Chapter 178: A Witch’s Forest (3)

If you played by the book, you would try to avoid places like forests and gorges when ht ambush you However, in Marquis Maroon’s case, they had already been delayed a lot, and tieable’

If she was being honest, Marquis Maroon would much rather have the enemy appear They hadn’t even had a proper battle, yet were continuing to lose time She really didn’t like it

“Is everything prepared?”

“Yes, everything’s been done as you ordered, Ma’am”

Eliza checked the situation with subordinates that Siegfried had given her The ones receiving andthe Ghost members, Group 7 specialized in assassinations and frequently received secret th If those given to Jake were soldiers who prioritized strength, then those given to Eliza focused on secrecy By sending with her those who could fried had made them into her hands and feet

Fron she had instructed Ghost Group 7 However, that instruction wasn’t so that could be carried out in a short period of ti soic to buy so the river was soic but, with her Fantasy Magic, one of her specialties, she could create a similar effect and ‘iic’s always been the one ic that I’m better at than Bianca’

Thanks to that, she was able to buy some time, and thanks to that extra ti left for her to do noas to thoroughly harass and invade the ene time”

Eliza’s face was full of anticipation

Marquis Maroon boldly entered the forest with her troops Of course, she had sent in a reconnaissance team first, but that team’s focus hadn’t been to avoid the arardless of whether there were ene as they located the eneth

‘Whatever tricks the eneh it with force’

She was only able to think this because she had confidence in her skills but at the same time, it was rather unlike her to think like that That’s how short on time she was Unintentionally, her impatience was passed onto the soldiers and it caused them to become anxious The problem was, she didn’t realize it

It was the first day Marquis Maroon led her are, it would take at least two days for all 20,000 troops to pass through Running short on tih the forest in just one day, but that was impossible Eventually, her arht in the forest Marquis Maroon sent out many reconnaissance units to prepare for enee, there are no ene to ambush us, the forest would be the best place to do so Maybe…’

A thought crossed her ht us? Maybe they’re planning to avoid fighting and just continue to drag things out?’

When she thought about it, it see river, she couldn’t help but think that perhaps the eneht deceptively, but used it to buy soht, they wouldn’t have set up scarecrows everywhere and ended it there If it had been her, she would have set up scarecrows in the front as bait and attacked the enee as possible to them But the enemy hadn’t done that Why hadn’t they?

‘What if it’s not that they didn’t, but that they couldn’t? That would fried, was said to be an unparalleled genius strategist If such a strategist’s goal was to drag things out aswould fit and make sense

“Toofor”

Marquis Maroon thought as she laid down on the bed that had been prepared for her in the ca froht, Marquis Maroon had a dreah level in her abilities, she rarely dreamt because she was able to control her ely dreamed

In her dreairl There, she was fighting against a th, she was fighting with a wooden sword that was er than she was, but the opponent in front of her was too big and too strong, but h she was just a little girl

“Ow!”

The young Marquis Maroon dropped her sword as she fell down after the man’s wooden sword struck her shoulder The man looked down at her as he spoke

“You stupid brat! You can’t even block this simple attack? And to think that you’re my child?!”

“I’ Hailey Maroon was Marquis Calvin Maroon He was the previous Marquis Maroon and the father of Marquis Hailey Maroon The father spoke severely to the little girl

“Get up immediately! Do you think the enemy would wait for you if you fell on the battlefield?!”

“Yes, Father…”

Staggering, she barely stood up

This had been her daily routine as a child Her father was by noperson To others, he was a stoic and blunt person, but to her, he was the scariest person in the world She had never felt love or affection froirl Her father had wanted a son

For generations, the Maroon Family had always been a military family in the Empire, that’s why the heir of Marquis Maroon had to be a strong and sturdy son However, his wife gave birth to a daughter, and to irl, she had died He was a man more obsessed with the honor of his family than a man as affectionate towards his fa birth to a son and disappointed by his daughter
