Chapter 383: Encounter of Two Heroes (11)
* * *
It was only a few days later that the Anatolia Empire decided to dispatch a large-scale army.
To be exact, it wasn’t a dispatch of their army. A large number of mercenaries had been hired under the name of Elizabeth. The issue was the scale. 15,000 mercenaries were currently being shipped to Sardinia from the Anatolia Empire.
There were rumors that this was also only the first batch. According to Anatolia’s minister of foreign affairs, they were more than capable of sending a second and third batch of troops.
“…….”
I tapped my finger on my office desk.
Something was strange.
Until now, I believed that Elizabeth was joining the fray to help Sardinia. However, she was now relying on an outside power in this situation?
In this scenario, even if the Kingdom of Sardinia were to emerge victorious, they would find themselves deeply indebted to the Anatolia Empire, both directly and indirectly. This would place them in a politically constrained position, possibly even requiring them to cede a city or something of similar value.
