Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Chapter 17 Finals (Part 4)

Silentium Army Front

White round shields on Western-style long-spear gear, asphalif-child heavy-duty infantry mercenaries formed a dense party of specialties and came at the front of the Cilentium army.

Receiving this in the Cilentium army are the Corps of Cilentium and the Corps of Fellum placed in the front.

The Alpesio Seal and Argentine Derrick, who once followed Hull and flew out of the tribe, are entrusted with this one.

Seal is the grandson of Gatti, the chief, and head of the Cilentium Legion, while Derrick is head of the Legion of the Fellum Legion.

They are all promising people who have experienced training and actual combat as thousand captains of the 21st Regiment and are responsible for the next generation of each tribe that has grown.

In full inheritance of his bloody grandfather's blood, Derrick is oligarchy and serious, as though he were from the Argentine tribe, who passes by intellectually among the Cliffonams, against a youthful, ironless seal.

There are two opposite personalities, but as a neighboring tribe, these two tribes rarely interact because they have been friendly for a long time, and these two are also familiar and close to each other.

For that reason, in the battle on the banks of the Ineon River, Gatti bound the warriors of both tribes and led them.

Two of them were told by Hull to hold the front line as close as possible to excessive offense and prominence, and they understood that this was intended to detain heavy infantry mercenaries, the enemy's main infantry.

"There's no going back weirdly conscious! If you have a situation where you can be attacked, be aggressive!

Seal to fly instructions to the prestigious and handed down Northern Legion soldiers.

The opposing Derrick communicates the order to the transmission in a quiet manner.

"Try to use projectile weapons to stop them"

Frontal clashes began when the two finished communicating their orders.

In response to a heavily armed mercenary who shouts and protrudes his spear in the front, the Northern Legion soldiers let the rain of a hand-throated arrow shake and hold on with a large claw of spear tips.

A rear-row Northern Legion soldier cut off the tip of a long spear that was occasionally protruded to soak up gaps in the shield.

"Nice, sticky!

Answering Seal's encouragement, a Northern Legion soldier shouted out his voice and poked forward.

Long spears are bounced up and a hand-throwed arrow is thrown as a hasty heavy-duty mercenary pokes a gap to restart the spear.

A hand-throwed arrow, along with a sharp blade sound, shoots through the heavy-duty mercenary in the front row, but does not give a gap into which the heavy-duty mercenary in the back row quickly fills in.

Again an antagonistic state was created, with both sides of Siluha and Cilentium at the front not giving way and falling into an adhesive state.

Cilentium Army Right Wing

Belius was in a hurry to storm a fierce Sirukha mercenary cavalry, but managed to keep the line.

Another intense assault is made and the Northern Legion soldiers in the front row are left screaming and trampled on horseshoes.

Short spears rolled out of the horse, and the bright tip pierced the body of a Northern Legion soldier from above.

Blood splashes and screams from the formation of allies.

Siluha's common method of warfare is firstly an assault after a bowshooting by a bow cavalry has taken place, but these mercenaries have gone into it all at once, ignoring such a statute.

The 23rd Legion, which was so thoroughly defended that it thought the bowshooting would take place at the beginning, was packed with distance within the circumference and was quickly trampled down.

Even the hand-throating arrows were forced, and the soldiers of the Northern Legion in the front row tried to prevent and stop the body of the horse, but the big Cliffonam were not supposed to be enemies of the horse assault, but they ate and broke the line.

It was Belius who managed to bring him into a riot to prevent a horse assault, but he is flirted with by the skillful equestrianism of a mercenary cavalry, and one Northern Legion soldier after another is debated with a sword to storm.

Approaching from the rear, the Northern Legion soldiers received a strong rear kick of the horse and were slapped in the body by every big shield.

Another Northern Legion soldier poked him from the side, but he gets hit by a horse and blows up.

The Northern Legion soldier, who aimed at the horse's neck from the front, passed out with a spear slapped from the top of his helmet.

Occasionally the battle line of the 23rd Legion gets messed up and into chaos.

Although the cavalry mercenaries managed to rearrange the line once they had separated for another assault, the shock and damage were immense.

10,000 cavalry, more than 5,000 infantry, not only soldier science, but also the disadvantage of the number of soldiers.

"Grr... so far..."

Belius looks at his teeth remorsefully, but the soldier he has lost will not return.

The 23rd Regiment, which was not supposed to receive cavalry support from the beginning, was immediately demoralized by the attack of the mighty Siluha cavalry.

But if he retreats or loses here, now the Cilentium and Fermium Legions are in a state of antagonism with the enemy's heavily armed mercenaries in the front of this intense assault.

"Hold on!"

The Northern Legion soldiers of the 23rd Legion, who were usually surprised that the oligarchy Legion chief exclaimed, immediately drew their energy back.

Reassemble the grand bands, line up, stick out the spears and restrain the cavalry assault.

The 23rd legion, recovered from the confusion so that it could be seen differently, raised its voice.

Still, however, the disadvantages were not covered, and the mercenary cavalry of Siluha rose in temper and repeated fierce assaults, losing one soldier after another, although the 23rd legion would not defeat.

Siluha Army Headquarters

Looking at the battlefield, Asfarif raised his pleasant voice.

"Ha! Don't do it, Northern Guardian! This right-wing cavalry is devastated... clean up the mess immediately."

Leaving the main unit to clean up the Siluha cavalry, where one of the generals is devastated and defeated under Asfarif's command.

And the infantry of the Cilentium army is still strong.

In the eyes of Asfarif, who looks to the front, he saw the heavily armed infantry mercenary of an ally who was in a state of adhesion without breaking the line as before.

Asfarif, who shifted his gaze further to the left wing, grinned with garlic.

"I got the left wing! Put in the Southern infantry immediately!

Asfarif ordered the input of Southern infantry, which he had not put out on the front line this time.

"Isn't it early enough, since we broke down enemy lines with a few more cavalry?

"Don't be silly, we've got a right wing down here, now's the time to hang on to the chase. Cavalry is also used in pursuit battles, once lowered, give him a break. Put the Southern infantry together in that hole and stick it in!

One of the generals gives advice, but Asfarif doesn't work with it, and repeats the order.

The advised general left the main unit to command the Southern Infantry when he silently sent a courtesy to Asfarif on another order.

"Come on, this is the battlefield! Consolidate the right wing in the main unit. There's an avalanche coming up in the north!

The cavalry and heavy-duty infantry mercenaries of the main battalion move on the orders of Asfarif.

Asfarif took the cavalry of Cilentium in disguise of the main army, and in the meantime was looking to destroy the Northern Legion soldiers, the main force of the Cilentium army.

However, heavy infantry mercenaries placed in the main unit are not equipped with long spears.

This is to make it versatile so that it can be put anywhere as a spare, and because there are not enough troops to form an effective dense party, it is a little heavy to accept a heavily armed cavalry, but Asfarif thought that the main unit was divided into pieces.

Initially, we aimed to destroy the siege with the cavalry of both wings, but since our right-wing cavalry had been defeated, we decided to change our strategy and switch to a side siege attack from the left wing of the Siluha army, so we decided to put the southern infantry, which we had kept in total reserve, into the left wing at once.

Asfarif, describing the victory, grinned as he saw the enemy cavalry coming.

"I'll do quite a bit... but that's the end of the battle, it was a lot of fun!

Cilentium Army Cavalry Regiment, West Side of Battlefield

Altrius uttered words in a voice unbeatable to the wind, riding further onto Hull's shoulder on a diseased horse.

"Halyoshi! The enemy's main line is coming around… probably taking us in the main line and gambling on the other side!

"That's right. I'm worried about the right wing, but now Mr. Belius has nothing else to endure!

Altrius nods as Hal responds with his tenuous voice up in the wind.

"Um, if we start engaging the enemy team, let them give us a signal right away!

"... at last..."

"Finally."

Still on the front, Northern Legion soldiers and heavy-duty infantry mercenaries continue to lay their hands on each other, repeating each other.

Once pushed to the brink of defeat, the 23rd Legion of the Right Wing has regained it in Belius' Superior War, holding on to enemy cavalry attacks while causing damage.

The left wing was about to clash with the front of the Siluha army shortly after a heavily armed cavalry of Cilentium that destroyed the cavalry.

The most fearful and dense party apparently does not exist in the enemy formation, with troops equipped with heavy infantry but with shields and swords and short spears to it.

"Give me a signal!

As Hal screams back, he unravels and raises the large yellow flag that one of the heavy cavalry horsemen had.

Running intact for a while, anticipating a fit when I saw enough yellow flags, the cavalry wrapped the flag and went under the saddle.

"... Assault!

Ugh!!

A proud heavy-duty cavalry of Cilentium began walking towards the Siluha army headquarters on Hull's decree.

Silentium Army Front

Two of Seal and Derrick, who caught sight of the yellow flag sweeping at the left wing, quickly let their deputy fly the yellow flag.

And as he left the crowd a little from the dense faction of the Siluha army, the bewildered Siluha army poked a gap hesitant to advance and let the rear soldiers space themselves.

It was the Northern Legion soldiers of the Altrius Legion who had been waiting in the rear for a quick rush into the open gap.

Led by the Legion of Altrius was Theosis, the eldest son of Randeluez, the chief of the Berefes, and a crossbow in odd shape, not with a sword or a spear, in the hands of his soldiers.

The crossbow is fitted with a box at the top, in which carefully stacked arrows dedicated to this crossbow are tightly packed.

Theosis waited now or now for the yellow flag to fly, but when the flag finally flies, it moves the soldiers forward at once.

"Rapid forward! Form a formation."

And when the soldiers arrived between the Shilentium Legion and the shield walls erected by the Fellum Legion, they issued the next decree.

"Start shooting simultaneously in a row!!

sounded properly mechanical, while a short arrow of straight crossbows was released from the top edge of the shield one after the other.

The powerful arrows unleashed do not use fine shields or armor, but devour the bodies of Siluha's heavily armed infantry mercenaries.

The mercenary captain of Siluha, who was surprised for a moment by the fall of a soldier in the front row, nevertheless ordered him to move forward in the rear row to fill the hole immediately.

"Back row, don't break the dense formation!

No matter how powerful the crossbow is, it cannot be fired in a row.

I know you're going to poke through the gap created by the simultaneous shooting and bring it into a riot, but if you pack the distance right away and bring it into a melee, it won't matter.

But the hole filled in the corner was torn down by the simultaneous firing of the crossbow again.

Arrows of crossbows that fly with sharp wind cuts easily penetrate the armor of heavily armed infantry mercenaries, striking out shields and piercing them into the bodies of mercenaries.

If it is a normal arrow approaching the mountain shape from above, the guard soldier can pay off a long spear to prevent it, but the linearly flying crossbow arrow has no skill but to prevent it with a shield, but the crossbow that is so powerful that its shield does not function adequately should be for defensive positions or sieges that are inherently ineffective.

But not only is that used in the field, but it's weirder not to be surprised if it can be fired in succession.

"Hey, what the hell!?

One crossbow arrow after another also flies around the amazing mercenary captain with a sharp wind-cut sound, and the heavy-duty infantry mercenary is knocked down.

Blood smoke erupts and the battle line is disturbed.

The crossbow arrows that are supposed to stop don't stop.

After a moment, the faces of the mercenaries, bracketed high as if they were to stop if they had patience, began to draw, and finally the thick mercenaries began to get upset by the boulders as well for further crossbow shooting.

"Now! Assault!!"

At the end of the first simultaneous fire, a Northern Legion soldier under the command of Seal and Derrick to the disturbed formation of the Siluha army threw several hand-throated arrows before waving his sword at once and mounting an assault.

Theosis lowers the crossbowmen to load the arrows he shot up into the box in the meantime.

It happens to be at the forefront of a conflagration.

The heavily armed infantry mercenaries, further disrupted by hand-throwed arrows and completely collapsed by dense parties, are now literally taken over without being able to throw away long spears turned into useless objects.

Mercenaries sinking into blood smoke with the sword of a Northern Legion soldier around their necks.

A mercenary captain whose shield is also interrupted by the spear of a colleague soldier, and whose sword pokes at the gap he brings.

The Siluha soldier collapses after being shot into the chest with a hand-throwed arrow.

Also elsewhere, even if the dagger is pulled out and resisted, Siluha soldiers cut down in hanging scream.

The cheer of the Northern Legion soldiers and the sound of the sword trident coincided with the screaming and screaming of heavily armed infantry mercenaries.

Fear runs over the mercenaries of the war in the fierce and extreme attack of the Northern Legion soldiers as if to clear up their previous depression, and at last the mercenaries behind them throw down their spears and begin to escape.

Yet another shout went up.

The 21st Corps, which was on the left wing of the Cilentium Army, pushed the side of the dense party being made by Siluha's heavy-duty infantry mercenaries from the side because there was no more pressure from the enemy forces.

Hand-throwing arrows are thrown one after the other, unable to resist the pressure of the 21st Regiment, which began its attack from a completely spearless side, and the right side of the front of the Siluha army begins to crumble.

"Don't let them get away with it!

A sharp order flew and the crossbowmen of the Altrius Legion, led by Theosis, who had once again entered the front line, beaten down the mercenaries of Siluha with their backs.

"I left the rest to you! This way we turn to cover the 23rd Regiment!

Speaking to Seal and Derrick, who came out to the front line, Theosis led the crossbowmen under his command to the right wing.

"Whoa! I asked you to!

"This one's fine now, I'll take care of it"

Seal and Derrick, with words of reply behind them, pushed the Northern Legion soldiers forward to push the front line even further.

"We're going straight to the main line!

Derrick, smiling at Seal's words, must have turned forward and stared at the cavalry regiment of direct Hal now about to strike positively at Asfarif's headquarters.
