Chapter 122 (1/2)

The south side of Torlot Fortress.

A group of people appeared far from the Fortress.

They were being led by Anna and Hobart as stealthily as possible away from the Torlot Fortress.

“Halt!”

When the command fell from Hobart, all the soldiers stopped.

While the soldiers were resting, Hobart approached Anna.

Before they departed from Torlot Fortress, they were given an operational order from Luke.

And it stated that they had to go to their current location.

“What is written there? Is it for us to go to the Northern Command office and ask for help?”

“There is no way such obvious information would be written here.”

Anna responded with a pained look. It wasn’t because she was pissed at Hobart, but it was the Command office that she didn’t like.

After the war had started, the message had been sent over to the Command office through magic several times.

Each time, the command office only sent them disappointing responses like: ‘We can’t send you any more troops because we don’t want the Volga to increase any more assault.’

The knights and soldiers of the Fortress knew that the North Command office had left them for themselves.

However, they didn’t think that it was to an extent where they wouldn’t even be supported when faced with battle.

‘The commander was angry at this as well. So, there is no way that it is a simple request for troops.’

And Anna’s expectations were on point.

Anna and Hobert were surprised when they saw what was written in the order letter.

“Can we really disturb the flow of the enemy in this way?” Asked Hobart

“Well, it sure is something we have to try,” responded Anna.

The two of them decided to carry out the operation Luke had given them and ordered the soldiers. The soldiers listened to the instructions and began to move quickly.

“Move right away and collect the branches.!”

“Now, hurry up! We need to finish this before sunset!”

While a group of soldiers cut and collected branches, the other bunch of them tied them together and made them into brooms.

Dozens of brooms that had been made were hung on the saddle of a horse, and some soldiers began to run up and down the path with horses that had the brooms attached.

Srrrr!

As dozens of horses ran diligently on the past, bluish dust rose.

The dust began to grow thicker and scattered high in the sky with the adding of horses.

Tyron was looking over at the Torlot Fortress from the camp, which was on the other side of the river. He was looking at the fierce battle that was happening under the bloody sunset.

The officers who were behind him asked,

“Commander, the enemy defense is still strong and stubborn.”

“What about changing operation…?”

They had been attacking alternately, one after the other, but the Imperial forces in the Fortress were so strong that they were able to resist the force and the damage given by the Volga republic.

Of course, their morale was falling, and their will to fight was dropping too.

Even if they won, they would win with a fair amount of ill-feeling.

However, Tyron’s thoughts were different from those of his staff.

“Let the attacks continue.”

“Sire!”

“The flame burns brightest before it dies. If we keep going from this point, the enemies will not be able to stand anymore.”

After hearing those words, the staff had nothing to say.

It was because of the status and the knowledge of the person who was speaking. The man who had led the revolution of the Volga to a Republican when everyone else thought it was impossible.

“Sir, this is important!”

A knight had rushed in to report.

“A large army is coming in from the south of the fortress.”

“What? Is that true?”

At the question from Tyron, the knight nodded and said,

“I saw a lot of dust on the highway. There must be a whole bunch of Imperial army coming for their aide.”

“Hmm…”

At the end of the words from the knight, the staff began to think again.

If the knight’s words were true, they had to reconsider their order to attack continuously.
