Kuro no Senki (LN)

"Hit them, kill them! Uh-huh!"

"Uh-oh!"

The cavalry barks simultaneously and rushes towards the enemy's field position.

It makes you feel chronic about jumping over the wire as easily as it does, kicking it open.

But my heart was smashed to pieces.

"Wow!

"Gah!"

"Damn, don't stop here!

The cavalry shouts.

Some persisted desperately that they were thrown out of the horse on which the rod stood, and some shoved into the wire for each horse and shook it off.

Also, some were cursing horses that stopped in front of the wire.

"Get on the horse now!

"Well, that's the wire entangled in my body."

The lieutenant screams, but the cavalry falling on the wire scratches like an insect hooked to a spider's nest or a fish hooked to a net, but can't get out.

When I saw it, the wire was tangled in my clothes.

Fumi Lucas remembered a book he used to read.

We're talking about an undeveloped tribe planting a tsu around the position to impede the cavalry's progression.

I should have handled it by cutting it off or burning it down in that story -.

"Damn it! Whoever's down, cut the wire!

"Ha!"

As ordered by his deputy, the man who was lowering his horse waved his sword down on the wire.

Gashan, the sound of Gashan sounds.

"I can't cut it!

"Shit! I'll do it!

The deputy shouted and waved the spear down from the horse.

It's not an assault spear equipped by a heavy-duty cavalry, it's a weapon with an integrated axe and spear.

"Fuck, fuck! I can't hang up!

The deputy swings down the spear many times, but the sound of Gashangashan just sounds.

"Magic! Use magic!

"Flame bouncing!

"Wind blade rumbling!

The magic of fire and wind is unleashed, but the wire could not be destroyed.

The flame did not dissolve the iron and the wind blade just rocked the wire.

"Gah!"

A scream echoes.

My men, who were entangled in wire, were engulfed in flames.

"So, somebody put out the fire!

The deputy screams, but no one tries to move.

His men, who were engulfed in flames, were only violently rampaged at first, but the movement slowly dulled and after a while stopped moving.

Smoke rises from the body.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Did you smell the smell, or those who were nearby vomited, and those who vomited continued as if it had been cut off.

They're supposed to smell the same smell when they light the village, but they get a different impression of that from their buddies.

"Shit, it's your fault!

"You told me to use magic!

The lieutenants began to break with each other.

"... Phew"

Lucas exhaled deeply and realized there was.

The rebels aren't attacking us when we're looking so different.

"Philip!"

"Ha!"

Philip just walked over and saluted Lucas.

The salute itself is beautiful, but its face is tense and tense.

Daimyo, you think they're going to order you to stop the fight.

"Get me an elf."

"Is she a woman?

"I don't care either way!

"Ha!"

When Lucas yelled, Philip ran out.

After a while Philip brought in an elf woman.

Elves have many beautiful men and women, but she was also beautiful again.

Most importantly, Lucas likes a big woman with a big chest, so he couldn't move his forefinger right now.

"Good luck, back off"

"Ha!"

Philip saluted, distancing himself from Lucas.

"Oh, what do I do with that?

"Look at enemy positions, the faces of those hiding in holes."

"Yes."

The elf woman went out before Lucas and knelt on the spot.

"What do you say?

"What do you mean?

"What look are you giving me?

Lucas suppressed his frustration and asked the elf woman.

"Um, I'm only impressed..."

I don't mind.

"You look frightened"

"... frightened?

"Yes, it looks that way"

Lucas asks himself why he's scared.

Join us in front of the enemy.

Normally, it's a chance.

Even recruits should think about attacking if they see enemies full of gaps.

No, and Lucas shook his head.

Recruits can't move into action even if they think they have to attack, let's attack.

Because I fear killing people.

In some cases, there are even those who say that they will not escape their swords if they are killed.

People fear killing others so much.

"... I see"

Lucas shrugged small.

You should have noticed when you saw the number of people in the field position.

The material given to Military Secretary Ralph Libra stated that the soldiers held by the Marquis Elakis would not reach a thousand or four hundred.

Few soldiers in field positions are quoted to be double that.

The rebel subjects were recruits - perhaps tailoring the territory to soldiers in a short period of time.

If I think about it, I can also agree with the fact that it's caged in a trench.

I'm concerned about the trend of large sub-men and archers, but they should push it off in numbers before recruits gain experience in killing people.

When Lucas began to think about concrete steps,

"Ah, ahhh!

A scream echoed.

When I saw the voice, an arrow was piercing my men tangled in wire.

Much shorter than long bow arrows.

"Gahahahahahahaha! Noon is the spear!

A soldier hiding in a trench makes a nasty laugh.

I'm old enough to say I can't support you.

Ten years older than Lucas would be.

"With this crossbow, even an old man like Noon can defeat a cavalry!

The old man happily put up his weapon - a crossbow if his words were to be used.

"What's that?

"... it's a crossbow"

The elf woman said in surprise, and Lucas muttered small.

It is a weapon that was abandoned long ago in the Imperial Army when it was possible to train archers.

I didn't know you'd pull that stuff out.

"Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me to protect my family! Shoot or your loved ones will be ravaged! Did you forget what they did?

"Wow!

An old soldier screams and one soldier releases an arrow.

The arrow pierced the ground without hitting anyone...

"Wow!

"Shoot, shoot, shoot!

"Heh heh!

Soldiers hiding in trenches as it had been cut off - the crossbowmen went semi-frequent and released arrows.

"Gah!"

"Ggah!"

Many of the arrows unleashed by the crossbowmen came off, but their unlucky men were pierced and made a short scream.

Many were shot through horses and thrown to the ground.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The scream went up.

A horse ran out with his leg hooked.

"Ya, help me!

"You do it!

"I'm your deputy!

"Ugh! Didn't you just use your snack to get in!

They don't come up with the idea of working together over this period.

"Keep your eyes on the arrows! '(Buba ~!)

It was Minotaur who was in the central rear that broke the silence.

"Keep your eyes on the arrow! '(Bubba ~!

Once again, when Minotaur commanded, the Crossbowmen began to move to bring.

Crossbow - The crossbow takes time to watch the next arrow.

But only this time, that's not the problem.

"Ya, help me!

"Get off me!"

Lucas' men are panicking and unable to resist organisationally.

If I had been more sophisticated, I would have rebuilt it.

"Fuck! It's magic! Shoot in the magic!

"Flame bouncing!

"Wind blade rumbling!

The deputy screams and the magic releases toward the enemy position.

The crossbowmen made their bodies stretch, but as it turned out, it was pointless vigilance.

Because the magic didn't even reach the enemy position.

"Shoot me! '(Buzz!

In accordance with Minotaur's decree, the crossbowmen unleashed arrows.

"Ggah!"

"Hih-no!

A short scream rises intermittently and his men fall.

"Wow! Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

The deputy went down and screamed.

Make sure you crawl on the ground and escape the horse that storms.

"Keep your eyes on the arrow! '(Buzz!

Minotaur screams and the crossbowman stares at the arrow.

"Shoot me! '(Buzz!

"Gu Hi!

"Gah!"

A crossbowman fires an arrow and a penetrated subordinate falls screaming.

He watched the arrows, and the motion to release them became smooth, and the timing was beginning to be right.

Chip, Lucas pounded his tongue.

Whether you've stopped thinking, killed people and stopped hesitating, Crossbowmen are growing up as soldiers in a short time.

"Can't you retreat!

Lucas yelled at his deputy.

The cavalry with a hundred rides is less than half.

"Run!

When the deputy shouted, his men threw out their weapons and began to flee.

"Keep your eyes on the arrows! Shoot! '(Bubba! Buzz!

Crossbowmen release arrows, but most of them pierce the ground.

Sometimes the skill is scarce, but the crossbow has a short range.

Archers! Let go! After the second shot, it's good at your own time! '(Bubba, Bubba ~!

Minotaur screamed and the archer, who was holding back behind the crossbowman, unleashed an arrow.

The undisturbed motion gives a glimpse of the high level of proficiency.

"Gah!"

"Ghit!"

"Ggah!"

Arrows pour like rain, and his men fall one after the other.

"... you mean that"

Lucas squeals small.

The rebels didn't let the archers attack to gain experience.

The deputy was desperately on the run.

The discomfort we were showing before the assault has no shadow to see.

Run with tears and sniffles in your face.

It wouldn't be a mistake to see your uniform groin wet.

"- Huh!"

The lieutenant leans back.

It is not a spontaneous movement, but a feeling inspired from the outside and reflexed.

Fall as-is.

There was an arrow piercing its back.

"Ya, help me!

The deputy shouted, but no one tried to help.

Grab the pants of those who tried to run right through the neighborhood.

"Help me!

"Ha, let go!

"I'm your deputy!

"Shut up! Does it matter in this situation!

"Ki, you!

A deputy who was kicked in the foot grabbed him and an arrow poured down there.

Countless arrows pierce both of us.

"Yes, it hurts!

The deputy was safe, but the other fell on his back.

"Oh, I'm not dying!

The deputy used his arm and crawled on the ground.

It leaves a mark on the ground like a Namekuji crawled.

An arrow poured down there.

"... oh, I am"

The deputy stretched out his arm and did his best there.

"... annihilated"

Lucas looked over to the battlefield and muttered.

The hundred ridden cavalry are wiped out and exposed to wreckage.

Stare at the men who refrain behind you.

I guess we should elect a new deputy from among them, but whoever we choose will not be less burdensome on us.

Then you should direct yourself.

"Get ready for camp! Whoever hears my orders, repeat it!

"Get ready for camp!

One of my men screams, and another screams.

The order to prepare the camp spreads like a ripple.

Okay, how do we attack? and Lucas lowered his back to the fallen tree.

What comes to mind is the way to let a heavily armed infantry hold a shield and approach it while protecting the archers.

Fortunately, this one outnumbers the heavy infantry and archers.

"... maybe we shouldn't have pulled through the heavy-duty infantry."

pulled out three hundred heavily armed infantry to braid the heavy squadron.

I thought I needed it then, but I get the feeling I made the wrong choice.

Lucas turned his gaze to the general soldier.

Heavy-duty infantry - are there as many large subhumans as Lizardmans?

They have the weakness of being vulnerable to the winter cold, but warming up their bodies with incendiary fire would make them somewhat impotent.

With that in mind, white smoke rose from the rear.

"What's wrong?

"Firewood is humid!

When Lucas stood up and screamed, someone screamed back.

"... what, you know what?"

I sat down on the fallen tree and remembered that it had not rained in the past few days.

No way, is this a rebel operation, too?

What does it mean to dampen firewood?

"Legion Leader!

"What!

My men screamed, and Lucas stood up.

I was frustrated that I was forced to interrupt my thoughts, but I had no choice.

"It's fog! The fog is coming out!

When I looked down the street, the fog slowly flowed from the woods.

"Of, it's a curse!

"Calm down! This is a rebel operation!

There was no certainty, but I assure you.

Hundreds of people, including deputy officers, died in the battle of honor without fear of the unknown, but basically humans fear unknown beings and phenomena.

Now the unknown fear has turned into a rebel operation, but if you can't deal with it, you're being flirted with by the rebels.

The fog gets in...

"Hoo-hoo!"

"Hiiiiiiiiiii!"

"... Heavy Squad was wiped out. No food will arrive '

Similar sounds and low voices echoed from the mist to the woman's screams.

"Ohhhhh!

"Muhhhh!

"The Kingsguard Knights are about to abandon the common soldiers."

"Make it stop!

"I don't know where it's coming from!

"Kuh!

When Lucas groaned, the fog stained red and the explosion sounded.

The horse sounded and screamed.

I got caught up in the same hand again.

"Leave the horse that escaped!

Lucas gave instructions out loud and held his chest down.

It hurt like my chest was pounding.

"Whoa, whoa!

"Mmm-hmm!

"You will die, all of you. If you don't want to die, run."

Chrono wrapped the communication magic item in a cloth and put it in the pouch.

"No, no, no, no, no!

"Ha ha!

'Cause it's good enough.'

Chrono said, Aridead and Deneb coughed lightly.

"It's too clear, it's like my throat hurts"

"Like this makes sense?

"I thought I'd do everything I could"

It would be nice if you could freak out a little.

"Xia Dance!

"Disease dance!

Elves standing in front of the Chronos use magic.

Xia Dance is a magic that generates thick fog, and disease dance is a magic that generates lateral gusts.

A thick fog flows down the street by a lateral gust.

Release an arrow with a magic item instead of an additional one.

The sound of explosions and horses, the sound of horseshoes and screams echo.

"Well, it's like our synthetic magic is helping."

"You said you developed it, but you and I are just using magic together."

Aridead says satisfactorily, and Deneb waters.

"It's like that's where all the ordinary people are. Using separate sorcery between the two creates a new effect. It's easy, but it's like people who don't notice don't realize it for the rest of their lives"

"I'm sure the deadbeat will develop a magic ceremony with the same effect. I don't know what to say, my current sister will overlap indefinitely when she was on track mastering additions and deductions..."

"It's like it's not a good idea to talk vegan to push my sister!

"'Cause I don't want Master Chrono to think I'm stupid."

Deneb turned away from Aridead and pointed his lips as if he were obstinate.

"My sisters bond is like a pinch because of Master Chrono!

"Such a bad listener"

It's a terrible saying that we both love each other equally.

"It's time for me to have my own happiness."

"It's like we can't do it with a pin!

"That's not true!

Despite this situation, Aridead and Deneb started working together.

Kus, and the archer in front laughs.

Better than being weirdly nervous, Krono removed a communication magic item from the pouch.

"This is Chrono. This is Chrono. Please respond."

"Hey, this is Minot. Admiral, what can I do for you? '(Bubba?

I hear a deputy from a communications magic item.

Regular communications magic items do not allow you to communicate with deputies in field positions.

"It's a rush, but it looks like super long distance communication magic items are working."

"Did you bother to contact me for that? '(Bubba?

"No way, we're checking the situation."

Chrono smiled bitterly.

A new super long range magic item has been installed to allow us to communicate with field positions.

The relay between the territory of the Count of Cado and the territory of the Marquis of Elakis is placed in a steel container, but the container of the newly installed relay is concrete.

The way it's made is simple, just creep through the round-tails, make a mold, and pour in the concrete.

I thought I could be suspicious if the concrete columns were lined up at equal intervals, but fortunately, the Imperial Army overlooked me.

"We're running Operation Insomnia and Operation Fog. What about you?"

"I'm switching between early and late shifts."

"How are the prostitutes?

"I'm pretty excited for you" (Bubba)

"... right"

Chrono sighed in a small way, wondering if it was impossible.

Even though the Imperial Army didn't put its back on it and had the support of regular soldiers, it wiped out the cavalry without causing any damage.

"I can't help but get a little high..."

'I'll make you understand. Tighten up where you can. Don't worry. Well, there are grandfathers, so you can't worry about them that much.' (Bu, bu)

"It really helps."

The deputy said in a mild tone, and Chrono exhaled in a ho.

When the old knights came in large numbers, they were worried that they would be serving funerals before they fought the Imperial Army, but they are successfully wrapping up prostitutes.

"How much longer do we have to keep it?"

"You can't lose your mind yet, bitch."

"Right."

He showed great work, but the prostitutes are still chicks.

I have a fear that I don't know where the limit is.

Chrono's worries are nothing but worries, and he may remain until he defeats the Imperial Army, but he can't be that optimistic.

"If I have to, I want you to appear in a secret weapon."

"Does it work?"

"Don't say that."

"Sukiyasu" (Buku)

The deputy honestly apologized.

I do not believe that I can be optimistic about the prostitutes, but I do not want to imagine that the secret weapons that appeared full of them would be of no use.

"Mr. Minot never reports this way?

"Ariyasu" (Buku)

"Okay, communication's over. It's okay, you're gonna win."

Of course.

Chrono put a comm magic item on his porch.

"Master Chrono, what's next?

"Finally, like a night raid?

"No, they're still fine, and I want to pattern them and keep them alert. So..."

"Finally, like a knife's turn?

"I'm ready for some blasphemous words."

Aridead takes the knife, Deneb takes out the notebook.

"Well, that's the thing"

"The enemy seems to be feeling better and a little worried."

"But it's like the enemy was too flirtatious to do only a hundred rides earlier"

"That's right."

Chrono sighed small.

The enemy cavalry escaped in total collapse.

I wondered if he would move to rescue those who had been shot with arrows and were unable to move, and the enemy commander - Lucas Lesato - abandoned him.

I may have thought it wouldn't matter if you didn't have any men to destroy the village, but I want you to pretend like you're going to help me.

"Contact Aridead, Taiga"

"Ho, it's like I'm here"

Aridead removed a communication magic item from the pouch.

"This is like Aridead. Tyga, it's like I need you to respond."

"It's Tiga" (is)

"I'm going to humiliate the body, so it's like I want you to intensify the attack so I don't get distracted."

"Copy that."

Flashes and explosions increase intensity.

"All right, once the harassment is over. I'm gonna go get the body."

Chrono hung his glasses and started walking at his mid waist.

Lucas woke up with a groaning chest pain.

The exhalation is white and the fingertips are dandruff.

Despite this, my whole body is sticking with sweat.

I couldn't sleep satisfactorily last night either.

The rebels have thrown magic items into the camp positions in an extended manner until about dawn.

Woven with killer magic items by way of example.

Bad luck burned the tent that kept the food.

It wasn't the worst because of the dispersion, but the rest of the food is for two days.

Even more angrily, I drooled down to the screaming and strange information of a woman.

"... guh"

Lucas woke his body out of bed and glanced at the pain in his back.

I used to hurt my back.

I hurt myself trying to lift my luggage in my mansion, not on the battlefield.

I just thought it had healed, but apparently it wasn't.

"... you wouldn't have to hit me back at a time like this"

Lucas weaved his jacket and reached out to the tent to get outside.

I can pull my hand in unintentionally.

Because the tent was frozen.

"No way, did you expect this far to generate fog?

"Legion Leader!

"What!

Philip's voice sounded and Lucas popped out of the tent.

Then Philip stood a little further from the tent.

Beneath its feet was the body of a deputy officer rolling.

Plus, he's naked.

"What are you doing!

Lucas rushed over to endure the pain in his back and glanced at him.

The deputy's body is frosted and several fingers are missing.

But that's not the problem.

The problem is that the letters are engraved on the deputy's body.

It's not just letters.

Words that insult the dead are insistently engraved.

Sure, the deputy wasn't a praised man, but it's not necessary to humiliate the body so far.

"What happened to your finger?

"I broke it on my way in"

"On the way to bring it?

Realizing what that meant, Lucas rushed out to the battlefield.

Every time I move, the pain crawls up from my back, but I run without worries.

"... what are you talking about"

Lucas stopped and looked up.

Ten bodies were exposed to the boundary between the streets and the battlefield.

No, should I say it was decorated?

stripped of their clothes and engraved throughout their bodies with letters blaspheming the dead.

It's madness to feel it from there.

What kind of life can I live with to kill a corpse?

"Legion leader, they're crazy."

"- Huh!"

Philip's voice echoed from behind, and Lucas noticed the rebels' aim.

The aim of the rebels is to make them think they are insane.

We're wearing a madness mask and trying to make ourselves look more than real.

"This is their operation!

Lucas looked back and shouted to his men, who had gathered at some point.

"You are Kingsguard knights! Don't be cowardly!

"... but when a body like this reaches my parents"

Lucas bit his lips in the voice he heard from somewhere.

What do you do worried about what happens after you die?

Why did you do that so much as worry about honor?

That makes me want to throw it away, but it would be a real concern if I tried it on them.

"Don't be cowardly! If you cower here, it's what the rebels think it is! They're trying to gain a spiritual advantage by creating madness!

……

Lucas was inspired, but his men reacted dull.

"Philip!"

"Ha!"

"Attack the field position! Collect heavy infantry and archers and infantry!

"Ha!"

Philip rushed out to the rear.

"What do you want to clean up the body that's boggling!

……

When Lucas yelled, his men moved on with it.

Move the body and cover it with cloth.

That's when Philip came back.

"Legion Leader!

"What?

"The heavily armed infantry..."

"Say it quickly."

Philip said, and Lucas urged ahead in a harsh manner.

"Ha, half the heavily armed infantry is falling into inaction"

"What?

"Lizardman is hit by the cold and can't move!

Kuh, Lucas groaned.

"I don't care who can move! Get them in line! Heavy infantry is front row with shields, archers are behind it! Infantry is a backpack! Prepare for enemy ambush!

"Ha!"

Philip headed backwards again.

Lucas lowers his back to the fallen tree and waits for the formation to finish.

Slow.

Too late.

It was when thirty minutes had passed that the line had taken shape in a bend.

More than three hundred heavily armed infantry lined up in the front row and stood behind it as a thousand archers stood up against each other.

Two thousand less infantry wait at a slight distance.

Lucas stood up and pulled out his sword.

"Forward as you hide yourself in your shield! Attack is in front of a wire obstacle!

There are only about a hundred archers with a long range.

This should push you through in numbers.

"Forward!

Heavy infantry proceeded slowly and archers followed.

Lucas was frustrated by the speed.

I do not believe that Ralph Libra's operation is incorrect.

Supply and overwhelm in numbers in the territory through which it passes.

But this operation cannot be described as effective unless the rebels are ready.

If that premise breaks down, it will be a feather to fight in an under-reached group.

Lucas set his sights on the field position.

There Minotaur was in command.

Archers, stand up! Let go! '(Bubba! Bubba ~!)

Following Minotaur's orders, the archers release arrows simultaneously.

If it's a regular bow, it shouldn't arrive, but Lucas threw that assumption away.

"Set up a shield!

A heavily armed infantry sets up a shield, and an archer hides himself behind it.

An arrow pours down and pierces the shield.

But that's all.

"Keep your shields up and move forward!

As Lucas ordered, the heavily armed infantry slowly and slowly begins to advance.

Even slower than earlier.

Exactly like a tortoise.

But...

"... I can"

Lucas found a winning chance and hoisted the corner of his mouth.

Rebel bows have excellent performance, but the number of archers is small.

This can be won by a difference in numbers.

That's when something moved in the corner of my vision.

Reflectively looking at the forest, a man with a spear popped up.

Hundreds, no, maybe more.

Put up a spear, but there's too much distance to throw.

Archers are good.

But archers cannot attack because they hide behind heavily armed infantry.

Red light colours their bodies.

Engraving - a spell for assimilation with the Spirit.

"Infantry! Assault!

Lucas screams, but the infantry's response is dull.

"Assault!

Screaming again, the infantry finally moved out.

At that time, the engraver was throwing spears.

It looks as if the sky has been slashed and torn apart as many spears fly in a row.

"Hey, come on - get down!

Lucas screamed his throat all ripped.
