A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 617 - 617 457 Helpless_1

?Chapter 617: Chapter 457: Helpless_1 Chapter 617: Chapter 457: Helpless_1 Kriolleiv had no idea what was awaiting him. By the time he led the First Legion on an urgent march towards the Bonn Fortress, it was already dusk.

“Thankfully, in case of any emergencies, we have not made camp too far away. Otherwise, it would indeed be troublesome.”

Gazing at the tiny black dot of Bonn Fortress on the far horizon, General Kriolleiv couldn’t resist voicing his sentiments. His face then turned solemn.

“Alright, I know everyone’s exhausted, but we must press on immediately. We must reach Bonn Fortress before nightfall. Carl, prepare to hand over the fortress. We also need to initiate modifications on it…never mind, we will discuss this once we arrive.”

Unwillingly, Kriolleiv sighed. In all his life, he had never fought in such a frustrating battle. But it seemed that no matter how frustrating, he had no choice but to carry on.

Moreover, Kriolleiv could sense a wave of despondency spreading among his troops. This was understandable. The First Legion, as the trump card of Herman, had not been on good terms with Prime Minister Stith and the Congress since Stith seized power. Many of the officers were extremely discontent with Stith and the Congress, voicing their complaints secretly.

However, their complaints were merely whispers in the wind, until the Fourth Legion rebelled and raised the banner of “purging the imperial court and punishing the corrupt officials.” The idea then began to take root among the rest of the First Legion. They saw this as a golden opportunity. After all, they had irreconcilable differences with the Congress. Since that was the case, why not get rid of these reckless fools?

This was no longer just a matter of internal discussion. At one point, the officers even collectively petitioned General Kriolleiv, but all their efforts were futile.

Now, the Congress was not only urging them to fight against the enemy, but also blatantly ignored their circumstances, forcibly establishing strategies. Frankly, those officers and soldiers who had no previous opinions were now obliged to reconsider their positions.

Who would willingly walk to their deaths, after all?

With such sneaky manipulations by the Congress, even if they managed to defeat the enemy, would the Congress show gratitude?

Kriolleiv was well aware of the discontent and turbulence brewing amongst his troops, but there was nothing he could do. So, he could only suppress his inner turmoil and focus his attention on the impending defense battle.

However, as they were about to reach the fortress, a messenger soldier suddenly rushed over.

“Ge, General…something’s not right…”

“What’s happened now?”
