Chapter 6

Glaiftrum War Chronicles The Salvation Strategy of Matthias, the Smiling Strategist Matthias von Lauschenbach, one of the heroes of the ancient Kingdom of Glaiftrum on the continent of Endelant, is a reincarnated individual. Renowned for his extraordinary intelligence and foresight, which some claim includes precognitive abilities, he becomes known as “Matthias the Wise General” or “Matthias the Foresighted.” Furthermore, due to his calm demeanor and confident smile when offering strategies during deadly battles against powerful foes, he earns the nickname “The Smiling Strategist.” However, Matthias was once just an ordinary person in Japan, carrying the memories of his past life. While his skills in information analysis and presentation surpass those of most people in this world, his knowledge of military tactics is limited to what he absorbed from novels and movies. Additionally, he suffers from physical frailty, lacks any talent in martial arts, and has no magical aptitude. Moreover, the technological innovations he attempts to introduce based on his knowledge from Japan are deemed too dangerous, with the potential to destabilize the world, and thus are suppressed.

Determined to protect his beloved family and comrades, Matthias resolves to fight against formidable enemies by combining forces with a group of highly skilled agents led by a great sage, along with the help of his capable friends…

As outlined in the synopsis, the protagonist possesses only the incomplete knowledge he gained in Japan and does not have any overpowered cheat-like abilities. The story focuses primarily on political maneuvering, intrigue, and military strategy, with minimal romance and absolutely no harem elements. In the early parts of the story, Matthias operates mainly behind the scenes, gathering and manipulating information, so there will be few combat scenes featuring him directly.
