Chapter 683 - The Sunfire Kingdom (1/2)
Revolution Army's main camp
”What? We lost Braum City!? How is this possible? The Lionax Kingdom's main force is right ahead of us, and we have Ulrick there. A mere noble house will not be able to capture Braum City!” Julius could not believe what he heard from his subordinate's report.
Braum City was so important to the Revolution Army as the city was the source of his army provision. He put Ulrick, the second Myth Rank Knight, from his side to guard the city with twelve thousand armies. Braum City should be safe as long as the Lionax Kingdom did not send their main army there.
”I am not sure, My Lord. We lost contact with Ulrick and our people in Braum City. We have sent two groups to check up on the situation, but no one returned.” Stan shook his head as he was not sure either what happened within Braum City. He was sending a message, asking for more supplies. However, the messenger never returned, the supply never came, and he sent a group to check.
Even after almost twenty hours, there was no response from Braum City. He assumed the Lionax Kingdom had captured the city back, and he immediately reported this to Lord Julius. Braum City was their source of food for their armies as the food there was enough to feed their army for two months. That should be enough until the end of the war, but they would get screwed if they did not capture the city.
”Is it possible for Ulrick to betray us, My Lord?” Stan could not help but think so. He had the same thoughts that Braum City should be safe unless the Lionax Kingdom's main force attacked the city. However, it was not possible for the Lionax Kingdom to do that since they were currently fighting. The only possibility was that Ulrick, the one who was in charge in Braum City, betrayed the Revolution Army.
Julius furrowed his brow as it was indeed a possibility. However, he remembered Ulrick's past, and there was no way for that to happen. Something else must happen in Braum City, 'But what?'.
At this moment, someone entered the room. Julius looked up, and the frown disappeared from his forehead as he smiled and got up from the chair. He approached the man within the black armor and greeted him respectfully. ”Good evening, Sir Powan. I wonder what made Sir Powan come here?”
The man called Sir Powan nodded his head in response and looked at Stan. The latter bowed his head and left the room. Stan was aware that Sir Powan wanted to talk with Lord Julius alone, so he left on his own. When he left the room, he closed the door and told the guards at the door to leave.
Sir Powan was coming from the Sunfire Kingdom from another world. The force that Lord Julius invited to help them fight the Lionax Kingdom. Sir Powan was one of the five Great Generals of the Sunfire Kingdom and was the Legend Rank Warrior. That was why Lord Julius acted courteously around Sir Powan. They were relying on Sir Powan to fight off against the two Guardians of the Lionax Kingdom.
Meanwhile, inside the room, as soon as Stan left, Sir Powan looked toward Julius and asked. ”You seem troubled, Sir Julius. What's wrong?” The latter let out a sigh and replied to the Primordial Rank Warrior what happened to Braum City. ”Sir Powan has a sharp sense.” Julius nodded his head. ”We lost contact with Braum City, the key piece and strategic city for us….” He told Sir Powan how vital the city was for them.
”I see….” Sir Powan nodded his head after hearing everything from Julius. ”This is a problem, especially with our reinforcement which will arrive in two weeks at the fastest and two months at the latest.” The current situation was that the Revolution Army was holding back and minimizing their movement after encountering the Lionax Kingdom's main army.
The Lionax Kingdom's Left Guardian and Right Guardian were Legend Rank Knight, and Sir Powan could not handle the two at the same time. They exchanged small skirmishes from time to time, but they never went all out. Now their source of food was cut off, and they could no longer maintain the current situation.
”Of course, we still have food from the other cities, but those provisions can only maintain our army for two weeks at most. Do you think Sir Esien and Sir Vandim can arrive in two weeks, Sir Powan?” Julius asked in a hopeful tone. The two names he mentioned were two of the Five Great Generals of the Sunfire Kingdom and also Legend Rank, just like Sir Powan. The reinforcement was their winning condition.
