“You’ll never be disappointed”
He then took out ahow he thought the siege of Lobiance Castle would proceed And once all the explanations were over…
“Very good I like that even if we do fail, ouldn’t cause significant dae to our allies”
Milton continued to shower Viscount Sabian with praise
“Thank you for the acknowledgments Count Forrest”
“Viscount Sabian”
“Yes?”
“I’ll have you lead this operation Please do your best to take Lobiance Castle”
“Really? You’re really going to have y that you’ve come up with Who else would execute it best but you?”
“But…”
Viscount Sabian couldn’t say anything
They had just met today He hadn’t been introduced to the Count by anyone, and his career was a ainst hiy was surprising but to have hi
‘What exactly does he see in me?’
Milton saw that Viscount Sabian was bewildered
“You’re not confident?”
“No, that’s not it”
Viscount Sabian got hiether at Milton’s short question
“I can do it If you leave it to me, I’ll surely live up to your expectations”
“Good”
When Milton laughed and patted him on the shoulder, Viscount Sabian made a resolution
‘I must show him my abilities I’ll become the person that you must have and need, Count Forrest’
Meanwhile, Milton only had one thought
‘Dibs’
Holed up in Lobiance Castle, the Second Prince’s are They collected as much food as possible and placed equipment on the castle walls to prepare for enemy attacks Just as they had finished their preparations and begun to wait, Milton appeared with his Southern Ar on top of the castle walls, the Second Prince gulped as he saw theed to last until the North sent reinforcements from the Republic, then it would be his victory But if the walls collapsed before that, he would be defeated
‘Let’s do this’
Although it was like a corneredto bite a cat, the Second Prince was still deter the Lobiance Castle walls
“Attack!!”
“Wahhhhh!”
“Defeat the rebels!!”
The soldiers yelled as they attacked the walls
“Fire the arrows! Don’t let theet close to the walls!”
The Second Prince’s ar the sky and a battle broke out But…
“That’s strange”
The Commander of the Northern Army frowned Was there a problem at the walls? No, that wasn’t it Rather, it was too easy to defend against the ene catapults to attack the walls, but that was it They weren’t using ladders or grappling hooks to cli from a safe distance Since shi+elds could be used to protect archers and siege weapons, there weren't any issues in the eyes of the defenders But the proble that?”
Why was the ene so listlessly? Lobiance Castle walls weren't as high as the former Baikal Fortress walls If they wanted to, they could easily scale the walls using grappling hooks and ladders So, why? Why won’t they? He couldn’t understand why the enee, the commander reported this matter to his superiors But, the other co
Naturally, the Second Prince was troubled

“Do you knohat they’re intending to do?”
One of his advisors answered hi about the next battle, Your Highness”
“The next battle?”
“Yes, Your Highness The Republican forces behind us is probably worrying thee, then it will be impossible for them to withstand the attack fro they can to minimize their casualties”
