Chapter 215: Fuhrer Siegfried (4)
Duke Sebastian explained everything that happened during the war Then, at Antras’ request, he gave hifried
Antras began to speak after listening to it all
“Hahaha… The dragon and the tiger are fighting each other” [1]
“The dragon and tiger? What do youwith a clear voice at Duke Sebastian’s question
“There is a tiger crouching in the forest and waiting for an opportunity Then, it fried He is a ressiveness, the very essence of a wise tiger”
“”
“And there is a dragon sleeping in a son ascended to the sky, nunificent view This is Grand Duke Forrest He is the hero of troubled tion chosen by fate”
Duke Sebastian sighed at Antras’ poetic explanation
“I never see”
“Hahaha… I’sters are very talented”
“Then you should’ve just said that…”
“Either way, it’ll be difficult for an E time to deal with them”
“”
Duke Sebastian wanted to disagree but their recent defeat had been too great Antras continued to speak to him
“Sebastian, let me have an audience with His I to tell hiht, I understand”
Thus, Antras met the Emperor of the Andrews Empire He was 72 years old
“So you’re Antras? According to Duke Sebastian, you were a chancellor in the Southern continent’s empire?”
Antras smiled softly at the e the rest of race of Your Imperial Majesty, sire”
From the ed to harmonize humility and boldness andwith the Emperor, Antras showed his wisdom and caused the Emperor to look favorably upon him
There were many people in the world ise But because of their high self-confidence and pride, they often said remarks that their monarchs didn’t want to hear and weren’t kept by their monarchs’ sides
In that sense, Antras was different He knew very hat kind of person an emperor was He had watched over and served two different e with an e them
[Incompetent monarchs are made by incompetent subjects He who believes in his oisdom and demands unilateral faith from his monarch is no different froht his children during his time as a Chancellor for the Jae Nation
He persuaded the emperor to withhold the second reinforcement troops that the emperor seemed to want to dispatch at any moment, instead, Antras told the emperor to wait two years
“Why should I wait two years?”
“Your Imperial Majesty, it is because the peace treaty between the Lester Kingdo”
“Hmm…”
“As soon as the peace treaty is over, you should attack the Republic first, sire At the sa for their cooperation”
“Ooh… I see That would make it easier to topple the Republic, but will the Lester Kingdom accept our request?”
“No, sire, they won’t They’ll try to avoid it and give us all sorts of excuses”
“Then what’s the point?”
“Because it’s important for us to create a situation in which the Eainst the Republic first, Your Majesty While it would be nice to have the Lester Kingdoh to make sure they won’t interfere”
“Ooh…”
“As long as we make sure they don’t intervene, we can concentrate on the Republic’s attack And even if the Lester Kingdom doesn’t send reinforcement troops, the Republic won’t be able to leave the borders they share with the Lester Kingdom free of troops”
“I see, I see”
“We, the Empire, can devote all our forces to this war, but the Republic will only be able to mobilize 50 percent of its forces, 60 percent at reater and eventually, the Republic will collapse”
Antras’ plan wasn’t just to win the war ier future He was planning for the fall of the Republic
“What a truly remarkable plan I will appoint you as Chancellor of the Andrews Empire and have you take responsibility for this operation”
“I’m sorry, Your Imperial Majesty, but I am an outsider If you suddenly raise me to such an important post in the Empire, it will surely cause unrest”
“Hm…”
“I think it may be best if I was just an advisor that stayed in the palace and gave you my opinions and ideas, Your Imperial Majesty”
“If that’s what you want…”
And so, the emperor appointed Antras as the ee
While it wasn’t a formal title, the fact that he was Duke Sebastian’s friend and the emperor’s teacher ive hi their two year preparation The world didn’t knohy the Eer plan that Antras was for north with a force as large as 300,000its dom readily opened the way for the Empire and offered to provide supplies and men However, the emperor only allowed hiht the e benevolent, but the truth was, Antras had so to say about it
[It would be a waste to have that ragtag group join the Imperial Ardom was dismissed froroup or not, nu at this war differently When you’re building a wall, you use nicely forularly shaped rocks, then you’d only get gaps in that wall He had excluded the Valence Kingdoave orders to the Iion of the Republic However, there’s no need to overdo it It’s fine even if you can’t conquer the castle, just keep attacking]
The front-line coiven orders that said it was alright if they didn’t conquer the castle, but an order froed war broke out in the southern region of the Republic
Three weeks after the war began, Seigfried was given a report on the outcome of the battle
“There’s a report from the front-line, Your Excellency”
“Tellplace in the South and no castles have been captured yet, sir The soldiers are fighting bravely and are pushi+ng back the Imperial Army, sir”
“Oooooh!”
“I see, that truly is remarkable”
“Hahaha Hasn’t it already been proven that the E war, sir?”
The Republican officers all sfried’s expression stiffened
“None of the castles have fallen?”
“None of thee”
Even Siegfried knew that there were several vulnerable castles on the southern front There were soet to maintain it, while others had been deliberately weakened to bait the ene it so that the Republic in turn could surround them
