The Strongest Dull Prince's Secret Battle for the Throne-Chapter 622: Total Assault

Chapter 622: Total Assault

Total forces: 200,000.

The Allied Forces surrounded the kingdom's royal capital.

On the scene were the three generals William, Ansem, and Leonard.

Supreme Commander Arnold issued the directive to appoint Leonard as the head general, with William and Ansem as deputy generals.

And then...

"Begin the all-out attack!!"

With the command from Leonard, who was the head general, the conquest of the royal capital began with a force of 200,000 soldiers.

For some reason, the royal capital was shrouded in fog, and the situation inside was unknown.

Rather than sending in valuable aerial forces, Leonard ordered the siege troops to march on the royal capital.

However...

"The gates of the royal capital are opening!!"

"Call the siege troops to retreat! Cease the attack!!"

Something was happening.

Leonard, sensing this, attempted to pull back the siege units accompanied by siege weapons, but the enemy was quicker.

"A large number of fake beast soldiers are charging from the royal capital!!"

"Prepare to intercept! All aerial forces, stand by in the sky!"

The four-legged fake beast soldiers, true to their name, charged at the Allied Forces like beasts.

The siege units, by nature, were designed to attack defensive positions.

They were slow-footed.

As a result, the withdrawal was not in time, and some fell victim.

But the Allied Forces were not to be outdone.

"Cavalry, charge! Support the retreat of the siege units!"

The standby cavalry units were dispatched one after another, heading towards the fake beast soldiers.

The enemy's counterattack had been anticipated, of course.

But the numbers were greater than expected.

"There are many. At least 30,000..."

"If they were made the same way as the fake human soldiers..."

Leo began to speak but then closed his mouth.

Fake human soldiers and fake beast soldiers.

The materials for fake human soldiers were human beings.

What about the fake beast soldiers?

The answer was expected.

"It seems our bad feeling has come true, Miss Wendy."

"We were too late, unfortunately..."

Beside Leo was Wendy, the granddaughter of the Elf Elder.

Around her were also Elf warriors.

The place where the Elf village was located is a large forest that borders the kingdom's territory.

Until now, the Elf village had been pressured by the kingdom and was divided between pro-kingdom and anti-kingdom factions.

However, the kingdom suddenly changed its policy.

It pressured the Lechusa Alliance, a coalition of small countries.

By doing so, the kingdom semi-colonized the Lechusa Alliance, successfully expanding its military.

As a result, the anti-kingdom faction took control of the Elf village, and a warrior group was sent to the Allied Forces.

Wendy was their representative.

And from the information Wendy brought, Leonard had made a certain prediction.

"If only we had grasped the information earlier... we might have reduced the casualties..."

"There's no use regretting it now."

The information Wendy brought was that large-scale non-human hunting was taking place in the Lechusa Alliance.

The Lechusa Alliance was a collection of small countries. There were human countries and non-human countries.

There, the non-humans were targeted. Led by the kingdom's army.

Humans were targeted too, but the numbers were overwhelmingly non-human.

The Elf village was able to grasp this information because those who escaped fled to the Elf village.

The Elf village, which sheltered them, sent Wendy along with the warrior group to convey the information to Leonard.

What happened to the captured non-humans?

The answer was not revealed. They were nowhere to be found in any city.

However, it was predictable that if fake human soldiers were made from humans, similar fake beast soldiers would be made from non-humans.

How many lives had been sacrificed?

According to Ansem, the success rate of the drug was roughly one in ten.

Even if the success rate of the drug had increased slightly, the extent would be known. The presence of 30,000 fake beast soldiers meant that at least 300,000 people had been sacrificed.

Of course, there were more fake beast soldiers fought before.

The number would continue to grow.

Furthermore, that was only the fake beast soldiers.

"Fake human soldiers from the royal capital! About 20,000!!"

"...Aerial forces will cooperate with ground forces. Leave the command of the aerial forces to General William."

Compared to the number of fake human soldiers deployed in the cities, this was incomparable.

Even with the use of a diversionary tactic, it would not be easy.

While giving his orders calmly, Leo bit his lips until they bled.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The crown prince was sacrificing not only his own people but also the people of other countries to create these inhumane pseudo-monsters.

He understood that it was to win.

Indeed, both the fake human soldiers and the fake beast soldiers were powerful.

Even a force of 200,000 was struggling.

But even so.

Even so.

"What does he think human lives are...!?"

Such actions were far from the path of righteousness.

That's why the allied forces were formed.

Leo had heard about Prince Lucien's personality from Leticia and Ansem. He might be paranoid, but he's not foolish.

However, using fake human soldiers and fake beast soldiers was beyond foolish.

These were not tools that humans should wield.

That's why Leo was convinced.

"Come out... demon!"

Someone who doesn't consider humans as humans is not a person themselves. They can easily sacrifice people as if they were insects or something equally insignificant, and they wouldn't care if the country fell into ruin since they have no intention to govern.

At present, the kingdom was being led not by humans but by a demon. Leo was certain of it.

However, he didn't know the enemy's aim.

Was the goal to deplete the allied forces, or was there some other purpose?

Demons were powerful beings.

They could face an army alone and hold their ground.

Would such demons, each equivalent to an entire battalion, need fake human and beast soldiers?

It didn't make sense for beings of their power to require military strength.

No answer came forth.

But they had to fight.

"For the sake of those who have become sacrifices... we must defeat them for sure! Don't let a single one escape! We are here to make sure that no more sacrifices are made! We will end everything here!!"

Saying so, Leo mounted his black eagle-lion, drew his sword, and joined the battle himself.
