Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 2. Circus (4)

Likayen next to her said with a slightly irritating look, as if she could sympathize with the appearance of her.

“I didn't think it would come to this. ”

The two of them were on their way out from the meeting of the chief minister in the Fortress of the Ruo Kingdom Army, which they occupied. And because of the shocking stories I heard at the meeting, I was making a serious face.

The king's order to the Marquis of Lobain was to take over the Kingdom of Luo, that is, to conquer the Kingdom of Luo. But that was an order that was already issued when the war broke out in the Acronian mountains. The command was slightly different.

It was to lead a fleet to the eastern shore of the Luo Kingdom and assist Prince Breton's army advancing towards the castle. The Rovanese Earl's forces invaded the northern part of the Luo Kingdom, dispersing their forces, and the plan was for the great army led by Prince Breton to overthrow the castle himself.

The intention of this plan was very clear.

It was to strengthen Prince Breton's current position by establishing a specialty and to provide a platform for him to push the power of the nobles into the future.

And the army of the late Rovanese meant they had to do something evil to establish Prince Breton's specialty.

But Lycaen and Caith were interpreting it a little differently.

“Pretty tough. ”

Caith nods loudly in Lycaen's words.

“Tough and deadly. ”

“I see. You've had a hard time anyway. ”

“Damn it!”

The two of them saw why the prince suddenly moved like this to dilute his specialty. If he moves himself to take over the Kingdom of Luo, his specialty seems relatively small in the mountainous areas of Acronia.

And the reason the prince wanted to keep Caith out of the way was because of Anness. Prince Breton was about to take Marquis Dovern's granddaughter, Annes Dovern, to be his wife, but Caith shut it down. However, we continue to try to deter Caith from abandoning the naivety.

Of course, it could have been to conquer the Kingdom of Luo sooner rather than later and make it his specialty. But Rikkien and Caith were pretty skeptical about it.

The reason was because Prince Breton couldn't make his specialty stand out.

Occupying the Acronian Mountains in Caith may seem relatively small due to Prince Breton's occupation of the castle, but vice versa.

In other words, Prince Breton was able to conquer the Kingdom of Luo because it could also be seen as occupying the Acronian Mountains.

I should have moved before occupying the Acronian Mountains. If so, the prince's movements would have embarrassed the Luo Kingdom troops and allowed for public opinion that he could occupy the Acronian Mountains.

So there's only one thing to think about.

It's the only thing that stands in the way of Caith.

“Hah ~ It's so hard to get married once! ”

Caith muttered with an unfair expression, expressing his accusation against Lycaen.

“You have to risk your life to win a beauty. Didn't you know that?”

In response, Caith nods loudly.

“Well, she sure is pretty. ”

And Likayen's expression changed strangely. As Caith spoke, I felt like I'd seen it a lot somewhere for some reason.

But Caith doesn't care about Lycaen's reaction and mumbles to himself.

“Anes, go quickly and get your pretty hands.... ”

The image of Keith staggering with a loving expression, as if he had been the protagonist of a tragic love story. The moment I saw that, I thought of someone in Lycaen's head.

Rudy!

Though immense, Rudyl Poldenwein's feelings emanated from Caith.

After realizing it, Lycaen shakes his head unwittingly and sighs for a long time.

There was a solution here, too! ’

Chapter 3. Pelon White Writing Workshop (1)

Six small and medium-sized kingdoms, one republic and a tribal coalition, defended one giant empire, while simultaneously aiming at each other as opposed to each other, were the historical archipelago of the Berith continent.

However, it did not take three months for the deterrence of the first of the seven pills to collapse.

The first place the balance was broken was in the west of the continent.

Once the empire that had been crouching for a long time started to move, its strength was literally like the Tidal Wave.

An empire that stretched its base by subduing the Blissen Tribe beyond the alwaystroubling North Fernande Mountains marched west as it did without regrouping its forces.

The invasion began immediately along the west coast of the continent to the north-eastern border of the Kingdom of Cheslonia, a long distance north and south.

The Kingdom of Cheslonia, which was struggling with the invasion of the northern empire, was placing all troops on the eastern front facing the Empire, thinking it might be their turn next. But he didn't care about the northernmost frontier of the Eastern Border, the border with the former Blissen Tribe.

He had no idea that the troops in that barren place would still come to him. And the slight atrocity stabbed him in the heart as he drew his scepter.

The unexpected raid was enough to embarrass the Kingdom of Cheslonia, and it was already occupied by the northern regions of the Kingdom when the Kingdom of Cheslonia was about to retaliate and recover its spirit.

And by the time the Kingdom of Cheslonia was ready to face the invaders of the north, a second faction on the mainland of the Empire had crossed the eastern border of the Kingdom of Cheslonia.

The horror of the crucible that alternates between the top and side. The kingdom of Cheslonia was unable to withstand unexpected strategies and quantitative aggression, and the dynasty eventually disappeared within a month.

This led to the ownership of the oceanic port, which he so longed for.

But the imperial appetite for conquest was too great to be filled with a single kingdom of Cheslonia.

The Southern forces, which were already preparing for the invasion of the Kingdom of Cheslonia, invaded the Republic of Morellia, and the Republic of Morellia, which was preparing for the invasion of the Kingdom of Kelben to the west, was unable to resist the unexpected attack once.

He had been in a friendly relationship for a long time and had never imagined that the empire that was taking over the Kingdom of Cheslonia would invade their country.

As a result, the western part of the continent was already completely at peace by the Empire. The Kelven Kingdom was in one piece, but it was because the Empire had not yet moved on. After conquering the Kingdom of Cheslonia and the Republic of Morellia at once, he was taking a break to finish it.

Meanwhile, the eastern continent was also undergoing debris. Maybe that's what everyone expected, and in a way, not at all unexpected.

It was the quest for the Kingdom of Bren.

In the eastern part of the continent were four small and medium-sized kingdoms. Along the east coast, the Kingdom of Staren, Brent and Luo, in turn, occupied one another, and the Kingdom of Delos long to the west of the three kingdoms.

Geographically speaking, the Kingdom of Bren was at its most disadvantageous. Bordered by the Kingdom of Stanen to the north, the Kingdom of Luo to the south and the Kingdom of Delos to the south. In other words, it was sandwiched between the three kingdoms.

Therefore, attacking either side poses a greater risk of being attacked or suppressed by the other kingdom.

The geographical weakness was the reason why the war did not extend to the mainland of the two countries, although it also had a major war with the Luo Kingdom in the south.

However, the Kingdom of Bren has dealt with such geographical disadvantages in a very simple and clear manner. Raising an enormous military force to control the three kingdoms simultaneously.

And the results were clear.

In the first two months of its reign, the Kingdom of Delos was captured, and the complete occupation of the mountainous region of Acronia, which had been at odds with the Kingdom of Luo for many years, was insufficient to defeat the Kingdom of Luo and to defeat the local forces that are currently on the verge of the final battle.

“Ah, damn it, if it wasn't for the prince, just..." ”

Caith frowns with a weary face. When Lycaen saw that, she shook her head.

“Tsk, if it's not just my friend, tsk! ”

At that point, Caith glanced at Lycaen with a fierce expression. Then he asks with a lot of unfair looks.

“What? ”

Lycaen raises his right-hand piece of paper and points to Caith.

“Let's say you, in your own words, are struggling to win your love. ”

“Well, but? ”

Lycaen's fingers point to him this time.

“Why am I being sold because of you? ”

“Hum, hum! ”

“Exhaustion……. ”

Caith looks at Lycaen's cold-eyed eyes and says with a piercing look.

Bren's assault was formidable. After a wave from the mountains of Acronia to the north and from the west coast, the Kingdom of Ruo fell without a single proper combat.

The Royal Army and territorial troops gathered in the capital and fought back, but it was a relief to stop the elite soldiers of the Brenn Kingdom who had been working with the reinforcements of the reincarnated Luo Kingdom for a long time.

In the end, the Royal Luo Army gave the capital to the enemy. The king tried to sneak out of the capital through a secret passageway with the princes and princesses, but eventually returned to failure.
