Chapter 232.1
Chapter 232.1
Max and Augen’s party, which had been acting as a detachment, joined Welner after capturing about 20 Farlitz knights who abandoned the fourth prince and Count Knewbell and were trying to flee.
After the Farlitz Army had left its camp early in the morning to raid the supplies of the Bain Kingdom army, Max and his subordinates had entered the Farlitz Army’s camp.
Max’s team not only managed to successfully capture those who had remained behind in camp, but also ambushed the fugitives who tried to run away from Welner.
Just as Welner was explaining the situation to Max, who had reported that the Farlitz Army’s camp had been rendered unusable, a party from the main Bain Kingdom army, led by Baron Kvaernergel and Baron Dhonyani, arrived.
Baron Kvaernergel, after hearing the details of the situation, praised Welner.
“I had no idea that even a prince of Farlitz had been captured. Well done.” (Kvaernergel)
“Thank you for your praise. However, it was a coincidence as we did not expect the prince to be caught as well.” (Welner)
“Luck is also part of strength, you know.” (Kvaernergel)
Baron Dhonyani smiled broadly at Welner, who responded not only with modesty but also with sincerity. Baron Dhonyani had a large scar on his face and usually looked fierce, but when he smiled, his face looked strangely childish.
“However, Viscount, a little…” (Kvaernergel)“I understand. May I ask Baron Kvaernergel to take charge of the prisoners?” (Welner)
“Yes, sir.” (Kvaernergel)
Baron Kvaernergel responded politely to Welner, who was about the age of his son.
The two barons looked impressed as Welner had achieved results that would only be considered as extraordinary. Not only that, Welner also did not flaunt or emphasize his achievement.
“Speaking of which, what happened with the main army?” (Welner)
“Don’t worry. The Second Order has joined with them.” (Kvaernergel)
Baron Kvaernergel answered Welner’s question.
The information obtained by the Coltrezis House regarding the Second Order disappearing in the direction of the capital was correct. But the Second Order did not actually return to the capital.
The Second Order, which seemed to be heading toward the capital, met up with a new supply unit arranged by Count Vogler on the way, and then headed east south along the river bordering the Kingdom of Farlitz, joining the main army from the north with food supplies.
While Welner, Earl Harfolk, and others were busy with their current operation, the main army was receiving supplies and preparing for its next military action.
“His Highness is already moving on to the next mission.” (Kvaernergel)
“I see…” (Welner)
“The Viscount has been instructed to continue as planned. Is that alright?” (Kvaernergel)
Baron Dhonyani’s statement made Welner think for a moment. There was nothing wrong with the instructions themselves, but Welner would end up earning more achievements if he proceeded as planned and succeeded.
Simply put, the distribution of achievements would not be well-balanced when everything would be over.
Welner thought about it for a moment and then turned to them.
“I would like to change our marching schedule if possible, sir.” (Welner)
“I suppose that would be better.” (Kvaernergel)
Baron Kvaernergel and Baron Dhonyani nodded, had a short meeting, and parted for the moment. Max then gathered the rest of the Zeavert knights and gave them their roles.
“I’m afraid we have no choice.” (Welner)
“You’re not happy?” (Max)
“Honestly?” (Augen)
Max and Augen’s job was to guard the encampment. It was true that this job did not have much to show for their valor.
However, Welner told them that it was not good to take too much credit, and they could not argue with his decision.
“This time, it’s enough if we just follow behind the main army. That’s the plan, everyone.” (Welner)
“Yes!” (Zeavert Knights)
At Welner’s direction, Zeavert knights also started their move. The three commanders, including Welner, spent the night in the camp and had a late-night meeting to prepare for their plans for the next day and beyond.
