Chapter 685: The Sunfire Kingdom

Revolution Army's main camp

"What? We lost Braum City!? How is this possible? The Lionax Kingdom's main force is right ahead of us, and we have Ulrick there. A mere noble house will not be able to capture Braum City!" Julius could not believe what he heard from his subordinate's report.

Braum City was so important to the Revolution Army as the city was the source of his army provision. He put Ulrick, the second Myth Rank Knight, from his side to guard the city with twelve thousand armies. Braum City should be safe as long as the Lionax Kingdom did not send their main army there.

"I am not sure, My Lord. We lost contact with Ulrick and our people in Braum City. We have sent two groups to check up on the situation, but no one returned." Stan shook his head as he was not sure either what happened within Braum City. He was sending a message, asking for more supplies. However, the messenger never returned, the supply never came, and he sent a group to check.

Even after almost twenty hours, there was no response from Braum City. He assumed the Lionax Kingdom had captured the city back, and he immediately reported this to Lord Julius. Braum City was their source of food for their armies as the food there was enough to feed their army for two months. That should be enough until the end of the war, but they would get screwed if they did not capture the city.

"Is it possible for Ulrick to betray us, My Lord?" Stan could not help but think so. He had the same thoughts that Braum City should be safe unless the Lionax Kingdom's main force attacked the city. However, it was not possible for the Lionax Kingdom to do that since they were currently fighting. The only possibility was that Ulrick, the one who was in charge in Braum City, betrayed the Revolution Army.

Julius furrowed his brow as it was indeed a possibility. However, he remembered Ulrick's past, and there was no way for that to happen. Something else must happen in Braum City, 'But what?'.

At this moment, someone entered the room. Julius looked up, and the frown disappeared from his forehead as he smiled and got up from the chair. He approached the man within the black armor and greeted him respectfully. "Good evening, Sir Powan. I wonder what made Sir Powan come here?"

The man called Sir Powan nodded his head in response and looked at Stan. The latter bowed his head and left the room. Stan was aware that Sir Powan wanted to talk with Lord Julius alone, so he left on his own. When he left the room, he closed the door and told the guards at the door to leave.

Sir Powan was coming from the Sunfire Kingdom from another world. The force that Lord Julius invited to help them fight the Lionax Kingdom. Sir Powan was one of the five Great Generals of the Sunfire Kingdom and was the Legend Rank Warrior. That was why Lord Julius acted courteously around Sir Powan. They were relying on Sir Powan to fight off against the two Guardians of the Lionax Kingdom.

Meanwhile, inside the room, as soon as Stan left, Sir Powan looked toward Julius and asked. "You seem troubled, Sir Julius. What's wrong?" The latter let out a sigh and replied to the Primordial Rank Warrior what happened to Braum City. "Sir Powan has a sharp sense." Julius nodded his head. "We lost contact with Braum City, the key piece and strategic city for us…." He told Sir Powan how vital the city was for them.

"I see…." Sir Powan nodded his head after hearing everything from Julius. "This is a problem, especially with our reinforcement which will arrive in two weeks at the fastest and two months at the latest." The current situation was that the Revolution Army was holding back and minimizing their movement after encountering the Lionax Kingdom's main army.

The Lionax Kingdom's Left Guardian and Right Guardian were Legend Rank Knight, and Sir Powan could not handle the two at the same time. They exchanged small skirmishes from time to time, but they never went all out. Now their source of food was cut off, and they could no longer maintain the current situation.

"Of course, we still have food from the other cities, but those provisions can only maintain our army for two weeks at most. Do you think Sir Esien and Sir Vandim can arrive in two weeks, Sir Powan?" Julius asked in a hopeful tone. The two names he mentioned were two of the Five Great Generals of the Sunfire Kingdom and also Legend Rank, just like Sir Powan. The reinforcement was their winning condition.

"Hmmmm…" Sir Powan considered Julius' words and shook his head. "I am not sure, Sir Julius. They are still on their mission when you notify us. This is too early to the scheduled time you told us, so I can't give you an answer for that. As for the food, maybe we can try to capture Braum City back."

"Of course, we have to capture Braum City back. I have sent my men to investigate what happened to Braum City, and the result of the investigation will come tomorrow morning at the fastest." Julius nodded his head. "However, I am considering our option as I am afraid that if the culprit is the Lionax Kingdom, they will burn our provisions in Braum City and kill our army slowly."

"But you said it. Unless the Lionax Kingdom sent their main force, it would be hard to capture the city. We are keeping in check on the Lionax Kingdom's main force, so the culprit should not be them." Sir Powan leaned his back against and closed his eyes. "Can you tell me more about the land around Braum City? Is there another force that may interfere with our fight? Is it possible for Malecia to take the city from us?"

"I don't think Malecia is involved with this. The Malecia Kingdom is located to the north of the Lionax Kingdom. If they want to invade the Lionax Kingdom, Aram City will be the first city they attack. Second, the more chaos happened within the Lionax Kingdom, the more advantageous for them. So they will not help the Lionax Kingdom to attack us. Malecia wants us to fight against the main force instead of crippling our force." Julius reasoned why it was impossible for the Malecia Kingdom to be involved with the Braum City issue.

"That makes sense. They want us to destroy each other with the Lionax Kingdom's main force, so they will not do that." Sir Powan nodded his head. "Then is it possible for this man named Ulrick to betray us and side with the Lionax Kingdom instead?"

"That's not possible as well. Ulrick is part of the fallen noble, the victim of the Lionax Kingdom's Royal Family. They executed his family, so there's no way Ulrick betrayed us. He is the person that wanted the most for the Royal Family's destruction." Julius also denied the possibility.

Sir Powan accepted the reason and thought of other possibilities. "What about the force around Braum City? Is there any strong force around that area?"

"Strong force around Braum City?" Julius never considered this before since no force ever caught his attention, but one. "There's one, actually. Gigante Forest, the land of the beasts and the foreign races. Gigante Forest is stronger than the three kingdoms, but the force inside the forest is not united and structural like the kingdom. The three Kingdoms agreed not to invade the forest after they failed to invade the forest years ago as they were afraid that the forest would unite and fight them back. But like I said unless we invade their territory, the force inside the forest is not united."

"Wait…." Suddenly Julius remembered a name, the name he almost forgot crossed his mind once again. The master he betrayed, Alton, entered the forest after he took over the Revolution Army, and he never heard anything again about his master afterward. "If it's my Master, then it's possible for them to capture the city. I think we know what we face, Sir Powan."

Julius recounted anything about his Master to Sir Powan, anything he knew about Alton.

"I see, using the force of the forest to make a comeback. This is troublesome since your Master is also even Legend Rank. If the enemy is just Primordial Rank, I can travel there and capture the city as fast as possible, then return to my post. However, it's not possible to do that if the enemy is also Legend Rank." Sir Powan looked at Julius and added. "Capturing Braum City back is out of options, Sir Julius. I can't leave my post too long, and if the Lionax Kingdom finds out about my absence, we will lose the city we have defended for two weeks. It's not worth the risk at all."

"I understand, but to make sure, I will send a group of experts to scout the city. If it's my Master the cause we lost Braum City, we will think of an alternative plan about the provision." Julius agreed with that as they were relying on Sir Powan to defend their frontline.

"If you really don't have a way to get the provision. You can contact Prime Minister Arjen, and he may help you with that." Sir Powan shared his idea. That was the man who handled the negotiation between him and the Sunfire Kingdom. The cunning old man that had taken a lot of advantage of him, the last person Julius wanted to meet in this situation.. Of course, Julius was still nodding outside, giving Sir Powan a nod.
