"Um... Your Majesty King Bach, according to that scout, no troops from any other empire or principality appeared during the battle!"
"And... and Baron Nalant won the battle with just over two thousand men..."
Seeing King Bach fly into a rage, the messenger grew somewhat worried.
But when questioned, he still recounted the situation truthfully.
At the same time, he thought to himself, Even if King Bach is fuming with rage, I'm a messenger His Majesty kindly sent. He shouldn't do anything to me, right?
Bang!
"Impossible! You're lying! You must be lying! Tell me, who sent you?"
"Was it the Blue Shield Empire or the Nock Empire? How dare you come to my royal palace and swindle me! Guards, drag this fraud out and chop him into eight pieces!"
Unfortunately, this scout had somewhat underestimated what the defeat of the Bach Allied Forces meant to King Bach.
He had become so enraged that he even began to suspect the man's identity, calling out to the guards by the door.
The Rake Principality scout shuddered in fright upon hearing this. He had not expected King Bach to question his identity.
He immediately took out the principality's emblem from his robes once more.
"Your Majesty King Bach, I am not lying, nor am I a fraud. Everything I said was reported by the scouts who gathered intelligence on that battlefield."
"Moreover, quite a few principalities and empires already know this news. I believe it should reach the Bach Empire in a few days!"
"You still dare to lie? Hurry up and drag him out!" King Bach remained furious upon hearing this.
How could he possibly acknowledge this news? If it were true, wouldn't it mean that the Bach Empire would lose all face within the alliance this time?
