Chapter 251: The Devils Choice (1) (2/2)
Quite often, sed the world Sophia’s invention turned the tide of war to heavily favor the Lester Kingdom
“Your Excellency, our casualties are too great”
“Sir, I think we need to have the soldiers retreat a bit for now They’re not able to advance because of the ene an eye, Siegfried responded to his staff’s opinions
“No”
“Your Excellency!”
“This is a battle that must be won But at the safried spoke to them in a determined voice
“We need to end this battle before Milton Forrest arrives We can’t slow the attacks do”
“But, Your Excellency, the dae, but the results aren’t great either, sir”
“Still, that can’t be helped”
“Your Excellency! Then please stop giving strange drugs to the soldiers”
“”
When one of the officers spat out blood as he remonstrated, the mood turned cold and aard In that atmosphere, the officer clenched his jaw and continued
“You all knoell You all know that the Fuhrer has been feeding the soldiers an elixir that’s closer to a drug and causing the them out to battle There’s a limit to how much we can just cover our eyes and pretend not to see it!”
The other officers avoided his eyes while Siegfried responded cal me?”
“If Your Excellency is to be criticized, then it’ll be by how history judges you We’ve already decided to follo can we be considered differently?”
In other words, if you have sinned, then ill also have to bear the price of those sins as well
Siegfried nodded
“Then, why did you bring that up here?”
“It was estion made as an officer of this war, Your Excellency The soldiers’ bravery has becoet through the traps that are clearly in front of them properly now, sir”
“I see You have a point”
After answering like so, Siegfried looked up at the wall
The Republican soldiers couldn’t cross the obstacle on top of the wall and continued to fall It was clear that at this point, berserkers weren’t working It would be better to prepare the ordinary soldiers and send them up instead
However
“There’s no retreat Don’t stop now Continue attacking the eneh”
Siegfried fimly cut off his staff
“All your worries and advice make sense And I won’t ask you to pay for the crifried turned to look at everyone around hi stones for victory Have faith in me”
“Sir, are you serious?”
“In the next day or till have a chance to win”
At those words, the officer who had risked his life to estion nodded
“Yes, sir I’ll take your word for it, Your Excellency”
“Thank you”
“For the future of the Republic…”
Hoping for true equality and eternal paradise with the victory, the Republicans believed in Siegfried
For the first tiuilty as he looked into their eyes
‘It’s too late All I can do noin’
“We currently have an overwhele in the battle on top of the walls”
“Good”
Duke Palan clenched his fist in victory when he heard the report Sophia’s barbed orking very well against the Republican’s berserkers The berserkers were like a bug caught up in a spider’s web, so all they had to do was stab thehts to do on the wall now
“Have a third of the knights standing by the gate We don’t knohen the gates ht be breached, so triple the shi+elds… no,to Duke Palan’s order from the side, Queen Leila spoke up
“Don’t you think you’re focusing too ates?”
“Since the defenses above the walls have stabilized, the eneates”
“But I think the gates of the royal capital are strong enough?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, the gates are tripled, but there’s a one in a ten thousand chance, so I think it’s better for us to be prepared
Marquis Ryan Catel was already waiting by the gates For Duke Palan to add ive the Republics even a gap for a needle to get through
“I’ve left everything to do with the war in your hands, and yet, here I a about it I’ll trust you”
“Thank you, Your Majesty”
Having received Queen Leila’s trust, Duke Palan focused on the siege
‘I can protect this If we continue like this, I can protect thehness the Grand Duke arrives’
Although carelessness was soo in their favor, Duke Palan became convinced of their victory
Two dom’s capital had perfectly blocked all the Republican’s attacks In the middle of the battle, Jake had tried to cli escalades, but the Lester Kingdom had made preparations in advance and Rick burnt the escalades with the oil
And just like Duke Palan had expected, the Republicans had tried attacking the gates with a battering raates to the capital city of the Lester Kingdom had a special feature where several layers of iron slabs had been added to the wood
At one point in tifried himself had stepped out and used his Aura blade, but had only fried had gotten daed instead as arrows and catapults poured down upon hidom’s capital was the definition of an Iron Wall of Defense
The capital had plenty of supplies, so they didn’t need to worry about starving They believed they could last until Milton Forrest returned
However…
“We’re ready, sir”
Eliza looked at Siegfried with a smarmy smile
“It’s finally done?”
“Yes, sir It’s enough now You can use it whenever you want”
“”
Rather than looking happy after hearing Eliza’s report, his face expressed bitterness Even if he was Siegfried, he was still reluctant to use it, but
‘There’s no other way’
For a second, Siegfried recalled the words of his officer who insisted on speaking his opinion
He had said that if anyone were to judge Siegfried, then it would be history that would judge him
“History will putover it now?”
“Well, I'fried looked towards the wall as he spoke to Eliza
“I can’t give up now Do it”
“Yes, then as you say…”
