“All troops, attack!”

“We will capture the fortress within the day!”

“Do not fall behind the other armies! We shall be the first!”

By Milton’s command, three substantial armies began a full assault on Fort Lientz, Fort Belluno and Fort Brunico.

Though they had already divided their total army and were indeed in the process of attacking the forts, this had not been a proper siege process. The Kobrook Republic’s specialized crossbows were much too useful in a fortified position, and attacking them recklessly would result in ally losses mounting.

Previously, the only time they had launched a full-scale attack was at the very start. After two of the enemy forts were surrendered in this initial offensive, the allied forces were ordered to only maintain a pretense of attacking the remaining three strongholds.

But there was no need for that anymore, as they began their siege in earnest with Milton’s command.

Jerome led a force of 30,000 to attack Fort Lientz, while Princess Violet led 20,000 to attack Fort Belluno. And as one expected, Milton also personally led an army to launch a full-fledged attack on Fort Brunico.

Precisely 3 days.

Fortress Belluno lasted the longest, but all three strongholds ultimately passed into their hands. When accounting for Fort Merano and Fort Bolzano that had been seized by Marquis Bologna prior, all five minor strongholds had now been captured.

Even as all this...
