Chapter 138: A Chaotic Battlefield (3) (2/2)
“I still think we can stop 10,000 troops Not to mention, don’t we also have the recently converted Duke O’Brian?”
“How frustrating… disregarding whether in or lose, if another battle takes place on the Northern Front, the supply line will stop”
“Huh?!”
“What…?”
The other officers looked alar do you think we can keep all 100,000 men without supply? Onethe effects of the cut supply line”
If there was one situation that had to be avoided thea war, it was a situation wherethere weren’t enough rations Whether it was 100,000 or 1,000,000 troops, neither were frightening if they were starving Instead, the bigger the army, the more difficult it was to maintain the supply line and the more importance it played
“Do you think that’s what he aiting for? Was he waiting for his right hand to cut off the supply line in the North and for that effect to be revealed?”
One of the officers spoke up as if he had realized what Milton’s intentions were The others around hierous This… we’re at a disadvantage”
“Let’s think about that first and create a plan”
David ridiculed the noisily
‘They’re playing completely on the paled war in the North, it was doubtful whether the supply line would coh to interfere with the supply line with only 10,000 troops In addition, even if the supply line did collapse, they currently had enough provisions to last at least a week In which case, the first thing they should do is fight the ene the enemy’s reaction should they decide what to do next But the officers in front of David’s eyes were…
What if we did that?
What if we did this?
Oh, this is a big problem What should we do?
‘Are you all children?’
In David’s eyes, the officers had completely lost their rationality They were afraid to deal with the person named Milton Forrest They were also burdened by the fact they were leading 100,000 men in a war that dealt with the destiny of the Republics If you compared the military to the human body, the officers would be the head If the head loses confidence and gets flustered, then no th would be reduced to less than half
“First, let’s retreat with the entire aret the results ant if we tried to block both arht Our priority should be to ensure that the supply lines to the North don't get cut off”
“You’re right I feel a bit sorry for the Hildes Republic, but it seems like this is the limit I don’t think we can continue to hold Milton Forrest back”
The conclusions that they ultimately came up as to have the entire army retreat
David s went as My Lord expected’
Siegfried had told David in advance that this would happen But just in case, David had been tasked with re if anything changed However, he hadn’t needed to After all, everything went as Siegfried said
‘Even if I stayed here longer, there’s nothing else for ht it was ti rockheads
Exactly three days later
It was theafter the third day as Viscount Sabian had promised Until yesterday, the Republican Army had maintained a solid battle formation in front of them, but now, it had disappeared It seeht as cover Viscount Sabian smiled at Milton after he was inforer
“It’s exactly three days later, My Lord”
“Hm… Didn’t you say on the third day?”
“I said after three days, My Lord”
“Really? You sure about that?”
“Yes, sir I’m sure”
“…tsk”
Milton handed Viscount Sabian a pouch full of gold
“Thank you, My Lord”
“Who knew you’d be that accurate”
The knights surrounding the
‘They bet on it’
Either way, the road was open For three days, they had only confronted the ene them, but the enemies had moved out of the way on their own Milton ad with the enemies on the palm of his hand
‘Was he always like this? No, he wasn’t this good before’
Although Milton absolutely trusted Viscount Sabian’s competence, even Milton realized that recently, Viscount Sabian had reached a new level After he was defeated in the siege of Litinque Castle, Viscount Sabian’s resourcefulness and cleverness had improved as a result of self-reflection
‘Both Sabian and Jero better and better…’
Recently, Milton had been feeling strange as he watched the two improve from the battles He knew and believed in their loyalty, however, Milton felt there was a pressure for him to become a Lord ouldn’t be embarrassed in front of his two very cofried was a Master played a big role in the pressure Although Milton was very close to beconation for the past year
“My Lord, what are you thinking about?”
“No, it’s nothing… Then, we’ll proceed as planned”
“Yes, My Lord”
‘Let’s focus on the war that’s in front of me first’
And so, the army led by Milton do attacked in the scuffle
This war, later to be called the First Ideological Conflict, was a complete mess The defense lines of the Kobrook Republic fell and the northern border of the Strabus Kingdodom’s counterattack, half of the Hildes Republic was invaded Siegfried was leading the Hildes Republic forces through the Western part of the Strabus Kingdododofried
The Northern Central region of the continent had always been noisy because of the Republic’s existence, but this time, it was particularly chaotic The Southern countries predicted the borders would go through significant change once the as over At the core of this was Milton chasing after Siegfried The entire continent felt the two men, who had played a pro soon and pay much attention to them Everyone knew that the clash of these tould determine the outcome of the war When and where would they clash? The other countries watched the situation keenly with bated breath
However, the war proceeded in a completely different direction than what they predicted
