The Great Plains, stretching east of Yugfena, were in fact engulfed by the six-year-old turmoil of war.

I recall that in the earliest King's capital, he joined the battle with only fifty poor leaders in that small defense battle, almost forgotten.

Buried in people's memories without even being recognized as a skirmish between nations, which became known under the witchcraft name of "secret defensive warfare," etc., was supposed to be my original first line. Nominally, this battle is going to be the first battle.

Cardiac Leadership, several hundred and fifty. At the age of twelve, more than half of them led that unusual formation of a small lead army called the Horse Riders, and I was to line up next to the left of the Royal Knights' troops.

─ That's ridiculous. Didn't you say our army would use backward support of the border area as its main unit? How did this happen?

The Principality of Lindar United, the Duke of Denzel Army, a total of 30,000. against the Royal Army of Arksia, mobilizing 48,000 people.

The standing of a horde of black men filling the Great Plains, the sword trident and the fury, the screams, the disconnectors, the gunpowder and the horseshoes rock the earth.

"Shit, what the hell is that arrow! Soldier morale is falling on the sound and power and the front row of the Central Army is starting to collapse!!

In the middle of the Arxian army, a man who served as a liaison soldier with the army directly led by the commander-in-chief of the King's army shouted that he would run a horse and return to the front line or so. I calm down and give back to Altrus's horrible yelling.

"It is the legions at the apex of this country that make up the core of the central army. I'll get back on my feet right away. More than that..."

On the other side of the infantry cut, a high sound of gunpowder blasting simultaneously sounded.

This is the fifth time the war has begun. A scream splits, and the soldiers around them whirl up and shrink.

─ ─ Guns, I guess. Six years ago, I remember escaping in the midst of a Yugfena Castle fort under the fire of explosives. In studying gunpowder, it is abundantly possible that Denzel developed that weapon.

If an unknown weapon with little spare motion suddenly appeared on the battlefield fighting with a bow, sword and spear, the confusion of the soldier exposed to that bullet would be natural. I don't know how it works just by looking at it, I don't know when I'll be released, it's just fear that I have to go in with one of my armoured bodies on something like that.

That's the war in this world, so I can't help it.

"... you're marching further north than planned. They are outside the consciousness of enemy forces, allied armies, and both. I thought it might be too dangerous."

"I know, Oscar."

I nod at the voice of the Oscars beside me and move my head to the limit to think about how I should move. Thirty seconds to make a decision, I can't use it any more.

Two hundred and fifty of my Cardiac army, who were to be on the front line so that they could be pushed out with both the rear support and the inland leadership replenished, were in line between the central army and the left-wing army at the start of the war.

The confusion caused by the clash with the enemy forces flushed him to the left over schedule, and he is now in a situation where he is softly lurking his breath just to the right of earthen smoke heading in the opposite direction.

They are more prominent and forward than any other regiment in the Royal Army. I can hear the white-soldiers battle blurring right behind me.

We must retreat in order to cure the formation. But the rear is already blocked by the expansion of the left-wing white soldier battle, and we need to go another way to get back.

And for some reason, at the same time, we were caught on the defenseless right side of the enemy's central army.

"... sees it as an opportunity to be unrecognized by enemy forces and stirs up troops using enemy new weapons"

"Uhm, that's an interesting one!

When I'm ready to say so, Claudia on the other side laughs belligerently already.

"What was the new arrow like, Olburn!

"We were responsible for something like a long barrel, with people's lengths too! If you think you've made a loud noise, it looks like a bunch of soldiers who were pointing ahead of the barrel have fallen... and are releasing an invisible arrow!

Played by the voice of Claudia, who was so excited not to resemble the battlefield, the liaison soldier on the Sil warhorse replied as if it had been played. Again, what Denzel has brought out anew is like a gun to my knowledge.

"How are the troops equipped with that weapon?

"It's just about thirty lightweight infantry regiments. When the invisible arrows are released in unison, they are turned back inside a formation of heavily armed horseman cavalry formations. This horse rider looks troublesome and is used to treating us like horses (...)"

Is it a horseback riding people? It is the land of the former Kingdom of Altras, and the plains swallowed by the enlarged Duchy of Denzel say countless horseback riding nations once lived there. I'm guessing some of them went down to Denzel.

"Perhaps you can't shoot like a conventional bow. It takes time and effort to inherit the new arrow from its cylinder. So I purposefully pull inside the formation. … the next time you stand on the table, aim for that unintentional strike"

"Do you have any thoughts on how to launch the attack, Master Eliza"

"... a long cylinder is probably vulnerable to attack from the side. I think the horseman is an escort for the new weapon. It is not surprising that we do not want to lose the weapons just developed by the Denzel side. How about forming a line in a lightweight horseback cavalry and joining the central army as it is by ripping off the troops of the long barrel arrows that came out in the front row?

The members of the Light Horse Rider Corps are now mostly Sil warriors. If it is an attack using horseback riding, they have the strength to be named the pinnacle of this Arxian army. … I am so sure.

"Hmm. Sounds like the effect of the agitation is likely to be sufficient. Lord Claudia will lead the rest of the squad with Gunter to pull out the thin layer of the rear-right White Soldier War."

"Oscar, you're in that squad too. Depending on the circumstances, I'll leave the change of operation to you. I'm going with Theo to the Lightweight Horse Riders."

"It's... dangerous. I'll be the lightweight horse rider."

Looking down at Oscar, who tried to shake his neck sideways, I pounded the neck of a giant werewolf dragon across. Proudly raised his nose tip, Raswiwok slightly opens his single-wing feathers without sound to let the breeze blow.

"What do you know about my partner? A wolf dragon can run three times faster than a horse if you have to. Besides, the arrows are doomed. We're sure to reduce the number of casualties."

There was no objection. I saw a line of heavily armed cavalry crack across the dirt and dust. Several soldiers run between the lines at once.

"Then let's go! Come back alive whenever you can!
