Bab 551: Chapter 324, New Kings' Council

In the absence of leadership, and under the condition that any attempt to band together would be met with assault, the once million-strong army of the Kingdom of Stefano fragmented into countless warlords of various sizes.

The largest amassed force, which once numbered four hundred thousand, accepted an invitation from the Panbos Kingdom. They headed to a region near the border, attempting a massive retreat.

But the retreat was stopped.

As they tried to cross the river, the ferries and the troops waiting to cross were subjected to a fierce air raid by the Wind Falcon; the troops on the opposite bank, waiting to provide support, were attacked by paratrooping elite forces and were forced to withdraw.

Then, facing a lack of supplies and the loss of all hope, the remains of Stefano's army, under the assault of multiple Armored Brigades accompanied by infantry divisions, ultimately had no choice but to surrender unconditionally.
