Dungeon Defense (WN)

The sound of the trumpet rumbles in the enemy's seriousness.

You didn't expect to cross the river without any preparation. He would have been more relaxed looking over here, trying to understand the condition of our troops. But the twelve mercenary commanders, leading Laura, followed by three hundred horsemen, ran for their lives.

I made a bitter smile.

“We can't stop them. Let's go after him. ”

You tug at the horse. The horse snarls and steps off its hoof. This guy was given to me by Barbatos. He had a nice black mane. My horseback riding technique was frankly dull, but he was as coarse as the dirt on a river this thin.

Hundreds of cavalry crewed across the river.

It was spectacular.

With a splashing sound from all around, there was a blizzard of clouds everywhere. The sunlight falls over the white Alps. Just as the evening curtain shined brightly in light of the thin curtain, like him, the watermelon spread brightly as a curtain of sunlight.

“Duke, it's dangerous! Step back!”

Dwarf mercenary commander catches up with Laura.

“I don't want to hide behind soldiers and be a coward! ”

“To a commander, the bravery of a soldier is nothing but reckless nonsense! Your Majesty, please reconsider! ”

“Then you'll have to go ahead of me. ”

You hear Laura laughing. I was chasing two people behind me, and I couldn't hear a word through the door, but I was able to figure out exactly what I was talking about.

“I am ahead of you, and you are ahead of me. There's nothing wrong with you! ”

The mercenary commanders have lost their words.

Laura fires her final blow against it.

“A new army. Anyone who arrives late to the enemy camp will be punished by military law! The late will be judged unworthy of the gentleman of Helvetica! ”

Laura flies her blonde hair, speeding up her horse. The mercenary commanders may be absurd, but what can I do? Of course, you can't make the Commander-in-Chief the leader.

“Dammit! I'm taking orders! ”

“In my life, I never thought I'd accept such a man as my deputy monarch! ”

The commanders rush past Laura. I don't know. Maybe it's time to do something about it.

The commanders followed the commanders with their short-term horses. Hundreds of cavalry made it across the river in an instant.

The enemy is still unable to form a line. He just fires an arrow in a burst. Hundreds of friendlies. Shooting a few arrows at a restless horseman won't fit you well.

The cavalry jumps to the edge of the chasm with no defensive force.

Uh, uh, the enemy has allowed the cavalry to enter.

The enemy somehow tries to gather around each other and create a vibration. In fact, there were about 20 people who managed to get together. But the vibrations made like that were extremely passive.

“Do not attack the dust! ”

Laura shouts. She's a step behind the mercenary commanders.

“Stop the enemy from gathering! Hunting!”

The mercenaries in the battlefield immediately understood Laura's words. An ally passes by, ignoring the infantry in the camp. And I dealt with the alphoenix who had not joined my colleagues.

This side swings the curve in addition to the speed of the horse, and the enemy is stunned. It allowed the cavalry to enter without drawing a line. The results will be clear.

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Hooray, retreat! Fall back!"

A moment of solidarity was built.

An army of roughly 200 men was defeated without a single hand. All were hunted except for a few who had fled imminently from the moment we crossed the river - truly savvy in how to live in the world.

An army of agitated enemies casually fire arrows, throwing spears at each other, and take care of them. He would have been terrified to see his colleague slaughtered. Five or six people were hit by arrows and the injured particles coldly surrendered.

About 50 people have been taken captive. They are surrounded by fierce-looking Dwarves and elves who look like chewing gum to fit the image of their kind. Laura asks, looking at the strangely bored prisoners.

“Who is your commander?" ”

The soldier stares at Laura and writhes. I felt guilty about divulging friendly information. Laura swung her sword in an instant. The blade pierces the center of the prisoner's neck.

“Cough, cough... ”

It sounded like a boiling stinger. The prisoner screams miserably that one man's last breath is left behind and is powerless in the grass.

“Hmm.”

Laura slaps Longsod with a light blow and drains the blood from the blade. She turns her head and looks at the next prisoner. The prisoner is hyik, and he is terrified.

“Who is the Commander?" ”

“Duke Sporzah! ”

The prisoner falls to his knees.

Ludovico de Sporza. He was the lord of the great city of Milan. In the war against the Farnese family, they supported the current royal family. Milan is sworn to rule Sardinia's northern front. It was more than adequate to take command of the General in this war.

“Sporzah, the Duke of Milan. Fair enough.”

Laura nods.

“Is Earl Fabia under the command of Duke Milan? ”

“I'm sorry. Until then... ”

It was difficult for a pawn to accurately understand his command personnel. Fortunately, not all soldiers are. Laura finds out that Earl Fabia is in the enemy army. We also learned that the enemy is based in a city called Novara.

While Laura interrogates the prisoners and looks at the map, the rest of her army relaxes down the river. Even though it wasn't a big battle, the soldiers looked relaxed because they had won a cheerful battle at the beginning.

“What do you say, Duke? ”

I asked Laura.

By the way, I entered the battlefield like Laura did, but I didn't fight her myself. I just grabbed the crossbow across my back and shot a few arrows. I'm a pacifist. It is my creed to leave the scary fight to the scary lady.

“Well, the enemy has turned the city into a home instead of a headquarters. ”

Laura puts her hand on the map. The mercenary commanders gather around and listen to her.

“There's only one reason they didn't march on the city. We don't have enough troops yet. ”

The Empire has been thinking of war from the beginning. Sardinia, on the other hand, wants to see a diplomatic battle. Sardinia, of course, is half slow at the speed of combat.

There was another factor that allowed that half-footprint to be stretched into one step. It was our empire that monopolized the Helvetica mercenaries. Even for Sardinia, Helvetica was the fastest and easiest mercenary market available. We took the place…….

Even if Sardinia summons an army of cowards, it will be too late. We are ahead of the enemy.

“They're mustering mercenaries in central Sardinia by now. Use the city as a base to defend itself until all troops are gathered. That's the enemy's intention. ”

“Your Grace, the defensive forces guarding the city won't be too great. ”

An Elven mercenary commander told me.

“The enemy has yet to see what we have marched on. If we march now, we can easily surround Milan. ”

“That's the bottom line. ”

Laura shakes her head.

“They don't have mercenaries. They don't even have civilians. If you want to protect your hometown, you'll be desperate to cultivate civilians. Moreover, Milan is a major city. I can't just drop it. ”

I see. Sardinia's defensive strategies were taken in consideration of the citizen soldier's affections.

Civilians are weaker than mercenaries. However, limited to fighting to defend your hometown, it can sometimes exert incredible combat power. If the city falls, his family, parents, and children are plundered. We must resist the invaders desperately.

“Also, see where Nova, the enemy's home, is located. ”

Laura points to the map.

“It's right next to Milan, Your Grace. ”

“Yes. As soon as we attack Milan, it's a place where we can send our troops." In other words, the enemy has likely deployed civilians in Milan and a small number of other mercenaries. ”

“Definitely……. ”

The commanders take their chin seriously.

Laura is convinced and determined.

“Listen to the captain. The basic strategy of the enemy forces lies in the aid of the civilian and mercenary forces. Civilians defend Milan, and mercenaries, as a minority, will stand in our way. The goal of this operation is to buy time until there are enough troops gathered from the rear. ”

The commanders nodded, saying they understood well. Some people looked impressed. Part of it included me as well.

I'm an amateur in the military. But I do know what Laura's great at. Reading the other person's attention all the time is a trait and strength for Laura.

Combines scattered information like debris to uncover enemy operational plans. It looks easy to put into words, but there are only two pieces of information Laura actually obtained from the prisoners. The enemy commander is Duke Milan. And the headline is in Nova.

I had only two pieces of information and quickly combined the whole strategy. It wasn't a trick a criminal like me could imitate. The mercenary commanders must have also realized the talents of their Commander-in-Chief. There were still a lot of anti-Semitic commanders.

Laura said.

“If we attack Milan here, we will play with the enemy's intentions. The attack on Milan is forbidden. ”

“Your Grace, why don't you plunder the vicinity of Milan at will? ”

The Dwarf mercenary commander has proposed. It was a commander who was baptized with a kiss from Laura.

“The Duke of Milan cannot be trapped when the city is looted. ”

“Instead, our empire army will be infamous. ”

Laura shakes her head again.

“You hurt innocent people because of the noble squabble. Not allowed.”

“Plunder in war is not a crime, Your Grace. ”

“Because war itself is an evil door. We don't have to turn our people against ourselves. ”

The commanders tilt their heads. There was a question in everyone's eyes.

“I don't know what to do if the Siege Wars are not pillaged. ”

“You misunderstood me. I gave the order not to touch Milan. ”

Laura finds a specific spot on the map with her fingertips.

“Not Milan. It doesn't matter where our empire has the right to plunder in all fairness. ”

Fabia.

Laura pointed out that the letter was written in a handwriting.

“We don't attack Milan, we don't attack Nova. Pass quickly between the two cities and head for Fabia. An area where the main house was sold as a slave. How dare Earl Fabia insult His Majesty? ”

She smiles.

“Now you won't be able to defend those who have been plundered by us. Soldier. Infiltrate Fabia. ”
