142 Episode 14 Battle of Edin Cliffs (1/2)

A short time after the Battle of Astia, King Bulgalon called a temporary truce with the Lemurian Empire for peace and negotiations.

What the heck is going on here?　At this time.

After the Battle of Astia, the Lemurian army continued to advance rapidly.

On their way to the next city, while they were building their encampment, King Bulgalon called for a truce.

Why not? Or did he give you some conditions?

When Carolina asks, Hercule scratches his head and replies.

No, ...... Lemuria is even prepared to hand over the cities it has lost so far to Lemuria.

In the event that you've got any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, we're here to help.

It is understandable that Hercule is suspicious.

”Did something happen inside the Bulgaron Kingdom?

Either the economic base of the Bulgaron Kingdom was weaker than Hercule had imagined and could not withstand more war.

Or it is possible that the clans insisted that they would not recognize the Chieftain of Kotormir as king if the war continued any longer.

It is quite possible that the clans insisted that they would not recognize the Kotormir chieftain as king if the war continued.

As expected, Hercule is not very familiar with the political situation inside the Bulgaron Kingdom.

”You won't accept it?

”No, of course not. I want to make peace as soon as possible.

We already know that the clans in the Bulgaron Kingdom are very reluctant to fight this war.

As long as they can't gather new troops, there's little chance of stalling.

The Bulgaron Kingdom must really want to stop the war.

”Let's just kill time here for a while. Fortunately, this is a great place to set up camp.

When camping, one must be careful of enemy attacks.

Hercule chose to camp at the foot of a cliff called the Edin Cliffs.

With his back against the cliff and his left and right in front of him surrounded by shelters and fences, no matter how strong the cavalry of the Kingdom of Bulgaron was, they could not attack him carelessly.

I can finally go home now.

Hercule's expression was one of relief.

It was that night.

Alicia, who had come with a hundred elite cavalry from the Cotormia-Chrom clan, looked down at the Lemurian army encamped below.

She couldn't see much, but she could see bonfires flickering, so she was sure it was the Lemurian army camp.

You can't be too careful with him.

Alicia muttered to herself.

There were a small number of guards on the cliff.

The Lemurian guards had all been shot dead and were now mute corpses.

”Nice try, Emperor Lemuria. Your attention should have been on the back, not the front.

The guards kept their eyes forward, not behind.

Alicia thought that the Emperor of Lemuria intended to take advantage of the location of the cliff to look over from a height and detect the attack of the Bulgaron army as soon as possible.

In other words, the Emperor of Lemuria hadn't let his guard down even after accepting the truce.

”You're not wrong. Yeah, it's impossible to try to ride down this cliff. Besides, it's the middle of the night with only moonlight. So there's no need to pay attention to the back. We should be paying attention to the front. A few guards behind us, protected by the cliffs, should be more than enough.

Alicia smiled at ......

She smiled.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what to do. If it's just a few elite horsemen, ......

Alicia said, kicking the horse in the gut and going straight ahead.

There's no road in front of us, but we're not slowing down.

She went straight down the cliff.

A hundred more cavalrymen follow Alicia, descending the cliff one after another.

And ......

At last, she succeeded in getting around the rear of the Lemurian army.

Alicia looks behind her and checks the number of cavalry.

She counted the faces blurred by the moonlight. ......

There were sixty of them.

Forty seemed to have dropped out midway.

But ......

Sixty is enough.

Alicia pulled her hood up deep and covered her mouth and nose with a black cloth.

This completely hid her face, which was easily visible in the dark.

”Let's go!

Alicia said. ......

Alicia said, charging into the Lemurian position.

”...... Who are you?　Who is this idiot who is making a festive noise in the middle of the night?

Hercule heard the noise and woke up, rubbing his eyes.

But he soon realized that it was no mere revelry.

(A night raid?　I don't know what the guards were doing. But where did it ...... come from, from behind?　(I don't think they could get down that cliff in the middle of the night.

While thinking about this, I shook Carolina, who was hugging me, awake.

”Hey, wake up. It's probably a night raid.

”Yeah, ...... His Majesty's s*x ...... and Shou?　Night raids?

Carolina jumped up immediately.

Almost at the same time, a soldier jumped into the room.

”Oh, excuse me for disturbing you!　Your Majesty, there's a night attack!　Please change your clothes immediately. ......

”Don't worry, it's already done.

Hercule and Karolina got out of bed.

They spent the night in the same bed, but they were not having s*xual intercourse.

They were not having s*xual intercourse, and they were fully clothed so that they could get up quickly.

”Do you know where the enemy is coming from?

”Oh, probably from the rear.
