Price of Management

“Commander, it's Brownwood. ”

Balac, the first platoon commander who was running with him, said: Patrick nods. Patrick gestures to stop.

Condol Cavalry speeding through the plains stops advancing at the entrance of the forest.

“Commander, your mercenaries are getting tougher in the forest. We may have to find another way. ”

Daltan, commander of the Second Fleet, commented.

Patrick had already thought about it.

“Choose 50 good swordsmen and 50 good bowmen. He will come down from the horse and penetrate the forest with me. ”

“You speak for yourself? ”

“Yes. I will set fire to the forest, raid the Orcs, and then retreat." If they come after us and show themselves out of the woods, they'll be devastated. ”

“Yes, our three regiments will be ambushed from each side. ”

Geden, commander of the Third Fleet, said. Patrick nods.

Later, the best swordsmen in the three regiments and the best archers were drawn by 50.

Patrick, who was looking around them, suddenly found an eye-catching member.

He was now a 15-year-old nomadic boy who appeared to have just had a ceremony. It was also a custom of the Wind clan, and according to the custom of the Kingdom of Leaden, he was not yet an adult.

“What are you? ”

When Patrick asked, the boy answered vigorously.

“I'm Balter! She is only 15 years old, but she is confident that sword and courage will not be defeated by anyone! ”

Patrick is curious about that, and he tries to maximize his senses with error. I could feel that the boy's error hall was weak, but that the error was in place.

“Are you here to see me? Looks like you just came to visit. ”

“Yes, it is! ”

Then came Balac, first platoon commander.

“Hey…… Commander. ”

“What's going on? ”

“This is my son. ”

Balac scratches his head and says, Patrick looks surprised.

“Have you ever had a son this mature? You had no idea. I'm sorry."

“You're welcome. Not because he's my son, but because he's clearly expecting a talented swordsman." Other than that, bows and slings are flawed. ”

Patrick was convinced just then.

Surely the son of Balac, who was once the third greatest warrior of the tribe of nomads, could be talented.

“Good. Did you say Valter? ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“I look forward to today's performance. ”

“Thank you! I'll make sure I meet your expectations. ”

Patrick taps Balter on the shoulder.

‘If you have a different talent, I'll have to think about teaching you how to use a sword myself. I still don't have enough relationships to have a disciple. ’

In retrospect, the Orient Royal Era Master Britain boasted for a short time, but he gave himself an important lesson in courtesy.

Patrick thought it was okay to teach others, too.

That day, the subjugation of the Orcs in Brownwood was a success.

Patrick and 100 of his chosen men have infiltrated the forest and ambushed the Orc quarter. With a sudden rise to Excellence Express, Patrick slaughtered the Orcs and set the fire and retreated.

The Orcs were furious as the territorial invasion burned to the ground. The Orcs light their eyes and go after Patrick's group. And as soon as I came out of the woods, the Condol Cavalry attacked from all sides.

The lower power of the Condol Cavalry is in addition to maneuverability. Three thousand men shot their bows at the horses, and the rainy arrows wiped out the Orcs in an instant.

Patrick led 100 chosen men back into the forest and finished the subjugation by eliminating the remnants of the Orc tribe and the females and cubs.

“Rest here today and move on from tomorrow. I'm sure everyone will be very disappointed.Next time, I'll give you a proper fight. Today's victory, well done! ”

“Whoa!”

The nomads cheered and celebrated their victory.

There was no need to set up camp. They all lit a fire and fell asleep in their sleeping bags on the ground. Patrick was no exception, but after hanging out with them for a long time, he became familiar with the nomadic customs.

The next day, as soon as it was sunny, they left immediately.

The Kondol Cavalry was very demoralizing because there were a lot of eager boys who had just joined the military after the adult ceremony. The Brownwood Orc subjugation has never been done properly, so she quickly wants to slaughter her enemies and become a true warrior.

The Condol Cavalry quickly reaches the wasteland where Giant Ants live.

Ants are strong enough to lift up to several times their own size and move fast. The expansion of such ants was a Giant Ant, not to mention the danger.

Luckily, the Giant Treant's reproductive power is not as strong as an ant, so there are few dogs.

Nevertheless, there were hundreds of Giant Ants led by the Giant Ant Queen, so their habitat was a dangerous land.

Patrick gives the order.

“The 1st regiment is bait and lures them, and the 2nd and 3rd regiments work side by side. Fights with ranged attack to make it dangerous to get close. ”

“Old!”

The three regiment leaders replied.

The 2nd and 3rd regiments stood on the left and right, respectively, and the 1st regiment moved to attract the Giant Ants. Patrick has decided to move in with the First Regiment.

Soon the operation began.

Patrick sprints with the 1st regiment. With a thousand horsemen running in unison, the hoofbeats seemed to shake the ground.

Giant Ants quickly reveal themselves as enemies appear on their territory. More than 50 of them appeared to be satisfied on all sides.

“Take the shot!”

The 1st regiment pauses and fires its bow. The arrows pierce the hide of the Giant Ants. However, the Giant Ants are tenacious in life, so one or two arrows do not kill them. Moreover, there were so many numbers that the distance was quickly narrowed.

“Fall back!"

Patrick quickly ordered a retreat. He slashes the nearest Giant Ants with an error. Bastard Sword, frozen by Patrick's presence, chops everything to pieces.

After pulling back like that, we lured the Giants, and the 2nd and 3rd regiments appeared from the left and right, following the operation. As the arrows spill in both directions, the fallen Giant Ants protrude.

Only then did the Giant Ants change their target to the 2nd and 3rd regiments, but this time the 1st regiment turned their horses and went into a counterattack.

As the numbers plummet, Patrick makes his final assault order.

Patrick lunges ahead and rumbles in the middle of the Giant Ants. The men who were encouraged by the commander's dance also fought with excitement.

The fight returned to the battlefield of the Condol Cavalry and only a few dozen casualties were injured. The Condol Cavalry must then find the Giant Treant's Den and burn it to the ground before it can be subdued.

Given the Giant Ants' dangers, it was a complete victory, just like a lie.

* * *

The Condol Cavalry defeated the monsters with a terrifying force.

Riding fast, you subdue the monsters. After the fight, you continue on to the next location without stopping.

Despite the overwhelming force, the members of the Condol Cavalry remain motionless. The wandering nomadic warriors were hungry for a fight.

It has been ten days since the beginning of the subjugation.

After returning to the site of the Expansion to the North, Patrick smiled and said to Baron Brandon, Head of Construction.

“You're back early. You've wiped out all the monsters in the construction route. You can rest assured now. ”

“Well, is that true? It's only been a month and ten days. ”

“Yes, it was easier than I thought. ”

I had to stare at Baron Bran, smiling confidently.

Since that day, the reputation of the Condol Cavalry has spread to the Kingdom of Leaden.
