genius prince vol 8 chapter 26

But you can. I have survived so far. I will pierce the west until the end.

(From here it's the real thing Caldomeria ...!)

It was when Wayne was so enthusiastic.

" Excuse me!"

It jumped in from a completely unexpected place with the messenger.

"The Cavaline army attacked the central continental city of Meertus! The Second Prince of the Empire, Baldrosh, has therefore raised an army to defend Meertus!"

The people present widened their eyes in astonishment. The people who were present looked at each other in astonishment. But two of them. The Holy King did not move an inch, as if nothing had reached him. Caldomeria had a bewitching smile on her face shock.

* / Chapter 4 "Meetings Dance"

Baldrosh, the second prince of the Earthwald Empire, is a man known for his martial prowess. He has loved the way of the sword since he was a child and volunteered to join the Imperial Army after he grew up. He is the most experienced fighter among the imperial family, leading his men to defeat a gang of bandits. He is highly trusted by soldiers, and many say that Prince Bardosh is the most suitable candidate for the throne. However, he was defeated just the other day. After a four-way battle for the succession to the throne, which began with the first prince's outburst, he was easily outwitted by the second princess, Lowellmina.

Although Lowellmina's coronation is still pending, the defeat has weakened Baldrosh’s centripetal power. The loss of men and supplies due to the civil war was no small matter, and the faction was rapidly weakening.

Baldrosh had to quickly rebuild the faction. It was strangely the same trouble as the second princess Lowellmina and the third prince Manfred, but the difference between the two and Baldrosh that the origin of his centripetal force is his armed force.

Baldrosh is strong. The army led by Baldrosh is also strong. That's why people get together. That's why they are respect him. That's why they are support him. The simple and clear composition was also good for Baldrosh. However, this was also the reason why Bardrosh suffered more severe defeats than the other candidates for emperor.

Baldrosh was defeated. The army he led was also defeated. Respect turned into disappointment and support fell into suspicion. However, if he tried to buy support with money, he would be called a coward, and if he tried to hold on to the hearts of the people with words, they would see him as a deviant.

Yes, a person who was respected by strength has no choice but to regain respect by strength even if he loses it.

(Necessary. We need a track record that will silence the people. We need someone we can take up arms against. But where...)

Baldrosh is in anguish over a situation in which he can see no light. It was then that a messenger came from the West.

"His Highness, we will soon arrive at Meertus."

In the words of his subordinate Lorencio, Bardrosh on horseback slowly lifted his eyelids with his consciousness. Lorencio's face and the soldiers moving in an orderly manner are reflected in the field of view. That number is about 3,000. It's his troops that managed to get out of the exhausted faction.

"... How is the city?"

" The scouts report that, Meertus has closed the western gate, and Cavaline has stopped attacking just by looking at it in a long distance."

"Yes ... it's as planned." Bladrosh Muttering, Lorencio was seen to frown slightly.

" Do you not like what you see here, Lorencio? "

" I am sorry to be presumptuous, but this kind of scheming does not suit Your Highness. No, but even so, this plan is a poison of sorts."

"That's right ... I think so."

A messenger from the west told him that he was under the command of Caldomeria. He then made the following proposal to Baldrosh. He would incite some of the nobles of Cavaline to attack Meeltus, and he wanted him to raise an army to defend it.

At first, Baldrosh didn't understand the other person's intention. But the whole story is explained, and he is convinced. For the Caldomeria side, this plan had two goals.

One is the obstruction of King Skillet, who is about to become a Holy saint. If the Cavaline side attacks the empire, its responsibility is serious. Far from being inaugurated as a Holy saint, it is inevitable that he will be denounced from home and abroad. How disturbing is the country, which is already lacking in cohesion? It will be a good mowing ground for neighboring countries.
