571 General Shidans Ambition (2/2)
The soldiers didn't dare to put their lives at risk.
This wasn't the first instance in the Royal Capital. There were a few occurrences this month. It wasn't known how the Victorians snuck into the capital and promoted their righteous cause for war using various disguised identities.
General Shidan sat in his office and racked his brain over the latest report.
After suffering a devastating defeat, it wouldn't have been surprising if General Shidan was given the death sentence. However, he was a General with a good track record of winning battles.
King Potato II pondered for a long time, but he didn't execute General Shidan. Moreover, many Nobles pleaded for him.
Though General Shidan wasn't executed, he was demoted to a Garrison Guard Captain.
His daily job was to maintain order in the city. However, it wasn't an easy job due to the ubiquitous Victorians.
Ten days after the neighboring Nobles were defeated by the Victorians, the Godly Kingdom's army arrived. The General who led the army wasn't better than General Shidan. He wasn't as cautious as General Shidan, so he ordered his soldiers to charge with disastrous results.
Tens of thousands of soldiers perished on the battlefield. Most of the soldiers were captured and sent to Eternal Kingdom.
After gaining the upper hand, the Victorians spread like a virus. They infiltrated every town and village and showed their never before seen unity and organization.
The unity and organization were relative to their prior performance. They were still inferior to a regular army.
However, the inferior quality of the Victorians wasn't a problem, as it was remedied by their sheer numbers.
A General once counted the number of Victorians. The number of killed Victorians was about two million.
Each soldier of the Godly Kingdom would kill one to two hundred Victorians before being killed. This kind of casualty rate would definitely wreck any country.
But the Victorians weren't affected by their high casualty rate.
They infested the Godly Kingdom like fleas.
They proceeded from the Victoria Forest towards the Royal Capital of the Godly Kingdom.
General Shidan hammered the table furiously. If he had control of the army, he would lead a victorious battle against the arrogant Victorians.
His previous failure was due to the collusion of the Victorians and the Devils of Eternal Kingdom.
