In forest situated on the border territory of Wildwood a huge army 35000 thousand soldiers can be scene marching Rapidly.
And Leading the army from front is Duke Elmsworth. By his side a young man that goes by the name Evander can be seen laughing and talking With his father
"Father We have such a huge army surely that kid will Just surrender by the sound of our army marching ."
Duke Elmworth looked at his Son and smiled "Yes I think it's better for him to surrender after all.he is going to loose anyway. "Suddenly a voice interrupted the father and Son duo.
"My Lord from the reports we received it is said that brat has started to build forts. I think we should be little careful. "General Gabriel tried to warn the Duke.
At these time cavalry commander Jack can be heard laughing" lord Gabriel why are you so scared. "
Evander also jabbed at Gabriel " fortune favours the bold lord Gabriel and We should be bold and Swift, And I don't think even if That marquis builts 2 to 3 forts it will not change the outcome. "
As these discussion was taking place The Duke army has entered the territory of Wildwood. They were marching vigorously, but soon a scout can be seen Hurrying towards the Duke ,he was tensed up.
"My Lord , My Lord" the scout quickly saluted the Duke and with grim face reported.
"My Lord there is a huge fort on a hill. "
"Yeah so what It's Just one fort "Evander Replied.
"That's what we also thought my Lord but as Our scouting party entered the enemy territory deeper we found there are total Five small forts behind that fort."
"And some of our Scouting team members which managed to bypass the attacks from this fort and entered deeper into enemy territory found out that aside from some hills many of these forest have forts these forts are spread out It's like net of a spider. "
"Duke and Othere Generals where surprised".At these news before the invasion they have been receiving reports that many forts are being built in marquis territory.
But they did not care much as they thought that brat like Victor can order to build 2 to 3 forts near the border as He might be scared of his uncle king Theo... Who will get angry .
"What should we do" Gabriel quickly asked meanwhile Jack said" so what if he had built forts we will still invade". Soon both of them started arguing.
Meanwhile Evander was quit he was looking at his father.
Duke Elmsworth Shouted "Enough you two we will still invade we will take down these forts And march towards Ebonwall.
Meanwhile as we are Marching start preparing siege weapons."
Meanwhile in his office room Victor can be seen reading a report. So they have invaded it's been only 5 months since his transmigration and he is already facing the first challenge.
As for in last 5 month the I myself took part in building the forts near our borders reason being I wanted learn about terrain Myself experiencing it and Also increase my popularity among people.
I worked with workers myself which motivated other generals and Soldiers themselves to join in I have also Spread rumors using spys in our territory against duke to defend our territory from invasions, or the Duke will kill pilage and loot.
Destroying the lives of people.
And when people came to know that marquis himself participated in building forts many people young and old citizens also Volunteered.
"So General Louis and General degmon is our army ready. "
"Yes mylord ".
"Yes mylord. "
"I hope my Plan will help us win these war . oon Duke will start the siege of our first fort. He will use his whole armys might to take it. "
"Issue orders To our Cavalry parties that are hiding near those areas in small parties to let him build the siege engines and Also to let him Make camp ."
'Lord degmon you will strike in the cover of darkness I hope you destroy those siege weapon and Also the main focus of our cavalry should supplies of Enemy burn them no matter what. "
"Make them feel hungry. And Tired. And Also after you feel that enemy is about to take fort quickly evacuate the fort and leave . retreat and join the other fort Garrison."
"But after you abonden the first fort do not retreat anymore and fight the Duke harasse his army constantly become his headache. "
"Only retreat when you will like the soldiers cannot hold anymore. "
"Let the enemy feel they can take other forts easily as well. Let them march more deeper in our territory and That's when we Will encircle them completely. "
"We will completely destroy there supplies they are receiving from there territory. "
Louis stood up and said "As you command my Lord "
Degmon also stood up" Yes my Lord. "
"As for me I will be soon joining you in the upcoming battles.. "
"Remember these let the enemy become cocky let them enter deeper into our territory then encircle them make them feel hunger and Exhausted ."
"And then attack...."
"Also Louis start spreading our retired or some infantry in disguise near the villages that enemy can attack in there desperation for food.there job is to not directly engage them but to burn the supplies when they get chance to. "
"But I think the Duke will not use that option early on because he knows Killing the people of these territory which have been extremely loyal to my family and The people he wants to rule in Future will give birth to hatred which will lead to Rebellions breaking out."
"Yes mylord" Louis replied soon both the generals left the room.
Sigh I am already exhausted the war is going to ravage our territory. Which won't be good and If in case the king dies civil war will definitely break out the only thing holding these empire together is that king.
Once he dies many other nobles will also eye these rich territory. And it's already happening I have got reports that Marquis Verquis his territory borders our Southern border and close to Duke domain has also joined the Duke raising 5 thousand soldiers and sending them along Duke Elmworth army
It's alright he will pay the price after I deal with these Duke I will pay that marquis visit with my army.
