Zero no ambassador: my harem

"Didn't you hear? I say kill them all, do it quickly."

Hearing the words of the Red Fierce Tiger's command, the surrendering soldiers who had dropped their weapons, in grief, pain, regret, and begging for mercy, struck at the 1,000 soldiers who were watching over them.

"Kill!!!" The Red Army commander approached and slashed a Kelvanian surrender that had struck the line.

His men followed suit, pulling out their long swords and spears and aiming them at the surrendered prisoners who had laid down their weapons.

It was a massacre, over five thousand downed Kelmanian soldiers were slaughtered like pigs like sheep. The bloody spectacle made the hundreds of soldiers who did it vomit.

Counting the remaining troops, the Red Tigers had 6,000 left and the border guards had about 7,500 left.

After a discussion between the Red Fierce Tiger and the border guard commander, the border guard commander led the remaining border guards to stay behind, and after the Red Fierce Tiger rested, he pounced towards [Jacques] City with the remaining Red Fierce Tiger army.

Chapter 45 - All the way to the South

After another half day, the Red Tigers army arrived outside of [Yak] city from [Dick] city. There were numerous uncollected corpses of the Goliath army outside of [Yak] city, stretching all the way to six or seven kilometers outside of the city. There was also no sight of the Pale Blue Army that was supposed to be here along the way, which made the Red Army commander feel apprehensive.

At this time, there were only 1,000 Kelmanian border guards remaining in the city of [Jacques]. After defeating the Goliath army yesterday, early this morning, Nirent brought nearly 70,000 soldiers to [Hank] City.

However, the Red Army commanded unaware that there were no friendly troops, just 6,000 soldiers. There were already around 15,000 friendly corpses outside the city. The commander of the Red Army did not dare to go on, but stopped his troops five kilometers outside the city to observe the situation inside the city. On the other hand, he wrote a letter to inform the friendly troops about the situation here and discussed how to deal with it.

On the other hand, the 70,000 troops led by Nirent, who had left in the morning, arrived at [Hank] at noon. The first day in [Hank] city there were 20,000 of the original 20,000 and the 20,000 of the original [Jacques] city garrison that had arrived, and with Nirent's 70,000, 110,000 troops were gathered in one city.

Nirent rested slightly at noon, leaving behind 10,000 Yanlong troops and 20,000 border guards, with his own lieutenant general as the commander, to stay behind in the city of [Hank]. He, on the other hand, brought the remaining 80,000 troops straight to [Hans] City.

Around 4pm, [Hanse] City.

80,000 troops, densely packed from the plains. The 10,000 border guards in [Hans] City were ashen. Although the side attacking the city was at a disadvantage to the side defending it, but with the huge 8:1 advantage in force, even a king could easily take it down.

Nirent took the [Hans] city's defenders into account with 20,000, which was also a sufficient advantage of 4:1. 80,000 troops pounced on the small reef of Hans like a tidal wave and quickly overwhelmed it.

The 10,000 defenders inside the city put up a token resistance for a while, 3,000 people died and the remaining nearly 7,000 chose to surrender.

Nirent frowned at the 7,000 captives, hesitating between killing or not.

Some of his men suggested confiscating their weapons and armor, driving them through the eastern part of Goliath and routing the local garrison's will to fight. Nirent, after thinking it over, nodded his head and agreed.

Goria - Kelmania War, the next night, Nirent bathed in the city of [Hanse].

On the third day, Nirent left behind 10,000 Yanlong army 10,000 border guards, commanded by another lieutenant general, stationed at [Hanse] city. Along with the 30,000 troops stationed at [Hank] city, they guarded the lifeline of the Kelmanian army's attack and retreat. And Nirent led the remaining 60,000 troops to cross over the [Hanse] city and head straight for the interior of Goliath.

Golia's four main legions were originally evenly distributed throughout the kingdom, but after declaring war with Torristine, they were frequently mobilized, but now there was no army to stop the 60,000 Kelmanian troops that penetrated deep into Golia's borders. As for Goliath's 50,000 troops scattered in the area to maintain law and order, it's less than 20,000 in the east, also distributed in various cities and villages, facing the imposing 60,000 troops naturally wouldn't dare to stop them. And the Kelmanian army did not plunder the cities and villages of Goliath, and went south.

It was already the second day when King Joseph of Goliath received the news of the invasion of Kelmania; Joseph's reply letter asked the three generals stationed in the city to work together to stop the enemy outside the border of the country; it was already the third day when the letter arrived in [Dis] city, and the war situation had already changed many times; it was already the afternoon of the fourth day when Joseph saw the letters of support from the eastern cities and villages; on the morning of the fifth day, Joseph personally led the 50,000 Earth Bear legions from the royal capital and moved eastward to annihilate the Red Inferno Army that had penetrated deep into the border of the country.

A brief mention of the poor timeliness of the flow of information between the Goliath capital and the front lines, and then back here in Nirent.

The 30,000 Inferno Army and 30,000 border guards, led by Nirent, marched briskly and after two days and nights of trekking, crossed the land of Goria and reached the Goria-Romania border on the afternoon of the fourth day.

Romania is located southeast of Goria, with only fifty kilometers of adjacent country to the east of Goria. Think an acute triangle facing downward, with the sea on three sides, developed the continent's only navy, the Water Capital Guard.

Goria defended Romania and established only one sea-facing port city [Tilos] at the northwestern tip of Romanian territory where it intersected with Goria. The 20,000 men of the Water Demon Singing Army, one of the 4 main battle armies of Goliath, were stationed in [Tilos].

The Yanlong Army had opened up a route from Kelmania to Romania, and naturally entered Romania from the northeastern tip of the Romanian territory. The leader of the Water Demon Singing Legion in [Tilos] was ordered to defend Romania, but he took a wait-and-see attitude towards the Kelmanian army that entered the territory of Goliath, and the Kelmanian army was no more than forty kilometers away from each other, but they were fine.

Romania, a religious country that had been a sitting duck during the Torristine-Albion and Goliath-Cermania wars, was not involved in the fighting. On the afternoon of the fourth day of the Goria-Cermania War, it was drawn into the fighting because of the will of the Emperor of Cermania.

Nirent arrived at the Goliath-Romanian border and, with a bang, brazenly crossed the border into undeclared war against Romania.60,000 troops, easily overrunning several small cities on the Romanian border, Nirent stopped his troops to rest in the cities.

On the other hand, Romania got the news that it was being attacked, much to the surprise of the Pope and the Cardinals. Wasn't Kelmania fighting at the border in Goliad? How did it hit us?

The Pope went back to his bedchamber first, and confirmed with the [Round Mirror of the Patriarchs] that Nerent had led 60,000 troops to halt in the northern Romanian city. The Pope, trembling with anger, immediately wrote a letter to the diplomats of the various countries stationed there, severely condemning the shamelessness of Kelmania's undeclared war and the unjust injustice of attacking Romania, calling on the followers of the Patriarchs throughout the continent to protest against this act and block this barbarian emperor's invasion of the country that believed in the Patriarchs.

If the invaders could be repulsed by moving their lips, Torristine would not have had to work so hard. The pope finished his letter and returned to the papal chamber to discuss with the seven cardinals what to do about the invasion of Kelmania.

The seven cardinals talked and talked, but in the end they were united in their opinion, which was to take back all the troops and defend the water capital where the papal palace was, to protect them and the pope. Their thinking was that if they held the [Capital of Water] and delayed some time, Goliath would not sit by and watch Kelmania penetrate the border and attack Romania, and would definitely make a move to drive Kelmania out.

The Pope had no other choice, agreed with the cardinals, and recalled the country's 20,000 Protectorate Knights, 10,000 Water Capital Guard, and concentrated on the [Water Capital] to prepare to resist the invasion of Kelmania's army.

Chapter 46 - Reinforcements Coming North

Goliath - On the night of the first day of the Kelmanian War, Osman and Alice, who had arrived from the northern border of Torristine, arrived in the capital of Torristine. This time Alice is greeted with a more warm welcome, last time she came to contest Torristine, but this time with an army to rescue him.

Osman was also met by Anrietta, who introduced him to Tiffania, Tabatha, and other girls. Osman didn't comment on having these girls hold important positions, but secretly he was wary of Hao Tian. Naturally, he could see that these girls were somewhat connected to Hao Tian, and if Hao Tian harbored disobedience, he was afraid that the king's capital could change overnight.

The 10,000 border guards brought by Osman, 15,000 Albion troops, and 30,000 legions directly under the crown prince brought by Alice were stationed outside the city, not far from each other, and also meant to monitor Alice's 30,000 troops with 25,000 troops. After all, let other countries 30,000 troops near the royal capital, in case Alice wanted to change her mind, it would be dangerous.

But at the banquet welcoming Alice and her party, Alice and Anrietta were talking happily and seemed to be overthinking it. The atmosphere of the banquet was quite relaxed and pleasant, and Alice didn't offer to compete with Hao Tian or anything.

After the banquet, Anrietta invited Alice to the Lakshin Pavilion for a chat.

The other soldiers were dismissed, leaving only Anrietta and Alice two women in the Pavilion.

Anrietta begins by expressing her gratitude for Alice's leadership in coming to her aid, and then discusses with Alice when to join forces and drive out the Goliath army south of Torristine.

Iris asks questions about the state of the war in southern Torristine today. Kelmania also had its own intelligence agencies, but ultimately not as accurate as the information obtained from Torristine proper.

Anrietta had no doubts and told Alice truthfully about the situation in the south.

"Yes? The southern defensive line [Tot] city was occupied, the available armies were wiped out, and there was no army left to stop Goliath's army. Why doesn't Goliath's army go along to the north?"

Anrietta: "Not sure, but there's a Pale Blue Eagle regiment stirring on the Goliath border, and signs of local army mobilization. Probably the advance guard is undermanned and is waiting for Goliath to increase its forces."

"Yeah." Alice nodded, her purpose of coming here was to use Torristine to hold Goliath's forces in check, and it was naturally good that she could get Goliath to put more into the Torristine battlefield.

"In that case, it's not too late, we'll rest for half a day tomorrow afternoon and then we'll be ready to deploy."

"There's actually no need to be in such a hurry." Anrietta was a little surprised, Alice seemed more enthusiastic than her.

"No. Soldiers are in a hurry. If we go south a day late, perhaps the Goliath army will have already moved to annex southern Torristine." Ellis insisted on going south earlier to support.

"Well then, I'll consult with my ministers."

Anrietta hurriedly left the Lakewood Pavilion and summoned six people in the palace hall, including Hao Tian, Osman, Lady Carina, Tiffania, Furkai, and the Supreme Court President of Nils. The ministers had already arrived except for Gramont, who was still on his way back from the south.

"Princess Iris wishes to come south tomorrow to support us. May I ask your opinion?" Anrietta went straight to the point.

"I approve." Carina said bluntly. Duke Valier's life and death were unknown, and while she was calm on the surface, she was anxious on the inside.

Othman stroked his beard. "In fact, the situation in the south is already so bad that one day sooner or later won't change anything, so it's better to let these troops rest and recuperate well and fight south in the best condition."

Tifa and Fouquet were all newcomers, and Nils was even more of Anrietta's follower with no opinions. Lady Karina and Osman disagreed with each other, and the others bet their eyes on Hao Tian.

Especially Carina and Osman's eyes were the sharpest.

Hao Tian was under a lot of pressure, suddenly smiled, and spoke when the others didn't understand.

"If you were in command of Goliath's advance army, what would you want Torristine to do?"
