Clonzino Warfare - Mercenary Tales

It was at 14: 40 that the change came again to Crondino's state of war.

"Dear Kalish, the enemy is back on the offensive."

"Hmm, incompetent bastards. Can you only push it in numbers!

The Kalish battalion, which protects itself in a position erected on the hill, has an interest in the land. However, since the difference in power is 1-for-10, it is difficult to go along with the local interest alone. He didn't understand that, but his staff did.

"But the enemy appears to be in full offense. I wonder how it's impossible to support this offensive with us."

"... I mean run, are you trying to tell me?

"No, it's a tactical retreat. He abandons his position, attracts the main enemy force, and goes on a counter-attack there with the reserve force behind the hill."

The mercenary's staff, who had explained that beforehand, would try to calmly advise Kalish for the money.

And as much as I argued there, Karish didn't even say he was smart. First, it is also because of his own blind belief that this is a must win measure.

"You did. Then do it. I'll take care of the specific instructions."

"I'm in awe"

"Oh, and this medal is mine, isn't it?

"My Lord Left."

It goes without saying that what is needed for mercenaries is for their employers to abide by their contracts, and that martial arts medals and aigo-health are second and later.

"All right, then we're going to retreat as we did in advance!

While Kalish behaved exactly as if it were an "operation he had set up," he ordered the troops under him to do so.

Meanwhile, the Kings Army - what the Grand Duke called the rebels - were attempting a position raid from the front by a division led by Lieutenant General Yogihs. Whether it was the pinnacle of stupidity in a position offense or not, he tried to keep his wear and tear as low as he could by a number of profits and lucrative assault prep attacks.

A good number of Yogihs divisions make sure to climb up Seymour Hill, which is a gentle slope, little by little.

And just 20 minutes after the onset of the offensive, the Yogihez Division vanguard unit succeeded in seizing Seymour's hill position. But Lieutenant General Yogihs was aware that this was the right place to start.

"Enemy counterattacks are coming, line up!

He screams and sees the battlefield.

The hilltop position is only for the Grand Duchy army. For this reason, the position was not available as a position for the Kings Army.

In the midst of the offensive, the Kings are naturally quite exhausted, and it is something that forces them to struggle, no matter how many profits they may have when they are fought back there, and no matter how they know there are troops behind the hill.

"Lieutenant General Yogihes, enemy units confirmed from behind the front hill. A few roughly 5,000!

"Intercept him!

Under that circumstance, the Yogihs division receives one brigade counterattack. Besides, it is a brigade led by a commander who shouts joy, "We've got a trap on our hands," he said. The morale was outrageously high.

"Go! Beat the trapped rebels!

"Don't flinch! It's the enemy's evil reward!

The voices of both armies, and the voices of the same Silesians, tree spirits on Seymour Hill. The military flags were different, and the uniforms were designed by almost the same soldiers.

But there, it's unacceptable to show a gap.

Because if you do, it's you who dies. No, not if it's just me. Shoulderlined comrades dying is more unforgivable than dying.

So they held weapons and killed each other among the countrymen.

Yuzef watched the sight without saying anything.

He had seen the truth of what he called a civil war live on television in his previous life, or Carlsbert, but still this was the first time he had ever been a party to a civil war and was definitely filled with feelings he never wanted to experience again.

"... My lord, I thought it would be a good time"

That's why he did his job silently without saying anything.

Yuzef has a comrade who doesn't want him to die.

15: 30.

The Yogihs division abandoned the highlands it had seized early. That could have been seen as a defeat by the side.

In fact, that's what Viscount Kalisch, commander of the Grand Duchy Army, held back behind the hill, thought.

"Ha. I was wary when I heard they were Counts Yogihes, but you're still a young builder. Those are the sloppy ones!

"Father, it's a victory for our army. Your Royal Highness will be delighted!

All the faces of the Viscount Karish family were equally pleased.

Seduction maneuvers and counterattacks until brilliant. Instead of just placing 6,000 troops on the hill, an advanced tactic that forces the enemy to bleed by placing the 5,000 in blind spots as a reserve force. and they were proud.

"At dawn when this battle is over, Father could be a Royal Army Marshal!

"Then I'll make you general!

"Thank God I'm happy!

They were floating in the victory of the war. I also made him say bullshit that was unlikely if he was a professional soldier. And beside them, mercenaries hired with gold were frowning.

And he whispered unnoticed by Viscount Karish.

"... weird"

and.

What he was looking at was the bodies of enemy allies.

He has just come to the hills and cannot be counted in total because he is a battlefield that is not narrow, but he is nevertheless a soldier by the name of a mercenary. I can see roughly how many bodies are rolling.

But at this time, what he saw was too few bodies. Enemies, allies. I don't even see a horse's body.

And all together, it's roughly less than a thousand. The two armies together are less than 1000. Do all that.

And if you raise your gaze, it is the position of Seymour Hill, destroyed by the effects of the battle.

…………

What is most important to mercenaries?

- No. He is not a proud mercenary.

Gold, then. - No. You can't live with just money.

Like a professional soldier, are you a comrade of war? - No. A comrade is synonymous with commercial vendetta.

Patriotism or local love. Naturally, it's impossible.

What is important in living?

That's natural, but it's my life. If I die, I'm not talking about contracts. In the worst case scenario, kill the employer and physically defaults on the contract.

"- Viscount Karish"

"Oh, Staff Hall. Thank you for your cooperation in this battle. Expect extra rewards."

"Thank you, Viscount. - The battle will be on fire after that. If the main unit comes, it will be cheapest and cheapest. So, I think we should go to a nearby town and get some extra supplies."

"Hmm...? Oh, right. The position has been destroyed and supplies are running out. Go to town and collect..."

"I'm afraid the Viscount. Let's go to Purchase, not Symptom. It's disgusting just because it's a conspiracy, but with consideration, your heart will improve and you will pledge your allegiance to the Viscount."

"Ha-ha-ha. That's the staff hall. Fine, fine. Then I want you to go directly and raise supplies. [M] Let's get some money too. - Is this enough?

That being said, the Viscount gave the mercenary the money that the side he had refrained from having. Then, as a watchman, he follows several private soldiers of the Viscount as mercenaries.

"Thank you, Viscount. Then I'll be there as soon as possible, so excuse me."

Thus the mercenary handily obtained the deposit.

Anticipating what will happen next.

---

"Kova, what's the signal?

"Not yet, Lieutenant Colonel Marinovska. But the battle on the hill is almost over, so I thought it might be time."

In the woods, south of Seymour Hill, was the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the Kingsguard Division, to which Sarah Marinovska and others belonged.

And to the north of the hill, there is also a cavalry regiment lurking under the Yogihes Division.

Yuzef's manoeuvres in the Clonzino match were extremely simple.

He took the Grand Duchy army's maneuver backwards, which he said would lure the Yogihes division into the hillside and slap it with reserve power. This means that it was not the Grand Duchy army that lured them to the hills, but the King's army.

And when all the power of Seymour Hill was concentrated on the hill, it was an operation to destroy the siege with two cavalry regiments that had been detoured and activated.

In words, it would have been a simple operation, but an insane one, considering that it would be annihilated by daring to give the hill, which is an important topography, to the enemy.

"Brigadier General Tarno was a brilliant man too, but Yuzef is good at it in terms of ash dust..."

She was alone in the woods doing reconnaissance operations in a platoon led directly by Sarah.

But she's not alarmed, even in a situation almost like the operation was a success. Saying what it is, it's a maneuver that Yuzef thought of somewhere out there. No wonder there's some kind of hole.

But the hole was blocked in an unexpected way.

- Colonel, it's a shadow from the front.

"... a shadow? How many?"

"Only one."

Sarah had no choice but to be distracted by the report.

One of you is coming to this place? There will be no more inhabitants, and even if they were, they shouldn't be here during the battle, the idea is.

When Sarah peered into the monoculars, there was certainly one person there. Somewhere dressed, but the clothes were stained with blood.

"... alert for once. Could be the enemy."

Though she said so, she felt in the corner of her head that there couldn't possibly be a person coming alone to hostile. Because some Yuzef said it was only a creative product, such as a thousand heroes.

And the idea had hit me.

The man who came raised his hands when he found out about Sarah and showed that he had no will to resist.

"Who are you!

"- What, the Kings have beautiful ladies? I should have put it on you."

In response to Sarah's question, the person answered in a floating manner. I didn't make up a conversation, but that's all I found out, and I knew I belonged.

"... a Grand Duke soldier, perhaps?

"Ah. He's a former Grand Duke mercenary to be exact. I just got my retirement."

It was a mercenary who lied to Viscount Karish and left the position.

"Hi, I smelled like a trap, so I came back on my own. Usnoro on the hill is just drunk on victory booze. Let's just knock it off."

And he taught me the information about his former employer who gave me his retirement pension as a wheezer. For him, I don't have a stepdaughter to worry about Viscount Karish's life, and it's more heartbreaking to talk to a beautiful girl.

"Yes, okay. Thank you. - Kova, tell the regiment to prepare for battle. And report to the commander of the regiment."

Copy that, sir.

Sergeant Kovalski leaves under Sarah, and Sarah stays.

It's a dangerous act if you think commonsense that a deputy regiment leader talks across the battlefield with a suspicious person, but unfortunately the deputy regiment leader in this regiment is out of common sense.

"... so what about you?

"Right. I met a beautiful lady like this."

"Huh. I hate you, but I've already made up my mind, and I'm not your daughter."

"That's too bad. You're late."

While the mercenary was mildly sorry, the face of the 15th Platoon of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment behind Sarah had a sad look through the shame. Naturally, Sarah hasn't noticed that.

"I'm gonna give up on you lady, and I'm gonna make a big deal out of you until the war's over in some town."

"... What, you're not coming to us? 'Cause they're running out of officers and corporals."

Sarah remembered what Yuzef and the others had told her before she left and tried to suggest to the mercenary in front of her. If she says there is a shortage of officers, then it is not a bad idea to hire this mercenary, because she thought.

But contrary to Sarah's expectations, the mercenary solidified it.

"No, you should stop doing that"

"... why not?

"Well, lady, you're beautiful, so I'll tell you something special.... enemies or allies, but the guy who betrayed you once should never believe it again."

Empirical theory, but he goes on.

"This civil war will probably be a betrayal match. Maybe the lady's men will betray you, and the guy who betrayed you will be the lady's men. Well, if you're not strong enough, you'll temporarily put him in your men... don't trust him."

"............... can you trust that word?

"I don't know. Mercenaries are more trustless creatures."

That being said, he says goodbye with a gentle wave of his right hand without saying anything while sprinkling smoke. I passed by Sarah's side and was stopped by her after a short walk.

"You, what's your name?

"-Garde Dunan. And shall I keep it?

"I don't trust you."

"That's the right response, Commander."

With that said, the man named Dunan laughed and then left without exchanging words with Sarah or his regiment.

"... there are strange men in the world, too, Yuzef."

Shortly after Sarah muttered so, the sky shined over Yogihez Division headquarters. It is a signal bullet announcing the start of the operation.

As soon as she does, she changes her mind. In the form of a replacement for a mercenary, there were already many troops under Sarah.

Sarah bared her voice.

"All aboard! Towards enemy positions, assault!
