00098 King and General

“Come here!”

“Whoa, whoa! ”

Archers rush down from where we have fallen, not twenty meters away. They yelled at each other a little loudly, but it seemed to pinpoint the position of the squad members. If you don't know where your opponent is in this dark place, there will be collisions.

The cavalry comes out past Laura. They were not paying any attention to the side. By the way, just by knowing where they are and keeping an eye on the front, they were already running out of concentration.

This is why we must stop fighting at night. Vision is the most important of the human senses. Going into battle with my life threatened while my vision is sealed, how much energy this consumes for an individual soldier. …… when an army tries to ambush, it proves that they are elite soldiers, and even when it comes to using unruly archers in an ambush, it means that they are not conscripts, but professional soldiers.

What does it matter?

Being a professional soldier doesn't mean you can survive a broken neck.

“ ……. ”

I clutched my right hand silently. It was not a given signal. It was just a move of my own accord.

However, the effect was absolute. Dark things sprout from the ground. It was like a mucus made of shadows. They took on the shape of the Black Knight in an instant, and even though they were armed with impeccable armor, about half of their bodies were still submerged in darkness. The sound of weeping fades from the surrounding area. Even crickets hide in the overwhelming Qi. Twelve Black Knights. They were the night of the fog.

Kill them.

The Knights of Death exhale. It was a cold breath. It was far from as warm as the breath that humans exhale as part of their bioactivity. It is a remnant of Mana that keeps undead monsters from turning to dust. I could feel it. Black Knights are trying to keep their lives cold.

Now.

Archers have opened fire on my troops. In any era, the disease was the weakest just after the attack. As the cavalry turns their horses around, the knights of death rush as fast as bullets and attack them. Only a single blow. Twelve Black Knights rallied twelve archers. The archers split into two, along with the horse.

“Uh, uh-uh. ”

Luckily, some of the unoccupied archers groan. I couldn't see it because of the darkness, but I think I opened my eyes wide. There was no room for them to scream. The Knights of Death, of course, swung their swords and swung them again, and at a second interval, all the remaining archers died. A squadron of twenty reinforcements has been destroyed.

─ Gruoo.

The Knights of Death stretch their swords and look inward. Is this it? Is this the end of our enemy? That's how they complained.

As senior monsters, they were once formally my subordinates, but they built up their pride without even trying. A pearl necklace on a pig. The monster level (A) was too high compared to my Demon King level (E), so it was looking down on me.

Well, it was okay to listen to orders anyway. There was no need to have a deep mental connection with all the monsters. Bling and fairies were different. The Knights of Death were strong. That will be all. I nod satisfactorily.

Since then, we have quickly begun to overwhelm the other archers. I marched with twelve Black Knights and ten fairies. As a result of the battle about three times, no matter how many archers there were, there were no more than forty soldiers around. That number could be handled internally. I've managed to thin out the archers using various methods.

“Hey, we got trouble! Enemies are taking on a counterattack! ”

I got on my horse and approached the archers. Suddenly, as I appeared in the mist, the archers were alert.

“Who are you? Identify your affiliation. ”

“Frideritz. Ser Lefheim's acolyte. ”

It was the name of the soldier you just defeated. You identified yourself through the status window before killing.

“Guys, our troops are running around like dogs on a summer day, one by one, trying to tell us what's going on. The monsters finally started charging. ”

The archers stared at each other with anti-Semitism. Once I saw myself looking like a human, dressed in human-specific armor, even in Habsburgh, my suspicions seemed to have disappeared quite a bit.

“But we still have no reaction.... ”

It was then that the knights of death, who approached directly behind the archers in their spiritual state, rushed to the ground in unison. The horses are startled and lift their front legs. As the archers panic and try to draw their waist blades, the Black Knight's Great Sword flies faster than that.

Red blood splattered into the air. The corpses that have lost their heads are crooked, and soon fall powerlessly off horseback. Fluffy, fluffy, and corpses crouch in turn in the grass. A few freed horses flee to the other side of the fog. The other five or six horses pr Turezil says they don't know the owner is dead.

“Lord, we must keep swinging. ”

“I agree."

Laura and I rode one horse at a time. It was wise to take out the enemies as soon as possible rather than waste time waiting for an ambush, as long as you're confident that the archers aren't up against the Knights of Death.

“Knights, listen up! I understand that you are frustrated by serving me as my master, not Barbatos. But this is a war zone! ”

I worked curiously and raised my right arm.

“Push your pride behind you. Give me the fame and dog food the unwinnable soldier is discussing. Swing your sword for your true duty, for your allies who are still struggling to hold on to their chains! If you can't even do that, you'll be hurting the face of Barbatos who humbled you to me! ”

─ Sooooo.

The Black Knights roared bitterly at my cry. They were clearly annoyed. But I felt convinced by what I said. Then there was no problem. All you have to do is follow my orders!

You'll be complaining that you took the eighth Demon King and suddenly took the 71st place. Who knows? I, Dantalian, am the one who won the battle in the eighth place. The battlefield doesn't melt enough to be considerate of emotional frustration. It's a combat pro, and you know it best!

“You don't have to immortalize it! Run!”

I drove my horse to the next point. Laura follows you closely. The Black Knights follow them at superhuman speed, and the fairies fly in. Servants everywhere gave me the location of my enemies from the air. Soon after, we ran into a group of archers.

“The Demon King Dantalian is here! ”

The archers stare at you in surprise. They quickly reload their arrows and shoot straight. It was an amazing reaction rate. I caused the fairies to conjure up wind enchantments, forming some kind of wind shield in front of me. With a sigh of silence, the arrows come out and push Laura away.

─ Sobbing!

The Knights of Death appear to have been hit by a few arrows, but they do not slow down the speed at all. The archer didn't get a chance to shoot another arrow. The Knights of Death crack the heads of the Imperium soldiers with their swords. It was a blow pushed purely by force. The sword pierces, swings and repeats itself, and in an instant, about twenty archers are severed. It was as if the chariot were crushing the infantry.

“What's slower than I am! Perhaps the training of the Barbatos army was not so harsh! ”

I saw a squad fly away and laughed loudly, concealing my satisfaction. The Black Knights were furious with obvious provocation. Those who have been with Barbato for centuries have prided themselves on being the eighth Demon King's army, among other things. I used it.

At that time, a group of archers pours in to see if they've heard of the commotion here. Unlike the troops that have been ambushed so far, they are determined to attack. Firstly, I fired a single shot, and then I pulled the blade out of my waist and charged.

“The Demon King! Destroy the Demon King! ”

This time it was quite large. At first glance, it was close to forty people. It was likely that the two small units were joined together, or a group led by a well-ranked longevity. Soldiers who switched from archers to fighters naturally raise their swords as they shout. Two of them swung the saber at me.

But the blade never touched me. Just before the knife hit my chest with a semicircle, a dagger slammed in front of me. Chae Yin, the sound of sharp iron resounded. A large sword blocks two cavalry sabers at once. The Knight of Death came to my side one day and held out the Great Sword to protect me.

─ Giddy up!

The Black Knight swings the Great Sword as soon as it stops the cavalry's blades. The Great Sword slashes the waist of two horsemen in a straight line. The armor breaks and a hot gut bursts out. I was covered in blood.

─ Gruoo.

The Knight of Death looked at my face for a moment. It's only for a moment. I can feel the cold stare beyond the helmet, if I have to say yes. He turns around and plunges into horsemen. Every time the Great Sword went into the air at dawn, the cavalry's jaw burst and split. A horsemen of forty riders were wiped out at a rapid rate.

“Hooray, retreat! ”

“That's the boss! ”

I shouted at the cavalry, retreating to command. One of the Knights of Death throws a huge sword. The two-metre Two-Handed Sword buries precisely into the horseman's shoulder. The soldier's right arm is torn into his forearm. The soldier squeals and falls. Since I couldn't take the fall, I fell to the ground from my neck and died instantly.

After that, it was a one-sided massacre. The fighting men could never overcome the knights of death, the best of the heavy artillery. Imperial forces have ventured into approaching, but their courage has ceased only to be bold, and their courage has cost them their lives. This area is cut short. I shout to the Knights of Death.

“To the next point! ”

Over a period of about thirty minutes, we encountered twelve archers. Occasionally they were approached, and sometimes they were pursued. They were brutally exterminated in the melee, and they were properly set free in the pursuit. My goal was to get the Imperial Army to abandon their archery tactics. I didn't have to chase after him if he retreated gently.

An arrow pierced my thigh, avoiding the elf's wind shield during the battle. That was the only damage I took in twelve small encounters. He was in terrible pain, but that was it. The Demon King's body was extremely resilient. They don't just die like this. And then, right after I fell into this world, I got an arrow in my thigh. Hmm, strange misfortune.

In the last battle, one of the Death Knights was sadly lost. There was a real knight in the cavalry as commander. He was probably the commander of the whole archery. It was clear that there was even a military presence. I've ended this battle for the first time in my life by capturing weapons.

“I think this is enough. ”

Laura said in a powerful voice, tired. She couldn't kill a single soldier. He was just leading the Knights of Death and the Elves with me. I was also a little tired, nodding my head.

“Yes. I'd appreciate it if you could just back off like this……. ”

Approximately 240 soldiers were killed. Then the number of soldiers retreated. The field commander of the Imperial Army will consider continuing with the archer's tactics by now. If I don't think it's your call, I'll report it to Von Rosenberg. In other words, our sixth legion right-wing bought us that much time…….

The sun has risen from the horizon. The sun was completely covered by the fog and shined only with a cloudy color. Even after dawn, my vision did not improve at all.

I looked in the direction of the enemy. No matter how many times we attack with archers, we never leave. The rotation you want will never happen. How are you going to get out now, Imperial?
