Chapter 285: Puppet War (2)
* * *
Continental Calendar, 1511, Early June.
Our troops marched through the summer wind and successfully assembled in the northwestern region of Frankia.
Harvesting was crucial during this point of the year. Even the war-crazed lords avoided rallying their armies during this period. Doing so might ruin their entire summer harvest, after all. It was also during this period that the people would strongly oppose drafts.
In other words—it was the perfect time for the Demon Lord army to invade the human world.
Different from humans, demons weren’t bound to harvesting. While the humans were heavily restricted when they could go to war, the Demon Lord army was entirely free.
This was probably why knights were developed to such heights. They needed a force that could deal with demons at any time and any place regardless of farming. However, if they raise too many soldiers, they would have fewer people to work the fields. Thus, they could only make small units of elite soldiers…….
It was an interesting matter. The existence of monsters alone can change the world to this extent.
The establishment of knight academies throughout the nation was essential. They had to keep a cavalry unit prepared so that they could quickly dispatch them no matter where the Demon Lord army invaded from. Well, creating powerful fortresses in key points was also a precaution they could take.
