Chapter 275:
At the same time…
Around the time Otto heard the news of Adonis's death in his hometown and decided to eliminate the key figure, Aquinas in the process.
Rowena was conducting trials for the captured soldiers of the Kingdom of Erzsebet from the previous battle.
The Imperial Arad forces, led by Rowena, had invaded the territory of the Erzsebet Kingdom when Otto lured Bathory down the Uruk Plains.
In truth, Rowena's military activity couldn't be considered a full-scale war.
Although large forces were mobilized, no significant battles had taken place.
In reality, the conflict was more akin to a military provocation, with a small force infiltrating and destabilizing the rear rather than engaging in full-scale battles.
However, even in that military provocation, the Arad Empire's forces emerged victorious, killing a considerable number of Erzsebet Kingdom soldiers and capturing several dozen prisoners.
Today was the trial for the prisoners captured during that time, and Rowena, as the supreme commander of the Arad Empire's forces, personally delivered the verdicts.
