00096 King and General

I lost my words for a moment. Ridiculous.It's hard to hit even when the watch is secured. If you try to shoot at rocks, you won't be able to see if it's swallowed up by fog and darkness. Enemy behavior was not understood.

“You mean this night? I didn't have a clear view. Did any of your troops have been harmed by that attack? ”

Do you think there's a way for the Imperial Army to see through the fog at night? Then the story changes by a hundred and eighty degrees. We have no way to attack enemy siege weapons, but we can beat ourselves up with less excitement. I built a serious battle plan for the Knights like Mo, but I might not be able to use it and escape the dialysis...

Commander Zephyr has put an end to my concerns.

─ There is currently no damage to our right side. All units, stand by. Don't lose your breath.

Commander Zephar emphasized that after that, don't lose your temper, don't get out of your mind, and don't lose your temper. Perhaps the commander decided the enemy was dialysizing to confuse us. Well, I also agreed with the commander. I didn't think of the enemy's intentions.

Lau thought differently. She twists her fingers at blonde hair and says,

“You can't operate the catapult without a clear intention. ”

“But what's the point of a dialysis that you can't even hit? ”

“We need to change our minds. I don't think the Imperium would think so, even if they didn't have to. ”

It was said that dialysis that was poured out from afar was not just for striking. I asked Laura in a lower voice, infected by Laura's serious atmosphere.

“…… unless it's for a hit. ”

“The girl thinks that blocking our troop movements is the enemy's goal. The rocks keep pouring down, even though the chance of being hit is infinitely low. Friends are naturally shrunk. They can't even move an army. For whatever reason, the Imperial Army is trying to restrain our forces in their current position. ”

I got it on my forehead. Laura's guess was plausible. And Laura said I didn't know why, but I immediately assumed the enemy's intentions. Laura doesn't know because she hasn't been in a major military war yet. My head hurts.

“The Imperial Army plans to engage in total aggression from now on. ”

“Hmm? How do you know that? ”

It's a basic strategy. We hold the troops here by mounting a limited attack across the front lines. At this time, the power is concentrated by selecting a point on the wire. If a part of the wire collapses like that, it's over unless we have backup.

And unfortunately…… the 'one point on the front' chosen by the Imperial Army was where we were.

The reason was obvious. The rocks weren't flying directly to the right side. That's where the Imperial Army is already moving. Even if the Imperial army's dialysis skills reach God's domain, they won't blow rocks where their allies move. Apparently, the Empire army observed this side yesterday afternoon and found out that our right-hand side was the slowest.

I report to the high command immediately. Commander Zephyr took my guess seriously. He prolongs the sentence of how he was immersed in emotion.

─ The right wing will be the hottest battlefield ever. As the commander wished...

Around 5: 00 a.m. Emergencies have dropped across the entire right-hand side. Even the darkest and brightest monsters in the night could not tell the difference between 100 meters. The Imperial Army considers this an opportunity to strike.

Thirty golems, ten fairies. Twelve Knights of Death.

A total of 52 monsters were in my army. Golems and fairies have reached a level 10, a level limit that lowest monsters can shoot. It was more powerful than a dizzy, middle-class monster. Here are the Level 50 Death Knights. According to the Human Army classification, the infantry, archers, and elite horsemen were all equipped. At least I'm confident in numbers! It's a dark and bitter battlefield. There is no guarantee that many will be advantageous.

It was just a matter of how the enemy attacked. Will you lead the infantry according to the principle tactics, or will you charge into the Knights from the start in order to attack them? Infantry wins. If it were a Knight...... I dug a hole in front of the Jinn and stuck hundreds of stakes, but honestly, I don't think the Knights will be stopped. I'll pretend to fight and run away as a fog shield. You must unite with other nearby troops and defeat them.

─ A minister found an enemy.

Scouting has been reported by the higher-level unit. The situation is unfolding as Laura and I predicted. The Imperial Army marched towards the right and intended to attack the entire right. I will tear down our right and left sides and center sides one by one. That's what he's up to.

According to reports, the Empire Army has mobilized infantry and cavalry. It means it's not just an attack that ends in a surprise. This will be a devastating battle for our enemies and allies. The hills of Austerlitz will be drenched in blood, not with blood, all winter and spring.

I waited nervously. The rocks are still shaking the earth a few minutes apart.

How long has it been? Something flies out of the swamp of black mist. Not one. Dozens. They swoop, sharply slicing through the air and fell over here. One of them is finally stuck in front of me. It was an arrow.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Laura and I inadvertently looked at each other. We both have a missing boy in our faces. It wasn't because the arrow was strange. At this moment, the hoofbeats were echoing loudly, more than a hundred meters away. Arrows and hooves. This meant only one thing. Laura frowns, her mouth twitching.

“... Isn't that a cavalry? ”

The enemy was operating the archers.

* * *

Imperial forces, or, in this case, General Commander von Rosenberg's change bag. The tactics of the change bag were ridiculously new. I wonder if Laura would have lost her cool in the first place.

“Running a horseman at night! ”

I understood that the dialysis held the center and the right side of our army together. However, I never imagined that I would mobilize the archers. It was for very common reasons. In order for the archers to fire arrows at the enemy, and then reverse them, of course, they needed seamless cooperation.

If you shoot an arrow and turn the wrong direction, you'll hit each other hard. It was not only necessary to maintain a proper distance between the cavalry, it was necessary to fire arrows in a single moment in order to increase the accuracy of the archers. Since the accuracy of those who shot arrows on the horse is unlikely to be high, you have to push them all at once to hit the enemy.

In short, rhomboid archery was hard to learn, and it was not usually a big deal to do it as a unit.... but the battlefield is now incredibly dark. A slight twitch can cause a collision between allies. You run the best archers in this situation? It was crazy.

The problem was that that crazy shit was working for our army.

“No, those lunatics are worth arrows... ”

“Not an arrow filled with Savvy, but one distributed as a knight. I have never heard of a professional training of archers in the Habsburg Empire. I suspect Von Rosenberg Knights acolytes. ”

Laura and I have been talking under cover. In preparation for the mounted charge, our troops have built their camp as strong as they can. Of course, there were plenty of shelter to avoid the arrows. A wagon commandeered from the territory, or a gate from the villages that passed by when we marched from Brantenburg to here.

In this world under constant threat from monsters, residents generally made the house gate thick and strong, which made it a great shield. Thanks to your safety, our troops were not harmed in spite of the restless shooting of the archers. If an arrow in two golems is the only damage, so be it. For golems with -50% physical resistance, arrows were like mosquitoes.

By the way, Death Knight is physically resistant by -70%. The elf was the size of a bean, so I couldn't get hit by an arrow. My unit didn't mean to, but it was almost perfectly guarded against shooting. However.

“…… I can't move. ”

Laura sighs. This is the problem. You have to hide and stay put.

Although it is our troops that are physically resistant and able to move to some degree, other troops have different circumstances. Orcs and Goblins were responsible for the majority of the troops. Orcs and Goblins didn't have any physical resistance. When the arrow rains like this, I had to stay hidden behind the shelter.

The shooting of the archers was taking place across our troops as well as the entire right-wing area, meaning that the right-wing radius of behavior was almost completely blocked.

The intent of the Imperial Army was clear. They said they'd be free to move and hold on to our ankles. According to the scouts, the Imperial troops were focusing their infantry forces on the right side of the equation. While the archers' shooting keeps their allies pinned down and defends, they intend to destroy a portion of the right wing.

I sighed.

“It is von Rosenberg. Simple but extremely effective tactic. ”

One against the catapult, and the second against the archers.

Everything was working according to one principle. Constantly attacking with a catapult, it seals off the Demon King's central and left-wing forces. And barricade the entire right wing with an archer. Finally, focus your troops on the right-hand side. …… literally recreated the basics of 'Friendly maneuvers will live, and Enemy maneuvers will die’.

What was difficult was that we knew the Imperial Army's tactics and had nothing to do with them. You have to be able to move whatever you want to do! Dammit. The enemy is advancing slowly and cautiously in the fog, but we're just hiding behind a tree door and sighing.

“Why don't you ask the commander for reinforcements? ”

“Probably not. ”

I shook my head.

“Barbatos wants our right-hand man to draw as many hostiles as possible. In order to protect our right and right interests, we have to eliminate the central and left-wing forces. ”

Time is of the essence. This part of the right side seems to break through without hesitation. A situation where we cannot request troops from the outside, and right-wing units cannot move freely.

In the end, there was only one option left for my troops. Quite a shitty choice.

“Our troops self-destruct the archers. ”

“…… are you okay? Your troops will be harmed. ”

“It's not my intention, but I can't help it. My beloved troops will allow an enemy infantryman to break through and get kicked out later. ”

Truly, a botherless enemy. Von Rosenberg's change bag was definitely more waterlogged than the black acidic Kurzschleimacher. Kurz did the same, but von Rosenberg, this man must be put to death for my future well-being. I opened my armor and said,

“Be prepared, Laura. It seems that the Hope of the Austerlitz Ball tonight has been selected by our troops. ”

Laura nods. She stares at the bean field, wondering what she's thinking. What is he thinking? Does he feel remorse for his first time in a major battle, or does he feel irony for being part of the mortal army, the enemy of humanity, and for fighting the Imperial Army? I didn't know.

Meanwhile, leveraging the advantages of the highlands, empire forces have focused dialysis on the central and left sides of the Democratic Army. The Right Armed Forces have deployed knight's acolyte cavalry and archer tactics.
