Episode 24: Terripol's Battle Suddenly

Erkühl grinned niggardly, confirming that the general of the Kingdom of Cerda had moved the bulk of his central force to both wings.

As a matter of fact... the purpose of Erkühl is not to destroy the enemy's wings and then destroy the siege.

The Kingdom of Cerda and the Lemurian Empire have been enemies of each other for many years...

Naturally, we can assume that the Kingdom of Cerda has studied the tactics of Erkühl exhaustively.

Now Erkühl's name is blown to the Western world as a famous general.

It's convenient and I can't be optimistic that you'll be alarmed.

And in this battlefield, the Lemurian army is inferior in number but overwhelmingly superior in cavalry power.

I mean, it's easy for anyone to come up with a tactic that Elquille would use his mobility to try a double-wing siege,

In addition...... it is the battle between Lemuria and Cerda.

History is completely different from the kingdom of Cerda, as are the peoples that were made up...

There was once a maritime and commercial state on the southern continent, the Republic of Cerda.

Its legendary General of the Cherda Republic has over and over again besieged the army of Lemuria...

And finally, on this southern continent, on the contrary, Lemuria imitated and defeated its tactics.

I really... this anecdote goes through the back of my brain.

It is self-evident that the general of the Kingdom of Cerda anticipates a siege tactic.

If you know their tactics, you can handle them.

At any rate, the Cerda army is superior to Lemuria by force.

If we bridge the quantitative and qualitative differences in cavalry with infantry, it will never be difficult to prevent the double-wing siege of Lemuria.

Enemy General Carmine is not so famous as a famous general...

Erkühl had heard from Machinisa that he was a warring general who had fought many times against the Barbal tribe.

Erkühl thought he wasn't a brilliant opponent enough to be honestly surrounded.

Therefore Erkühr abandoned the royal tactic of siege of both wings.

And... on the contrary, I decided to use the enemy's thoughts.

Carmine should believe Elquille will have a double-wing siege.

So I dared to pour my power into both wings from the next to the next, so as to make it look like I was really attempting a double-wing siege, directing Carmine's consciousness to both wings.

He even dared to delay and create a siege of the center forward, forming a formation there that would make him think that he was concentrating his enemy's forces on a siege...

Fully in a hurry, Carmine poured all of his central reserves into both wings, as well as even his central.

Results……

The strength of the Royal Cerda Army took the form of a large infusion into both wings, greatly reducing the thickness of the centre.

This is the situation Elquille wanted.

"Shehrazard, we're going to crush our enemies. My escort, please?

"Yes! Your Majesty!!

I can finally help.

Shehrazard laughed happily.

After stroking Shehrazard's head like that...

Erkühr hides behind two central battalions of infantry, and gives orders to three battalions of medium cavalry (cataphract), which he has kept under cover with the magic of Asmodeus.

"Come on, gentlemen. It's finally our turn.... Infantry, retreat! Medium Cavalry (Catafract), forward!

Erkühr replaces the front and rear of the Infantry Unit and the Interior Cavalry (Catafract) Unit.

And order the infantry unit.

"After the cavalry assault, ask you to spread the wounds of your enemies wide. I hope so."

And Elquille, along with Shehrazard, took the lead in the Cavalry of Medium (catafract).

Shake up your sword and scream.

"Come on, let's go!! God is with us!

"" God is with us!!

An assault by the Lemurian army was launched.

Carmine noticed her failure...

It was when he realized that a medium cavalry (catafract) had appeared in the centre of the Lemurian army.

Slowly… Medium cavalry (catafract) and infantry units change back and forth.

With that, Carmine's face also turns blue.

"No way, enemy aim..."

Carmine rushes to pull the light infantry unit back from both wings.

But it's already late.

The Lemurian army central was already ready for the assault.

The Lemurian army, roaring, launches an assault.

"Shit, can't we stand this place!

Carmine rides a horse and takes command by standing on the front line herself.

"Central Infantry Unit! Put the spear down! Defeat enemy cavalry!!

The Royal Cerda Infantry Unit sets up round shields and spears to prepare for the Lemurian army assault.

but the medium cavalry (catafract) stopped suddenly before the assault.

They began firing simultaneously.

"Damn, did it taste bad to have sent all the light infantry to both wings!

With light infantry, you could have fought back with stones, spears, and bows and arrows to soften enemy attacks.

Currently, however, in the center is a heavily armed infantry with no means of ranged attack.

We just have to put up a shield and withstand even enemy attacks.

Where arrows pierce the shields of heavily armed infantry and become useless...

The Medium Cavalry (Catafract) also struck out an arrow.

And...

Finally put up the spear and start the assault.

"Intercept!!

Three battalions of medium cavalry (cataphract) and three battalions of heavy infantry clash on the battlefield.

The result is…

It was a triumph for the Medium Cavalry (Catafract).

Originally the heavily armed infantry of the Kingdom of Cerda had a shield, which, on the other hand, was strong for long-range attacks, had to shorten the spears due to weight problems and, on the contrary, was vulnerable to cavalry assaults.

Now that I've lost my shield due to the cavalry fire...

The heavy-duty infantry of the Kingdom of Cerda is nothing more than a spear soldier with a spear that is too short to receive a cavalry.

Speed + weight.

Overwhelming destructive power causes the Medium Cavalry (Catafract) to crush the infantry.

And there comes the late arrival of two battalions of Lemurian army infantry storming.

Go slowly spreading the wound.

"Shit, I don't have a choice! All units, retreat!!

Carmine issued a withdrawal order to the entire army.

And he was solidifying the perimeter of Carmine, speaking to a hundred riders of elite troops.

"Stop the enemy's advance a little more than this. Beast what you can beast!

That's what Carmine ordered, shook up his sword himself and stormed it.

"You've decided a lot. But... Hmm, it's faster than I thought."

Cowardly...... not.

This is evidence that we have a good grasp of the war situation.

It is a testament to the fact that the enemy General Carmine is such a brilliant general.

(If possible, I wanted to keep pushing through and surround the right or left wing of the enemy and destroy each... is it easier to honestly aim to expand the impact in the pursuit)

Erkühr makes only a few directional corrections.

"Shehrazard. It's time for us to go backwards..."

It was when Elquille was about to say so.

I roared, and some of my enemies stormed in.

"Tastes bad, an elite unit of the High Beast Clan!

Of the hundred rides, some have become beasts, launching attacks on the whole human horse.

I don't think we can do anything about the war now...

But I think I can do enough to slash Elquille's neck.

"Your Majesty, stand back here."

"... you okay?

"Because Carolina tells me to protect you"

Shehrazard smiled.

Erkühr believes in Shehrazard and decides to temporarily back off.

"Guggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!

I roar and see the beast sticking in my groan...

Shehrazard smiled.

"The beastification of the Beast Nation (Warbeast) is a great, powerful ability..."

Shehrazard waves his sword.

Shehrazard's wielded sword temporarily transforms enemy soldiers' armor and weapons into pure gold, cleaving the brittle spot like butter, with its flesh and bones.

"Poor intelligence is the weakness."

After cutting and killing the hell out of him, Shehrazard screamed.

"Don't be frightened! Perhaps, the enemy is just a beast!! There's nothing to say about dealing with it calmly. Demonstrate the power of the Elves!

The inspiration of the Shehrazard inspired the Cavalry of the Interior (Catafract) to inspire courage.

"Continue to Her Highness the Empress!

"Don't lose with the Beasts!

"Think of the power of our Elves!

The Beasts are destroyed one after the other.

"You're not the only one beastifying, are you? I'll see you with the enemy general."

"... Rumor has it, Princess of Phallus? There's no shortage for them!

Carmine, who had not bestialized himself to take command of the troops, put up his sword.

And cut it off with Sheherazard...

"Gu!

Shehrazard's sword cleaves Carmine's body.

Blood overflows from the flank of Carmine,

"That's it!

Shehrazard waves his sword down to the neck of Carmine.

But the sword was taken along the way.

"General! Please run!!

"But..."

"Do you mind if I let that rapist Joamel like it!

Carmine gave a hazy look to the deputy's words.

And turn back your heels.

"Sorry."

"My lord! I ask for the Kingdom of Cerda.... It's a player change, long-eared bastard!

The deputy bestialized and attacked Shehrazard.
