Chapter 190: Retaliation (2)
The foolish child king of Roserun could not abandon his pride and swallow his loss.
The march-weary forces of General Bellac were spotted heading towards the newly founded city of Rosa Alba by Julius’s light cavalry scouts who were surveilling and patrolling their newest territory.
Upon sighting this new enemy, Julius sat in the office of the town hall contemplating his choices.
We could allow the Roserun army to lay siege to our city and wait until they’ve ground themselves to death smashing against our walls as we defend.
However, this will most likely cause a great deal of stress and worry to occur for the refugees of the Roserun kingdom, plus extend the length of the conflict.
The other choice would be to sally forth and meet their opponent in the field of battle, the battle itself would most likely end in a single day or two, and the city dwellers would be more relieved as the fighting would take place away from their new homes.
The losses his army would suffer however would be greater though since they would lose the advantage of the massive defensive fortifications.

Off to his side the princess was lounging on a couch in a most un-princesslike fashion, laying on her back partly propped up by one arm like a scene right out of a pop culture film where Julius was about to paint the goddess herself.
