Chapter 219: The Unexpected Guest (1)
“It’s a good thing we listened to the Sage and didn’t pursue the ene in an atteht If we had chased after theht’ve hit a snag
“It could’ve been very dangerous”
“It was all thanks to the Silver Sage’s wisdoer”
One by one, the commanders all made hopeful observations
“Since the enemy destroyed all their infrastructure, it’s iht now Only after we secure our supply line can we slowly move forward”
When Antras spoke, the coin securing the supplies”
“In addition to securing supplies, we have to rebuild a stronghold along the path we’ll be taking as we advance”
“In that case, we’ll need more people than just soldiers We better mobilize all the extra serfs in the South”
“Good idea”
The Imperial officers spoke of and carried out all the necessary actions to advance
However, Antras was deep in thought even as the other officers bustled around
‘If we need to create a supply line, then it’ll take soht hi to do with that ti hard when his expression suddenly changed
“Cough…”
When Antras gave a dry cough, Duke Sebastian turned and approached hiotten late”
“You’re right I’ll leave the supply line to all of you Once you’ve finalized it, please let me know”
As Antras stood up and left for his barrack, Duke Sebastian ith hiht?”
“Hahaha… Why wouldn’t I be all right? It’s not strange considering e”
“”
Duke Sebastian’s face stiffened as he helped Antras into his bed He could see that Antras’s health had clearly deteriorated compared to when he was at the estate If you think about it, that was only natural Even if the chief-of-staff was just in charge of the strategy and did not directly engage in coy and mental power in the tense situation that ar No matter how used to the situation he was, there was no way it wouldn’t be difficult on an old man’s health Unlike Duke Sebastian as a Master, Antras was just an ordinary old rateful, yet sorry, for his friend as sacrificing his own life at his request while helping the The others are perfectly capable of securing a supply line on their own”
“Mot it But make sure to pay attention to the Republic’s movements Let me know as soon as they make any suspicious moves”
“I will”
And so, Antras was able to step down fro and recuperate for a while
What did Siegfried gain by giving up half his land? If the Imperial Army had unreasonably tried to pursue them, then they would have attacked the supply line and turned the tide of war, but that was impossible Antras put prudence over pursuit and hadn’t chased thefried hadn’t wanted that result either
What Siegfried gained was time
The Imperial Ar that many troops would require a treh ruins where infrastructure was completely destroyed would be very difficult Whether they liked it or not, the Iather their supplies and prepare No matter how fast they moved, it would take at least two, if not three fried had to make the most of this time
“But I don’t kno he’ll y map with a serious look on his face By his side was Queen Leila along with the other seniorJerome and Count Sabian
“I honestly didn’t think the E Now that it’s come to this point, I don’t see a solution for the Republic, sir”
Jero coreed
“The Empire is an Empire”
“Who knew they’d show this kind of destructive power once they concentrated their forces…”
No one had thought that Siegfried would lose this badly Everyone here knew very well how strong the Republican Arfried was So how could someone like that be defeated this unilaterally?
‘Is it really all right to let the Empire take supremacy like this?’
Not everyone spoke, but all of them had similar anxieties
“Grand Duke, ill you do?”
“What do you mean?”
Milton answered with a question at Count Sabian’s question When he did, Count Sabian gave a sigh
“Sir, you know, don’t you?”
“”
Milton didn’t respond, but as Count Sabian said, he knew the answer
‘If we hesitate any longer, we’ll lose the chance’
Siegfried had bought hi half of his country If the Lester Kingdom wanted to step in and balance the board, then this was their last chance But, just the idea of choosing to partner with the Republic was reason to hesitate
It’s said that there’s no eternal eneht that even if he could ith the Republic, it was ifried
‘It’s too hard As long as he doesn’t give up his aer’s back’
Ultifried But to leave the situation as it was, the E
In the end, Milton couldn’t do anything but hesitate
Then… an attendant told Count Sabian so And then…
“Grand Duke, Your Grace, the Grand Cha”
“I’?”
“Yes, Your Grace, but he says it’s urgent”
He didn’t knohat it was, but it must be i to brave interrupting the o meet with him”
Milton left the conference roo on?”
“Grand Duke, there’s a guest for you at your residence”
Unlike his usual calm self, the Grand Chauest?”
“It’s…”
When the Grand Chamberlain told him who it was, Milton doubted his ears for a second
