Price of Management

Did you see this coming? You're the wise man of Leaden. ’

The vision of Marquis Caroc Ligand, who accepted the nomadic people and formed such a cavalry, was astonishing.

So, how do we catch a Condol Cavalry?

Baron Zachar recalls a time when he roamed the meadow.

Traditionally, there were two strategies for imperial troops against the nomads who were actively raiding.

Firstly, by releasing multiple troops and blocking the area.

Two, to lay the foundation of the enemy.

First, when the nomadic army appeared, it meant a strategy to block a hole to escape to surround the area. To surround the army of the nomads quickly, it was imperative to throw bait and lure them.

Moreover, to form a siege network, we had to divide the troops and deploy them at each point, which was a high risk of being individualized. Therefore, overwhelming forces are needed and close communication between disparate units should be established.

Second, it meant a strategy to find and attack a part of the family of nomadic warriors. Even the wandering nomadic warriors had to show up to save their families. So the nomads moved their tribe from time to time and kept their position a secret.

‘I can't do the second strategy, so the remaining methods are the first. ’

The foundation of the Condol Cavalry is ligand territory, which is the work of the Grand Duke Rompel Army, not of Baron Jacques' dimension.

That's why Baron Zakkal chose his first strategy.

It was a way to wait for the Condol Cavalry to come back, then block and capture an area's retreat.

‘Their job is probably to hit our supply lines. If so, the supplies will reappear when transporting the supplies. ’

The cavalry that I raised with all my heart could not only be used once. So here they come again.

Baron Zakkal was so sure.

‘The important thing is to be able to understand their movements. ’

The reason the Horn Empire was unilaterally defeated on the day the Condol Cavalry first appeared was because they did not even know they had appeared.

Commander, Earl Kaison, did not hesitate to patrol, but they quickly wiped out their patrols, blocking their intel and making secret moves. In the end, the Supply Battalion was defeated without realizing that the enemy was approaching. Baron Zakkal himself has seen such a waste.

Such things should not be repeated. It was natural that the punishment of those who were attacked would be disadvantageous.

‘But keeping an eye on a soldier by releasing him won't help if he's eliminated. ’

The Condol Cavalry was faster than the patrol. That's why the patrol was killed, not one of them escaped.

So what should we do?

Baron Jakal had a plan in mind for this matter.

“13,000 commander.”

“Yes, Baron. ”

“Disperse 100 Dozens under your command into their respective zones for reconnaissance. If an enemy appears, signal with an enzyme (" 22150 ";" 30690 "), and each teenager should not be far from the distance where they cannot hear the sound of the enzyme. Do you understand?”

“I understand!”

“Then go. ”

It was an arrow that sounded like a yeasty. A hollow clasp attached to the end of an arrow. When you shoot it up into the sky, it strikes the air like a whistle.

Baron Zakkal kept plenty of this time before he left. Similar to the principle of Beacon Mounds, it was intended to establish a network of communications in time to detect the movement of the Condol Cavalry.

‘You can't get out of my sight now. Risk appearances, or do nothing, or your choice is just one of two. ’

* * *

As Baron Jacques predicted, the Condol Cavalry entered the territory of Antares two days later. As an example, eliminating enemy patrols meant infiltrating deep within the territory, but encountered an unexpected event.

A ten-man Horn Empire patrol fires an arrow into the sky as soon as he spots a Condol Cavalry.

Peek-a-boo.

An arrow that cuts through the air and makes loud noises.

‘Yuxi?! ’

Patrick immediately recognized the timing. It was commonly used as a command signal in war.

Subsequently, I heard the sound of the time in the west. Another patrol west sent a signal to an ally.

Recognizing what was happening in English, Patrick immediately ordered a retreat.

“Retreat!”

The Horn Empire recognizes their presence as a sign of effective effect. If you hesitate, an army gathers.

The Condol Cavalry retreats like a tide and leaves Antares' territory.

“I'm in trouble. ”

The Horn Empire's defenses are better than I thought. At this rate, you can't hit any more enemy supply lines.

I've been trying to figure out how to get through that surveillance and attack the supply depot, but there's no answer.

Patrick summons the battalion commanders because he knows it's useless to wrap his head around it alone.

Balac, Daltan and Geden meet face-to-face with Patrick while giving the crew a break.

“I don't know who the leader is, but I'm pretty sure he's from the nomads. I am very familiar with periods before the period. ”

Balac and Geden agreed with the Second Fleet Commander Daltan.

“That's right. That system is often used by warriors of our breeze. ”

“It's not a common strategy. It's how we fight the Punitive Force and the nomadic tribes at war. He must have come from a ranking warrior or chieftain among the nomadic people, given the proper use of such things. ”

Geden tilts his head and says, "What are you thinking?"

“Could it be that guy from the fight? ”

“Baron Zakkal? ”

Patrick asked.

Geden nods.

“That's right. He's the only one who's been fighting us for a while now, so I'm guessing that Earl Kaisson gave him an army to deal with us.“ ”

“But he literally defeated us not long ago. If you were here to fight us, you would have given more troops than you did then. You gave more command to the warden? ”

Daltan questioned.

Balak also expressed his opinion.

“What's important about riding is maneuverability. The only person who saw how fast our Kondol cavalry was the Baron Zakal. ”

“That's what I mean. You have to know how fast you can guess where your opponent is. And I beat him, but that day, Jacques was the best decision he could make. I heard that the enemy commander, Earl Kaison, is a man that the emperor recognized. He may have weighed that out quite a bit. ”

“Hmm, I can see that. ”

Eventually, Daltan also noticed that he was in agreement with the two of them.

Patrick, who was listening, came to a conclusion as soon as the three men were in agreement.

“First of all, we must be the Baron Zakal. In fact, I think it's because I'm intuitive. I overlooked my desire to never be beaten again from the attitude of an enemy that was so meticulously prepared to build a contact network in time. ”

Patrick recalls the end of his encounter with the Baron Zachar.

He ran away in the back of the soldier, but the way he looked at Patrick was shivering. It was the eyes of a vengeful warrior who knew the strength of his enemies and was not afraid.

“Anyway, I'm in trouble. Baron Zakal will have more men than us and will not be careless. Even if we penetrate that surveillance, the enemy supply team will be protected by Baron Zakal. Surely he has more troops than we do, so this is a disadvantage if we go head-to-head. ”

Balac nods.

“Instead, they'll use the supply squad as bait to lure us in and block all exits. We're only looking for a chance to get us a noose. He's thirsty in his specialty. ”

Geden's words.

No opponent has ever been more fearsome than he has been with his youth and abilities. It's because if I see an opportunity, I will bite like a dog.

I haven't had a sharp move in a while, so I just silenced the four of you.

After the meeting didn't work out, Patrick decided to take the day off.

But it was then.

A young man with a still-faced face dared to enter the meeting of four people.

“Forgive my rudeness, Commander. I am Valter of the 7th Century. ”
