Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Sermai Behind the Shadow
There is nothing in this village. Like the countryside on the continent and this era in general, this was an agricultural region that became the food supplier for the Savoy region.
But because of the winter that came earlier, not to mention if the impact of the mysterious calamity was calculated, they had many times the crop failure. Perhaps they still had reserves to themselves yet it was all snatched away by the mercenaries.
In the midst of Eugene's clean-up operation, he finally crosses paths with James and his army who are on their way back from the end of the village.
"Ah you are the infantry sent from the main camp right? I'm James and they're my army. For the rest, I leave it to you okay?"
After that, James ordered his soldiers to give their rations to the newly arrived soldiers. They would return to the tent and get a ration of warm food while their infantry companions would be on standby here.
This village is still very vulnerable. The entire mercenary army had indeed been wiped out but there was still another threat of attack from monsters. To raise their morale, James decided to give them an extra ration. After all, his soldiers did not mind about it.
"Then, congratulations on duty, soldier! May luck and salvation be with you!"
After saying that, James and his soldiers immediately returned to their camp.
"It's okay.try if our captain is as good as he is. Maybe we'll.. ouch!"
"Had spoken enough. Let's continue our work."
With that, they continued the sweep of the village that charged at them.

In the center of the Savoy region, Gram listened to the reports of his subordinates getting information from the scouts. They were secretly observing the movements of the royal army.
"Captain indeed. And what's more, they defeated 10,000 mercenaries with just 2,000 troops."
2000!? Gram swallowed his saliva. That's so impossible! Their difference in strength reached 1:5.
But in the end Gram thought. They dare to conduct a military campaign in the middle of winter where their visibility is limited due to a falling snowstorm. In conclusion, they are ready for this.
"We can't just stay quiet. Send troops to ambush the enemy. It might seem futile, but at least reducing the number of enemies still affects their morale."
Gram had rounded up his resolve from the start. He does not want his homeland to be trampled, plundered, and plundered. Therefore, whatever the price he has to spend, Gram will defend the Savoy territory to the point of ending blood.

While in the Savoy region tensions were about to peak, the Savoy Arc was on its way to the Northern part of the empire. Of course, he participated in the suppression of the rebels there.
"Squeaky. Though the emperor has finished off the Royalty Family that previously ruled in the kingdom that we have captured. Even if they survived, they had fled to a distant continent. Then who lit the fire of rebellion there?"
Spies have been sent to captured territory to track down and kill anyone with links to a potential insurgency. But they could not detect those people at all.
Arc Savoy did not know that not far from his wialyanh, someone had grinned in the shadows.
