Patrick and his men approach the Supply Squad camp. Unlike the Horn Empire, which has loosened its guard and once again, Patrick and his men have become fierce and fierce like beasts on the brink of battle.
‘Not yet… just a little more! ’
Patrick hasn't ordered the attack yet. The crew had to suppress their breasts that were about to explode.
The Horn Imperial Soldiers are resting comfortably in their tents. They were not aware of the existence of the Condol Cavalry.
Patrick waited a little longer.
And then there was the man he was waiting for.
“You said you came by order of the Baron Zakkal? ”
A middle-aged officer who appears to be in charge of the Supply Depot has arrived.
“Yes.”
Patrick replies.
The middle-aged officer's eyebrows twitched.
“Rude bastard, I've seen your boss. Don't you ever get off the horse? The cavalry doesn't stand a chance. The nomads who were robbing it all... ”
Gaaaah!
It was quick.
Patrick pulls Bastard Sword from his back and wields it in a heartbeat. A middle-aged officer's severed head flew into the air. It was so fast that no one could react for a long time.
“Hit it!”
Patrick's shrill voice. The crew pulls out their weapons as if they were waiting.
It wasn't until the Horn Empire understood the situation that its crew had freely slaughtered the hostiles around them.
“I'm the enemy! ”
“Enemies... khhh! ”
There was a massacre at the camp on a quiet night.
“Burn!”
At Patrick's command, the men hurl torches, holding one at a time, into the tent or wagon. The camp catches one at a time and becomes a sea of fire.
“Yippee!”
Patrick sprints to the horse. Bastard Sword slashed the entire Horn Empire soldier with weapons and armor. No one could think of an oppressive move against Patrick.
The soldiers who were asleep inside the tent barely took their weapons and ran away. The soldiers who didn't, died with a tent burned down.
A hundred men slaughtered and trampled through the camp on horseback. Whenever I rock a horse with good skill, the enemy dies instantly with a thump.
The commander was defeated first, causing the unit to be slaughtered unilaterally without a proper response. It was a battle with Patrick's judgment that lasted until the decisive moment.
“Damn it, run! ”
“Give up the food! ”
The Horn Empire has chosen to retreat or flee. The soldiers scatter their horns without order and escape the camp. Patrick and his men slaughter only the fighting soldiers, leaving the fugitives unattended.
In the middle of the night, the flames were blazing.
A clear flame that can be seen from afar.

Baron Zachar detected a foreign body from the 14,000 tribes.
I saw a group of unknown white Americans in South Korea, and they said they were part of the 14,000 tribe. However, the 14,000 tribes had never sent a white band apart.
I was not sure if it was a disguise of the enemy or if I heard it wrong, so I made a verbal report in person without a valid signal.
Baron Zakkal immediately realized that it was a Condol Cavalry.
At first, it was strange that it was the size of the Caucasians, but the smaller the size, the better it was to move in secret.
Moreover, if you are disguised as a Horn Imperial soldier, you are more likely to be targeted.
Instead of having fewer troops, it is a ploy to deceive the same military uniform and make a big fool out of it.
If it works, you can easily defeat several times the enemy.
"If it's a target they can target with a white force... it's a supply team!" ’
Baron Zakal was going to bait one or two more of the Thousand Company to catch the Condol Cavalry this time.
If we can eradicate them by isolating them so they have nowhere to go, there will be a thousand casualties on the market.
But the supply troops were different. This supply unit was carrying a considerable amount of food. Baron Zakkal had never intended to make such a big sacrifice as bait.
If not, there is no need to explain how important food is to the many Horn Empire troops.
"We'll be in big trouble if the cavalry gets overrun!" ’
I was alert.
The late Lord Kaisson is sensitive to any disruption in food supply caused by the Supply Squad. Considering the role of Earl Kaisson dedicated to building up allies in this war, you may be reprimanded this time.
Baron Zakkal urgently ordered the soldiers.
“Tell the 14,000 troops to protect the supply troops immediately! As soon as possible!”
“Old!”
The soldier hurried away.
"Damn, I'm not just getting beat up! ’
Baron Zachar wanted to run for his life because he felt like it. But I had to go after the first legion of Condol Cavalry. We must not destroy the current deployment of troops that are being hunted for just a hundred people.
Kondol Cavalry Headquarters is on the move at night. It was a clear intention to get the attention of the Horn Empire army while on the run. Thanks to this, Baron Zakkal was also forced to pursue without resting his soldiers.
“But there's no rush. ”
The urgent part is guarding the supply troops.
But the capture of the Condol Cavalry itself was not urgent. Now that you've blocked all the way back, you can step behind the line and wait for them to tire out.
Those who don't get the food will eventually fight first. They will try to make a move when they can still fight. That's the end of them.
‘I'd still like to protect the Supply Squad. ’
It was Baron Zakal who had already been defeated once and didn't want to have a flawless career.
However, unlike his wind, bad news came about as the sun began to rise.
The 14,000 troops who went to rescue the supply troops reported the defeat of the supply troops.
Of course, it was after the food was burnt down.
Soldiers who fled the battlefield said the enemy was within 100, and their commander was a very powerful Error Expert.
Patrick Condol himself! ’
At this point, Baron Zakkal had no choice but to stick his tongue out. A blacksmith himself led a small group of troops into a dangerous operation. What an extraordinary man!
Baron Zakkal thought he was troubled and unlucky.
Rarely among the nobles of the Kingdom of Leaden had any combat experience, especially against nomads like themselves. If I had met the right opponent, I would have gained victory more easily and accumulated enough specialties to make my fortune.
Then why is it that Patrick Condol is the opponent of the opponent in the field of opportunity open to him and is the Condol Cavalry of the same nomadic warriors?
“Hehe, I'm so unlucky. ”
As he watched the morning sunshine as he parted the darkness, Baron Zakkal lost his sight.
All I had to do was report this to the late Lord Kaisson and await disposal.
‘Now that I've captured most of the Condol Cavalry, I've managed to keep them at bay. ’
If I had to step down from this operation now and take responsibility for failing to carry out the mission, it would have been frustrating.
* * *
A report of the Baron Zachar has been sent to the late Kaisson.
Was it a mistake to use Baron Zakkal? ’
Earl Kaisson, who was uncomfortable with the news of the supply squad, quickly read the Baron Zacal's report as soon as he arrived. He was already considering disciplining Baron Zakkal and leaving the mission to another commander.
At least it seems that Baron Zachar is quick to notice. The report was objective and detailed with no exaggerations or reductions to suit the tastes of Earl Kaisson. Originally, the more incompetent leaders wanted a simple report that was good to look at, and the more experienced they were, the more detailed the report.
After reading the report, Earl Kaison was able to understand how the fight was going on.
“Baron Zakkal handled it well. ”
I was fortunate that I didn't misuse people. This time, there was no other way to describe it than the actions of Baron Jakal.
‘The commander himself led only a hundred cavalry troops, stealing their uniforms and infiltrating the depths and hitting the supply troops. What a marvelous feat.’
If it were any commander other than Baron Zakal, the damage might have been greater.
The late Kaisson summons the senior officers to the Operations Conference. And I made a decision.
“The lands of the Ligand will be held by the Emperor Rompel. The Emperor's Empire of the Four will not attempt anything in particular unless we make our first move, and will try to stay in shape." Then the only thing that will interfere with our mission to build our supply lines is the Condol Cavalry. ”
The words of Earl Kaison continue.
“Therefore, I am sending another 5,000 cavalry to order Baron Zakkal to repel the Condol Cavalry. That is why we will stop transporting munitions by land and use cargo vessels while the Condol Cavalry is active in the area. ”
“Old!”
Needless to say, Baron Zachar was impressed by the decision of the late Kaison, who supported more than 5,000 mounted troops.
