Price of Management

You can see how much manpower dominates the battle by looking at the previous warlords.

I only know of the example of Grand Duke Crosthen Bezalius, who fought and set a record of wonders never before seen.

As an infantryman, Duke Bezalius used a traditional hammer and anvil tactic to flank or rear his mounted cavalry and collapse the enemy camp.

In addition, the cavalry hit both sides and the rear simultaneously, resulting in a wide range of mercenaries, including eliminating the siege.

The only reason I was able to do that was because I was able to maintain dominance in the cavalry force thanks to the introduction of nomads as allies.

In retrospect of such a classic case, we can see how disadvantageous the current situation is.

Of course, Duke Meutt had one advantage.

Campbell Birds and the death penalty.

If I confronted them head-on because they included all a hundred disciples martyred by Duke Meutt, I was able to smash my enemies with a powerful breakthrough.

Chamberlain decides to take advantage of that.

“The role of our death penalty is very large. We'll take the lead with 3,000 cavalry and actively break through their bows. ”

“We also need to have a countermeasure if we're coming in from both sides or from the rear. ”

“Disperse the archer on the left and right sides, making sure to fire whenever you encounter an enemy. ”

Baron Laurel nods his head after reviewing the words of the Chamberlain.

“I think that's the best option. We will choose a nomadic way of fighting against the equator rather than against it. ”

“Anyway, let's hurry. We must march as soon as possible before the Grand Duke of Juden's headquarters catches up with us. ”

“Yes.”

Baron Campbell and the other priests, including Baron Laurel, stand in the lead and command the troops.

As discussed, 3,000 cavalry men were put on the front line with the Campbell Bird of Death, while the archers remained stationed on the left and right sides while the Duke of Meutt initiated a movement.

In front of it is the 20,000 horsemen of Nigel Jurden.

100,000 of the Marquis of Juden's troops want to complete the Temple of Knights raid behind them and begin their pursuit.

And Caroc Ligand was also a brotherhood following them somewhere.

“Reporting! Duke Meutt is advancing. ”

After scouting, a white man jumps off his horse and walks to Nigel.

Nigel asked.

“What's your troop size?"

“We estimate about 20,000. ”

“What's the exact deployment? ”

“I put my cavalry on the front and my archers on the left and right sides. Duke Meutt's disciples, including Captain Campbell, are also approaching from the front. ”

“Hmm.”

As soon as Nigel heard the report, he realized the importance of his own son, Campbell. A special type of nomadic tactic.A very cautious deployment.

“Duke Meutt? ”

“I didn't see it. ”

“Was there a wagon? ”

“None.”

“Tsk. You got rid of it first. ”

Knowing that Duke Meutt had already left the battlefield a long time ago, Nigel put his tongue to shame.

If you capture Duke Meutt, who was powerless in the duel with the Marquis of Great Gen., you will get a really big rap sheet. Unfortunately, the sky didn't give Nigel that kind of credit.

“Well, admit it. Duke Meutt is way out of line on my subject. ”

I decided to forget about the sadness and focus on Duke Meutt's army in front of me.

The distance between two factions is about 16 kilometers. Given the basic march speed of the infantry, it was a few hours away.

No, if all of Nigel's horsemen were active, it would take less than an hour for the battle to begin.

But Nigel doesn't move. Duke Meutt casually waits for his men to approach.

However, the ten thousand tribes that had been dispersed were closing very little distance towards Duke Meutt.

A few hours later, Duke Meutt approaches from a distance. After confirming this, Nigel gives the order with a smile.

“Retreat.”

The ceiling seals who followed instructions doubted their ears. What do you mean, the enemy is waiting for you to retreat?

However, Nigel's continued explanation made sense to everyone.

“Enemy advances quickly. Let me walk more. ”

“Ah!”

The Celestial Seals couldn't help but admire.

He kept his distance and intended to fight when the enemy was exhausted as a long march.

Duke Meutt was confounded by Nigel's retreat.

“Retreat?”

Baron Laurel told Baron Campbell, surprised.

“Big brother, it looks like we're going to have to wait until we're tired. ”

“Are you willing to take it easy because we're moving too fast?" You have a really good sense of timing. ”

Chamberlain is deeply troubled. It was already difficult, but the opponent presented the challenge again.

“Fighting while the soldiers are tired is disadvantageous, but we can't slow down the march..." What do you think? ”

“We need to lower our march pace to reduce their stamina consumption. ”

“Slowing down the march will catch up with the Marquis of Juden. ”

“Big brother, have you forgotten? His Excellency has not yet appeared. He's still not joining us because he's stopping the pursuit of the Marquis of Juden. We have to trust the President and slow down. ”

“Well, so does he. Chancellor, I think the burden you carry is too heavy. ”

How does it feel to fight 100,000 troops alone?

It was something I didn't want to imagine as a Campbell, so I felt more indebted to Caroc.

“Big brother, I can't help it. We need to focus on beating the enemy in front of us. ”

“Yes, you're right. We're slowing down the march. ”

Soon the Duke of Meutt slows down his march and moves slowly.

The Nigel army also slowly retreated to its pace, maintaining a certain distance.

Time flies by while maintaining a proximity to start a fight at any time.

A full-blown war at last.

In the aftermath of the Battle of the Kingdom of Ledon, Duke Meutt and the Baden River also fought.

The Horn Empire and the Kingdom of Leaden have risked everything in this war. The Kingdom of Lerdon was naturally doomed to destruction if the war was lost, and the Horn Empire also feared that if the expedition failed, the absolute kingdom would be shaken. Both sides fought desperately.

However, there were those who were most distressed in this war.

Earl Antares and Earl Lindell. The two men who turned their backs on the Kingdom of Leaden and went to the Horn were in a more subtle position to observe the playing field than anyone else.

Because of this, they were gathering a network of information to keep an eye on the situation of combat everywhere.

“What a strange turn of events. Even Duke Meutt has survived the battle of the Kingdom of Leaden by surprise... I heard that the Kingdom of Leaden is giving up on Kingdom of Leaden and moving smoothly. ”

Earl Lindell said in an uneasy tone.

Earl Antares hears this and nods.

“The Kingdom of Leaden is at war better than expected. Not bad.”

“This is no time for idle talk! ”

Earl Lindell has made his move.

“What do you mean by the rebirth of Grand Duke Bezalius, a great army? I opened the lid and there's no place like home! If the Horn Empire loses this war, we won't be saved! ”
