Chapter 96: Emperorโs Audience 4
โI apologize, my Lord.โ
As soon as they had exited the palace, Philip had apologized to Luke.
โWhat are you talking about?โ ๐ณ๐ณ๐๐ฆ๐ค๐๐๐ป๐๐ท๐ฆ๐ก.๐๐จ๐ฎ
โWerenโt you almost ready to duel for me? I am sorry for putting you through that.โ
โWell, it isnโt anything unusual.โ
Maybe because of his past, the expression on Philipโs face was heavy and dark. His desire for getting revenge had been finished, however, he was still feeling uncomfortable.
Seeing Philip feeling down, Luke said,
โDonโt overthink it. Sometimes the leader of the army comes out to protect the subordinate.โ
Those words of Luke made Philip feel a little better, they were easy words to say, but it was very rare for the leader of the army to go out for his men.
Philip couldnโt help but look at Luke in a new light, and soon turned the conversation.
โBy the way, where is your assignment?โ
โWell, thatโฆ Torlot Fortress.โ
Luke had opened the appointment letter he got from Emperor Rudolf.
In the middle of the sentence was written โNorthern Army Torlot Fortressโ.
The Imperial forces of Baroque were divided into a total of five corps.
There were corps that guarded the East, the North, and the West, and of them, the side which had to fight with the Volga Republic was the Northern corps.
โDid you just say it was the Torlot Fortress?โ Philip asked.
When Philip heard those words, he was rather surprised.
Since the emperor specifically asked Luke to enlist, all the retainers including Philip thought that Luke would be put in a dangerous place.
But to place Luke in the Torlot Fortress, the ultimate place where the battle with Volga Republic happened!
โWhy are you so surprised? Is it a dangerous place?โ Luke asked.
โThe most dangerous place!โ
Although Philip had been wandering in the suburbs for several years, the rumors of Torlot were well known.
โAfter losing the border to the Volga in the war seven years back, the northern border had no quiet day.โ fre๐๐๐๐noัตel.c๐m
It was because of the interest of the Empire and the dreams of the Volgaโs republic war were preventing each other not to cross and occupy their borders.
Most borders of the two countries had turned into conflict zones, the most common and the most-fierce battles were done in Torlot.
Built on the riverside from the Volga republic, the fortress-like a dagger constantly aimed for the Republic, and too numerous aims to bring the other down.
In the meantime, there have been several instances of the stations being destroyed and damaged.
โDammit! That Emperor is surely determined. Then, your position?โ
โWas it the fortress Commander?โ
โThat is something we can feel glad about. The only time it is good to go there is if you can be the one on the top.โ
Even if Luke was young, the emperor couldnโt help but consider Lukeโs title, and his ability to defeat four Gigants all by himself.
Which was why he had given the full control and power of the fortress to Luke.
โThen, should I go straight to Torlot?โ Luke asked.
โNo, that isnโt how it is done. You need to stop by the northern command office and report them about it to the enlistment.โ
โIs that so? Then letโs go there.โ
Luke nodded his head and moved the wagon to the direction of Krom, where the northern Command office was placed.
