132 Second Invasion.txt (2/2)

The reason for this is that they neglected the frontier and the research and development of magic tools was not as keen as the Empire.

The demon army swallowed up the kingdom's frontier, expanded its power, and then began to march toward the eastern metropolis.

News of the attack somehow reached the royal capital.

''The demon army has split into three groups and is advancing towards the three cities of Charl, Riggle and Etoile. They are estimated to be around 150,000 each!

150,000 each?

When the officials in King's Landing received the news, they were astonished and shivered.

The three cities are the main ones, and losing all three would hinder the fate of the country.

Do you think a mere demon can understand such a strategy?

It's not uncommon for people to still disregard demons, even though the other side is said to be the armies of the demon world, even though they have lost much of the western part of the country.

''But this is our chance.''

One of the Sixteen Pillar Jie said.

''If we strike the head of the enemy's army here, the enemy's chain of command will collapse. Then we will be able to rebel.''

The main force of the Royal Army is still around.

What they say is absolutely true.

The fifty thousand strong kingdom army and each lord's private army still remained intact.

With the adventurers, they couldn't say that it was impossible to recover their inferiority as long as they crushed the chain of command.

''But we've been totally defeated so far, right?

The king indeed couldn't hide his anxiety and gave a blaming glance to the Sixteen Pillars Jie.

''We hadn't gone out yet, you know.

The sixteen heroes replied confidently.

''This is a series of defeats without using our trump card and without using the elite of our army. Although it's true that the loss of territory is painful, but rest assured that it's far from a fatal wound, Your Majesty.''

The military commander-in-chief also makes a smile and speaks to the king.

'That's true, but ......

Since it is true that the main forces are not fighting at all, the king has regained some composure.

''It's a noble mouthful, but it's also a fact that the army has lost all of its battles so far, right?

The Prime Minister sarcastically pours cold water on the Commander-in-Chief and the Sixteen Wise Men in a sarcastic manner.

A disgruntled Commander-in-Chief retorts, ”Don't worry.

''Rest assured. We have successfully defeated the demon army and liberated the stolen territory for you to see.

Please.

A word from the king set the tone for the conversation.
