Chapter 3: A Trap for a Trap

That day, a runner arrived at the Rhoadserian capital of Pireas to deliver a surprising report on the events that transpired near the southern city of Heraklion. When the runner knocked on Mikhail Vanash’s office door, still catching his breath, Mikhail raised his head unpleasantly. After all, the captain was currently running all affairs in the castle.

He received all manner of paperwork, much of which didn’t pertain to the northern subjugation, forcing him to work day and night. So he knew that any urgent report from Heraklion couldn’t be good news.

Probably a report about them having trouble gathering the supplies we ordered, he thought.

Mikhail knew that the demands he made of them were excessive. He had asked them to gather enough food to feed an army of two hundred thousand soldiers and other necessary supplies. While the Heraklion region was fertile land known as Rhoadseria’s breadbasket, even it had a limit for how much food it could procure. It would have been another story if they had gathered this food over some time, but on such short notice, they had to resort to forceful measures.

Still, if the northern subjugation army lifted itself out of its predicament, it would have to go the distance and make painful decisions.

At worst, we may have to deploy units from the capital too.

But the fact Mikhail had that thought cross his mind was optimistic of him. He assumed that southern Rhoadseria was far from the front lines of this civil war, so any problems there couldn’t amount to anything of major importance.

The moment Mikhail read the report, he felt the blood drain from his face.

“Impossible... Is this report true?”

As he examined the report again, Mikhail’s hands trembled as its content was alarming. After reading over it a few more times, he realized he didn’t misunderstand anything and threw his black-rimmed glasses over the table.

This pair of glasses was one he bought after his house arrest ended following the previous civil war, when the O’ltormean Empire invaded Xarooda. He had done so as an attempt to broaden his interests and horizons beyond just swordplay.
