52 Fallen Castle of Braam.

Since the oath of allegiance of Aelsar Tohu, more and more chicas have joined the Kingdom of Robos every day.

Duke Bastein's capture plot was a success.

The duc gained the loyalty of the Southern Coast City-States by promising to devote a substantial portion of the Great Desert trade to the coastal forces by constructing large ports and paved roads throughout the Great Desert and gaining the favor of the local tribes passing by.

He also pledged to expand the farmland by building a large number of canals for agriculture-based forces and was drawn to one axis of the Robos coalition. And to the small and medium-sized city-states and tribal areas of the Western Plains, where he makes tribute every year to Braam, he not only discards human tribute, but also lowers the transfer of tribute to the washwater level of the Kingdom of Robos.

You make a pact and shake the unity of the Braam Alliance.

Of course, leaving this promise will cost a lot of money, but it's in Kara, so there's nothing wrong with keeping it.

And the goal of the Duke of Bastein's strategy was to isolate hostile forces.

It was part of a strategic plan to bring out the support of the small and medium-scale Great Desert forces persecuted by nearby powers and to lead the future wars seamlessly to Braam and Kara alone, including the Great Desert Bandits.

Furthermore, Duke Bastein has made efforts to expand his supply.

The Horse Trade Route was so impetuous and vast that if I believed in this supply route and entered Kara, I could face a great crisis that could result in the death of all of my troops.

Thus, the Duke's supply of the Robos Kingdom troops totaled three routes.

The first was a central supply ship via the Horse's Trade Route, and the second was a seawater supply ship that landed the Navy on a coastline less than a month and a half south of Kara, based on the oases in between. And finally, a multilateral local supply ship through the surrounding military city-states and tribes and the Chicago War merchants.

It was.

“Oh my, you see that? It's raining. ”

Me, Shura, and Armida were watching live footage of the battle between Braam and the Robos Kingdom troops from a floating battleship in Euroa.

With four days of continuous catapult attacks, Castle Braam has been almost torn apart. Aquatic soldiers are making every effort to repair the fallen wall, but it seems meaningless. This was the reason the walls kept coming down with endless catapult attacks.

I folded my arms and planted my heart.

“Hmm. Duke Bastein. You can go in if you want, but you're not going in. ”

“Sister, are we going to attack? ”

“That was a long time ago. See? The walls are down. ”

“Then why aren't you going in? ”

I joined the Lobroth Army and took a quick glance at the Chicago troops involved in the war.

“Looks like we're going to a psychological battle with our allies. The catapult attacks are a little glamorous and video. It's definitely scary when you see those big rocks flying away and the towering walls collapsing helplessly. So I think he's threatening to stop betraying the united Chicago kids. ”

“Oh, yeah? How long is that gonna last? ”

“You'll get tired of it. You'll stop soon enough. It's normal to get used to fear. That's why we need a new fear. ”

As expected, the dialysis attack stopped shortly after. Dozens of scrambled eggs and shield cars are advancing soon. After them, a group of troops follow. Some Robos soldiers were included, but the majority were mercenaries.

‘What a peacock! You've brought down the walls and even hired some mercenaries. This human is so dirty. ’

Siege wars require many sacrifices, so they generally leave the front line to mercenaries. Not only are they skilled in combat, but if they die in combat, their rewards will be solid.

But now the walls of Braam are nearly complete. I didn't have to use mercenaries to pay my allowance.

Moreover, if mercenaries enter the castle first, massive looting will occur. In the meantime, there will be a terrible massacre, and many of the buildings in Braam Castle will burn down.

Nevertheless, if you use mercenaries, it seemed like the purpose of the disaster that would happen as looting. Since we cannot allow plunder in the face of the great nation, it appears that the intent is to use the ferocious temperament of mercenaries to provoke accidental plunder.

And the next day, I'll show the horror to the Chicago Alliance, and if something goes wrong, I'll blow some small mercenary boys' heads off for insubordination.

The duc seems extremely concerned about the treachery of the united chicages. It's not a strong alliance after several generations, so you should be worried.

“Here we go.”

Braam's soldiers struggle over the walls with arrows fired from beneath the ruins and walls. His archery appeared to be dominant in the Braam army, but he had no way of surviving with the royal army throwing arrows at him in overwhelming numbers.

Moreover, the mercenaries are pushing through the walls, pushing through the defensive forces that are blocking them. The soldiers on the wall are now in a situation that must stop the enemies coming up from behind.

Soon, a white war broke out over the walls, and a group of Lobros imperial troops led the cavalry to charge in unison.

It's over. The battle is still imminent, but it's a one-sided slaughter with no tactical significance from now on.

Sweetie, sweetie.

Then the doorbell that was installed in the room rang. It looked like a customer had come.

I went down and opened the door.

“Hey, what brings you here? ”

The guest was nothing but a wooden monk. But now his face is pale white. It appears you've been informed of Braam's progress through magical communications.

“I'm here to discuss something urgently. ”

“Yes, come in. ”

With permission, Udine sits on the couch I guide him on a swift pace.

Udine opens his mouth in fear of me chasing after the car.

“Braam Castle has fallen. ”

That said, I scratched my head. The video I just saw in real time was still full of combat. Of course, it would eventually collapse, but there was no rush to say it was now.

“Who said that? ”

“Commander Abdul, who applied for Braam, has reported in. ”

“Oh, so that guy's probably coming back to Kara by now? ”

“No. I've already returned through the portal. ”

I put out my tongue. I don't know why Kara's soldiers are so viable. It's just a breach in the walls, and we're back. It's obvious. The commander, Abdul, was clearly frightened and ran as soon as the Kingdom of Robos began a full-scale siege.

Plus, I'm pretty good at telling lies about Braam's collapse.

“What about the rest of you? ”

“They have survived their old lives and are on their way to Kara via the Horse Trade Route. ”

“How many survived? ”

“Fortunately, Commander Abdul's swift judgment has allowed most to escape the castle safely. ”

It was a quick decision, but we preserved the troops anyway, so if it's public, it's public.

“Okay, so what do you say? What are you doing here today? ”

“Master. Please help us, Kara. ”

Suddenly, the Wooden Master kneels and squeezes his waist.

I knew something would come. With Braam destroyed and the vast majority of the Great Desert on the side of the Kingdom of Robos, Kara's downfall is only a matter of time. As Kara, she wanted to catch a straw, so she desperately wanted a powerful force.

I fell into a deep thought with a long silence. Not long ago, I never wanted to get involved in this war, but now I was a little hesitant.

What do you want me to do? ’

If I participate in this war, I will have to run until winter comes. Kara's army is as weak as it gets.

However, if I participate in this war, humanity will experience a powerful weapon that will be useful in the age of doom in the future. the systems that humanity introduced at the time and the weapons that were useful.

Then mankind, who gained new knowledge, would fight back with greater strength in the age of destruction, and would survive longer.

In other words, my lifespan naturally increases.

Partly disappearing luxury life and extended life. In the midst of all this, I straightened up my thoughts and resurrected the Wooden Death.

When I settled down, I tilted the wooden monk in a quiet manner.

“Master Oodin. One moment of emotion will never save Kara. ”

“Yes?”

“Kneeling doesn't solve the problem. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Your troops are about 4,000 now? ”

“Yes.”

“What about the royal army of Robos? ”

The current Lobroth Empire army has grown more than before its departure. In terms of the base amount of 150,000, 17,000 mercenaries and 32,000 Chicago allies totaled 199,000. No, the number of city-states and tribes we've ever seen will return to the Kingdom of Dagger Robos with the fall of Braam, an exponential increase.

“In my judgment, I think I'll soon be able to see more than 200,000 to 250,000. ”

“Then you know you can't fight. ”

Udine shakes his head.

“Yes · · · · · · · ·. ”

"But there's one way to win."

Uddin says you're parched. I just meant that it was the only message of hope he heard.

“How on earth? ”

“Just follow 100% of what I say. ”

“I'll follow.”

It was Wooden, who didn't ask, but immediately asked. I know it's urgent, but I don't see anything I can trust.

“One of them will have the authority to appoint a clan and change its title as I wish? ”

Udine opens his eyes. Such great power did not even have sovereignty. Of course it was possible, but I couldn't do as I wanted.

“That's ridiculous. The other tribes will never accept it. ”

“But we have to. We need the strength of the common people to get the troops we need right now, but it's difficult to stop the tribe's system. Anyway, this is as concessional as possible. I was gonna say abolish the Four Nations. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Hey, are you going to lose everything? Are you going to give up some? I think it's a simple choice, but you guys are tough. Well, then we have to destroy it. ”

That said, Uddin looked me straight in the eye. But it was a simple choice, as I said.

“Very well. I'll try. ”

“Good choice. ”

“But we need minimal grounds to convince the men to complain. Or Kara will be torn apart by them. ”

It was not necessary to divide the battlefield according to Woedin's concerns. Then many traitors will emerge, and their power will be greatly diminished by the extreme clashes between them.

But if you think about it, you don't have to make a convincing argument.

“We already have the evidence, but what are you looking for? If you win this war, your people will have a much greater advantage than what you lost this time, right? ”

“What's the benefit? ”

“Kara is the capital of the Great Desert. There will be a unified chicago. Is this some kind of joke? ”

Now that Braam is dead, there is no Great Desert force to stand against Kara. After defeating the Kingdom of Robos and consuming Braam, Kara will have a strong influence on Western Great Plains and Great Desert Trade Routes.

In other words, the dream of building a Great Desert Kingdom touches your fingertips.

Of course, it is a kingdom that will perish eight years later, but it was not a problem to silence the dissatisfaction of the four tribes.

“Well, I guess so. ”

“Once the unified kingdom is established, we'll need a lot of them. And do you have any other royal grandsons? If you work for a commoner or a slave or a nation, he is a nobleman and a nobleman. ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

“Whatever I do, you have nothing to lose. It's a tough war, so the pie you get from winning is big. So just think about winning. The road to glory is so small that everyone will die. ”

“I understand.”

A crisis is an opportunity.

Kara is facing a huge crisis of the invasion of the Kingdom of Robos, but an opportunity to build a kingdom unlike any other has ever dreamed of.

I was going to use this as an excuse to manipulate Kara. The driving force that drives human movement is desire.

“Let's go to the palace of Kara, then. It's so important we can't decide for ourselves, right? ”

“Well, we'll need your permission. Okay, I'll take you. ”

I soon made my way to Udine and Tohu's palace.

Kara's master is Padilla. With her permission, I could do anything.
