Episode 546: The Road to the Kingdom ③ The Enemy Is Right In Front of You
Cross the hill, cross the river, drop the bridge and burn down the town to proceed.
It's usually a long way to go to Wangdu while singing even a nose song.
Bow cavalry joined from the rear and the strength increased at once.
Only a group of mountain people who are not enough equipment to be carriers of infantry are not chasing them.
However, if the number of cavalry troops is increased, they will slow down.
"We're 20% behind schedule. There is also a choice to abandon the tenacious leaves and water."
"This kind of delay is within the margin of error. Supplies should not be thrown away for the people of the mountain and the infantry units that rendezvous from behind. … but there is another choice."
Leopold and Tristan look at me.
Myra also sends a glance with a negative troubled face.
"You don't have to throw it away yet. I don't mind looting, but it'll take extra time."
Relieved Myra.
Iridina just came to me when I heard it was looting.
When I gave him the boiled egg, he left satisfied.
"Then, assuming the delay in the march, the time of arrival in the King's capital - enemy discovery."
Harpy came back screaming something.
"Pee! Aaaaaaaaaa ochre! Akaa Genai de Croa Onai!"
If it's an armed group, it's a red flag, if it's unarmed, it's a blue flag, and if I even noticed this one, the black flag and Leoporto decided, but I can't possibly remember it, and I'm waving it all.
Let's just say 'there's something' and thank you.
"Cease march. Wait till you're dead."
Look around and run Schwartz toward a slightly higher platform.
Celia and Leoporto followed me from behind.
Climb onto the platform and gaze.
It was definitely the army that would go on then.
"You're heavily armed for internal security. Soldiers are about 300 for infantry alone. The knights lead every small group, not the Royal Army, but the local Lords' Army."
I feel like Leopold's voice is mixed with the color of relief. I don't know the tone.
"Mmm. I don't know what that means. Too many coincidences, too few to crusade us."
Celia twisted her neck, but I kind of get it.
Tristan, who chased him before opening his mouth, explains it first.
"Uh, first of all, those who saw the tragedy in Saraed rush back to the king's capital. But you can't go as far as the King's Capital in a breath, so replenish the horses and water with the Lord's land on the road. A strangeness is passed on to the lord."
I'll take over.
"Without hearing the details, I jump out with soldiers trying to rescue them by only hearing 'The Mission Matters'. There are a lot of guys who want to think about the rest during the march. Someone from the new aristocracy... you're a pig."
"That flag... is indeed the flag of the Earl of Oyrne"
It's like I've never heard of it.
"It's the basin we're in, so you're not looking through. They don't know what's going on and they're just going south without a scourge. It's not impossible if you want to do it over..."
On the foot of the infantry, it would take hours to pass.
"Time is precious."
"At least not more than their lives."
Leoporto matches my words and Myra squeaks bossly as she breathes only.
"Let them retreat in negotiations. Or I think there's a way to surrender..."
I shake my head.
"It's also a waste of time to persuade. Bring the bow cavalry forward."
A bow cavalry awaits my instructions.
"Hey, hey, here comes the enemy, right? We started a rebellion, which means the enemy..."
"Don't say it! It confuses my mind when I say it. Just look at the lord's back... I only look at Celia's legs"
I give orders with a voice that leaks slightly upset voices on my butt.
"Forward, rise to the hill"
At the same time as the order, the bow cavalry runs up the hill all at once, keeping the sidelines.
"Cavalry formation on the hill ahead! Hundreds more!! He showed up suddenly!
"No way, Barbarians. - No, I see the flag! It's the flag of the Hardlett Borderline Uncle."
Count Oyrne Soldier...... The enemy soldier looks blatantly relieved.
After all, the details of the matter still do not appear to have been communicated.
"I heard about the Saraed raid and ran. I want you to let me know if you have any information. If there's anything I can do, I can help."
A person who looks like the Count himself waves at me and calls me.
"I'm sorry to guess, but he's a good guy. I'm sorry."
I wave down towards the Count.
Without putting a second between them, hundreds of bow cavalry freed a string of thoughtfully squeezed synthetic bows.
Surprise, altitude, sufficient time to set a goal, overwhelming skill.
…………
Just a single shot.
Eighty percent of the enemy soldiers were killed when Myra turned away.
"- Assault"
Before the scream was over, the bow cavalry ran down the hill.
A bow cavalry that is not meant for melee combat, but the enemy is already close to destruction.
Three seconds after the start, it was annihilated by the simultaneous shooting of a bow.
"The march resumes. No need for battle formation."
Leoporto makes the march resume.
The time lost is five or ten minutes, is that the value of their lives?
"Hey, do what! Wow, I'm an oin! Together we serve His Majesty and Lord Radharde!
No arrows seemed to strike the Count himself, happy or unhappy.
He comes calling desperately as he sees a devastated militia in an instant.
I'll kick Schwartz in the stomach and make him move on.
"It's futile."
Ignore Leopold and stand before the Count.
The Count screams with a confused look even when he looks at me.
"Sir Hardlett!? I need you in person. What does this mean? They're not gonna tell me you mistook my face for a barbarian! Whenever you want to compare drinks across Sir Radharde..."
I remembered. This guy had been in several conversations with Eirich.
I hear you have a martial arts talent, but you moaned that you had a bad guess and a rush to swine.
It was amazing when a perverted play with oil that could be picked in the realm imitated Nonna in both hobbies and rumors.
I kill my expression as much as I can. I look down at the Count with a face like Leopold.
"Don't you see?
"Stop the attack immediately..."
Nearly 10,000 cavalry, bow cavalry, carriage troops and even tanks and field artillery appear across the hill.
"No way, treason -!!"
I laughed unexpectedly.
"It's too bad to guess. Eirich will mourn."
Get off the horse as I say, and wait with the dual crater in your shoulders.
I dropped my shoulder again to the Count of Pocan.
"I shot an arrow in the face of the same Goldonian aristocrat, the new aristocrat. What more do you say we talk about... out"
I don't even know his face. I felt sorry to kill him like a miscellaneous soldier, so I waited for him, but I'm really not guessing.
Uncle Oiln just gets upset and looks around, but few guys, such as him, already survive.
"- It would be good. I don't know what's going on, but Lord Hardlett has already become an enemy... if only I were a martial artist with a sword."
The oil is about 120-30 cm in length, with a two-handed sword slightly smaller than the dual crater.
"I'm coming! Ha!!
Full swing from unhesitant stepping in.
If it's made of steel, it would have nearly 10 kg. The sword makes a wind-cut noise and falls.
Fast, and sharp.
I never fought shoulder to shoulder, but I see it would be true to say I excel in martial arts.
I shook up the dual crater as I looked into the eyes of Oil wrapped around the mood of tearing, wrapping my sword down and his neck together and breaking it.
The man's eyes change from surprise to convincing, losing light.
"Swing it down from the top of the swing..."
"I can do it because the speed and power are so many times different... I'm not dealing with them"
Myra and Celia mutter.
I pick up my rolling neck and throw it to Leopold.
"We don't have time to bury him, but bury him somewhere we'll find out later. Oil play is still my favorite."
"It's extra labor and danger. I was wondering if I should skip the waste."
Leoporto receives his neck and says with no expression.
It's a face that hasn't changed as much as I can tell which one is talking.
"It's not even this hassle. You did what you wanted, so let me do this, too."
Jump on Schwartz and look after a ravaging play that can't even be called a battlefield.
"Other soldiers will have to be left alone."
Did you smell the smell in the sky? A large crow was beginning to gather.
"Meshi! Meshi Ippai"
"Kusai! Katai! Pea!"
Harpy, you can't eat a crow.
"This is treason, isn't it? All my allies have been enemies..."
Did Myra decide to be ready, she looked kind of bad and gave her face.
I'm a little excited about being like a brainwashed knight.
"I just follow Master Agil everywhere. I'm not lost."
He wears a hat backwards, wraps a dirty cloth around it, and bites something like a patterned evil.
So this is Celia's rebel image.
Let go of the overly cheap Iridina with a bowl roll that says' Treason '.
We go further north.
As we head north, larger towns will also pass.
"We can't afford to siege. Surrender, or you can set fire to it and leave it alone."
There is no need for Leopold to tell me, and there is no hesitation in coming here.
It was salvation because my troops were overwhelming, or the little nobles, deputies, etc. had lost their will to fight from the start.
Some towns closed the gates to show resistance only in form, but after splashing the fire arrows two or three degrees, the white flag would rise.
"Because if you don't just resist the shape, it'll be terrible later. I honestly don't think the kingdom will lose. I mean, if this one plays a fight and loses, they'll just pop right out the back."
is Tristan's valve.
The heavily equipped Knights of the Kingdom finally emerge with a day remaining until the King's capital, Goldonia.
"Royal Seal on the Kingdom Flag. Definitely the Knights of the Kingdom."
Leoporto says calmly.
The number is unknown, but a thousand or so.
"It would be perfect if you knew about this rebellion and the march and thought you'd jumped out of the king's capital."
Tristan also says calmly again.
The knight of the kingdom is a thousand and this one is about eight thousand.
Normally, it's reckless to set it up.
"No, they're coming. Take a fighting stance."
The Kingdom Knight is taking a triangular formation.
This is an assault formation in which heavy cavalry penetrates enemies.
"Assault -!!"
The captain's sword is pointed this way with his brave voice, and he storms with his voice.
What a squeamish the sound of a horseshoe standing by a heavy-duty cavalry.
"This is interesting inside when you're on the receiving side"
This one was in a hurry to march for convenience, the distance between the beginning and the ensuing is really empty.
Did you see a winning chance if you stepped through a thinned line?
"It's not that easy."
Thousands of fierce arrows rain from the bow cavalry.
They are archers on board, so as long as they are through the rays, they can make an effective attack regardless of the formation or whatever.
How can a kingdom knight have a big shield that covers his entire body when riding with heavy equipment?
If an arrow hits an indefensible location such as a gap in the armor or a foot joint of a horse, it will fall apart.
"That's why I made it."
Then a field cannon erupted, sparks scattered from the knight's body for a moment.
Unlike siege cannons, field guns have a short range, but can take very short time from deployment to shooting.
It is not a lapse on the part of the knights of the kingdom who did not alert the cannons in the encounter.
Long Spear Squad, deployments are complete.
An arrow and a cannonball line up in front of a knight diving through them.
An infantry disembarked from the carriage formed a line against the cavalry.
Whether you thought of the carriage herd as a heavy squad, the enemy who tried to break through aiming at it was killed momentum by a forest of long spears, making it the worst development for a cavalry who would be sniped with a crossbow where they stopped their legs.
"Withdrawal - all units withdrawn -!!"
Once again, the captain screams, and the knight of the kingdom, halfway through the slightest battle, flees back to the king's capital.
"It's a complete victory!
After Celia was cute and happy, she realized haha and gave her a nasty roar back.
Aren't you with the rebels and the bandits? Pretty, though.
Leoporto and Tristan, on the other hand, entangle a subtle atmosphere.
It was a beautiful retreat.
"That's right. I've bothered to spread to the side and hit it, even though there's only one hope for a breakthrough in the situation. It's like he wanted to deal with all of our troops. It's a power recon."
I have no particular doubts either.
A kingdom knight is a soldier belonging to the kingdom, that is, it is supposed to be Eirich who is moving it.
"I was given a chance to find out how powerful this battle is. I'll take care of it next time, I'm sure."
"Still, there's only a way forward"
The first battle is over and the peasants nearby, who were hiding, sneak up on their faces.
I get depressed when I see that we're the ones left.
"I thought the war era was finally over and my son was back... can we always be abused"
I look in the direction of my voice.
I don't slaughter peasants who scream but don't get in the way.
"If I win, it'll be over. There will be no one to turn against."
"Hino, no..."
Now it's decided to look good. It would have been just fine.
"I can't believe Sir Hardlett is so horrible no longer on my side...... Ah!!
Metal sounds overlapping trembling voices and rough footsteps.
"Rebels bowing to the kingdom! Decay with my sword of honor but good!!
Is the knight who jumped out of among the peasants the protector of this countryside?
Stick out your sword looking at your neck as you advance.
"Hmm."
Just before the cutouts arrive, I move half a step to the right to deflect the poke.
"Gone! Is that witchcraft?
"You're just too late. Aim for the torso if you're bad at it."
I sink a dual crater from the top of my armor into the knight's torso, shaking it up and flying it into the sky.
"Ah! Nik, Niku!
Make Harpy stop trying to grab the knight.
How about eating it in pieces in front of the people no matter how bad it is.
"Tukareta! Yasmu!
"Mizkrenikkre!
I've stopped on both shoulders. I stroke Harpy's head.
"Ha, harpy! How could a man-eater monster..."
"Hey, look up!!
When the peasants looked at the sky, dozens of harpies were swirling around to surround me.
"" Demon King... "
The peasants who have pushed me so hard to shut up.
I don't mean to, but if you're so scared, you won't even think about weird things, and it might be good.
It's only after everything is over that I can solve the misunderstanding.
"You look great."
"I'm a villain, though. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh... kukukukukuku"
I look at Myra sarcastically.
The pattern and skin wear of the armor have changed to toxic colors such as black and red.
Slightly more exposed, his eyes bearing strange light and licking his lips with a luscious expression.
I think this guy's misinterpreting the rebels, too.
The attack did not come at the end of the day.
The last yang falls to the Wang capital.
"All units rest. I don't need a watch."
Rest all soldiers in view of the fatigue of the march and battle so far.
The bonfire may also be extinguished.
"We're supposed to be in the middle of the enemy, but we're going to keep at least half of them awake for night raids."
"If you can attack a vampire opponent at night, you can try it"
Brunhilde's subordination is happening instead of soldiers.
Helpless before them no matter how long they line up the nocturnal ones.
Until now, there are vampires of grandeur, so I can't say it's okay, but I have nothing to hide anymore.
I can't even afford that.
A hundred people have been brought here for the first time.
It's like riding a dinner table from yourself in a hundred or two hundred small night raids.
"Oh, dinner's here."
I washed Celia's face with a wet towel and then gazed at her.
"No, I don't suppose there's anyone coming from the front at night with a pine light"
Show the fangs and confirm. Tell Brunhilde it's good to go through.
I got bit for some reason.
I don't know anything. He walks in the dark.
"Wow!
Brunhilde grabs that collar and throws it at me.
"Sir Hardlett!
"Hey."
He's only a 14,5 boy if you look at him.
Plus, I'm neutral on my face, and I think I should be told to hide my front and dig it -.
"What to say"
"Please don't ask yourself that because it's confusing"
Don't cool it all at once when Leopold tells you to do it in the face.
"I have top secret news. The Lord cannot say when he is dead."
The boy sticks his hand in his mouth and drags out a stringed parchment as he makes the sound of spitting it back again and again.
"I'm sorry it's dirty. You can't be seen by anyone else."
The paper spread while washing was certainly written in a familiar handwriting.
"The Royal Army, under the Military Inspector General, has already been militarized by two regiments. Including the Wang Du Defense Corps, it is in a 45,000 battle posture. Thirty thousand more the day after tomorrow, thirty thousand of the extraordinary formation will be battled in a week... Wow, you're hit."
Tristan closes his eyes and looks up to heaven.
This is about 1200 for a horseman with a bow cavalry of 6000 and a carriage infantry and infantry coming from behind. A quarter of the attacking side is a little harsh.
"Continue. None of them have troops poking at the rear of your army and Rafen. Fan to the Liberty people, the Federation Residual Fleet, the Altair Order, Ares. Brilliant."
Me and Leopold face each other.
"Ares?"
"I have no idea"
I guess I did something that doesn't make sense again this time because they're the ones that don't make sense in the first place. Let's throw it away.
"Okay, I'm in this"
Grab the shoulder of a boy trying to leave.
"Ahem."
Don't make strange noises.
You're weird because you look good.
"Why did you tell me?
The sender saw the handwriting. Okay, so you don't have to ask.
The problem is the reason.
"- It was called insurance."
I laugh and release the letter.
"I see. Am I insured? This is good."
Sure is a problem in case it happens as far as I'm concerned.
Then it is possible from her eyes.
"So now..."
Grab the boy's shoulder again trying to leave.
"Ahem."
That's why I told you to stop that colorful voice.
"At the end of the day... you must not be Rebecca's mistress"
"Hey, I can't answer anything!
You mean the sender? Or mistress, you're sick of it!
"I thought this was a waste of time any more. If the sender is certain, it will increase the reliability of the information. We need to reconsider our tactics."
I'll leave that up to you. Tell me later.
"Excuse me!
The boy runs away.
"Are you gonna insert it into Rebecca, or is Rebecca gonna insert it into you! Does Rebecca like to insert it into a man? Which one is it?"
The boy disappears into the dark without answering.
"Hmm."
I keep looking at the darkness with regret.
I wasn't interested in Rebecca's relationship with the boy, nor did I want to dig it.
"Are you ready?"
It must be a very bad situation.
But above all.
"Do you want to fight Eirich"
That's what I knew.
But when it comes to actually confronting you, even when you're ready in your mind, your mind is disturbed.
"Dear Eigil,"
I'm gonna come by gently. I'm gonna stroke Celia around. I'm even gonna forget I'm gonna do it.
"We're going to kill each other with him. That's a nasty road."
I'm talking about Eirich.
You must have covered for me on this one.
Would you have been mad at me for being stupid?
Would I have had trouble holding my head?
I wonder what you looked like when you heard you rebelled.
An indescribable emotion boils down to imagination.
If you can make a detour, just turn.
It should have been a little roundabout.
But there is no other way.
This is the one road that leads to the Kingdom.
Proceed or stop, that's all.
"My heart is disturbed. I'm sorry, too. You might even have pity."
stroke Celia's underjaw.
I didn't say it was gobbly, as usual.
"But I'm never going to stop. I'd be a villain if I got here. I just have to laugh and go kill him."
