Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 138: Military God/Linos

"Master, this is Ramaron's reinforcement."

"Oh well. Thank you, Illimo."

Suddenly Illimo talks to me and my body freaks out. Why don't you? I was focusing too much on the sight in front of me.

Our Agarta army, divided into three armies, consists of 400 led by Lafayence in the center, 800 led by Knogen in the left wing, and 800 led by me in the right wing. Incidentally, the troops of the least powerful Lafayence are staffed with the most elite. He even felt beautiful the other way around, not breaking the line at all and retreating at critical intervals with the enemies he was going to kill.

The Ramaron army, properly drawn to Lafayence, was plunged into mayhem when the troops of the old general and those of both our wings stormed. The Agarta army has all been allowed to have junction stones, which basically make physical attacks impassable. For that reason, Ramaron's soldiers were ravaged by us as funny. I was wondering if I could keep siege and annihilate it, but just as the enemy doesn't seem stupid either, I've been rolling out new reinforcements.

"All right, back off!

Together with the order, I unleash the fire magic "burst" into the air, causing an explosion. To signal that, we stopped the attack and retreated for about 200 meters while maintaining formation. The Ramaron army is not coming after us. Apparently, they're joining forces with reinforcements to form a line. I go to Lafayence in the center, watching Ramaron move. Then there came the left-wing Knogen as well.

"Lord Linos, I was also talking to Knogen right now, but apparently the enemy has put infantry into reinforcements"

"Perhaps there's a mix of magicians in there."

"Okay. Okay, let's move the place. I like that big puddle over there. So we go back to the original formation and wait for them to get out. If you're going to storm us, let's lure them into a puddle. When you give the signal, me and Knogen's troops will move forward and form the Ko's shaped formation again. But bring forward those who have bows and those who can use magic. I think their magic and attacks can be protected by a junction stone, but just in case, until we have a signal, the sorcerer and the archers will wait behind us and the others will be shielded."

I quickly gave instructions, describing the location and formation of the movement with my bare hands, and immediately returned to the battalion.

Looking at my return, the central unit of Lafayence quickly joined the troops on both wings and retreated another 200 meters or so as they remained in two rows. And before the puddle, the old general's troops set up a formation, and right behind it I set up a right-wing formation, and Kunogen set up a left-wing formation.

"... small. They know how to fight a magician."

One of the commanders of the Ramaron army crushes with hatred. Make sure to hold him down, and the other commander opens his mouth.

"Oh, perhaps the frontal army itself will play the role of a Even if you attack with magic from afar, the damage is minimized. And if you poke him in the front with a cavalry, he'll pinch him again with a double-wing army, just like he did earlier. But I don't eat the same hands. They have an idea of that magnitude. Fine. Let's get him in that hand."

He shouts out to his surroundings.

"Everybody, listen up! Again, storm towards the central unit! Perhaps they will try to siege us with double-wing troops as central troops retreat. If the front unit is to retreat, storm the left-wing unit as it pursues. If we don't move, we'll storm the enemy in the front as it is. When the cavalry is annihilating the enemy, the infantry will protect the back of the cavalry unit and keep the enemy unit away from them. Don't worry! The enemy is a widow! Kata at once!

That's what one of the commanders said, running horses towards the Agarta army. And as we followed, thousands of cavalry followed him.

"... he went in. You're right on order. Well, can you get to us?

I shrug with a nigga and a grin. And give the soldiers around you loud instructions.

"Don't ever move until you have an order! Attract the enemy to the point!

When I saw Kunogen on the left wing, he looked at me and waved at me for a long time.

"... yeah? The front unit won't move, will it? All right, then we'll destroy the front! Go on!"

A commander who was running at the head of the horseback squad speeds up the horse. And he went straight into the puddle, and the cavalry that followed also went into the puddle one after the other. A blister rises on one side of the area.

Using that as a signal, an attack is inflicted with bows and magic from Lafayence's troops. Soldiers of the Ramaron army who fall one after the other. That's when I send a signal to Knogen's troops.

"Forward! Get out in front of the front unit!

Quickly me and Knogen's troops will be out in front of the Lafayettes. Just like surrounding a puddle, it's in a bowl-shaped formation.

"Him!"

As soon as we're in formation, I give the Archers and the Mages an attack order. From the left wing of Knogen, a bow and magic attack was launched as well as time.

For the Ramaron army, horses are eating bows and magical attacks in close proximity to crucible fire, on top of having their feet taken in the puddle and having difficulty taking movement. It is a food for bows and arrows and magic, not only to move on, but also to retreat. Incidentally, the Ramaron army begins to retreat. And then the succeeding infantry unit also saw the cavalry retreating, retreating to us.

"... hey, what? Why are the soldiers coming back?

Giseu, the commander-in-chief of the Agarta contingent, who was staring into battle on the hill, was confused. One of the commanders led the majority of the soldiers to reinforcements, and as a result, the enemy retreated for hundreds of metres. And the Ramaron army went after the enemy. That's good. But it was incredible that we stopped pursuing on the way and the soldiers would fall apart and retreat.

"My Lord Commander-in-Chief, because the enemy has a Boundary Master, or the attack doesn't go through at all!

One of the returning commanders reports out of breath. Giuseau looks around at the soldiers with his body trembling in small pieces.

"Co... is that all?

Initially, there were about 5,000 Ramaron soldiers, about 1,000.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, give me that!

When my men look in the direction they point, the Agarta army neatly makes two long queues coming this way. Then, when he comes to a point, he splits into three armies with the decree, slowly coming towards us in alignment with his gait. In all its splendour, Giuseau and the soldiers of the Ramaron army often forgot me.

"... Lord Commander-in-Chief, what will you do?

Already Giuseau had lost his will.

"... Retreat. Leave this place with all your might. Join the advance unit."

That being said, the Ramaron army below Giseu attempted to leave the scene at full speed. All that remained were a handful of loaded carriages that they had taken from the Lords.

"Don't let the enemy run away. Lord Linos, are we going after him?

Lafayence asks me with a niggling grin. This grandfather looks really happy when it comes to fighting.

"No, let's not. More than that, let's hurry up the recovery of that food. Kunogen, your troops go back to the capital first. It's unlikely, but if the enemy comes poking at the capital, do it then!

"I'm in awe! But they won't have that much leeway. Rest assured!

With that said, Knogen's troops left for the capital. I'm on my way with the old general to collect food.

"And it was a brilliant strategy and extraction. You are a god of war."

"No, it's a buyout."

I shrugged little, not looking at Lafayette's face. And I slowly ran Illimo.

The withdrawal of Ramaron troops from the battlefield was tragic. It was nice to be able to rendezvous with troops in the woods, but they had no food at all. In the midst of hunger and fatigue, we nevertheless had to travel to the border with all our might.

Even though they managed to cross the border and enter the Ramaron Empire, they had to cross some mountains before they could return to the Imperial Capital. From there the defectors began to emerge, and the belly-up soldiers worked the wolves, including breaking into the villages and private houses of Yamano to take food.

In the end, only about 4,000 people were able to reach the Imperial Capital exhausted. 60% of the soldiers in battle were attacked by the enemy, or attacked by demons while on the move, or defeated. This fact had a huge impact on the entire Ramaron Empire and, at the same time, had greatly discredited the military's prestige within the Empire.

Naturally, the anger of Empress Ramarone was softened, and Giseu, the commander-in-chief of the Agarta contingent, was held responsible for his defeat and for the soldiers' poor supervision, and in the middle of the Imperial Capital, his neck was beaten while exposed to the eyes of many people.

Giuseau, drawn to prison as it rained, cried and begged for his life, and resisted.

"No!!!! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!!

"Non is not bad! It's not Noon! My men, incompetent men!!

"Stop it! Don't touch it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!"

"Help! Help me! No! No, Dad, help me! Mom! Mom! Mom!!!!

The scandal further discredited the trust of the Imperial Army of Ramaron.
