Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Two months after the main army of the Grand Fulham Army departed from Kamark. With no attack from the Great Alexandros Empire, he arrived at the former capital city of Gran Fulham, now known as Alexandros's capital city, Tokio. The same goes for the separate riot police 30,000 who moved from the area of Winheel. He marched without incident and joined the main unit.

50,000 for all troops. This is not a great number to drop the Imperial City. But if it's just a number, the Great Alexandros Empire should be less.

Originally, the army of the lords, together with those of the dependent nobles, was about 40,000. Even if we increase it a little further, we expect that the number of defensive cities will be at most 20,000 and that of the Grande Fram Kingdom, even if we are also devoting ourselves to fighting the Fathiras Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Grande Flam believes this is why the Great Alexandros did not take on the field. It is not entirely wrong, but it is not a matter of troop numbers that the Great Alexandros Empire did not attack on the way. I thought that pulling in as deeply as possible would surely destroy the opponent.

At some distance from the gates of the imperial capital, Tokio, there are about 10,000 Great Alexandros Imperial Army units. This is an unexpected development for the Grand Flam Kingdom.

I thought I was going to decide on the castle, but it wasn't. And there are only 10,000 members.

But if your opponent is the Great Alexandros Empire, there's a reason why even 10,000 can't be guarded.

"... Heavy infantry, before!"

gun. This new weapon is a threat to the Grand Flam Kingdom. It is the kingdom of the Grand Flam, which boasts the largest continent in terms of cavalry strength, but its new weapon, the gun, was a natural enemy to the cavalry.

How to deal with the Great Alexandros Empire's guns has been thoroughly studied by the Grande Fram. One of them is to use a heavy armor helmet, a heavy infantry corps, and infantry units that are solidified with shields. The Grand Flam Kingdom has more than doubled its capacity in this battle.

The Heavy Infantry moves slowly forward while measuring the distance. It doesn't always look at the range. He had fought only once with the gun-armed Great Alexandros, and had very little surviving at that time.

"Shield, ready!"

When a certain distance is approached, put a large shield forward.

"Go forward in dense formation!"

With shields and shields, hiding behind them and slowly approaching the enemy. There is still distance to the enemy's front. It's going to get impatient, but you have to do this.

"... let go!"

A popping sound follows the voice of the enemy command. Almost at the same time, a shield carried by a heavy infantry of the Grand Flam Kingdom sounded kinkin and metal.

"Okay! Don't break the formation! Go ahead!"

Having prevented the first strike, the commander saw relief. There was also the possibility of penetrating even metal shields. In that case, it would only be a good target, such as a heavy mobility infantry without mobility.

A second shot from the Great Alexander Imperial Army also prevented the shield. Heavy infantry was effective against guns.

"Don't be impatient! Keep the dense formation!"

Heavy infantry is slow. But that's fine. The aim of the Grand Flam Kingdom is to prevent guns, because that is all.

"Release!"

The voice came from the Royal Army of Grand Flam, not the Great Alexandros. One beat behind the command, countless arrows soar in the air.

An arrow fired by an archer unit behind the Heavy Infantry. The arrow fired in the sky draws a parabola down the front of the Great Alexandros.

The Great Alexandros Empire fell into a mess at once.

"Release dense formation! Change to square!"

Following the command, the formation of the Heavy Infantry Corps changes. The united formation began to split into several squares.

"Charge!"

With the command of the assault, several horses jump out from the camp of the Heavy Infantry. It came in several groups and attacked the confused Great Alexandros Empire.

"Beware of attacks from the walls! Destroy enemies at once!"

"Defeat it! Defeat it!"

The Great Alexandros's army is completely buoyed by the onslaught of the Grand Fram Army, and there is no organized resistance.

The first match was a victory for the Grand Flam Kingdom. If it goes well, it is the momentum that it will be able to attack the castle gate as it is.

"Okay. I won."

King Glan Fulham, who is watching the battle on his side, is convinced of the victory.

"It's still the first match. It's not that we have regained the capital."

Frederick, the knight commander standing next to her, swiftly reproves the king. In fact, the battle has just begun. By the time the royal capital is dropped, the difficult battle will continue.

"I know. But were the countermeasures against the weapon gun effective?"

"Well, yes ..."

In response to King Granfram, Frederick Knight's Commander replied vaguely.

"... What happened? Do you care?"

"It's too fragile. Is it so confusing just to shoot an arrow?"

"Isn't that because you're surprised?"

"even if that were true……"

Shooting an arrow and assaulting a turbulent place with a horse is the way of fighting that can be said to be a common practice except for approaching with heavy infantry as a shield. It was mysterious that the soldiers, who were originally trained in Hou's army, could not cope.

And it is proved that Frederick Guard's question is correct.

Above the walls, soldiers of the Great Alexandros Empire, which had been hidden until now, line up. Hundreds of the soldiers, with their guns in hand, slid into the Grand Flam Army without hesitation. In your army, head to the rampaging Grand Flam Army.

"What ?! What ?!"

Surprising voices erupt from everywhere in the kingdom of the Grand Flam.

The bullets fired shot down exactly the soldiers of the Grand Flam kingdom, and there was nothing wrong with them, defeating both soldiers one after another.

"What is Alexandros thinking?"

The anger of the king resounds, but complaining does not solve anything. In the meantime, their cavalry is being smashed one after another.

That is not all. After being shot at their own army, the soldiers of the Great Alexandros, regardless of their formation or rank, began to attack the heavy infantry of the Grand Flam Kingdom, more like a mob than an army.

"... what is it?"

"No way, that ..."

The commander of the Knights of the Guard, Frederick, could not answer the king's question until the end. The rising anger made it impossible to speak.

"Marcus !?"

After seeing Frederic Commander Knight turn red and silent, King Granfram turned his question to Commander Marcus Knight.

"... I can imagine that it's not a soldier."

"So what?"

"I guess it's just that we've just put the poorly trained, just people on the battlefield."

"……What did you say?"

In response to the commander, Marquis Knight, King Grand Fulham is surprised.

"Third-nations could be slaves. No, maybe."

Here, Prince Arnold has stated his thoughts. That is correct. The Great Alexandros Empire has put third nations on the battlefield.

"I see. Did you use slaves as decoys?"

Commander Marcus Knight is convinced of Prince Arnold's idea. It's a cruel operation, but it's not unprecedented.

"... I think so, isn't that the case?-I've heard that with a little practice, a gun can be used by anyone, so you don't need a trained soldier as long as you fight with a gun."

This is the greatest weapon for firearms. You can kill a person simply by triggering from a remote location. Although there is a hit rate, the accuracy of a gun originally developed from the knowledge of Maria is known. It is covered by aligning the numbers.

"I'll give you instructions for withdrawal."

"Oh, you should hurry."

But this decision was slightly slow. The Great Alexandros Empire was still hiding the deep hand of the cannon.

Several heavy bass explosions resonate from within the Imperial City. Somehow, the members of the Grand Flam Army turned their gaze in the direction of the sound, but did not immediately know what had happened.

After a few seconds, the next explosion sound came from his base. Soldiers flying in the air let you know what had finally happened to the Grand Flam Kingdom. No, I don't know exactly.

"What happened?"

"It's definitely an enemy attack ... but it's not a magic, it's a new weapon."

Considering the king's question, Prince Arnold replied. It is not a sure answer, but there is no other answer that comes to mind.

"The sound certainly came from the royal capital !?"

Distance that cannot be magic. That's why it's a new weapon, but King Granfram is not in a calm situation.

"Anyway, I'm going to give up immediately.

During the conversation, the explosion sound continues to resonate on the battlefield. The army of the Grand Fulham, who should have been forged, is in great turmoil due to the power of cannons that blow people off the ground.

But before the withdrawal order reached the front line, the Great Alexandros Empire took another step.

Equestrians and infantry jumping out of the open castle gate one after another. The sortie of the Great Alexandros Empire.

"Keel! を Draw a horse! Sort!"

The moment he saw the Imperial Great Alexandros, he shouted out.

In response to this voice, Keel runs a horse in parallel and comes in front of the main team. Prince Arnold jumped on it and ran the horse at once. This is followed by Bandu's army and Prince Knights of the Prince of Arnold.

"... A, what is Arnold thinking?"

King Granfram was amazed by Prince Arnold's sudden sortie, but suddenly returned to me and shouted.

"... Maria seems to be sortie. I'm going to fight it."

"That woman ..."

Listening to Maria's name, she shows King Grand Fulham calm down. That's not to say reassurance. Maria's notoriety has reached the ears of King Grande Flam. Maria is the current culprit in the development of new weapons. In fact.

There is a lot of meaning to defeat Mary. He was convinced of the reason for the sortie.

"What will you do?"

"How many enemies?"

"Speaking of equestrians, is it about five minutes right now?"

"... First, remedy the army's turmoil, and then put a stop to Arnold's. If you're in danger, pull back hard."

"Wish"

The troops now led by Prince Arnold are among the most elite of the Flemish Army. If you can't win this way, you lose this way.

Maria is not an enemy general, but she is second only to that. If you take that head, you may be able to pull back the flow leaning to the enemy at once. King Granfram decided to bet on it.

◇◇◇

Prince Arnold's target is Maria, as inferred by Frederick Knights. If you're a Maria, be sure to try to make the final decision with your own hands. At the very least, Prince Arnold had read that way, and had been waiting for the opportunity since the beginning of the war.

As expected, Maria had been dispatched at this time, when the Grand Fram Army was in chaos. It may seem a bit early, but the target just sorts out. I can't help but take action.

"That's a unit called that woman's SS!"

Maria is leading the cavalry. The cavalry is a SS, dressed in matching silver armor. The official name is the Great Alexandros Imperial Army brave direct commander. Known as the Knights of the War Goddess. It's just called Maria's calling it around. In addition, the name of the war goddess, the name of Princess Olivia of the Merika Kingdom, is used.

"It seems that there are quite a few faces I knew during the school days! Don't be careless!"

Lambert calls attention. Lambert, who is always on the side of Prince Arnold, also knows about Mary's enrollment in school. Since they were targeted, they were all good people.

"I know! I'm going!"

When the distance between the two units is significantly reduced, Prince Arnold enters the chant while riding. It is suddenly superlative magic phoenix. A fire phoenix attacked Maria's Guard, ahead of the cavalry.

But before it reaches the enemy, it will be sprayed out, offsetting the magic she has cast. This is exactly what Prince Arnold expected.

Regarding magic, there is a part on the Maria side. Prince Arnold wants to bring him to a horse-riding battle at once. However, just as if not to do so, a lot of magic is emitted from Maria.

"Spread!"

Once they break the platoon, overtake the magic and gather again. The movement of these units has been repeated over and over.

The Imperial Guard is approaching. Arnold's anger is about to rise, as Prince Arnold sees Maria rushing to the front, but manages to hold down that feeling and stretches his arm to give instructions to the unit.

Just before the crash, the unit splits into two, and the Imperial Guard's horse passes between them. Before passing completely, the Knights of the Guard, led by Prince Arnold, plunges diagonally into the Imperial Guard's equestrian line.

Not surprisingly, the rear of the Imperial Guard disturbed the ranks greatly, and the keel-led Band ド ゥ squadron attacked from the other side where the horses were dull.

Maria, who had been rushing forward, turned around and returned, but at that time, one third of the side that had been cut off had fallen off the horse.

Furthermore, Prince Arnold's Guard Knights, who had been wrapping around, attacked from behind the reversing cavalry of Maria's.

Noticing that, Maria hurriedly tried to reverse her units, but on the way she was attacked by a unit led by Kiel and further divided.

Attacks of Prince Arnold's cavalry attack on Maria's guard who has been divided and stopped.

The difference in power between the two units in the equestrian battle is evident.

"Retreat! Instruct the Squadron!"

In a situation where she has no teeth, Maria gives an order to withdraw. The word worrisome is the term squadron, but now that hunting is a priority, Prince Arnold will try to chase the fleeing Maria.

However, a new enemy's hand has appeared to disturb it. They are soldiers who have no defenses.

"Slaves?"

The prince was immediately spotted by Prince Arnold. But Kangtai is not this unit. Appearing behind an uncontrolled slave unit, this is a well-armed unit. Fired a gun at a slave unit that was supposed to be an ally.

"If you don't want to die, slay your enemies! Come on! Let's shoot and kill if you don't!"

A soldier who proclaims the order of the slam. Nevertheless, the slaves, who are known to be killed if they disobey the orders, shouted at the Princes of Arnold.

On the other hand, Maria escapes backwards.

"The cowardly! Do you think the people are good to meet such eyes?"

You can't catch up with slaves anymore. It was Prince Arnold who shouted at remorse.

"Slaves are not nations! They are also residents of the former capital city. They are citizens of the Grand Flam Kingdom!"

She was allowed to counterattack Mary.

"……What did you say?"

In fact, this is not surprising. Even the Soldiers of the Great Alexandros Empire were originally citizens of the Grand Flam Kingdom. However, the way of receiving is different between soldiers and ordinary people.

Prince Arnold is no longer able to point his sword at slave units.

"Your Highness! Let's go down here!"

Lambert, who senses the feelings of Prince Arnold, recommends withdrawal. That's the right decision. Apart from the slaves, as well as from Maria's SS, there is no reason for the enemy to hesitate to shoot.

"Withdraw! Return to Honjin!"

Following Lambert's suggestion, Prince Arnold orders a retreat. Upon hearing the order, the Knights of the Guards tried to return their horses to return to their base, and the Band 領 s troops saw something unexpected.

"... what is it?"

Honjin was trying to return, and the Grand Fram flag was about to move forward.
