515 Chapter 497: Pawns

Al is on his way to the Principality.

There was movement on the western border of the Empire.

"Division Commander...! I see...!" This is the faction that keeps the enemy's supplies...! "

The Royal Army has repeatedly attacked Leo's absent Western Border Guard.

Although there is a truce, it is the front line.

That is not uncommon in itself.

The Imperial Army has fought back around the Mage Corps and defeated them all.

However, in the process, the Western Border Guard has acquired an enemy invasion plan.

Fragmented, the plan was for Leo to deal a massive blow to the Western Border Guard before he could take command.

You have a few more days to do this.

In support of that, General Balland, a famous general of the Royal Army, had disappeared with an army of fifty thousand men.

There is no doubt that they headed towards the border, and together with the confronting Royal Army, it will be a large army of over 80,000.

The Imperial Capital was checking up on the enemy.

The Western Border Guard has identified the location of enemy supplies based on information obtained from Royal Guards who have been taken prisoner in previous battles.

Colonel League, the Division Commander of the Mage Corps, proposed to ambush them.

The Western Border Guard is currently at 40,000.

After the enemy has swelled to eighty thousand, we can't defeat them.

We will not break through, but we will surely take the blow.

But the enemy is a large army. Without supplies, we can't move.At least we can buy Leo some time to get here.

However, there were two problems with it.

One is that there is a truce going on.

A skirmish would still be a clear attack on the enemy armory.

The Empire may have broken the truce.

The other thing was that the supply camp was heavily guarded.

The place is in the mountains. The regular roads are heavily guarded, otherwise the roads are steep and impossible to break through.There's a cliff on the back, and it's impossible to break through.

It was impossible to approach unnoticed.

However, the Mages managed to use their magic to break through the cliff behind them.

He's posing as a bandit just in case we find out.

Now the Empire can escape.

"There can't be any bandits who can break through the cliff..."

Colonel League muttered and smiled bitterly.

In politics, that trivial escape is important.

I hope there's no evidence that the Empire did it.

Whether it's the work of the Empire or not, the diplomats argue with an unfamiliar face that they are not the Empire.

It was a measure to that end.

I knew that was Colonel Leagle.

However, the 500 elite who took part in this operation will not be dealt with by the Imperial Army.

It won't be a death of honor.

The elite form the core of the Mage Corps.

All the mages the League scouted directly.And I trained, with Zandra.

That's why Zandra was under house arrest halfway through her life.

No matter how much Zandra's rebellion was involved, Zandra was involved in the establishment.

The executives were also close to Zandra.In fact, Zandra was repeatedly asked to help.

They bounced off. Because we are only soldiers.

However, it was still not credited.

I was supposed to be waiting for the only thing left to dissolve.

There was someone who pulled such a mage group back to the front.

Nothing else, Leo fought Zandra.

In an almost arbitrary manner, Leo took the Mage Corps, including the League, to the front line.

If you want to clear your suspicions, you have no choice but to give them a hand.

Give them the opportunity to do so.

Leo said that and used the Mage Corps properly.

Believing Leo's words, the Mages fought desperately.

Nowadays, there is no one in the Western Border Guard who doubts the Mage Corps.

However, they are not yet trusted by the Imperial Centers.

I need more tricks.

Otherwise, my men will feel narrow shoulders for the rest of their lives.

"Let's go...!"

The League calls out to its men and quietly infiltrates the enemy faction.

If I find out here, I won't have any children.

We must burn the supplies quietly.

However, I am aware of the anomaly immediately.

There was no one in the camp.

There weren't even any guards.

"What do you mean...?"

"Division Commander! We have no supplies!" It's all oil! "

"Ugh! It's a trap!! Retreat!!"

When the League shouted, it was already too late.

Zorro and the kingdom's soldiers appeared as they surrounded the Mage Corps that entered the camp.

In his hand was the artillery.

Oil was stored in the arsenal instead of food.

If you get hit by that kind of artillery, you won't be able to escape.

But the soldiers will not fire the artillery any time soon.

"It was a spectacular ambush, Colonel League."

A dark-haired man on a horse appeared behind the soldiers.

Is the year past forty?He's tall and handsome.

Someone quickly came to a decision.

During the war against the United Kingdom, Balland, the kingdom's general, fought alongside the Holy Maiden Leticia.

“Who's Colonel League?”

"You're thorough." I'll tell you what.Your Highness is going to set you up in a trap. "

Your Highness?

"Yes, it was all planned.I moved with the army, and a lot of information leaked.It's all a trap to lure you out here.This is the plot of His Highness Prince Ansem. "

"The Third Prince of the Kingdom..."

A genius who was once expected to be the greatest king of martial arts in the history of the kingdom.

The expectation was shattered by the harm done to health by the poison.

In recent years, due to his rest and recuperation, he did not appear on the stage.

But the genius finally turned his finger on the Empire.

"I have a message for you from your Highness."I'll tell you what. His Highness Zandra made a good unit.I won't fight from the front with respect. That's it. "

"It's an honor..."

If everything is planned, there is no hope of escaping.

If so.

"The enemy you aim for is General Balland! It's worth more than a fortune!Drop your head!! "

You're ready to die.

I sneaked into enemy territory knowing the dangers.

I can't do it without my hands.

At least I'll take you to hell.

The Leagues were headed by the Mages.

At the same time, the artillery was fired.

The faction was engulfed in flames, and many Division members were burned to the ground.

But as they burned themselves, the division crew headed for Balland.

OOOOOOO!!

Soldiers harden around Balland in their hands.

But Balland is expecting it, and more and more guards are gathering.

"Damn! Immortal!" These guys!? "

"Don't be a wolf! I'm defending myself at the barrier!"You can't use magic to attack! "

Yes, when Balland screamed.

A large fireball lands beside Balland and blows up a large group of guards.

"What are you doing!?"

The fireball flew from within the camp.

With a close look, there was a League there.

You attacked without protecting yourself!

The League's attack won't stop.

Several fireballs hit Balland.

But Balland bounced them all off with his sword.

Eventually, the attack stopped, and the division members who escaped the fire were taken down one after another.

"General Baland! Are you safe?"

"I'm not safe."

Balland said that and stared at the sword of love in his right hand.

"It was a love sword that we had together for more than 20 years."It's the same as losing one arm. "

The sword was half melted and useless.

"I couldn't prevent the next blow."It was a trap.Under the command of Leonardo, if he had been ambushed on the battlefield, there would have been no life. "

Balland's sober analysis turns the faces of the soldiers next to him blue.

With the sword of love in his hands, Brand called in a messenger.

Tell His Highness that the operation went well.

"General, does your Highness mean your Highness Lucian?"Are you referring to His Highness the Ansem? "

"I will not give the honorable title of His Highness to anyone who calls himself the Prince in secret!" If you get it, go! "

"So, but I wonder if the King's City is waiting for a report..."

Then just tell His Highness that it worked!

Barando yells at the messenger, then sighs deeply.

Because Anthem obeyed, Baland obeyed, but there is still dissatisfaction with the prince.

Most of the proven generals on the front lines fought alongside the Virgin Leticia to defend the Kingdom.

"I don't have anything to say if your Highness succeeds to the throne..."

Balland murmured knowing that it would not come true.

And We ordered the whole army to retreat.

The League and the Mages were good pawns.

That's why I was aiming.

But it's the same for Balland.

It is a pawn and not a player.

In response to this, Leonardo rushes to the Western Border Guard.

Then I will be in the position of a league.

All-out combat begins when you have all the players.

You're not the only ones with a talented prince, my empire.

After mumbling in the direction of the Empire, Balland ran his horse.
