The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Chapter 504

The Fenris Territory had been constantly developing over the years. Numerous academies were established, child labor was banned, and enormous funds were invested into welfare policies.

All of these efforts were aimed at cultivating a powerful military force.

As a result, healthy young adults consistently enlisted in the army, and Fenris’s productivity skyrocketed.

The policies that had been aggressively implemented long ago were finally bearing fruit.

These same policies were applied in Ferdium as well. Ghislain had supported Ferdium, encouraging them to adopt policies as close as possible to Fenris's model.

Thanks to these measures, Ferdium had managed to gather a formidable force, one that would have been unthinkable for other territories.

Their military had grown to an impressive 30,000. At this pace, they could likely build an army exceeding 50,000 within a few years.

Simply storming in, defeating the king, and declaring oneself the ruler wouldn’t automatically grant acceptance.

After toppling the royal family, they needed to be prepared to govern immediately. They also had to secure the support of other nobles.

Only then could the kingdom move forward without fracturing in the ensuing chaos.

Given the dire state of affairs, gaining the nobles’ support wouldn’t be too difficult. The main issue remained the Duke’s house.

"Move the allied forces and the western army to the southern front. The moment the Duke's house hears of Ferdium’s deployment, they’ll act immediately. The northern army will merge with Ferdium’s forces."

The western region was being managed by Count Selburk, who, along with Fenris administrators, had stabilized the area and amassed a force of approximately 50,000.

Though modest compared to what could be gathered from the entire western region, it was a miracle considering the devastation the area had previously suffered.
