Dungeon Defense (WN)

As we head back, unfortunately, a group of cavalry has left the camp.

Probably running to get rid of us. I guess I was late for my meals. Response is slow. We've already checked everything we can with the scouts. We turn our heads without a doubt. The Republican cavalry has been chasing us for a long time, but we have gained nothing but dust from our hooves.

“ ……. ”

But I looked back one last time.

The dirt is rich where the horses have trampled. Beyond that, countless flags flare like a mirage. Maybe Daisy's standing under a flag. He must have found me.

“Lord?”

“It's nothing. I checked with the pursuers in case there were any loose ends. ”

I turned my head to the front.

I searched every inch of it with the telescope, but there was no Daisy. I'm still not sure. Do I have to honor Daisy's sacrifice? By pretending like I didn't notice anything, I should give her a satisfactory ending.

If not...... Is it right to tell me?

Should I reveal before my eyes that you failed in the most devastating and miserable way? What does it mean to respect Dory Daisy?

Either way, it was just self-satisfaction. It was obvious. The question was, which choice was actually for Daisy more? It was not for the role of Dantalian. Just for Daisy.

“Laura, I have something to tell you in advance about this battle. ”

“The Lord's wishes will be heard. ”

“Thank you.”

And I slowly opened my mouth.

* * *

I could recognize it at a glance. It was your father.

Twenty-four horsemen come across the plain and come this way. I knew my father was already there before I could see their faces.

Only my father wore a black horse, a black cloak, and clothes that covered his whole body in black. To be honest, my father had terrible eyes for picking clothes. The funny thing was that when I bought women clothes, I was also good at choosing them.

“It's your father.”

“Huh? Really? ”

Luke lowers his wheat bread and raises his head like an ostrich. Luke looks over at the plain and narrows his eyes.

“I can't see it because it's too far away. ”

“I'm sure. You're my father everywhere. What are you doing with those eyeholes? It's really useless if you don't recognize him either. ”

“ ……. ”

Around noon, the sun was shining, but the poisonous father seemed to be half in the shadows.

A blonde woman with bad hair next to her was noticeable, but decided to ignore it. It was not a human, but a monkey or a tree-like creature. There was no need to pay attention.

“Do you think he'll recognize us? ”

Luke whispers anxiously.

“You must be very angry. Honestly, I don't know how to look at the godfather. ”

“All you have to do is keep your mouth shut and expressionless. That's the only thing that doesn't make you look stupid. Don't say anything. ”

“…… Yes. ”

We gained the Republic's trust, and this time we marched. It was valid to torture Barbatos so badly. You'd think it would be unlikely our sister would be a double agent. If you really are traitors, then fight the Dantalian army. That means hiding too.

The scenario should not fall apart now that Luke is acting clumsily.

“ ……? ”

I saw something strange in my vision. It was your left foot. Are you lying?

The Demon King's father couldn't have left his body amputated. In other words, that left foot was meant to be left untreated by your father... How so?

The meaning of forgiveness, to show others that you have done something wrong and will never forget it. There's only one case your father has been able to forgive lately. I, the adopted daughter, was in a frenzy at the execution.

Cough.

I bit my lip. A stream of blood flows down the jawline.

Marvas, Gamegin, Citri, and pre-war Demon Kings all thought he was your absolute ally. After being cheap, I was relieved that I was pre-emptive, but not empowered. It was very unlikely that I would take on too much responsibility for my father. Maybe I was wrong.

“Hey, Daisy? He's bleeding from his mouth. ”

Marvas is a cheap prick, and that's how he demanded responsibility from his father. It's not like they don't know a fountain. Things that would not have been on the throne today had I not been my father, simply forgot grace and revealed my teeth.

Unfortunately, there was no way to punish them.

I was planning to die in this battle.

The scenario was simple. In the middle of the battle, I rush towards him alone. Your father would have expected me to come after you. When this side plunges into the enemy camp like an iron cage, they will use all sorts of means to destroy me.

A grudge against destroying Laura de Farnese.

Revenge for driving the Demon King Pymon to his death.

Finally, the condemnation for insulting the Demon King Barbato.

My father will kill me without hesitation. I am sure he will punish me with pure hatred. In doing so, he will remain a victim forever.

My father ran away from me. Your father's appearance disappeared because of the dirt caused by the hooves. I looked at the dust for as long as I could....

On June 13, 1513, both armies confronted Munich's plains.

It was a completely open terrain. I couldn't hide the ambush somewhere. There was also no tactic using the river. Both commanders' pure tactical abilities will divide them by their victory.

There are 15,000 of us in Habsburg.

On the other hand, Habsburg has nearly 22,000 troops. Just by the number of soldiers, the Empire army was overwhelmingly disadvantaged.

Of the 22,000 troops in the Republic, about 7,000 were militia. It may be difficult to assess, but it was not a very reliable force. Honestly, a human shield is nothing more than that.

“Did he also raise the militia in the first rank? ”

Laura smiles confidently as she looks around the camp.

“I feel ashamed because I have so little intention of using it as a meat shield. ”

“But it's just as effective. ”

“What. You have to respond to it in stone. Lord, prepare the Ogres. ”

I nod and raise my right hand.

Then, the two hundred ogres waiting in the rear move slowly. Kwung, Kwung, and the Ogre's greedy body shivered every time the ground shook. Soon, the two hundred ogres were all on the front lines.

Disturbance has caught the attention of Republican troops in the distance. The evidence was that the tip of the spear continued to move subtly. This meant that the soldier with the spear was constantly moving from side to side. In other words, he was afraid and looked around.

This is Laura's plan for the militia.

Elite Soldiers made it impossible for the civilians who were ordinary vigilantes in the city or rural areas to overcome the fear of Ogres. Charge like an Ogre is a Rhino. The militia is overwhelmed by this power and cannot hold out for a moment.

─ Crhaaa.

─ Grrr…….

Ogres spill their guts.

They starved for one deliberately. It was to take advantage of the Ogre habit of becoming more ferocious as I got hungry. I was going to lose that much stamina, but I didn't care if it was just one ogre. Looking at the humans, there was once again a terrible corner of the ogre.

“Look at that, Lord. ”

Laura points to the enemy with an attitude that she knew would do it.

“The Knights are moving. We're changing course. ”

“It's flowing as expected. ”

As we dispatched the ogres to the front, the Republican forces immediately responded. The knights that were spread out on both sides were placed in the center of the Great Wall.

If the ogre kept charging, the first line of militia would have collapsed badly. To stop it, the Republic needed to mix the knights in the middle of the first wave. Humans can only fight Ogres with knights.

This was also Laura's intention.

Only in infantry have our empire outperformed their opponents, but not in cavalry. Of course, it was because of the Knights. The superhuman knights were always a threat to the Demon King's army. Of course, Helvetica's mercenaries were all just a bunch of veterans, but I couldn't guarantee their victory or defeat if they collided in front of the Knights.

In short, how weak are the Republic's cavalry forces? This is where the battle will take place.

“Looks like half of them got out. Don't you think?”

Laura said in a cheerful voice.

By placing the ogre at the front, Laura captured two things: countermeasures against the militia and countermeasures against the cavalry. The militia won't be able to fight properly because they're afraid of Ogres, and the Knights have been scattered to get rid of them. It was a common gain.

“Very well. Blow the horn. ”

“Wow. Is it okay to not give and receive speeches? ”

“Save the wizards' stamina. Elizabeth and I had similar skills in speech anyway. There's no reason to waste power on each other. ”

Laura nods.

She looks at the deputies.

“Signal the war. ”

“Yes, duc! ”

The deputies wave their flags sharply left and right.

Immediately, dozens of horns started sounding in the plains.

─ Boooooo.

With the horn blowing over here, the Republics on the other side are echoing as well. Horns of the Barbarian and Naughty Demon Prince and Horns of the Clean and Orthodox Humans. The two tones intertwined in the center of the plain.

Laura raises her right hand high.

“All forces, advance! ”

The deputies repeat Laura's command aloud. Forward! Forward, forward! In an instant, one command filled the crowd with multiple voices. The Helvetica mercenaries take a vigorous step, as if awaiting.

I didn't have to make a copy of it. The ogres set foot in front of you, and the earth shakes at a steady pace. The Helvetica mercenaries chuckle and put their feet to the beat.

Then our troops stepped on their right and left feet with precise beats as if they were one giant mass. Two hundred ogres and 15,000 mercenaries crushed the ground in an instant, and the earth shook as if it were a small earthquake.

The distance between the two groups is narrowed. Laura gives a second order.

“Wizard Squad, fire. ”

“Fire!”

Thirty-six wizards shoot a huge ball of fire into the air. The chunk of fire swarms towards the enemy as it draws a long trail. Then, the Republic fired dozens of fireballs. The wizards make fun of their hands to stop the opponent from firing.

Though just before the fireball fell here, it was offset by an allied wizard's shield, but it was unable to stop the heat. The battlefield grew hotter and hotter.

It was the start of the battle.
