Chapter 64

Barrett didn't share Aurora's optimism.

While he had initially been eager to go to the Southern Frontier, that was under the assumption there would be only Sandorian soldiers to face.

Now, with Westhaven's three hundred thousand soldiers pouring into llyrian and Simonton, and with Sandoria possibly sending even more soldiers, the situation had changed drastically.

The enemy forces now numbered around five hundred thousand. Meanwhile, Barrett's forces totaled less. than one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers. Combined with Rafael's exhausted and under- resourced forces, they only had about three hundred thousand soldiers in total.

Rafael's forces were now severely exhausted, with many wounded soldiers and a shortage of supplies. They were waiting for provisions on an empty stomach, so it was impossible to capture llyrian at the moment. They would have to wait in place for reinforcements to arrive.

Winter made the situation even worse. The Southern Frontier was harsh and cold, which was a severe disadvantage for Westhaven's forces.

The people of Sandoria, however, were known for their resilience in such conditions and could endure the cold with ease.

Given the disparity in strength between the two countries, this battle would be very difficult, especially if Sandoria continued to send reinforcements to reclaim the lost territories and take full control of the Southern Frontier.
