Episode 73: Triea Conflict ① Mourning Hill

"It appears that thousands of Royal Trier troops have been deployed near the border. The small peasant population is crushed from one end of the spectrum."

Adolphe with a sinking face and Leopold with no expression, but the facts remain the same.

Apparently the Kingdom of Triea is slaughtering fugitive peasants at the same time as showing off.

"Now it's the opposite of what I told Madran. Whatever they're doing in the country, it's not about us talking."

"We're sending light cavalry disguised as gathering more detailed information to reconnaissance across the border."

Leoporto just doesn't have a loose eye.

You would deny knowing a guy like that in case he was detained.

"Keep it on track, all right? So, what do you know about more than rumors?

Adolph's information is basically based on listening to and analyzing and summarizing it from pedestrians and the people.

Exactly on the outside, but I know very little about the military.

"The number is about 5,000, with cavalry and archers organized in a balanced manner. Definitely the Royal Army."

"Did you deploy the Royal Army 5,000 to the border? You didn't think you'd collide with us if you were bad."

"That's because Sir Hardlett talked in a fight hips... he must also be harassing you"

They're the ones with the little butthole.

"Anything else?

"Yes, until now this force seems to have expanded widely and thinly, waiting for a group of peasants to head east to destroy it, but starting to gather around the border yesterday at a point near the border"

"Gathering? Even coming across the border?

"There's no point in doing that. I'm checking from here on out, so I'm guessing at the moment..."

I urge you to tell me.

"There were reports from the scout cavalry that a group of peasants was joining us. Perhaps the population has grown enormous and has become so large that it cannot be dealt with by being scattered"

At the time of the former war, the prostitutes swelled to tens of thousands of scales.

Now that we've been divided the national territory, we won't be able to reach that scale, but if we still become thousands of units, we'll have to hit all we can with 5,000 troops.

"I see... but I can't leave it alone. How many soldiers do we have?

"2,000 for the Oriental Army, 300 for our Army, and 1,000 for the Mountain People… the Bow Cavalry"

You can't call them mountain people forever for taking them into the army.

I decided to call myself a bow cavalry because my common sense was so different that it was impossible to work with other troops and it was necessary for me to take direct command.

"If you're at 3300, even if they invade, you can handle it well enough."

Given the wide territory, there are many cavalry ratios in both the Oriental and our armies, and bow cavalry is all horseback riding formation, as the name suggests.

I gave them goldonian bows and arrows and armor. They will do more than the number of soldiers.

"So what do we do? At the moment there are no special threats in the territory either. All these forces are free to move."

"This is the first time I've moved everything together, or it would be a good exercise. Stay in the border zone."

Adolf just made a difference.

"Even Triea is concerned about the insurgency, and she has distrust of this one in previous talks. If we put more than 3,000 soldiers here near the border, we will stimulate them, and if we snag, we will accidentally go into battle..."

Me and Leopold look at each other and then Adolph.

"Is there a problem?

"Sometimes, I guess."

Adolf's sigh was cancelled by the noise of the hall, which began to panic.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

A few days later, around the western border.

The army of the assembled kingdom of Triea and my army, which has marched to the west, face to face in the border zone.

In the west, some hills are used as borders and there are no clear criteria.

Just across the hill is Triea and this one of the hills is drawn an obscure line that says Gordonia.

There are no villages or fields around anyway, so there is no other way to do this than by reference to the terrain.

"Tell them all, especially the bow cavalry, strictly." Don't climb the hill. "

The two countries are not hostile, and the transactions are carried out freely, without particular restrictions.

Therefore, we are not strictly alert to border lines, and there is no particular blame for individuals crossing the border outside the streets.

But when an armed army exceeds, it means something different.

I'll do as much as I can with provocation, but it would be beyond my limits to set it up first.

"It's all right! I won't move until I have orders from the chief!

I'm also bringing Pipi in to work quickly with a bow cavalry who doesn't listen to orders other than mine.

Even on the move they had left the others unattended and forwarded.

This is where we're going.

"And at least call it a captain or something, and it's not good enough to be called a chief"

Even if I let my men call me a chief or something, I feel like I've become a barbarian king.

"All right, great chief!

"... so what do you say, Leoporto"

"We can't climb the hill in front of them, so we're making a watch, but the situation is the same as reported scouts. About 5,000 soldiers are expanding to block the border. But the line is stretched toward the Trier side, not an attack on this side, but an attempt to intercept the escape of the rebels."

"Well, maybe we've been a little ahead of ourselves in leading the whole army. But I can't help what's come. Do you want to sit here until they pull back?"

Strict again not to cross the border hills, forming formations.

Even on the Triea side, he noticed the sights that stood side by side to grow from under the hill.

"One light cavalry rides, coming over the hill! Possesses a white flag, looks like a messenger."

Celia speaks up.

Both Celia and Irijina are roughly bringing in all those involved in the army because of the exercise.

And you're here to complain quickly?

"I am the second dispatch of the Royal Army of Triea..."

Don't get unwilling to ask me one thing every time I get named.

"... and Sir Hardlett himself led the army for any reason!?

"I don't know if it's a peasant hunt, but 5,000 soldiers are moving in places adjacent to my territory. Isn't it scarcer to look at a lord in a daze?

"Everything is in our realm, Sir Hardlett has something to do with you..."

"Of course it doesn't matter and I'm not going to blame you. As a precaution, we also moved our forces within our own territory."

I guess the messenger is wary of the possibility of this one working with peasants to pinch them.

If that's what you're going to do, you're going to be attacked the moment you find it.

We're not gonna do anything without your troops breaking the border or launching an attack.

"... you don't lie about that, do you?

"Do you want to try and step across the border?

After a silent glance for a while, the envoy left after telling him that the only purpose was to suppress the rebellion and that he had no intention of violating the territory at all.

"Is it true what you said to the messenger?

For Leopold, I guess the messenger is here to cheat, but hate me. I'm not.

"Of course it's true. No matter how many peasants they hunt in their territory, it's not about me."

In Yogri's case, he acted for my personal promises, but the people outside his territory had no idea.

"If you attack me, I'll smash you all at once."

"Exactly, because they're not stupid either. You won't be fooling around like that at a difficult time in the rebellion. Experience in actually marching and building positions and saying you feel the air on the battlefield is also valuable. It won't be in vain."

Especially for the Mountain People's Revolutionary Bow Cavalry. We have to make sure our army shows how it moves.

Celia, the people's representative of the meadows, has also been intimate against him as he strokes Pipi's head.

I don't think this is the battlefield when you're stroking a woman's head with both hands.

"It's a new unit ahead! The number… is unknown due to the irregular formation. Thousands of scales! We're heading straight for the border."

I whistled unexpectedly.

They say we arrived here at the perfect time.

It's a bunch of peasants.

"Let's check it out"

I climb myself.

It's a simple object, so I can't climb many people, but if it's about me and Celia, it won't be a problem.

Looks like Leopold's climbing next door.

Iridina wanted to see it too but it was rejected due to weight overruns.

"It's a pretty neat march to gather peasants."

"It has also been shallow since the dismantling of the Arkland army. It must be led by someone with military experience."

Speaking of which, Arkland territory today is full of people with military service experience.

Return soldiers to the peasants who fought as prostitutes, so the soil of mass rebellion was solid.

"Still, you won't be able to make a breakthrough in that formation,"

There is order, but the formation is impotent.

It also includes women and children because the purpose is to flee, and they will not be able to move or change formation more quickly than they are protecting around them.

"The number doesn't seem to reach 10,000. This will not win the King Trier Army 5,000."

Negative opinions also emerge from Leopold.

Is it only possible that when it does, it will clash from the front and fall into my territory in a state of confusion?

The purpose of the peasants is not to win, but to flee.

Exactly. Neither can the Royal Trier Army attack the people who fled into the territory in front of my army.

"Can't we do more than look at it?"

"Right. Either way, the death of the people or the damage inflicted by the King's army will destroy the national power of Triea. Ideally, the weakening of neighboring countries would be delightful, and the people would be wiped out and the King's army would be devastated."

If Yogri had been here, Leoporto would have beaten him up.

Celia was nodding Hmm.

It's good to study strategy, but don't leoporterize it.

I'm worried, so let's play a prank.

"Hin!

I stroke Celia's important place with my fingers from the gap in my armor.

One of the guard soldiers left behind in his sudden pretty voice turned this way, but he couldn't see it from before.

Celia is desperate to return her expression, too, so the soldier returns his gaze across the hill.

(Dear Eigil! Please stop. Soldiers!

I'm gonna whisper to you. Ignore Celia. My fingers got into an important place.

I've been teaching that I can't do anything about my fingers that I twist and resist but have already gotten into, and I'm not moist and damp inside and seriously dislike.

Finger around the immature cave you already know, rubbing it up where she likes it best.

"Ha!"

Celia feels a whisper when she is rubbed there, but now there are soldiers in front of her.

I desperately want to be more mean when I see him biting his sleeve and putting up with it, but I also decided to settle for him at once because it's pathetic to expose him to ugliness in front of the soldiers.

Put your mouth in Celia's ear and say something.

(You're adorable, Celia. Here, get up.)

Rub your favorite place hard as you say it.

"Huh!!!!

I bite my sleeve desperately to catch my peak voice, but my posture shook loudly and my butt protruded to be dedicated to me with foreboding, putting down one breath and a ton of juice conveying my thighs.

"Ha-ha-ha..."

I got a relieved look at the rough, breathtaking Celia but I didn't think anyone could do it.

"Sir Hardlett, may I now? Looks like it's about to start."

Knowing ruthlessly that Leopold had seen her from the beginning, Celia turned her face bright red, managed to fix it, and buried her face in my chest realizing there was nothing she could do about it.

"I can see the settlement, but how many people can roll in?"

"I think it's about a hundred people at most, and that's ideal. If you run away in large numbers, you can expect confusion."

We watch the rebel peasants and the Trieans fight.

Well, let me show you how it ends.

The leaders of the two armies clashed in front of the border zone, screaming.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Within the peasant population

"Endigo, let's go! Whatever you do, let them break through the women and children!

Farmers wrapped in pieces of gear thrust into the Triea army screaming.

This guy who shouted and I are best friends from the old Arkland Army.

I joined this rebellion in a way that would have been pulled by this guy who had a strong sense of justice.

"Everybody listen! You don't have to fight them properly. If we cross that hill, we win!

Looks like something to me.

Though a soldier, those who have been in the army for years and have run through the battlefield many times know it.

If we're going to deal with an army in such a cluttered group, we need three times as many.

From what I've seen, this one is 8,000 and the opponent is 5,000 places like that, you'll never win.

The only way to move forward unscrupulously and multiply the confusion is to cross the border.

The vanguards collided with each other and the battle began.

Combat will to some extent be able to fight each other because he has military service experience among the group and solidifies it with guys with armor and spear gear.

But when one falls back, the spears and swords alone become the unarmed, and even more so the peasants with quails and sickles in the rear.

"Cavalry's coming from the side!

I would have put up a long spear to prevent it, but I'm not equipped or skilled enough.

We just have to ignore it and push on.

Arrows pour down and the cavalry chops down women and old men all they want.

The two horsemen who came nearby paid for the horse's feet to drop him, but the other cavalry had to leave him alone.

Fighting is pointless and all we want is to move forward.

"Whoa!!

My partner, who slashed up to five enemy soldiers, was pierced in the stomach by the sixth.

The guy who stopped moving was instantly stabbed to death.

"Endigo, go!! Don't stop!"

I meant it better than that.

Run through before the last blow blocks your partner's voice.

The enemy that comes out in front of you defeats and even runs.

There are also fewer women and children to protect, and there is only enough to count them already.

"Death to the traitor's civic flair!

"Weird!"

Avoid the spears of the aristocrats on horses and, conversely, stick a spear up your thighs.

It's full of rust, it hurts.

In the old Arkland Army, a shitty place like you is a good place to escort a supply unit.

Running through as he guides others as he mourns the unnecessarily crying aristocracy.

"Almost there! If we can climb the hill, the chase won't come."

The pursuit against this one is loose because of our people being rounded up and besieged in the rear.

I can get away with this.

The leading men finish climbing the hill with cheer and run down.

The Trieans also seem to have given up on the group that started climbing the hill and are not coming after us if we are going to do everything in our power to annihilate the rear group.

I'm sorry to hear about the rear guys, but I knew it would take this form from the start.

And it's ironic that my partner, who wasn't interested in living, would die if I survived.

I look back knowing it was pointless when I climbed the hill halfway up.

I saw the sight there.

The couple fleeing while protecting the little child, but due to fatigue, the speed was slow and was caught up by Trier's soldiers.

The father, who resists desperately, is immediately slaughtered and killed, and a sword also stands on his mother's chest.

A sword waves down several times toward a child crying out at the sudden death of his parents, and the soldiers leave looking for another goal.

Probably what's happening all over the place right now, but the current ran on my head.

I had a wife and a son until just a month ago.

I also had trouble eating because of the heavy taxes and I had managed to earn a dime for a boring job, but the kid who was still young couldn't stand living in poverty.

So he said his wife managed to offer her grace to the deputy.

But his wife, who visited the mansion of the deputy, was demanded of her body in consideration, and responded for her children.

And then he found out that his wife was thrown out knowing he didn't know after being played all he wanted with his body.

Food distress persisted and the child died of weakness.

You must have thought that my wife, who lost my child and was torn to her body, had lost everything.

My wife hurt herself at home when I buried the child and went home.

That's when my time stopped, and there's no point in living.

There was no more resentment, no more grief, and he just lived.

That's why my partner took me into this revolt, which is obviously a thin winner, without hesitation.

Another family ended in front of me.

I'm sure there are hundreds of parents and children dying right now.

We have to stop it.

The emotion that awakens in my heart is anger.

If I don't crush them, the grief I taste will be repeated as much as I want.

"But there's nothing I can do if I turn it back..."

I leave it to my anger to run down the hill, and even if I cut them off, it's the same fate as my partner.

Slashing and throwing away a few enemies doesn't change anything.

That's when the guys climbing up the hill are pointing at something and screaming.

Standing sights, this and climbing the hills, there are thousands of armies lined up there.

I thought it was an ambush of an enemy, but it doesn't look like it's going to attack me.

If you stare further, their flag is......

"Goldonian Army! You're going to help us!?

With this number of soldiers, we might be able to leave Trier.

And an unusual number of cavalry.

It should be an unfavourable opponent for the Trier Army, which has been thinking about beating the peasants.

"Oooh!! I need your help! Everybody's getting fucked over there!

Calling out loud, but no answer.

On second thought, I would have stood under the hill and watched the war, and if I was going to come in to help, I would have come.

"Just a lookout... No, you can't cross the border."

Anyone knows that Triea and Goldonia jointly crushed Arkland.

I guess I won't do anything to interfere with events in the realm.

"No!... but then why put such a large army in the border zone?

Those of you who can't run beside me are desperate to roll into the safe zone and certainly haven't heard my voice or anything.

I don't have an answer, but I felt a strong gaze from above.

The gaze of a man who looks like a nobleman with a black cape when he looks in the eye, a beautiful girl in armor beside him, is rare on the battlefield.

"War Ghost Hardlet!!

That face looks familiar.

He was also a knight who seemed like a nightmare of Datron's battle, of blowing his allies like they were out of bolt in front of me serving.

I knew it was in his possession to aim, but I didn't know he was coming out!

stare without cowering its eyes.

Help me, my people are being killed there right now.

You should be able to help.

But he doesn't move.

Still, my eyes were not diverted from mine.

I thought he only laughed a little.

I'm not laughing at stupid me, I'm looking for something dramatic.

It seemed like such a laugh.

Nobody said anything, but at least that's what I felt.

"Fine, it's the kind of life I threw away anyway. Let's show him the best play ever!

I look back to the Trier army side and stand at the top of the hill.

"Listen, Trier's incompetence, I'm gonna teach you a piece of junk that can only kill a girl and a child! I am the rebel leader, the one who flipped the flag against you fools!!

I had an incredible voice myself.

The soldiers in the vicinity look back here in unison.

I just didn't feel bad standing alone on stage.

"No matter how many other people you kill, I will return and rebel elsewhere!

Trier soldiers gather out.

Conveniently, I'm standing in front of the archers.

"What's up? Kill me or I'll do it over and over again! You amateur arrows must have hit it right in front of you. You can shoot whatever you want."

Some of the archers get furious and lead arrows to the bow, but the commander rushes to quit.

It just doesn't get caught in a simple hand.

If you look, all the soldiers in the vicinity are already gathered under the hill to besiege me.

But nobody climbs the hill alone and tries to catch me.

You don't have the courage to set foot on this border.

"What's up! Incompetence! Dumbness! You're a coward who can't even shoot his enemies!

Looks like you can hear their toothpicks in the loud sounding voice.

"Tell the whole squad, never shoot! They're gonna shoot us into Gordonian territory!

An aristocratic man screams as he runs in front of an archer with a horse.

I will curse the nobleman, but I will take no action other than staring at him.

If we don't hurry, the people will be wiped out in the rear where the fighting is going on.

I gazed at him for any breakthroughs and found a familiar flag.

I was in the army. I know some noble flags.

"Aren't you Viscount Mezzare! I was a citizen of your territory. My brother, are you magnificent?

A big, muscular man to see his face warped, I've never seen his face before but he seems to be the Viscount.

"This is rude! My brother, I killed you! Has your body been identified?

Of course it's a lie.

I was just hearing stories about Viscount Mezzale's brother being killed in the revolt of the people who didn't know his name.

"Killing nobles has a nasty civil flair!

This is good, Brother Mezzare seems short tempered as he looks.

"My brother, you had a fine body like a pig and a brave heart like a chicken. I am truly sorry for your loss."

"All of you! You fool the dead. Shut him up!

His men spear and squeeze their bows at the command of brother Mezzare, who yells at him with a bright red face.

"Sir Mezzare, calm down! This is an enemy trap."

The nobles around us are desperate to forgive us, but we won't be able to fit in this far.

"Let me tell you the end of my brother. I stabbed an iron skewer in the butthole and cooked it whole alive. I thought it was delicious because it was like a pig, but it sounded like a sheep."

"Whoa! Shoot that savage! Traitors to inhumans! Kill me!

A soldier cannot disobey an order left to his master's wrath.

The arrow leaves the bow one after the other and flies towards me.

I could see every single one of them as if the time had slowed down.

Open your hands and wait for the arrow to close your eyes.

I could clearly see the feeling of one, another and an arrow poking at my body.

But there is no way that dozens of arrows can accurately be shot at by a single human being, and a few are off target and pierced to the ground in front......

Several jumped overhead and flew to the other side of the hill.

I didn't feel any pain at all with more than ten arrows stabbed in my body, just satisfaction.

I twisted my neck and laughed at Sir Hardlett.

That was an interesting play, wasn't it? How about this?

My eyes were sumptuous, I could no longer see what he looked like, but I did everything I could, no regrets.

Will I see my wife and son in the underworld?

I reached out looking for my lost family in my slowly darkening vision, and my consciousness fell completely into darkness.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Goldonian position

As expected, the massacre by the Trieans will begin and a small number of the people will roll into this realm at a gap.

But a man stopped and asked for help.

Of course, I don't have the right to ask you that.

But instead of offending this one, the man smiled lightly at me, then provoked the Trier army, showered arrows all over his body and died.

That's all I have to say in terms of results.

"Dear Eigil!

The last thing he left in the world, it was just a few arrows that jumped into our army position.

Off-target flow arrows fly powerless and pierce the ground.

But one of them stood on the foot of a soldier lined up.

The unlucky infantry pushed his leg and fell in, but the wound would only have to be lightly hemostatic, not deep.

But still, the arrows unleashed by the Triea army jumped across the border and wounded soldiers in our army.

"Leoporto, will this be a reason to attack them?

"Clearly. The same applies to declarations of war, such as crossing borders and releasing arrows. If it's an accident, of course, there's room for negotiation."

I guess the man who became a needle on the hill was after this.

The deliberate act was a disgrace, but the courage is a great deal.

It was easy for him to pick up his life.

Just a few steps into this side of the hill and no one would have done any more harm to the man.

Even now, the face of a man rolling on a hill shows no fear or pain other than the satisfaction he has accomplished.

He was a foolish and funny man for a long time.

At least not than the Triea Army, which is going around killing the people in front of them.

"Leopold, Celia, give the whole army an attack order."

"Ha!"

"It will be a total war. May I?

"There would be a chance, wouldn't there?

I'm not thinking about it, but this guy's gonna have something.

"I don't think it's going to be such a bad future."

He's the one who doesn't live up to expectations.

Then why don't we start a war?

Did Celia already give you an order when you got down? All the troops are lined up for each unit.

One of my orders.

"I tell the whole army! Now there was an attack on our army from the Royal Trier Army across the hill. This is a clear act of hostility. Therefore, our army will invade the Kingdom of Triea to eliminate this threat!

There is no twitching.

Everyone sees that the arrows have flown, and I'm going to train them to a point where I'm not afraid to fight.

"Before we move forward, let's return the interest first. Archers, bow cavalry, fire across the hill, multiply it 100 times and give it back!

Following more than a thousand iron rains, all armies collapse across the hills into Triea territory.

Goldonia and Triea are not hostile to each other.

I'll start this war, I'll fight it.
