00097 King and General

The situation has begun to turn rapidly.

I first reported to Commander Zephar that I would enter an independent counterattack. Brother Zephar was also feeling very frustrated about the situation.

We quickly cleaned up the situation. A new operation was set up on the spot. Like a typical plains host, Zephyr was well aware of the situation, and seriously considered my proposal to run a small-batch guerrilla unit.

Khh, this is why people should meet their superiors well. If Zephyr were incompetent, he would have hesitated to turn the operation upside down. As a result? You'll die slowly, until right-wing is ruined. Certainly, the Empire forces led by Von Rosenberg were capable. I could use an archer at night. However, the allies that Brother Zephar was protecting were also capable. It gave me a lot of confidence.

─ But Dantalian. Instead of running guerrillas in small troops, you'd better plan a massive counterattack.

Commander Zephyr offered me another alternative before accepting my offer. His argument was: Even if it is a little too much, all right-wing units will react as one. Enemies are blind because of their limited vision. If we charge quickly, we will force melee combat on the archers. All the archers will survive melee combat. They will have to retreat, and we will pursue them and surround the infantry forces at the same time. The siege begins in a heartbeat.

“Indeed! I think that would be better. ”

I admire your numbers, Commander Zephyr. Something about that. Then the enemy's intentions are immediately frustrated. Right-wing frees the enemy infantry and allows them to wage extremely messy battles.

When the battlefield is confused, the more confused the battlefield is, the better the monster will be than the Humans. Monsters are bright at night and take orders from our Demon King directly. Even now, the Demon Kings are communicating among themselves. The chances of a successful siege are…….

─ Then let's go straight to counterattack. You'll have to wait.

It was the moment I was going to say yes. Laura prudently steps in next to you. She asks for permission to speak. I tilted my head, but gladly agreed. I served in the Sixth Legion of the Monthly Blind, and Laura, my closest assistant, deserved to be treated as an assistant. Laura asked for understanding and immediately told Commander Zephar.

“Excuse me, General Commander. Sawyer is Operations Advisor Laura de Farnese. There is a serious flaw in counter-attack operations, as judged by the girl. ”

─ Hmm? What is it, Chief of Staff De Farnese.

“It is possible that the Knights are waiting behind the Imperium. ”

I was shocked. The Knights? It has been confirmed that infantry troops march alone. There were no reports of knights moving in together at all. Commander Zephyr's voice rises even higher.

─ A Knight.Why do you think that?

“She dares to think that the Imperial Army is not merely intended to serve the right side of her allies. The Imperial Army is seducing us. ”

Laura explains her predictions accurately and quickly. She outlined the battle scenario of von Rosenberg's change bag as follows:

First, attack the archers. Our right wing builds up little damage from the shooting of the acolytes, just as we drench ourselves in the rain. The Demon Prince judges that if the war continues, the Imperial infantry will try to break through. The Demon King reacts in unison to turn the tide. ― Laura predicted that knights would appear right behind her.

I said I was getting serious.

“…… If Laura is right, we should spin with the Knights. ”

─ I agree. Taking on the Knights without defenses is horrible.

Commander Zephyr was a grumpy tone. It turned out that he had a history of running into the Knights from the Moon Blind Army and completely dismembering his troops. No one else is more wary of the power of the Knights than Zephyr.

Commander Zephar has mobilized a cavalry scout immediately to focus his efforts on the rear of the Imperial Army. If Laura's prediction is wrong, we are wasting too much valuable time scouting the battlefield. Imperial infantry is slowly approaching at this moment. Laura's guilt is my guilt. If I lose a battle, someone who asks me for my responsibility will surely come out.

But I accepted Laura's warning. She fought with one of the best warrior groups in the history of the continent, a group of warriors, for years. As I knew Laura's true destiny, I could never pass on her warning in vain.

I wonder if the Horseman really is a decoy. Is the Imperial Army preparing the Knights with counters in their spleens...... Maybe Laura will prove her genius. Anyway, I've arranged for the troops to carry out an assault at any time. Five minutes of restless time flowed by.

And the slime opens its mouth. Commander Zephyr's voice comes out mechanically.

─ Dantalian.The Knights were found behind the Empire army. They were disguised behind a blind spot in the hills. Just as your advisor predicted.

“ ……! ”

I looked at Laura without even knowing it. She is fully exposed to the darkness of the dawn, yet shines deeply into her eyes. Immediately, I felt goosebumps on my back. She remains calm and calm, even though her predictions were right, and in just a few words she rescued her allies from the danger of destruction.

What an enormous monster. Seventeen years old! At her age, I dozed off in a palm thread chair…… Laura changed the fate of an army at 17. The skull is creepy. Just now, without any fighting, Von Rosenberg's change bag and Deputy Chief of Staff Laura de Farnese have engaged in the world's quietest battle. And Laura won...

─ I thought you were a great tactician, but now you have enough qualifications as a monarch. The quality of a monarch is determined by the quality of a servant. I'd like to compliment you and your men on a hundred words, but I'll leave you out of it.

“Yes.”

Now we have a complete grasp of the enemy's operations. The archer's tactical objective was a double. First, seal off all movements of the Demon Lord's right-hand side. The second was a decoy.

I indifferently glanced over the other side of the cover. The archer pours out dozens of shots per minute to see if there are any arrows left. The arrowheads fly towards this direction, and that's the touch of temptation. They were talking by shooting.

Is the pill rising? Then come out and defeat us. Escape the sturdy seriousness you made in preparation for the Knights Charge. Let's have a good fight in a hill with nothing! ’

Sneaky little bastards.

Laura straightens things out.

“As an Imperial soldier, we don't care how our troops react. If an ally survives the arrowhead at this rate, the Empire forces advance the infantry. Some of our right interests are pierced. If an ally takes on a massive counterattack, the archer retreats at once. The Knights rush in, alternating with them. Our right side collapses. ”

─ Hmm. Either way is extremely disadvantageous to us. This Empire Change Bag is far from incompetent...

Only one option remains for us if the countermeasures are frustrated. The plan I originally came up with was a small guerrilla unit. We immediately agreed that it was the only answer. It was a unit of Dantalians specializing in physics resistance as well as small troops here.

The new operational goals for my unit include:

Number one. Eliminate the Archer Troops in front of our troops.

Second, after the extermination of the minions, our troops will immediately become guerrillas. As such, destroy each of the other troops that are holding the other troops' ankles.

Third. Work with nearby allies from time to time in this process.

The Imperial Army was dividing the archers into small groups. Even the archers who were thrown out of the front of my troops immediately postponed it by roughly the number of arrows, and it was only about twenty. Of course, of course. Empire forces were shooting arrows at the entire right, not part of the right. We need to spread and deploy the archers as widely as possible.

In other words, even though the archers are a thousand troops in total, there are only a small troop of twenty to fifty that we will encounter. There's a chance. No, it creates a chance. It's a battlefield! If you do not move your feet yourself, you will not be given a chance anywhere.

─ You have to ask for your struggle. After today, please let us toast to victory.

The transmission is complete.

“Phew.”

I took a deep breath. The cold air, unique to dawn, cools the lungs.

From now on, the entire right side of my unit goes into a defensive position. No matter how much the archers harass you, you will never leave the army. Series like a fortress, built over the past few days considering the Great War. Stay there until the end. Imperial forces' enticement was frustrated by Laura.

“Time wars. ”

“Ah. Time's a-wastin '. ”

Are Imperial infantry attacking this part of the right-hand side first, or are my guerrilla troops retreating from the archers first? This decides the battle of Austerlitz. Anyway, it became absurd.

Is that it? I'm already determined to roll at the fateful level. Dammit, there's no day to rest. …… who should I talk to about this injustice? The hostility against the Sapphire Venus Pants rises tremendously. I'll kill him, but I won't kill him gently. If you can kill him.

The only comfort is that the Empire forces are advancing their infantry lines very slowly because they are concerned about extremely limited visibility. Slow march will include not only a matter of sight, but other intentions, namely, the intention to give the archers ample time to attract our troops. The Imperial Army is unaware that we have uncovered a lure. That ignorance is leaving me with something to say.

Von Rosenberg change bag. Your intention is to overlook the fact that we have Laura de Farnese in our army. She's a genius. She may be immature, but she certainly has a knack for ruling the battlefield. I'll show you.

“Lord, now is the time. ”

The archer throws an arrow and reverses. The hoof grows farther out of the fog.

Laura and I have escaped cover. Then he ran towards the fog. It wasn't just the two of you recklessly charging in. Twelve knights of death followed him as invisible spirits. We run to a reasonable distance and then fall to our knees.

“ ……. ”

Wet forests prick your cheeks wet with the dawn dew. Grassworms roam around, but I don't care. I put my ear to the ground. To listen to the hooves of the archers.

I'd have waited about 30 seconds. The ground shakes lightly. The sound of the horse approaches at a rapid pace.

Austerlitz Overview:

The Horseman's right side (= left side of the Empire Army) continues to attack the Archers. The Imperial Knights are ambushing the blind spots in the hills, aiming to kill the Horsemen. The Demon Prince is defending his opponent with his best intentions. And the Dantalian forces begin to move.

Just before the battle in the Democratic army's left and right. However, unlike the right, both sides of the left are very passive.
