Chapter 152: True Winner II
“So… you mean all of Frank’s forces were wiped out?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. They were all k!lled, refusing to surrender until the very end.”
After a desperate battle, the Tarkic Empire finally succeeded in occupying “Belgrade Castle”.
Despite their overwhelming numbers, the nature of the fortress made it difficult to capture, even with a large army. Above all, the fierce resistance from the Frank army, who fought relentlessly until the end, proved to be a significant obstacle.
The Tarkic forces divided their troops, launching continuous attacks day and night to prevent the defenders from getting any rest. The Frank soldiers, prepared to die, managed to hold them off for three more days, squeezing out every last ounce of strength.
“Especially at the end, that man named Favre put up quite the resistance. With just a hundred soldiers, he held a narrow corridor for an entire day…”
Although the overwhelming numbers eventually led to their defeat, Padishah Shreman couldn’t help but feel a bit impressed.
Initially, the Padishah had underestimated the Frank Kingdom, who had tried to ally with him after being pushed back by the Holy Empire. However, the bravery and heroic end shown by the Frank soldiers during the battle revealed that their kingdom had more potential than he had anticipated.
“Since we’ve occupied this area, we must continue advancing. Where are the Allied Forces now?”
