Chapter 222: Rage (1) (2/2)

“Is it wise for us to fight so hard in this war?”

“Ah…”

Jerome finally understood

This as very codom had only intervened because it seemed like the Republic was about to collapse under the Edo dominance over the continent after the Republic collapsed That hy they had formed ain the war

However…

“I can’t co tooto think about”

Jeroreement

Usually, the enemy of the enemy is your ally, but the situation was different this tidoerous opponents

“Let’s see what happens first And let’s send a letter to the Republicans to pressure the Empire”

“Understood, sir”

Just as Jerome was about to leave, Trike entered the barracks

“Sir, the ht new information”

“Report”

“There’s new infor south of us”

“50,000 men?”

That was a number that he couldn’t look over

“Any detailed information on their journey?”

At Milton’s question, Trike turned to point out locations on the strategy map

“They were first discovered here, sir,and this is where the report ca for our country?”

Milton frowned The 50,000 troops weresouth from the location of Milton’s headquarters The I a detour, and if they continued on that path, they would soon reach the southern region of the Lester Kingdo that army?”

“It’s Lucas Florian, sir”

“So it’s the young master of Florian Duchy”

Milton frowned

The current situation for the I of the war Unlike before, when they had pressured the Republic with an overwhelnificant advantage in supplies anydo their efforts on the Edom had 250,000 men and the Republic had 300,000 On top of that, the Lester Kingdom had stormed in and destroyed the I in a tremendous amount of casualties for the E in50,000 men separately under these circumstances? Not to mention, their commander was Lucas Florian, a Master

‘I can’t just ignore them’

Milton decided to respond io Prepare the Southern Knights and 100,000received Milton’s order, Jerome started to move, but

“My Lord, you can’t do that”

Count Sabian rushed into the barracks, trying to dissuade him Out of breath, he continued

“I’er than expected to check theht More i me?”

At Milton’s question, Count Sabian responded in a serious tone

“Those 50,000 ht”

“Lure?”

“Yes, sir Weren’t you just about to move 100,000 troops to capture 50,000 Iht”

“If our forces are divided, the Imperial Army will attempt to divide and conquer us Those 100,000 I to attack us at any moment, sir”

“But still, it’s only 100,000 Wouldn’t it be impossible for them to mobilize their entire army when they have to keep the Republic in check as well?”

“Yes, sir But, what if they were to give up responding to the Republic?”

“Ah!”

Milton exclaimed out loud He was mistaken

Currently, the Imperial Army didn’t have toon the Republican’s territory, fordoin with, and since the Republic had destroyed all the infrastructure in the process of retreating, that territory didn’t have much value either So ould the Empire try to protect it? From the Empire’s point of view, it wasn’t necessary

“As soon as our forces are divided, the Imperial Ardom, sir They may focus their attention on you, My Lord, or they may focus on our army Either way, it’s a situation that we must avoid, sir”

“I see”

Milton obediently listened to Count Sabian’s advice In fact, how could he not? Count Sabian was the best tactician Milton had Although he couldn’t fried, he was still a talented ht and it’s a trap, we can’t just ignore 50,000 men”

If left alone and they attacked the home country, then that would be a headache as well One way or another, Milton had to respond to it

Count Sabian are of it as well

“Sir, if we ignore them, then the enemy will probably attack our homeland and disrupt our rear”

“And if our homeland is attacked, then there could be disruptions to the supply lines”

“Yes, sir, I know”

This was a serious y ht

‘What a masterpiece Even if we know that it’s a trap, there’s no e can not respond to it Is this the cleverness of the fried?’

Count Sabian frowned

If they took the bait, then their troops would be divided If they didn’t take the bait, then their hoerous either way

1 So Milton’s beginning when there’s only 20 of the distance between them and the Empire is left
