00101 King and General

“ ……. ”

I swallowed a saliva. From now on, I had a feeling that a war would unfold.

The Knight's Blitz attack doesn't work, nor ranged attacks with Archers. The Imperial Army has two options left. The first was to retreat. There were no generals who would choose to retreat in a situation where there was no outcome, and even retreat would not benefit from it. So the choice was actually one.

A wave of black shadows floods from the walls of the mist. With a refined human warlord. Unlike the rural villagers of the mountain village who once roared in a frenzy, the Empire army used trumpets and drums. The sound of the horn in the fog and the ground cried out softly.

“Here we go.”

Melee warfare ahead of infantry.

The Imperial Army generals have formed a port and are approaching here gradually. Orc Javelin Hurlers and Goblin Catapults are relentless. However, I was struck by dense spears like a thorn bush, and the power of spears, stones, and so low. Even if you drop a stone in the pond, the Empire army does not fall into a throwing attack, as if it had quickly subsided. Damn it.

That's when the catapult kicks in behind you. It was the catapult that broke us in the Black Mountains. Instead of a radically shorter range, he was able to deliver heavy rocks and use them in the field rather than with siege weapons. Commander Zephar brought all the catapults from the fortresses for this time.

Ten chunks of rock all crossed the air at once. They have been shot into the enemy beyond the fog barrier. The intestinal disease was very dense due to the nature of the disease, and this formation was very vulnerable to cannon fire. The catapult was the archenemy's enemy, since there are no cannons in the world yet.

“Shhh!”

“Blood, move! ”

“Don't avoid it! Motherfuckers, stay in line! ”

A boulder swung at the Imperial troops. Practically significant, but psychological withdrawal was the most severe. Imagine a meteor falling from the misty sky. There are very few humans who can maintain a heavy rank when a lump of rock hits their head.

Laura simply flatters.

“Hmm, it was a pity to leave the entire catapult behind to hold the center and the left wing of our Demon King's army. ”

“Stubbornness in strategic victory has cost us tactical damage. ”

The Imperial Army, of course, had a catapult. However, since the clock is limited due to the fog, it is difficult to use the catapult, I would rather go into brute force shooting to tie the middle and left sides of the Demon Lord's army. The Imperial Army achieved its goal, but now it has to be unilaterally beaten by us. There's a strategy for everything.

I kicked my tongue as I watched the enemy.

“Tsu tsu tsu.”

I expected the catapult to have the effect of disrupting enemy lines. My expectations were simply betrayed. The Imperial Army was confused, but the line did not collapse. They maintain a steady pace and gradually get closer to the seriousness of their allies. Have you seen those lunatics?

“What superhumans are the sole guardians of the acidity, their armies, and the empire?" There's no turning back. It's absurd. ”

“Not a conscription, but a paratrooper. The armed forces of the Habsburg Empire have been known for their valor. …… perhaps a direct unit of Von Rosenberg Change Bag. They have been trained at all times to protect humanity. He'll run in front of an ordinary soldier. ”

“Humanity! ”

I growled.

“For mankind. To protect humanity. They're all rotten light bulbs. Let me tell you the truth, Laura. If there's no profit at all, the cause can never move a large person. The Habsburg Empire provided the soldiers with proper food on this expedition. ”

This war was staged by me. Over the past few months, I have borrowed the information network from the Kunkuska Council and thoroughly identified the continent. The head of the Habsburg Empire was able to see what propaganda he was mobilizing.

“Starting this year, the continental nations began harvesting large quantities of the Black Herb. But Mincho is still suffering from the plague. Do you know why? Because the Black Herb is given priority to the military. A black hub that each government desperately cultivates. There's plenty of room in the warehouse to heal all the paramedics. Still, they don't open the Storage…… If you want the Black Herb, apply to the army! ”

No country can go to war with an army alone. In this era, the Conscription is used as a Lancer or Meat Shield. Recruiting troops requires facing strong complaints and resistance in the villages, and it takes a long time to travel through all the villages in the province. The majority of the countries have decided that we would rather use the Black Herb as bait.

Eventually, people turn their backs on the village to find the Black Herb and walk to the army rally point. To feed the family. To protect the village. Among them, there are few who crawl around with the last hope. However, it is very unlikely that a sick person will walk a long way to the rally point. I just lost my strength on the side of the road. All the roads on the continent are now creating a procession of sick people....

“The patron saint of humanity and all that. If the early lords had responded well in the beginning, there would have been fewer problems for the colonists to suffer from the plague. I've been paying taxes to grow Black Herbs, and now I'm threatening to give you no medicine if you're not going to be a soldier. All liability and damage will be borne by the Territory. Dressing it up in the name of humanity... That's not even close! ”

The same was true of von Rosenberg's change bag. He gave the Black Herb to the Knights and Elite Soldiers unconditionally. As the change bag retreated after losing the territory, there was little reason for the elite to escape. It was a blessing.

A wise choice for a change bag. But what about the rest of the people? They defended humanity and abandoned themselves. For whom? I have no choice but to question that. If there are no people to protect the empire and the bag of change, there is only one human left. It is the kingdom of nobility. The royal court. What is humanity! People want to yell, "Don't make fun of me."

So the landlord simply changed the owner from a human aristocrat to the Demon King.

The Black Herb was not given by the change bag, and my 6th legion distributed it under my command. The Kunkusa Parliament has been contracting herbal fields in the Magic Cube and has been raising the Black Herb largely since last year. I had ownership of 5% of the entire Black Hub in accordance with my agreement with the Commerce. I solved it. The family that was waiting for the day of death immediately regained their knights. The British people cheered for our troops. I voluntarily accept Commander Barbatos as Earl…… Who guarded humanity.

After all, the Habsburg Empire is just black and green with justification on its mouth. I will break your plausible mask.

Not yet, but not too far into the future. My favorite thing to do is to mudfoot the pride of a man who advances his cause like you. I look forward to it.

Laura looks at my face and narrows her eyebrows as if she were in trouble.

“Hmph. The master has a bad idea.... ”

“Don't set me up. There's no devil like me who's always had pure, bright thoughts. ”

“Are you mistaken for a girl who just heard the word that doesn't fit you best? ”

“It's a mistake. It's a complete mistake. ”

Laura chuckles. The reverence for the monarch seemed to be fading. Not exactly an arrogant, blasphemous servant. Perhaps I should teach you a lesson in humility in bed after the battle.

“Grrrrrgh!" ”

“Push! Push! ”

Finally, the Orc Longbowman and the Empire Army Longbowman confront each other. It's a dogfight. The opposing Pokémon's spear is stretching out, and they have to dive into the swamp. In this case, the length of the ledge was reasonably advantageous. The length or thickness of the spear was superior to the human spear.

To reverse this disadvantage, the Imperial Army mobilized a hippocampus knight. Knights stand at the forefront of the Lancer, holding both swords instead of Lance. They cut the Orc Spear into pieces and struggled to create a gap for their bowman to squeeze through.

This method was quite effective. The knight should have dealt with an ogre, but the knight chopped off his spear quickly and squeezed between the soldier and the soldier, while the large ogre was unable to show such tricks. The Imperial Army has been hip-deep in knighthood and pushing the Orc Longbowman away.

I waited for this moment.

I gave orders in my heart. As soon as I got my orders, the death knights who had been hiding in the shadow of Orc Lancers popped out. The sudden appearance of the Black Knights has allowed the Imperial Army to ambush them. The knights are slain with their bodies pierced in vain. Ten Imperial knights slam their faces in the dirt on the ground.

A new army immediately entered from the enemy. They plunge boldly into battle with the Knight of Death, despite the many Orcs piercing their spears. I laughed at the sight.

“Waste of effort.”

I gave the order. Immediately before the Imperial Knight arrived, the Death Knight became a ghost and hid in the shadows. The Imperial Knights yell at the whale for some nonsense. It was a "cowardly" commercial tour.

“That's the best compliment. Cowardice wins this side and cowardice does not defeat that side. The cost of defeat is the death of the squadron of soldiers under your command. Needless to say, it's virtue. ”

“I don't think they mean it.... By the way, Joo, it seems that the person who claimed to be innocent just a moment ago is not a word to put in his mouth. ”

“I am purely a coward. ”

I spoke freely. Laura glanced at this side with a cold expression, but what do you think? The world was different, different, different laws.

The knights painstakingly cast a shadow with their swords, but it was a complete waste of time. They gave up and returned to their original mission. I cut through the Orc Lancer's spear hard. Then it seemed like the Imperial Army commander was overwhelming the Demon Prince.

“Takapo.”

I muttered cheerfully as I commanded the symphony. The knights of death rise from the shadows. The Imperial Knight who was distracted by the Orc Lancer allowed another raid. The Imperial Knights scream in heat. Such sights repeated.

The Imperial Knight had to be sensitive about when the Knight of Death would attack while the Orcs were stabbing him. As a knight, you must be crazy and jumpy. If not, dozens of windows are swarming in front of you. It was virtually impossible. Eventually, an error fell and was struck by an Orc spear or killed by a Death Knight.

The error was not something that was maintained indefinitely. I was only able to maintain the error for a short period of time, unless I was a soothsayer. I had to mobilize the error in order to move the thick spear of the Orc. The Imperial Knight consumed the error rapidly. There was nothing to fear about the fallen knights. The Imperial Knight waits for death and wields his two-handed sword endlessly.

The Imperial Knights were indeed deceptively distributed. The ranks of the Orc Lancers are forced to retreat to their valiant pairs.

Just five meters.

At the beginning, the Orcs retreated 5 meters. Over fifty Imperial knights were killed only in front of me for that five meters. It was a simple calculation, the cost of ten articles was only a meter forward.

We don't know exactly how many knights the Imperium has sent here. But it was as sure as this. Ten knights' one-meter advancement was not an acceptable combat charge for the Empire Army.
