Chapter 460: Battle Ends

Chapter 460: Battle Ends

"The enemy is retreating from the Greltheaven," informed Shaun.

Finally, I sighed.

We won, but it had been an expensive victory.

Those mercenaries cost a lot, but the witchcraft that Caena had weaved had cost more than that.

Those cannonballs didn't hit those siege towers because they were powerful, and our mages had cleared the way for them.

No, it is because of witchcraft, that Caena took months to weave and cost a fortune to me.

Those spells weren't normal, and they were hidden in the twenty-four pillars of the grand witch spell, that bound me to the establishment.

It's why nobody discovered them. Even the witches, that might come to Greltheaven, wouldn't have discovered them.

It costs a lot, but it's worth it. It had protected my city.

"Ask them to start loading the patients, I want them to leave the city within an hour," I ordered.

We have been making preparations to send the heavily injured back to the Greltheaven to heal.

We have found the carriages and modified them for the risky patients.

It helps, that we had a few soldiers with Carpenter Class. There are even civilians with Carpenter Class in the city.

We have announced that we needed the people of the certain profession and many people have come forward from the civilians.

We found doctors, nurses, and people of needed professions.

It's not become clear yet whether we will be able to keep the city. It will all depend upon the battle at Port Midlet and what the undead do after, but we have started with our work.

"Inform me as soon as goods and men leave the Greltheaven," I added.

There will be soldiers coming to the Panar, while the injured will leave. I had asked Cardin to send them as soon as he can.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

We need to have Panar well-defended.

Though it would come at the cost of Greltheaven, it's a risk I have to take. If a large horde or army moved toward Greltheaven, I wouldn't hesitate to abandon Panar.

I have measures prepared, but these measures won't be able to handle a horde more than of two hundred and fifty thousand.

I pushed those thoughts away and got up.

I walked out of the office and silently walked. There was a high security, but as I crossed the hallway, it had become even tighter.

So much, so that even a small communication blockade is set up, and no one is permitted to even take a step out, for any reason.

Click!

Soon, I reached the door, and two guards bowed, and Shaun released his spell from the door before opening it.

Maximum precautions needed to be taken. I cannot let the enemies get an air of this.

I entered the room, and Shaun cast another spell, which made everything visible. Especially the man, sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed.

Bronze energy covered him and with every breath he took, it would send a ripple across his body.

The energy is suppressive, but I bore it. I still remember during the awakening process, it was hard for me to stay close to him, but now it only feels suppressive.

It might be because of the level, but I think it's aura.

"There is no need to think about that. You only need to focus on your recovery," I replied to her and turned to a middle-aged human man beside her.

I talked to a few patients and healers before walking out of the hospital and visited a few more before sitting in my carriage.

On the way, I saw a few groups of soldiers and officials entering the houses.

I even saw a few people moving toward the hospital on the stretcher.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and I walked out and stepped into the city hall.

Soon, I was in my office; I wanted to close my eyes, but I didn't. Even now, I am tired and if I close my eyes for too long, I might fall asleep.

I plan to sleep early today, but before that, I have a few things to do.

"Let's talk to the rest of the people," I said to Shaun and talked to people from lords to governors and other people, I didn't talk in the morning.

I find it tiring, but it needs to be done and needs to be done now.

I could make some calls tomorrow, but I want to finish today. Tomorrow, we might need to escape or there will be so much work that I won't have time.

It took over an hour before I finished speaking with all and focused on the things in front of me.

I might not have the complete information, but I have some and that is enough to start.

"My lord, the battle of Port Midlet has ended," informed Shaun, and my pen stopped on the paper.

I gently put it back with my heart beating wildly and turned to Shaun.

"What is the result?" I asked.

"Port Midlet defended successfully," he replied, and I felt relieved. I hate the bastards' guts, but I needed him to win the battle.

"What is the size of the retreating enemy?" I asked the most important question.

Our next step would depend on the answer to this question.

"They are saying it is less than a hundred thousand," I said and slumped on my chair hard, with relief flooding all over my body.

If it had been more than three hundred thousand. I would have abandoned the city.

Now with a hundred thousand. I didn't have to worry. The undead are unlikely to attack me because I am not the only one here.

There is also Deerpond and, to some degree, even Port Midlet.

Though I know what their losses are in this battle.

It is especially Deepond; it will try to attack the city if they sees the chance. They might not have before, but they will now that I have done it.

They have enough forces to do it. They didn't lose much in battle against us.

'Less than a hundred thousand.' I thought. The bastard is good, reducing their number by nine hundred thousand. It's not a small feat.

"Call General Azalea," I ordered.

Now that I am pretty sure, the city will be ours. It's time we start.

It's going to take a lot of money, but I will forge this city into the shield. That will defend Greltheaven from at least one side.

It took me two and a half hours to finish my meeting with Azalea and talk to a few people. By that time, I had finished; I was thoroughly tired.

Thankfully, I am sleeping. Taking the rest, that I desperately need.
