Chapter 368 - From Speculation to Conviction...... Arriving in the Crux of the Matter
The t.i.tle is actually “推察から、確信／核心へ”, which would be “From Speculation to Conviction/Crux”. 確信 and 核心 are both p.r.o.nounced as “Kakushin”, so Author may be trying to make a pun?
From the results, the three-day war ended in our victory.
In any case, I can say it’s because of Sogou Ayaka.
Sogou also charged the following Sacrament army that had not yet reached the battlefield.
All on her own.
That said, it wasn’t a reckless solo charge.
It was more of a “preemptive attack” while checking the movements of the enemy reinforcements in the rear.
Giant Sacraments.
Medium-sized Sacraments.
Human commanders on Vysis’ side.
[Comparing the information obtained from that familiar, it seems like there are more large and medium-sized Sacraments heading in Jonato’s direction. In other words, among those “leftover sc.r.a.ps”, there might be those with real strength and those that are not. That being the case, it’s also possible to interpret that the ones sent to our side aren’t the primary forces.]
[……Fortunately, there’s a long distance between Alion and Jonato. The Sacrament Army heading towards Jonato would have to traverse the northern part of Alion and the vast Magnar territory. Even if they manage to cut through the Demon Zone, considering the distance between the two countries, it would still take them a considerable number of days. Considering its terrain, the Demon Zone isn’t suitable for the movement of large armies.]
From the report received from Liz———– according to the location of the Sacraments heading to Jonato.
With the speed of their movement, there were still a few days before they could arrive.
[There are reinforcements for Jonato from the country of that Mad Emperor child, right?]
[His brother should be heading to Jonato with the Mira soldiers that had been defending the Imperial City. This depends on the speed of the enemy’s movement, but considering the difference in distance, they will probably make it in time there.]
If things turned out well, we’d also have White Wolf King———- Magnar on our side.
There’s also the Drunken Sword Party.
We should have gathered as many available forces as possible.
[For the time being, I’ve asked for reinforcements from those I know of. The question here is whether Jonato…… whether Jonato’s Queen will recognize the G.o.ddess as an enemy when she hears the evidence provided in the smartphone……]
Here’s what’s at stake.
If we face trouble ahead of our path……
Those in Jonato would need to protect the Sacred Eye in their Royal Capital.
In other words———- We will need Jonato to stall for time.
A two-sided simultaneous operation by Vysis.
What that implies is already almost certain now.
The moment the Sacred Eye is destroyed———– Vysis will open the gate again and send the Anti-Deity Sacraments towards Heaven.
However———— As long as the Sacred Eye isn’t destroyed, Vysis wouldn’t be able to move.
The fact that they’re now taking a defensive posture is evidence of that.
That is the most optimum action for Vysis now.
To buy time by staying in the castle.
The gate can only be deployed in the same place———— the Royal Capital Enoh.
However, Vysis wouldn’t want Enoh to be left empty either.
Before she could send out her troops, it’s crucial that the essential Anti-Deity Sacraments aren’t crushed by us.
Therefore, if we reach Enoh with the Sacred Eye still undestroyed, Vysis must be eliminated.
Thus, we’re going to go there coming from the west.
