章節 94: Chapter 94: The War

After two weeks, both sides began to gather their armies again, and eventually both sides issued a general emit to mobilize their forces.

Meanwhile, the border villages in Franburg were quickly evacuated. As people tried to migrate to safer places, Lord Holger of Franburg ordered his armies to line up at the border.

Lord Holger's army was around 5,000, while Lord Wilfried's army was close to 10,000. War was imminent, and Holger urgently needed gold to fortify his defenses.

Of course, the easiest way was to seize the property of all Erntestadt citizens living on his lands, put them to work in collection camps, and take them as slaves.

Thus, Holger was able to temporarily increase his army, incorporating at least 2,000 men and bringing his total force to 7,000.

Before Lord Wilfried's armies set out, Sir Nicolas had received orders to capture the strategic point of Howenswerg Hill in Franburg.
