Chapter 230: A Knights Honor (2) (2/2)
“Silver Sage, a carrier pigeon has flown in, sir”
“They found the enemy’s rear?”
“Yes, sir They said the ene west, sir”
“West?”
Antras immediately opened his do to ride northward on the Western main road and join forces with Republican forces led by Barron?”
If they took the main road in the west and continued northward, then they could join with the Republic
“We will stop theoal is the north! We will annihilate the 100,000 Republican troops led by Barron before the Lester Kingdom can join with them!”
“Yes, sir!”
At Antras’s coan to move
Antras turned towards Duke Christian Schweiker
“Duke, I believe I can fulfill my promise to you”
At his words, everyone else looked confused, but Duke Schweiker replied with a face full of expectations
“Thank you”
The Imperial Army advanced rapidly They had to move quickly if they wanted to attack the Republic Ardom’s army joined them
Fortunately, the western route that the Lester Kingdom picked was a detour If the Imperial army followed the Terin River and advanced northward, then they wouldthat the Republican Army has 100,000all the troops’
Because of this, the Imperial Army moved quickly The Iainst the 100,000 elite troops led by the strongest in the Republic
“General, the Imperial Army has appeared on the front lines”
The deputy’s voice reporting this was serene It was like he was reporting ‘the sky is clear today’ And the uid about it
“What’s the size?”
“It’s currently estimated to be 200,000based on the troops following them, sir”
“So their current size is double ours? All right, go get ready”
“Yes, General”
Although he proency
The ot up from his seat He had a relaxed look on his face, but the sharpness of his eyes contained the savageness of a wild beast and the perfectly trained body was covered in scars
He was General Barron, the strongest fried had played with the Fuhrers of the Republic in the palm of his hands, General Barron was someone even he couldn’t handle however he wanted
The strongest hts named Duke Christian Schweiker of the Andrews Eest ed that every ti forward Barron’s nanized the na against the Strabus Kingdonore There were even people who believed General Barron, who had fought through er than Duke Schweiker who hadn’t been as active in wars
Not to mention, these 100,000 troops that were led by Barron had absolute faith in their General They were probably the only men in the entire Republican Army who trusted Barron more than they did their Fuhrer
200,000 Imperial soldiers? Duke Christian Schweiker? What about the as General Barron stood in front of them with his back towards them, then whether their opponent was a God or a de to follow after him to attack their opponent
As soon as Barron stepped out of his barrack, the officers all greeted hireat discipline
“General”
“The enemy?”
“They’re in front of us, sir”
“Good”
When Barron reached out, a deputy handed hi scent of cheap whisky wafted out froulped it down like water before handing it back to the deputy
“I’ll drink the rest once this is handled”
“Yes, General”
“Ready the entire aruests”
“Yes, General”
“Silver Sage The Republican Ar, sir”
Antras nodded as he watched the Republican’s movements from atop the watchtower
“Quick response”
It see the army, wasn’t the only person he had to be cautious about The fact that the troops moved that swiftly meant that the soldiers themselves ell trained
“Infantry, to the front! We’re advancing slowly”
Keeping in ht happen and screw up his plans, Antras had his troops move forward
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Imperial infantry advanced forith footsteps that sounded like it could literally shake the earth Behind thee-scale weapons such as ballistae scattered throughout Finally, the knights and cavalry were in the back They were prepared to slip out at any moment to help their fellow soldiers
But this wasn’t a particularly revolutionary tactic; it was a typical battle formation However, because this typical battle formation was perfect, it would be far more effective than a revolutionary yet uncoordinated move This could only be improved by the Imperial Army’s size
‘Let’s see how they respond’
