Chapter 372 A War of Attrition

When the war first began, Maximilian was patient, calmly waiting for the right moment. He had unwavering confidence that time was on his side. But that confidence had since crumbled. With each passing day, his anxiety grew, and his nails, which he had bitten down relentlessly, were now nonexistent.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! What should I do now?" he muttered to himself.

Maximilian never even considered the possibility of the rebels not attacking. After all, rebellions traditionally only ended when the capital was seized, the emperor dethroned, and the imperial family replaced. Most importantly, the leader of any rebellion usually harbored ambitions of becoming an absolute ruler. Such a thirst for power inevitably drove them to act aggressively.
