Dragon Poor

< -- 34. Battlefield Drake -->

There was no backbone, no surveillance. The Drake Cavalry's maneuvers were swift. They were riding in one direction, and Kim Sun-hyuk was on the Goldrake where they were looking.

“Slow down your troops. ”

You slow down the troops for the first time since he left the garrison.

“Hold still. ”

Clark greatly appreciates his remarkable instruction and shuts up while attempting to relay orders to the cavalry. The cavalry that had been running all the way to the back of the giant drake had already stopped naturally following him.

“Rest on horseback. ”

Though I ran with all my strength, I could not help but run with heavy armor around my body. On his instructions, the cavalry severed the wrist and uncuffed the stiff joints, checking the condition of the horse.

“Is it an enemy? ”

Clark approaches with a sudden resting order and asks.

“About 50 cavalry units to the northwest, bearing south. At this rate, you'll soon meet the enemy's backbone. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

The cavalry rests, their ears turning wide.

“What to do. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk looked around at such cavalry and replied with a resolute tone.

“You have to step on them all. ”

After a short break from his words, the cavalry takes his weapons, which were filled with horses' saddles.

“Step on your backside and take care of your enemies. Arming takes precedence over freedom and mobility. Processing the backbone is one part of the lead. ”

Fast-foot athletes, among other things, how it was not easy to chase down a heavily armed horseman and destroy the enemy's backbone that made him lighter. Nevertheless, no one stepped forward and asked about it.

The crew's trust in the new commander was solid.

“Let's go.”

The cavalry slowly begins to move on his word. However, the hoofbeats that would have spread far away from the plain disappeared strangely. When the massive cavalry moves, the dirt that creeps up is spread out quickly.

‘As you wish. ’

All of it was the power of Attya, the lower spirit of the wind. Perhaps the enemy will know its existence after the approaching cavalry approaches without a sound. And by that time, his troops will already be in the best position to charge at any time after preparing for full deployment.

* *

As expected, the enemy's hindquarters, which were moving separately from the mainframe, did not notice anything until they were visually confirmed. At first glance, the leader of the enemy who had already held out the spear was rushing, so he sped up and slammed into the spear with no birds to escape.

It was all Kim Sun-hyuk's intention. He used the occasional hills in the open plains to thoroughly hide the troop's movements, and as a result, he was able to easily dispose of the enemy's backbone.

“Hmm."

He frowned unknowingly at the smell of the fine blood coming from the bodies of the cavalry members who joined the base. I have smelled blood many times already, but this stink has not been adapted at all.

In the past, I was fascinated by this smell. But now he was different from him back then. Two battles, several battles, and his experience in Lugenburg grew him up, and he was no longer shaken as before.

“Troops. Moving again. ”

In a word, Drake, who was leaning down, rises up and starts to move again.

I wonder how far across the plain.

I encountered an enemy troop on the south shore without even knowing that I was being hunted. They see the cavalry emerging from the silence without any sign of it, and they are appalled at the presence of the giant beast standing in front of them.

Kim Sun-hyuk whispered briefly when he saw an enemy cavalry trying to flee without being afraid to engage.

“Cry, Goldie! ”

Goldrake, who has been biting his jaw tightly and holding back his roar, roars wildly.

Rrrrghhhhh!

The roar of the beast that was spreading across the plains quickly snatches the foot of an enemy cavalry.

The horses scream and slap their front legs, and some of the cavalry that were loosely holding the harp tumbles onto the horses. The rest of the cavalry tried to brace their feet and calm my horse, but by the time they calmed their frightened horses down, the Drake Cavalry had already come too close.

“Charge!”

As Kim Sun-hyuk briefly instructs, the cavalry with spears in their armpits thrust their spears at the top of the enemy cavalry that was tangled with chaos.

The first one to reach the enemy was, of course, Kim Sun-hyuk, who boarded the Goldrake.

“Ugh.”

The cavalry rolls away from the horse, half mesmerized, and gazes at this side with a frozen face. It seems that the spirit, which was barely returning to the appearance of a terrible monster, has completely flew away.

Qajik.

Goldrake has trampled such cavalry without cause. He pushed himself down and squashed himself into a huge body with nothing to do. Then he slit his long throat and crashed into the cavalry right next to him.

Taking hold of the dragonglass weapon and preparing for the attack, the brave mounted soldier of Noctane bounces off into the air as if he were about to be thrown into a large head. As I looked at the broken breastplate, it was instantaneous.

Rrrrgh!

It's been a long time since a fierce Goldrake cried out.

* *

To avoid being entangled by the tail swinging all around, Clark and Drake hang out a little distance, and his hands loosen with his spear without my knowing it.

“What the...”

In his eyes, he saw Drake tearing and stirring up chaos from all sides. I couldn't even see the enemy's will to resist the monsters running wild. They were just trampled, bitten, and slaughtered.

“Grr!”

“Sa, help me! ”

The soldier staring at the beast dazed, hanging down his spear, and stepping on the beast's feet, not once. The soldier, who was stabbing his comrade right next to him, cries out for his death, splits two pieces straight into Drake's sturdy jaw.

Clark and his cavalry stand still and stare at him without even realizing it.

“This is a nightmare...”

In the middle of a terrible massacre, a soldier repeats his words to himself. The soldier seems to have gone completely mad at the miserable sight of his allies being slaughtered by a monster. The soldier hopes to wake up from his nightmare, but the nightmare has ended his death.

A monster rolls its feet several times over an intact, crushed soldier.

Khh!

All I hear is scream and scream, and the brave Drake Cavalry moans in a sight I've never seen before.

“This bottle of courage...”

The horsemen tremble at the incomplete disregard of the cavalry's battle doctrine, the new way of combat that penetrates into the enemy's heart and breaks the ranks from within.

“Wake up! Advance from the rear and block the enemy from retreating! Stand by for lead! ”

Clark lunges at the crew watching the stunned battle, blocking the enemy's escape just in case. The instructions were necessary, but as a result his instructions were also meaningless.

The Unsullied and the Beasts would not allow a single escape.

“I'm in a hurry!”

The commander, who was preparing for the day-to-day battle, frowned upon the sudden rush of messengers. Today, I started worrying about how many villages were burned and how much damage the infantry suffered.

However, unlike their concerns, the messenger's expression was bright.

“Drake Cavalry wiped out 50 enemy Cavalries! ”

Commander Mansk clenches his fists at the first reading.

“Oh! Bird of Dragons! ”

“Any casualties? ”

Overcome the cheering chiefs, the commander asks for your damage. A messenger with a red face, "Sir! ’The moment I shouted, the commander who was patient cheered.

“I'm in a hurry!”

Another messenger finds the command without a moment to rejoice in winning the war. Rarely, the atmosphere of the command, which had risen in the heat of the good news, quickly subsided.

But I read it again.

“Kill 25 enemy mounted troops, your allies have won! ”

“Oh!”

The messenger continued to report with an exasperated voice while the staff cheered for successive victory announcements.

“Seven infantry squadrons from the 24th regiment are advancing as quickly as possible. ”

“If you're in the 24th regiment...”

A Drake cavalry member who was freely discharged from the 24th regiment in the first place. Naturally, if the infantry squadrons in the 24th regiment were advancing, the main unit would be exhausted.

“The army that fought the enemy was Drake's cavalry, the Dragons! ”

“I knew it!"

As it may have been, the command became an excitement at the birth of a new Savior.

“We have no casualties! Enemy cavalry eliminated! ”

This time there were no more casualties for our allies. It was an unprecedented precedent for the heavily armed cavalry.

The next day, the messengers continue to find the command post. Everyone was a messenger to announce the victory of the Drake Cavalry. That way, the Drake Cavalry is outnumbered by an enemy cavalry.

“This should clear up the rear. ”

No matter how superior the maneuvering forces were, the herd had to penetrate too deep. Naturally, there were not many enemies who disturbed the final. And all enemies that have infiltrated have been wiped out by the Drake Cavalry.

The problem was the area between the stable area and Mansk Fortress. The size of the enemy cavalry operating here has been consistently reported to the villages that were pillaged daily and to the injured infantry in four major units.

“Just a little longer and I'll be breathless. ”

But it was also getting better and better over time. The more the Drake Cavalry installs in the rear, the noticeably diminished activity of the enemy cavalry that was roaming freely everywhere.

“Commander! I'm in a hurry! ”

The commander frowns at the increasingly frequent news, suggesting that the situation in the exhibition is not urgent. Unlike the messengers who preached the victory report, I saw that the messenger's face was stiff.

“The scattered cavalry are regrouping on a massive scale! ”

“If the enemies are back together, what is the exact size? ”

The messenger answered the Chief of Staff's question with a white face.

“At least three squadrons! Up to 4 major chunks! ”

The chiefs who heard the words suddenly woke up.

“About that big...”

“Over nine of the cavalry forces that were active across the border. ”

The commander makes a bold move on that.

“What the hell did the patrols do to keep an eye on the enemy's movements?! ”

“Patrolmen also patrol horses beyond their limits as they prevent enemy cavalry from plundering. It's an inevitable fact that the enemy has dug a hole in the gap because of the widening of the range. ”

Commander Mansk sobs as he picks it up like an excuse. It was he who insisted on protecting this vast area. In the meantime, all of the maneuverable forces have run to their limit and have made a hole in the enemy.

Now I can't blame others.

“How long will it take to regroup? ”

“Minimum of 4 days. That's also the time it takes to gather only the widespread cavalry on the front lines. You can barely keep it together. You'll need three regiment-sized infantry troops to get rid of your enemies completely. And it's going to take at least 10 days for the infantry to unite. ”

At one time, I would rather wait for the enemy to come together. If I had, I could have ended the war with one good fix. But things were different then and now.

I tried to prevent the spread of troops as much as possible, but when I came to my senses that I was drenched in the crotch, most of my regiment was split up on a massive scale and spread out everywhere. It took me a while to deal with the horsemen assembled as one.

“You got them. This could be what they've been after from the start." ”

Even a four-squadron cavalry can be trampled down by a regiment-sized infantry. It meant that it was almost impossible to stop them wherever they were headed.

“But I don't understand. Gathering troops like that, there's nothing to gain. ”

The lands to the west were becoming more dangerous immediately, but the nobles of the west were soldiers to be trained by repeated battles. If they are harmed, they will survive somehow and eventually rebuild their territory. Many histories have already proven the persistent life force of Western nobles.

“I can't believe the middle grain...”

“That's impossible. Even if they raid the central barn, there's no way to cross the border again. No, I wouldn't have made it past the Central Army before that. ”

The Central Armed Forces' ability to advance to the center was not great. Central to Central, the elite of the kingdoms were left as the last bastion in case the front was breached. Most of the Central Knights' knights and wizards belonged here as well.

No matter how reluctant the superhumans are to enter, they won't spare their strength against the enemies they've dug out in the middle.

“Then what the hell was he after? How many raids in the territory did they run into? ”

I've been thinking about it a lot. And the commander suddenly realizes when their movements have changed dramatically.

“Come on, let's get a cavalry. Five large cavalry...”

One of the chief of staff inadvertently asked me if I had the same idea.

“Not just a cavalry. A cavalry that ate the pride of Noctane. ”

The movement of the vibrating enemy, as if awaiting the moment, is aimed perfectly at the Drake Cavalry. What the enemy was after was inevitable revenge.

“Where is Prince Drahon now? ”

“I was last told I joined the 22nd regiment for restoration. ”

* *

“Well, that's not good. ”

Kim Seon-Hyuk, who was staying at the 22nd regiment's garrison to relieve the fatigue of the ongoing battles at that time, felt the hostility coming from all around him and became stiff.

When did they get together like this?

At least three squads or more of the enemy's stunts were frozen, and many of them felt strange. My whole body is telling me to back off from engaging.

But he couldn't.

“Phew. Have some of this. ”

“Thank you, ma'am. ”

Residents of nearby villages who fled from Noctane's magic, soldiers left at the injured outpost, and two remaining infantry troops to protect them. To escape, I had to abandon them all.
