Pseudo-Villaines

A Tragedy Before The Battle

As previously planned, Duke Cetner replenished his supply of supplies in the city they were targeting. In addition, he also decided to spend the night there, along with his troops.

Of course, this City was unable to accommodate 300,000 people at once. Finally it was decided by the elite knights, nobles, and elites to spend the night inside the city. The rest set up camp outside the city.

It's not that there's no problem at all. Instead, chaos ensued both inside and outside the city. All the soldiers allowed to spend the night in the city forced all the remaining residents to flee their homes, driving out and abandoning the residents in the streets.

Soldiers camped outside the city plundered the surrounding villages due to an acute shortage of supplies. the supplies brought by duke Cetner at once that were taken from the city were clearly unable to meet the needs of the entire army. This is what makes the looting happen.

The soldiers also made the remaining women as slaves to their lustful gratification. But no one cares. Duke Cetner didn't have time to take care of it. Commoners are not worth much anyway.

While chaos was brewing outside, duke Cetner was now standing in the mansion belonging to the city lord's noble. Accompanied by his retainers, they were holding a strategy meeting to execute their next move. A large map lay on the table.

"Tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun rises, we will soon continue our journey. We don't have much time. Based on the information I got, the royal family and Ankwicz managed to put down the initial attack. That means we don't have much time. We must not give them a chance to mobilize the troops.

"Therefore, I intend to cut travel time. At least, tomorrow the day after tomorrow we should reach the capital wall and begin the siege. Count Krzys, for details I leave it to you."

Count Krzys immediately put three wooden pins on the map and began to explain in more detail.

"We will divide the army into three parts. First I, Count Krzys, will take 100,000 men with me. Then the second was viscount Bogdan who would be in charge of 50,000 troops. Then the last viscount Casimir would command 50,000 troops as well. While the remaining 100,000 will be under the command of duke Cetner directly who plays the role of Supreme Commander."

Count Krzys took a breath and continued.

"We'll carry out a siege from three directions. Viscount Bogdan and viscount Casimir, each of you is in charge of the north and south side of the city fortress. Your job is to destroy the defensive forces that are positioned outside the walls while exploiting the weak points of the defense and immediately destroying them.

"While I will attack the front of the city wall. And his highness duke Cetner will be part of the prosecution along with the troops he brings. I hope you understand each of your roles and do not disappoint your majesty."

Viscount Bogdan and viscount Casimir put their fists on their chests and said in unison.

"We understand and swear that we will not disappoint you, your majesty!"

Duke Cetner nodded. He had just wanted to open his mouth when he and the others heard the screams of his soldiers. Before long, the screams of his soldiers increased. Quickly, the two bodyguards of duke Cetner immediately opened the door and intended to go out to see the situation.

But who would have thought, once the door opened, the city lord had been in front of them. Quickly, the city lord clutched their necks and broke them, leaving the two bodyguards dead instantly. Seeing this, everyone present in the meeting was shocked. They did not expect that the city ruler who was thin in stature turned out to have such strong strength.

"What the fuck is this pseudo...."

One of the nobles present was trying to question the actions of the city lord. But before his sentence was finished, his head was separated from his body. With a very fast movement, the city lord slashed the noble and has now stood before count Krzys.

But the actions of the city lord had given time for duke Cetner to use mana to use the [Body Enchancement] technique, Duke Cetner strengthened his body and punched the stomach of the city lord whose attention was fixed on count Krzys.

The fist was enough to make the city lord's body bounce and penetrate the Mansion wall until his body was thrown out. Not spending much of his time, duke Cetner went out of the mansion to ascertain the condition of his troops.

How surprised he was when he found his soldiers were being attacked by the residents of the city. He could see many of the townspeople who had been severely wounded by the slashes, arrows, and spear thrusts on their bodies, madly and persistently fighting his army that had sufficient training.

With knives, swords, wood, even household appliances, they continued to charge through his army mercilessly. Kill as many as they can. The new residents completely stopped attacking when their heads separated. It took 20 men to conquer one of them.

Problems don't just come in the city. Even what happened outside the city was much worse. They were not as trained as the troops inside the city, making the situation even more chaotic.

duke Cetner intended to intervene to defuse the situation, but undo his intentions upon seeing the flash of a sword at the end of his eyes. Agilely, he carried his huge body to dodge the attack. Unfortunately, his shoulder was hit by the attack so that it caused quite deep injuries.

"For such a big body, the speed you have is amazing. As expected of a stage four [Sky realm] cultivation, your abilities are quite amazing."

Anger rippled within duke Cetner's body.In addition to the mockery of the city lord, the wound he was on his shoulder could not be healed with his mana.

The city authorities again launched their attack. With such speed, he clearly intended to end duke Cetner in a single strike. But his efforts were thwarted by count Krzys who stood in front of duke Cetner while holding back the slash of the city lord.

"[Sword Enchancement, cross slash]!"

With a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to follow, the slashes carried out by count Krzys could inflict quite severe injuries on the skinny body of the city lord. Quickly he took distance. Count Krzys prepares to attack the city lord again. But beyond his expectations, the city lord pointed the tip of his sword at his own throat.

"Good game duke Cetner, count Krzys. I hope you like my gift. See you soon."

CRASSSHHH!!

The city lord smiled and stabbed his own neck. It didn't take long, he just died.

Duke Cetner who was severely injured was trying to stop the blood from coming out. With a rough breath and a weakened body, his mouth said something.

"What's really going on?"

That way, he lost consciousness.
