‘A total of 500,000 troops and five Masters…’
There was no way this was good news for the Republic
“But still, we have to try”
Siegfried didn’t have the phrase ‘giving up’ in his vocabulary
First, Siegfried coement of troops on the front line He concentrated as many troops as possible at the front andeach other Then he led the Ghosts with Jake and disappeared frohly that even their allies didn’t knohere they were Froan
“Fire! Don’t let the enemy rest!”
Count Solon, who led 20,000 Iently coet wasn’t castle walls or fortresses but the 10,000 Republican Army camped out in the field
“Count Solon, the enerinned when his lieutenant reported to hi the cavalry We’ll attack while the enemy retreats”
There were three ave the In1ht with three times as many In the case of a field, twice as ht with only standard tactics without pursuing the eneer, retreat i heard about the situation fro to raise the level of the Iest and the strongest in the continent, the overall level was too weak Codoh actual battles, the Imperial Army fell behind
That hy he had told the the two years, but there’s a limit to how h training It was unavoidable that they would be worse than the Republican Arht countless battles and been trained that way
That hy Antras had given theht without losing many troops In fact, it was because of the three orders issued by Antras that the I a large nuained confidence after realizing that they inning and the Ier However, confidence also had a flip side: arrogance
Currently, Count Solon was preparing to send out the cavalry in hopes of ending the ene to cause them to flee, then he could have fired a volley of arrows at the forith his infantry But he was preparing his cavalry And just as he was about to send them out…
Buuuuuuu!
The battle truroup of soldiers appeared on Count Solon’s left
It was the fried commanded
“Jake”
“Yes, Fuhrer?”
“Get rid of thefried had finished giving his instructions In order to rabbed onto the ene the sally were Jake and elite Ghost fried What e!”
“Waaaaaah!!”
At Jake’s single coroup of cavalry led by the Ghosts roared towards the enemy like a storm, and the 20,000 Imperial soldiers under Count Solon’s command collapsed like a sandcastle swept away by the waves
The Ghosts led by Jake showed overwhel after the been carefully selected by Siegfried, they were the Fuhrer’s personal corps and were under Siegfried’s direct command
“Retreat! Retreat!”
In the end, the I to make any resistance
“Your Excellency, we’ve dealt with the eneotten rid of the enemies quickly
“Good Then let’s fried led his corps and disappeared into the rear again Whenever Siegfried appeared in the front line, he fought the saht now He would hide his position in the back and just as the ene, he would show up and wipe out the eneainst the Ietting tired of the endless pressure frofried was like the rain in the reater than I expected”
Antras had joined the frontline a bit later than Siegfried He couldn’t help but click his tongue when he was given the casualty report
Once Siegfried had joined, the Ie Nearly 50,000 soldiers had either died or were so severely injured they had to leave the frontlines
No e the Imperial Army was, the loss of 50,000 men couldn’t be sed easily
“Tsk, I’ on the offensive…”
At Antras’ words, all the field commanders flinched
From their point of view, Antras was someone without any title and wasn’t even a person from the Empire But because he was a friend of Duke Sebastian and was favored by the emperor, they didn’t dare complain out loud In fact, the eiven them the order that if the field commanders were rude to him, then they were to execute the impertinent co so well that I reedy I can understand it”
The field coh of relief at those words They had been certain they would be repries the I to overlook it
“However, I hope that you will follow my instructions carefully from here on out”
After he caused the field coain, he gave theain The battle lines were refined and the frontline was arranged to become more precise And then…
“Marquis Gotham, Sir Florian”
“You wanted me?”
“You wanted to see me?”
Antras suether and lead 100,000 forces And Duke Sebastian, Duke Florian”
“You called?”
“Please, speak”
“The two of you, I wish for you to also join forces with 100,000 ainst the Republic”
Antras decided to spread out the frontline in order to make the enemy spread their troops thin Then, he decided to have two crops with a large army of 100,000 men each with two Masters This was only possible because of the E full use of the Ees
“The two corps should attack where they’re stationed and give the Republic as much trouble as possible But, there’s no need for you to pursue them too deeply into their own territory”
While four Masters nodded their understanding, one of thee”
“Please speak, Sir Florian”
The one coest Master of them all, Lucas Florian
