Chapter 291 - 153. The Approaching Darkness (2/2)
The distance between the border wall and Aslan’s capital was around seven days’ travel What I said could be construed as the ar only three days to conquer all the territory between here and the capital
That was basically asking for the impossible
However, there was this one other way to nore all the territories and cities, and simply conquer the capital, instead
This action wouldthe supply route behind theue in the process The level of difficulty here was so high that a co worn down by fatigue and hunger
However, that’s what I planned to try, forcibly if that’s what’s required I definitely wasn’t going to sit back and let the va to life whatever underhanded scheme they had cooked up
“But sire, that will burden the soldiers too greatly!”
“Our forces will be h to conquer the enemy’s capital city, but the losses to our own side will be just as extensive, sire!”
When the Paladin Captains raised their objections, I replied with, “Sih”
Regardless of what the plan of the vampire bastards was, it was my role to invade the capital and rescue Tina What I wanted to achieve here was preventing another undead-ification of the entire capital, like what had happened back in the kingdoh the presence of the eured that the ar their time for that opportune ether, anyway Their citizens are distrustful, whiletheh to tell anyone with a brain that the enemy forces stationed by the border eren’t the part of Aslan’s regular army
The ones behind this whole event didn’t have enough influence to rally the entire country As such, this was our chance Such a thing was only possible because Tina wasn’t the one issuing these orders in the first place
“If we don’t conclude this war as soon as possible, the ones to suffer the most will be the common people”

“Lead the ar in front of the pack…” I looked up from the map and scanned the captains oncethat, I left the coh auto my head hazy, too
“This ht?”
“Yup, it has to be”
“…Well, we’re supposed to ‘train like the real deal’, so…”
I turnedto those murmurs
If you included the new recruits, the number of combatants currently stationed by the border as close to twenty thousand Thedazed faces They had been staying in the ca fro fireith sticks, I figured that they were still suffering froone through
Charlotte walked up toa short break?”
“More people will die the longer we rest,” I replied
Right about now, the Aslan capital should be a pit of confusion and tur authority, then it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see a festival of blood already unfolding there
Iabout this feels weird”
“Regarding what, Your Majesty?”
“Why would vaht possess enough destructive power to bend a country to their will, but in order to exercise that power, they would have to h preparations, as monumental in scale as the task at hand
For instance, during the incident back in Loenitor Va a heavy blow upon the failure of that operation
Well, they had lost one marquis and many other nobles back then, after all I had no doubt that this event was only possible because a va in the first place
“I can’t figure out what those bastards are thinking”
WuxiaWorldS i t e Only
What exactly were they ai chaos in the Theocratic Empire?
But the price for such a result seeh, didn’t it? If they failed this attempt as well, then they would really lose the foundation needed to create a kingdom of vampires
“Your Majesty, those bastards are arrogant,” said Charlotte, taking her cape off to drape aroundthe weather a bit too chilly “Although they are cunning, their weakness lies with their arrogance, which causes theainst the down on humanity, is it?” I raised my head to look up A bitter sht of the ht sky “It would be nice if that’s really the case”
