Lord of the Truth

Patriarch Brian nodded heavily, " It is natural that their talismans supply would end. We saw with our own eyes part of the enemy's strategies to increase the consumption of the fire explosion talismans and know how effective it is, The fact that they occupied 50% of their target before their talismans stoke ended indicates the strategically genius of both of them... then? What is the plan? Did you agree with them on something?"

"Yes, I have already agreed about the guide lines with both of them, We will attack the Middle Duchy, the Duchy of Harris, this will prevent any reinforcements for both sides and make the situation easier for Duke Galan and Duke Raymond," declared Robin and then added, "both of them will hold their ground for now and watch from the side as he cut through the Duchy of Harris, until they receive support from us"

"support? what is there to support them with more than engaging in the war ourselves?" Saint David asked

" Even when we take the Duchy of Harris of the Picture, they will still be in a hostile land with no talisman.." Robin reminded then continued, " they will need talismans to keep moving forward and take control over more lands with minimal human losses, and the support I was talking about is to allocate next month's output of talismans and Send 60,000 Level 6 Fire Explosion talismans each to help them continue their way forward."

Mila rolled her eyes at him, "Then just send them the 190,000 Fire Explosion talismans you already have as well and it will be enough, there will be no need for you to march the Burton army and invade the Duchy of Harris, actually if you kept providing them 120,000 Fire Explosion talismans a month they will be able to invade the Duchy of Harris as well."

Everyone's features froze, actually, they thought of this the moment Robin mentioned the matter of attacking the duchy of Harris, but they kept their mouths shut because they also understood Robin's true intentions

Robin looked at her with a confused look, "Who the hell told you that I'm running a charity here?!"

The Bradleys and the Altons are not his subjects, they didn't swear on an oath tablet to follow the Burtons like the Rufus family did

In his eyes, they are temporary allies, and might even say *respectable rivals*

So why would he keep feeding them hundreds of thousands of Fire Explosion talismans?

why would he add more fame and military achievements under their name?

why would he give them more lands when he can take it himself?

when everything is over and the two families enjoy their moment of fame and power, and it's time to demand repayment, how much of these lands will the two families be willing to give him?

Robin has already made up his mind when he first heard about the situation of the two Dukes

'I won't go and beg them to give me my share after the war ends, I will go take it myself...

'I don't need them, they need me... It's time for the Burtons to shine, It's time for ME to shine!'

Also... This might be his last time leading the Burton army, he might as well make it worth remembering.

"tsk~ a wolf in a sheep's skin" Actually, Mila understood his intention about wanting a bigger share from the start, but she just didn't like the act that he was doing it out of love and honor

"Ahem... still, You will give them a total of 120,000  Fire Explosion talismans and that isn't a small amount…" spoke the patriarch in a low voice, "Not long ago you took from Duke Galan about 15% of his old land and from Duke Raymond about 30%, in return you only gave them 60,000 Fire Explosion talismans! and now we will use our own army as well to help them take the Duchy of Harris out of the equation, I hope you thought well about this"

"There were other aspects of the agreement that day that included many more details, Why do you degrade them in lands and talismans only?" Robin laughed, then added, "Anyway, don't worry, my new deal with them doesn't put us in a worse position than before."

"If that's what you are saying..." The Patriarch raised his shoulders and rested his back on the chair, feeling satisfied, this brat was better at haggling than him, if he is good with it then there is nothing he should be worried about.

Robin stood up with a smile, "Very well, if none of you have any more questions, then start dividing our troops into equal 3 armies, even the same amount of saints and knights, talisman, everything!

After we have eliminated a large portion of the main forces of the Harris family we won't face any huge disciplined army that requires our full force, we only need to move fast and annihilate the lesser noble families

and we shouldn't walk into their lands in a straight line and risk being surrounded like what happened with Duke Raymond and Duke Galan, we will enter the duchy from 3 points and eat it from below Up, I want every time I look back I find ruins and burned cities, no noble family should be spared to attack us from behind...

Please start the preparations from now, we will start the all-out invasion this week!"

------------------------

Two days after this meeting, the division of the troops into three armies equal in everything was completed

Then one of the armies, led by Saint David and had Billy with him as his assistant, set out towards the southeast.

and the second army, led by Patriarch Brian and his assistant Julius Rufus, moved towards the northeast

Their destination was north and south of the Duchy of Harris, but the routs weren't only passed on that, both their planned routes had many specifically densely populated cities,

There is one more reason for that, it was to cut off aid to and from the two neighboring duchies... leaving the Middle playground to the third and final Army to be led by Robin and assisted by Mila Bradley.

After another four days, the three armies reached the agreed launching points at the borders with the Duchy of Harris, and after communication between the three of them.. the green light for the invasion was given!

In the span of one day, the three armies stormed the borders guards of the Duchy of Harris at the same time and began attacking all the border cities!

In just a day and before anyone could react, the three armies had already taken control of over 10% of the duchy's lands.

Fear spread among the citizens of the Duchy of Harris, but not despair.

Because the war has been raging in their neighbors' lands for about two months, all the nobles inside the duchy of Harris have put their armies in an active state to prepare themselves for the attack came here too, and to send aid to their two neighbor Duchies with hast.

Right now, in every Marquess family, Earl family, a Viscount family, and even every Baron family there are standing armies numbering tens of thousands waiting for orders.

And the fact that the *stupid* enemy has entered with three separate armies gave them even more courage,

Instead of trying to gather a giant army from all the nobles to fight off the 320,000-strong army, now their forces can confront the incoming enemy alone.

Even if the incoming enemies are strong, they are still only 100,000 soldiers, how powerful can they be? even if they won against one or two noble families they wouldn't get too far!

Or that's what they thought...
