Once that eting with the duke was over, we left Vayne City.
For now, that foolish duke and his n served a purpose, so we would leave them be.
The next ti that we co back here, it would be to orchestrate the fall of this duke.
But there really wasn't a destination for us to go since there was nothing urgent for us to handle.
Or rather, there was nothing really urgent where there was sothing that I could exploit. If I were to randomly go onto a battlefield, there was no chance of victory for since I had to admit that I was inferior to every other general that was out there.
I just didn't have a good mind for strategy, especially when it was in the real world.
I might be able to do it if I could see everything on a screen and control them with a few clicks, but in the real world?
That just wasn't possible for .
So for now, I decided that we should head back to my territory for so rest.
To my surprise, I found that General Killock didn't resist this at all.
I had thought that he would be the biggest opposition to this, but it turned out that he was perfectly fine with this.
I really couldn't help feeling a bit suspicious when I saw him acting this way, but I didn't think too much about it.
As for the ten thousand troops that we had received from the duke, we took five thousand of them with us.
I had made Shadow Five and her group check them to make sure that these five thousand were actual refugees. Since they were actual refugees, it didn't matter if they ca with our army since it would be a better life than wandering around, looking for a place to stay.
If they were with our army, then they would at least receive proper pay and pensions for their families, so they were actually happy to join us.
The other five thousand were tricky, so I didn't dare take them.
While five thousand troops weren't really a lot when compared to the whole army, it was still better than nothing.
When we arrived back in my territory, I was surprised to find that the fourth prince was there waiting for .
The first one that I looked at was General Killock who awkwardly turned his head away.
As expected, he was a part of this.
It was no surprise that General Killock would help the fourth prince with this since in the first place, he was the fourth prince's man. But I was certain that General Killock wouldn't have been able to do this alone.
There had to be soone else who actually sent the ssage to the fourth prince...
It was soone who always hid herself and only ca out when she needed to.
Well, it wasn't as if I could do anything about this since I had already fallen into their trap. So at the very least, I should go and see what the fourth prince wanted.
There wasn't a single ti where the fourth prince just ca as a courtesy call, it was always for sothing.
After sitting down, the fourth prince said, "Brother Zwein, I've heard about what happened with the Vikal Kingdom army. I never expected you to not only take down the Midra Kingdom army, but also the Vikal Kingdom army. This has greatly helped our war efforts."
In the first place, there were four kingdoms that had declared war on this kingdom.
With the armies of the Vikal Kingdom and the Midra Kingdom destroyed, which were the two stronger countries, it would be easy for them to repel the rest. Though as ti dragged on, it would beco a war of attritions and one country couldn't compare to the supplies of four countries.
Especially since they were surrounded by these four countries.
So this war would be hard for them unless they took care of the last two countries.
When I heard the fourth prince bring this up, I couldn't help thinking…
"Does he want to go to another battlefield? Is that why he's here?"
If he really did want to go to another battlefield, that would be bad since I had no other places to exploit right now…
Even if I wanted to go, all that would happen is that I would be defeated.
But to my surprise, the fourth prince actually said, "After all of that, you deserve a rest. You should take so ti to rest up in your territory before heading out to the battlefield again."
I couldn't help looking at the fourth prince with one brow raised in surprise.
The last thing that I expected was for him to actually give a break.
In fact, I just couldn't believe that he would be here to give a break.
The fourth prince was a busy person, would he run here just to tell to rest?
There must be sothing off for him to do this…
So I narrowed my eyes to look at the fourth prince and asked, "Is that really all that you have to say? Are you sure that there's nothing else?"
The fourth prince actually jolted when he heard this before revealing a smile to say, "What else could there be? Brother Zwein, you shouldn't doubt your brother like this."
I shook my head and said with a sigh, "It's too bad that I do doubt you. If you have sothing that you need, you should just tell ."
The smile on the fourth prince's face twitched a bit before he said with a sigh, "Truth be told, there is sothing that I want your help with. It isn't related to the war, but there's a situation in the kingdom that needs to be dealt with."
As expected, there was so kind of trouble.
It was always like this.
The fourth prince continued by saying, "It's a situation that involves wyverns."
