Became the Academy’s Weakest Bookkeeper

Montegro Academy, District 13.

District 13, which can be said to be the capital of the Montegro Academy, was located in the central area of the academy, and was the district where all the important facilities of the academy including the student council were gathered.

One day, the floating population alone is around 2,000 people.

Professors, students, and even the guilds that put buildings in District 13.

Numerous buildings exuding gothic elegance were the attractions of the Montegro Academy.

It was said that District 13 is the first place new students come in every year.

I could see just how grand and wonderful District 13 is.

And among the dazzling buildings, there was a building that boasted an overwhelming height.

The first building that catches your eye when you enter District 13 after going through strict screening.

The building was the central student council room, which was only used by the student council officers.

And only one person could use the room that could see all the places in District 13, the highest point of the central student council room.

luxuriously decorated room

The room was luxurious enough to buy a small castle on the outskirts even if the furniture and decorations in the room were sold at the market.

Montegro Academy, the best academy on the continent, where only the geniuses who are said to be the best gather every year.

And the office where only representatives of those thousands of people can enter.

The office room, used by the student council presidents from generation to generation, did not lose its light even after a long time passed, and it still showed awe and overwhelming appearance.

In the year 1432 of the Imperial Year, the new student body president of the Montegro Academy, Princess Byzante von Hergée, has also been using this office since this year.

Her older brothers and sisters also served as student council presidents from generation to generation, so it was a natural procedure for her to enter this office.

And in the office, Princess Herze was talking to someone with a magic crystal ball.

“Coming to think of it, your words make sense, so pay special attention to me.”

“Yes, Abamamama. Please preserve the body.”

“Heh heh heh, my daughter had such a talent. It’s nice to see you again.”

” It is an honour. “

“Yeah, okay. I’ll see you at the Imperial Palace next time.”

“Yes, Father.”

drop.

” ..my father praised me.”

The person Princess Hergé was talking to a while ago was Byzante von Grius, the emperor of this empire and her father.

Princess Herze, who was informed of the dangers of this expedition from the man in the library, brought a magic crystal ball capable of long-distance communication and talked to her father, and told her father everything she had heard.

Of course, at first, the emperor was not greedy for the princess’s words, but Princess Herze’s argument was very persuasive and the emperor was also cautious, so she accepted the princess’s claim.

And the result of the return is a satisfied expression on the father’s face and praise for the daughter’s achievement.

Princess Hergé has not been praised by her father since she was born.

For her like that, the praise the emperor and father gave her this time contained a significant meaning.

” ..I got a compliment..”

Princess Hergès had an unbelievable face and her cherry-colored lips were dripping down.

Like a baby who received a favorite toy from her parents, she was smiling brightly.

If a passerby had seen Herze’s smile, he would have suffered from morbidity all day.

” now… “

It could be said that Princess Herze’s childhood was miserable.

The older brothers and sisters came from the same mother’s womb, but they were cold-hearted, and the father, the emperor of the empire, also entered the concubine’s skirt and did not pay any attention to the princess.

And Herze’s mother, the Empress, passed away immediately after giving birth to her.

Princess Hergé had to learn to live alone as soon as she was born.

The people who raised her were the maids and the chief attendant, and she had to do everything she could to survive in the imperial palace.

The heart of the princess was too weak to receive the checks from her older brothers and concubines who came in countless times.

He hid his emotions in order to survive.

So he didn’t give feelings to others.

That’s how he managed to survive, and he escaped from the imperial palace as if being chased and entered the Montegro Academy.

And she began to build self-support groups within the academy.

To oppose the older brothers, and to counter the schemes of the concubines who are keeping themselves in check.

Still, it was still far from enough.

Her supporters were young people who had not yet graduated from the academy, and her older brothers had elite soldiers with long experience in the battlefield.

No matter who looked at it, the difference in power was stark.

I didn’t give up though.

Because she had to become the emperor of this empire in the future.

Ironically, he had to climb to the highest place to survive.

” The man.. “

The princess reclined her chair for a moment and remembered the man she met at the library.

A man with brown hair and an impressive tail that reaches the back of his neck.

Today, I told my father exactly what the man said, and I was able to gain his trust.

The princess began to think about the man who told her her thoughts without hesitation.

“This is the talent I need.”

The reason humans were able to survive other animals.

That was “wisdom”.

Humans have used their wisdom to survive in the wild and rise to the top predators of the food chain.

Erze, the weak, needed that wisdom to fight against her older brothers.

And the man had wisdom.

A strange relationship I met at the library.

extraordinary man.

“I want to see you again right now.”

After finishing her thoughts, the princess got up from her seat.

******

” hello. “

“?”

When the princess revisited the library again, fortunately, the man was still sitting there reading a book with a blunt expression on his face.

Hergé sat down opposite the man again and began to lead the conversation.

“I’ll start by saying thank you, because thanks to you, my acquaintance saved his life.”

Of course, the acquaintance was the emperor of the empire.

“You seem to have delivered the message, I’m glad.”

Despite the princess’s thanks, the man opened his mouth with an expressionless expression.

Would you have reacted like this if you had known that the woman sitting in front of you was the imperial princess?

However, the princess did not feel bad.

Rather, I wanted to get the man in front of me.

The princess was greedy because there were so many things she couldn’t have because she was pushed away by her older brothers when she was young.

Therefore, despite the man’s blunt reaction, the princess continued to lead the conversation.

What I regret now was Erje.

“Is it okay if I ask for your name?”

“This is Griff Rommel.”

“Griff.. Griff..”

The man sitting opposite the princess was a nobleman, since only the royal family and nobles were permitted to use their surnames in this world.

“You seem to be a Confucius of the Griffs, who are devoted to the Empire in the south.”

“It’s the third, but well, yes.”

As soon as the story of the family came out, the man closed the book and made eye contact with the princess.

“My name is Edinburgh Rosé, you can call me Rosé comfortably.”

Edinburgh Rosé, she was the son of Princess Hergès.

As she could not afford to think of a pseudonym, the princess hurriedly borrowed the name of her entourage, Edinburgh.

‘ I’m sorry, Rosé, I’ll buy you some candy later. ‘

Herze apologized in her heart to Rosé, who was wielding a sword somewhere in the gymnasium.

Of course, if it was Rosé, she would say, “Princess, I’m fine.”

Hergé did not reveal her identity for the sake of convenience.

If she revealed her identity as a princess, the man in front of her could have run away from her.

” ..were you the daughter of the Earl of Edinburgh?”

The man opened his eyes and showed a look of surprise, but he did not appear to have the will to escape.

When the situation was right, the princess smiled and opened her mouth.

“Yes, that’s right. I am the daughter of the Earl of Edinburgh.”

“Okay, it’s an honor to meet Young-ae, who has a high opinion on swords.”

” Oh. “

The princess covered her mouth with her hand and smiled.

A friendly smile, but there was no pretense in that smile.

The princess really wanted a man, so she decided to take advantage of her beauty.

Because beauty was another weapon of a woman.

After a little bit of the fluff was released, the princess turned her gaze to the book Rommel was reading.

Rommel still asks ‘What is war? ‘ was reading a book.

“Seeing that you are still reading that book, you seem to be fluent in that area. If you have time, could you teach the girl?”

“Teaching?”

Rommel tilted her head and expressed her doubts, but the princess continued to speak.

“Any knight must lead his troops effectively, but unfortunately, girls are ignorant and need instruction. Please lend me your famous wisdom.”

“Efficiency, Efficiency..”

Rommel seemed to think for a moment, then smiled and accepted the princess’s proposal.

“I don’t know if it will be a teaching because it’s a little bit of wisdom, but I’ll try my best.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Prince Rommel.”

Thus, Hergé and Rommel had a question-and-answer time.

********

“Do you know what the nomads are afraid of?”

“Isn’t it the fact that most of the troops are cavalry?”

“That’s right, cavalry has always been a tricky class in any era. Historical records say that one company of cavalry changed the course of war.”

Herje quietly nodded at Rommel’s words.

In an era when guns and artillery were not yet developed, cavalry was like a tank.

Fast maneuverability, superior range.

The cavalry was the flower of the battlefield and the ambassador of the infantry.

When the cavalry arrived, the infantry had no choice but to raise their spears or pull their bowstrings from afar.

“Nomads have been with horses since birth, and rumor has it that they can even sleep on horseback.”

” Oh my gosh. “

In fact, the Mongols even slept on horseback to minimize travel time.

As a result of reducing the travel time to the limit, the Kingdom of Khorasm exploded before even trying to do anything.

“Then is there any way to defeat the nomads?”

“It’s not that there’s no way.”

A princess looking at Rommel with curious eyes.

As if to live up to the expectations of such a princess, Rommel continued speaking with three fingers.

“First, naval warfare.”

Rommel folds one finger.

“Naval warfare…”

“It’s difficult, because they won’t accept naval battles.”

The fact that nomadic peoples are weak in naval warfare has already been proven historically.

In fact, Mongolia tried to cross the sea with Goryeo to invade Japan, but failed because of a storm.

After that, the Mongols gave up Japanese occupation.

“Second, we just have to make it impossible to ride a horse.”

” ah..! “

Cavalry too powerful?

You can then simply remove the cavalry by dismounting the rider.

An example is Vietnam.

In 1284, Mongol and Yuan armies invaded Vietnam, but Vietnam’s unique crazy jungle constantly plagued the Mongols.

I couldn’t ride a horse properly because it was a jungle, but the Vietnamese army constantly harassed the Mongol soldiers with guerrilla and blue night tactics.

Besides, the hot and humid weather unique to the jungle and various poisonous insects and wild beasts are infested.

In Mongolia’s situation, it was something that could have exploded in the head.

In addition, the number of Vietnamese troops led by Tran Hung Dao is a whopping 250,000.

Considering that 250,000 people were walking through guerrilla warfare all day, night and day, it would have been a nightmare for the Mongols.

After retreating once, the Mongols invaded for the third time in 1287, and this time they entered Vietnam through a waterway, not the jungle.

However, Tran Hung Dao drove a stake into the river bed, and at low tide, when the Mongol ships stopped, they attacked and defeated the Mongols.

” However.. “

“They’re not stupid and there’s no way they’ll be able to follow along. No, rather, the nomads first moved to the Hafkas Mountains.”

It is unclear why the nomads moved to the Hafkas Mountains, but with a little twist of the head, it was possible to reason.

The fact that they gave up the advantages of cavalry meant that they had a clear means of victory, which was clearly a gamble against the Empire.

Rommel slowly folded his second finger, leaving only one left.

And Rommel slowly began to fold one of the remaining fingers.

“The third and last, we just have to set up a counter-fighting strategy.”

“A counter-fire operation? Their cavalry for that.”

As if dissatisfied with Rommel’s words, Hergé slightly inflated her cheeks.

I asked for an easy way to defeat the cavalry, but they hit it head-on.

Rommel’s words were too comprehensive for Princess Hergès to hear.

“Instead, you should plan your tactics well.”

“What do you mean by tactic…?”

“Attracting enemies, balancing the battlefield asymmetrically, encircling them and annihilating them.”

” …. “

Hergé tilted her head as if she didn’t understand Rommel’s words.

Rommel scratched his head slightly, then took out the six coins from his pocket and placed them on the table, making it easy for Hergé to understand.

“I will use silver coins as nomads and gold coins as our Imperial Army.”

To make it easier for Herze to understand, Rommel placed the silver coins towards him and the gold coins towards Hergé.

“If they fight in the plains where they are most confident, the nomads will take advantage of their cavalry advantage and push straight into our positions.”

Rommel pushes three silver coins towards the gold coin.

With three silver coins, the nomads were charging towards the Imperial Army.

“…”

Thanks to Rommel’s vivid explanation, Hergé was already concentrating on the simulated battlefield that Rommel was commanding and moving.

“First, we set up shield soldiers and spearmen that can withstand as much as possible against cavalry.”

Rommel pulls the gold coin in the middle out of the three gold coins.

At that moment, the battlefield turns into an abyss.

The nomads on horseback charge towards the Imperial Army, and the Imperial infantry raise their shields and raise their spears to somehow block the cavalry.

And the two groups start to get closer, and then they clash.

The resounding screams of people and horses.

“On the left, the cavalry is stationed, but just like the infantry, you have to withstand the attacks of the nomads as much as possible.”

Gold coins, the imperial cavalry rush towards the cavalry of the oncoming nomads.

Thus, the equestrian war begins, the nomads roar and try to break through the cavalry of the imperial army, but the imperial cavalry does not deal with the cavalry of the nomads properly.

Hit and fall, fall and hit.

So the battlefield enters a stalemate.

“But… there’s no point in just holding on, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, no matter how well the left and middle rows block it, it will break through one day.”

Hergé questioned Rommel’s simulated war.

However, Rommel smiles and pulls the last gold coin to the right.

As a result, a single silver coin in front of Rommel retreats greatly.

“On the right, the elites among the elite are placed.”

” no way..! “

“While the cavalry on the right sweeps away the cavalry of the opposing nomads, the middle on the left holds out as much as possible. And the cavalry of the Empire’s superiority continues to strike forward.”

Suddenly, the battlefield changed into a strange shape.

The left and middle begin to slide out, but only the right hits and rises.

The battlefield was asymmetrical.

“And the moment they reach a certain point, the superior and superior cavalry of the Empire continue to strike to the left as if encircling the enemy until they meet the cavalry on the left. If that happens…”

Hergé looked at the battlefield that Rommel had created with unbelievable eyes.

The nomads were trapped under the siege of the imperial army.

Horses are pierced by spears, howling, cavalry falling off their horses, and imperial cavalry slaughtering the nomads brutally.

“Checkmate.”

“This..this is what..”

Rommel slowly slipped the three silver coins into his pocket.

All of a sudden, only gold coins representing the Imperial Army remained on the table.

Rommel slowly raised his head to meet Hergé.

And Rommel’s mouth begins to slowly open.

“The hammer strikes the enemy as long as the anvil holds up. This is the Hammer and Anvil Tactic.”

“..who are you..who are you?”

Herje’s eyes were filled with feelings of awe and respect for Rommel.

“Grif Rommel, the third son of the Griff family.”

And Princess Herje sincerely decided to have this man.

Her eyes, filled with feelings of awe and respect, began to show greed little by little.
