Chapter 229: A Knights Honor (1) (2/2)

Bianca shouted at hi sheepish, Milton had a servant bring Count Sabian over

“How are you feeling, My Lord?”

“I’, Sabian?”

“You’ve earned us a day with your body, My Lord All without sacrificing the soldiers”

“”

“It wouldn’t iven me the best conditions The operation is already underway, My Lord”

Milton shtly at Count Sabian’s words

“I’ll trust you and leave the rest of the battle fully in your hands”

“I will doyou victory, My Lord”

Count Sabian wasn’t proive Milton the best result

And he wasn’t bluffing

The next day

Antras the troops’ arrangeht He left behind Duke Dominic Florian and Duke Christian Schweiker in the main camp and sent out Duke Hector Sebastian and Marquis Baker Gotham to both flanks in order to spread their are had been fordoan to experience Count Sabian’s trickery

“Silver Sage, there’s no response from the enemy”

“What?”

“Even if we advance closer to their wooden barrier or we shoot an arrow to provoke them, there’s no response, sir”

“Could it be?”

Antras began to feel uneasy

“Immediately check the enemy’s battle array”

“Yes, sir!”

The Idom’s battle array were all shocked

It was cos and torches that had been burning all night were still there, but there wasn’t a single person

“Quickly! Hurry and report it! The ene, the Imperial soldier ran quickly

“That’s i out of his seat as he shouted

“Repeat it to me! Is that true?!”

“Without a doubt, sir The eneht, sir”

“But how? The eneht How did they retreat?”

Antras treht now Lead the way”

“Yes, sir!”

Antras personally went to the enemy’s camp Just as reported, the enemy’s camp was empty and Antras fell into confusion

“But how could this happen? Magic? No Even the witches of the forest who are known as masters of illusion can’t do this”

Antras was troubled He had completely ist to have ist was to always anticipate and prepare for the eneain How could this have happened? It was iht

It was absolutely impossible to cross the river when you took in the flow and width of the river at the back of the enemy’s camp Even the narrowest part of the river was 300enough to fight a battle on it It’s impossible for an arht crossed his mind

“Oh I can’t believe it No, but…”

Antrasback to theirme the map immediately”

“Yes, sir”

When the servant brought hiicme a map of the entire continent! Quickly!”

“Sir? Ah, yes, sir”

He hastily changed the icplace with an overall ritted his teeth after checking the ht so Is this what he did?”

Antras’ expression quickly hardened as he checked theon, Antras?”

“I lost”

“What do youa shi+p”

“A shi+p? Really, a shi+p? What do you mean, a shi+p?”

“Look over here We’re here and this is the river in front of us… it’s the Terin River If you go upstreadoo downstream, you’ll reach the sea”

“You really think?”

“The Lester Kingdo for this from the moment they set up camp here with the river at their backs They made it seem like they couldn’t retreat but in reality, they’ve prepared shi+ps in advance, either upstream or downstream shi+ps that could easily carry 250,000 men”

“That’s a bold move…”

“I didn’t even think of it I didn’t know enough about the geography of this continent that…”

Antras clenched his jaw When he thought about it, the Lester Kingdom was a country that accumulated wealth from maritime trade Their nautical skills were so advanced that they had been able to bring peace to the continent’s western coastline and even trade far aith the Waterport Kingdo for the Lester Kingdom to move a shi+p

At that moment, Duke Florian interrupted

“Wait, no matter how many people you can put on a shi+p, it’s still a quarter of athat they moved that many people? In a day?”

Even if the Terin River ide, It was too unrealistic to say that it could transport that many people

But Antras shook his head

“It’s a different story if they just transported people across the river”

“Across the river? Ah…”

That’s right No matter how many shi+ps had coht But what if they were just carrying thee shi+ps could easily do it in one night

In fact, the Lester Kingdoe shi+ps that Robin led to transport the soldiers across the river last night With shi+ps that were painted black, both the hull and the sails, it only took a few hours to transport all the soldiers across the river
