Lesson 29: The Red Wolves

Sometimes it goes back...

The thirteenth day since Elquille crossed the desert.

The day Jebe left the village early in the morning and Erkür and Stefan launched a total attack on the city of Teripol.

It was finally informed to the royal palace of the Kingdom of Cerda that Carmine had been defeated in the Battle of Terripol.

Hilderick II hastily opened a military conference.

In a bitter atmosphere...... Hilderick II opened his mouth.

"How much do you think reinforcements are necessary?

I just have to send out reinforcements.

That alone is a matter of decision.

In contrast, the blue-faced Joamel opened his mouth.

"… I was wondering if we need to leave at least 1000 to deal with the Lemurian army, which is currently approaching the city of Cerda"

"You mean the rest of the force, 5000, should be directed as reinforcements?"

Oddly enough, that was exactly the same force that Carmine led when he lost the Battle of Terripol.

What that means is that the number 5000 is never enough force as reinforcements.

"... Sonia, are you the same?

"If possible, we should turn 6000, not 50000, which means all the troops... that would be difficult given the presence of the Lemurian army raging around in the Ifrican region"

In other words, I agree with 5000 reinforcements.

"I'm worried about the rest."

Hilderick II said in a weak voice.

"... where is the guarantee that this is not a Lemurian army trap? As soon as we have reinforcements, who can guarantee that more than 100,000 troops will not be pushed from the other side of the desert?

……

……

Sonia and Joamel muttered.

We can arrange as many reasons as that is unlikely, but we cannot provide enough grounds to say that there will never be.

Because something has already happened that I assured you would never happen again.

"Besides, the Lemurian army, now raging around the Ifrichian region, marches over a hundred kilometres a day, is it an unusual army? I don't think the general is incompetent. … Can anyone affirm that 1000 soldiers cannot be destroyed by their generals?

"Your Majesty. Enemy generals, the army led by Jebe is 3000 to 4000. There is more than double the force difference. I didn't expect to lose so easily..."

"Then Joamel. You need the army to march more than a hundred kilometers a day and double the difference in strength. Which do you think is unlikely? Which one do you think is harder? I suppose the rest is the former?

It's like marching a hundred kilometers a day.

Can you also deny the possibility of adopting tactics that you can't even imagine masking a two-fold or three-fold difference in power?

and Hilderick II went to Joamel.

I can't even tell Joamel anything about this.

Typically, a category is considered early enough if the daily march speed exceeds twenty kilometres.

The speed of march is determined by the morale and skill of the soldier…

The soldiers of the kingdom of Cerda, a military state, are highly morale and highly skilled.

It is therefore sufficiently possible to march at the same level as the army of the Lemurian Empire, about twenty-five kilometres a day. (However, it is difficult to march at unusual speeds like Emperor Lemuria, as the general's wisdom becomes more important when it becomes a super-enforced force that exceeds thirty kilometres a day)

But the speed at which the Lemurian army marches around the Ifrichian region, threatening the capital, ranges from ninety to one hundred kilometres a day.

Its speed is "unlikely".

"Surely reports indicate that the enemy was an elite force composed exclusively of cavalry? Well... but it's still true that it's an unusual army"

Hilderick II said in a sigh.

"... I don't think we should send out reinforcements for the rest. Shouldn't we gather all the soldiers and devote them to defending the city of Cerda and the Ifrichian region here?

"Your Majesty! Then what will happen to the lives of the soldiers and the people of the Teriportanian region, as well as General Iason... and General Carmine!

Joamel complained in a sad voice.

For Joamel, whose support base is the Teriportanian region, the failure of the Teriportanian region, that alone, must be prevented.

"So what happens if the city of Cerda is robbed by an enemy ambush? Our country will perish."

Hilderick II said with a tired face.

Totally to the Lemurian army, I am frightened off by the Lemurian emperor Erkür.

"Your Majesty"

Sonia stood up.

Hilderick II stared at Sonia with his precipitated eyes and said without power.

"You agree with Joamel?

In contrast, Sonia said, staring firmly at Hilderick II.

"I understand your concern. Sure... Whatever happens no longer, it's not strange"

To Sonia's words, Hilderick II opened his eyes.

Because I thought it would be denied head-on.

"I will eliminate the enemy general Jebe. Absolutely, even in lieu of this life, let's get rid of him from this Ifrichian region. So don't worry, I'll give you permission to send 5000 soldiers as reinforcements. Sire."

After that, 4500 new soldiers were directed to the city of Teripol...

Joining the 5000 soldiers who headed ahead to lift the blockade, a total of 5000 soldiers headed to destroy the Lemurian army that besieges the city of Teripol and rescue the Carmine and Teripol defense forces.

Most……

In a few days, they will know that the city of Terripol has fallen.

"You're doing better than I thought, Captain!

"Don't be alarmed. The enemy is already moving."

The fourth day after an independent guerrilla unit led by Jebe carried out sabotage activities within a hundred kilometres of the city of Cerda.

So far, the Jebe army has been able to deal effective damage to their enemies without much damage.

It has already burned several food depots and threatened enemy barracks if it raided transport units.

Jebe had skilfully dived through the enemy's siege net and, conversely, had launched an ambush attack, striking the enemy.

Up to a hundred kilometres a day, at least forty kilometres, against the Jebe army who march......

The army of Cerda is precise, twenty-five kilometres, even if it is impossible, about thirty kilometres.

We can't catch up with this, we can't siege it.

All you have to do is shower your enemies and leave the front immediately.

"But the enemy won't have a big general anymore, will he?

"No... there's one"

Jebe came from Elquille beforehand...

To be precise, I recall the information brought to me by the machinissa of the Barbal tribe, which has engaged the Kingdom of Cerda many times.

I am in the Kingdom of Cerda, there are three generals to watch out for.

One is Carmine, a warring general.

The other is a young genius general, Iason.

But these two aren't even as big a threat, Macinissa said.

Both are excellent generals, but only "normally" excellent generals, he said.

Carmine is experienced and highly sought after, but she is not exceptionally talented, and only a very ordinary soldier.

Iason is blessed with talent, but lacks experience, and it's hard to say that people's expectations are thick in flattery.

Each of the decisive weaknesses exists.

Therefore, it should be noted that…

Just one.

"'Princess Red Wolf' Sonia, I have her"

Sonia lupus gayceria.

He is the fiancé of the current king, Hilderick II......

And she is the girl who hits Carmine's daughter.

Only a girl of this age seventeen, Macinissa said, beware.

"Not yet, is she, little girl?

"Don't you know the age at which His Majesty the Emperor defeated General Darios?

That's what Jebe said back to his men who underestimate the seventeen-year-old girl.

Everyone will shut their mouth about this.

"According to Lord Macinissa, Princess Sonia's army of becoming the 'Red Wolves' is famous. Anything, General Carmine gave his daughter cuteness, a cavalry made up of the Beasts."

It is like an independent guerrilla force, owned by myself and Nia Lucarios.

And Jebe said.

The slight difference… is that the Red Wolves are private soldiers of Carmine and Sonia.

Most of all, the Kingdom of Cerda is not clearly divided between "I" and "the public".

Because both Carmine and Sonia are under Hilderick II's command and Hilderick II is the king of the Kingdom of Cerda, the 'Red Wolves' are also a splendid army of the Kingdom of Cerda.

"What's red, is that you? Are you wearing red armor?

Dress the elite troops with conspicuous colored armor.

It is something that a seventeen-year-old girl is likely to do.

Most of all, unifying into flashy colors isn't actually such a bad hand.

In the armies of this world, which presupposes intensive methods of warfare in groups, uniforms are more convenient in conspicuous colors so that they can be easily understood by the allies.

Flashy colors can intimidate enemies that much, as well as a sense of union.

"No, they say the colors are white"

"Isn't that the White Wolves, then? Why red?

They say it's because it stains bright red with blood.

The crew were stunned by Jebe's answer.

I felt like that was all I could figure out what a unit called the 'Red Wolves' was like.

"He's not afraid of the dense formation of infantry, of any kind, and he's going to storm directly from the front. That fighting ability is as good as a rabid dog...... yes, it is. Well, it would be exaggerated, but it's still a tremendous combat capability."

It is only certain, at least, that the Barbals have been killed in considerable numbers by the 'Red Wolves' led by Sonia.

"Well, we should be careful, but we should not be overly afraid. We don't have the troops to follow our speed."

Jebe said that confidently.

And to the next destination, run the horse.

One line arrived at was a warehouse temporarily storing munitions.

When the food stored here is burned, the Royal Cerda Army will be temporarily plagued by food shortages, even though it is within its own territory.

Still, it is within our own territory, so the problem will be solved soon…

Enough as harassment.

"Right here. Now... destroy the defensemen, burn them, and then go home."

The 3600 cavalry kicks 100 enemy defensemen, as if they were working.

Shot one after the other...... the defensemen run away to scatter the spider child.

The Jebbes then enter the warehouse and light a packed hemp bag of wheat and barley.

The food being dried for preservation burned up very well.

"Well, this is the last place"

Jebe led his men to open the biggest warehouse.

Gigigigigigigi......

and make a loud noise, and the door of the warehouse opens.

In the dark, Jebe lit up with pine lights.

What was there was a bag of grain piled up like a mountain.

It wasn't.

"First thing you see, General Jebe."

There was a hundred heavy cavalry men in white armor and a girl with an adorable grin.
