Chapter 31 – The Situation Is Becoming Unfavorable
The situation is becoming unfavorable
Juno gradually took control of the western part of the County of Streve. Most of the military lords surrendered without much resistance, but there were some fiefdoms like Baron Krais that resisted to the end, so it was not all smooth sailing.
Juno, who was looking at a tactical map and holding a meeting with his officers, was reviewing the opinion of a centurion commander that since the western part of the Streb territory had been conquered, he should disperse only two thousand men as guards and join the 1st Army that was struggling at the Sreb Fortress.
At that time, Yuno’s face lit up when a report came in that magic communication had arrived at the Legion headquarters.
“Are you Brother Prinz?”
“Ah… No. This is Prince Kent Windrage, commander of the 11th Corps.”
Juno was a little disappointed that it was not his brother’s communication that he had been expecting, but maintaining close communication with the 11th Corps and meeting the schedule were also important tasks, so he connected the communication.
“Uncle? Has the Barony of Kernet, which you said you would strike yesterday, been finalized?”
Haha, Your Highness the Prince! Who am I? The enemy in front of our 11th Corps has been completely destroyed. I have collected the heads of all the evil Tesseito lords, so I will definitely show you later! Haha,”
It may be because the 5,000-strong Windrage Army was so outstanding, but contrary to concerns, Kent seemed to be commanding the 11th Corps well. Unlike Yuno, he allowed one day to pillage every territory he occupied, so although his advance was slower than Yuno’s, he could not be blamed for it because he proceeded according to custom.
Haha… It’s okay. I’ll just accept your wishes. Then, everything is fine today, right? In that case, we’ll form a scouting party, set up security on the western front, prepare a beacon, and then join the 1st Army. The 11th Corps does the same. How do you feel?”
“Yes, I understand. However, we still have one territory left to clean up, so we will clean up that place and move on as instructed by His Highness the Prince.”
“I understand, uncle. I will say it again, if enemy reinforcements appear or any variables arise, you must report this to me or His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Yes, don’t worry. Oh, and is it true that there were some cheeky guys in the 10th Legion who dared to harm Your Majesty?”
Yuno smiled bitterly at Kent’s words.
“Yes, that’s right. However, I personally executed all the rebels and tore off the leader among them, so don’t worry too much.”
“Such shameless bastards!! What do they think of His Highness the Prince and the Windrage family!! When the war is over, I will take the 11th Legion and put the blame on their family!!”
“There is no need to do that. Fortunately, it seems that it was not a plot with an enemy country or an attempt to start a rebellion, but rather out of personal greed, so it would be better to end it at that level.”
“Huh~ Your Majesty, you are too lenient! Trying to take the life of the royal family is treason, so those three clans must be destroyed!! Your Majesty? Your Majesty?”
“Uh, huh? What’s wrong with magic?”
Whether it was because he cared for his nephew… Or the fact that Wind Rage had looked down on him, Kent let out a tremendous amount of anger at this incident. Although she didn’t think that her uncle was bad, it was true that she was a nuisance, so Yuno thought there was a communication error and took her hand away from her crystal ball.
Immediately the communication ended and Yuno stood up. In any case, it seemed like his uncle’s old brat appearance had disappeared to some extent, so Yuno assumed nothing would happen and went back to the barracks where the meeting was being held.
Drop
“Ugh… Hey, communications officer! What’s wrong with the communications? I was giving deep advice to His Royal Highness, but the communications were cut off, right? Why don’t you do your job properly?”
“I… I didn’t hang up, it was from over there…”
“Oh, that’s noisy. People who can’t work always make excuses.”
‘Then he used a crystal ball… All he had to do was raise his hand, but he said he didn’t have the form to do that, so he called me and connected me, damn it…’
Kent, who returned to his barracks leaving the aggrieved wizard behind, licked his lips while thinking about the taste of the lower body of the lord’s wife whom he had kidnapped from the territory he had conquered last time.
“Adjutant! Go to the POW camp and bring that bitch!”
“… If you say she’s that bitch…?”
“Ah, isn’t it obvious that you are referring to Baroness Cunnet? I have something to interrogate in depth, so go quickly and bring her.”
“Yes, I understand”
Kent’s adjutant went to the prisoner-of-war camp with arrogance pouring out inside him, picked up Baroness Cunnet, whose face was covered in tears, and headed to Kent’s barracks.
“Don’t the Balkan Empire soldiers have any honor? Instead of humiliating me like this, just kill me like my husband!!”
“… I’m sorry, ma’am. As a mere adjutant, I cannot refuse the orders of the corps commander.”
Hehe…”
Eventually, Baroness Curnett was brought into Kent’s barracks, and cries and cries were heard from inside her barracks.
“Phew~ When I return to my hometown, I’ll have to get discharged… It’s dirty, it’s dirty…”
A messenger came running at extremely high speed and reported to the adjutant who was leaving the corps commander’s barracks and returning to his barracks nearby.
“This is an urgent alert!! The scouting party reported the appearance of an enemy fleet on the southern coast of Teseito. After disembarking the cavalry, they are heading north at a fast rate! Their number is approximately 6,000!! The flag is presumed to be the Royal Guard Cavalry! Current location Viscounty of Zaale !!”
As soon as he heard the messenger’s report, the adjutant rushed to Kent’s barracks. And I stopped knocking and ran to Kent to report.
“Corps Commander!! The enemy has appeared!! 6,000 Teseito Royal Cavalry have landed on the southern coast and are heading north, and are said to have now reached the Zale Viscounty! The distance from our corps is less than 150 km!!”
“You don’t even know how to behave!! The corps commander is now interrogating a prisoner. What is this?”
Kent, who was swinging his hips on top of Baroness Curnet, screamed in embarrassment. However, his adjutant paid no heed to Kent’s reaction and continued to act as FM.
“This is not the time! 150 km is less than a day’s distance at cavalry speed! You must immediately report to the commander and request reinforcements or join the army!!”
“Oh, this guy!! Didn’t you say it was only 6,000? We can handle that much with just our 11th Corps! It actually worked out well. I finally got a chance to prove my abilities. I was getting bored with this kind of sloppy territory capture… Kkkk”
Kent’s eyes lit up as he squeezed Baroness Cournet’s breasts tightly and sucked on her nipples. The wife screamed in intense pain, but Kent paid no attention and began shaking his waist again, giving instructions to his deputy.
“Adjutant! Reporting to superiors is prohibited. You go out and prepare the soldiers for a standby battle! I will also leave as soon as I finish this year’s interrogation. Hehe.”
Even though he thought he was not an adjutant who could not refuse the orders of the corps commander, he went out of the barracks to carry out his orders.
“Your pussy is less tight!! Such a cheeky girl!! What do you think of the successor to the Great Wind Rage!! I’m saying put more pressure on your pussy! Haha,”
As he was leaving, he shook his head at the sound of his superior’s voice coming from the barracks and thought about how he could survive this battle.
Kwaang!!
The next morning. As soon as Yuno got out of bed, he had to receive a report that made him faint.
“W… What did you say? The 11th Corps was annihilated? There was no report that the enemy appeared? Who is the 11th Corps commander? What happened to my uncle?”
“Well… Well… The commander of the 11th Corps fled as soon as the enemy cavalry began to break through the square…”
“This is crazy!! Fleeing from the enemy? Corps commander? Does that make sense?”
“B… But it’s true. The 11th Corps, led by the Wind Rage Army, formed a large cavalry phalanx and desperately blocked the first charge, but allowed the enemy cavalry that came in from the side to break through and flee when they tried to reach the headquarters. There are more than one testimony that it was done.”
“So where did the commander of the 11th Corps, who was said to have run away, go?”
“There has been no additional news regarding the 11th Corps Commander. Our troops are currently recovering the remnants of the defeated soldiers. Please give additional instructions.”
Yuno felt his head pounding as he had never dreamed that his uncle, who had been somewhat at ease until yesterday, would stab him in the back like this.
“Holy shit!! The 10th Corps moves south to the southern front…”
“This is urgent news!! They say they are gathering reinforcements from the three marquis territories located in the center of Tesseito and heading towards our troops!! It is expected that we will encounter our troops in about 15 days.”
Yuno’s head began to hurt more and more as he realized that enemies were coming from the west. He continued to think about it, but he could not come up with a solution with his poor strategic skills, so Yuno decided to follow his feeling.
“You die one way or another, but it’s all the same!! The 10th Corps joins the 1st Army and captures Streve before enemy reinforcements arrive!!”
“Huh? How can we take Streve, which His Majesty the Crown Prince has been besieging for almost a month…”
“Once we get there, we’ll find a solution! Tell your brother that our 10th Corps is also heading to Streve!”
The Ten Seals were stunned by Yuno’s helpless decision, but since they could not do much better, they decided to follow the decision of Yuno, the corps commander and second-in-command of the expeditionary force.
