Chapter 293: Puppet War (10)
* * *
Queen Henrietta went ahead first with her cavalry knights.
These knights, who had charged repeatedly the previous night, had to suffer further as they were forced to march again. Their armor was damaged and the warhorses were tired after having run for two hours. Despite all this, Brittany’s knights had to gather their strength again.
“We must get to Parisiorum before the enemy!”
The two armies raced with the Marne River between them. Brittany’s cavalrymen were famous for their speed. If they were under the same conditions, then there would’ve been no concern about arriving later than the enemy.
However, Queen Henrietta knew that they were already fairly late.
For starters, her army had only started to march now. On the other hand, the Demon Lord army had already sent the units that had finished crossing the river earlier. If you consider the fact that the battle took about two hours, the Demon Lord army had roughly a two-hour head start…….
Second, there wasn’t a single troop from the Batavia Republic in the battle just now. To be more exact, there wasn’t a single human soldier in sight. Demons may have been a majority in the enemy’s army, but how could they have not seen even a single human?
They didn’t participate in the battle. In that case, that could only mean one thing.
