Chapter 179: The village has temporarily moved to the royal capital

Whats the meaning of this!? Why is there no city!?

It-it was here just yesterday, sir!Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

If thats the case, then why is there nothing here right now!? Dont tell me it just vanished overnight!

Hiii!

Lord Alberts shouts reverberated through the wasteland.

After arriving in the wasteland, the 20,000 Albert troops saw nothing but the vast wasteland and the nearby monster infested areas.

The rumored city was nowhere to be found.

Or have we been following false information from the very start?

That cant be the case. Multiple investigators have already confirmed the citys existence, not to mention the many citizens who have entered the city themselves.

maybeeveryone onlysaw anillusion?

Hohoho, an illusion of that scale is impossible.

Then, what other explanation is there? What, did the city move itself elsewhere?

While 3 of the 4 generals were perplexed like that, the scouting unit sent to run around the wasteland returned.

Weve discovered a mysterious road that leads to the center of the wasteland!

A road?

The marquis rode on his horse to the said location and found the said road.

It was decided later that the Albert army would head to the royal capital.

It was, naturally, to take it back.

However, on their way there, they have been ambushed multiple times.

They got our supplies again!

The soldiers also havent been able to get a good rest because of the repeated attacks!

Enemy soldiers have been appearing out of nowhere in their campsite in the middle of the night.

It would seem the enemies primary goal was to make their supplies and weapons unusable. After denying them of what could be said to be the lifeline of every army, the enemies would disappear as mysteriously as they appeared.

No matter how vigilant they become, they still couldnt catch their enemies, much less prevent their attacks. On the other hand, the loud alarm bells going all through the night have prevented the soldiers from getting enough rest and thus sped up their exhaustion.

This has caused more and more soldiers to desert.

However, since their food supplies had dwindled so much due to the attacks, soldiers leaving strangely worked in favor for the Albert army.

A roundtrip to and from the wasteland has made the soldiers reach peak exhaustion. Our food supply is quite low as well. I think we should rest and stock up here for the meantime

Nonsense! If we take too long, the other nobles armies will join in the fight as well. Thatll make it harder to take back the capital. It doesnt matter how many men desert, we will continue marching!

Like that, Marquis Albert dismissed his subordinates suggestion.

If it was made known that the Albert army was struggling at the moment, the nobles who had decided to stand back and watch might instead make their own moves against the Albert army.

And so, before that happens, they must recapture the capital as soon as possible. After force marching all the way to the capital, about only half of their soldiers remained.
