Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Crowdagen, the i through the history of Lapland, and with good reason, since it was the last line of defense protecting the royal capital

It was located at a strategic position for transport, within a e that stretched over 3000 ht Moreover, it was protected by high ra it indeed worthy of being called a fortress

However, at the ly small number of troops stationed there

Lapland was a small country, but if they mobilized all their forces, they could assemble more than 20000 soldiers

If they were to face an arard would be put in a tough enough spot to give ti countries to send reinforceainst the empire, Lapland had lostitself, they could only send around a thousand soldiers to Crowdagen

【”Say what you will, but this is quite a spectacular scene, isn't it?”】

Looking at Asgard's large ara s

【”Only you would be able to shness”】

The man who replied to the princess was Marcus, an adjutant whose face had turned somewhat pale

He was in the middle of his thirties and had no lack of experience in co fro an army of 40000 soldiers

To make matters worse, his allies nu any reinforcements whatsoever

【”The nuh space here for the army So there is no need for us to be afraid, is there?”】

The greatest treasure of Lapland, the Snow White Valkyrie, was s fearlessly

The troops had been intie, with the backing of her past achieve as they followed this Goddess of the battlefield, they would not lose

Even if the fortunes of ere to go against the to their defeat, they believed their deaths would absolutely not be in vain

Frigga had such charisrets in life if they died by her side

【”No ard's barbarians cole one reach the royal capital As long as I'm here, we can turn the tables on them any number of times!”】

【”Ooooooooh!”】

Hule word fro in terror into warriors who did not fear death However, a tens of thousands of people, only one person, one hero, could achieve this kind of effect

The en's defense troops soared up with the power to pierce the heavens above

The roars of Crowdagen's forces reached all the way to the troops of the Asgard empire's fourth squadron, which was led by count Cabernard

【” ‘No cowardly soldiers under a great general' Is that how the saying goes?”】

That did not apply tothe farards to trained career soldiers

Their training was instilled to the core of their bodies They'd never retreat so long as their co on the front line

(―― Interesting I didn't expect any less from the snohite valkyrie)

Cabernard bared his canines into a smile

Lately, he had been disappointed that there weren't any opponents worth fighting, so this turn of event was not exactly bad fro a heroine ready to sacrifice herself should be good”】

It had been twenty years since he had succeeded the rank of count from his father, and now, he had an established reputation as a veteran general of the Asgard empire's forces

The ferinkles on the corners of his eyes gave away the fact that he was in his forties, but his firmly built, perfectly fit body looked so youthful that he could pass off as sohtly reddish, light brown hair, and his stern yet char the military, but even within the ihty en's short-numbers troops was an earnest one

At the start of this war, before the crushi+ng victory of the edo ruhest authorities of Lapland, the duke of Varandi, claidoard's fourth squadron are planning to change sides”

Because of that infore in the first place, the Lapland kingdom allowed itself to pointlessly takefor the troops of the Nedras kingdom to join their side

Of course, the empire's fourth squadron did not actually have troops of the Nedras kingdo of the sort All they had were a few officers who had betrayed the Nedras kingdom in order to join the eh to fool all of Lapland's coest victi scattered all over the place and unable to receive any codoard empire's absolute superiority

There was also no way the countries who had friendly ties with Lapland would interfere

After all, Lapland would already be down before any reinforce any intervention pointless

All that was left to do for Asgard at this point was to patiently wait for Lapland to take its last breath

Even so, Cabernard was a military man to the core, and he hoped he'd be able to face at least one worthy enemy

【”Sir Cabernard, your excellency, please rea”】

Seeing the fighting spirit in Cabernard's eyes, the divisional commander, Navarre, reminded him of the emperor's orders
