Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero's Friend-Chapter 232.2

“Do you think they have the will to fight? They already lost part of their will to fight, having escaped safely after being told by the Bain Kingdom army that they would not be pursued if they fled without weapons. Even if we sent them to those forts, they might simply just run away again.” (Deputy)

“But isn’t it more dangerous to leave such people here in Foan?” (Garrison Commander)

“I can’t deny that, but…” (Deputy)

This time the deputy in charge made a bitter face.

If those people opened the main gate of Foan from the inside to escape, there would be no way out of the situation.

The inhabitants of Foan were already upset because three forts had fallen in the blink of an eye at the beginning of the war.

The basic strategy of the Coltrezis House was initially to stall the Bain Kingdom army and buy time. Both of them understood the importance of this strategy, but there was a difference in the method of how they could buy time.

“To begin with, the basic principle of the main castle-branch system is assuming that reinforcements will come from the main castle or city. A fort that does not receive reinforcements from Foan won’t last long.” (Garrison Commander)

“But they can’t attack Foan on the same day they attack the forts. If the forts can hold them off for just one day each, it will buy us two days. Simultaneously, the Farlitz army will be able to steal supplies from the Bain Kingdom army…” (Deputy)

“I’m sorry, sir.” (Soldier)

“What is this?” (Deputy)

Their discussion was interrupted by a message from the soldier guarding the entrance gate of Foan city, telling them that dozens of Farlitz knights had arrived near the entrance.

Both the deputy in charge and the garrison commander looked in doubt.

“What are you saying?” (Deputy)

“That’s what the representative outside the gate said that the Farlitz Army has been hit hard by Viscount Zeavert…” (Soldier)

“What?” (Deputy)

Just as they were surprised by the news, a new messenger rushed in.

The expression of both the deputy in charge and the garrison commander changed at the report that a squadron under the banner of the Zeavert House was approaching Foan city. The approach of the ‘Demon General Killer’ was not good news to them at all.

“First, get those Farlitz knights inside immediately. I want to hear what’s going on.” (Deputy)

“Yes, sir!” (Soldier)

The messenger rushed off, and the deputy in charge and the garrison commander looked at each other.

“For now, Sir, you’d better put on your armor.” (Garrison Commander)

“Yes, I should do that.” (Deputy)

At the garrison commander’s comment, the deputy in charge left the scene. Meanwhile, the garrison commander went to hear what the Farlitz knights had to say.

However, he was quickly taken hostage by Baron Dhonyani and his knights in armor of the Farlitz knights who next forcibly opened the gates of Foan.

Following this, Welner’s division that included Zeavert knights, Baron Kvaernergel, and Baron Dhonyani army, as well as Earl Harfolk’s army, stormed the city, and they loudly announced that they have conquered the south and the western fortress, and have now arrived at Foan. This resulted in an almost bloodless occupation, taking away one of the most important cities to Coltrezis House.

The cause of this was because of the abandonment of the fort during the night after they heard of the army approaching, leaving the fort unattended.

This resulted in the fall of the second line of defense of Coltrezis House within a day.
