Built within the Zalda Kingdom’s territory, was an Ortomea Empire's fort
The fort was built at the foot of the e that lies on the border between the two countries, it was the most important fort for the invasion of Ortomea Empire
In one of the roo her body on the sofa listening to Seria's report
”The personnel and goods we have gathered at the Notiz fort would arrive here at least within athe supply status”
Seria cut her words after she read the numbers listed in the documents
Notiz fort had becoathered from the Ortomea Empire
Frooods to the highway and then brought toward the inner territory of the Zalda Kingdom
”Good Finally, ill finish all of this mess”
Sardina shaked her head while sighing
This invasion had ended up as a costly invasion that span more than one year
The disaster happened after the first battle against the Zalda Kingdom
For Sardina who had thought that the war could end within six month, she could only curse her luck for the war that was still on-going even after a year
Sardina who had nearly lost the sa the battle of Notiz Plain, stopped the advance of her troops in order to observe the an tothe border of their nation with the Zalda Kingdom
Being wary of an intervention by a great nation such as ErnestGora, it was a natural decision for her to divide her ar one <tln: souard=”” force”=”” but=”” hey=”” the=”” author=”” uses=”” invading=”” words=”” as=”” for=”” the=”” purpose=”” of=”” her=”” dividing=”” the=”” arora=”” actually=”” cut=”” off=”” the=”” supply=”” lines=”” of=”” the=”” invading=”” force,=”” she=”” needs=”” to=”” save=”” the=”” the=”” main=”” force=””>
Even when she thought back on it, Sardina didn't think that her decision rong
As a result however, it was also true that Sardina's decision was one of the reasons that prolonged the conquest of the Zalda Kingdom
If she had advanced with the ardom’s main army as a whole, it was possible for her to capture the capital city of Periveria and dom by now
”Finally, I can get rid of that bothersome man”
Reest cause of all thisher thumbnail
It was one of her bad habits whenever Sardina felt irritated
”Is this about Joshua Belharres?”
”Thanks to thathas become a complete mess”
After his father Belharres’ honorable death during the battle of Notiz Plain, Joshua had withdrew the surviving soldiers
Although she had suffered the same casualties as the enemy, since the enemy commander-in-chief ended up dead, victory was indeed in Sardina's hand
Although the competence of individual soldiers was i warfare werecooperation and command capabilities
For Sardina, it was natural for her to feel convinced that she had obtained victory after the death of General Belharres, which the Zalda people thought of as the Kingdom's Guardian
Indeed, within the Zalda Kingdom, no one boasted the saeneral
However, the invasion army that should have proceeded smoothly met a counter-attack from the Zalda forces under the co the invasion force to end up with high casualties and fail
Because of ErnestGora’s movement, it was impossible to increase the invasion troops, but the invasion force should have enough power to invade deep into the Zalda Kingdoeneral was already dead, and the enemy chain of command should have become a complete mess too
But such force was defeated by Joshua Belharres
It was not because Sardina was stupid, Joshua hadthe e, which caused her to praise him for his superb surprise attack
And with Joshua’s ability in leading a defensive battle, coupled with the sympathy after his father death, he had attracted the hearts ofthe country and their territory
Thanks to that he was hailed as a hero
At that moment, the outcast third son jumped into fame
”We've been te in mountainous warfare From here on out, I won't let you do as you please, Joshua Belharres”
In a war, the eous it would become
But then again, even if that thought was not wrong, on a battlefield nothing was certain
Sharp doraphy unable to lead an army properly
In addition, the ht have exerted an outstanding power in plain battle, but in the mountainous areas where there was a difference in elevations, such armor would only becoth
However, Orto soldiers who had experience in irregular battlefields as well as provide the use of the locals
With the soldiers quality beco equal, the element that could determine the victor would be the number of soldiers one possessed
(With the Zalda Kingdoic victory could have been achieved I should nota prey escape once is enough)
Carelessness, self-conceit, arrogance
Sardina knew that such momentary mistakes could lead her into disaster
Strategic planning fills only 99 percent of the victory conditions A tactical victory was also needed to fill the 1 percent gap and make it a 100 decisive victory
”Also, there is a letter sent by his hness Sardina”
When Sardina was drifting through the sea of thoughts, Seria took out a letter from her bosom
”From father huh? It dom needs to be finished soon, no?”
While sighing, Sardina sat up and fixed her posture
For the past year, all the letters that had been delivered using fast horse and birds once a week had the same content
(Father is too i, but)
Naturally, there were lith, and mobilization capability
Not only that, the fighting along the border with ErnestGora on the western side of the continent had not ended yet
It was natural that the Emperor wanted to end the battle quickly
”Give me the letter”
Seria handed the letter to her silently
”Che”
Sardina's face turned cloudy after she read the letter from the Emperor, and after she read one of the sentences inside the letter, she clicked her tongue
Such an act was very rare for Sardina who had always kept her elegant appearance as the first princess of the Empire
