Chapter 329: The Northern Reclamation War (1)
"What's all this commotion about?" Beoruk asked in his usual commanding voice.
Perhaps impressed by both the line and the tone, Helik kept mumbling "What's all this commotion about, what's all this commotion about."
"We mobilized the army by royal order... but we were a step too late."
"A step too late? Explain in detail." Beoruk’s expression hardened.
Matching his tone, the atmosphere in the audience chamber grew heavy as the nobles began to speak one by one.
"The traitors made the first move. They raised an army and are marching north."
"There were more traitors besides the ones revealed by Count Kai. As many as ten additional ones."
"The forty-two traitors are evenly distributed across the eastern and western regions. The armies they raised are headed toward the north, even at this moment."
"Their military force is estimated at 150,000."
"150,000...?"
Beoruk’s brow violently twitched. The scale of the rebellion was far greater than expected.
