Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Prince's Murka
"I see.....Nicholas has reached the front line. Thanks for the information. You can go."
In the former Savoy mansion, Issac was receiving a report from one of the military intelligence officers. After receiving his report, he let the officer out of his room and left Issac alone.
'Nicholas yes. But he was also an arrogant and short-spoken person.'
Issac leaned his chin on his hands and turned to look at a large map on the wall. On top of his desk was also a chess piece with pawns spread over it.
"Then it may be time."
Issac moved one of the pawns. He did it as if he was competing with someone else. That's how the story is.

"Huh? The Heinz royal army is wandering around the walls? Their number is 20,000? It's ridiculous! It's an easy thing! Bring 50,000 men to bulldoze them all. Be sure not to let any of them live!
"Ah, I forgot. Let one man live. He'll be an important source of information for us."
With his leisure, Prince Nicholas ordered one of his men to intercept the royal army of Heinz who basically chose a smaller number of them.
Their difference in numbers was more than double. After all, Nicholas's princes assumed that most of the troops of the Heinz kingdom were recruited peasants and did not receive good training.
With his main army, he could even bulldoze them to the point of being depleted even if outnumbered. That is what the prince thinks.
Therefore, he continued his time hanging out without worrying about anything.
"LOWER SOLDIERS!! HOW DISRESPECTFUL OF YOU IN FRONT OF YOUR MAJESTY THE PRINCE!! DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT WE WERE SED...."
"I-I'm sorry, but something terrible happened! You ha-have to see for yourself what is really going on!!"
Although the soldier was frightened when one of the Nobles scolded him, yet he did not care much about it. Because the scariest thing happened on the battlefield. The terror that will make the rest of their lives filled with nightmares.
Prince Nicholas dejectedly left his room and headed for the observation tower. From there he could easily see everything that was happening on the battlefield.
And what lay before him was the most terrifying terror he had ever seen. There were tens of thousands of corpses lying headless before him. While their heads had been stacked into a pyramid.
"DON'T FUCK!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THERE!? CALL THE WALL GUARD COMMANDER AND EXPLAIN TO ME!!"
A soldier with excellent-looking armor and good looks was flocked to face Prince Nicholas. He knelt down and wasted no time telling me everything that happened.
"Pardon my presumption, your highness the prince. In accordance with your instructions, we deployed 50,000 men to intercept the army of the Heinz kingdom.
"However, after a while, all our troops were defeated! They easily defeated us by twice as many!"
'uh? Lose!? Why is it like that!?'
"I'm sorry for my boldness, your highness the prince. Their army looks stronger and more organized than we imagined. While our troops moved sporadically, they managed to destroy our ranks."
There is nothing left but anger in Prince Nicholas. Even to this day, he has not been aware of the mistakes he has made.
