Chapter 162: The offensive against the Republic(1/?)

As a month quickly passed, the war between the two nations reignited and intensified. Following a month of recovery, the Republic's army had impressively increased its number of soldiers to 620,000. Their forces were pushing human resources to the limit.

However, they still faced numerous challenges, such as equipment shortages. Despite insufficient production of supplies, the Republic continued to recruit personnel and grow its ranks.

The Empire, on the other hand, had raised its army to 300,000. Since most of the Death Legion had already been annihilated, the remaining forces consisted of 300,000 elite soldiers and cavalry.

The area around Sarden was secured, and several regions were occupied, resulting in the Empire capturing one-fourth of the Republic's territory. After spending a month destroying enemy militia and guerrilla units along supply lines, Urien and Bernard returned swiftly to rejoin the main army.
