Chapter 125: The Last Fight Of A Dying Kingdom (7)
"The enemy’s strength is estimated to be around 20,000 remaining. Thanks to Master Medellin, they’ve lost quite a large portion of their army." <Lamp>
"I see. But how could that proud girl retreat, from what I can see her army is in full retreat though it might be a feint as it only looks like her vanguard is the portion retreating?" <Duke Fran>
Fran twisted his head quizzically at Lamp’s report.
"They left Voltaire Castle without much supplies and retreated this way. Don’t you know what that means?" <Duke Fran>
Lucana answered Fran’s question with a clap of his hands.
"Isn’t it because Aquitania has supplies?" <Lucana>
"Yes, it does. After all, the heart of this enemy is in Aquitania. In fact, if the Fourth Army had held out a little longer, we could have reduced the number of enemies fleeing to Aquitania to a very small percentage...It’s a pity." <Duke Fran>
"We don’t have a clear picture of the situation. Every single allied soldier around Master Medellin’s position from her formation is dead..." <Lucana>
Fran scratched his cheek.
But right now, winning was more important than his sister’s condition.
"Let’s go for the straight and narrow. We’ll lay siege to Aquitania Castle. The supplies inside the castle are limited, and the enemy has only 20,000 men, and they’ll be exhausted after that battle, and running all the way home." <Duke Fran>
