“No, sir Both ar I believe it’s a cover to distract us, sir”
“”
After listening to the ht
‘If they’re hiding who their commander is, then that means that they’ve read my ploy Looks like there’s an excellent tactician on the Lester Kingdom’s side’
But Antras wasn’t shaken too badly Even if the other side read their intentions, it wouldn’t have much of an impact on their operation Whether they knew his ploy or not, the Lester Kingdom had to split their army to stop the 50,000 troops led by Lucas Florian And if the Idom’s armies, then the Imperial Army could reduce their force in half
“Is there any change in the Republican’s movements, yet?”
“Yes, sir It seefried’s 200,000 troops are at odds, sir”

Both Milton and Jerohout the continent Since they had becoe and established theed the Master of the Empire
However,
“Even if it’s not me, someone else will be able to beat them”
Duke Schweiker didn’t seem interested
