Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"In just three days ... this is the fourth city we've conquered?"
In the evening of Kerr City, along the border of Carretas, the Queen stood on the top of the city wall, turned around and asked a mage standing behind her who wearing a long robe.
After the mage heard the Queen's question, he seemed a little nervous, but he still took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes."
"Four cities, it’s either after surrounding it for a while, the leader of the city will surrender themselves, or, before we even start attacking, all the troops in the city are all gone already." After listening up until here, the Queen suddenly sneered and asked, "In your opinion, what's going on?"
"This ... ... of course it’s because Icor’s army are too powerful and the enemy are unable to defend against us, so they can only retreat."
The Queen smiled, shook her head, then she suddenly moved closer to the mage and whispered: "The reason why I’m asking this question is not to listen to some old-fashioned answer."
The mage quickly took a few steps back, hesitated for a moment and said: "This ... the reason why they are not resisting, maybe because Carretas already have other arrangements."
After hearing that, the Queen turned around and looked at the vast skyline outside of the city wall.
"Is this what you think?" From the tone of her voice, she seemed disappointed.
"No ... I, I think they might still be busy with their own civil strife, so they do not have time to react to our attacks." The mage took a deep breath and his mood seemed to have finally calmed down, then he slowly said, "There have been rumors around saying that the king is an imposter, the so-called real king seems to be recruiting troops everywhere, getting ready to regain his throne. Under such circumstances, how can they deal with us?"
"So, they will continue to allow us to attack?" The queen asked again, with cold and monotonous voice.
"This ... maybe ..."
"Forget it, I should not have asked you since the beginning." The Queen shook her head, turned around and walked down to the stairs beside the city wall, "Send a messenger. A tangled warfare is the most difficult situation to control, if there are already three forces in the Carretas... we must surely eliminate one of them first. "
The mage was shocked.
He understood what the Queen was trying to say, so he quickly asked solemnly: "Where should we send the messenger?"
"Of course to Gealorre."
The Queen said and left without turning back.
The mage recovered from the shock, watched as the Queen left, then turned around and faced the soldiers at the side of the road: "Quick, didn’t you hear? Your Majesty have given an order, send a messenger to the palace of Gealorre and tell them that the Queen of Icor has a deal to offer."
"Yes!"
The soldiers nodded and left hurriedly.
The sun started to set and the sky was getting dim, only the mage was left alone at the top of the city wall. He glanced at the towns below him, shook his head, turned around and left.
At the same time.
On the other end of the Carretas, the general and king had chosen the granary that they planned to attack.
They did not know what did the Queen decide on, but they knew how much their next battle mean to them – it was not just for the food, but also to proclaimed war against the world, claiming that the King is back!
Therefore, they need to be fully prepared.
"The granary at the north side of long river town is one of the largest granary in the eastern region of Carretas. When the town around the eastern region turn in their food, at least one fifth of the foods will be stored in that granary for time of emergencies. If we can get our hands on it, we will not have to worry about food supply anymore."
Within the army tent, the general pointed on the huge map being placed on the table and said.
After hearing that, the King and Benjamin both nodded.
During these few days, the King had been busy with leading the army. He visited every barracks, greeted the soldiers and ate with them ... After doing all these, he won over the soldiers’ heart, gotten their support, made sure that the army will fight for him and not betray him for the imposter King in Gealorre during critical moments.
Conquering the granary was just their first battle, as the mental support of the "republican army
