Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

However, the situation was so unfolding that the 1st Company was left without food. Nevertheless, I cannot withstand Satan's army of 10,000 such things as hunting or wild fruits in these deep mountains. After all, the choice was to go after the confronting Luo Kingdom troops and plunder their food.

Their situation was desperate enough to be thankful for the fact that they were able to meet the Royal Force in Luo.

Thanks to this, the two legions of the Luo Kingdom that have fought so far were the size of devils. Like the rest of the royal army, the Confederate forces were able to defeat and obtain food without much damage as they were elite troops in preparing for war.

But it was always a question, not a fundamental solution. The most urgent thing is finding a way. But even then, it wasn't easy.

I interrogated the prisoners of the Luo Kingdom to find out their current location or get a map, but if I went after Earl Frost, I would lose my current position again. Even if you have a map, you don't know exactly where you are.

The only way was to turn north and return to the acidity, but I think I'll miss the Earl of Marcus forever. Because of the nature of Earl Holtz, it was never possible, and in the end, the 1st Company had only to repeat the vicious cycle.

And now the painter was spreading it to the Knight Leader.

“Does it make sense that the Knight Leader doesn't even know the terrain?! ”

“I'm sorry."

Bard Poneltz quickly bows his head as he speaks in a crawling voice. However, the wrath of Earl Holtz did not subside easily.

“So are you! Those who call themselves commanders, the Deputy doesn't know the terrain well enough to make the troops lose their way! Idiots! ”

From Earl Crion, leader of the 1st Division, to the ranks of the regimental commander or commander below, he lowers his head in a row. But it couldn't have been quite unfair to them.

Acronia was the largest mountain range on the continent. It made no sense for them to memorize all the maps of such places and fully understand the geography of each place. In fact, you can't even remember the Count of Holtz.

Of course, there was not a single man brave enough to stand up to that story.

“Release the rookies now and find them! ”

Earl Holtz is still chattering and yelling. It was then.

Swoowoowook!

“Suck!”

Earl Holtz, surprised by the sudden ripples, twists his torso reflexively. At the same time, an arrow tears through the Marquis's cheek.

“Hostiles!”

“Battle stations! Battle stations!”

The arrow flies relentlessly through the cracks of a scream.

It was a sudden attack on a dark night. However, Satan the First responded quickly. The Confederate army, which has been sharpened like a well-sharpened sword for the battle with the Royal Ruo Army for the past few days, is prepared for battle without any embarrassment.

While the infantry carries a shield around the Marquis of Holtz, the archers bounce off the protests relentlessly toward the direction the arrows fly. At the same time, the knights surrounded their whole body with armor rush towards the direction where the arrows fly, and the infantry comes forward with a long body movement.

The Acronian Mountains were not a land for horse rides, and the Confederate troops who had to fight there thought of it and were operating a medical clinic. That's why the knights showed the best maneuvers without riding, and the soldiers were able to perform quick movements even in the mountainous areas where they were struggling.

I wonder how far the Knights have gone.

“Waaaah-ah! ”

Suddenly, a group of troops pours out from the jungle with a shout. The heavily armed knights at the front and the soldiers following them.

“Mmmm!”

Earl Holtz grunts and asks. It was a more systematic and elite force than the Luo Kingdom troops have dealt with so far. The scale was not great. The number of enemies spilling out of the surrounding forest is roughly one of Satan's troops.

Of course, it wasn't the Marquis of Ghi Holtz. When the Kingdom of Bren went to war with the Kingdom of Delos, the troops that had been refined for a long time had to differ greatly from the troops that had been hurrying for seven years.

Boom!

The source of the heavy ringing iron was the knocking of the buckler held by Knights of the First Confederate Army.

The Southern Army has long been preparing for a battle against the mountains of Acronia. What the Knights chose in the process was the use of Armingsod and Buckler.

Armored knights rarely use them in combat, but they are more versatile than Longsword in mountainous areas. Armingsod also shortened the length of the blade relatively, instead steering towards maximizing the utilization of the buckler.

A buckler that was made thicker than usual was the basic slash after advancing against all attacks and then attacking with a short range of armingswords.

Even swinging a sword was quite different from a normal sword. It was a sword that changed to swing at the best speed within the narrowest possible width, rather than swinging at it to maximize its power.

And that preparation was working well enough.

Tong, Tong!

The appearance of the knights charging with all their bodies, ignoring the loud noise of banging on armor and shields, is already overwhelming.

A rash of aggression and a burst of waves. Though they were close to the fighting style of the Homo sapiens, their egg blindness was everywhere.

Boom, boom, boom!

“Rrrrgh!”

The user cuts off the armor of its opposing knights in one fell swoop of blood. Then the screams burst out sequentially.

“Charge! Charge! ”

An infantry attack is what drives the knights after an assault.

If the Knights go in first and make a hole in the opposing camp, the foot soldiers dig into it.

It's a tactic without a simple mate, but as simple as that, its destructive power is at its peak.

The valley where the two armies settled suddenly turned into Abigail. Blood rushes down the slopes, and the bones between them are already piling up.

“Sa, help me! ”

“Ahhhh!”

“D, run! ”

The deep mountains of darkness echo with endless screams.

The battle between Bren Kingdom 10,000 and Ruo Kingdom 10,000 took place very quickly. No, it was an unspeakable sight of combat. It was a one-sided massacre.

The dramatic difference between those who have been preparing for a long time and those who have been idly idle.

It's only been two hours since the screams that echoed without rest were suddenly gone. An enormous number of Luo Kingdom troop corpses are filling the valley.

Only 2,000 survived the retreat of the Luo Empire, and the damage of the Bren Empire army, combined with the deaths and injuries, was only 1,000.

It was a great victory for history.

However, the expression on Earl Holtz's face was not very bright.

‘Not good. ’

The army of the Luo Kingdom troops we have met so far is no larger than one large one. Suddenly, I encountered a group of enemies.

It was a rebuttal that they had gone so far as to be enemies.

Damn it!

Earl Holtz senses his mistake just then. I ran after Earl Frost and found him near the enemy encampment. However, it was not easy to back out like this.

It was because the mountain ranges in Acronia were not pleasant enough to get where they wanted to go just because they were aimlessly moving.

Luckily, even if I was in the right direction, I couldn't go anyway. It was because there was absolutely no food.

Then there is only one option for Earl Holtz now. It was a matter of catching Earl Frost as soon as possible.

From what we've seen so far, Earl Frost has not only secured enough food, but is on the move, knowing the right path. After you chase them, you get closer to the enemy's camp. This meant that Anton, who was leading Earl Frost's forces, thought Lycaen had been captured by the enemy and was heading that way.

“Hurry up and find their trail! ”

If we get this close to the enemy camp, we don't know when Earl Frost will attack the Ruo Imperial Army garrison. And if they enter the Luo Kingdom camp with only 1,000 troops, then they were already dead.

Then there was no other way for Earl Holtz to do it. So we had to catch them first.

“Hurry!”

“Commander, it sounds like a fight! ”

Bard Poneltz hurriedly looks back.

“What?"

The startled Marquis of Holtz listens in the direction that Count Poneltz pointed.

Screams, screams, and sharp iron echoes faintly into your ears.

“Damn it! ”

Earl Holtz exclaims nervously.

It has been three days since I began pursuing the trail of Earl Frost after I fought with Satan, one of the Kingdoms of Luo. It was fortunate that I had not encountered the Royal Army of Luo, but unfortunately, I had not encountered Earl Procurus.

But now, you hear the sound of battle from the front, following in the footsteps of Earl Frost.
