Chapter 206: Agitation and Profit (1)
It’s been almost a year since the Kingdom of Lyon and the Holy Empire went to war.
Unlike modern wars, where battles last for years and all a nation’s resources are thrown into the conflict, wars on the medieval continent of Albania usually end within 2–3 months, or at most six months.
The battles generally involve a large-scale clash that decides the outcome with a single victory or defeat.
‘This time, both sides mobilized over 100,000 troops each.’
“This war has lasted quite a while. So who won?”
“The Kingdom of Lyon won, it seems.”
From the start, this war heavily favored the Kingdom of Lyon.
Though I don’t know much about the terrain, supply lines, troops, tactics, or the generals’ levels, Napoleon once said that an army with two equally skilled commanders is weaker than one led by a Daimyo like Japan’s Wanko.
But the Holy Empire was a coalition force, and there were likely constant disagreements between the commander of the papal army and the high-ranking officials of the Holy Empire.
The Kingdom of Lyon, with the advantage of defense and unified command, was bound to have the upper hand in the battle.
“If you have any information about the progress of the war, read it in detail.”
“Initially, the Holy Empire’s army and the mercenaries hired by the Papacy pushed the Kingdom of Lyon’s forces back little by little. The coalition forces, emboldened by their progress, rushed to secure a decisive victory.”
