Episode 34: Southern Departure

"Southern Nobility Rebellion," "Arnold Border Bo Rebellion."

The shocking news happened to run through the King's Capital and held on to the subject without distinction of the civilian nobility.

Within the royal palace, bureaucrats and ministers rush around ridiculously.

"We will now have an urgent meeting before you. This agenda is…"

"Don't waste it! What else is there but a calculation to suppress the rebellion!

The place quieted back to the king's drink.

"We don't need a meeting either. A rebel wakes up a soldier, and we suppress it. Isn't that all!

At the end of the story, ministers devour the king who tries to take his seat.

"But Your Majesty, even if you called it repression, Uncle Borderline has already gathered thousands of soldiers. We're also gathering troops from the border zone, and border security is in a critical situation…"

"They are not planning to overthrow the kingdom. I thought you were just confused by His Majesty's, its, harsh circular..."

The attitude of the ministers cannot be boiled down.

"What do they want to say? Are you going to make concessions with the rest of the traitors, drool your head and beg forgiveness?

"But we don't have the means to crack them down in our country right now, if we prolong it, the gap that goes into Arkland!

Foolish ministers, isn't it your incompetence that increased that Arkland!

"It doesn't go far. It's the central army for that."

"But... that kind of collection." This!

It is taboo to deny the king's hegemonic army, because the minister of naïvism does not have that much courage.

"First we turn to the central army and try to crack them down. If the army is defeated, you can concede and think again at that time. The meeting is over! I'll give my own orders to go."

The king jumped out saying he had nothing more to say.

"Oh man, you're in trouble..."

"It would be like taking the throne by rebellion."

"Well, if your prized toys are broken, let's see a little bit of reality."

It is inconceivable that an army not yet two months after its establishment can be turned over to the enemy land for victory.

At best, I hope we don't lose the king and the glory of ourselves that goes with it after the war.

The ministers sighed and disturbed their minds about post-war terms of harmony.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Radharde...... no Eirich. Finally, here comes the first line."

"Yes, I will do my utmost to meet His Majesty's expectations"

The enthusiasm shown to the ministers doesn't even make them feel fine dust. The king speaks in a sober tone.

It's all about acting, like I knew this would happen from the start.

"The purpose of this outing is not just victory. We need a quick and overwhelming victory. Enough to shake up not only the rebels, but all the nobles in the kingdom."

"I understand."

"I'll only reveal it to you, but once the country is cleared, the rest is a heart attack on Arkland. We can't afford to spend time on a little rebellion like this."

"Is it Arkland"

"to beat the nobles to pieces without their skin, so that there will never be anything else to think about going against again"

Eirich nodded silently.

Forgiveness is not necessary, what is required is shock and fear.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Departure!!

Legion leader Eirich takes the lead, pulls out his sword, and puts a decree on it.

Soon after, the Central Army ordered each unit leader to repeat it and began marching in a neat vertical formation.

It is beautiful for a flock of soldiers enlarged to 5,000 to march in discipline correctly, and the inhabitants of the king's capital stop their work and gather on the boulevard.

"Agor, don't be so nervous. I'm the captain more than ordered to leave. You just have to do everything you can to help."

"Ha! You shouldn't, you worry about all the squadron weaknesses floating around"

"Hasn't it been a long time for you to fight in action, too?

"Yes, when I was younger, I took part in a big battle with the Empire, but then I was a soldier, and I didn't lead people in action."

"Still, it's valuable to have felt the air on the battlefield. Don't hesitate to tell me if you find any loopholes in command."

Agor nods and skips instructions to keep pace with the other cavalry.

There are currently three cavalry squadrons in the Central Army, but my squadron, with its heavy cavalry 180 and excellent practice, is the main force.

Sometimes the timing of an order could dictate the overall battlefield.

And I'm sleepy.

I have barely slept since the waiting list came out yesterday and the ladies, especially Carla and Nonna, have asked for it many times when I can't see them for a while.

I could tell Mitty and Alma that I would love them apart and wipe the two of them faint in a tough state to quote, but I don't know what a child Alma does to a man and a woman and the consequences of it.

"Sister, what is this stickiness?

"This... is the love of a man... or a seed..."

"Weird smell"

"No, Alma! If you touch this, you'll have a baby!

"Uh."

When I remembered, the laughter began to creep up.

You can't say I don't get my hands on kids directly, but I don't think it's a very good environment for educating kids.

"Dear Eigil. What's the matter, sir?

Celia is lining up beside me at some point.

The cavalry is assigned a large army horse, so lining up next to Schwartz doesn't make a difference as high as it used to be.

She didn't look asleep yesterday because she slept in the corner of her bed.

"Sleep a little too hard yesterday."

Celia dyes her face red at once.

"So, so I told you to weigh yourself in yesterday... no, because those two want so much! I can't believe you scream and lose your mind like a horny beast, even though it's inside you!

"Don't tell him that. It happened because I attacked too much, mostly bad guys on the bed."

"Ugh, and it's those two, but lately, I don't seem to be using the example medication, you know?

Celia is remarkable, she seemed to have been observing closely until before and after the act.

"Oh, I know. They want kids, I bought a house, and I thought it would be good. Don't worry, it's an agreement."

Celia was thinking with a complicated face.

"So those two are so... if only I had grown up a little more too..."

"If I get pregnant, I'll be waiting at home, okay?

"I don't like that"

Schwartz hissed all the time asking me to stop.

The horses of the cavalry around him are slightly disturbed by that voice.

Schwartz's size was exceptional even within the First Cavalry Squadron, where large military horses were collected.

Female lovers are still alive and Celia has been looking after them for a while because she won't let the squad caregivers touch her body, but now the female breeders are taking care of her exclusively.

Celia, this is war.

"Yes! I'll make it look active"

"I hope so..."

I have trouble with things like dying for a handle.

"When you're a grown woman, I'll let you have a baby. So don't die."

"Huh! What an honor!

Rebel's home, Arnold Border, is seven days in the regular march.

However, it takes two more days to reach the city from the time it enters the realm.

The local interest in the territory is entirely on the other side, so you will need to be extraordinarily vigilant.

Until then, try to get comfortable stroking Celia's ass.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Seven days later, Alnod's peripheral Erich Squad.

"You're unexpected to be in the field. I thought I could stand in the city."

Borderline uncle's army was forming around a small high hill, close to the entrance to the territory.

"You wanted to avoid the city being burned in the chaos of war. It's convenient here."

As far as I can tell, Uncle Borderline's army is dominated by infantry and few cavalry.

I also assumed an urban offensive, but the field would be more conducive to fighting.

"Form a formation immediately. They're higher up, the arrows will get to you first, so be careful. Lead the way with a shield."

Formations will be created with the results of training or with a unified movement.

I don't really see it as a two-month regiment move when I founded it.

On the other hand, the Border Bell Army is about the same as the number, but it is cluttered, and looks consolidated like a dough.

Seeing this one form up and start moving forward, he hastily rearranges the line.

But the movement was slow, and the line looked like a snoring line.

Still, the advantage of forming a line on the hill is great, with pieces of arrows pouring against the approaching infantry corps, and the soldiers falling, which were missed by shields.

Arrows emanating from the top of the mountain extend their range, and the difference in altitude increases their power, making it easy to penetrate the leather armor that regular infantry is equipped with.

For a while, the avant-garde of an ally who had been shot unilaterally, but advanced without slowing down the march, and the archers of the ally also put the enemy in range.

"Serial shooting, shoot me!

Arrows were also released from the archers of the allies and shooting began between the archers of the two armies.

Whereas the arrows of the Border Bell Army descend into pieces and wide ranges, the arrows of the Allied Archers, combined with the timing and aim of the shooting, poke intensively in one place.

Unlike infantry, an archer who can't defend himself with a shield is defenseless when exposed to attack.

Eating effective concentrated fire, the Archers of the Border Bergamot fall one after the other, and the arrows of the counterattack decrease visibly.

Enemy archers fall back without coincidence.

You'll hide in the shadow of the big shield behind you, Theory Avenue will have an excellent long spear squad out here for defense.

"Now, order the First Cavalry Squadron to storm the center of the enemy. Maximum speed!

Orders are immediately conveyed by flag.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Captain, this is an assault order.

Agor extends his spine to report.

"Assault with all squad wedges! Follow me!

"Wow, me too!

You just trained the assault as a top priority, and you can call it an assault-only formation. Expanding to the wedge is fast.

The distance to the enemy is only a little, and there will be no problem with the full force disease.

Schwartz is more and more accelerating by shaking off the others among squadrons that have collected horses that beat speed.

The infantry and archers of the allies that were deploying forward panicked to clear the way, and a storm of 200 horsemen can't blow through it.

"Look! The enemy hasn't changed archers and spear soldiers in time. We're going in like this, don't slow down!

The avant-garde of the Border Bell Army is staggered with an archer fleeing and a long-spear soldier trying to get forward, with no decent formation.

There is an applause for the confusion as the archers, threatened by an even more impending heavy cavalry, unleashed their bows on their own without following orders.

There is no way to miss this opportunity.

An arrow flies sporadically from time to time, but it doesn't pose a problem.

The squadron shouts simultaneously at a distance of 50 m and seconds to contact.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

The roaring voice would have also sounded like a demon scream to the enemy army.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Southern aristocratic faction

"I didn't hear this!

We shouted at each other with our spears.

The nobleman who came to the village to conscript just brought a spear, and he told me that he would feed me too.

Even when the king's army pushed him over, he said he'd be fine if he wasn't caught off guard with his gaze!

The first bow shot, I was hiding in my shield, but the soldiers on my side were falling apart.

I sometimes use bows in hunting too, but it should definitely be more advantageous to shoot from high ground!

The archers escaped and were ordered to step forward and put up a spear.

I tried to rush off, but the archers running away are in the way and I can't stand them properly!

The other cavalry broke in while I was doing this.

They're all coming to my place in a straight line, like knights.

Damn it! You could deviate a little to the left or right!

The guys in the bow squad are rushing to shoot arrows, but they're not working at all, on the contrary, they're stopping and putting up bows in the way and our longspears can't hold up properly.

"Get out of the way! I'm in the way!" "Don't push!" "It's already that far!!

They're getting ambitious, and everyone around them is scared and running away.

Can't this be it? I don't know what to think. The guy on the big black horse got in the lead.

The guy who tried to block the road gives a voice like a crushed frog when his horse stomps him.

Pathetically, that would be instant death.

My hometown guys tried to surround me and poke me with a spear, but I got turned into two straight spears with an axe-like spear.

Tyra on Momos...... he was a good guy.

"He's the commander! Shoot him. Eh!

The nobleman pulled out his sword and said something, but he was killed with a spear thrust.

The other cavalry collapsed one after the other, and their companions were defeated all over the place.

There's no way you can win this!

I threw away all my weapons and heavy armor and ran off to the spot.

I don't like dying here! My wife and son are waiting in the village!

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Eirihi main division

"Legion Leader! The First Cavalry Squadron has completely broken through the center of the enemy, the enemy is crumbling!

"Differences in proficiency would not have been easier if they had been quickly staged with long spears"

And it's amazing.

By one guess, the enemy formation is torn apart.

Especially around the leading and penetrating Agil, where people and parts of them dance through the universe like leaves of a tree.

There will be a lot of screaming in the field.

The way he fights breaks the enemy's heart.

"You would be a conscript or a recruited peasant from your gear. There's no way to escape with that in front of you."

I said it like the staff was impressed.

"Right. I don't want to die."

The formation of the enemy has collapsed so that the cavalry falls into the centre where it was struck out.

Left-wing right-wing troops change direction in an attempt to rescue the center.

"Right here. Infantry Squad Forward, Crush Your Enemy"

"We no longer need small work. The enemy is completely standing. If you can count on me, I'll push you through."

"Right. Orders a total attack on all troops! Let's pull the curtain."

My first cavalry squadron had already completely broken through the enemy formation and was out behind it when the infantry unit started moving forward.

"We've totally broken through our enemies! Change direction and stick it in your enemies again!

Celia talks excitedly about the big war results.

"No, we're going backwards like this"

"Why!? The enemy is exposed to defenseless backs..."

"I can't use my bow if we go in and get mixed up again, and I won't be able to move as the infantry unit thinks because I'm in danger of a peer fight. All we have to do is stay here, just because we have enemies in our asses is too much of a threat for them."

Agor nods too, I guess it's right as a tactic.

But it's boring to be frightened.

"All hands, beat the rear heavy squad while keeping them away from the enemy body!

It's not a waste to get supplies before you see the settlement and run away.

The Heavy Squad, whose mission is to carry supplies, will also be escorted, but there is no way that a heavily armed cavalry can be stopped with that level of force.

There is no way you can escape or pull a blunt-footed carriage, and your men and escorts were raised to a blood festival and a lot of food fell into our hands.

Enemy retreats from the top of the hill when it devastates heavy units and rearranges their ranks.

I'm guessing you're being pushed by the main body of the Central Army, the way you can't decide whether to lose or retreat.

Let's make it easy for him to understand.

"Look, Agor, it's time to go again. settle."

If you're already in a full-scale mix-up, you won't even be shooting a bow.

You may jump a few allies out of momentum, but if you settle quickly, the damage will end up diminishing.

"Everybody, take the sidelines. Treat or gradually crush enemies."

Moraled soldiers raise their weapons and raise their voices, storming side-by-side.

The Border Bell Army, which was being defeated after being broken through the center by cavalry and further attacked by infantry units, completely collapsed after a once-pervasive cavalry assault from behind.

As a result of a heavy pursuit by all Central Army units, more than 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers suffered a tragic loss of exposing their bodies.

As a general, he began as the eldest son of the Arnold border ambassador, Viscount Dodoria, and a large number of nobles also died in battle.

It was only in World War I that the Southern League of Nobles struck a fatal blow.

The steps of the central army will not stop.

All the way to the southern town of Zahr, where the Arnold border ambassador is located, he resumed his march.
