Chapter 116: Siegfrieds Intervention (1) (2/2)
Lieutenant General Bison trefried continued to speak down to hieneral You’re just a piece of trash”
“Guh…”
Lieutenant General Bison bit his lips till he tasted blood The worst part of all this was that everything Siegfried said was undeniably the truth He had been a part of the military and defended his country for decades All the pride and honors he had accuhout his lifetilebethan this? If he could turn back time, he would even sell his soul to the devil
As though he knew Lieutenant General Bison’s despair, Siegfried spoke
“If…”
Lieutenant General Bison raised his head
“If you don’t want to die as a piece of trash, I’ll give you one ht Do you want it?”
“I want it Whatever it is, I’ll do it as long as I can get back fried’s mouth quirked up
“Good In that case…”
Siegfried explained a plan to Lieutenant General Bison and the role he would have in that plan
“… you, are you insane?”
Lieutenant General Bison had said he would do anything That hadn’t been a lie But even so, Lieutenant General Bison was hesitant after listening to everything Siegfried had to say
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you’d do whatever it took?”
“I know I’ive up fried spoke when he saw Lieutenant General Bison hesitating
“The choice is yours Will you die as a piece of trash or will you defend your country and die as a Republican hero?”
In Lieutenant General Bison’s eyes, Siegfried looked like the devil
A devil who offered a sweet prize in return for his soul
The more desperate humans are, the easier it is to be shaken by the devil’s temptations
“…I’ll do it”
“A s coaxed Lieutenant General Bison, Siegfried descended the tower as he muttered to himself
“Milton Forrest He’s ht Milton Forrest would destroy the infamous defense line of the Kobrook Republic in such a short time It occurred to him that he should have killed Milton Forrest when he had the chance back then His next thought was that it wasn’t too late to do so
“I’ll dig you your grave on this land”
Siegfried’s blade was aimed at Milton
“Welcolad you look well, Marquis Bologna”
Milton and Marquis Bologna ether Each of them led 30,000 troops for a total of 60,000 troops Except for the five stabilized fortresses in the rear and the troops stationed at Bells Castle and Hornie Castle, Milton and Marquis Bologna had brought all the available soldiers with them
“Truthfully, I think it’s possible to attack Litinque Castle with just 40,000 troops”
Marquis Bologna spoke to Milton as they rode side by side at the front of the army
‘You took three days to capture Hornie Castle…’
Milton grumbled in his head, but responded politely to him
“It’s said that you should have as e to the arreat if we used 40,000 troops to besiege the castle and have the re 20,000 attack the Kobrook Republic’s mainland?”
‘Was that your purpose?’
With those words, Milton was able to understand Marquis Bologna’s true intentions Right now, Marquis Bologna wanted to leave Milton in charge of the siege while he would go and attack theso, Milton would do all the hard hile Marquis Bologna would easily achieve sona
“That’s not a bad idea”
“Ohh In that case…”
“If Marquis Bologna will take charge of the siege, I will go and dismantle the Kobrook Republic from the inside and make it ina’s face contorted as if he had eaten so calmly
“He first As it’s the last bastion on the border, the ene back”
“If that’s what Marquis Bologna thinks, then that’s e’ll do”
Milton sht to himself
‘How dare you treatin the Western Front under the Strabus Kingdodoreat accoht under his nose by the people above him But now, Milton had the position and authority Unlike the past, he didn’t have to give up his achievena’s schee
“Since we didn’t fight against a lot of people at Bells Castle and Hornie Castle, then the re troops must be concentrated at Litinque Castle”
Marquis Bologna nodded in agreement at Milton’s words
“I assume so”
Less than 5,000 troops had been stationed at Bells Castle and Hornie Castle
Nofor the Kobrook Republic, that was still too little
“Sabian”
“Did you call for me, My Lord?”
Milton called Viscount Sabian from the back
“How many troops do you expect to be stationed at Litinque Castle?”
Viscount Sabian quickly went through the numbers in his head, then…
“I think there’ll be about 20,000 to 30,000 troops, My Lord”
“From 20,000 to 30,000? There’s still that many left?”
“Yes, My Lord The reason Bells and Hornie Castle were so easily captured was because the Republic had basically abandoned the two castles It’stroops are concentrated in Litinque Castle”
“Even still, isn’t that still too much? By my calculations, the eneht?”
“It’s possible that when the castle in front of them was captured, they absorbed the soldiers who fled And they also probably conscripted civilians since defending a castle is so even civilians can do”
“That’s true”
Milton reju Fortress fro to the records, the fortress was defended when the people, under the coht the enenored when defending a castle
