Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Five more arrows flew in. The duc closed his eyes whenever the arrow flew, but not a single one hurt the duc's body.

“Don't move from there. ”

The voice of a woman digging into her ears. The startled Duke Goron shifts his head and casts his gaze toward the sound. I see a woman looking this way with a black bow. And the slaughter scene behind her.

“Aah!”

“Rrrrgh!”

The screams of the soldiers thump the duc's ears. However, there was only one thing the duc, who had already had his limbs in the ground, could do. I just closed my eyes to avoid watching the soldiers die.

“Help me!”

Finally, echo no longer hears the end of the horse's scream.

Nearly 15,000 soldiers were killed by over 200 knights.

It was an impossible outcome when only counting each other's numbers, but if you look closely into it, you will have no choice.

The biggest reason was the training.

While the Knights of Lycaen have been training to cross the line, most of the Goron Duke's forces have remained as ordinary as possible, hiding their identities. Then they rushed to the summons of the Duke of Goron. They have been soldiers for over a year with weapons in their hands.

In terms of training, it was like a fight between an adult and a child.

And it was a matter of mental strength.

Suddenly, the Knights who jumped off the cliff did not lack the ability to drive the Goron Duke's soldiers into a state of mental panic, thinking they could do battle as if they were in a safe cliff. Fear consumed the minds of the soldiers after the chaos.

Scared of the best knights, he is as good as dead.

“Earl Procus, you…! ”

Duke Goron cries out in a crying voice. Suddenly, an urgent footstep slaps the duc in the ear.

“Father!"

I look back at his eyes, startled, and he rushes towards me. Probably hiding in the bodies of the dead soldiers and watching the situation.

Duke Goron, who saw his son, cried out in a voice that no longer existed.

“Don't come! Run away!”

But he didn't listen to his father. And then a eerie wind blows towards the running grain.

Phew!

An arrow pierces Grain's throat, revealing the arrowhead with his back head.

The torso trembles violently due to the strength of the embedded arrow, then the knee trembles and loses its strength and collapses.

“G, grain! ”

I didn't have time to close my eyes. Grain's death was clearly marked deep in Duke Goron's mind.

“Procus!”

Duke Goron vomits evil in his bloodshed. And the calm, regular sound that comes between the screams.

Buck up, buck up!

The sound of footsteps approaching you, stepping on blood on the floor. Turning back, Lycaen is slowly approaching this direction.

“You! I'll curse you to death! Your bloodline will mean the birth of a man of great grandchildren and a woman of whores! ”

Lycaen smiles coldly at the sound of his mouth. And I said it nicely.

“I was wrong about that. ”

“What?! ”

“I thought it wasn't rubbish at all.... This is not a piece of junk. ”

“Yes, how dare you say that to me! ”

“If not, what? What about those soldiers who died because of you? ”

“You're the one who killed them! ”

“Fuck you.”

Lycaen turns away from the need to mix horses. Then he turned to the knights on one side.

“Looks like Bermurk's up to something else. The entire mountain was turned into a battlefield. First, we support Caith. ”

The Knights rush down the cliff on Lycaen's orders. It is not much different from when it goes up and down. Crosses the cliff to the left and right, killing the speed and descending safely.

After all the knights went down, only Lycaen and Yulia, who were unraveling, remained on the cliff. They also walked down the cliff.

“Kill me too! ”

Duke Goron exclaims with his body motionless. But it was Lycaen's cold voice that returned.

“Die slowly, reminiscing about what you did. ”

“You brute! ”

Duke Goron calls out in a desperate voice, but Lycaen is no longer on the cliff.

“You seem a little ruthless today. ”

Yulia came down to the ground with Lycaen.

“When have I ever shown mercy to an enemy? ”

“But you killed it neatly. You never let it die in that kind of pain. ”

“I know someone who made a completely different choice than that piece of garbage. ”

Lycaen said that, unlike usual, was quite emotional.

You nod as if Yulia knew it. It was because he knew who Liquenne said, "He made the other choice." It was the Duke of Robyn.

He was responsible for his own life after doing everything he could for his troops, the lords who followed him, and the kings who trusted and commanded him.

I don't know if it's the right answer or not, but I did the best I could.

With the Duke of Robyn in mind, the Duke of Goron was unforgivable. I didn't have to answer any crazy questions about whether I deserved to punish someone. If you can do it.

“What's Vermouth thinking, by the way? ”

Riccianne quickly turns to you, as if she no longer wants to think about Duke Robyn and Duke Goron.

Above the cliff, the enemy is drawing their forces into the forest.

In each direction, Caith's battlefield is in the northern ridge, and Tehaz and Fabentus' mainstay is in the forest to the south, and Creontes' mainstay is in the valley to the northeast, and Earl Foldenbine's mainstay is in the forest to the east.

I also noticed that each unit was divided into two or three units.

“I don't know what you're up to, but I'll help you with the battalion first. ”

Kaith's battalion was the elite force of this alliance. It was only after they were freed that the two of them had worked hard for a year that they were able to help others.

“Follow me!”

Lycaen shouts aloud as she flies toward the battlements.

Chapter 9. Vermouth's Conspiracy (1)

Forests form trees, grass, and rocks. Most of them are trees. Some are so large that it's hard to hold hands even when three adults are surrounded, and some have stumbled so heavily that their feet are crooked. But big or small, the trees had something in common that interfered with people's movements.

The battle in such forests was, of course, premarital.

Arrows caught in the trunk of a tree are useless. No matter how small you swing, you end up getting caught by a tree, and even a sailor who rides like a spear is useless. It was possible to swing freely in a line that did not get caught by a tree, even if it was a long sword or a short hand and foot.

Therefore, in order to maintain a short distance, we have to face each other, and since it is impossible to move in a straight line, if we scatter it well, it becomes difficult.

However, Earl Poldevain did not lead the battle in the forest into chaos.

Glug, glug, glug!

Noise echoes from everywhere.

Kuaang!

And the dark dust that rises with the noise.

However, once the wind blows, or when the dust settles, it becomes clear to me. It was because the trees that were blocking the way forward fell through.

It was a plot by Earl Poldenbine.

In the first place, there were a lot of Byron Clemens in the third place, and they were organized that way because they were backing up against the first or second place that had to be busy.

And Earl Poldenbine is moving the Clemenfolk and pushing the forest away.

Most of the Byrons who did not join Circus helped Tehaz, and all of them were able to use liquor in this war.

When the leading Clemenfolk knock down a row of trees and fall back, the Clemenfolk in the next row step forward, and then the next line.

The screams of the enemies blend in between the cracking of the trees. The screams of the fallen enemies in the trees.

A one-stone tactic that keeps enemies from attacking easily while creating a path.

Given that Earl Poldenbine had just researched combat and tactics, his tactical sense was very good.

Kuang!

You hear another tree collapse. This time, I didn't hear the screams that the enemies had fallen back.

Earl Poldenbine steals the sweat from his forehead as the front row of the dead falls back and the next row of dead men come forward.

"This is hard!"

It was a very slow advance. It is quite stable, but as it is slow, anxiety is inevitable. If the enemies retreated at this rate, it would be like they were wasting their strength.

Nevertheless, Earl Poldenbine has been pushing his patience as far as he can. It was because of the results of his hasty movements, and it was clearly shown in many of the tactical books he had seen.

It was then.
