Chapter 48

【”―― Looks like they got there first”】

Looking at the pillar of light in the sky, Cabernard had a presentiain been thwarted

Maybe it was a simple natural phenomenon, like some type of aurora borealis, but as a realist and as a military commander, Cabernard had to anticipate the worst

That aside, how in the world had the enemy arrived before him?

They may have been initially closer to the city, but Cabernard's ar et ahead of theriffons”】

That was the conclusion Cabernard ultie speed of Lapland's soldiers, this was the only explanation that ht, it would a and the very few elites that could ride griffons

―― Perhaps that mysteriousWas he supposed to keep onor to retreat and prepare better for a future assault?

He had brought along ured even the ainst such weapons

However, if he rong, itthe fourth squadron to yet another crushi+ng defeat, which would very likely push so Lapland

Though Cabernard was a military commander, he was also a diplonored

Besides, if the light he saw really was a er a viable supply base

The large forces of the Asgard army were a heavy burden on supplies If they did not replenish their reserves in Berglund, they would end up lacking provisions

In the worst case scenario, the troops could end up having to cohed the political impact of a hypothetical failure, as well as the different military aspects of the situation, Cabernard decided to withdraw

【”―― Your Excellency! There is a griffon-rider approaching frolund!”】

【”Ready the ballistas! Prepare to intercept the ene to let him withdraw peacefully Even so, the fourth squadron's arriffon that seeh the sky, Cabernard smiled ferociously

『You just have to threaten theard commander was not incolund was not worth it

He could no longer count on the provisions and supplies he was expecting to obtain from the count

Even if he decided to sustain his ar of resources from the city's residents, that would e of action in Lapland from here on out

However, that choice would also put Lapland in a troubling position

Following their victory in Crowdagen, what Lapland wanted the ard

Despite Lapland's triu losses in the battle that preceded it were still ain the support of the neighboring countries, they needed an achieveain, the flow of this war has actually changed” But losing Berglund would have the opposite effect

Considering all this, Bernst could guess that the the co between two options He could either choose to take on the difficult task of occupying Berglund, with the resolve to take some losses, or he could wait for a better opportunity and keep his losses to athat we have to provoke them so that they won't counter-attack? Shouldn't it be the opposite?)

『If we get their commander to think that our aim is to exhaust his troops, he ithdraw Any decent commander would do so How do you not understand that? Youthat Kurats was as clueless as ever when it caical tactics, Bernst felt his head hurt

Granted, this was the precisely the reason why Kurats was so easy for him to manipulate, but somewhere, in a corner of his heart, this weak point still made Bernst feel helpless

『Don't lose your focus, they're attacking!』

【”Oh shi+t!”】

The Asgard arriffon and started firing sis, each of these shots were powered by the explosions of ems

The ballistas were created to destroy ainst h Kurats would not die froa and her griffon

But before they could be hit, Kurats barely e the trajectories of the shots with the use of a defensive barrier

【”Sorry about that, Kurats You saved us there”】

【”No, I' in such a dangerous place”】

While Kurats and Frigga were having this conversation, they were shot again, but this tiy

In this situation, Kurats' lack of skill with hts to control ular defensive spell and an anti-ic defensive spell at the same time

Moreover, he could not fire any attack spells while he was defending himself
