Chapter 380: The Night Before the March

Kreios is one of the many city lords in Greater Veranis

He might not be a great noble in the Veranis kingdom but he knew where the wind is blowing. The generals on the border that have the thought of resisting the Empire would not come to a good end.

To Kreios, the Empire annexation of Veranis would come sooner than later. 

There is too much division between the generals. Since they could not unite, they would easily be broken. 

Kreios could see that in a few months, all the territory of Veranis would be sporting the banners of the Empire

This is his thought for the long term of the fate of the Kingdom.

But that is not the only reason why he could quickly make up his mind to surrender to the Imperial forces of Vanheim.

One of the reason is that the city had no force to resist Aero. 

They have only ten thousand men that they could mobilize, most of them militias and not some trained force that could defeat a real army
