Chapter 74 The War is About to End

Thanks to Miss Ayre's efforts, the South Territory still did not declare independence.

But even that was enough, because her mere existence was enough to stir up everything.

The title and bloodline of the Duke of the Southern Territory are so useful.

But now, it doesn’t matter whether the South is independent or not, because the North of the Baratheon Empire has completely fallen.

The soldiers of the coalition forces marched triumphantly all the way towards the imperial capital and the rest of the empire.

On the hillside, Moon watched a large number of airships carrying countless soldiers heading towards the imperial capital.

It is estimated that in a day or two, they will be able to reach the imperial capital.

This speed is simply amazing.

But Moon was not worried, because he had roughly seen the Queen's plan.

At a time when Ai'er is clearly under the control of the Queen, the Southern Territory will definitely not go north. In this way, there is no possibility of failure for the Queen.

unless
Moon turned his gaze towards the direction of Anras City.

The prophet.

Moon believed that if there were any variables or accidents, it could only be him.

Because he was definitely the only one who exceeded the expectations of both the Queen and Moon.

The Queen probably only knew him as a person, but Moon still hadn't figured out what he was hiding.

Fortunately, he had never hidden his existence since he left the Lion Family, so that even a person like Moon, with no information or no relatives, could easily know his exact whereabouts.

He remained in Anras, the first city to fall.
-
In the Anras Fortress, the jester was also looking at the battle reports from the front line attentively.

Behind him stood the old Prime Minister Hassank.

"The Baratheon North has completely fallen, and the entire country is in great turmoil. You should be able to be promoted, right?"

The Fool shook his head and said:

"Enough is enough, but not yet."

What he wanted was for Baratheon and all the surrounding areas to fall into chaos.

But now it's clearly not, and he admits that it's enough for him to be promoted.

But what he wanted was the ultimate chaos that was perfect enough for him to directly digest the entire Sequence 2 potion!

"Don't worry, I don't want Queen Baratheon to live. But you should convince them to take out the sealed object of the Principality of Loman, right?"

"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to hold the young queen back the first few times."

In order to support the city of Grasse, when ground transportation was completely paralyzed, the Queen not only organized several air support and ground raids, but she even personally took part in the battle several times.

The closest she ever came was when she was able to see the fortress that guarded the northern part of the empire.

Once she arrives at Grass Fortress in person, the Six Dukes and the Allied Forces will probably consider giving up.

Fortunately, they were blocked back in the end.

"That's good. Can I see Him?"

"Not yet, my Lord."

This is what he just said.

After a burst of laughter, the Fool said:
"It won't take long. Once you start attacking the Baratheon capital, other places will definitely be in chaos."

“When the time comes, I will start to advance. Then, I will work together with you to kill this Sequence One!”

The old prime minister was not very satisfied with the answer, but there was nothing he could do, so he nodded and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, the jester still asked with some concern:

"How many prisoners do we have now?" the old prime minister said without hesitation:

“Almost half a million people.”

"Most of them are outside these two fortresses?"

"Yes, there should be about 410,000 or 420,000 people."

"They are all professional soldiers. Holding weapons is a threat. Are you really not going to kill them?"

The old prime minister shook his head and said:
"I know what you're worried about, but I can't help it. Both we and the Sixth Lord think that these hundreds of thousands of people are rare human resources."

"You know, these are all young and strong men. After destroying Baratheon, there are many places where they can be used."

"So no one wants to bear the stigma and infringe upon their own interests."

The Fool is still trying to win:

"What about sending them somewhere else? At least not here."

"You don't seem to understand how much this expense is. Please give up. No one wants to pay this meaningless money before something really goes wrong."

The jester said in confusion:
"But if something goes wrong, it will be too late."

The old prime minister shook his head and laughed:
"All nobles are like this, or rather, all people are like this."

"What about you? Do you think it's okay?"

"I think it's an acceptable risk and I've prepared for it as best I can."

At this point, the old prime minister said to the jester curiously:

"You are a prophet, and a high-sequence one at that. You can definitely make a prediction. If your prediction gives a warning, then I think they will definitely listen."

The Fool fell silent.

The old prime minister smiled knowingly and said:

"So your prophecy is also telling you that there is no problem, but you are just feeling uneasy?"

"I know you've paid too much for today, but you've also considered too much. Risks can't be completely avoided!"

The jester then nodded and said:
"you are right."

My prediction would not be wrong, I just couldn't believe that it finally went smoothly.

A small thing can be transformed into a great person. Who else can it be except yourself?
-
More than a month had passed since the sudden outbreak of the war, and the coalition forces of the northern kingdoms and the six dukes had also been besieging the Baratheon capital for more than half a month.

But this side has been unable to be conquered for a long time, and the eastern and western fronts are caught in a tug-of-war.

But no one is surprised by all this, because this is normal.

The north is the main fiefdom of the Six Dukes, the south is the territory of Westeros, and the east and west sides are directly under the royal family.

If these two places were easily captured, they would start to suspect that something had gone wrong.

And they did see a way to victory.

The Imperial Capital was indeed difficult to capture, and there was also a Sequence One Queen inside. But the other two lines were stretched thin.

Both the reports from the front-line soldiers and the results of their own inspections clearly showed that the soldiers on these two fronts not only had no experience of war, but also lacked sufficient training.

The reason why they were able to reach a stalemate with the coalition forces was entirely due to their strong fortresses and sufficient armaments.

Although the Baratheons also discovered this problem, they began to recruit veterans from twenty years ago to join the battlefield, hoping to make up for the lack of experience of these soldiers.

But this is obviously not enough. As long as they can deploy more troops in time, they can crush all of this immediately!
And they did.

Moon, who had already sneaked into the city of Anras, saw that the number of airships had obviously doubled and they were carrying more soldiers heading south.

Everyone who saw this knew that the war was about to end!
