Chapter 114: Saving What Is Worth Saving (3)

- - Lunan Remnants POV - -
Castle Voltaire.
To the southwest of Lunan is Aquitania.
The territory on the way from Lunan Castle to Aquitania was none other than Voltaire.
The situation was such that the war had not yet reached Voltaire Castle.
The territories in the north were already in the hands of Visigoth, and many of the lords of the neighbouring lands had fled, but the lords of Voltaire had kept their gates tightly closed.
The reason for this was simple: he had declared his intention to defend this territory while drinking with his vassals, and it had become a disaster.
If he had been an unprincipled man, he would have been able to pretend that such a thing never happened, but Voltaire was extremely indecisive.
He could not say that he wanted to run away in front of his vassals, who were moved by his love for the country.
"As you said, my lord, even if it means dying, we will die here. Death on the run is too miserable!"
