Chapter 46: It’s called strategy (2)
Duke Ronen retreated, abandoning Bern Castle.
His troops were preoccupied with fleeing past Linon Castle, which had fallen into enemy hands.
That was what should've happened.
I needed his power to take back Linon Castle, that's why I bet everything on Yusen's character.
Of course, the best way to do this was for me to appear and open the gates just as Duke Ronen began his attack on Linon Castle.
That way, I wouldn't have to hold the gates open and struggle for my life until his army arrived.
The problem with this method, however, was the Duke of Ronen's trust in me.
He didn't have enough trust in me to attack Linon Castle, that's why I needed to open the gates in advance to make sure that he would.
"We'll continue fighting until we take back Linon Castle!"
I didn't rest my hand on the [Attack] command as I spoke with Zeff.
"Who the hell are you people? How dare you attack with such a small force! Get rid of them and close the gates immediately!"
