Pseudo-Villaines

Infiltration Plan

In fact, before meeting the main forces of the kingdom of Bucharest and the kingdom of Vilnius, the army of the kingdom of Dublin led by Prince Hans had suffered heavy losses.

Due to a sudden ambush by mercenaries hired by opponents, the Dublin kingdom lost at least one Baron, a merchant, and 2000 other joint knights.

Meanwhile, Jean executes all the remaining mercenaries and is captured. All his soldiers beheaded them, giving off an immeasurable sense of terror.

Not only beheading, Jean also stuck their heads in a wood and displayed them on site. Their headless bodies were left to them. Be a meal for the wild animals that live in the forest.

Jean left only one of them. She is a woman. The only woman in that mercenary group. Jean saved his life not because she was a woman. But her ability to know the intricacies of the kingdom of Bucharest and this forest was very useful to Jean.

Actually, if Jean wanted to, she could've let them go alive. But for what? If they return, they will not be accepted by those who pay them.

They will turn into bandits who will disrupt the trade routes between the Dublin region and the Bucharest region in the future. Killing them all at this moment was the best option Jean could take.

Despite the casualties, Prince Hans continued on his way and left the bodies of his soldiers lying there.

Along the way, the royal forces of Dublin discover a small village. In an attempt to escape his frustration, Prince Hans ordered his soldiers to storm the small village.

And there is no rejection. No matter even when the population had surrendered, Dublin's royal army still killed three-quarters of the villagers, looted their property, burned their houses, and piled their corpses in a large pit.

Jean wasn't in the action. He even sent a letter stating that he objected to the prince's actions. The result is predictable. How could they accept it, right?

When his soldiers asked him why he did not come along and forbade all his men from doing the same, Jean casually replied.

"There's no point in killing them."

He could have made the villagers a support force to sustain the needs of the war. Supply supplies for himself and his troops, build a defensive parimeter to prevent enemy attacks, and others.

Jean was sorry for their deaths. But regretting it now would not bring him any good.

While the nobles, princes, and merchants were busy partying, Jean ordered his troops to focus on resting after dinner.

"Not far from this place, there are three quite large villages. The village became a source of food supply for the kingdom of Bucharest. They have a fertile farm area. Each year, their crops are brought to the royal capital Bucharest, which is one day away."

In her tent, Jean was focused on listening to the explanation of a girl she had appointed as her navigator. On top of his desk, a piece of map was wide open, with a dot marked by him.

"In other words, conquering these three villages would cut off food supplies to the royal capital Bucharest while securing food reserves for the army. Not a bad idea."

But Jean realized that conquering these three villages was not easy. Although she had not yet obtained any information about the three villages in question, Jean was convinced that the kingdom of Bucharest had stationed their troops there given how strategic the place was.

"Picture the plans of the three villages for me. Make the plan as detailed as possible on this paper. Do it now."

The girl simply nodded and began to work on the task given to her. Meanwhile, Jean told the soldiers standing guard in front of her tent to call the 10 people she mentioned.

As soon as the girl finished drawing, the 10 people she called came. Jean immediately gave the plan to them and gave them special instructions.

"Go to this region and infiltrate into it. Dig out all the information about the number of troops stationed there and their positions. Report the information you get to me on a regular basis. Now, go."

Without saying anything more, they obeyed and left. This infiltration operation must be carried out immediately without delay.

"Mr Jean, there's a letter from the prince addressed to you."

The guards broke into his tent after Jean gave her permission. He read everything and nodded.

'Call from Prince Hans. I guess it's time.'

Jean got up and left his tent.
