The Branded Female Fencer
Missing Talent, Part 23 - Night Assault ② -
Eventually, the Alphilis arrived near the enemy position. Before them, I can see the formation that lit the bonfire. The shadows are the ones I can't see directly, but I guess there are more people in the back than I can confirm the smoke cooking.
Alphilis called Lisa aside.
"Lisa, do you know what's going on inside?
"You can't, there's just a strong bond. I was wondering if Lisa could do more than fleshlight."
"What about the other troops?
"I've been contacted by a sensor I put on another unit. All units are ready."
"Then I will storm soon. Keep that in mind."
"Okay."
Alphilis saw the formation again with his own eyes. I can't see anything that has turned into a formation. Enough to know that the crest of a four-minute (Quotari) shield on the tent does belong to Vesel. The formation is quiet. There are several soldiers on the lookout. To some extent. Are you depressed by your morning defeat?
Alphilis kept an eye on the formation for a while, but he was unlikely to get any more information. I'm not sure of the victory. At a time like this, I think Alphilis wants someone to talk to. Personnel with a reciprocal view, who can be consulted about the strategy. She's also glad that other faces put her trust in Alphilis, but if she's wrong, the pressure on Alphilis is so great. Lisa is a conversational person, but she doesn't have a strategic eye. Rosetta also has experience, but many decisions are made by instinct, not by reason.
When Alphilis exhaled loudly, he cemented his resolve. I should have been ready to be a streak of these decisions, by the way. When Alphilis nods toward Lisa, the sensor just flies. Alphilis took the lead and started walking.
"Good, that I won't pull out my sword until it's too late. Because light might reflect in the moonlight."
"Ooh."
A conversation that is exchanged with a whisper. The Alphilis snuck into formation trying to hide in the bushes. And when I get to the point where I'm dozens of steps to the tent, I gently pull out my sword. That was the signal.
"Him!"
There is no fence in the enemy formation. When the Alphilis jumped in simultaneously, they slashed into as many enemies at once. But even with the slaughter, I just saw a few lookouts escape, and I can't see a response from within the formation. But there must be people at the source of the smoke cooking, and the smoke penetrates the goal.
"Alfi, this is..."
"Yeah, that's crazy."
Shortly after Alphilis and Lisa had such a conversation, they reached the source of the smoke cooking. But there was only fire and smoke, but there was not a single figure.
"No, it's still a trap!
Shortly after Alphilis screamed, bronze and marching horns rang simultaneously from the surrounding woods. Alphilis mercenaries are upset by the volume to the point.
"Everybody retreat! Turn back the way you came right away!
"No! The exit route is already blocked!
"How many enemies?
"Unknown. Many cavalry from around!
"Take a dense formation! Prepare for external enemies from the perimeter!
Under Alphilis' ordinance, the mercenaries formed a circle of around ten men. One unit is around 50 men. The circle should extend to five.
But there was no time to finish forming a circle, and there was a cavalry raid from around, along with the sound of horseshoes. Raid of heavy cavalry in yellow armor with assault spear (Lance). The circles of the Alphilis and the others were pointlessly equal. The circle is lightly destroyed by the onslaught of a cavalry. An attack by a heavy cavalry with momentum is not something an infantry can prevent alone. The mercenaries could not have prevented an attack equal to the penetration of a mass of iron without any preparation. The cavalry is coming from all directions. The circle became more of an outfit.
"What a bunch of them! I can't believe I'm doing this on terrain with a tent up and a bad outlook."
"How dare cavalry not bump into each other. Either you're used to this battle or you're pretty good at it."
"No, I can't support you here! I'm leaving with a little breakthrough. Follow me!
Alphilis thought of the map of Kazas in his head and began to run towards the retreat path that would be closest. Surrounded by forests. If you go into the woods, the cavalry can't come after you. It's the main road. Because a rider can break a neck bone with a tree branch, and horses can't speed out with unstable scaffolding. Now it is night. Without the lights, they decided they couldn't fight.
Do the mercenaries also know, follow the alphilis as they pull down the lights around it. There was a cavalry attacking him in pursuit of Alphilis, but when Alphilis quickly took the whip out, he struck down the horse's foot and tipped the cavalry over. Let it flicker even more. Enemy attack only loosened for a moment.
"Hurry!"
As Alphilis tried to run into the woods, arrows suddenly flew out of the woods. In the meantime Alphilis was small handed and prevented, but an arrow penetrates the neck of the fellow running next to him.
"Ambush in the woods, too?
"Are you completely surrounded"
"Surrender!
Suddenly a sharp voice echoes. It was a knight with a sense of intimidation who showed up following a few horsemen. I can't see the facial expression in my heel, but from the tone of my voice I could imagine that I was quite a knight of the year.
Alphilis glanced back at the knight.
"You're the Admiral?
"I am not a general, but I am one of those who will keep this place. My name is Yellow Knight Valand. I don't have a hobby for taking a woman's life. Proceed with surrender, how about it?
"Well... I don't know what to do."
Alphilis makes between, during which Lisa slaps Alphilis on the back from behind. There doesn't seem to be as many ambushes in the woods. I can't even push myself to breakthrough.
Plus Lisa sends a signal. Alphilis laughed invincibly at Valand.
"Mr. Valand, a gentleman's offer, but I will refuse you."
"Oh, my God! Then we shall be desirous of annihilation."
No, it's a retreat.
There is a shadow flying from the side of Valand. When the shadow struck Valand, he stood to defend her before the alphilis by flying away.
"Are you all right, Alfie?
"Of course, Rosetta. I'll be leaving soon."
"Oh man, Fenna's here too"
More than one arrow flies from the rear of the alphilis. The arrow flickered the Valands, releasing them further into the woods, while the Alphilis stormed into the woods. Valand just dropped that off.
"Captain Valand, would you be so kind?
"I don't mind. Non's least pity was that they chose to escape. But those in the woods are far less far-fetched than Noon.
Plus I got word this morning that the Green Knight, the Tea Knight, was on his way here. It should be time to get to this place. If you encounter them in a forest war, you have no life. "
"I see, whoever you hit, they don't make a difference to dangerous opponents."
"If you still survive, that's luck. I guess that means they're not destined to die yet. Trying your own luck is also exciting. For those without heaven's protection will not survive on the battlefield, no matter how talented they may be."
When Valand looked back at the horse, he went to his soldier's wrap-up just to say the role was done.
