Chapter 37 – 04. Golden Home (錦衣還鄕).
“What do you mean by that? Hasamdo (下三道) fell into the hands of the enemy!”
Ekaterina asked.
Although he is plotting some kind of conspiracy through negotiations with the enemy, it was too soon.
In addition, even if the land is violated, Hasamdo, where the navy is located, must remain so that the future can be promised.
“Tell me in detail!”
At the prompting of the queen, the woman who came to report hurriedly reported.
“It is said that the enemy’s large army landed in the Roissy region and held a large banquet, so Duke Elles caught the attack by surprise.
“Are you saying there are more reinforcements coming?”
“That’s right. Low.”
“Kyu, how big is it?”
“It is said to be more than 130,000 as a rough estimate.”
Daejeon was filled with laments and sighs.
It was surprising that a large army of over 100,000 landed in Roissy, but if they came again, the odds of winning were very slim.
“Then, are you saying that there are over 300,000 Vasa troops ravaging this country right now?”
“That’s right. Your Highness…”
“Huh…”
There is no energy to be surprised.
It was not just an expedition, but a 300,000-strong army was mobilized on the subject of crossing the sea.
This was no longer the power of a small country.
“Your Highness! This is ridiculous! Three years ago, a large army of 100,000 came in, and it was the same during the second invasion, but now it’s 300,000! This is something wrong!”
“Yes, Your Highness! A mere barbarian cannot raise such a great army! This is certain…”
“Look! Is that still the case! Isn’t this division happening because you ignore it like that and don’t take a good look at it!”
“What?”
“Stop it! It’s right in front of Your Highness.”
“…”
After a little quiet, Ekaterina spoke again.
“Your Highness. With this, the work to be done has become clear. We must send the governor to receive reinforcements from the Mei Empire.”
“…Isn’t that what you’re trying to do even now? But, will you be able to hold out until reinforcements come…”
She painstakingly closed her eyes.
“How much is the loss of troops?”
“… About 30,000 were killed and 2,000 elite soldiers were captured.”
“…What happened to Duke Elles?”
“I feel like I’ve been taken prisoner.”
Yerina tore her hair. It felt like her head her would explode at any moment.
“Majesty!”
“Please strengthen your mind and body!”
“Whoa… That’s it. First of all… Ask for reinforcements from the Mei Empire. As soon as possible!”
“…Yes, Your Highness.”
* * *
Ekaterina returns to her room her.
“Hassan.”
“Yes. Master.”
“Find out in detail what happened. The scale of the enemy, as much as possible, find out in detail.”
“I take orders.”
The Hassan disappeared and she let out a long sigh.
“This… If done wrong, it might endanger her life her, let alone the throne…”
I never thought she would have had her large army her this far…
“Whoa… I don’t know if this is a war for nothing.”
I regretted it a little. Maybe I did it for nothing then.
However, he soon reaffirmed his promise.
“No. You can’t be weak. I’m the woman who will be king.”

Soldiers on the move.
They fought for two full days, and were organizing for another two full days.
“The damage situation has been roughly counted.”
When Aran breaks the prejudice of being a man and plays an active part, the army sent by Juana soon joins.
Thanks to this, he was able to annihilate the enemy without difficulty, and he was able to raise his record of capturing 2,000 elite soldiers.
“Fortunately, there was no damage to the allies. About 1,000 dead and 2,000 casualties. Her Highness Her Princess Juana’s army will be similar.”
“It can be said that it is a small damage for destroying the enemy.”
“Her Highness her the Princess and the Crown Prince have a lot to do. If it wasn’t for the two of them, we would n’t have been able to achieve such a great victory.”
Needless to say Illyana, Aran also performed exceptionally well.
Using the ballista, he pierced the enemy line and put the cavalry in it.
Thanks to this, the ranks of the enemy army were completely divided, and they were able to annihilate the encirclement with the Huana army who came to support.
In addition, he left a great impression by commanding the battlefield without collapsing even after using Ballista, a mana evaporation technique.
‘That’s not all of me yet.’
It was an appropriate performance to find a compromise in its own way.
If you do the matchless here, you may have doubts about Aran.
With the exception of Illyana, there was no need to attract attention in the yard where there was no foundation to speak of.
“It was only possible because you were together.”
Illyana sighed appropriately as she sighed in her mouth.
“Your Highness. Drive this momentum and advance to the city.”
“That’s right. The enemy army is almost half destroyed, and the enemy commander is also captured, isn’t it?”
Illyana nodded her head.
Because of this incident, Throdia suffered tremendous damage, so it was important to drive this momentum.
“Then let’s do this. Aran, you lead 70,000 troops and advance to the city.”
“Yes? Are you acting separately?”
“Yes. If this sister is with us, we will not be able to commit prisoners freely.”
“No, I don’t do that.”
Her smirk her made Aran hot like a tomato.
The nobles held their breath.
“Anyway, you head to the capital and immediately go to capture the king. This sister will lead the army and pacify the lower peninsula.”
“Hmm…But wouldn’t that be too wasteful? There’s Sister Juana’s army too…”
“We have now occupied half of the lower peninsula. And…”
She made a slightly serious face.
“Aran, you need a ball. It’s not a ball that commanders recognize, but a ball that ordinary people can easily recognize and praise.”
“Sister…”
Aran is adopted by a man. She has all the conditions to be looked down upon just for that.
That’s why he needed a big ball.
“Your Highness, I will serve you with all my life.”
“Will you? Aran doesn’t have much experience in commanding the army, so he will have to help a lot by the side.”
“Of course. Leave it to me.”
“I’m so energetic again…”
“Whoa!”
Aran quickly covered her Illyana’s mouth with her.
Even her her, her 5th tier knight, didn’t see the move.
“Don’t say anything weird!”
Just like before, it’s full of women, so it’s difficult to say this.
His face His has already surpassed the tomato.
“Your Highness, please leave that to me. I’m fresh…”
“What are you talking about! Count Hancock!”
When Iliana’s mouth was closed, the woman who said she would help him this time jumped out.
She went a step further and slightly exposed her shoulders.
“I’ll take it off if you want.”
“I do not need!”
“Sir, I can’t believe His Highness His is… Male…”
“No.”
Aran lamented why there were no normal people at all.
“Rather than that, isn’t that kind of behavior in the military camp a violation of military law?”
“Oh, what kind of action are you talking about? Aran. Say it accurately.”
“…Don’t say that when you know it.”
“I don’t know about this sister. You have to tell me for sure.”
It’s a lie.
She was laughing with a look that would kill for fun.
“Your Highness. You’re just joking around. Shouldn’t we devise a strategy now?”
Fortunately, a savior appeared.
She was a woman with a cool impression, with a cold wind blowing like Juana.
“Hmm… You looked ugly. Anyway. If Aran advances to the capital, we will remain and take the lower peninsula as our territory. It will be important to win public sentiment for this.
The plundering of the nobles is permitted, but the plundering of the people is not permitted.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Are you okay? Mother…”
“It’s okay. It is never Mother’s will to slaughter all the people. There is nothing to be gained from doing so. Mother is a cold-hearted person in that respect.”
“Okay…”
“Rather than that, Aran.”
“Yes.”
“Just because I’m not there, you can’t just send the soldiers into bed.”
“Do you know that I am your sister?”
“What do you think of this sister… I’m always in heat only for you.”
“Me, Your Highness…?”
“…That…It’s a dangerous statement in many ways…”
“Yes?”
The surroundings were frozen.
Even though they are not related by blood, to say such a thing…
When Illyana realized that she had gone too far, she hurried to deal with it.
“Hmmmm… It’s not good if the atmosphere is too frozen, so it’s a joke. Don’t take it too seriously.”
“That’s right, right?Haha.”
“You’re too dumb. Your Highness…”
“Ahahaha, it was my fault. Sometimes I get lost in words, so please understand.”
“…”
Fortunately, the nobles didn’t seem to have any other suspicions.
“By the way, sister.”
“What, what is it?”
“What if the king runs away? Will we keep chasing him?”
“What?”
“Your Highness. There is no way the King will escape.”
“But… If the king is captured, it’s over, right? It seems that running away is one way to win the war…”
“Aran. There’s no way the king would run away. If the king, the mother of the people, runs away, who will protect the people? They know that too, so there’s no need to worry.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course.”
