Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill
Episode 191: Cavalry of the Citrus Army
As soon as I saw the enemy and saw that they were within range of the Magic Soldier, the whole army stopped at once.
My main unit is in the middle of the last row of the entire army. Squad defending the main unit on the left and right. There aren't many, but the soldiers aren't low-quality.
The front row is lined up with a squad led by Leatz and a squad led by Mireille.
Behind them is the Maitreya Mercenary Corps led by Cramanto.
The actions of the enemy forces will allow you to move in an ad hoc manner. To do this, we're in an easy-to-order position near the main unit.
The two teams have infantry in the front row with shields, and magicians lining up behind them.
There are twelve large-scale catalytic engines. All the other Magic Soldiers were equipped with intermediate and lower level Catalysts.
The enemy forces will be aware of us. Be on alert.
But there was no charge.
There are fewer of us, so if the enemy forces have enough Magic Water, they will not hesitate to defeat us.
Now, it seems that the lack of resources is making the action passive. The enemy commander may still not have an answer as to how best to act.
Anyway, the immobile enemy is just the status quo.
I told Mireille and Leatz in advance that they could move at their own pace to some extent.
It is not the two of us who miss such a clear opportunity.
I immediately sent instructions to the Magic Soldier to use my magic attacks.
The magic of the flame attribute is fired simultaneously.
Not even the enemy army completely ran out of magic water. At first, I managed to defend myself, but gradually I couldn't.
When this happens, the enemy soldiers will have to move forward. Ready to make sacrifices, they charged at once.
I haven't actually witnessed it, but in this battle, even though we've sacrificed a lot of soldiers like this, it seems that the Citrix army has been fighting to finish the battle.
Even though it looked like a special attack without any thoughts, it was effective if it beat the number by a large amount.
In fact, it was broken through in that way at first.
This time, even as the Canale Army, they were mobilizing all the soldiers they could use.
On top of that, I only had magic water.
I was worried that Charlotte would be gone, but I didn't think she'd be able to break through with all her strength.
That prediction was correct. The enemy soldiers were defeated one after another by the magic of the Canary Army.
Mousha's magic was stronger than expected. Of course, it was weaker than Charlotte, but it was quite powerful.
Magic is also important for its martial arts value, but perhaps more important than that is the level of aptitude.
Leetz and Mireille's instructions were also accurate.
I'm measuring distance from enemies and retreating and advancing.
The outpost keeps attacking enemy soldiers without breaking through.
When it becomes painful, the enemy has no choice but to retreat.
The objective of this battle is to have you retreat first, but the enemy doesn't want to retreat. The enemy forces have taken a lot of damage to get here. Charlotte's magic came back to me many times. I'm also relieved that I'm going to be uncomfortable.
However, the enemy did not decide to stay on their own, but it seemed to have a plan.
It looks like a lot of cavalry has left and is heading our way.
The next scariest thing in magic was a maneuvering cavalry.
It's hard to hit magic when you're moving at that speed.
It's not Leetz or Mireille, it's like I'm in the main force.
The riders were approaching from the right side and the left side.
Aiming at the general is a common weapon of war.
Of course, we have taken measures to deal with this, so Leats and Mireille are caught by the movement of the riding horse and do not disturb the movement.
My troops don't panic either. Roselle seemed to have read through the timing of the enemy's use of the riders. Instructions were given immediately.
"Maitro Mercenaries, help us defend our unit!"
At the behest of Roselle, the Maitro Mercenaries took action. They listen when they listen to their instructions.
Mercenaries had the image of fighting on their own, but not on their own.
Perhaps the image is correct and the Maitreya Mercenaries are good enough to follow their instructions properly.
Crammanto's troops were very skilled at leading, and the mercenaries moved smoothly, fortifying their defenses against the cavalry in an instant.
I put a spearman in the front line, so I didn't get a surprise attack.
Likewise, Roselle changed her troops to accommodate the cavalry.
This change was also smooth.
Enemy cavalry is approaching.
Enemy cavalrymen don't know if their riders are good or if their horses are of good breed, but they have speed anyway.
The size of the horse was also bigger than usual, so it was very powerful.
Even so, I was not frightened and sent instructions.
Magic Soldier Preparation!
Not all Magic Soldiers were assembled in Leetz and Mireille's corps.
I predicted that there would be a raid from the horse riders like this one, so I also deployed them to the main unit and the Maitro mercenary group.
There were about twenty of them in each team, but their magic was still very effective.
At the behest of Roselle, the Magic Soldier cast a flaming spell on the enemy cavalry.
Several horses were timid and disorganized.
When you charge in as a cavalry, you must defend your enemies' magic with a magic soldier, or you must train your horses well so that they are not frightened by magic.
Some of the enemy cavalry were well-trained, and some were not timid.
However, when there were frightened horses, they interfered with the running of other horses, so only a few were frightened, and the cavalry's progression speed slowed down considerably.
A cavalryman can be quite effective when thrusting at a speed, but not too scary when killing at a speed.
The enemy cavalry entered the main unit at reduced speed. With a long spear, they were aiming at the rider, not the horse, and taking it down more and more.
We were determined to win when we disrupted the enemy's leadership. The enemy cavalry withdrew.
The Maitro Mercenaries have been successfully defeated.
After all, we were able to read the enemy's movements beforehand, which is why we were able to defeat them.
