Lesson 20: An ambush in front of a military city

"Everybody, are we all set?

Rio asks the two generals before the troops by the aligned tens of thousands.

General Holkes of the Glenvarga Empire and General Holland of the Gardis Empire.

Both will lead the army.

"Yes, no problem"

General Holkes responds in a good mood.

General Holland, by contrast, was leaning down.

"... I'm sorry. We couldn't get them all together."

"No, fine. You've collected enough."

Around 120,000 troops are in front of us.

The breakdown is 20,000 for the Glenvarga Empire and 100,000 for the Gardis Empire. The Gardis Imperial Army is more overwhelming because it is they who carry out the battle mainly and the Glenvalga Army has strong support and surveillance aspects.

The power of the Gardis Empire was about to be 200,000 thanks to the gathering of forces from all over the country on the Plains of Oneiros. At the request of the Gardis Empire, we decided to leave 100,000 because they said they wanted power to quell the refugees.

One hundred thousand was supposed to be gathered in the original plan.

"I have heard the report. I hear some of them escaped."

There were dozens of escapees last night.

The fact that it was told that he would return to the Gardis Empire in the evening left some soldiers unprepared and in a state of panic. Which unit will participate in the operation will be forced to do so if it is already a matter of decision and remains on the Oneiros Plains.

If we can't go back north, we'll have to head south.

On the part of the Glenvarga Empire, however, a vigilant attitude is laid by the military. It is imperative that security be disturbed if refugees who have lost their livelihood base are to be pushed over.

So inhibit the intrusion at all costs.

"Anyone who tries to come this way has been taken into custody to the fullest extent possible, but the vast majority has been disposed of on the spot, I don't mind."

"... Yes"

I really wanted to say even one of my complaints.

But I can't say anything because I, the general, know that if I complain, I will be held accountable to the entire army.

"The reduced amount would be enough if you could be active locally"

"Absolutely."

Military city of Monston.

An important city in the war against the Glenvarga Empire, where supplies consumed by the war are supplied from everywhere. For this reason, there is only one street large enough to march on the south side, but on the north side there are streets connected from various locations, and there are several gates to facilitate entry and exit.

"While it's a military city, I guess it's natural that that city fell"

Cities converted after the founding of the Gardis Empire.

For this reason we basically only assumed raids from the south, and the defense against the north was thin.

"Please don't tell him that. I couldn't trust Monston's lord because it was an empire that was gathered together."

Cities where the power of war can be gathered. In the unlikely event of a rebellion, it had made it vulnerable to attacks from the inside so that it could be suppressed promptly.

This time, all those measures are on the back.

Such a military city looks far away.

"- Dense formation!

Soldiers lined up with large shields to the left and right of the street in response to the voice of General Holland on the horse.

Their role is to prevent surprise attacks.

- Hyun-hyun!

Arrows fly from the grass away. It's hundreds of copies at the same time.

"Hey, what...!?

General Holland is surprised by the unexpected.

The Grand Shield Squad holds the Grand Shield up to prevent the arrows.

"I noticed signs of something, but I didn't know you were so...!

This time, scouts can't scout long distances, although they were putting out. It looks like there are no demons on the streets that have been maintained, but if they come off at all, they will easily encounter the great army of demons.

So we've only been able to do reconnaissance near the street.

It's a great place to see, so still there shouldn't have been a problem. However, a large number of bows and arrows are released from the meadow, which is only about the height of the human hips. There is definitely some kind of threat lurking.

"Gu, uhh..."

Some soldiers fell down with a groan.

If you look, the perimeter of the fallen soldier was bright red wet with blood, even the soldier who dropped his arm because of the amputation.

"That's weird."

"Yes."

Sylvia agreed to my whining.

I didn't realize you were lurking as far as Sylvia as well as me until just before the raid started. Now we can sense that there are tons of demons lurking in the meadows because of the raid.

"Goblin."

The signs are weak, definitely goblin's.

Goblin Archer. A goblin that has been in possession of the ability to create bows and arrows from birth with objects that are natural.

An arrow that flies as you might expect from its ability is just a piece of pointed stone bracketed around the tip of a tree branch. Soldiers in armor are safe to hit. However, you can't be alarmed because a solid arrow like the one the soldier handles will fly as well if you picked it up somewhere.

If you're away because of your low status, you can't help but overlook the goblins.

But it's impossible to miss the demons behind the goblins.

"Oak......"

"Besides, there's even a high oak."

Purple oak with rough breath.

There was even an oak with a hand axe, throwing an axe at the torso where they had become defenseless to defend the arrows and attacking the soldiers.

"Damn, the Monston gates are in sight..."

An abrupt ambush.

General Holland, who did not assume an ambush because the demon is his opponent, is irritated.

"General Holland"

"What is it, General Holkes?"

"This one is completely disadvantaged by an ambush,"

General Holkes, who gave him the horse, advances.

I have command over General Holland, who has been able to become the Gardis Empire in the operation. But the final decision rests with General Holkes. General Holkes, for once, has taken the body of prophecy, but it was almost a word close to an order.

- Ghuaaa!

- Guh!

That's when the high oak that was surrounding the street raids as it grows ambitious.

"Hino, they're on their way!

"What are you gonna do!?

Some of the soldiers were frightened to see the high oak coming in and needed a quick response.

"Let's do something about the situation first. It's better for humans to fight in cities than in enclosed plains."

"Oh, oh... right"

"Bye."

General Holkes will lead the Glenvarga Imperial Army to Monston.

The role of the remaining Gardis Imperial Army is to deal with approaching high oaks from left to right and the Lord.

"Move on!

"Oh, hey......!

Soldiers on horses run.

A soldier from the Gardis Imperial Army tries to speak up when he sees the sight, but it is stopped by a soldier from a colleague who was nearby.

Make the survival of the Glenvarga Imperial Army a priority in the event of a critical situation.

It was decided from the beginning, and we are not in a situation where any objections can be accepted. In the worst case scenario, he could be hanged for military interrogation and punished.

We follow behind the Glenvarga Imperial Army, too.

The Glenvarga Imperial Army, which appears to be fleeing first, but has a role to play in making sure Monston, the getaway, is not threatened. In the worst case scenario, we're told to make sacrifices from ourselves, but protect us.

"- There he is!

"Oh, did you find it?"

Sylvia's consciousness was directed elsewhere as she ran forward.

"I want to leave to help the Gardis Imperial Army. May I?

"Oh. I'm having trouble drastically depriving you of your power after just leaving like this. If there's a threat they can't deal with, deal with it."

"Yes."

Sylvia's figure is next door, disappearing softly.

"Are you okay?

"You acted alone because you thought you could handle it on your own because you meant Sylvia."

Ira whining out of anxiety.

"Neither do you, but isn't there something in Monston?

"No way--"

I tried to deny Ira's idea, but when I stopped my legs and turned my consciousness toward Monston, I jumped immediately [jump (jump)],

Kick in at the same time as you land above the outer wall.

Then, the person in front of him gently raises his bow and takes it.

"I tried to reduce the number a little, but they noticed..."

"Charles Sacrina"

"... I remember naming you, I don't"

"There was someone who knew you."

It was the archer who had confronted Rio - Charles Sacrina - who was on Monston's outer wall.
