Chapter 111: To the Eastern Front (3) (2/2)
‘Is thishidom’s side? How could a man like this be no more than a Viscount?’
“Ahem… Viscount Sabian”
“Yes, is there a question?”
“No, not quite…”
Marquis Bologna was about to say so, but he faltered when he saw Milton at Viscount Sabian’s rear
“No, it’s nothing”
This hen Marquis Bologna resolved: when there were fewer prying eyes, he would make contact with Sabian in secret and offer that he transfer to his co forward a transfer offer to aan allied nation was an act that was rude at the least, but had the potential to cause friction and create a fissure
Despite knowing this, the genius that was Randol Sabian was htful owner He’d be dodos turn in Marquis Bologna’sit too obvious, you old uncle’
Milton adna was not so on his own, but a Marquis in charge of the entirety of one frontier It was only a given that he would highly value competent operational staff – wherever he came across them
But Milton was not concerned in the least
The reason being…
[Randol Sabian]

Viscount Sabian’s abilities were as above The Special Traits of Strategy and Tactics had been levelled to the th had surpassed a value of 80
Ih as 93
From Milton’s experiences thus far, there was no need to worry over a possibility of betrayal if the Loyalty stat was greater than 80 And if it surpassed 90, the individual e than his own life As such, Milton had the conviction that Sabian would not be shaken, no na proposed were
Relaxed, Milton could devote his attention entirely on the war
“Now that we have agreed on the nature of our operation, it appears all that is left for us is the execution Let us proceed with dividing up the reed “Our army will handle the Fortresses of Lientz and Belluno”
“Then we shall assign ourselves the re three forts I hu our attacks”
“I shall”
That day, the substantial arna and Milton set off from Lucerne Castle
The 50,000 troops of Milton and Princess Violet codom to forments as they set off
“They what? Repeat that”
An e into the Kobrook Republic’s coun a frontier-wide onslaught All five minor forts have coe of overseeing the Kobrook Republic’s border, clenched his teeth at the holds at once? Do you do on the Eastern Front?”
“We have caught word that the enen arn armies?”
“Yes, sir They say that a dom has joined the war”
“Milton Forrest, you say?”
Bison’s eyebroitched He knew the name
No, not just that – before this current war unfolded, all the overseers of the Republic’s borders had been issued a confidential order from the top: if Milton Forrest entered the battlefield, it was to be reported to Central Coreenhorn Siegfried is particularly wary of?’
Bison narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought
This war between the three allied Republics and the Strabus Kingdoe upon which any Republican soldier would be thirsting for honor and glory Yet Lieutenant-General Bison was excluded fro that he was thethe Kobrook Republic’s borders
Bison was not convinced by this reasoning
As opposed to the sparks flying in all the back-and-forth battles of the Northern Front, the huned on the Eastern Front was to stabilize the defensive line and put some modest pressure on the enelory such as Lieutenant-General Bison, this most certainly did not sit ith hi the intensity of their attacks and pressuring the Strabus Kingdoh he could not join the spectacular stage that was the Northern Front, he was filled with an aarner his own battlefield achieve of his caliber
But this was pure and naïve greed
Siegfried had an accurate grasp of Lieutenant-General Bison’s strengths In all respects, Bison’s specialty lay in defense rather than offense He was particularly proficient atserved on them all his life The majority of his achieve ene the Eastern Front’s border defense
Despite being assigned the most optimal role for him, Bison remained unconvinced In fact, he went so far as to believe that this foreign bantling naated him into this menial job because he was envious of Bison’s talent
It was an absurd misconception without merit, but he was blinded by his own envy
In this state of things, Milton Forrest had appeared on the Eastern Front; the one as said to have efried Lieutenant-General Bison had a thought as soon as he heard the information
‘If I catch onto Milton Forrest here and noould that brat fro his reaction was delightful enough for Bison’s lips to curl into a sot that he had to report the appearance of Milton to Central and shouted pompously
“We will show our iron fist to these is who have wandered onto our soil of their own volition I want a detailed report of the situation at once!”
