Act 61 - Hunting Season - The
Having wiped out the Mills squad, the Independent Cavalry Regiment protrudes its fierce fangs for its next prey. He was chosen by...
"What? You found Reaper's unit?
Major General Listenberg, who leads four thousand soldiers, raises his voice full of surprise at the words of the scouts. It seems that Reaper's troops are flying high flags and marching dignified toward the future. That number, roughly three thousand.
"Is that really Reaper's unit?
"I saw a girl wearing pitch-black armor walking at the head of the unit. Her hair is also silver. If the appearance you tell is not false, I'm pretty sure it is."
Listenberg nods to Eagle Fling towards the scouts who I assure you.
"Okay. Thank you for reporting. Continue with your opponents."
"Ha!"
Speaking to his deputy Heinel, who was listening next door, glancing at the running away scouts.
"What do you think?
"There can't be such a thing as a silver-haired girl in pitch-black armor. As the scouts put it, it would undoubtedly be Reaper's unit. I thought it might be dangerous to leave him alone."
In response to Heinel's suggestion, Listenberg wraps his arms around his thoughts. I tried to cross the blades a few times. Okay, but the Seventh Army isn't strong enough to make you feel threatened.
Although highly skilled and controlled, there was no significant difference compared to the third and fourth armies. Objectively speaking, they are a few steps inferior to the Red Knights.
But a unit led by Reaper should be considered completely separate. In just two months, a number of troops deployed everywhere were destroyed.
The Red Knights, too, have Volmer's troops at risk of devastation. Heinel's right, it's very dangerous to let the Reaper troops go wild like this.
(His Excellency Rosenmarie seems to enjoy meeting with Reaper, but we can't let him risk such a dangerous imitation)
With several victories, the troops' morale was showing enough boost. The number of soldiers is also winning. In a way, I'd say it's a shame we found Reaper here. This is a great opportunity to launch an attack.
"All right, my unit goes after Reaper's unit more than this. Overthrow them with the prestige of the Red Knights."
"Ha!"
-Two hours later.
When the Listenberg troops plugged into the canopy, they began to see the enemy. Listenberg frowns as a slight twist spreads to the troops.
Because Reaper's troops had already deployed a dense formation. Probably sensed at some point that this one was coming after us.
The only thing that's impossible is the fact that you're arraying a cliff on your back.
"What the hell does that mean? That's like telling me to shove it down a cliff. I don't think it's sanity."
Heinel said as if he was frightened. Listenberg thinks the same thing.
"Are you trying to say it's a leeward formation? Stupid. Apparently it was too much for me."
"How would you like it?
"Let the soldiers expand wide to the left and right, releasing arrows from mid-range. Keep it up, Reaper. I'm going to knock you all out to the bottom of the fallout."
"Ha!"
Under the Heinel decree, arrows are unleashed simultaneously toward the forces of the Reapers. But the enemy stretched out a great shield to envelop the whole squad, bouncing all the arrows back. A useless move as if you were reading about this attack. When you can consolidate your defense so far, it doesn't make sense how many arrows you fired.
On the contrary, they shot an arrow from a slight gap, and on the contrary, this soldier was killed. Even if we keep on attacking the same, the damage just increases.
"My lord, it is not clear."
"I know. Smart imitation. Have the attack switch to spear. Hit him directly into the bottom of the Narrow while you siege the enemy half way!
"Ha!"
Heinel raised his voice and ordered the spear soldiers to storm.
"Apparently, the enemy has moved exactly as Ashton was looking for."
To Claudia's words, Ashton nods lightly. He deliberately let scouts discover this one and succeeded in luring enemy troops.
The enemy gives up an attack by bow and arrow, approaching with a spear. It would be a decision to throw him directly under the cliff while he drove him up with a spear.
"So far so good. We'll have the two of you cut ahead, just like we did in the meeting."
"Oh, leave it to me. Huh, don't let your arms buzz."
"Ashton, I'll do my best."
Claudia smiles invincibly and Olivia laughs with Nico. Seeing how those two were, Ashton smiled unexpectedly, too.
My old self couldn't have laughed in this situation. Sometimes I'm with you two, but I guess Ashton has gotten used to the war himself.
Whether that's good or bad is another story.
"Then let's move on too - we'll break through the middle of the enemy!
Along with Ashton's signal, the Independent Cavalry Regiment began its assault at once. The Red Knights showed an agitated movement and their feet stopped for a moment. Olivia and Claudia do not miss that opportunity and split the center as they wave their swords abruptly.
Ashton also follows desperately with his sword behind with one hand as a blood splash strikes around the two of them. The Red Knights also resolutely fight back, but they don't get to stop the two legs.
"Now!
Claudia gave the order when she saw a corner of the enemy collapse. Olivia begins to rip the neck of a blocking enemy at an unstoppable speed - successfully breaking through the center. The soldiers that followed split left and right in an undisturbed motion.
Ashton blows his trumpet and informs him that the operation has moved to the next phase. The avant-garde unit set up a large shield, and the rear guard unit began to turn arrows.
"Moving the operation to the final stage. We're going to push our enemies at once!!
Claudia's ringing voice echoed.
An instantly semi-surrounded Listenberg unit. The allies are gradually hunted down the cliff under the attack of an uninterrupted arrow. It is regrettable that I did not come here and prepare a great shield. In such a vivid manner, Listenberg understood that he had finally fallen into the enemy's way.
"Yep. Is the leeward formation just a trick? Smart imitation everywhere."
"My lord! As it is, we will be plunged under the cliff!
Heinel screams as he looks back. Listenberg tours thoughts and makes instant decisions. And laughed furiously.
"Then we just have to do the same. Deploy a dense formation! We'll break through the center of the enemy and hunt them down the cliff again!
"Ha! Immediately!
At Heinel's behest, dense formations are immediately formed.
Although.
"Now! Fire! Fire!
As the young soldier raised his hand, a tremendous number of fire arrows came down. An upset spreads among the soldiers.
"My lord!
"Don't panic! The ability to kill fire itself is never high. Deal with it calmly!
Listenberg scolds. The soldiers quickly gather their agitation and fly the fire arrows with small shields and swords.
But something happened that I didn't expect. The moment the fire arrow touched the ground, the momentum burned.
In sudden events, the soldiers are swallowed by the flames without exchanging.
"─ Huh!? Why flames from the ground!?
Hainell raising her voice full of amazement. Listenberg instantly realized. that large quantities of oil had been sprinkled on the ground in advance. But I just realized it was already too late. We've just laid a dense formation, and there's no escape from the flames that spread.
As if to prove it, some bury themselves in the flames, while others fall to the bottom of the cliff in flimsy footsteps, wrapped in flames.
The screams of the soldiers struck one tree after the other.
"Knock..."
"Or, my lord?
"Brilliant. Attack after reading through our movements. All I can say is that you are brilliant while you are enemies."
Listenberg's words could never go on until the end. Because the flying arrow pierced my throat and gave me a lame end.
"My lord!?
Heinel, who rushed over, was also desperate, pierced by countless arrows.
"Enemy troops are out of control at the earliest, aren't they? Perhaps the commander is already dead."
Next to Olivia shooting an arrow, Claudia says as she looks over at the enemy.
"Never be alarmed until the end. Because I say bite a cramped cat. Of course, if you bite me, I'll crush you."
"Ha!"
Most of the enemies fell off the cliff as if burning to death with flames or even seeking water. Slightly surviving enemies are either thrusting into the shit or just turning right and left to achieve just the right result.
Claudia's right, there seems to be no more commanders to defuse the mess.
"In the end, you don't know where the main unit is."
I can't help what's dead. Thanks to the operation planned by Ashton, the Independent Cavalry Regiment has done little damage. We have succeeded in sharpening the enemy's power, and that alone should be good.
Don't be greedy about anything. Delicious rice and sweet treats, too.
"Captain, I discovered the enemy's troops just down the road."
Gaussian breathes watching the enemy. Apparently, the soldiers who were putting out on the scouts have also returned safely.
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work - then take a break for a while after you've killed all the rest of your enemies. Then I'll go hunting for my next prey."
"Ha!"
─ ─ Then two hours later.
Now. With black smoke about to rise, the Independent Cavalry Regiment began marching again for its next prey.
