Armipotent

Chapter 557 – Turmoil

Meanwhile, the first battle between the Lionax Kingdom and the Revolution Army had started. When the Revolution Army showed up, they took down Aram City. That was just the start. The Revolution Army managed to take four more cities before The Lionax Kingdom's force came to stop them. Now the Revolution Army was stuck in Glimmer City as the Lionax Kingdom's army was ahead of them.

Julius Brent had taken full control over the Glimmer including the city. In the city hall of Glimmer City, he gathered his twelve generals, "They are not the main army, right? There's no way they could reach this fast to the north in this short time, so who's leading the army?"

"No, My Lord. The main army is led directly by King Emerson and the army that fortified Ardale City is Marquis Brook's force. He convinced the nobles in the north to unite and fight us until the kingdom's main force arrived," General Harold reported to Julius. He was the person in charge of the information of the Revolution Army.

"How many of them? And Marquis Brook is just an Epic Rank, right?" Julius tapped the table with his index finger as he asked for more detailed information.

"Fifteen thousand Knights in total and yes, Marquis Brook is an Epic Rank. Including with the previous Marquis of the Brook Family and from the other nobles, they have seven Epic Ranks in total," General Harold nodded his head.

"Then it should not be a problem for us to take down Glimmer City, right?" Even though the force under Marquis Brook might be the biggest obstacle they have encountered so far. It should not be an issue for the Revolution army to defeat them as they had an overwhelming number, ninety thousand forces. On top of that, he was a Myth Rank and his twelve generals were Ancient Ranks. The seven Epic Ranks should not be an issue for them.

"We can but I am afraid that we will suffer not a small loss if we force our way into the city. We need to preserve our manpower until the battle against the main army, My Lord," General Ralph, a middle-aged man with a thick beard, voiced his opinion.

"You are right about that as well but we can't let them unite with the main army as well. That will just make them stronger. We have to defeat them and absorb their force to be cannon fodder to fight against the main army," Julius Brent was still tapping his index finger for a moment before he came up with a decision, "Then, let's make our move. If thirteen of us joined the battle from the start we could minimize the casualty on our side. It can be a good warm-up too," a smile formed on his lips.

When he said that, no one objected. They could not wait until the main force to arrive and let them unite just like their Lord said or else the fight would just get harder for them.

"What about the main army, Harold? How long until we will meet them?" Julius assumed that everyone agreed with the decision to fight so he continued with the next topic. When Julius asked the main army, there was a change of expression on General Harold's face.

"From the speed of their traveling, we will meet them in three days or maybe two days if they pick their pace up…" There was a hesitation for General Harold to continue.

"What's wrong, General Harold?" Julius Brent noticed his general's hesitation.

"There's a problem, my Lord. The one who leads the main force is the Right-Wing Guardian and the King himself. On top of that, they are bringing seventy thousand elite knights. It seems the Royal Family has been training their armies in another dimension and hiding them there as well," General Harold said with a concerned tone.

They had been keeping a watch on the Kingdom's force. A hundred and twenty thousand armies. That was the information they got hence they dared to make their move prematurely. They did not expect that the kingdom would hide their force in another dimension. An additional seventy thousand elite knights were no joke.

"We have expected the Right-Wing Guardian and the King would make their move but we don't expect that they would have additional armies," Julius Brent rubbed his chin, "But we have made our preparation as well, so there's no need for you to worry, General Harold,"

"What about Warmir's movement? Has Commander Allan made their move yet?" Julius asked about the southern border situation. Since the Revolution Army made a big movement like this, The Kingdom of Warmir should have known about this, and he expected them to make their move as well.

"They exchanged a small skirmish but Commander Allan does not try to invade the southern border," General Harold shook his head. Things did not go in their favor. They thought that Warmir would take this advantage and invade the Lionax Kingdom but it seemed they would not take this advantage to attack the Lionax Kingdom. It was unexpected for sure.

"It seems we are on our own, huh!?" Julius Brent maintained his composure even though the situation seemed not in his favor. He thought for a moment and looked down at the table, "There's no choice but to call them now. The kingdom is not the only one with a trump card, it's just a pity that we have to use them now but if we win the battle against the main force, we might force Warmir to make their move as well,"

"It's decided, we will seize Glimmer City. After that, we will summon the Valean Kingdom's force and fight the main army. The King of the Valean Kingdom will take care of the Right Wing Guardian, and we can face the King," Julius Brent stood up and headed out of the room. The twelve generals followed him, they were making their move to seize another city.

Julius Brent immediately moved to his army and marched toward Glimmer City. He and the ten Generals became the vanguard while two Generals took charge of the army.
