Chapter 186: Consequences of Arrogance (1)

“My Lord, that’s the signal The eneun to turn around”

“Perfect”

Siegfried smiled with satisfaction He didn’t just want to defeat the enemy He wanted to annihilate them This had been the trap he had prepared for them and the moment Count Boris turned the Republican army and aimed for him, the trap was complete

No matter how elite the are the direction of it 180 degrees There was no need to talk about how difficult it would be to change it during a battle That’s hen an are

Count Boris took his personal force in order to personally deal with the army’s rear Not to mention, it was the enemy’s commander who had appeared in the rear, so there was evenwith the rear as soon as possible Although it was standard procedure, this was still sofried had caused

If Count Boris ignored his arh the front no e to his army, some of his troops would still survive However, while he moved froreatly disorganized and even the coree It would eventually sort itself out, but Siegfried wasn’t one to let that happen

As if he had been waiting for this exact fried checkave that order, Ghost ular arrow, it was a fire arrow that had its arrowhead wrapped in a cloth soaked in oil and then set on fire Then…

“Fire!”

Fiery arrows flew through the sky immediately

“Fire arrows?”

“No way?”

The co as they saw the fiery arrows flying through the sky Once the fire arrows fell, they knew they were right

“F… fire!”

“Quick! Put it out! dahhhh!”

The fire from the fire arrows spread in an instant The wooden barriers that were a part of the second line of defense were covered in oil and all around them were dry wood and straw that would easily catch on fire It was a trap that had been thoroughly prepared

“Calm down! First, we have to put out the fire and fix the battleline… Kuh!”

A couple of the commanders tried to control the situation but by then, it was too late Siegfried had made sure that the ene fire to everything On top of that, the fire arroere also flying froer possible to control

“How could… this happen…”

Count Boris realized that he had been completely defeated All around hi everywhere He couldn’t think of a single way to change the situation The only thing that was certain was that he had been co? In that case, then I… then what did I…’

Secretly, Count Boris had believed himself to be able to stand toe to toe with anyone based on his cleverness However, that was an absurd illusion It was true that he had studied strategic tactics very hard, but being a real strategist wasn’tbooks Without considerable experience, he couldn’t be called a decent strategist However, the biggest probleained experience in the field and becae much That’s how much of a monster his opponent was

“How could this…”

As everything fell apart around him, Count Boris just slumped in despair

Count Boris’s defeat

The annihilation of 50,000 vanguard forces

The news delivered to theCount Boris had been steadily advancing forward as he won battle after battle, but he had died In fact, Count Boris orth as much as the previously fallen Marquis Burkel and Marquis Maroon The reason that this defeat had co shock was that they had lost a battle they had been sure they would win

The Republican Army had sent in most of their troops in order to deal with Marquis Burkel and Marquis Maroon That’s why the opinion of the officers had been that they needed to attack iainst Marquis Ryan Catel when he argued for defense, now had a fire under their ass What they chose was…

“Now is the time to lead our ht The eneuard, which also means they have little power left”

“Duke Sebastian, if we hesitated here, Count Boris’ sacrifice would be ht decision here, sir”

Foa

‘These crazy bastards…’

With crossed arhed as he watched the officers arguing to attack

If they were being honest, the officers also knew that attacking right noasn’t the right decision Nonetheless, they were insisting on co because they didn’t want to ad Now, even if they won, it wouldn’t be a true victory Not only did they lose a tremendous amount of troops, but two of their Masters had been killed

If they lost this war, then the officers who participated in the ould not be able to escape the responsibility Currently, they weren’t looking for opinions and thoughts that would be helpful to the war, they were looking for ways that would politically absolve them of that responsibility

There were still two Masters in the main army: Duke Sebastian and Marquis Catel They still had 100,000 troops left and the enees of their own In that case, if they chose to attack and were able to drive away the Republican forces, then they would be able to package this war as their victory If they didn’t want to be ripped apart politically, then they had no choice now but to win

‘Those guys are the talents of the E’

Marquis Catel was beginning to get sick of the E his arht

“Marquis Catel, what do you think?”

As Duke Sebastian asked him a question, Marquis Catel naturally had a say in the war When the other officers looked at hi up hisI want to say’

He responded to Duke Sebastian’s question calmly

“This expedition is a failure”

The officers glared at Marquis Catel when he fir that it was a failure

“It’d be best to retreat before we lose any more troops”
