Price of Management

How much time has passed. One of the men scouting the area hurriedly came running to report.

“Commander, the Horn Empire is approaching with an estimated 15,000 mounted troops! We should be able to meet our allies in approximately 5 hours. ”

“I see. Keep an eye on the enemy. ”

“Yes!”

Commander Balac instructed the crew to leave on the way back. The water on Balac's face was young.

‘I need to report this to the commander so he can retreat before encountering the enemy...' ’

Patrick, the commander of the Condol Cavalry, was ecstatic and was dancing by himself.

Anyone could tell that the sword was unusual. It was because I felt the free and majestic force that seemed to suck the teeth out of Patrick's movements.

As a matter of reporting, I realized I shouldn't have forced Patrick to wake up from ecstasy. It was because he seemed to have had a very important moment as an unmanned man.

“I don't know what to do. Should I call the commander and let him know? ”

Daltan, commander of the Second Fleet, approached and asked. Balac shakes his head.

“I'll wait a little longer. Stopping that sword of yours right now would be irreversible. ”

“So is he... ”

All of the Condol Cavalry had to do was wait until Patrick stopped the sword himself. Balac gives you control over the crew, making sure you don't disturb Patrick. I just stared at Patrick, breathlessly.

How long has it been?

By the time the scouts returned to inform us of the Horn Empire's approach, Patrick had finally stopped his sword.

Patrick stops moving and looks up at the sky, lowering his sword.

His eyes were filled with excitement and joy.

“Sir?”

Balac speaks carefully.

Patrick turns his head to look at Balac.

“First Fleet Commander, what's the matter? ”

“Baron Zakkal is approaching. We must move quickly before they catch up. ”

“Yes. Baron Zakkal is already here. It must have been hard catching up with us. ”

“Commander, give the order. ”

Patrick grins at Balac's anxious urge.

“Baron Zakkal is 100% confident that if he catches up with us, he can fight and win. This is a great opportunity. ”

“Yes?”

“I've already done enough damage to the nomadic tribes of this area. This should be enough to shake the nomadic warriors at war. All that's left now is to defeat Baron Zakkal and return to the Kingdom of Leaden. ”

“Are you willing to go head-to-head with the Baron Zakkal? ”

Patrick nods.

“I don't have a good opportunity like this. Baron Jacquel will try to divide his forces and block our retreat, assuming we will retreat. As if we were to flee, we would take the motion and lead our guard down, and immediately we would win the victory over the Baron of Zachar's example. ”

“The enemy is Baron Zakal, not our incompetent commander, and our enemy is more than three times as many. Can you really beat him? ”

“I win.”

“Commander, what have you accomplished? ”

Patrick places his hand on Balac's shoulder.

“Thanks to you.”

Only then did Balac's complexion brighten. I found out why Patrick was convinced of victory.

“I can barely keep up! ”

Baron Zakal sped up his march after a scout report that he had found a Condol Cavalry.

The Condol Cavalry was too fast. If there was a metaphor for what they left, they could have run all night for almost three or four days. It was a tremendous speed that would not have come if we hadn't been trained this enforcer for a long time.

The Horn Empire cavalry led by Baron Zakal also came from nomadic warriors, but he was unable to keep up with the movement speed of the Condol cavalry, so he stormed the plains and stormed the nomadic quarter. Wherever I go, the Condol Cavalry has already scrambled and left.

That's how our scouts discovered the Condol Cavalry while continuing to do nothing. The whole force of the Condol Cavalry is not a trail.

“Hurry!”

Baron Zakkal encourages Sarah's soldiers to miss this opportunity.

‘I can't believe they caught up like this all of a sudden. Maybe they're resting because their stamina is limited. Either way, we have to destroy them before they escape again. ’

Finally, the Condol Cavalry came into the baron's sight. Baron Zakal immediately sent 3,000 cavalry left and right to stop the Kondol cavalry from retreating. Baron Zachar himself led a force of more than 9,000.

As the Baron's army attacked, the Condol Cavalry began to turn its horses and flee.

“Pursue!”

Baron Zachar's eyes flash with fire as the Condol Cavalry flees. How hard have those skinny bastards worked so far? I couldn't miss this opportunity.

Baron Jacques' army moves swiftly.

Baron Zakkal charged himself with 9,000 cavalry, and 3,000 horsemen from both sides surrounded the Condol Cavalry.

The chase of Baron Jacques draws more and more distance from the Condol Cavalry.

‘Wait……. ’

Baron Zakkal suddenly felt strange.

‘They must have known we were approaching. Why didn't they just run away? ’

Captain Patrick Condol of the Condol Cavalry was bold and cautious. The commander of an army that alone infiltrated the plains here, the territory of the enemy, would never hesitate to scout.

However, it was suspicious that Baron Zachar was not retreating until he approached the line of sight.

It's like they're trying to lure me in. But why? Did you set some kind of trap? ’

Baron Zakkal shakes his head.

The Condol Cavalry was clearly more than 4,000 troops. There were no troops to ambush and nothing to ambush or trap in the open meadow.

Then what the hell is the point?

You're saying you can win by confronting yourself three times over?

Baron Zakkal was confident he could win. But I couldn't help but feel the anxiety of something smurfy.

And that was that moment.

The Condol Cavalry that wanted to flee suddenly turned and rushed straight towards the baron's example.

“You meant to fight. ”

Baron Jacquel was certain of the intention of the Condol Cavalry.

What made the motion to escape was a ploy to get the Horn Empire to disperse troops to block their retreat.

In the meantime, it was a tactic to take the life of Baron Jakal, commander of the Horn Empire's base.

The leader of the Condol Cavalry, Patrick Condol, was a brave man and thought it would be possible to master swordsmanship.

“Hmph, can you handle it that easily? ”

Baron Zakkal ordered a full charge.

Nine thousand, even if we split up the troops. It was a number that could win even if face-to-face. There were 6,000 cavalry deployed to the left and to the right to surround the Condol Cavalry.

Baron Zakal takes a slight step back. It's because Patrick Condol may have stepped ahead of his superior position and burst in momentarily and killed himself.

As a result, Baron Zakkal was able to almost accurately understand the intentions of the Condol Cavalry.

But only one.

There was one variable that Baron Zakkal did not know.

The variable completely reversed the victory or loss.
