A long box-shaped formation to the north and south, made up of twenty-four knights.
In the center of it, a Grade A knight stood with chest armor and hatch released.
In the cockpit, the deputy commander sits and looks far west with his legs together.
"You're working a lot harder."
Say it sounds interesting.
From the west, the running roar of heavy horseback "Heavy Lancer" is heard far away, and the faint blink of the light arrow (magic missile) emitted by the old lady "Old Lady" can be glimpsed from time to time.
It showed that the knights of the Merchant Alliance were still unbroken.
"If it fits, are you going out?"
The former instructor's voice is heard from the knight next to his left. This one is standing in the knight's right palm. The index finger that made him stand is replaced by a handrail.
This knight has a pointed shape on both shoulders and the back of his head, and his figure is very different from that of a deputy commander horseman standing next to him.
All we have in common is the swelling and exuberance of all parts of the body, characteristic of a class A knight.
This swelling boost is a major factor in creating a line of voluminous bodies and shaping their ferocious and intimidating appearance.
Naturally, it is not a decoration. That part is the installation space for the Auxiliary Demon Square.
Auxiliary demon squares are, in a nutshell, "things that move knights efficiently with less magic".
In detail, each of them has various roles in optimizing the movement of various parts, being a multiplier device, and suppressing output fluctuations with waves.
Laminated with numerous auxiliary demon squares and packed tightly and without gaps is the bulging and uplifting part.
If you change your view, this swelling and exuberance can be said to be a testament to strength.
The renovation of knights mainly refers to the replacement or addition of these auxiliary demon squares.
"Come on, can't that be too harsh? At least we need to get to him while he's still alive."
To the words of the former instructor, the vice president bends his mouth sarcastically.
I'm sorry, and I respond with a nigga, former instructor.
Looking at it, the deputy head continues.
"It won't hold much longer anyway. But that means you didn't have enough strength."
And to the west, in the direction of the Knight of the Merchant Alliance, tell him to make a fool of himself.
"Reflect on yourself in the afterlife."
Throw a glance at the former instructor. The former instructor, who perceived the intention to receive it, turned himself over to the cockpit.
The deputy commander sheds a hint of magic on his own riding. Taking it, the left and right hatches close smoothly, and the armor descends without sound from the top.
Seeing how it goes, the surrounding pilots also fit into the cockpit one after the other, closing it with a hatch.
I don't need instructions. The pilots here are a bunch of trained, elite men.
Satisfied with his subordinates' movements, the deputy raised his right arm high when connected to external audio.
And scream.
"Forward!"
At the same time, swing your right arm forward and down.
Horizontal formations created by the knights of advanced and intermediate pilots began to move westward.
The Knight Twelve Horsemen of the Lower Pilot are on standby in this occasion.
The order given earlier was to sweep Heavy Lancer, a heavy horseback riding that the main force leaked. The magic attack earlier consumed quite a bit of magic, so I don't have much leeway.
Besides, the honor of fighting with a sword on the battlefield doesn't come around so easily to junior pilots.
(Aren't you traveling southwest for a long time?)
After constantly moving forward, the deputy captain pounded his tongue.
The battlefield is farther than assumed.
Relying on the moonlight, we look far beyond the battle that is going on.
Entry distance is more than double what was already planned. The rear knights and I got quite a distance apart.
This makes it difficult to capture escaped enemies, no matter how long a range of magic attacks may be.
(Issue a one-horse order to move both juniors)
When I was thinking that, the right side of my vision accidentally glowed yellow.
(Beep!)
Reflectively, put up a shield.
Shortly afterwards, a beam of polar light struck the sides of the formation directly.
The light penetrates a long direction from north to south through a straight line.
The bundles of light bounced by shields and knights became fine muscles and diffused around them, burning the pilots' eyes with an overwhelming amount of light.
(Magic attack!
The deputy commander takes a breath.
Definitely. And it's pretty high output.
Half a second late, a fierce burst makes the air tremble.
(Enemy! Where? Who?)
He opens his eyes narrowly, which were instantly closed, and looks around.
But my vision hasn't gone back yet. The neighbor's knight and shoulder are bumped, and the impact shakes the cockpit.
(Bad)
The party is loose.
Formations, when combined, exert a strong force.
Now that we have been struck unintentionally, it is time not to disturb the line.
All hands in line.
But I couldn't say enough.
Because from the north, that is, from the direction in which the yellow light came, a swarm of heavy horseback riding Heavy Lancers suddenly appeared and stormed in.
Some B-class knight falls unstoppable.
"From a magic attack, he said it was an ambush!
The deputy commander was stunned.
But at the same time, I dye my face red with anger, and I can roar.
"Don't lick it! The beast flair!
The auxiliary magic formations are supplied with magic, which raises the roar and starts.
The shielded deputy commander rides receives and bounces off a heavy horse ride, Heavy Lancer.
The pressure of the heavy horseback "Heavy Lancer" is transmitted, and the ground is cracked and the feet are engulfed. But if you're a Class A knight, it's nothing like that.
In his returning vision, the right-wing Class A knight was shielding the Class B knight from a heavy horseback, the Heavy Lancer.
"Re-tighten it! Defense!"
The deputy commander shouts as far as his voice is concerned.
Fortunately, within sight, there are no seriously damaged rides. But I was totally surprised.
To that humiliation, bite your back teeth.
Turning his sight, a crowd of heavily ridden horse Heavy Lancers, who had successfully struck off, were drawing a loud arc to the west to dare strike again.
(Earlier magic attack, what was that?
The deputy commander asks himself as he prepares for the next assault.
Of the enemy who unleashed the magic attack, I can't grasp who I am. Naturally, it is also unclear whether there will be another magic attack.
(Heavy horse riding Heavy Lancer does not possess the ability to attack magically)
I know that.
(So there's another warcraft with you? Um, there's the Heavy Lancer, a heavy horseback gathering in a single race?
The deputy commander shook his head.
(Impossible)
Once the Deputy Head of Delegation holds the inquiry. Anyway, now, we need to deal with it more than we need to find out what caused it.
Give a signal to change direction. Also at the same time, the class A knights were concentrated on the west and north sides. to prepare for assault and magic attacks.
And he sent a piercing gaze behind the book of the night that was lowered to the north.
Tauro, the deputy commander, they are godless, and there is no reason to know what was going on.
The heavy horse riding "Heavy Lancer" on this occasion was fundamentally different from the heavy horse riding "Heavy Lancer" known to the deputy commanders.
Typically, only Heavy Lancer, a heavy horse riding far from the Spirit Forest, a residence, meets people in the world of men.
But the herd of heavy horse riders here, the Heavy Lancers, was led by the chief.
And there are few high-ranking beings like the head of Heavy Lancer that people have ever seen before.
The chief was now rebuilding half the herd and starting to fight back from the chaos brought about by the Knights' long-range magic attack.
……
Far back on the north side, the head of heavy horse riding Heavy Lancer stands silently low.
The stature is more than two times larger, and there are patterns of Kabuki neighborhoods in various parts of the body. The corners were also long, at a glance, and the difference in character was felt from the other heavy horse riding Heavy Lancers.
At the end of cooling time, a large corner shines hard again on the lemon yellow. I don't have it except for the length, it's the power of a magical ranged attack.
A high voltage begins to destroy the insulation of the surrounding air, causing a leak sound called jirri.
The pressure rapidly increases and insulation by the magic power of the length approaches the limit.
A few moments later, columns of light were fired with loud acoustics as they emitted fierce arc light around them.
(Coming!
The deputy commander shall be in charge.
Behind the darkness, another magical attack was launched. Half a beat late, a burst sound enough to destroy the tympanic membrane.
destructive power like heavy artillery. But just the second time, a Class A knight travels north, perfectly prevents it with their shield.
But the blast subsided. In a very small time difference, he received another assault from the side.
"Shh!
My voice leaks unexpectedly.
The timing is too good. I have to focus on recieving it.
The lead is, totally on the other side. I can't grasp the thread of the counterattack.
"... at the minute of the beast"
The vice president repeats the same words and trembles in disgrace.
Whatever the famous Knights opponent is, the opponent is a beast. It wasn't something I could forgive, such as being in the lead.
But no matter how much the vice president doesn't allow, the reality remains the same.
The Knights main force was being flirted with, although it was only the fatal damage that was spared.
"Ooh! Run, run!
The old lady Old Lady drastically drives herds of heavy horse riding Heavy Lancers.
It has changed from a sheepdog to a hound. Heavy Lancer is also desperate for heavy riding.
"Run! If you don't like it, die!
Words that have already been uttered are close to the Commandos.
It releases a rather heavy arrow of light (magic missile) from time to time.
I will not allow you to slow down.
I will not allow you to change your direction.
The only thing I can forgive is walking in the direction where the Knights seem to be.
(... there he is!
Forward, I see a group that seems to be the Knights' main force.
(In battle?
Surprisingly, we've already fought.
The opponent looks like a bunch of heavy horse riding Heavy Lancers. He was here for what he felt was not enough.
If you're going to hit the heavy horse "Heavy Lancer," the opposite is convenient.
Making them turn to the person they've been waiting for only makes them happy,
Just in case, look for Cornell.
(Probably not)
I can't say for sure, but I'm sure first. Cornell, or I can't see a lower pilot's knight.
Looks like the guys who were forming the party came straight in.
(Heavy Lancer on horseback)
There's a dark grin on my face.
As planned. There's nothing to blame.
Add the last whip to the heavy horse riding Heavy Lancer and scream.
"Go!"
As much as he put the shooting in his ass, Heavy Lancer began to walk with all his strength.
The maximum speed is far above the old lady's "Old Lady" and can no longer be followed.
I'm leaving for the south side.
"... All right"
Looking back, there was a look at the heavy horse "Heavy Lancers" who jumped into a group of knights at a meteor-like rate.
Even from this distance, we can see that a group of knights fell into chaos.
"Zama, look."
I shrugged contentedly.
At that moment, the formation, organized by the knight, collapsed completely.
Where the formation was loosened by a series of magic and assault attacks, it was assaulted by another heavy horse, the Heavy Lancer.
Besides, this pressure is unusual.
An assault received twice earlier is a speed beyond comparison.
A lifeless jump in, as if it were in a fanatical warriorized "Berthak" state. Huge masses clash at high speeds, horns like Hercules giant beetles, breaking and crushing. But Heavy Lancer didn't stop on heavy horseback.
A knight in a pointed distinctive silhouette takes a blow from the diagonal rear and dances through the universe.
"Whoa!"
The former instructor speaks up to the unexpected shock.
The former teacher, a Class A knight, who was guarding the Deputy Commander's left hand, was looking north in alarm of the magic attack.
The blown knight penetrates the ground from the face.
The former instructor wakes up his body to get up instantly, but the leading heavy horse, Heavy Lancer, stepped on his back and pushed the knight down to depression.
"Bad."
The former instructor understands the situation and freezes.
The strength of this knight is fighting. In exchange for power and speed, the weight is made light and the armor thin.
Multiple heavy horseback riding Heavy Lancers step on its back and rush through it.
Severe vibrations rock the cockpit. The sound is also amazing.
But he pressed them, and the ominous sound of bikiri echoed in the cockpit.
"Hih!"
The former instructor perceives exactly what the sound means and screams small.
I couldn't stand the pressure, and there was a crack somewhere in the knight's chest.
"... I don't like this ah!
The voice is dyed of despair.
A crack arises on the wall in front of the former instructor, stretching, and increasing the number of sights to see and go. Soon the whole inside is covered in fine muscles.
A few moments later, when several heavy horseback riders, Heavy Lancers, stepped on with their hind legs, the thorax finally crumbled like an egg shell.
It's not just the knights of the former instructors. Many knights also blew up. Many Class B knights in particular are crushed, their hands, feet and other parts dangling high in the universe.
"Oh?"
The deputy commander groans. I didn't understand the situation.
Hit him in the face in the cockpit, his nose and mouth covered in blood.
From behind, the vice captain's knight, who was hit directly by several heavy horseback riders, was slapped in the blown back and spun hard with extra momentum.
Up, down, left, right, but I don't know yet.
"Ugh?
I feel uncomfortable with my voice and groan again.
My front teeth are all shattered, so I don't get a decent word. I get upset for a moment, but soon I hold back my feelings. That's what the commander did.
(Instructions must be given to subordinates)
I raise the knight's face in an attempt to check his surroundings.
What the deputy commander saw at that time was an intense yellow light, full of vision.
"What the hell, this..."
Cornell ends up in the cockpit.
Of the lower pilots' knights, far ahead. There, columns of light emitting fierce brilliance were shooting through the center of the formation.
Shortly afterwards, a group of heavy horse riders, the Heavy Lancers, arrive to kill the knights.
Two groups alternately storm the knights, and between them the light of a magical attack runs. It was total ravage.
They are not taking part in the fight after releasing their first magical attack. There are several reasons.
First of all, no instructions have been given. The last order given to them remains standing by.
Next distance.
From the current position, it doesn't arrive as good as the attack magic. If I were to join the fight, I had to advance quite a distance.
At the end of the day, the captain, who leads the lower pilot, is late in judgment.
If we were to join them, we should have rushed right after they ate a powerful magical crossfire.
That might have given him some of the recurring heavy horse riding Heavy Lancer assaults and made room for the main force to rebuild.
But the captain's passive patrol missed the time to head for backup.
……
The captain of the junior pilot is also staring at the battlefield with a pale face.
He also has a sense that he has lost his way and consequently lost opportunities.
But I also had a point.
Senior pilots hate the fact that junior pilots join their melee battles.
If they participate without instructions, they will never acknowledge it, even if it leads to victory. On the contrary, there is a risk of being disposed of for violating orders.
The captain knew it by staining himself. Because that's what his predecessor was.
No one is trying to rush any further.
Here I am now, a Class B knight of the Twelve. Opponents, by contrast, are probably more than forty. If we irritate ourselves badly and the spear is pointed, we're in danger.
Besides, they had important work to do.
Rescue and reporting.
The heavily ridden Heavy Lancers, who crushed the Knights' main force, do not turn to the Cornells, but disappear into the darkness around them.
"Mr. Senior Pilot, when you were riding a heavy horse, you didn't have to deal with him."
Cornell continues his words with a flashing look as he waits for Heavy Lancer, a heavy horse, to leave.
The kingdom's proud knighthood power was now in front of its eyes and crushed in front of a swarm of heavy horse riding Heavy Lancers.
The knights are being broken into huge horns, kicked to pieces with powerful hind legs, trampled and plunged into the ground.
The life or death of the pilot is also unknown.
……
There are no more words for junior pilots, including Cornell.
The attitude of the everyday advanced and intermediate pilots makes me less sympathetic.
However, as a pilot belonging to the Knights of the Kingdom, this dramatic reduction in the power of the war had something to keep his heart and soul out of the cold.
The Knights are not decorations. There are powerful forces around the kingdom, headed by the Empire.
"… water flows from high to low"
Those words came out with Cornell's mouth on them.
Loss of retention power can be an invasion factor alone.
"Isn't that bad?"
Cornell doesn't know what happened.
Maybe Tauro's alive, but there's no way to know at the moment.
Cornell just remembered. On the western border, when I fought an Imperial Knight and an unidentified horseman.
(Ugh)
All the surrounding countries are asking about the Kingdom's territory. I learned such illusions and shook myself unexpectedly.
