10 : 00 pm , Oscar marquiedom
Oscar was the son of previous imperial commander and after his father retirement ,Oscar father became the new baron
After becoming baron he was pressurised to join under Ravenfield territory but he wanted to be neutral and only swear alliegence directly to the emperor and that's why he was assassinated by Winston
This incident broke young Oscar deeply and he vowed he would never bow to anyone and take revenge , thus began his tale
He crushed nearby territories in just 4 years and claimed the title of count and by next 10 years he had a marquidom equal to dukedom of Ravenfield but a problem arise that was his rapid growth which made many people anxious and started viewing him as a threat
Another problem was Winston and the reputation of Ravenfield and to counter that he made a deal with goblin tribe and killed all the soldiers of Ravenfield including Winston and then he was just waiting for ash to create a reason for war
But because of recent changes his plans got delayed by six months and in this time Ravenfield once again became his equal and now he has spent most of his fortune just so that he can end this cursed family for once
Currently Oscar was sitting on his desk and viewing the reports of both Ravenfield dukedom and reports from the war happening in South between Magic empire and Atlas empire
It was estimated that it will take a long time for this war to end based on current situation and which gave him enough time to invade Ravenfield but the current reason for delay is that Ravenfield defence is too much effective as it was proved in the last war and if he made any mistake than it will be over for him and his marquiedom so he wanted to investigate weak point of his enemy and he did it in last 6 months that is they are weak in close range that's why to save time he bought rune formations
Rune formations are main advantage which knight use to counter mages as mages have extreme high powered spell and to defeat a mage you need to get close to it which is extremely difficult unless you are a level 4 knight and the reason knight are still on par with mage is all thanks to rune formations which mages considered weakness and mocked it in the past because of which a powerful runemaster cursed all mages giving them inability to use runes which later became mages biggest regret and knights main advantage
Runes can increase speed , defence, strength but can be used only by a group of knights only by using formation
And formations are expensive and one time use only that's why runemaster proffesion is the most demanding proffesion in the Atlas empire
And he was sure that with this he can win , this move was smart but also out of desperation because each day was important for marquies as each day he would have to give salary to mercenaries and day by day dukedom was becoming stronger
So the March to the dukedom began ...
2 hours later
In the Ravenfield palace
It was midnight and ash was looking out the window of his room and recalling the story he read till his transmigration
It was that leon was a reckless heir to a dukedom and his father was a duke but he disappeared leaving all his burden to leon , after leon become the new duke he starts training and make name for himself and even fall in love and when he was having a child , he gets in a conspiracy in which he and his family gets killed by his illegitimate son who was a mistake of leon reckless years and then he gets reincarnated with a system 350 years in the future as a boy whose name was also leon and he was banished by his parents
After gaining this territory from ash leon trains with his system and in between he plays his moves but ash only read till leon participation in atlas and magic empire war which is happening now and after that Ash has no idea what will happen now
Ash doesn't even know whether leon former dukedom is still standing right now or has already fallen because it's name or which empire it was from was not mentioned in the story till where ash read
" Knock , knock "
Suddenly the knock came in the door which was unusual since it was close to midnight but still ash went up to door and opened it and he found hans there
Hans was breathing heavily but still said
" My liege our territory is about to be invaded by oscar's army in a hour as reported by scouts "
I was shocked and without waiting a minute i hurried to the throne room and when i enter I found that like me there were all present some were still trying to make their tye and some were clearly panicked but upon seeing me everyone calmed down and everything went silent
Without caring for anyone I made my way up the throne and sat there and after some time said
" All my decorated officers as you may know the current situation , our territory is about to be invaded by the marquis Oscar so please gentleman use your brains and give me a brilliant solution to counter our enemy easily "
I used my calm voice , in past few months i learned what is it meant to be a leader and looking back I feel that my past self was dumb and immature
Silence continued for few seconds but was disrupted by a young officer named henry
He came forward and said
" My liege i think we have a advantage and need not worry as previously our army was able to crush those swordmaster and their army easily "
Another officer came forward and said
" My liege it is the proper chance to test battle tanks and crush them "
But he was interrupted by another officer named Adele who said
" No , we should use them as trumpcard and use artillery instead because they are similar to cannons and will not raise suspicious about our weopens "
Many officers began giving their suggestions and then it was decided that 1000 soldier reinforcement and a artillery unit with officer Adele leading them
This battle will be deciding the ruler of Northern region of Atlas empire
And all factions were looking forward for this legendary battle
