Chapter 302: Empire Murderer (4)
* * *
Our army surrounded the inner castle after we finished executing Agares.
We captured the outer walls and all of the urban area, so I thought the rest would be easy, but it wasn’t that simple. The inner castle within Le Havre was incredibly sturdy. The walls were tall and it had seven towers. These things alone made this castle comparable to a fortress.
“According to the report, roughly 13,000 soldiers managed to safely retreat.”
“That is more than I expected. I figured that, at most, six to seven thousand would manage to get out…….”
Despite the sudden internal conflict caused by Agares, they successfully got more than half of their troops away. Adding to this, they accomplished this while being pincered on both land and sea. This was by no means an easy task
Queen Henrietta most likely predicted that things would progress like this from the moment the internal conflict occurred. She had kept a withdrawal path in mind. This was the only explanation.
Despite the sudden assault, Queen Henrietta remained composed and kept an eye on the situation before ordering her soldiers to retreat to the castle. Her commanding abilities were truly impressive.
“She predicted everything, huh? Impressive.”
