I Am No King's

Chapter 279 – Conditions of War

"That information has reached your ears?"

"Gin," Ibla interrupted. "I got word that this information is not only circulating in intelligence circles, but also in the military. And, I think, sooner or later this information will spread to the police and the royals."

"...seriously?"

"Ibla's right." Zortac nodded. "This rumor has spread among the military. Looking from the speed with which this information was circulating, I can guess that someone had deliberately leaked it. And, looking at your response, I concluded you're not the mastermind behind it, are you?"

Wasn't it! I'm not the mastermind behind the spread of this information!

In hindsight, the one who might have given the order to leak this information on purpose was Yuan. However, he is my assistant. He wouldn't just leak this information. The only person that crossed my mind was–

"Emir." I patted the forehead. "Emir who is already emotional is getting emotional because it is sick. Yeah, I can't blame him anyway. Right now, it seems, she really holds a grudge against her mother."

Ibla. "According to rumors, this visit was the idea of Empress Rahayu. And it just so happened that the top military officers in the capital did not see anything wrong with the idea, they made this request to you. You already know this, right?"

I'm nodding.

"I'm sorry Gin if my men in the field see you with pity and pity. They must have guessed that your presence here was an attempt by the empress to separate you from your two future wives."

Honestly, I don't know if I should be happy or sad about this. On the one hand, I am happy to have sympathy and support on my side. On the other hand, now, everyone knows about the dispute between my future wife and my future father-in-law.

We're in the middle of a war! Don't take family drama to war!

"Alright, let's ignore that information for now. Even though I've read the reports about the progress of the war, I'd like to hear them directly from you."

"Good,"

Zortac began to explain the conditions on the Front Mein. In the beginning, the Mein Front was the most dangerous front. However, as time went on, the war front began to spread. In the west, the war front against Nina spread, following the Kharier river. In the east, the war fronts against Mariander followed the Or'ait river. Meanwhile, north of Lake Mein, there is a war front between Mariander and Nina along the Osier river.

The defensive line on the Or'ait river had already advanced, moving north. The war fronts along the Osier River have also moved east. The defensive lines on both fronts had been in the Mariander region. This happened because Mariander was attacked from two directions.

To fight Nina, Bana'an could only send air and ground forces. Every now and then, the navies in the lake participated, but the numbers could be ignored. This also happened when Nina sent an attack to Bana'an.

On the other hand, Bana'an and Nina could both send full force against Mariander, the army, air, and sea. While Bana'an sent warships by sea east of the Ziggurat continent, Nina attacked from the north. Since the Bana'an did not send a navy to Nina, neither could the two kingdoms deploy an entire war fleet to Mariander.

Mariander, who was in naval contact with Nina and Bana'an, had to divide his naval power north and east. And, of course, half of Mariander's naval military might could not keep up with the entire Nina and Bana'an fleet.

The Bana'an and Nina navies not only destroyed Mariander's navy, but also sent missiles inland, destroying military bases along the border. The Marianders could not do this because their navy only had half the strength to fight the Bana'an and Nina on both sides. Indirectly, Bana'an and Mariander seemed to work together to attack Mariander.

Then, there was an additional factor that made the Mariander defensive line continue and continue to retreat. It was a control weapon. Of the three warring kingdoms, only the Mariander military had no access to the control-removing weapons. In fact, worse, the control-busting weapons in the Mariander region fell into the hands of the Revolutionary, True One.

Things are pretty bad for Mariander. At this point, it would be better for Mariander to surrender to Nina or Bana'an and unite to attack the enemy. And, actually, Mariander had also tried this move. Unfortunately, this is always prevented.

In order to prevent the opponents from allying and attacking, the Intelligence Bana'an and Nina continued to launch sneak attacks. When Mariander's envoys attempt to meet Bana'an, Nina's intelligence will intervene and launch an attack, thwarting the meeting. The same will be done by Bana'an intelligence when Mariander tries to meet Nina. This, of course, made things worse for Mariander.

It's just a matter of time until Mariander surrenders unconditionally through television broadcasts. Giving up unconditionally has both positive and negative sides. Mariander surrendered to Bana'an. When this happens, Bana'an can pass through the Mariander area to reach Nina. In addition, Mariander's military will also get help from Bana'an.

The negative side of this is that Mariander must follow all of Bana'an's wishes. Some of them, for example, the Mariander government system will be reconstructed by Bana'an. Mariander's military will get the same thing. Mariander's army will be scattered and put under Bana'an's military. And, in the end, Mariander was no longer a kingdom, but only a territory under the Bana'an.

The same would happen if Mariander surrendered to Nina. Although not giving up and continue to fight until the last blood point, the ending of Mariander will not be better. Mariander's territory will be divided, partly into Bana'an's, partly Nina's. In other words, no matter what step Mariander chose, the kingdom would disappear from the map.
