Chapter 85: Milton vs Siegfried (1)

“Is King August yet to be captured?”

“I’fried looked discontent at his er’s report

“Bother Did he catch wind of our plans and go into hiding? Things have becofried’s real objective of this plan was the live capture of King August

The present head of the Lester Kingdom was in reality Princess Leila, both syust was still the officially recognized representative that reigned over this nation He was a hulected state affairs because he did not want to let go of his power, and he was trying to flee to foreign lands when a crisis was befalling his nation…

But regardless, the official sovereign ust von Lester

If King August was captured and a declaration of surrender was extracted froround in this war And if – though Siegfried was convinced there was no possibility, but if – either Princess Leila or Milton Forrest accepted and confor’s declaration of surrender, this ould be over at that very moment

But all would still be well if they did not

In thewere absolute The , Princess Leila’s legitifried to use thatto sow uncertainty ast the evacuees and nobles

Nofrom the people was, the fickleness of public sentiment meant that it was always accompanied by a ust alive and got their hands on that document of surrender, he could create a rift in this nation and destroy it within an year Siegfried had already designed the subsequent plans forKing August in the first place… this is proving harder than I thought’

As far as he was concerned, King August was an exceedingly incompetent and selfish monarch And indeed, that was the truth But as they say, eachshowed a considerable knack for, it was saving his own skin

Though he was one of the first to evacuate from the Capital, he decided to conceal hi the border at once His future course of action depended on how many nobles defected

Because of this self-preserving personality of his that prevented hiht by the checkpoint that Siegfried had established on his projected route The recent news of the Republicans sealing off the border areas and arresting nobles only served to fried was a man who excelled in both his scholarly studies and enius enabled him to control the fate of entire nations as he pleased…

But he did not anticipate that a king of some backwater nation would be this petty, and crafty This forfried’s ironclad, i that time, the operation that Viscount Sabian devised was relayed to Milton

“Is this what they ?”

Receiving an outline of the plan through a carrier pigeon, Milton slightly marveled at the turn of events

Milton had invited Viscount Sabian to take a seat a of this war, but he declined Though he was disappointed at the time, it was because Sabian redo on by a thread

Viscount Sabian did not skip a beat while Siegfried was stationary for the ti and issued his next orders

This operation was bold, but also seemed reckless in some manners

Whichever it may be

‘This is the only way to drive out the Republicans fro it, Milton burned the blueprint of their operation and mobilized his men at once He did not doubt Viscount Sabian, for he too believed that this was the way for thefried

There were always bound to be hindrances, but Siegfried had been certain they would win this war in the end No matter what cards the opponent played, the Republicans had already proven their overwhelth Frodo a frontal battle with Siegfried

In essence, they were acknowledging that they could not win

The princess was evacuating the citizens, and the large– had abandoned their country

Their one and only hope were the forces known as the Southern arfried believed that they would not be blindsided as long as they went about this prudently

Milton Forrest posed a potential threat by hiding his whereabouts, but he could not take action beyond that If he took the initiative and revealed hi heads with hith

All they needed to do was take the tirip on the territories around the Capital, while undertaking their ust

The one problem was…

“It’s only that it will take time”

But beyond that, there appeared to be no issues

More relaxed, Siegfried smiled as he observed the present situation on his map

He had attained so the Lester Kingdoe his reputation for pohen he returned back hoerous if the Fuhrer thinks I’ve beco It’s not time yet to co his future…

“Secretary Siegfried, an urgent report has coe of unease at the er’s franticness

“We have been ordered to mobilize all men and return home i much more real

The banquet had been prepared, and all they had to do was take their ti on the ene from?

“How did this come to be? I want the details”

“That’s… word is that an enemy has invaded our hofried’s iht was that this could sidom had recently lost the force of 50,000 troops that they had dispatched to the Lester Kingdo with the Master that was Duke Derek Brans

It was possible that they could attack in retaliation with the thirst of vengeance, but Siegfried put the appropriate measures in place to prevent that future before he set off They had once again forreed to attack the Strabus Kingdom if their army mobilized

It was essentially idom to move their army and attack the Hildes Republic

‘So how?’
