‘I completely lost’
Antras was distressed He realized that he had been tricked by the ene He had fallen into the trap of thinking with a strategist’s co a river at their backs, the Lester Kingdoht tooth and nail He never even considered that the eneht choose to retreat
As a result, he had completely lost the ene a chicken,[1] Antras began to analyze the situation and quickly predicted the enedom, then I’d…’
Antras spoke firo like this”
The others looked like they were in agreement Currently, the Ehts set on the Lester Kingdom Of course, the Empire had set some of their forces aside in case the Republic counterattacked but if they lost the Lester Kingdo with only failure to show
The Ie as it was, it consue amount of supplies every tidom here, then the Empire would only have wasted supplies, but doo and do what next
‘The proble which direction the I on which direction the Lester Kingdom’s army went after they crossed the river
If the Lester Kingdooal would be Sir Florian as aidom’s mainland Even if Sir Florian led 50,000 soldiers, the odds of hidoh
But it would also be a probleone north The north had the Republicans In other words, the Lester Kingdoht join forces with the Republican army
This would really be a problee due to General Barron of the Republic’s counterattack The reason the Edodom could join forces with the Republic
If you calculated the da of the hen the Lester Kingdo with the supplies consumed in this battle, then there was a possibility that the Empire would be pushed back, even in a head-on battle, if the Lester Kingdom and Republic united
‘We have to stop the a broad frontline If we stop the Lester Kingdo their forces, then it won’t be too late’
Antras waited nervously for the infor teams had quickly made rafts to cross the river and search for traces of the Lester Kingdo on the outcome, the Imperial Army’s response would be different
A scout finally brought in the infordo the information, Antras jumped out of his seat as he shouted
“Good! Then we’ll i
“Antras, what’s the matter?”
“”
Duke Sebastian realized so and questioned hiht and didn’t respond
‘Would a strategist who’s worked this hard to retreat leave behind traces like this?’
If it was him, he would have done his best to erase his tracks as much as possible If that wasn’t possible, then he’d deliberately leave tracks to trick the enemy away
In that case…
“Give the reconnaissance teaeons and fast horses and have them find the enemy’s rear!”
“Sir? Ah, yes, sir!”
“Report it immediately as soon as you find the location of the enemy’s rear Quickly!”
“Yes, sir! Understood”
As thehim like that, Duke Florian frowned at hiht now?”
“We don’t knohere exactly the enemy is yet”
“Didn’t they say they found traces of the Lester Kingdo south? If we let the the detached force will be isolated and in danger!”
Duke Florian shouted at hirily But Antras was calht now is accurate infor course, then we truly wouldn’t be able to change courses”
Antras planned to wait and not ht him accurate information But Duke Florian realized that his faet it I’ll lead o down south!”
Duke Florian rose from his seat and tried to leave when Duke Sebastian blocked his path
“Sit down, Duke Florian”
“Move”
“I can’t do that Sit back down”
“”
Duke Florian glared at him
He swiftly pulled out his sword and tried to point it at Duke Sebastian, but…
Marquis Baker Gotharabbed his aro of…”
Duke Florian trailed off
He sahere Marquis Gotha with his chin Duke Christian Schweiker was staring at hi anyhih…”
Duke Schweiker wasat him, but it seemed felt he was tied up with a rope and couldn’t ered face, Antras spoke
“I understand your anxiety But as the person in charge of this war, I can’t put Sir Florian’s safety before the outcome of this war”
“”
“Please understand”
Duke Florian sat doith a sigh at those words Whether he looked at it from a military standpoint or tried to find a justification for it, this wasn’t a situation in which he could do anything
“Wait for now Waiting is better than being hasty and s”
That hat Antras said, but he also knew that he couldn’t waste too much time He was just as anxious as Duke Florian
‘Thankfully, it hasn’t been long since the enemy retreated The scouts should be able to catch up with the enemy’s rear in at least half a day It won’t be too late to move then’
But, that also meant they couldn’t delay for more than half a day By then, they won’t have any choice but to move south
And a little bit later
