299 299. 80. Imperial Grail (4)

For the aristocrats of the Empire mainland, the rebels who had wished for Duke Bryan were nothing but mishaps that could be wiped out at any moment.

Nevertheless, it was entirely due to the absence of the Emperor who left the rebellious Cabal intact, even if it was wiped out immediately.

In the last war, it was also one of the reasons why the rebels were neglected as they had bordered the Kingdom of Leonberg, which had shown an unbelievable inferiority as a country of defence.

And soon after, the war broke out.

I have heard that troops from the Kingdom of Leonberg are attacking the rebel strongholds and fortresses across the border.

The aristocrats of the Empire were overwhelmed by their visions, and hoped that the rebels and the Leonberg Empire would suffer great damage.

It was a vain expectation.

The war was unilateral.

The Royal Army subjugated the rebel citadel and fortress with a devastating force, and less than three months after the outbreak of the war, it took down the home of the rebellious leader, Duke Bryan.

Contrary to the wishes of the mainland nobles, the damage suffered by the Royal Army in the process was extremely modest.

Consequently, I watched the Leonberg Empire swallow up the territory of the old empire.

Then the fire fell on the feet of the mainland nobles.

They assembled the Buriaburian troops and sent them to the fort and fortress of the land, on the one hand, and sent messengers to the centre to call for reinforcements.

Until then, the Mainland nobles were only somewhat surprised by the unexpected pace of advancement of the Royal Army and were not greatly threatened.

It was natural.

Unlike the northeast, where the core power was wiped out by the last war, the nobles here remained intact.

The troops that were guarding the citadel and fortress of the land reached 10 troops, and the additional troops that were deployed since then were the size of 10 troops.

Twenty real elite troops, not just troops that are just filling their heads.

There, even at this moment, the reserves are constantly increasing.

It was a powerful force that would never cross the border.

“Rather than Leonberg, Dothrin is doomed. Now that the southern troops that need to be supported have been wiped out by the Flower Dragon, it will not be easy for the Front's troops alone to stop the Dothrin Empire army. ”

They were more focused on identifying the dynamics of the Dothrin Empire than the Leonberg Empire.

However, in the meantime, they have not slowed down their vigilance against the Lions of the North, to be precise.

I knew the fierceness and arrogance of the Royal Army, but it could make up for the advantages of the troops.

But not as different as the lion of the North, Idrian Leonberger.

He was a genius.

How many Paladins are there, and he's not enough. One of the real monsters that the Knights can't keep sticking together.

Even though it was impossible to reverse the course of war alone, it was Idrian Leonberger who was capable of leading the war to victory no matter what.

Such a relentless beast was released to the battlefield, but the damage of his allies would be extreme if he started to jump as he wished.

Especially Idrian Leonberger, a Knight known as the Paladin Slayer, was able to overcome Jachit's faults, and the power of the Knights flew all over.

That's why I didn't win.

The nobles of the mainland never wished for a victory that was only a wound, and the goal was to defeat the Royal Army while maintaining complete power.

As the situation evolved, many of the Seizures headed for the kingdom of Léonberg were looking at the situation of Idrian Léonberger.

This allowed the aristocrats of the Empire to recognize early the existence of the Royal Army, which had begun to co-author Brien.

“The golden man at the forefront! This is Idrian Leonberger!”

The face of the Empire aristocrats, who gave and received opinions with a somewhat relaxed face, was hardened.

“What is the enemy's travel route and destination? ”

One of the dogs asked the messenger in a delicate tone, but without hiding as much as a wobbling eye.

“We are currently south of the border, and the final destination for the current route is estimated to be Fort Danang! ”

There was sighs all over the meeting hall.

They were lords with territory at the forefront.

They were blatantly relieved that the citadel targeted by the young lions of the North was not their own.

Only one, the owner of Fort Danang, and Count Danang, dared the messenger with a white tired face.

“Are you sure they're headed for Danang Fort! ”

He rarely wanted to believe that the same knight was heading to his fortress.

“We expect reliability to reach Fort Danang in the morning, sooner or later, by tomorrow evening! ”

“What's so fast! ”

The Count shrieked at the messenger's confirmatory assassination.

“Even though all the troops are on their way to the horseback, they are so small that they can't cope with the rapid manoeuvres of a squadron of troops! ”

The Count was flattered by the words of a messenger who shrugged his shoulder for a moment.

“Isn't that a lot? What is the exact size? ”

“Identified on a scale of 5 white ligaments! ”

“What are the troops that follow? ”

“Two legions are following you on Dobby Street! ”

The blood came back to the face of the pale Earl.

“I guess it wasn't the vanguard, it was the champion! ”

The Count was blatantly relieved.

It was as if I had heard that my fortress was miraculously saved just before the fall.

“Thank goodness. Thank goodness. ”

One of the little ones, who was staring at the Earl, who was picking up the word "elongation" without staring at him, opened his mouth.

“This is definitely an opportunity. ”

The Count looked at the Viscount with a rather brutish face in a noncontextual speech.

“Isn't my anonymous, drunken kid talking about scaring the world, like he's picking me up? ”

Seeing such an Earl, the Viscount laughed.

“Supposing you have 500 men, I think you can freeze with two legions and five knights. Is that what you think I am? ”

The nobles who looked at him smiling and speaking fluently stood up.

“That's right! If we're good, we can take advantage of the Empire's fame this time! ”

“You must be out of the ship with only 500 troops crossing the border of Burgundy! ”

“Don't get drunk on the gruesome victories you've won against rebels like Omazzol! ”

They say this is their chance to catch the troubled Idrian Leonberger.

“Our troops are coming! ”

“My sickness will be with you too! ”

Until a little while ago, those who wished not to face Idrian Leonberger blatantly shouted that they would go ahead.

He had already fled from the continent thinking of capturing a lion in his own north and shaking his head.

There were seven lords who promised to give me my troops, and the troops they gave me were 7,000.

Too many troops to catch just over 500 hostiles.

The nobles who went forward began to notice each other.

In his mouth, the army increased the number of reasons needed for this operation, all for their own good.

A situation that no one can miss if they only listen to you.

The atmosphere between the nobles is getting a little harsh.

“Here we go. There's nothing to argue with. ”

At that time, Idrian Leonberger, who had first commented, stood up and mediated the dispute between the overzealous nobles.

“Can't we just all go together without anyone's troops? ”

The nobles frowned at him.

I noticed that there were too many 7,000 troops moving to capture 500 hostiles.

But the ego was firm.

“Hunters do their best when they catch a rabbit, and the opponent is a lion in the North, not a rabbit. The more traps, nets, and hunters, the better. ”

Dorian Leonberger's capture of Idrian Leonberger in the last war increased how they failed, and the old nobles were secretly called trees, as if the operation had already been successful.

“More than 7,000 armies, five hundred of them knights and ten paladins. Even the ruthless northern lions can't really avoid the end this time. ”

The nobles nodded their heads and laughed.

None of them laughed and chirped that the operation would fail.

It was natural.

I mobilized ten times that force to capture 500 troops if I had to.

No matter how strong Idrian Leonberger was, he would never be able to defeat that army car.

Even the lions of the North, who defeated the Paladins countless times, did not, in the end, rejoice enough that a single human being could dominate the war.

“It's never going to happen, but if we don't mobilize enough troops. ”

One of the nobles stood up and spoke curiously.

“He's not a human, he's a god. ”

Then the other nobles became gods and spoke.

“And if he truly is a believer, I will gladly bow down before him, kissing his feet."

It was a word that could be accepted as an affront to the Emperor Zachit, but none of them here pointed it out.

That wasn't going to happen anyway.

Everyone thought so, and believed so.

Their faith in victory was as solid as a rock, until the messenger who brought the news came to the front several times a day.

“An allied scout who is currently heading towards Danang Fortress! They're all gone without a trace! ”

But in the words of the messenger, a small inconvenience arose from the rocky faith.

“Troops sent to determine the situation! Long Range Patrol! We've lost all contact! ”

Small incontinence soon became a crack.

“A thousand troops that bypassed the enemy to block the retreat! I can't reach you! ”

The cracks became even bigger.

And as soon as I heard about the two-day difference.

“Defeat your troops in the siege and extermination! All commanders, warriors! Paladin All Warriors! Knights Damage Extreme! Your troops are scattered and retreating! ”

I split my faith like a rock.

“Fort Danang is under attack! Idrian Leonberg!”

A tear poured out from the crack.

“Fort Danang has collapsed! ”

Then there was despair.

“The Leonberg Empire that took down Danang Fortress! It's a miracle!”

Finally, fear came out.

“Find it! Make sure you find where it went! ”

The frightened nobles of Burgundy scream.

And after two days of cowardice, the actions of the Leonberg royal army, which they wanted to find out, were revealed.

“Idrian Leonberger! We're coming straight for this place! ”

The raindrops that disappeared reached under their chins one day.
