Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Duke Lovane, lead all forces and take down the rebels at once! ”

With one knee flat on the ground, the Duke of Robyn waits.

Duke Robyn, who was looking at the atmosphere for a moment, said.

“The lords are on the move to subdue rebels from all over the country, and the royal army is also preparing to march. ”

At the very least, the king loosened his stiff-looking face as the provincial lords were fighting the rebels. It didn't make me feel better.

“Make your way, now! ”

“I take my orders from the king! ”

Duke Robyn, who lowers his head, replies with a firm expression.

‘Earl Frocus, you……! ’

The situation has gone according to Riyaen's plan.

The lords of the Circus within Bren Kingdom, who were initially attacked by surprise, were weakened by the death of quite a number of their lords, but did not give up. It was because I knew the power of the organization called Circus.

For this reason, Earl Eigen had assembled his troops. After Earl Eigen suddenly disappeared during the Conquest War, he was assigned to the throne of the king and occupied it.

It was a fair choice for the rebels in Circus. Earl Eigen used to be so powerful, there were fertile lands and abundant resources in the territory. To solve this differently, it also meant that there were large quantities of supplies stored in the castle. In addition, turning to Lord Xu Xian, the supplies of the surrounding territories were also crowded here, which closed the door and had very suitable conditions for agriculture.

To add one more reason to this, it was also an advantageous part for them that the location of the ISEN backwriting was a high area and a cliff on the other side, suitable for defense.

With Rudia's swift judgment over the affairs of Bren Kingdom, the rebels of Circus are able to settle down with ease.

Lycaen assembled as Earl Eigen with a force of Earl Poldenbine and the Emperor, followed by a fierce workshop from the beginning.

The rebels of Circus were fierce. I was prepared to die and defend the castle. It was because there was hope that Bermurk would lead the Imperial forces within a full day.

It was a strenuous battle every day. The day begins with the sound of the drums of the advancing troops, and the day ends with the sound of retreating drums.

Countless soldiers are dying, and the walls are already stained red with blood. Bodies that have not been removed have rotted beyond the walls, and inside the walls are moaning over the plunder of the Circus Rebels.

By the end of the full moon, the atmosphere of the Circus Rebellion has changed.

I was tired from the ongoing battle, but I didn't see any sign of Bermurk's legions arriving no later than one full day.

Vermook led the rebels to the only rope they could hang because they already knew how frightening Lycaen's forces were to be led by the Conquest War. The hope that he was holding was becoming a heavy burden because he did not see that hope coming.

This is bad!

Late-night conference rooms. Rudia glances at the faces of the monarchs gathered in a serious manner. Sitting with a face full of misery, I was so exhausted just watching.

“Don't give up hope, all of you. If the Master brings the Legion, all problems will be solved. Wait until then.”

I didn't really like the look on Rudia's face saying that. It was because she had already started saying this for three days.

A lord cautiously asked.

“Where is Vermook now? ”

Though he speaks carefully, his face is full of doubts.

It's been a full day since I heard that Fort Derondes has fallen. I've heard that the fortress is late because of the collapse, but now should be enough time to solve the problem.

There is no reason to be late in the Kingdom of Bren when there are no other forces to stop the Imperial forces carrying Vermook.

Rudia stares at the lord with threatening eyes. However, I tried to suppress my heart and said as if I were relieved.

“Tomorrow, you will pass through Seronen Fortress. ”

Suddenly, the smoke circulated in the meeting room, which was sinking so deeply that she was offended by what she said. The distance between Earl Eisen in the eastern part of the Old Bren Kingdom and the Eastern Gateway, Fort Seronen, is not far. If you cross that fortress, the cavalry will arrive within days.

Of course, Rudia's words were lies. Bermurk is still in pursuit of the Emperor. Fortunately, the Imperial troops stationed near Derondes Fortress left yesterday. First, it was in the judgment that if they came alone, the situation would change.

But Rudia's thoughts were skeptical.

Riccianne Prokers! ’

Since the day she started her workshop on the Eigen White Writing, Rudia has been feeling strange. The point was that Ricaien's attack was not more aggressive than he expected. It felt like a very formal siege.

This was not the battle Lydia had heard about and experienced in person. It was his style of combat that maximized efficiency while not wasting time. When it was time to strike properly, the image of him retreating without foolishness did not fit with Riyaen at all.

What are you after? ’

There was no assault while pulling the full moon. If you rip them apart, they look like they don't intend to fight properly.

Rudia shakes her head slowly, considering for a long time. It was clear that something was hiding intent, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

In the end, there was only one thing she could choose.

We have to hold on for now! ’

“Isn't it about time? ”

Caith nods at Lycaen's words.

“Now that you've done this, you'd better finish something. ”

Earl Faventus, commander of the Imperial Army, and Earl Poldenbine, who leads the lords of the Brent Kingdom, also nods slowly.

It was the 20th day since the Eigen White Paper Workshop began.

It was because we could see that the status of the Circus rebels who were carrying out agricultural activities in the castle had accumulated to a noticeable degree of fatigue even from this side.

Lycaen asks for the three men standing behind her.

“Do you have anything in mind? ”

But there is no other answer. To be precise, I didn't need to think about special tactics. It was a relatively difficult siege, but it was too advantageous over here.

The enemy is extremely tired from the anxiety of not knowing when the castle will be breached and the news of an army that does not wait, whereas the Rigoin side has been moderately repeating and controlling its forces for the past 20 days.

Then Fabentus adds an explanation.

“There is no Vermuq, but an Imperial army led by Duke Sepiteron passed through Seronen Fortress yesterday. They'll be here tomorrow, so I think we should finish that castle today. If I don't have the time to get a collaboration from the front and from the back, the good things that have been done so far can turn upside down. ”

Likayen knew that, too. 150,000 Imperial troops are rushing here right now. All the forces that Circus has captured to swallow the Empire. Almost all the Imperial troops were able to come this way because the people Vermook had taken to pursue the Emperor were assassins belonging to Circus.

Knowing this, Faventus looks a little anxious. No matter how favorable the situation was, he knew that the troops and the troops in the Eigen White Paper could not guarantee the outcome if they cooperated.

Lycaen nods and looks at Earl Poldenbine.

“Tonight, I'm going to use it. ”

Earl Poldenbine smiled and said.

“Are we finally moving? It's been hard. ”

“You didn't have to wait this long, did you? ”

“That's right."

Faventus tilts his head as he hears them speak.

“Is there anything good you can do? ”

“Of course. We haven't wasted any time, have we? ”

“How do I do that? ”

“You'll see that by tonight. ”

Beep, beep, beep!

A sudden high flute sounded throughout the night.

“What's going on? ”

Suddenly, Rudia wakes up and watches outside, shouting in a desperate voice.

“Ambush!”

“Suck!”

The moment I heard that, Rudia's expression hardened. It is clear that a midnight raid is a sudden and stressful thing, but it is also common during war. That's why we strengthen and protect our vigilance at night.

But there was another reason for Lydia's serious expression.

Why are you here now? ’

After 20 days of workshops, the enemy never attacked in the middle of the night. In case you're trying to be cautious, Rudia cares more about the night's boundaries, and that condition has still been going on.

Though the army that was coming soon did not arrive and was in a state of psychological and physical fatigue, it was not enough to be alarmed by this surprise.

This means that even if we ambush them like this, they will not have much effect compared to what we tried. And Lydia knew Lydia was not foolish enough to know that.

Then, there is another side to this raid.

What the hell is that? ’

The thought of messing with my head made Rudia look unnoticed and annoyed.

But now was not the time to think about it. If this raid is not the formal attack that has been shown thus far, the castle could be in danger without the effect of the raid.
