Chapter 233 (1/2)

Arriving at the Alvera, they had to prepare for the siege, due to which the anti-revolution army had to retreat 5 kilometers.

In that place, they began to let down their things and started to prepare for the siege.

“I don’t get it at all, it isn’t like the battle is done, so why are we being suddenly visited?”

Commander of the 1st squadron shook his head thinking about the visit from the Pope which made no sense to them.

“Isn’t it for soldiers who have placed their lives on the front line and for the men who have suffered from the war, and the loss they had to face? I heard that they are considering the rebels too.”

At those words of Marquis Valentino, the commander of the 1st squadron seemed agitated.

“Are they going to negotiate a winning war? What would the rebels do it they are known of this, what are the Regent and the other men around the Pope even thinking…?”

“Uhm, I have noticed that the Immortal division will be escorting the Pope. And who would dare to touch the Pope when Arch Duke Gregory is right next to her?”

If the words of Bishop Maxim were indeed true, then no one would be willing to lay a hand on the Pope.

Arch Duke Gregory, was one of the best knights that the continent could offer, and a guardian of that kind was accompanying the Pope with some men of the knight’s division.

Rather, the rebels would be very wary of whether they should even join the battle or not, once the news spreads over.

“If that is the case, then everything is good. But, why is Arch Duke Gregory coming all the way, who will look after the capital if something erupts there?”

“Isn’t it because he is worried about the safety of our Pope?”

“But would that be enough to relieve himself from his duty.”

“Whatever be the case, it is impossible for us to understand it by talks, so let’s just do what we can in our situation.”

With the end of the meeting, the commanders set off in their paths to see if an enemy would intercept.

As the Pope was arriving, the defenses have been thickened.

Du du du du!
