Chapter 139 – Yuno-Kun’s Rapid Attack (3) *Yuria’s Mother’s Live-Action Illustration

Yuno’s rapid advance (3)

Let’s go back in time and ten days later, Prinz’s army was victorious over Henry’s army on the Eastern Front. The news of the crushing defeat of Heinrich’s army and the cleanly washed body of Count Kashu, along with the surrender recommendation document sent by Prinz and Juno, were delivered through space travel to the capital Adria.

The 1st, 3rd, and 4th corps surrendered without much resistance, and since Mayer completely surrounded the retreating capital corps and not a single soldier succeeded in escaping, they only received news of the corps’ defeat through Prinz’s recommendation to surrender. I was able to hear.

Of course, the ministers were somewhat aware of the defeat due to communication being cut off for 10 days, but they never thought they would be defeated so horribly, and the surrender of three corps was such an enormous event that they had a hard time figuring out how to overcome it. Came.

Naturally, a cabinet meeting, which also served as a countermeasures meeting, was convened, but the ministers were unable to say anything.

First, not only was there no solution, but Heinrich was rampaging around with his sword drawn in the cabinet hall.

“These incompetent bastards!! They are completely incompetent!! Does it make sense for the commander-in-chief to surrender? In the history of the Balkans, there has never been a commander-in-chief who surrendered to the enemy!! Let’s destroy that damn family immediately!!”

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty. Baron Derian is an orphan and has no family. Moreover, he is not married yet, so his wife’s family…”

“What? Who was it that recommended Derian as commander-in-chief?” Why did you recommend a man who is not trustworthy as commander-in-chief?”

All the nobles fell in fear at Heinrich’s anger.

The responsibility for this defeat was that he would have nothing to say even if the commander-in-chief’s head was blown off, and because of Henry’s personality, he was ready to destroy even the three families of the person who recommended him, so it seemed like if he even said a word, his head would be blown off right away.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you saying I just picked one of you if no one recommended him? Then I guess I can choose any one of you and cut off his head.”

A nobleman gathered courage and stood up in response to Heinrich’s sad spirit.

“Oh my God… Your Majesty. Please forgive me.”

He was Count Belma, one of the nobles who stood neutral during the Plain of Zenon. He was a person who put personality aside and looked at people based on ability, so he thought that Henry, who defeated Prinz, was worthy of the throne of the emperor, so he followed Henry from then on.

And since Derian also thought that he had that ability, he recommended him and when he came back from the victory, he used his recommendation as an excuse to lure him into his faction.

However, at this very moment, it was Count Velma who was shedding bloody tears inside and regretting her decision to focus on her abilities.

“Oh, that’s right. It was Sir. Is there a reason you recommended Derian? Did you take a bribe or something? Huh?”

“He was a man of great standing who rose from a mere soldier to a corps commander… I recommended him to you. Your Majesty… Your Majesty was so fond of him that he even gave you a promotion, saying that such talented people were rotting at the time…”

Squeak

However, before he could finish his words, Count Belmar fell to the ground with his head cut off, and Henry kicked Count Belmar’s body down and ordered it to be removed from the place.

“Then the emperor doesn’t listen to the evaluations of the corps commanders through your own mouths, but does it seem like he should find out for himself? If he made a recommendation with such a rotten attitude, he would have been quietly punished, but he is making ugly excuses…”

When the head of a nobleman was seen being blown off in the State Council Hall again, the palace fell into silence.

“Okay. What should I do about this difficult situation? If anyone has an idea, please speak up.”

Heinrich pressed for an opinion, but the nobles, who had witnessed their heads being blown off right in front of their eyes for making a mistake in recommending a person, had no way of expressing an opinion, and Heinrich exploded with anger again.

In that atmosphere, Chancellor Marquis Dietrich smiled and opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty. God has thought of a way.”

“Oh!! Prime Minister! You are the only one I have. You can’t even be compared to scum like me. So what is the solution?”

“First… Citizens who have served in the imperial army are forcibly conscripted to form a corps.”

“But… Even if that were the case, wouldn’t there be too few troops? Besides, compared to active duty, combat power would be seriously lowered, wouldn’t it?”

“That’s right. But we will make their spouses serve along with them, and if they have children, we will hold them hostage. Then, the women will be able to stab people with spears, so the troops will be strengthened, and they will fight desperately to protect their children. The combat power will be no less than that of active-duty legionnaires.”

“Hmm, then the military will be resolved… As the Prime Minister knows, we are currently severely lacking in advanced forces. There are three masters over there, including Liechtenauer and Yunonom. Moreover, this time we have the Magic Tower Master, Viscount Amin, We’ve lost three people, including Count Kashu, and now only Captain Speyer is left.”

“That’s also something I’ve been thinking about.”

The Marquis Dietrich announced what he thought, and opposition from all the other nobles poured out due to his ridiculous remarks, but Henry once again took the lead in cutting off the head of a nobleman who opposed his opinion and praised the Marquis Dietrich.〈 Br〉

Haha, of course it’s the chancellor!! The only person who thinks about this Vulcan and Henry’s future is the chancellor. On the other hand, those scumbags are really no help. What do the guards do? Take those scumbags out right away. Chase him!! Don’t let him set foot in this palace again!!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!!”

The nobles were driven out of the palace by the guards under orders from Heinrich.

From then on, only the Marquis Dietrich and the officials who had followed him since the time of Prince Lee entered the cabinet meeting to discuss state affairs.

Naturally, the state affairs were in disarray, and among the expelled nobles, one by one, those who were worried about the future of the Balkans and switched to the camp of Prinz and Juno began to appear.

While the capital Adria was in disarray due to the manipulation of state affairs by Chancellor Dietrich and his associates, Prinz and Juno were preparing their army to advance to Adria from the Eastern Front.

“Viscount Leverkin. How have the supplies been prepared? The number of troops has suddenly increased by 30,000, so there is no way there won’t be a problem with supply.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. The preparations are perfect. The seeds Hyria sent can be grown even in fields that have finished the harvest season. Moreover, they can be harvested until next year’s planting season, so it is truly an innovative crop.” Thanks to this, it was easy to purchase a lot of food from farmers.”

“Hmm~ Viscount Leverkin. Still, stock up on more food.”

Viscount Leverkin tilted his head at Juno’s command.

“Huh? Even now, we have prepared four months’ worth. With the stamina of our army trained by Your Majesty, it is certain that we will be able to travel to Adria in about 40 days. That is also a schedule assuming that we will fight some small-scale battles, and if we are defeated, we will return here. We also took into consideration traveling to the eastern part of the country, but what about here?”

“Yes. I know that you have worked hard to prepare. But we are not going to occupy another country. Currently, the empire is suffering from an extreme food shortage, and there are many refugees. Wouldn’t we encounter them on the way to Adriatic? If so, they must also consider the fact that we have to go while providing charity.”

At Juno’s words, not only Viscount Leverkin but also other staff members looked at Juno with respect.

And Prinz was watching that with a satisfied face.

‘Okay. Yuno, you are doing well. If you continue in this state, no one will oppose you when you take the throne as emperor.’

Yuno decided on the route of advance by listening to the opinions of his staff, not only in terms of his troops, but also in other military aspects. With the addition of the opinions of the corps commanders who had surrendered, the advance plan became more and more perfect.

In addition, Yuno won the hearts of the legionnaires by participating in their training during the day when he was not training Jennifer.

After resting the surrendered legionnaires for a few days, the Prinz army was treated as harshly as when first training, but since they were basically active imperial troops, they were able to quickly adapt to Yuno’s rigorous training, and Yuno said that the legionnaires’ stamina had improved to some extent. When he thought about it, he held a sports competition including Prinz-kun and won the hearts of each winner by giving them various rewards and a banquet.

As some time passed, the Prinz army and the legionnaires were able to unite around Yuno.

And a few days later, Prinz’s army and the 1st, 3rd, and 4th corps surrendered to Yuno and followed him. And a large army of 40,000 men, including the Tesida Nikana army directly under Yuno, dispatched troops towards Adria, the capital of the Balkans.

Juno’s army advanced into Adria, meeting almost no resistance and winning the hearts of the people by rescuing countless citizens of the empire.

Some lords who shuddered at Henry’s tyranny in the Council of State actively cooperated through agents in their territories, and some even led their own troops to join Juno’s army.

Of course, some lords loyal to Henry waged a guerrilla war aimed at supplying Juno’s army, but since the public sentiment was already completely on Juno’s side, information on the location of Henry’s army was constantly reported to Juno.

Since there was no army that was as easy to attack as the guerrilla army, which lost public support and did not receive the cooperation of the residents, Yuno’s army advanced very easily and succeeded in advancing to the vicinity of the capital Adriatic in one month, ten days faster than expected.
