Chapter 117: Siegfried’s Interventions (2)
“But would it be easy to draft civilians? If it’s not done properly, wouldn’t it just cause discontent?”
“Isn’t this the Republic? It couldn’t have been that difficult”
“Ah… you’re right”
The prevalent culture in the Republic was to give their life for Republicanism In such a cultural at, then you’d be treated as less than a horse It wouldn’t have been difficult to increase their ed just a little bit
“Then, it won’t be as easy as it’s been up until now”
Marquis Bologna let out a sigh of regret
“It can't be helped Even so, we’ll be able to capture it in ten days”
“Ten days? Is there a reason you’re rushi+ng, Marquis Forrest?”
“In a e never knohen or what could happen So, when there’s a clear opportunity, I want to achieve as much as possible”
Milton turned to look at Viscount Sabian
‘Is everything still good?’
‘It’s all good, sir’
The lord and vassal exchanged opinions quickly and briefly Milton had previously instructed Viscount Sabian to keep track of the Northern Front since Siegfried could intervene at anyhow there was no inforured that meant there weren’t any reinforcements from the North yet
‘In that case, let’s focus on besieging Litinque Castle for now”
When the large arna arrived at Litinque Castle, Milton quietly admired it and nodded his head
“It’s definitely worth giving up on both Bells Castle and Hornie Castle”
Litinque Castle looked very solid and perfect The walls were high and strong, and the ate functioned as a drawbridge, it would be i ram and because of thehook to climb up the castle wallsMilton had attacked est and most difficult out of all the castles But that was only natural since it was the last fortress guarding the borders of the Kobrook Republic
‘What should I do? At this rate, it’ll be difficult to capture in ten days…’
Now that things had gotten like this, Milton began to think that what Marquis Bologna said previously, to take some troops and attack from the back, wasn’t a bad idea At thatthe walls, spoke to Milton
“My Lord, I’ve coe”
“It seeh it’ll be very difficult, there’s still a few possibilities”
“A few possibilities…”
For a second, Milton thought it was ridiculous Here he was, trying to think of soht up multiple ways to attack the castle
“Let’s hear it”
“Yes, My Lord There are two possibilities, but before I tell you what they are, I have so to ask you”
“What is it?”
“There’s one where we could win in three days, but there’ll be a lot of dae And there’s another where it’ll take half a e”
“And you’re asking me to choose one?”
“Yes, My Lord”
Milton sighed at Viscount Sabian’s words
‘Half abut…’
Milton spoke after thinking it through
“How e would we take in the three-day operation?”
“It would be at least 20,000 to 40,000 troops, My Lord”
“Half of our troops would die?”
“That castle demands at least that much, My Lord”
Milton spoke bitterly
“What about the operation that takes half a month?”
“Under 5,000 men, My Lord Maybe even less than 2,000this an option?’
Milton sighed deeply He wanted to attack as quickly as possible MIlton wanted to settle the situation here before the enemy’s reinforcements arrived from the Northern Front However, the difference in casualties between the two operations was too big If Milton was an ordinary nobleman, he would have prioritized his war service over the lives of his o with the half a month plan”
“Yes, My Lord”
When he heard Milton’s answer, Viscount Sabian inwardly so with this option’
