only one who has defeated 30,000 Ares in the battle against the Arrests."
"Ah? Wait a minute. Why is that happening? Aren't there about 8,000 Arbarest troops back then?
"... well, even if it's 8,000 people, I think it's incredible. However, in order to make the power of Ars widely known, the previous battle was a complete victory over 30,000 troops."
"That means someone is intentionally circulating that kind of information, right? Who do you think you're doing this to?"
"You must be Mr. Leon. That's what Leon von Graham, Ars' brother-in-law, spreads. Incidentally, it's not just about midway battles with Arbarest. Everything that the Balkan army, led by Ars, has accomplished so far has been published in large numbers."
"What are you doing, Leon? But I see. It certainly makes sense for Leon to do that, doesn't it?
"Of course. Make Fontana think there's this guy. That's what deterrence does. Arus was once destroyed by one of the Keema cavalry members of the Urk family. The nobles and knights who heard that information would naturally hesitate to attack."
"... is there such a rush? Well, look. If that reduces the risk of being attacked, it might be convenient to lie a little bit."
I was scouting by airship, and I kept flying south.
And now, I succeeded in capturing the Menmen's army in sight.
I looked up and thought it was such a rough move.
Well, that would be the case if 40,000 people walked freely.
Apparently, the Menmen claimed that their army was about 100,000.
This is about daring to exaggerate, as Pane said, to increase their combat power.
It is also difficult to see the total number of troops at a glance.
To be honest, it was questionable whether the figure of 40,000 of Fontana's information was also solid.
It was accompanied by the army.
Basically, the larger the army, the more problematic it becomes.
