Episode 226: The Vandrea War Anomaly
Vandrea People's Union Central Vandrea Army
"We're rocking again." "Now you're big..."
Several ground swings occurred today.
Even though they are used to it, the soldiers look a little more anxious about the bigger shake than ever before.
A few of the horses were sighing, too, and the breeder had forgiven them.
"I'm not going to shake the ground..."
Baychek already held his head with a bite of his worn thumbnail.
Cassano, who looks equally serious next door, also stares at maps and sentences.
"Do you still have no reinforcements from home countries?
"On the contrary, I have told you that if you ever withdraw further from your current location, you will be treated as a deserter."
At the time of the border breakdown, Baychek and the others had no chance of winning.
They kept retreating as they detached the platoon as the best possible resistance, and were full of unilaterally pushed to maintain the front without being devastated.
"From the west we hear that a total attack has begun on both Altair. You can't afford your own country."
"... the evil rats of Liberties, anyway. They're good at fucking around back, pacifism."
Beychek slaps the order on the van and the desk.
Reviewing it any further does not make the letters appear.
"We have gathered everything from village guards to vigilantes… the number is to the extent that we have finally returned to 15000, the quality is unusual. Whatever you think, hitting Hardlett's army from the front is suicide."
Baychek, who replied by hand that he understood Cassano's words, left the tent with a face like he had given up.
And point south.
"Look... Mount Dard has gotten so close. They pushed me all the way here."
A mountain that soars at the tip of Baychek's fingers, a mountain not as tall as the Great Mountains, but nevertheless visible from a sumptuous distance.
The mountain, which soars across the border between Altair and Vandrea, will be strategically dramatic, with both Altair Vandrea armies at the foot and in a few rounds fighting to the death.
"If we don't stop here, there's really no aftermath. They're going to the capital, Vandra."
"… Comrade Beychek, can you give up your life for the good of your country?
Both Cassano and Baychek know that they have been cut off from the country.
The truth is, I was aware at the time I was ordered to invade overwhelmingly still at a disadvantage.
"Running away here doesn't give our country room to chase us."
"I guess."
Baychek compares the black flags lining the north to the plains spreading to the south.
"Say you've been abandoned. It's my country. I don't know how to escape without resisting."
"Even if you're going to lose your life?
I know the strength of the hardlet army and the lack of forgiveness.
If you fight next, you will have no life first.
"Even if you survive that way, you have to live a life of humility when you abandon your country and your family and run away. I'm a trinket... I don't have that much weight."
"Really..."
It was when Cassano tried to say something.
"Ground shake! Big again!!
The shake lasts for about twenty seconds so long that you can't stand properly.
The two laughed bitterly as they laid their hands on the desk and gave in.
"Because I told you to look good, you got in the way of the God of the earth."
"Are you telling me not to slap you in the mouth for nothing? Looks like God wants war too... and, comrade, my country doesn't recognize God."
The two laugh at each other again.
The troops gathered together lined up to prepare for the battle, which would probably be the last.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Goldonian side
"The enemy's main unit has finally stopped."
Leopold made sure the enemy was ready to fight, and we'll be ready to meet again.
"No town, no fortress. Here? Didn't you even have to ask if there were any traps..."
If there is that fear, Leoporto will be prepared to do the right thing without saying anything.
"The enemy's movements are constantly monitored by scouts. No suspicious movements. You won't be able to set up anything on this plain that uses terrain."
"Then you suddenly feel like deciding on this land."
"Maybe it's for political reasons."
Tristan, who was forced to bring him in, says as he reads the book.
Celia tried to strangle me, but I couldn't get on with the conversation, so I made her say it.
"If that army was in decent condition in the first place, we would have prepared a siege weapon once we pulled back and waited for reinforcements when we had an unexpected siege battle at the border. That's what sticks me in the groan. I can't think of anything from the law of war."
"If I may add, I don't think Altair's full offense has the power to turn it around here."
Looks like you're having a hard time over there, too.
"The enemy stopped and challenged the showdown. Then I'll break him from the front."
There is a distance to Vandra, the capital of Vandrea, but if we break our enemies here, there will be no one to block.
Even if there is a truce, this one will give you all you want.
"Are you ready?
"Everything's fine"
Myra sets her posture straight.
"Victory to the chief."
Luna doesn't seem to have a problem either.
"Guards, we're ready!
Celia also stretches her spine cutely.
The good thing about putting her on the battlefield is that she got used to the military way and got better posture.
Slurry, stretched chest on back, soft and tight, healthy colour and Rin live together.
Good woman.
"Oh, um..."
"Mm, sorry."
I touched my back and hips with nasty hands.
Let's do it after the battle.
"Same goes for winning!!
Iridina's big voice sounds good.
It's going to reach Mount Dard.
"... Mmm."
"Excellent condition."
"You're not gonna lose this time."
Looks like Mac and Giddo and Christoph are all set, too.
"No cloudy dimensions on my blade"
If this is okay with Chlor, too.
Let the battle begin.
"Geez." "Ooh!" "Mm..."
The ground rocks again.
I don't know how many times today, but even if the ground shakes, our advantage shouldn't shake.
The enemy was taking a formation with wide wings to the left and right against this one.
Five thousand to the front and roughly the same number of left and right wings.
Only the numbers are aligned on the road. They seem to be mutually reinforcing, but there are many soldiers with poor equipment in the distance.
"We are alert to cavalry detours and sieges. But the front is thin, and if you break through the long spear in the front row, you can easily split it it."
Leoporto took a look at the purpose and weakness of the formation at a glance.
"With the manoeuvrability of a bow cavalry, we can also turn further to the sides of both wings?
I understand Luna's suggestion but I deny it.
The enemy is above all alert to detours.
There's nothing you can do to force a vigilant tactic.
"Yeah, well, war can be won mostly if they do what they don't like."
"Use salutation for Master Agil!!
Watch Leoporto listening to Celia and Tristan's little play.
He nods and gives orders to everyone.
"The attack is front, the bow cavalry collapses front with intensive fire. There won't be any cavalry left in the enemy, but if you come out, make it your top priority. Infantry forces attack the front under cover."
It's simple, but difficult, because archers advance infantry as they release arrows from behind, if they're less skilled, they shoot their allies with accidental fire.
If that happens, infantry moving forward won't be able to fight properly because of their back concerns.
It takes the infantry's courage to fight enemies without worrying about their backs, believing in the skill and allies of archers who release arrows into bows and drop them accurately into enemy formations only.
Both of them were in my army.
"Assault!!
First, a bow cavalry advances toward the front of the enemy formation.
The 4,000 bow cavalry that raises the earthen smoke and advances will also have the effect of lowering the morale of the enemy.
"Defense! Form a line against the cavalry!
Enemy troops, of course, try to defend themselves by arranging long spears to allow assault.
The enemy must have just got a brilliant army at the front, the soldiers had metal armor wrapped around them and they were in motion.
"All units shut down, fire three companies!
The bow cavalry makes a sudden stop and sees three shots in a row at a great speed.
Spears held by the Long Spear Squad are long and heavy as the name suggests, so you cannot hold a shield.
A simple large shield was placed on the ground to protect them, but for the people of the mountain who had used bows since childhood, there was no such thing as aiming and shooting the body sticking out of the shield.
"Around!" "Around!
"That's accurate! Hide in the shield!!
Occasionally many enemies fall and fall, and those who remain manage to hide behind their shields, so the formation keeps messing up.
"You can storm the cavalry here."
"I guess that would still be good if we didn't have left and right wings yet"
Tell Leopold I know and then give him instructions.
At the same time, the infantry squad started the assault with a shout, and the bow cavalry started shooting rainy streaks at the enemy formation by switching the arrows that had been releasing horizontally to a bend.
Infantry squadrons start to push in at once as they clash against the enemy's front line.
You can't stop an infantry in a collapsing long spear squad.
A spear managed to protrude is cut off with a sword, and vice versa, a blade is protruded against his chest.
Further, the Long Spear Squad began to collapse once and for all when a bowgan soldier mixed with the Infantry Squad shot one enemy commander after another shouting.
Though the defense would have to send out infantry immediately to intercept it.
"Damn! The arrows are pouring and you can't move!
"You just set up a shield, you're gonna break the front! Manage to move on, eh!
Even as the infantry squad engages with the front line, the bow cavalry does not hesitate to shoot the aim slightly back.
Because of this, enemy infantry is nailed to the spot with their shields in place, and they can't go for cover.
A brave soldier stood up and inspired him around, but he was instantly killed by an arrow on his face and chest, which turned out to be counterproductive.
"Well, I guess it's about time"
Close the special signs made by Tristan with bird blades across the book.
At the same time, both wings of the enemy began to move to cover the front.
I guess you're going to surround it like it's wrapped up.
"If this one doesn't detour, both wings are rounded up Rangers. You're moving so slow. Come on, we need to take a good look."
Moves to pinch infantry under attack from left to right, but of course Leoporto expected this to happen beforehand.
"Bow Cavalry, I will cut and change target."
Occasionally, the left and right bow cavalry 1000 each switches the target from the front of the enemy to both wings, shooting simultaneously, and raining arrows at the moving enemy soldiers.
Tristan's eyes to observe seemed only serious for a moment, but soon he returned to his loose saggy eyes again.
It's unusual for a guy to look so far out of his mind on the battlefield.
"You have a weak left wing. That's a terrible collection."
Tristan apparently saw the enemy army as about 5,000 relatively highly skilled troops based on their experience of fighting at the border fortress.
"The enemies in the front 5000 right now are obviously highly skilled. Then I guess the two wings say 5,000 is relatively inferior to the level of proficiency and 5,000 more terrible troops replenished on the road."
The simultaneous shooting of a bow cavalry did not only delay the attack from left to right, but also had the purpose of measuring the morale and proficiency of the enemy by launching an attack.
"Spear cavalry and escort follow me into the right wing. Tell the marines to hit the left flank."
I see Leoporto saying that's okay.
"Even if the Horse Army is torn, it is assumed. I'll take care of it, so no problem."
He's totally heartless.
They're working hard, too.
"Fine then. Assault, go on."
Assaulting spear cavalry, running through its center is a heavily armed convoy.
The enemy's right wing should be gathering long spear squads outside to stop the siege.
If you try to slip through the sides of a bow cavalry and attack from the inside, it's hard to hold the cavalry back.
The front of the enemy that should interfere with the movement will not be able to turn a blind eye to this one in the middle of a death fight with the infantry.
"We're going in and we're going to scratch it. Think of it as a meat stick that offends a beautiful woman!
"" Ooooo!
"I'll do it!" "I'll flashly tide you!
"Uh..."
Only Celia looked subtle among the men screaming.
You don't have to take this seriously.
Look at Iridina, you're mixing with a guy and screaming, "I'm gonna punch you in the ass".
Finally, the enemy is approaching, and the allies mount spears and ride faster and faster.
The enemy soldiers seem to be rushing to do something about the formation, but they won't make it.
The assault succeeds and the enemy's right wing collapses.
It was when I was so sure.
"Whoa!" "Oops!" "Hey, what!!
The confused voices of our allies and the unprecedented wavering of the earth.
"Ko, this is huge" "Can you stand up!
The foot of the assault stops altogether, and some fall horse.
Even Schwartz had to spread his legs on the spot to withstand the shake.
This is not good.
The shake lasts for about 30 seconds with plenty of sway.
But the horses were confused by an inexperienced shake, and the line became a mess.
Besides, it was precisely then that the assault took place, so we stopped suddenly in front of the enemy.
"Yes, now is a good time -!!
An enemy commander screams and, conversely, an enemy cavalry rushes this way.
They were less confused when they stopped and defended.
"Chi... we're going back here once. Give me directions!
"Yes!!
I'll put Celia in command and I'll have the spear back to intercept the imminent enemy.
Schwartz isn't the kind of soft guy who gets upset forever after the shake stops either.
"Come on."
"Wow!!
Swing a spear at an enemy soldier coming straight in from the front.
But things are not right.
"Hey, why are you sticking around with your back sprinkled? Lick me..."
An enemy soldier rushes over here with his back turned.
I thought you were making fun of me, but I couldn't move my face, either, where I followed my gaze.
Me and the enemy cavalry cross, spear powerless with Kang, then stop on the spot and look at each other.
"What the hell?
"I don't know... I've never even seen it."
The enemy and I watched the sight as we lined up the horses.
The surrounding enemy allies must have also stopped engaging, I can't hear metal noises or screams.
I can't help it.
"Mount Dard blew up...?
The top of Mount Dard exploded, saying it would be thousands of meters, and there was so much smoke up there that it could not be represented by words such as huge... no, huge, etc.
And it was the moment when everyone saw the mountain.
"Duh!!" "Around!!
I hear a roar like I got hit in the head.
It's a tremendously loud volume with a different dimension than the sound of a cannon.
A moment of agitation Schwartz manages to rebuild, but the horse of the enemy cavalry he was with shakes off the rider and runs away.
I'll just reach out and wake you up.
It's not a very fighting atmosphere anymore.
The sound came rather late from the explosion of the mountain... there are so many things I don't know.
"Look... it's cleared up"
"God... calm your anger..."
The weather was clear today but it was a cloudy day.
But because of the current roar, clouds are blowing up around Mount Dard.
Is the center of the explosion the summit of the mountain or something like a bright red fire column rising?
It doesn't look very blurred, but it also looks like the shape of the mountain has changed.
"Chieftain."
"Master Eigil."
"Ki, I'm sure you'll be fine!
"Are you all right?"
Pipi and Celia, and even Irigina, come by with frightened voices.
If you look at it, the battle completely stops, whether on the left wing or in the front, just looking up at the mountain without distinction of the enemy allies.
"Awesome sound...... I thought my ear would break"
Pipi is holding his ear and shaking his head.
I'm still not feeling well, either.
It's supposed to be 50 km away from here to the mountains.
"Awesome smoke... how far will it go"
"The mountain is gone."
Celia and Irigina cling to their arms.
"Summarize the whole thing for now. The battle... seems impossible"
Both his enemies and allies were shoulder-to-shoulder, keeping their weapons and mouths wide open.
"They seem to think the same thing."
Several rides of enemies advance from the stopped front of the battle.
It would be an enemy general to think of just fine, but I don't give a shit about both enemy allies.
I didn't expect this to happen with the intention of annihilating our enemies...
Well, we'll be fine.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
At the same time, the King's capital, Goldonia.
"My king, the conflict with Vandrea in the southern region, Sir Hardlett, is hitting on his own. I think we should send the Royal Army..."
Eirich advances in front of the king to make a request for a march he doesn't know how many times.
But the answer was the same.
"Not necessary, aren't we talking about pushing it back already? Instead, tell Sir Hardlett not to expand the battle any further."
Eirich only says it again with a sinister face.
"But the battle is overwhelmingly in Lord Hardlett's favor, and if we send reinforcements now, we can absorb Vandrea together..."
"Terrible!! Then no!"
The king slaps the table with Don.
Neither can Eirich say anything more.
Kenneth walks over to the king, smiling with no expression but with his heart when he sees his rival reprimanded.
"It is foolish to hit with force. I thought it would be best to hit here with a plan and cut off the territory without pulling over..."
But when the king shifts his gaze to Kenneth, he yells in a harsh tone.
"Don't you see what I'm saying about not needing one of those?!? You don't have to interfere in the south!
"This is too much..."
Kenneth also shushes in the face of unexpected reprimands.
Has the king had a cup of tea to calm his feelings, at least on the surface, quenching his anger and returning to a calm and calm tone?
"Our country has expanded too rapidly. What do you do when you say you have as many enemies in the country as you want?"
"Domestic enemies...... is it?
Eirich twists his neck.
Imagine some, but I can't think of any.
There seems to be frequent insurgency in the former Magrad area, but it's as originally planned, and they're all being held back.
Is Kenneth the same again? Eirich and I looked at each other and silenced.
"The enemy is even on the other side. Have you forgotten about the knight?"
"Oh, that case..." "My name is Knight Individual Infidelity..."
What the king says is that one of the Kingsguard knights who serves as an escort screams and rumbles at the town liquor store for low pay, and that happens to be the incident that got into the king's ear.
Obviously the sagging knight did it from the booze momentum, but the king executed the knight and the entire clan as a rebellion plan.
"The knight was not very resourceful, and he could not possibly have done such a great thing as rebellion."
"Exactly, it was someone who used it because he wasn't smart. The big guy who moved him must be behind it. We're looking at the rest of the assassination."
Eirich says it is the deed of an individual foolish knight, but the king does not accept it.
"We also thoroughly investigated the background relationship, but without any particular trace. How was the intelligence officer?
"I said there was nothing. If Kenneth isn't the only one who can't hang on the net of the rest of the intelligence officers, there must be a fairly mindless person moving. You have to be careful."
Kenneth also tells him that he has no background, but the king won't listen.
"Now is the time to exorcise the internal illness and stabilize national politics. We don't have time for a foreign war. We just have to maintain the status quo properly."
"" Ha... ha ""
Eirich and Kenneth stand side by side with a loose voice between them.
When the king was finished, he approached Eilich and turned his ear to him.
"Kenneth is good at touring measures. Conspiracy is his specialty, let him know as soon as there's a disturbing move."
Then the king approaches Kenneth next.
"Eirich holds the army. You'd think if you rebelled, you could take the rest away quickly. Always be on guard."
And the king ordered the two of them to disperse.
The king returns to his chambers loosening his harsh expression.
The footprint was light, as if skipping.
"Sire, good work today"
"Oh, Rosario, I'm sorry to keep you waiting"
In the king's chamber there was a woman lying flat with her head on the floor.
The king holds up a woman and kisses her hard.
"Oh, Your Majesty... if you do that, Rosario will die"
"Don't say that. If you die, the rest will die of loneliness."
The king stops kissing and hugs Rosario all the time.
"I've talked to the rest of the heavy towns, and they can't believe the rest of the story. The threat is imminent..."
"Rosario is not as ignorant as his wise majesty, so I don't know how difficult it is."
The king loosens his difficult face and takes the woman to bed.
"Those are cute. You're the only one I can trust unconditionally. Now let's love each other."
"Plenty of adoration tonight, Your Majesty..."
The woman exaggerates at the king's forceful attack.
The moment the king's delicacy entered the womb, etc., reacted to the extent that it seemed to be an extinct demon.
"Your Majesty's things are so awesome... they're going to die!
"That was honest and cute! You don't have to know anything. There's more... there's more to protect!
Eventually the king ends, falling into bed and resting.
Rosario kept gently stroking her head like her mother as she looked down at her head with cold eyes.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
For the record, look for the killer.
Me and the women relaxing in the living room.
Those who enjoy tea and confectionery, those who love children, those who read books quietly, those who make noise when they come from, and Iridina who keep eating whole roasted meat.
Everyone was enjoying a peaceful time.
But calm time is broken by outrageous barbarism.
psub pipipi
It sounded like air, not loud but surely loud enough for everyone to hear.
……
Everyone's time stops as soon as possible.
Those who were noisy also stopped moving, and the hand stretched out to Nonna's cup dropped back without grabbing anything.
The only thing that kept moving was Iridina.
They're all like, "Who?" and moving his gaze.
But I can't tell you, I'm afraid everyone will be dressed in wet, farting clothes in front of me.
I avoid being the first to talk about it.
Eventually, little by little, everyone moves back out.
Yeah, you just have to do something you didn't realize.
So peace returns...... it was supposed to.
"Gu..."
This stinks, something stinks like rot.
This stinking fart is hard to come by.
"... uh already! Kusa no!! Who!!
Finally, Carla, who couldn't bear it, yelled, and things came out bright.
"It's not me."
Drink tea as if Nonna denied it first and nothing happened.
But the smell or the eyebrows stay close.
"It's not even me!
Celia also comes to me with a voice.
All right, all right, that's not you.
Is there a woman around here who has a particularly strong claim?
"Moms don't suck, do they?"
"No." "Damn it."
Mel and Maria are suing their innocence while letting their children play.
And the search for the killer began.
"Aren't you Mr. Yogri? It stinks like that."
"Chi, no! One way or the other..."
"What? Me too!?
"It's the wind that stinks so much... I mean the guy on the door..."
"It's not like that! I'm not gonna lie to you!
One fart doesn't make my family uncomfortable.
"Sorry, it's me."
This way we'll have a problem.
The killers are more women than I am.
I guess you can't just admit it.
"But it's already nasty, Master Agil."
"Well, if you're Mr. Agil..."
This will fit round.
"I'm not convinced!
But Celia will smash it.
"I was beside Master Agil, but the smell came after your faces were warped! You can't just push Master Agil to finish it!
I'm glad it feels good, but it's extra... even though it almost fits in a circle.
Women who say they bother again.
"Here comes the smell from you! Aren't you Mr. Katrine!
"What do you say? These things are as loud as the killer."
The staring women, they really don't give a shit.
How did it work out?
"Ha, you stink. They're delicious and smelly!
I keep eating meat because I don't know about the noise or anything, Iridina, okay, this guy doesn't seem to mind.
"Irigina, you're the one who farted"
"What!? I didn't."
Gently whisper as you stroke the big irigina.
"Your ass has sprayed its farts unknowingly. Don't worry, it's for everyone."
"... well, is that so? Sorry! Looks like my ass sprayed a fart on its own!
I'm sorry, Irigina, but you wouldn't blame anyone around you.
Don't drink with me later.
"Mr. Irigina could do it."
"You have no choice."
The women gather their spears again.
"I'm not convinced!
Now it was Myra if you think who it was.
"I'm well with Mr. Irigina, but you'll soon find out because hers is so loud that it interrupts the conversation!
"That's it..."
"Mr. Irigina, a little discretion..."
"No, Myra, this is the place."
"No, tailoring an innocent person to the killer is unacceptable, such as solving it. We should only find the real killer!
Yeah, Myra had this personality.
Because of this, the security forces have a reputation for being too strict.
"Now let's see what you guys have to say!!
Enough, do as you please.
I don't know who came.
Afterwards, despite Myra's rigorous investigation, the case went into a labyrinth without a fart ever being caught.
Speaking of which, you don't have Casey who's always making a fuss at times like this.
I was just eating something while I was on the lookout for Irigina.
If you look, the maids are on fire in the garden.
"I'm baking potatoes."
"I baked ten bottles... I'm missing one. That's funny. Nobody came."
"Didn't the Spirit of the Mansion take it? See, we run out of food often, don't we? Especially pumpkins."
Some strange stories.
