Chapter 951 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (9)
Due to tactics.
A tactic that overwhelms the enemy by injecting a large number of troops rather than using superior weapons.
A strategy that uses numerical superiority.
In the early stages of the war, the Geos Empire succeeded in defending against the invasion of the Empire using man-made tactics.
But was it too soon?
The Empire put its sword in earnest on the Geos Empire, which was not paying attention.
The tactic of pouring troops into the battlefield to prevent recapture of the castle was shattered by the efforts of the genius knights and magicians of the empire.
In the meantime, the Geos Empire was able to defend the castle because the Empire divided its troops into three and attacked each.
However, it was a situation where they could not stand it at all when they used the tactic of forcing all the main forces into one place and forcibly breaking through.
The Geos Empire is defeated.
The castle, which had tolerated numerous damages and stood firm, was easily penetrated to the point of futility.
⁘ ⁘ ⁘
The battle between empires was something that neighboring countries were watching closely.
Who is most likely to win the war, how much of the aftermath will be spread around when two countries go to war, what attitude should a country take in a war between two countries, and so on.
In the rapidly changing international situation, neighboring countries watched the war with bated breath.
“I knew the Empire was developing rapidly… But isn’t this too threatening?”
Other nations were horrified by the fall of the Geos Empire so hopelessly and developed a fear of the Empire.
Other nations were hoping that war between empires and empires would eat them away.
“I hope the two of you fight like that and then destroy yourself!”
“War. In today’s world, it’s barbaric…”
“Was the empire great enough to wage war against the Geos Empire?”
But when I opened the lid, wasn’t the Empire unilaterally beating the Geos Empire?
With this war, the fact that the Empire is a country strong enough to surpass the wildness of the Geos Empire spread throughout the world.
Of course, other countries did not welcome the appearance of another great power.
“How can we beat the Geos Empire?
And on the one hand, there were many who speculated that the war would still be won by the Geos Empire.
He knew the internal circumstances of the Geos Empire, but it was because of the years that Geos had enjoyed as a great power.
However…
“Huh? You’re going to lose this?”
“Why the hell are they doing this?”
“Huh? Give me here too?! This place is a bit harsh, isn’t it?”
The Geos Empire, who thought it would enjoy the status of a great power forever, began to be beaten.
And that too, with a very unusual intensity.
“Aren’t they going to ruin?”
“What will happen if the Empire eats the Geos Empire?”
“What’s going on?”
The appearance of a great power beyond the Geos Empire.
When a powerful country coughs, neighboring countries agh! I have to suffer like being swept away by a typhoon.
It was sure to be such a terrible situation.
“What should I do? Should I stick to the Empire now?”
“Isn’t it supposed to support the Geos Empire instead of sticking to the Empire?”
While neighboring countries are at a loss as to what to do.
Emperor Geos made a big decision.
To repel the invasion of the Empire even by giving half of the country to the temple.
That was the choice of Emperor Geos.
Of course, it wasn’t easy for Emperor Geos to make this choice.
Giving up half of the country meant giving up the nobility as well.
“Emperor Geos sold the country out of fear of the empire!”
“This is a fraudulent treaty!!! None of the nobles agreed to that treaty!!!”
Because of the nobles frothing and shouting opposition, the emperor secretly interacted with the temple and obtained their cooperation.
It was an unequal treaty that sold the country, but joining hands with the temple was nothing short of a divine move for the Geos Empire.
It was the first moment to block the advance of the Empire.
⁘ ⁘ ⁘
It was so easy to go from victory to victory in war.
I didn’t think it would be this serious no matter how good the taste was, but I was defeated because I was so easily frightened for what they were thinking.
So is it?
‘Is it starting soon?’
Our aristocrats, who had been closely guarded, began to let their guard down.
I know that I can’t help but become arrogant because I win this way and that way.
However, it was a bit disgusting to see not one or two aristocrats condescendingly claiming that it was all thanks to them that they won the war.
And the counterattack of the Geos Empire began around that time.
The Geos Empire, which has a large population and is so large that the land is disgusting, began to push us frantically as if it had been hiding its power.
And at the same time, the public opinion war began.
“It seems that they are asking for help from neighboring countries.”
“You thought you couldn’t beat us on your own.”
“However, to accuse His Majesty of being a demon contractor. It is absurd.”
“Since we joined hands with the Geos Empire in the temple, there shouldn’t be any damage on our side, but how is it going?”
“All the priests who have been dispatched are refusing treatment.”
“Those fanatics… Worshiping gods, people are dying, but they didn’t blink an eye.”
The war without the cooperation of the temple made us feel a lot of pressure.
It wasn’t that the temple didn’t give away a lot of troops, but just not cooperating with us was enough to put a brake on the war that was winning all the time.
“Other countries aren’t stupid, so you’re well aware that they’re forcibly blaming them.”
“I don’t know what the hell the temple decided to accept and eat to such an extent that it sided with the Geos Empire.”
“Has the information not come yet?”
He needed information about what was going on inside the Geos Empire.
And when I hurriedly moved the spy to find out the situation, I could see why the temple came out like that.
“Emperor Geos sold the country.”
“Thanks to that, the nobles are said to have turned upside down.”
“It’s a matter of offering one’s own rice bowl to the temple, so of course.”
“Why did the temple take a justification for driving your Majesty to be a demon contractor and stand on the side of the Geos Empire and do that… If this is enough, it’s understandable.”
“They’re bastard thieves. Isn’t it a situation where we do the tricks and the temple guys take all the delicious things?”
Our aristocrats were angry at the temple’s actions, but admitted that they couldn’t help it if they had received such an advantage.
“It’s pissing off, but Emperor Geos has put his head to good use.”
“It will be a fatal blow for us.”
It was embarrassing not to be able to get help from the temple, but it was also embarrassing for the Geos Empire to join forces with neighboring countries.
“Now I have a feeling that the real war is about to begin.”
It was a moment when dark clouds hung over the future of the Empire, which was pushing the Geos Empire at full speed.
In a situation where the nobles were sullen and the morale of the soldiers was plummeting, the emperor of the empire was in trouble.
“If you look at the end of the story, is this the ‘before’ part?”
The ‘period’ that will happen when the war begins
The war began in earnest and ‘Seung’ was won
‘Before’, when conflicts and tensions reach their peak
Now that the crisis of war has finally come, all that remains is to organize the ending clearly.
However, the crisis came much stronger than I thought.
“The Geos Empire is said to have contacted the Tanpao Kingdom.”
To be precise, as the temple entered the war and our empire was shaken, a guy came out who quickly set a course.
“From the standpoint of the neighboring countries, it is much more beneficial for the Geos Empire to win. Right now, only the Kingdom of Tanpao has joined, but there is a high probability that other kingdoms will agree.”
If we defeat the Geos Empire, we will have a superpower that is too powerful.
On the other hand, if the Geos Empire wins, half of the country is ripped off by the temple, so it can no longer demonstrate its former power.
Moreover, if you make an alliance, will you do it with your mouth?
The Geos Empire was selling the future and pouring it into the present war.
The neighboring countries must have found such a Geos Empire very tasty.
And our guesses became a reality.
“It seems that our empire is gradually becoming an axis of evil.”
The nobles seemed to be restless as if they felt a sense of crisis.
The temple pressured us with a public opinion war, and the neighboring countries were sending reinforcements to the Geos Empire.
As those who came from other countries joined, the system gradually began to change, and the game of war began to change.
“What should I do? If I stay still like this, I might really lose!”
“I never thought the temple would come out in such a dirty way..”
“The morale of the soldiers is also not good.
The news that the emperor of the empire made a pact with the devil.
That was what caused the morale of the soldiers to drop.
This situation was very embarrassing because I did not expect to be pushed this far in the war.
“It seems like the moment has come for Jim to step in.”
“Your majesty…”
The nobles were sullen as problems continued to arise that they could not solve.
Seeing them come running and cry, asking what to do, I felt sorry for them, and I also wanted to set an example for the countries around us who were harassing our children for no reason.
“I have to start by showing how ridiculous the temple said that Jim’s power was obtained through a contract with the devil.”
“Do you have any method?”
The servants who heard my words looked at me with expressions full of anticipation.
“Everyone bets on the Geos Empire because our Empire looks easy.”
It was just a matter of showing that we were never complacent.
And I had the fraudulent power to reverse the victory on the battlefield.
It’s so cheesy, I tried not to use it as much as possible…
‘I can’t stay still when it comes out like this. If possible, I tried to let the people on this side go to war on their own, but… Isn’t that the first to be mean?’
If you stay still, you might become a demon contractor.
‘That wasn’t in my plan.’
It was one of the conceivable scenarios for the Geos Empire to stand up to our Empire with the help of other nations.
‘I thought the war with the Geos Empire would be prolonged with that. But it’s against the law to include the temple.’
I didn’t expect that they would attract the temple.
This is my mistake
It is also because the temple joined the wind, and the neighboring countries too easily decided to ally with the Geos Empire.
“Whether it’s a temple, or a sneaky other nation trying to profit from meddling in our war, you’ll all regret it.”
