Chapter 248: I hope its alright if I change the landscape here a little bit

Duke Talister was an old man with an amazing physique.

At the moment, he looked discontent.

His majesty has already informed me to entrust command here to you.

Huh? I havent heard anything about that. Like, since when did I become something like a general?

Kuku, well, this makes things easier, doesnt it? Your ways dont really follow conventional strategies, you know. The less people in the way, the better, if you ask me.

Raul said so and laughed.

I couldnt imagine that such a thing was amusing for Duke Talister who has been guarding this place all this time.

*(hmp, what can a lad who isnt familiar with the land do? That railway was certainly extraordinary, but warfare is a completely different matter.)*

The duke might not have said anything, but his face said enough for me to certain that he furious within.

Ahmwell, this capital of yours is the southernmost point, right? Its safe to assume that this will be where the enemies will attack first, isnt it?

The duchys capitalwhich was a fortress citywas said to be the largest and most important fortress in the region.

Not necessarily.

What do you mean?

You are correct that this is the southernmost point in the duchy. However, there are 3 points of interest for our enemies. This is one of those 3. It should go without saying that the other two are formidable fortresses as well. However, should either fall, defending the kingdom will all of a sudden become hellish.

And so, in order to avoid a prolonged fight, the general decided that they would deploy most of their troops to assault the nearest and more accessible fortress: the fortress city that doubled as the duchys capital.

Also, in the generals mind, because the fortress city was the most formidable one out of the three fortresses, the enemies wouldnt expect that they would be going for it from the start instead of taking down either of the side fortresses first.

Before they proceeded though, the general heard the report of the spy that managed to sneak into the enemy kingdom beforehand.

As predicted, our enemies have stationed a great number of their troops to the two other fortresses. It seems that the army controlled by the royal army has already arrived, but the same cant be said about the reinforcements from the other nobles.

The general nodded as though he was satisfied by the report he heard.

Obviously, even with a large army, taking down a formidable fortress city with impressive walls was no easy task. However, the general was highly confident that they would come out triumphant.

At least, until

*Gogogogogogogogogogogogo!!*

The ground made such loud, rumbling noises.

The general looked for where those noises could possibly be coming from. Upon realizing what was happening, he was instantly at a loss for words.

eh?

Gigantic walls were fiercely rising from the ground.

Moreover, those walls stretched over the horizon. In effect, this completely blocked the path for their armies to advance.
