Louis shared the credit with Count Fos for his own strategic considerations.
Before arriving at Snow Eagle City, he pieced together Count Fos's character from information obtained from the Daily Intelligence System.
Weak, vain, self-centered, and eager to claim glory without contribution.
A typical case of narcissistic personality disorder.
Such a person thrives on flattery and fears isolation.
Therefore, rather than letting him scheme secretly, it's better to proactively share some of the war merits to earn favor and convenience.
After all, anyone with eyes can see who actually did the work.
More importantly, according to the Northern Governor's Military Department's summons, the various armies of Snow Peak County are under the command of the Fifth Legion.
And the nominal commander of the Fifth Legion is Count Fos.
This means that without Duke Edmund's directive, no matter how much merit Louis achieves, he has to operate under this fool's command in the end.
