Chapter 93
In Three Days
The morale of the Ashtaroth army was high.
First, we had to rush to Decarbia castle in order to drive back Zagam’s army, which had surrounded it.
The bulk of my army was infantry, but as they were properly trained, it only took a few days to reach Decarbia castle.
It reminded me of something that Napoleon had once said.
“Napoleon, a genius of war, once said that a strong army is an army that marches a lot. Walk everywhere, through dangerous terrain and through places even the enemy would not go. That was the secret to their strength.”
In other words, the ability of the soldiers to move together was important.
“On that point, Jochi’s army of knights could be a lot of trouble. But they are not the ones surrounding the castle, are they?”
I asked Eve and she nodded.
