Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

183. Conditions for heroes

At the end of the force, the cavalry led by Raydor arrived in the western border zone.

General Darren Garst, Thousand Knights Commander Sarah Lifet, Justy O'Guist,... erotic maids and three thousand cavalry units arrived with Raydor. Five thousand infantry soldiers have been behind closed doors, but their arrival will still take days.

On the way here, I met a large number of evacuees on the street.

The people who used to live here are thin, pale, and fleeing eastward in a slow march.

I wonder if my face faded like a sick person, and I lost my vitality from my eyes.

"Oh...! You're here, Highness Reidor...!"

Mountains on the border separating the two countries - a faraway peak of the Fernigesh Mountains - were greeted by Leidor, who was under the command of Captain Wooster Gordo, a thousand men.

"Thank you, thank you for coming... Geho!" * Giggle *...! "

"Hey, are you okay!? Stay with me!"

The thin young soldier saw Raydor's face rushing towards him, and his eyes filled with tears.

Raydor rushes to order his men to heal the soldiers, giving them water while listening.

"Do you still have the strength to report?" Do your duty as a survivor. "

It was the mountains that wanted to rest the wounded and exhausted soldiers, but now we are in the middle of war. The freshness of the information often influences the outcome of the battle. I had to listen to what the soldiers had to say, even if it wasn't true.

"I'm fine. I can talk..." Let me make a report...! "

The soldier speaks with a lingering tone of voice about what he has seen and heard here.

The report was the same as what the soldiers who had been sent to the Royal Palace had told us.

I didn't know it halfway through. It is about the last time that Uster Gordo followed.

"Captain Gordo sent young soldiers, including me, to a nearby village to intercept his enemies. And... seven days and seven nights, it seemed that the fort was set on fire at the end of the battle. When I returned to see how things were, the fort was already on fire. The captain is probably also...."

"I see..."

Raydor ordered Gordo to be the Captain of the Thousand, but not if he asked if there was much conversation. Gordo was only one of Raydor's men, and he wasn't close enough to be called close to him, like Dalen and Sven.

But... still, when I heard that the men sent to the West by my own orders had lost their lives, I felt a pain that squeezed my chest.

"... Gordo was Baron Eladin's subordinate." I get nervous when I think I have to talk to Shirley. ”

Shirley Eradin was the daughter of the Baron Eradin family and now works as a servant with a royal palace.

Shirley was young and lacking in femininity, but she was born with the power of [fascination].

While entertaining male visitors to the Royal Palace, he was fascinated and played a shady role in eliciting meaningful information.

(It seems that every time he tries to dive into my bedroom, he inherits all the bad parts from some erotic maid... but even such a guy is my subordinate. I didn't want to see a sad face if I could.)

"... Gordo's avenge will surely be crushed." Keep reporting. "

"Ha..." It seems that the horde of immortals that fell the fort are attacking villages and towns in the western region in two parts, the north and the south. They are slow and early evacuation advisors have done no great harm, but there are casualties among the villagers who fled late. ”

"... so where are the enemies now?"

"Depending on where my fellow soldiers followed them, perhaps now..."

The soldiers spoke on the northern and southern streets of the Western Border Region.

Both are not far from this location, but we still need to split our forces in two in order to attack them both at the same time.

"If I could, I would destroy each one of them without dispersing the battle force..."

But... then there's a risk that we'll let the enemy go backwards.

From the side, Darren Garst became the general of the Zayn Kingdom Army.

"As far as Lord Neimilia is concerned, both the enemy armies must have a force of over 10,000. It doesn't seem like much practice, but it will be difficult to defeat it in a short time. While we destroy one enemy, the other may catch up with the evacuees in the rear.”

"Hmm..."

In Raydor's mind, people who were evacuated with steps like sick people appeared.

The Undead seem to have dull legs, but they can keep moving without fatigue. We will eventually catch up with the evacuees.

"... if you destroy each one, you will abandon the evacuees in the rear." That said, splitting up your troops into two is a suicidal act, isn't it? "

"That's right. Even though the Undead's combat prowess isn't very high, this is 3,000." The enemies of the North and the South are large armies of over 10,000 each. If we disperse our forces bypassing them, we will be swallowed up by the difference in numbers...... I wonder if the best thing we can do in this situation is to abandon the evacuees. "

Dalen clearly insisted on doing so, with a beautiful look on his face.

"It depends on the power of the [Four Horsemen of the Doomsday]... but if we destroy the enemies of the North and the South in turn without breaking their strength, we probably won't be defeated." If we abandon the displaced, we will be sure to win. ”

An army of immortals divided between the north and the south. Whichever priority you choose to attack, the one who spins later will catch up with the evacuees in the rear and kill them.

However... the cavalry unit led by Raydor is followed by the infantry unit, so the enemy cannot step inside the Zayn Kingdom any further. It is also possible to intercept enemies with cavalry and infantry.

We can easily win this battle by making the decision to abandon the evacuees.

"Shengcheng... it's not bad. I don't think it's bad..."

Raydor sighed deeply.

Beauty is not the only thing that monarchs do. Sometimes those who stand on top of others have to make cruel decisions.

If we are to secure a definitive victory, we should accept Dalen's advice and destroy each and every one of our enemies.

"No! There's no way I can do that!"

But... this is where the protest rose.

It was Neferte Aterna, the prince of the kingdom of Aterna, who made a voice that cut through the air of the field.

I had no plans to bring Neferte on this expedition... but when I summoned one of the Thousand Horsemen, Justice O'Guist, the news of the Undead onslaught was in the ears of Neferte, who was escorted by Justy.

The Undead, who destroyed their own country, have come to the Zayn Kingdom, where they fled.

Neferte's decision to learn of it was quick. I was forced to accompany my opponent, Justy, on this expedition.

"Those who have been killed by the Undead will become Undead in the same way!? We must not allow the people of this country to suffer the same as the people of Athena!"

"Your Highness, Neferte..."

Nefert, who complains in tears, makes Justy's face miserable.

While gathering the gaze of everyone present at the scene, Neferte still breathed out his thoughts.

"I am an incompetent prince." Abandoning his people, abandoning his father, and fleeing into this country alone. But... you must be different, Lord Raydor! The chosen heroes of the Holy Sword do not abandon the people! Please, don't give people the same despair as the people of Aterna...! "

"...... Your Highness, Raydor, please let me help you." Please reconsider. "

Neferte, exposing her grief, and Justy bowed their heads again.

"We know that sacrifices are necessary to ensure victory. I sincerely apologize for the heartache of His Highness, who deposits the country as the Regent. But... please don't abandon the people who flee."...... why not?! "

"Come on... now, I'm like a bad guy, aren't I?"

Raydor smiled bitterly at the complaining Neferte and Justy.

I wonder when the two of them got to know each other so well-thinking like that, they stick out their fists.

"I'm not going to abandon the evacuees from the beginning." We warriors should be the ones who die in battle. Do not sacrifice innocent people. "

"Well then...!"

Yeah.

Raydor nodded vigorously as Nefert's gaze glowed.

"The enemy forces will be destroyed." Help the evacuees - both of them heroes! We are going to be heroes. It's going to be a tough road, so be prepared! "
