Chapter 694 Interviews

Chapter 694 Interviews

While Eliza was in Vathax, Evan was dealing with the issues pertaining to his presence in the ongoing war.

Thanks to Arlan's memories, Evan had a pretty easy time devising a plan of action as the former hero had done something similar a lot during his Era.

People were criticising him for getting involved in another country's war, a lot said he was doing it for fame (which was true), while some others just said that the GEE had paid him money and he was basically a mercenary for hire.

When people were saying whatever they wanted, a press conference took place at the Barthmont palace, presided over by Prince David.

The contents of the Press Conference were broadcast live on radio and in it, David affirmed the GEE Emperor's claim of possessing the support of Heroes.

He also stated that he supported Evan's stance on the matter, revealing that he had also been looking into the War Remnant Structure as well and had been denied access by Wolfen.

The fact that Wolfen denied even the Beast King's son had people wondering exactly just what it was that Wolfen wanted to hide in that place.

People started accusing them of trying to monopolize whatever information or resources which were inside there.

Just when the President of Wolfen was trying to deal with the situation, Laurene also released a statement that basically amounted to the same thing that David had said. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

She then made it worse for Wolfen by revealing that she had discovered a War Remnant Structure and had explored it, but sadly, the information she discovered in it was things the general populace was already aware of.

This made things even worse for Wolfen, especially as the news of Tomond being captured with just 1 casualty was still causing problems internally.

That headline laid the foundation for Evan's statement regarding the treatment of War Prisoners.

That the costs of taking care of the tens of thousands of Wolfen Soldiers who were now held captive by the GEE, was to be incurred by Wolfen and not the GEE who was holding them captive.

Evan's statement went against all the war conventions the world knew.

People wanted to know just what he was thinking when he stated that, and they got their chance for an answer during the interview he had that afternoon.

Host 1: "Typically, it is the responsibility of the nation capturing the war prisoners to provide for their basic needs, including food. This is in accordance with international laws and conventions, which outline the humane treatment of prisoners of war.

So, I, as well as many others are wondering why you say the home nation of the prisoners should provide the provisions instead? This is unprecedented, to say the least."

Host 2: "Indeed. If the GEE is not going to feed them, then why take prisoners in the first place?"

Evan: "There's a first time for everything and I decided to be the Precedent of this.

The aim of this War is to Annex Wolfen for the sole reason of exploring the 'War Remnant Structure' in Agla, and I have a desire to keep the casualties to a minimum, so the only other alternative is to take the surrendered soldiers as war prisoners.

That is why I subdued the Firecrest Camp in the State of Tomond, with only the Brigadier General who refused to call for a surrender despite the fact that he was going to be sending his men to their deaths as a casualty.

During the time Beluar had been consolidating the GEE's rule on the six states that they had taken over, Wolfen was able to bring more soldiers to Zhupus so when the GEE's advance force came in, they were able to repel them with ease.

Unfortunately, the celebration of this victory was not long-

lived. As stated above, it was just an advance force.

Beluar led the main invasion into Zhupus and the state fell just like Liegan had, which then increased the amount of Wolfen Territory that the GEE had conquered.

Thanks to the reinforcements from the Air Force, they were able to handle the invasion without spreading their available forces too thin.

After all, the mages who rode the Wyverns and Griffons were perfectly capable of land combat as well.

Tomond, Liegan and Zhupus.

From the positioning of these states on the map, it was obvious that the GEE was really cutting a line straight to Wolfen's Capital of Agla.

Wolfen had quite a bit of mountainous regions and rivers that flowed from these mountaintops, so their speed was going to reduce after taking Zhupus as there were mountains and rivers in their path.

Perhaps, the founding fathers of the country had considered this when they situated their capital behind one of said mountains.

If they wanted to easily get to the capital, then the GEE would have to go around the Cudjour Mountain Range.

After this, they'd have to take down the state of Cudjour itself, and then Vadvale before finally making headway into Agla.

They would also need to deal with the other states to the east and west of Zhupus first, to avoid being faced with a pincer attack when they began moving towards Cudjour.

There were also the states and cities in between Zhupus and Cudjour which needed to be dealt with, but that wasn't Beluar's job.

Sixth Star General Amiyah Wallace arrived with her army of over 100,000 soldiers, accompanied by Air forces numbering 25,000 and they marched through Tomond, and Liegan, entering Zhupus where they split up unevenly and began attacking the states bordering Zhupus to the east and west.

Amiyah's Army pressed forward and quickly took over the state west of Zhupus, Ceasya, and their next target was Todbury which was right next to Ceasya.

But there was a problem with this.

In order to enter Todbury, they had to cross the river that flowed down from the top of the Cudjour mountain range. But unlike the shallow Liegan-Zhupus River, this one was much wider and deeper, and consequently much harder to cross.

Wolfen had shut down the bridges into Todbury when Ceasya fell and they had soldiers mounted all across the river banks.

Flying across would result in getting shot down and any attempts to construct a bridge would not be successful as the Wolfen Army would interfere.

It was then, that Evan returned to Wolfen, along with a certain someone who most definitely should NOT be with him.
