536 Chapter 519: The Duke's Army

Your Highness, Julio! Are you all right?

"Raul! Thank you for coming!"

Julio greeted Raul as he entered the fort.

A few aristocrats walked in behind them.

His Royal Highness Prince Julio, Count Pinto or below, and the nobility of the frontier will join us under His Royal Highness.

"You've made a good decision, Count Pinto.I will surely reward you after this battle. "

Thank you.

After that exchange, Count Pinto turned to me.

I'd like you to meet Prince Arnold.

"How could I be Arnold?"

"I have a message from my brother, the Duke of Berkwein."

"Let's hear it, uncle. What did you say?"

“Don't get hurt,” he said.

Looks like your uncle.

Even though I'm going to fight, I'm not going to get hurt.

Well, don't worry too much.

"I see. Now, let's not get hurt."Are you sure it's okay to leave my personal safety to you guys? "

I'll take care of you, I'll be sure to protect you!

"Let's buy that spirit." There are no 2,000 reinforcements in this fort.You'll have to set up a line outside the fort.Describe the location. Go inside. "

We shouldn't disperse our forces with only half of our opponents, but we can't force ourselves into the fort.

A thousand strongholds. Two thousand reinforcements set up a place where the fort and the Duke's army could be kept in sight.

That's the best you've got.

If they weren't stupid, they'd leave a few containments in the fort and attack 2,000 reinforcements out there.

Well, if that happens, I'll just hit it.

■■■

"Idiot."

I murmured at the unexpected behavior of the opponent.

The Duke's army somehow suppressed the reinforcements to two thousand, and dispatched an equal number of two thousand.

I chose to attack the fort with the remaining 4,000.

If I only dropped the fort, it would be over.

I was in the fort, and so was Julio.

Did you think you could crush a thousand of them?

Anything is short-circuited.

Whatever.

"There's no easy way to attack a fort."

That's why I look up at the sky.

It's not over there, it's over here.

It was an empty force.

The enemy is reluctant to interfere with the Kingdom and is not accompanied by Marcel.

That's probably why.

There was no Eagle Lion Knight.

But I have my own escort here.

There is an escort that can attack the ground freely from the sky.

Are you sure you want to intercept me?!

"Aim only for siege weapons." That breaks the enemy's will to fight. "

Roger that!

Finn, who's been falling close, takes my orders and raises the altitude.

Then I started thunderbolting from my staff.

The weapons were intended for the attack on the fort.

It was the Duke's army that was carrying the heavy weaponry, but it was struck by lightning.

A weapon that collapses. A weapon that inflames.

More and more chaos spreads among the Duke's army.

Countless thunderstorms falling from the sky.For the Duke's army, it would be no different from a natural disaster.

Even though we are securing the sky, we didn't choose to attack the fort easily.

He sighed in awe.

Did you forget that Finn existed, or didn't you think so?

The Duke's army is in chaos, and the frontline has collapsed.

We have been forced to retreat.

Two thousand of the opponents who were moving to suppress two thousand reinforcements also withdrew.

After all, we just lost our siege weaponry.

At the very least, I want you to move at night and show me a little more ingenuity.

"Your Highness is a Kingsguard..."

"Not my Kingsguard."My father's Kingsguard.Besides, Finn's still quiet, isn't he? "

Under the special condition of emptying, the fins have only an indiscriminate force.

However, some of the Kingsguard Knights had unparalleled power regardless of their conditions.

The Prince confirmed the seriousness of the Empire, because if the Kingsguard were mobilized, the Empire's chances of victory would be greatly increased.

My father was undefeated in battle, but many Kingsguard knights accompanied him.

It was harder to lose that battle.

This is what he said.

The Kingsguard was a threat.

"Is this normal... even though you defeated 4,000 enemy troops by yourself..."

"The threat level changes depending on the same four-thousand leader."Keep your eyes peeled. The Duke will surely weep at Marcel.If that happens, the four thousand that are now retreating mercilessly will be turned into elite. "

"... why is your Highness so wary of Ambassador Marcel?"Of course, I know Ambassador Marcel is amazing, but.... "

"I feel the same smell."That was a big bowl.I'm sure he's the kind of person who deceives himself and others if they need him. So be vigilant. "

"Are you a liar... what kind of lie does the ambassador lie about?"

I guess I can guess.

He's got a big attitude toward me.

Three Knights of the Eagle Lion were escorted.

I can roughly guess what this is all about.

And the Duke of Albatro is an absolute must for the kingdom.

If we add the Duke of Albatro to the kingdom here, it will threaten the southern part of the Empire and reduce its naval capabilities.

The Empire could fall into the quagmire, as it did in previous wars.

Then the Empire will not remain silent.

Over the past few years, Lise hasn't been able to defend the Iron Wall above her, but if the Empire is going to go to war with the Kingdom, it will do so.

A strategic hub. That's the Duchy of Albatro.

I can't leave it to my men.

"Well, the duke is scared and can't move for a while."Let's get some rest in the meantime.Tell the nobles to rest.They'll be tired, too. "

I tell the message, and I pull back into the fort.

This is three thousand. Six thousand over there.However, the morale of 6,000 people is low, and there are disturbing insects.

I've lost in numbers, but I think we have the advantage.

Time is on our side.

Let's have a look around.
