“It’s a night raid!”
Though the ar Fortress Baikal, they had nevertheless exclusively been the ones on the offensive until now Naturally, the couard down, and the soldiers showed gaps on guard duty due to their fatigue
A detachround!”
“Pay back all we have endured tenfold!”
“Uooooooooh!!”
Surprised by this sudden night ae If there was a silver lining, it was that there weren't a lot of enened commander was a capable man
“Do not be flustered!”
The coht by the name of Saimon, who now personally drew his sword to enter combat with the enemy He valiantly commanded the men and raised the troops’ morale
“The eneer to let the main army know of this ambush!+ A hundred foot soldiers will follow my lead!”
The commander’s shrewd response allowed the situation to stabilize relatively quickly as the soldiers regained their coe had already been done
“What are the casualties shaping up to be?”
“The casualties of our troops still need to be aggregated But…”
“But what?”
“Five catapults were destroyed”
Saihtly at his subordinate’s report
‘It was a diversion from the start’
The ene the siege weapons Though the attack had been repelled as best they could, the dareat
The next day…
“These fools! Behead the commander who could not prevent this raid at once, as well as the soldiers ere standing on guard duty – every last one of them”
The First Prince’s order to behead thee shocked and panicked Marquis Trauss
“Your Highness, executing those responsible here will cause a disturbance in our soldiers’the their own errors would be…”
“What responsibility can be entrusted to a so-called commander who cannot even adequately respond to a cah! This matter is closed Carry out my will at once!
Even Marquis Trauss’s remonstrations could not stop the First Prince’s stubbornness In the end, the on-site coht Saimon, as well as close to a hundred troops, were all decapitated
“Isn’t this way overboard?”
“That good sir Saiht”
“Precisely”
The soldiers were all stricken with fear and unease as they watched the procession In their minds, notions of the First Prince’s cruelty and viciousness were being gradually ce up pace from this day forth
Perhaps it because they suerilla detachh they could not inflict the saht, the relentless raids put the First Prince’s troops er as rew in front of this iron castle that refused to fall Around the point that the co had to be done…
“Shall we get started then?”
Siegfried, the aide dispatched by the Republic, hness, this is an e to the First Prince, his face turned deathly pale
“What is it?”
“Count… Count Sainbridge, as supervising the supplies, was killed in action, sir The supplies the!
“What madness is this?!”
The prince shot up from his seat How could the supply unit be attacked, when all of the Second Prince’s troops were presently holed up in Fortress Baikal?
‘Perhaps…?’
The prince suspected that so to the rear had betrayed him
“Who could it be? Which bastard dared to betrayThe ones who attacked the supplies were…
“They were forces frohness They have stepped into this war by attacking the supply unit”
“……”
The prince felt as if he was about to collapse
“Wha-… ould they…? Byron, you rel!!”
It was only now that the First Prince finally realized why the Second Prince turned to Republicanisame from the start
This was an absolute worst-case situation
The triuinning of the war shaped up to all be a lie that caused them to be back into this corner Not only was thebut the Hildes Republic had joined the war The pillaging of the supply unit on top of that was a near-fatal blow
The commanders quickly tried to control the flow of information, but all was leaked to the troops in time
“Is it true that the Hildes Republic has joined the war?”
“shi+t, word is that the supply unit was razed to the ground to boot”
“Is that e only have porridge for today’s rations?”
“dae And that prince bastard has absolutely lost it, screeching at us to keep attacking…”
“Fk!! Everything’s just absolutely fked”
Viscount Sabian sighed as he watched word spread like wildfire a the ent a back at this rate?’
The fact that infor regulatory measures meant that the spies of the Republic were already present ast the men, or some of their men had converted and defected to the Republic
As the Republicans always said:
[We are everywhere]
