Lesson 349 The Northern Fall 4
October 6, 7451
Junkel's army was quick to make a decision.
The teaks that protect Curry say, "Huh? You haven't attacked me yet, have you? By the time I thought about it, most of the forces that were in the rear, mainly the Red Soldiers, had retreated after one-third of the entire army had withdrawn.
"Platoon Leader, it seems that the Junkel army is decreasing in size..."
Tiek slowly nodded as he stared at the enemy position in response to the message from his subordinates.
"That's what I look like." At first, I thought it was a little of an optical illusion, but if you say so, it's still very likely that you've transferred the troops behind you somewhere... "
"I have already released my sight." I haven't come back yet, so I don't know the details, but if I moved around the arable land to the north and south, it wouldn't be strange to come back long ago... "
If so, where is the Junkel army in front of you?
Indeed, Tiek and the others did considerable damage to Junkel's forces.
Although it was roughly attacked with a number of about 1,300, at the moment, even if it is slightly less estimated, 300 are disabled.
If you've killed and seriously injured so many people, it's not strange to retreat, regroup, or rest in a mere field that doesn't have a base on either side.
However, this battle was an offensive and defensive battle against the city of Curry.
How well Tiek and the others stood around, not far away - at most three or four days later, the defenders of the city will be reduced to breakthroughs.
Of course, in the meantime, the Junkel army will be damaged, but in the three defensive battles that have been conducted since this morning, we have already killed about three of our soldiers while we were taking out two enemy soldiers.
The difference will open up considerably each time a battle is fought.
It's been four days since Junkel's army came to Curry.
I managed to get it here because I had a lot of heads in the first place.
Of course, it was certain that it was a gift from the first Knights of Tiek and other Knights of the Order of the Lord. However, there was a limit to the difference in the strength of the soldiers.
As a teak to protect Curry, I only hoped that the Duke of Bertels' Knights of the Village would come as reinforcements before they reached their limit.
As early as tomorrow, according to his calculations. It is expected that the first group of reinforcements and about 50 to 60 Knights Guard troops will arrive at the latest the day after tomorrow, and it is expected that about 100 reinforcements will arrive the next day or the next day.
The majority of the current defense forces consist of more than half slaves who have never even had a weapon.
Therefore, even if you can't defeat them at once if the reinforcements with strength come in this many, you will bleed out by gradually reducing the opponent's strength. If they even arrive, you will at least hope to retreat to Honkulu Village.
Even so, I didn't think I could afford to pursue them.
However, the temporal grace that allows us to re-deliver is something that Tiek and the others now desire so much that they can get their hands out of their throats.
"... tell him not to move poorly." I don't want to stimulate you now. "
Staring at the enemy territory, Tiek ordered it.
"Ha. Hey, you heard me. Send a message to all units. Hold your defensive positions until I tell you otherwise!"
Send more to the commanders of the 2nd Knights who were beside them.
Junkel's army, which was beset by Curry, pulled out the formation completely in less than three hours.
Of course, we've been sending out scouts a short distance away to find out where the Junkel forces are going, but we still need a few hours of optimism before we can get any information on their exact destination.
October 7, 7451
Unknown.
The Junkel army arrived in the village of Honkulu in the middle of yesterday night.
Although the junior commanders and soldiers were very angry at the retreat in a situation where they were about to fall into the city, most people stopped complaining when they received information that the occupied village of Jallow had been attacked by a group of monsters the other day.
They explained the possibility that the return journey was cut off, and the possibility that even the village of Aubas, which belongs to the Junkel country to the east of Jallow Village, had already been ravaged by monsters.
For now, there is no need to worry about food supplies, but the danger of isolation in enemy lands was understood by most people because almost all of them were composed of professional soldiers or mercenaries.
"Tomorrow, we are in the vanguard." Please let me rest a lot while I'm here. "
Vasco ordered his lieutenant, Tania, to turn to the building where the captains of the units were gathered.
There are only half the commanders in the building, but if we wait a little longer, we'll all meet.
"Benditz, where are you going tomorrow?"
Looking at Vasco, who had received a cup of wine broken by water, Zaboin, the head of the Orgas, asked.
"I'm going to go all the way through the south side of the cultivated land." We are not very powerful, but if other troops follow us right away, we think there is a possibility that the monsters will be hordes and will not be able to get rid of them. "
Jallow Village has a settlement near the center of the village without leakage from most of the general Austrian villages.
However, there is also a terrain called the bottom of the valley, which is divided north and south across the Beat River that flows east and west through the village.
There were two bridges connecting the North and South settlements, of which the eastern bridge was destroyed during the first ambush on the village of Jallow.
The settlement itself was larger on the north side, and there were many people living there.
The arable land is a little higher than the settlement developed along the river, but it spreads out like a subtle slope or step by step.
Therefore, it is a course that Vasco thinks it would be difficult to be seen because of the distance from the settlement where there would be monsters if they remained by passing along the cliffs that stretch from the north to the south of the valley, and being in the highlands.
In addition, although it is probably an idea that includes hopeful observation, Vasco could not come up with a plan that would make it possible to pass through Jallow Village with more security and supplies and loot secured.
Their red soldiers gained considerable loot when they ambushed the village of Besso.
Throwing it out was a last resort.
Just before dawn.
The red soldiers led by Vasco set out from the village of Honkulu.
Vasco has barely managed to sleep, but he has no choice but to be the captain of the Red Army.
-Ma. A monster is coming from Jarrow, and unless it's a match, it's okay to fall asleep on the road.
Even if it were to be a pot, it would be unlikely to be ambushed by a monster because it would have two cavalrymen ahead of it.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to sleep a little. If anything happens, wake me up."
Having said that, he lay on one of the few wagons, not his own.
There is no shelter in the wagon, but plenty of blankets are pushed into the gap between the luggage to secure the bed.
“Okay, how long should I wait to get to Jallow Village?”
"If nothing in particular, wake me up in front of you. Fuahhh
"Good night, Vasco."
Tania throws the command of the movement round, and Vasco starts to sleep immediately.
The carriage had the worst ride, but Vasco was used to it.
The village of Jallow.
--Oh? Is that...?
Zess was distracted by what was rolling in the corner of the room while raping the female soldier who was holding her down.
Yes, it was a soldier who killed a woman yesterday.
In his previous life, he designed a face armor that resembled the golee (goalkeeper) of a former ice hockey player.
The soldier wearing this mask had a terrible burn on her face and was wearing a mask to hide it.
Of course, Zess, who had finally reached the stage where she could free her accumulated libido, saw her face burned by the burn, and she was angry and pulled her neck and killed her. She immediately prepared the next woman, so she completely forgot.
Since the minions found a slightly unusual woman, I understand that you brought me with some thoughts that you might be happy to offer to Zess, so I refrain from interfering with the minions.
The woman who is committing this crime is constantly breathing, and if she continues to commit it, she may die from pain.
--You 're not done getting used to it yet. Is this about right?
Zess has crushed many women so far, but she has grasped the salt and pepper of training for a long time.
Give me the next one!
Zess shouted as she moved away from the woman.
The minions immediately took the woman out of the cabin, and another minion grabbed the new woman and came in.
His minions had already grasped Zess's preferred type.
Unlike them, Zess prefers a thin, big-breasted woman.
Sometimes I get whimsical, and sometimes I have fun with a girl who doesn't go to the end of the year, but my men just twist their necks to see what touched Zess's wire.
Considering such whims, the minions are determined to contribute to Zess if they catch a slightly unusual woman, but as mentioned above, they do not understand the makeup of the face, so they are often angry at the offerings of the corners.
"Hey, bring that."
One of Zess's minions looked strange in his words.
I understand instructional pronouns, but I need to point them out so that I can clearly say which goods and people are actually referring to them.
- Shit. This is it...
"That weirdo."
Zess, who got a little more calm after interrupting sex, changed her language and added some qualifiers.
Some of them can understand better than others, but few of them can understand these abstract qualifiers.
I still don't seem to understand it, and I have an impatient expression on my face.
I'm scared of Zess's delight.
You can't forget that once you wake up, you can still kill your minions with your emotions.
Not to mention, it's rarely gone these days.
I finally understood by pointing at the rolling mask.
--But I have to look at the opportunities and educate them as much as I can. I'm the one who gets even more troublesome.
I grabbed the mask that the orc who ate his age greeted me and looked at it from everywhere.
Apparently, the mask itself was made of wood, and it was made by scraping wood.
In addition to the holes in the eye position, there are also smaller holes in various places, such as air holes.
It seems that the mask itself is fixed using a leather band that extends from two sides.
It didn't have to hit my face, it was too small for Zess.
As for the little auger, it can be said that he has a small face, but his height has already exceeded 2m, and his skull has grown considerably.
Besides, the shape of the skull is slightly different between humans and augers, so it won't fit perfectly where the size fits.
Of course, the same goes for monsters that are a little bigger than humans, like orcs and hobgoblins.
--No matter how well I make this, I can't put it because my vision is narrow... no, it's completely useless considering it as a defense.
For example, it may be difficult to process, but if it is made of metal, it may sufficiently prevent unexpected blows and artillery fire.
Depending on how I hit it, I might even be able to play low-ranking attack magic.
--Well, that's too much to expect, but it's worth a lot if you can't stand a single blow.
I'd think of something like that, but I'd deny it right away.
- Oh shit. If you're going to use precious metal, you're going to need a weapon first...
It was difficult for augers to use human-sized objects on the boulders.
That's why, in the past, it takes a lot of effort as if Zeus himself had made it easier to grip by wrapping leather around the handle.
Several metal weapons with incredible destructive power just by swinging them with Augur hands, such as Warhammer and Battle Axe, have been refurbished and given to their Augur followers.
Orcs and hobbling goblins can use human-sized swords, and weapons as small as goblins, cobolds, and nords can often be used as they are for dwarves and half-rings.
But both of them are not enough at all.
In that sense, I was able to acquire a large number of weapons in this raid.
--Is it going to reduce the power of the arrow even if it's made of wood...? "
Zeus and his men are just as urgent with their heads and hearts as humans (many of the races in their right chest).
If it was an auger like Zess, a sturdy skull could block penetration if it was a normal arrow.
However, for races other than Augur, attacks on the head are often fatal.
It was rare to be saved, and Zess felt that the odds were not very different from the odds that a human with an arrow on his head or face would be saved.
Noooo!
The woman you brought in is panicking and screaming.
Although it was a scream that hurt my ears, now Zess doesn't wake up so easily.
Last night, I killed a female soldier wearing a mask because her face was ugly.
You, put this on a little bit.
said while showing the mask to the woman who was lying on her back and pressing her limbs against the table.
No! Stop... eh?
The woman was puzzled by Zess's words.
Even if I put aside what I had spoken and the fine accents, I was surprised because I not only spoke meaningful words, but also pronunciations that were fairly easy to hear.
Will you not kill me?
This is what I'm ordering. You have no right to negotiate. But if you honestly listen to me, I won't eat here. "
Zeth's words were well understood by women.
Although the content was one-sided, the woman who even thought that she would be eaten alive rather than being abused nodded in a crisp motion without one or two.
"You guys, let go of her arm."
In response to Zess's words, her minions freed the woman's arms.
You can't escape because your legs are pressed open.
The woman Zess handed the mask to her and quickly put on the mask.
It doesn't fit a lot, but it still fits a lot better than Zess and her minions.
--Oh. This is... a big intimidating effect against both humans. Besides, we may be able to hide our race structure in some cases.
Of course, Orcs and Hobgoblins are also quite powerful.
It is possible for a man to be taller than a man of the same height.
Well, it also means that they lose the limiters of their brains quite easily compared to humans.
Is this... okay?
The woman turned to Zess and asked.
Can you make something similar to this? Or do you know someone who could make it? '
With those words, the woman understood that she was trying to make a mask for the monsters.
'I know, I know, I know. But...... ”
What?
Maybe he's already dead.
When Zess heard the words, she thought, "It's quite possible," but she didn't say it.
In anticipation of slavery, only men and women who seemed robust were caught in the first massacre.
Even if the craftsman doesn't survive, if he just shreds the wood, he'll do more than we can.
Zess, who was a little upbeat, told the minions who had held the woman's arm earlier, "Bring all the captured humans before this Yee!” he ordered.
And then,
I'll give you a reward.
Eh?
Take it off first.
Ah, yes...
And in front of the woman who is still being held down, Niu stands up.
"In front of the woman who is awake..."
Be polite... I'll let you serve me...
Due to Zess's whims, the minions who worked violently in Jallow Village rushed out.
After all, it was only natural that those who could defy Zess's direct orders should not be allowed to exist.
Thanks to this, Junkel's army was found passing through the village of Jallow only after a considerable number of people had passed through.
