Price of Management

When King Leaden evacuated all the people and settled into battle, the Earl of Juden's headquarters appeared.

The number is 70,000.

The number of elite troops that had been trained and practiced for a long time, not recruits, was 70,000.

Earl Juden's forces set up camp in front of the Kingdom of Leaden and began preparing for siege. Each soldier plays his role without playing idly. As the commander of the army to deal with this, he seemed to have nothing to fear.

“I've heard of fame, but they're really elite. ”

King Erik grunts and mutters as he watches it from the rise of the Kingdom of Leaden.

“Not all the Horn Empire soldiers are elite, but a great commander. The Marquis of Jurden is a renowned Master, so he must have trained his troops well for today. ”

At Jeron's words, King Eric nods. The reputation of the Marquis of Juden is well known. He was chosen by Emperor Kars, so he must have excelled.

“Your Majesty, don't you think it would be a good idea for them to launch an ambush before they start building up their seriousness? ”

Earl Graham, the director of the Royal Knights, argued so. It was an unmanned member of the Kingdom of Leaden that boasted the finest of excursions.

“I'm confident our Royal Knights will be able to charge quickly and trample down their seriousness and wreak havoc. ”

For a long time he had not crossed the Master's Wall and had recently emerged from the Kunt family, wanting light, but was still the strongest unmanned Earl Graham within the royal family. I was going to prove under all circumstances that I was still alive for this opportunity.

“You're right, Master. If we keep quiet like this, they might think we're scared, so it might be a good idea to show them a taste of bitterness to alert them. ”

The deputy commander, Earl Randall Spain, has agreed. Angry personality, he prefers to fight proactively rather than remain silent.

“But the enemy is the Marquis of Juden. There's no way I didn't prepare for that. ”

King Erik expressed concern.

Then everyone's gaze focused on the military register, Jeron. Jeron thinks for a moment and opens his mouth.

“It's not going to work very well, but I don't think it's going to hurt to try. ”

Earl Graham and Earl Randall Spay brighten their faces.

“Why is that? ”

Jeron answers King Erik's question.

“The enemy did not have a good fight, but he confronted Duke Meutt and marched straight across the mountains. I don't think it's a bad idea to lightly restrain your enemies when they are too tired. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“Of course, the Marquis of Juden will be prepared for a certain degree, but it won't have much effect. ”

“Don't you worry about being caught by enemy mercenaries who can't take their feet off? ”

“Fortunately, our troops are stationed at the Marquis of Ligand's Manor. You can launch an ambush, then retreat towards the mansion and retreat to the South Gate to stop the enemy's pursuit. That is, of course, assuming that the Marquis of Ligand Manor shoots arrows in line with his allies' movements to repel his enemies. ”

“Who was the commander guarding that mansion? ”

“This is my son, Your Majesty. ”

Earl Randall Spay proudly says.

“My son John, who is young but brilliant, is sure to do what he wants. ”

“Well, your son makes me uneasy. ”

“Your Majesty! ”

King Erik laughs.

“I see. The RoyalKnights will march immediately and show them our resolve. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

“I'll turn them loose! ”

Earl Graham and Earl Randall Spay take orders to prepare for march.

Shortly after, all of the Royal Knights rode out of Leaden Castle on horseback.

Royal Leiden's most powerful unmanned royal knights spill out as soon as the gates are opened.

You've been disoriented by the Horn Empire's faction.

“Father, they're out! Royal Knights.”

“I saw it, too. ”

“The knights of my legion will never be outnumbered by them. Leave it to me and I'll fight them off. ”

Nigel said confidently.

However, the Marquis of Juden shakes his head.

“You don't have to. It is not good to sacrifice the unfortunate UAVs against the Royal Knights when your allies are tired. ”

“ ……. ”

Nigel doesn't make a move anymore because he's right.

Soon, the order of the Marquis of Juden is given. The Horn Empire Soldiers make swift moves. First, the archers pull their arrows together against the bow. As the royal knights approach like a hurricane, a shooting order is issued.

“Take the shot!”

Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh-shh!

The arrows focused on the Royal Knights like rain. But the Royal Knights are the elite knights protecting the Kingdom of Leaden. You strike your arrows with the sword of the orb in unison, and no one is harmed.

Once again, when the Marquis of Juden gives the order, the progress of the Horn Empire is transformed, writhing like a living creature.

The archers retreated and formed a slanted shape in which the bowmen dug a depression in the middle. It was an application mission that was demonstrated when engaging Duke Meutt. A march trained by the Marquis of Juden in preparation for the Conquest War. It was a tactic used against enemies with a powerful unmanned charge.

Earl Graham, the commander of the Royal Knights, recognized it as well.

‘It's a total waste of time. ’

If they tried to break through, the Horn Empire would deploy and besiege them. Although it is a knight representing one country and said to be strong in individual strength, one number was small Royal Knights. If I stopped the spear coming from everywhere while I was trapped in the siege, I would be exhausted.

Earl Graham was not as easy to bear as he intended. The RoyalKnights turn and rush to the enemy's side.

The archers who retreated from the Horn Empire fire their bows again. Arrows spill out, aiming for the Royal Knights, avoiding allies. It was a sight to see how badly they had trained in advance with this situation in mind.

The RoyalKnights hurled all their arrows and crashed into the sides of the Hurtling, Horn Empire.

Kwajik, Kwajik! Screaming!

“Khhh!”

“Ugh!”

The Knights of the Royal Knights have fallen swiftly. However, the Lancer in the back raises a long spear, filling the void of the dead comrade. The long spear of the Horn Empire soldier was good at fending off his enemies with the advantage of the length of the spear.

However, Royal Knights were not a group of unarmed men who would be easily beaten by ordinary soldiers. You cut open the spear and repeatedly slashed the soldiers' throats.

“Aim for the horse! ”

“Kill the horse! ”

Longbowmen insist on riding the knights of the Royal Knights. It is because if you take away the maneuver, you will win.

“Not a chance!”

Earl Graham shouts and wields his sword with all his might. Then the sword made an error and shot out in batches.

It was a ranged attack with an error.

It was Earl Graham who was being evaluated for being close to the error master, though he had been unable to cross the wall and was experiencing a prolonged stagnation. That's why it was a skill I could demonstrate.

Kwam!

“Grrrgh!”

“Help me!”

Piles of spearmen have died.

As the war rages on, the damage of the Horn Empire begins to spread. Of course, the damage was minimal because it was a large force of 70,000, but the damage was not good because it continued to accumulate.

It wasn't the Marquis of Juden who was going to keep an eye on it.

“Nigel.”

“Yes, Father! ”

“Lead the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th thousand Cavalry, bypass the camp and block the retreat. ”

“Yes!”

Nigel immediately recognized the intentions of his father, the late King Juden. After leading 4,000 cavalry forces, Nigel runs like the wind, circling their headquarters counter-clockwise.

Covered by our own troops, the Royal Knights were trying to keep the cavalry from making a move. By the time Royalnites figured it out, Nigel's cavalry had already blocked the retreat.

Earl Juden's intentions have worked, and Earl Graham, who leads the Royal Knights, is unaware of his movements.
