Chapter 333: 333 east side of the northern Empire .

Apart from the Leos main unit, which cages on the west side of the Gordon faction, there was an army confronting Gordon’s army on the south side .

An army that was judged trustworthy among the military forces .

The general’s name is Harnish .

A young man in his late twenties, he was originally a deputy to General Estman .

At the time of the rebellion in Imperial Capital, he was involved in reconstruction activities in the south, and came under Leo with the recommendation of General Estman .

Lost one leg, three thousand under General Estman in a half-retired state and ten thousand under his own . He leads a total of 13,000 soldiers .

I learned my anger at the way I treated General Estman, who admired me like my father, and came out to the battlefield to hit Gordon with that anger, but now it was a situation where I had to seal that anger . Trans l a t e d b y jpm tl . ｃ o ｍ

“Any movement on the enemy forces?

“None . “

Sighing at the irreplaceable reply, Harnish stares at the opposing army .

I just want to go rescue to the main unit led by Leo, but the opposing army won’t allow that .

The enemy forces have an approximate strength of 20,000 .

It is Gordon, the general of the enemy army, who leads it .

“It’s a licked one” T ra n sl a te d b y jp ｍt l . ｃom

The general came out on purpose to abbreviate the harnish, and because he is complacent that he will not be discussed himself .

I’ve thought many times about breaking that pride . Each time I’ve restrained myself .

Gordon is suppressing the harnish, but vice versa, the harnish is suppressing Gordon .

20,000 enemy troops and a general . Not bad if you can attract that .

Of course the situation won’t improve, but it won’t get any worse now .

“How about a letter?

“I’m here again . Gordon himself . “

“If it’s an autograph from His Royal Highness Leezelotte, I’ll keep it in my room . Burn it, I don’t want it . “

“Ha . “

Although I only read the first one, I never read a letter since .

Gordon wants to get Harnish on his side somehow .

There’s a good reason .

There are surprisingly few Imperial Armies joining the Gordon faction . Gordon’s breathtaking army is still there .

But the majority of them were still watching the situation . Because Gordon failed to rebel in the Imperial City .

Tr an s l ate d by ｊp ｍtl . ｃ o m Whether it’s a good thing about Gordon, who missed his biggest opportunity . Many generals are lost .

The Emperor understands that . So I’m only letting a trusted general head to the front line .

But if Harnish puts it on Gordon, the flow changes .

Originally, a harnish that does not belong to the Gordon faction would be Gordon’s favor that much . All the generals near Gordon will head under Gordon .

Gordon was after it .

“Hmm, just kidding . “

Daimyo, Harnish had suspected that it would be a suggestion of the nobility beside him .

Gordon’s army is blocking the path to rendezvous with the Leos, but it hasn’t sealed the retreat path .

Even if it can’t be adjusted, if it can be withdrawn, it can change the flow .

Because withdrawing means abandoning Leo .

I can’t get out of it .

It is an operation that we cannot do without our political eyes, and one in which we are aware of our advantages .

Leo will suffer over time .

Alliances with the Empire do not come together immediately . Because the Empire has no flavor .

And to sum it up is Erik . I don’t even think I’d bother putting it together right away to help Leo .

“You Duke of Holzvat . I don’t need it . Wisdom . ” T r a n sla ted by Jpｍ t l . ｃ om

By now, Harnish had caught sight of the enemy as he called the name of the great nobleman who would be beside Gordon .

■ ■ ■

“There is no movement in the enemy army . Your Highness Gordon . “

“Hmm! I guess”

Gordon side position .

So reporting to Gordon is a magnificent man with long brown hair . The man’s name, characterised by a calm atmosphere and cold eyes, is Duke Rolf von Holzvat .

He is the head of the Duke of Holzvat, the famous family of the Empire .

During the Imperial Rebellion, Rolf was on Gordon .

During the imperial battle, Rolf sent himself to the Gordon faction and his second son to the Erik faction as a security measure . Looks like either one of us can win .

That is how the Duke of Holzvat family has maintained its position .

However, during the rebellion, Rolf decided to follow Gordon and ran under Gordon, including his eldest son, Geed, and his second son, Liner .

Seeing that, few nobles followed Rolf . For that reason, Rolf had established a definite position within the Gordon faction .

Together, the knights of the nobles also retained a definite fighting power, and Gordon respected such a Rolf .

That’s why I was following Rolf’s plan even though I thought it would be roundabout .

“Duke of Holzvat . I hear William allowed the enemy to replenish us, but can we stay put for a long time? T ra ns la t e d by Ｊpｍ t l . c oｍ

“The situation is no different . Only Cage Castle can do what Prince Leonardo can to get the food coming . No matter how long it takes, as long as the situation remains unchanged, there will be no alliance with the Empire . “

“You mean the reinforcements won’t come even if you endure it”

“Exactly . And over time, more generals will come to us . His Highness William has successfully seized prototype weapons in exchange for food . That analysis has also begun . Time is on our side . “

Gordon nods at Rolf’s explanation .

I had a desire to smash the army in front of me right now, but I can’t help but lose by doing that .

I will always win even over time .

Now Gordon was hungry for victory .

Because we know that, Rolf was proposing a lasting war . For an empire surrounded by enemies, the most unpleasant thing to do is prolong the war .

“Speaking of which . His Royal Highness Henrik was hoping to make an appearance?

“Henrik . . . you think I’d betray you?

“What do you think? I’m the younger brother of His Highness Zandra, so I’m likely to betray you by nature . But I already have no place in the Empire . I was wondering if you had the nerve to betray me . “

“I agree . Konrat and my mother are in a different situation from us . Not enough pawns . It wouldn’t be a bad idea to use it . “

“So do you entrust the command of the troops?

“Right . William will need reinforcements, too . Leave it to that commander . Let me take your oldest son, too . “

“Yes, I did . What will you do with your second son’s liner?

“That one is excellent . You need it for your internal affairs in Vismar, so leave it . “

“Ha . “

Gordon takes his seat after giving a single instruction .

Because we know that enemy forces can never move .

“I go to sleep . Don’t wake me up if there’s nothing like it . “

“Yes, sir . “

That’s what Rolf says . He bows his head respectfully .

Gordon ignored it as he felt frigid at the trick .

Because no matter what thoughts, there was no difference in what I could use .

If you want to betray me, fine .

Only smash .

Even if Rolf betrays him, his advantage in the north remains unchanged in Gordon .

“There’s also a trump card when you have to . “

Gordon went in to get ready for bed whining like that .
