Chapter 283: Grand Coalition

“It seems they lost their first battle.”
“Those Frankians, I thought they would at least show a little backbone…….”
The generals of Brittany clicked their tongues after the envoy finished giving their report. It wasn’t a normal defeat, but a complete and utter defeat.
The only solace was the fact that they successfully retreated in an orderly manner. About sixty percent of their total troops managed to survive. However, General Gaspard de Tabarn, who was the supreme commander, died in battle. All sorts of complaints started to pour out as the generals grumbled about how ridiculous it was.
“This will only lower our morale.”
“I believed General Tabarn would put in more effort, but it seems I had forgotten his age. To think he would lead a cavalry charge.”
A commander shook his head in disappointment.
“Ten years have already passed since that general’s cavalry was last active. The Tiger of Frankia lost his teeth a long time ago. But to think he would forget his age and make his troops charge recklessly…….”
