o that rumored village in the wasteland…”

A barren wasteland could be found east of the viscount’s territory.

According to the rumors that managed to reach the viscount’s ears, a village was recently established there.

“Tch…that frontier village in Duke Albert’s territory!? But it’s just been established, so it should be impossible to accommodate all those people.
In the end, many should return back to us!”

The wasteland village in the outskirts of the Albert territory was left undisturbed, mostly because it was in a wasteland and people thought a settlement there couldn’t amount to much.

“W-we believed so, but…but the village apparently has developed at an incredible rate…in fact, rather than call it a village, it might be more apt to call it a city…not just any city too, since it has developed to the point that it’s comparable to the largest cities in the Albert territory…”

“Comparable to the largest cities there!? How can a recently established village do that!?”

“W-we don’t know…we’ve sent people to investigate, but none of them have returned…”

Some time later, the Dolz army was defeated again and again by the Frenco army.

Both sides had about the same war potential originally, but because the Frenco army now far outnumbered the Dolz army, such results were pretty much inevitable.

And after some more time, the Frenco army finally made it to the capital of the Dolz territory.

If Viscount Dolz’s side focused on the defense, they wouldn’t be defeated so easily.
However, given that there was reinforcement on the way, Viscount Dolz’s surrender would be simply delayed rather than prevented.

“Master! We must escape from the capital while we still can!”

“You want me to turn tail and run!?”

“Only so that you can have your revenge! If you fall here now, you won’t be able to reclaim what’s yours.”

“Ghh…very well! Viscount Frenco, don’t think you’ve won just yet! I shall have the last laugh…!”

Like that, Viscount Dolz fled from his capital along with his vassals.
As for where they were headed, it was the place that contributed the most to their lost: the village in the wasteland.

TL note: I don’t exactly know why Lord Albert is referred to as a duke here.
In later chapters, he’s still a marquis.
Maybe it’s just a way to let readers know that the public is told that Lord Albert is promoted when he in fact refused?
