Chapter 288: Puppet War (5)
“Nothing is certain yet. There is no guarantee that their provisions are actually south of the river. The location of their supply warehouse must also be treated as a secret within their army. It is highly unlikely that the Demon Lord army was able to learn of its location.”
Elizabeth’s complexion went dark.
“……Nonetheless, if the Demon Lord army was somehow able to get their hands on this information, it would be bad. The Demon Lord army would undoubtedly pretend to march to Parisiorum. Henrietta is in a situation where she cannot lose the Empress Dowager or the Emperor. I am certain that she will run to Parisiorum in order to check on them.”
The worst-case scenario would be if the supplies are located in the same direction as Parisiorum. It would inevitably be difficult to figure out where the enemy is going. However, Elizabeth didn’t go out of her way to mention this worst-case scenario.
“If they lose their supplies, then Henrietta would have no choice but to keep retreating. She would be forced to pillage. The hatred towards Brittany within Frankia would instantly get amplified. No, this might be what Dantalian is aiming for…….”
“Your Excellency, is Her Highness Henrietta not aware that her supplies might be in danger?”
Yuria spoke nervously.
“I do not think that she would be completely unaware.”
Elizabeth let out a sigh.
