There are thick clouds piling up in the sky.
The hot summer sunshine is pleasantly shaded, but it looks like an anxious sky ahead.
I could see Ryshleaf Castle over there. If you really run your horse, you can get there in no time, but of course you can't do that now.
The enemy has welcomed us.
Spiazek 2nd Army, Kindloa Army.
According to the estimates of the warlords, the number of their soldiers is 90,000.
"Three times as much as this one."
"It's more than that, considering the intel."
I'm currently leading the Upper Jaw. The number of troops in the Upper Jaw is about 30,000. However, most of them are locally sourced Shpiazeke people.
By the way, the highest number is the Civil Guard that was procured in the city of Dornia. The city of Dornia can be categorized as the northern part of the Voistra Plain, but many soldiers were left behind because of the suppression of umbrella aristocrats based in the western mountains.
Apparently, the Reishleaf assault is still going on.
It was a mixed voice of relief and anxiety.
The warlords concluded that the number of Spiazek mobilized for the Rishleaf Recapture Operation would be around 150,000. Their rules of thumb, plus the confidential information they retrieved from the city of Vuadberg, make them trustworthy.
If there are 90,000 Kindoros here, there will be 60,000 McNeiths left. It's a simple subtraction.
"I still have to fall." That's good news, but.... "
The battle has finally come to an end, and tensions are rising even if there is no response. I didn't have a conversation.
"...... I wonder if the siege will continue for this period."
Don't you have any idea how McNis and Kindlore can lynch me?... well, when the two armies actually come out, I'll switch to the hit-and-away method and run around, saving Ryshleaf Castle while trying to buy time for reinforcements to invade the North of Voistra.
"It will be emotionally difficult to relax your attack by taking back the Rishleaf Castle." The great shield of Voistra is special to the Spiazek family. ”
I'm sure it's the same for Qualdenze.
Did you notice I was nervous? The First Officer kept telling me to let you know.
"And if you step back here, the umbrella nobleman's house that is looking good will become very noisy."
If we can't recapture Ryshleaf now, the Spiazeiks will be unarmed and partial. Considering external relations, Ryschleaf priority may be an unavoidable decision.
"It's hard to keep face." Were you pushed into the eyes of the people around you? "
The deputy gave a slightly troubled look and laughed lightly.
"Aren't you the one who pushed the young man too?" I'm sure you've heard about Maigeode. "
Come on, I don't know about that.
As far as the lieutenant is concerned, it seems that the Spiazek family gave priority to Ryshleaf Castle even if I did nothing.
"The main purpose is separate. Even if it had the effect of pushing them, it was secondary. It's just a bonus."
That being said, I was relieved that I was able to pull out only the Kindlore army. I didn't want to deal with two dangerous people like my ancestors at the same time.
The Upper Jaw Army and Kindoroa Army gradually approached, and their appearance gradually became clear.
Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, soldiers... there are a tremendous number of humans, but I was able to identify where the enemy unit is by detection magic. At the same time, I feel a little strange.
"... it's weird. I feel like the Kindlore Squad is nearby."
Is it Operation Fang? At that time, the main ancestors were not in the army that attacked Nambonan City, but in the rear. I think it's natural to feel closer than that. "
I see, the most impressive battle for me was the destruction of the Spiazek army in the city of Nambonan. It's also an intense success experience, so I may have unconsciously compared it to you.
"Unlike Vellet, Kindlore is inside the army."
"In a showdown between the main ancestors, their deployment is the most difficult." There is a difference in strengthening. "
As a matter of course, it is more effective to activate Physical Enhancement Magic from a distance than from within an army.
I understood this not only in reason, but also in experience. I am the only one who has led the Voistra Plains City Crash Tour using physical strengthening magic.
"It's not as easy as it looks."
"Ha. The main ancestral soldiers will be hard to sharpen." In this case, the enemy will be able to resupply from behind immediately. The Kindlore army can always fight with 9000,000 men. "
The First Officer says that if you kill 1000 Kindorites, the McNis army will send you a thousand refills. If you keep 90,000 men, you can make sure that you can take the Koldenze Wilk assault, which McNis and Kindor decided was the case.
On the other hand, the Kindlore Army did not need more soldiers. It might have been a natural consequence that I left the rest behind in the Rischleaf assault.
It's a tricky story.
The Kindora faction is quite defensive, like a boss character with an auxiliary auto-healing effect. I could not conquer them forever after I kept attacking them with a twitch.
"Breakthroughs are impossible when the enemy has troops." No matter how young you are, you will definitely be able to stop your feet on the way. As expected, the wall of 90000 is too thick. "
Reminds me of the battle in Nambonan City. The assault of the main ancestor-led force is as powerful as it gets, but it can be obstructed by the proper judgement of the warlords and the correct operation of the soldiers. This time, my ancestor's strengthening magic was on the enemy side as well.
The First Officer insisted that even if I had my magic power, I would never be able to get past it.
"... is it too thick?"
"I can tell that I am very vigilant about young people. Honestly, there are too many soldiers.”
When I met McNeeth in the capital, I guess he estimated my magic power. If I hadn't met her, I might have been able to ask her to be cautious. I don't know what to do now.
"Over time, we'll have more soldiers, but it's a bit more subtle than over there." We can't win a war of endurance. This will be scraped first, and it will become dust. "
There should be more Quoldenze soldiers coming in from the hinterland right now, but we need a lot of time to get to the front line of the Rischleaf. In the first place, we have ordered our invading forces to prioritize the invasion and capture of the northern regions. I can't reach that much.
"The McNis army is in the way..."
Without the Kindlore army, we would have been able to replenish the Koldenze army through the field. However, as long as the McNeiss army is standing in front of Rishleaf Castle, reinforcements will not reach us.
"... but there's nothing I can do about it."
We succeeded in attracting the Kindlore forces. Then we'll have to try as long as we can to reopen it. There is no such thing as a recovery plan in the event of failure.
We will defeat Spiazek Kindloa. For now, that's all we need to think about.
If I could do that, Operation Snake Jaw would end with great success. The McNeiss army alone cannot sustain itself after recapturing Castle Ryshleaf. Once the Kindlore army is destroyed, McNeiss will be forced to retreat.
The ambushers are already ready.
It was obvious that it was impossible to conquer with the offensive method. So I was working on a plan.
The marching Upper Jaw is long and vertical, and I'm in the middle of it. In the airplane analogy, there is a seat around the main wing.
And at the point where the wings of this fictional airplane were extended for a long time, we sent a number of martial arts officers who would become ambushers. They were arranged right next to me and left and right. Due to its distance from the Upper Jaw, the Kindora Army will recognize it as a scout ancestor.
The ambushers will also scout, but that is only a sub-assignment. The true purpose lies in the unexpected attack on the Kindlore army. They have a mana crystal filled with my magic and are waiting for the moment of attack.
This is a reuse of the manal crystals used to tear down the Ark Noah contaminated area. Even if I deposited it with Eve who left it in the village near the fog, it would only cause the treasure to rot, so I collected it firmly.
"I didn't use it in the duel in Nambonan City." I don't think you have such a method of attack. "
I do something similar when I'm riding with Spiazeik Vellet. I asked Knight Gatoren to help me if I was losing.
In the end, the Spiazek army was not aware of its existence because they could have won without using it. That's why I decided to use it here now.
"Pull in the Kindlore army well."
If the Upper Jaw and Kindlore forces clash head-on, we will almost certainly be pushed back. This is nothing but a crowd of crowds.
"I'll leave the decision of retreat to you."
That's why the retreat of the Upper Jaw is natural. No one will doubt the movement. I'm just retreating where I should be.
And the Kindlore army will come forward to beat the Upper Jaw if it is considered dominant. What would happen if the ambushers who deployed left and right at that time stayed where they were without moving? Their position will change from directly beside the Upper Jaw to directly beside the advancing Kindlore army. If you can attract enough, you may be able to take the back instead of the side.
"Pull him down to the throat."
Of course, the Kindlore forces will be alert to the presence of the apparently scouting ancestors on their left and right. However, it was only a vigilance against the ancestors.
"Rolling toxins wear enemies."
Looking at the timing, the left and right ambushers cast their main ancestral attack magic at the Kindor army. Surprise strikes from behind will be shocking. The Kindlore army must be in chaos.
"Finally, I'll take Kindlore's head with the elite 3000." It's an ultra-short showdown. Don't lose your mind for a second when it starts. "
I pierced my tooth and panicked at the pain, swallowing it all at once.
But I don't think everything is going so well. There was a certain amount of winning, but I didn't think things would go according to my calculations on the battlefield.
"If a breakthrough is impossible, proceed immediately." At that time, I will not hesitate to retreat. "
Even if I stabbed him, I wouldn't say that I would destroy the Spiazek family.
I fight for my life.
"Hah. Sure."
"It's hard to tell, but I believe in your wisdom and your experience."
So don't decide to withdraw too soon, don't give up to the limit... I'll implicitly tell you so. Overprotection is unacceptable. The lieutenant nodded in a strange manner.
It's about time.
The Kindlore army in front slowed down. The enemy was as vertical as we were on the move, but eventually they spread out to the side. The Upper Jaw also deploys its troops accordingly.
The two armies have now identified a meeting point.
The battle begins.
When I think of it, I don't even notice the murmur the soldiers make. Tense and excited blood circulates throughout your body, making your heart throb. My own heartbeat is the noisiest thing here.
I wonder what other people are thinking about coming to the battle. When I saw the First Officer holding back next to them, I looked at the enemy with an interesting look on my face.
"... what's the matter?"
Enemy soldiers are upset.
Looking at our forces, it appears that the Kindoros are rambling. When they say that, the average soldier somehow doesn't seem to be wolfing.
Regardless of the fact that they were in a position to obtain information, the general soldiers did not expect that they would be targeted by the attacking side.
It's hard to clean up, isn't it?
The First Officer continued in a sarcastic tone.
"It seems that the general soldier's morale is not very high." It might be frustrating because it's an interception after a long night of attacking Ryschleaf. ”
I think the Ryschleaf attack was alternate, but if we keep attacking for days, we'll be depleted of motivation.
In that sense, the Upper Jaw Army is similar, but the militia of the city of Dornia that we retrieved along the way is relatively healthy, and the morale of the elite 3000 is still high.
"... no, that's not all."
The Spiazek people are already exhausted. I'm tired of this war, not just this battle.
“Can this be surprisingly easy to break through?”
“The first clash could be a good match. But it's impossible to push it off like that.”
At this rate, Warlord Spiazek can get back on his feet without any problems, and it would be wrong to expect low morale from the enemy soldiers, the First Officer said and disgraced me.
"Even if you are a low morale soldier or a weak soldier, you can handle it without any problems... that was the point of the martial arts officer's skill?"
Huh, that's right.
And the lieutenant laughs unbeatably.
"Of course, we're not going to lose."
I also say that I should re-shake it when I look at people. The weak soldier problem might be more serious on our side. After all, I'm leading a raiding party.
For now, it is moving without any problems, but it was well thought out that triggered by trivial things, morale was going down.
"I trust your skills."... but I think it's my job to turn weak soldiers into strong soldiers. "
Raising the soldiers' morale will be part of the general's job.
“The name of the young man is widely known here. This will be a great help to our soldiers. I thought it would be enough just to stand majestically."
The lieutenant says you don't have to worry too much.
I think she is distracted by the morale of her slave ancestor's soldiers and is concerned about the influence of intimidation and magic activation, which is her original job.
"Just a little boost before the war starts." Please give me a signal when it's a good time to get along. "
The timing is important when it comes to making a statement. After seeing the lieutenant nod, I start thinking about the inspirational line.
The two armies were finally about to face each other and start a clash. It didn't matter when the lid of the battle was cut and dropped.
Even though there were so many humans, the consciousness was oriented to one place. There was something called "the moment of war" and it was drifting somewhere on the battlefield... everyone was staring at the void uniformly enough to remember such an illusion.
The First Officer said quietly.
"... Young man, have a courageous word."
This is a stage set up for me and Kindoroa.
Koldenze, Špiazek, Koldenze, Špiazek, all of them performers and spectators.
Don't give Kindlore the lead role. I'll show all my enemies who the hero is by boosting the space.
I ordered the lieutenant to do it.
"Let the soldiers fly the flag."
◆◇◆◇◆◇
The Wilk army moves.
All the Spiazek officers belonging to the Kindoroa Army focused their attention on the move.
"... the inspiration of my own army?"
One Martial Artist Spiazek leaked his voice. I saw all the Wilk soldiers flying their flags at once.
The Wilk army was gathering in order to see. It is reasonable to raise the banner of our own forces and raise the morale of our soldiers.
The warlords immediately understand the intention. What they did not understand were the ordinary soldiers who followed them.
"That banner...!"
The flag was also hoisted in the Rishleaf Castle, where they had been attacking for days. Both sigils are identical.
"Snakes and splashes of water entangled in intersecting spears...!?"
There is no one here who does not know the insignia. I couldn't have been there.
"It was the Kuordenze army!!"
"Why is there a main unit of Qualdentze here!?"
"This is a terrible army!!"
"Weren't we invading!?"
Orders from ordinary soldiers to move around there were the general idea of a military officer. Many Musketeers were reluctant to teach extra things and let the soldiers move on their own. As a result, there was little information that the Wilk army was coming in.
But now that the banner has been hoisted, we will know the true identity of the army that all the soldiers were confronting. There are fewer than 30,000 against 90,000, but that is only the feeling of a musketeer. Thirty thousand is thirty thousand from the ranks of ordinary soldiers who are actually confronted, and there is nothing but a large army.
The shock and confusion ran wavy from front to back.
"Quiet!!"
Of course, that degree of agitation is also expected by Warlord Spiazek. Squad chiefs echoed everywhere in the Kindoroah army.
The next move starts sooner than the rattled Kindlore soldiers calm down.
"I am Qualdenze Wilk!!"
Wilk's frequent voice echoed high through the thick clouds. Louder magic spread its name across the battlefield.
After a moment of silence, the confusion disappeared from the Kindlore soldiers. What emerged instead was a clear fear.
"Dai Shield Split!!?"
"It's the blue demon of Nambonan!!" The blue demon attacked again in an ambush!!! "
A grandson of General Garphis!
"I, I, I, I, I will be killed!!"
The name of the young nobleman "Koldenze Wilk", who was the grandson of Garfis and smashed the shield of Voistra, was also well known to the end soldiers. Some of the Kindoros were taken prisoner in Nambonan City after engaging Wilk's troops. It was inexorable that they were in a state of panic.
As if mocking the chaos, Wilk continues to utter his words with enthusiasm.
"The North of Voistra all went down to Qordenze!" Behold!! My battle results!!! "
The Wilkes lowered the Qoldenze banner to match the line and raised a completely different banner. There were more than one kind of flag.
Few Kindlore soldiers knew all the sigils on those flags. But most people knew at least one kind. Because it is close to them.
"The flag of the city of Vuadberg!"
There's also the city of Barraika!
"That's the city of Maisiorde!" To the city of Fanes!? "
"Oh no!! The city of Torsa...!"
The vast majority of the soldiers who took part in Operation Recapture of the Rishleaf were territory gathered from the northern regions of the Voistra Plains.
The city that Wilk conquered was their home town, or the nearest city to their home village, and if they lived, they had heard of it once. There are many Kindoroan soldiers who are familiar with the city seal painted on the flag.
"Hey! Really!?" Is the flags of the cities of Barraika and Fanes there!? "
Some Kindoroas have been brought from other regions. From the middle of the Voistra Plains, the Wilk Army's flags were not very strong. However, the names of the cities that will be the northern strongholds will rise one after another from the mouths of the colleagues who are right next door. I couldn't have been calm.
"Barraica is my birthplace!! You can't be mistaken!!"
The soldiers from the center were stunned by the words of their colleagues who were about to break down into tears. He was a little more geographically familiar than the others, so he understood the dangers of those cities falling.
"North of Voistra, everything went down to Qualdenze!!"
Wilk repeated the same declaration to stir up confusion.
At the same time, the city flag was lowered and the military flag with the Qordenze pattern was raised again. It was like a metaphor for the fall of the northern city by the Qordenze army.
In fact, this was only concealed by Wilk before he realized that only the flags of the seven major cities existed. But the Kindorians don't know what's going on around here. They began to believe Wilk's words that everything in the north was under the control of Qualdentze.
"Don't listen to falsehoods!! Quiet!! Don't slap the soldiers in vain!!"
Spiazek suppressed the soldiers with a strong tone. However, no one feels uneasy when they hear that our homeland has been taken. The soldiers kept their mouths shut under the orders of the warlords, but they were restless and constantly watching their surroundings.
Wilk answers the questions raised in the soldiers' hearts: why did Qualdentze attack, why did the city that was supposed to be behind fall, and why did it suddenly fall into such a situation?
"Tell the people who are caught in the trap of my grandfather Garfis!!"
It was a way of speaking that placed a lot of emphasis on the "trap" part.
"Regret being lured by Ryschleaf!!" Everything is a trap for the success of this ambush!! Everything is a strategy to free Voistra!! "
Kindloa's face was like a bitter bite to the bold bluff of Wilk.
"Don't be ridiculous...!"
Of course, the upper echelons of Spiazek understood why Wilk made up such a story and its main purpose.
After all, the purpose is to hide the magic defect.
The lieutenant on Kindor's side continued to speak softly.
“Even if we succeed in defending Ryschleaf Castle, it is still a sign of Quordenze's decline.”
As for the Spiazek family, it was assumed that Wilk would come to the rescue of Ryishleaf Castle via the city of Nambonan, and there was no particular problem. Because it is possible to hear the reputation that "Garfis, who developed magic deficiency, abandoned the front line and continued to castle miserably until his grandson came to help him".
If the Spiazek army pushes back the Quoldenze army to Ryishleaf, the nobility in the vicinity will be convinced that Garfis is suffering from a magic defect. If that happens, there will be a radical overhaul of the policy towards the Qordenze family. The tide of aristocratic diplomacy was bound to change.
"The Galphis army retreats in the guise of a magic defect, attracting the Spiazek army to Ryshleaf. Meanwhile, the Wilk army broke through the old Amelia public road and captured the empty northern part of the Voistra plain. Those series of moves were Qordenze's maneuver.... I was wondering if insisting on it would obscure General Garphis' condition."
Wilk chose to cross Amelia Alknor. What if the Spiazek army fails to take the Ryishleaf and take the northern part of the Voistra Plains? At that time, only the result would remain: "Spiazek was caught up in Quordenze's plot".
“We've had reports of similar claims in the cities of Dornia and Mayziode. It must be the West."
After all, other people can only judge the situation in the end. If the Quoldenze forces are carrying out their operations and obtaining results commensurate with them, we will weigh your claims.
Wilk thought there was room for doubt. If we succeed in our plan, we will be able to veil the truth. Most aristocrats say, "I don't think that the Koldenze family, which was supposed to be dominant, will make one or eight maneuvers. Perhaps Garphis developed a magic dysfunction, as the Spiazeiks insisted." But I can't be sure of that. Because the House of Koldenze is getting a lot of results. The question "Gulfis may be alive" can only be solved by confronting the person himself. But House Koldenze won't allow it. The truth is darkness everywhere.
The phantom Gulfis has a strong deterrent effect. None of the nobles would easily take on the Kuordenze family.
"I want to imitate you..."
If you are a young nobleman who decides to act heroically by crossing Amelia Arknoah, you deserve to feel the smelly enthusiasm and eagerness to go beyond Garfis' martial arts. But what Kindoroa felt was his grandson's filthy obsession to use his grandfather's martial name until the end.
"... but let's make sure the kid understands the purpose of McNiss."
That is why the Spiazek army must reclaim Ryishleaf Castle. The result of the battle was a "successful recapture of Rishleaf Castle" that was visible from the outside. If you retreat like this, Wilk's lie that it was a trap will come true.
Kindoroa and Warlord Spiazek were right to think. Wilk's goal is to create a phantom of Gulfis.
However, that consideration was not enough. Wilk wasn't the only “nobleman” of the Zinker-En Empire or the Kingdom of Leviath trying to convey his words.
And the effects are now becoming apparent in the field.
"I knew it! I thought that red demon couldn't quit!"
"We were framed!!"
The lamentations of the Kindoroars hang on to the battlefield.
Even with the retreat from the front line and the Ryshleaf Castle, there were not many soldiers who were watching Garfis. I don't think the battle-scarred generals who have dominated so many battles will end up like this. So much so that Wilk's lies stained their hearts.
The Spiazek militia's morale is not originally high, including that of the Kindroa soldiers. The despair that "Garphis may be alive" instantly devoured their hearts.
Armed Officer Spiazek, who feels the change on his skin, shows a little impatience.
The soldiers are quite shaken up.
“It won't be pulled out, but it's not very good.”
Kindlore uses loudspeaker magic to rebut Wilk. But in the end, it's just a theory. Wilk claims it was a maneuver, and Kindlore claims it was Gulfis' magic defect.
It was an eternal parallel. It is the claim of the winner that is right. The moment where a line intersects a line is the moment of battle.
At that time, the intense magic diffusion with murderous intent ran through both armies almost simultaneously.
"Ugh...!!!"
In response to the intimidation that had finally begun, Warlord Spiazek stood up unexpectedly.
The vicious pressure to crush their souls makes their hearts cold all at once. The scale of the intimidation far exceeded that of the usual ancestors.
”HI, hiiii!!”
The Kindlore soldiers are no longer in a state of confusion, but simply shivering with fear. They put their lives at risk because they put direct malice in their mouths.
Resisting the intimidation of the Lord's ancestors requires a strong will or an ally of the Lord's ancestors. Kindlore soldiers weren't strong enough to resist the pressure of Wilk. For them to become mentally rattled, a strong man was necessary to support them.
Don't frustrate me!
Warlord Spiazek does not miss the sway.
"Don't be a coward!!"
The enthusiasm begins here and there with the troops.
"Don't be afraid!!"
The words are well founded.
"Blessing lies with those who stand up to it!!!"
The general of the Kindoroah Army is Spiazek Kindoroah, who has the power of the main ancestor. Kindlore soldiers are spurred by the fact.
The only way to escape the unbearable pressure from the enemy is to rely on Kindor. I have no choice but to slave.
Don't frustrate me!
"Don't be a coward!!"
"Don't be afraid!!"
To take refuge in the Lord's ancestors, you must confront them. You will not be saved from this fear if you do not face it.
"Blessing lies with those who stand up to it!!!"
Kindorois grips the weapon with a painful twist on his face.
The fact that he was able to maintain a minimum of morale made him relieved.
"...... It was dangerous, but you brought it back."
"But being a weak soldier doesn't change anything." It's forbidden to be alarmed. "
My morale was much more depressed than the warlords expected, so it took me a long time to get back on my feet.
Is the enemy clear?
As far as they can tell, the morale of the Wilk army is high. For this reason, I had completed the inspiration of the soldiers and decided that they were in a position to face the battle.
Therefore, the next event was unexpected.
"That's..."
A small group appears from the back of the Wilk army. The composition consisted of a riding Wilk and a dozen dismounted martial arts officers.
When the group appeared on the front line of the Wilk army, it moved forward a little and then stood still. The appearance of Wilk could easily be confirmed by the Kindlore army.
"What are you going to do...?"
Do you intend to strike a forced breakthrough in a simultaneous assault, or do you intend to seek a peace through discussion? Spiazeke is a military officer who has been swayed by Wilk's peculiarities. They waited with great vigilance for the next move.
"Hey, hey...! Something's coming out!"
The Kindlore soldiers also noticed a group of Wilk.
At first, the soldiers were peeking at each other noisily, but gradually the noise became small. Without showing any movement, I was squeezed by the nervousness of my superiors and the appearance of an enemy general who reigned supreme.
……
It was a strange sight.
The area where the two armies face each other with a total of 120,000 troops is quiet with confusion.
As if waiting for that silence, Wilk pulled out his sword, which was silently lowered to his waist. Glitteringly, it was a water snake's sword.
Holding the treasure sword in one hand, Wilk slowly pushed the tip of the sword into the distant sky. The silver eyes were also looking far ahead.
"......!"
That attitude only heralds “progressing beyond the Kindoroas.” At the same time, it was a provocation against the Spiazek army.
"We are the Liberation Army!!"
Wilk's voice rang across the battlefield.
"We are the ones who liberate Voistra!"
Wilk kept speaking, as if he were going to kill all his enemies.
In response, the soldiers of the Wilk army screamed a little later.
"We are the liberators of a people oppressed by oppression!!"
Wilk's inspiration was unheard of.
O people who suffer from heavy taxes!!
It is not a word that imposes a fight.
O people hurt by war!!
It is not a word that makes a soldier kneel.
A people who can endure bad governance!!
It is not a slave word for the weak.
"Their hometown is now!" You were freed by our hand!! "
It is the word that speaketh unto the people.
"Their hometown is now!" I was freed from the never-ending oppression!! "
It was a speech addressed to the Spiazek people.
"We are the Liberation Army!!"
Wilk repeats the same line.
The simplified language creates pale expectations in the minds of the Kindoros.
"We are the ones who liberate Voistra!"
The city of Nambonan, which defied the Quoldenze family, is alive and well, and its citizens still live in peace... many Kindoroans have heard such rumors. Few have actually witnessed its prosperity as a prisoner of war.
And Wilk claims to have conquered and liberated all the northern cities of Voistra...
"We are the liberators of a people oppressed by oppression!!"
Perhaps my hometown will be able to escape the battle like the city of Nambonan... One of the Kindoros suddenly thought so.
"Their hometown is now!" You were freed by our hand!! "
Perhaps the families and lovers I left behind could live in peace... One of the Kindoros suddenly thought so.
"Their hometown is now!" I was freed from the never-ending oppression!! "
Perhaps if Koldenze wins, he'll be free of this needy life... One of the Kindoros suddenly thought so.
"We are the Liberation Army!!"
It is a speech to raise the morale of the Nambonan soldiers, encourage the locally procured militia, and make them aware of the parties. However, the voice was definitely echoed by the Kindlore soldiers.
They didn't originally want to fight.
Because it was the Lord's order, and because it was the order of a powerful man, I was only barely in slavery. The Kindlore soldier's power to hold the weapon had fallen off, and his legs had grown heavier.
Kindlore begins to intervene in Wilk's speech. The cry of loudening magic reflected on the heavens and resounded on the earth. It was like a reprimand for a soldier with a pale hope.
But Wilk didn't even put it on his teeth.
"We are the ones who liberate Voistra!"
The general of his army sees only Koldenze Wilk.
The admiral of the enemy army sees people living in the land of Voistra.
The Kindoros knew the difference.
Just as the slave ancestor does not expect from the slave ancestor, neither does the slave ancestor expect from the slave ancestor. Because I instinctively understand that I can't let the powerful get what they want.
"We are the ones who liberate the people from oppression!!"
But now the Kindoros are expecting it. Before the ancestor, who speaks to the slave ancestor, I found the light.
"... please... please...!"
The mouth of the Kindoroas filled with prayer-like thoughts.
They stared at Wilk as if they were eating him. Wilk was expecting something from the Kindoros, just like they were expecting from Wilk.
If I meet those expectations, will you also meet my expectations? They wanted to know that. I had no choice but to listen to the lines that were repeated.
"These guys...!?"
A soldier in his own army looked at the enemy with envy. It was when Warlord Spiazek noticed it.
O people of Voistra!!
Wilk entered the final stage of his speech.
O people oppressed by the wicked lord!!
Coming here, Warlord Spiazek finally realizes that the target of the speech is Kindorois. I noticed that Wilk was planning to neutralize the generals.
To the extent that it demoralizes them, it is a little too far for the nobility to make a speech for the sake of nostalgia. It can be said that the ancestors of the Lord have excessive expectations of the slave ancestors. It is against their common sense for the strong to rely on the weak. As a result, the Musketeer's reaction was delayed.
"Retreat! I'll forgive you for your mistakes!!"
The mind of the Kindoroar soldiers boils over.
"Retreat! I'll forgive you for your sins!!"
It is not a treason, but an invitation to flee.
"Retreat! I'll forgive you for your life!!"
You don't fight, you just run away.
"Now, respond to my voice!!"
And Wilk said.
A new people of Qualdentze!!!!
Its last call became the prelude to its collapse.
"... oh, I don't want to fight!!"
A Kindlore soldier says so, throws his weapon away and tries to leave his unit. Of course, Warlord Spiazek couldn't have missed it.
"What are you doing!"
The fugitive was quickly cut off from his back.
It is a punishment that is not uncommon in the army. The showdown was supposed to work effectively to lift up the ranks. If it is normal.
This time, however, the situation was completely different.
"HIHHHH!! I don't want it anymore!!"
"Everybody run!! Run away!!"
"We are already citizens of Qualdentze!" I won't fight!! I'll save you!! "
"Please help me!! Please don't!!"
It was the moment when Warlord Spiazek moved to contain the panic-stricken soldiers.
The Wilk army launched a simultaneous assault.
◆◇◆◇◆◇
The Kindlore army is shaking.
I was going to boost my own morale and demoralize the enemy forces, but it was far more effective than I could have imagined.
Anyway, we can't afford to miss the opportunity we have now.
I activated Physical Reinforcement Magic on all my troops and ordered a charge.
"I'm going to recruit!! Voistra is free!!"
The distance between the two armies is by no means far. Start marching in no time. The Kindlore army was already on its way.
The original plan was to stay strong and then back off with the flow, but for now, we just have to move on. When I stepped back into the open, I was caught in a surprise strike.
"Justice is in us!! Defeat the wicked lord!!"
"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
A group of reinforced upper jaws finally clashed with the Kindlore army.
The sound of clashes between the two armies and the roar of the soldiers echoed all around. The loud volume shakes the object and excites the upper jaw soldier.
"Dress the enemy!!!"
Did they really jump into the enemy forces? It's as easy as that to go ahead. It's like pressing a hot knife against butter.
The Kindlore soldier is melting, which gives me the illusion.
Haha!
"Hmph!!! Don't lick it!"
A violent metallic sound that pierces the tympanic membrane rattles everywhere. It was the sound of an engagement with ancestral soldiers lurking inside the Kindoroah army. Koldenze's auxiliary warlords are suppressing anyone who tries to obstruct the advance of the Upper Jaw Army.
I kept going while they kept fighting. Go to Kindlore main unit and move forward.
Enough soldiers to think about it!
I laughed unexpectedly at the excitement of the battle.
Earlier, the lieutenant said that 90,000 soldiers were too thick, but not enough.
The Kindlore army is overmanning the army. It must have been my vigilance. However, because of this, Spiazek's side had one major weakness.
"Contain it many to one!" Kill him for sure!! "
Without being told to do so by the First Officer, my servants jumped at one of the Spiazeik servants lurking around and showed them a lot of violence.
"Ugh... you guys... gaaa!!"
Blood splashes dance through the battlefield. The battle between the ancestors only increased in intensity.
"Don't deal with it alone!! Gather allies and hit... don't lick!!"
Two Kouldenze Ancestral Soldiers attack the Knight-like figure diagonally in front of them. While looking sideways, one more person jumped. It will be possible to defeat one side to the other with three to one.
This is the weakness of the Kindlore army.
Too many soldiers have been deployed across the army, resulting in a low density of ancestors. It might be the best configuration for a long battle, but if you launch a charge like this, its fragility will be highlighted.
Of course, they would normally have had enough defense to absorb my assault. Rather, it may have become a trap to lure them deeper into and crush them. But now that the Kindoros are falling apart, it was just butter.
"Next enemy!!" Let's take it down immediately!! "
Our warlords are responding quickly to the successive appearances of Spiazek's ancestors.
According to the detection magic, the enemies' ancestors rushed to the Kindoroah main unit in a great hurry. Some of them were headed straight for us to stop the Upper Jaw. The timing of the arrival of the incoming servants was fragmented, and as a result, they were gradually putting in force. I ended up destroying each of them in front of the Upper Jaw.
"Run away!!!"
I can hear Kindlore soldiers screaming. I incited the enemy to flee in front of them with loud-moving magic, and inspired the Upper Jaw Soldier even more. When I took a breath, the First Officer shouted.
"Young man!! It's Kindlore!!"
Close. And fast.
"Soldiers are on the verge of destruction! The patriarchs have the upper hand!!"
Originally, there would be some "usable soldiers" near the main ancestors. However, the Upper Jaw's march had not slowed down at all.
I took a large number of Spiazeik army engineers prisoner in Operation Snake Fang and hired them without returning them. It was virtually a pull-out. Therefore, the Kindlore army might not have enough "usable soldiers" in the first place.
Move forward!!
With that in mind, I've stepped up my speed toward the front of the unit. You'll need my help to defeat your ancestors.
Forward!
The physical strengthening magic I gave to my soldiers was even stronger.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
The soldiers advance.
Forward!!
I raise my voice to inspire myself.
"Forward heh!!!"
The soldiers' voices continued. A roaring, loud voice snapped across the earth.
"Move forward!!!!"
Kindlore was in front of me. It wasn't a magic detector, but I could see it with my own eyes. The First Officer has issued a new order.
"Unroll the forbidden weapon!!!"
It was a signal.
I narrowed down the target of my Physical Reinforcement Magic. The target is the elite 3,000 people who have followed from New Nelly City. I decided to entrust the strengthening of the other soldiers to my ancestral warlords.
To fully utilize the physical strengthening magic of the Lord's ancestors, it is necessary to have a strong will and high morale. I trusted them to withstand my reinforcements.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!"
The greatest physical enhancement envelops them. Their dramatic abilities and exhilaration surround them.
The elite 3,000, led by me, came to the forefront together. I raise my voice.
"We are the liberators of a people oppressed by oppression!!!!"
Previous.
"We are the ones who liberate Voistra!!!!"
Previous.
"We are the Liberation Army!!!!"
Move on.
"Ahhhh!! Damn kid!!"
Kindloa, who rides and holds a weapon, is meatless.
"Eek!!"
The first officer's voice echoed. The Numbonan soldiers, with their maximum fortification, placed their forbidden weapons together.
"Back off!!!"
Kindlore's intense murderous intent was diffused with magic.
Intimidation from close range caused some of the upper jaw soldiers in the rear to lose consciousness and collapse.
"We are the Liberation Army!!!"
It was the call of the Nambonan soldiers.
Their will to fight is unshakable. Even before the murderous intentions of the ancestors of the Lord, his will was not broken.
Holding the forbidden weapon, the Nambonan soldiers simply wait for me.
"I am Qualdenze Wilk!!!"
A hot feeling gushed up from the back of my chest. Is this a feeling of exhilaration?
I took a strong hold of the Lord's ancestor's weapon. The spear, which is shaped like a giant sword, is a type of forbidden weapon.
"Young man!!!"
For an instant, I felt that the noise was mixed in with the sway of magical power covering Kindor's body.
Using as a medium the forbidden weapons of the Numbonan soldiers, the warlords activated their magic sabotage.
A perfect formation with a minimal crushing formation.
Even if I approached them, I wouldn't be able to use any magic at the counter.
I'm moving on.
To decide everything with this blow.
Previous.
"Make way for my way!!! Spiazek Kindloa!!!"
"Qualdenze!!!"
Strengthened my whole body, I waved my spear. The cutting edge hits the enemy's left shoulder.
Heavy. The blade will bounce back to the snug hardness of the Lord's ancestors' flesh.
But I've been through this terrible feeling before. I swung my spear to the end, trying to chew it apart with every discomfort.
"Whoa...!"
All the way from the left shoulder to the right flank. The perfect slash was decided.
"Ohhhh!!!"
I can hear my heartbeat. The creepy response that torn the Lord's ancestors apart continues to remain in my hands.
”Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Everything is reflected in the slow motion. Kindlore's body, divided in two, fell off the horse and rolled to the ground.
"It was a young man's victory!!!! Raise your head!!!"
The lieutenant's voice was thinly heard.
Achievement and excitement are mixed, and thinking does not work well. But all I know is that if I keep silent, the army won't tighten up.
I gave up thinking and held my spear high.
The coating of the blade was completely burnt and worn out. Looking at it, the red liquid drips according to gravity.
It was Kindlore's blood.
I feel terrified without thinking of the slimy feeling of the hand. But this is what I got. I will not turn my eyes away.
Bloodborne crusade to support Spiazeik.
Now I've done it.
◆◇◆◇◆◇
"Dear Milord, I've been crushed to death...!"
The McNeiss army attacking Ryshleaf Castle soon learned of the obituary.
The battlefields of the Wilk and Kindlore armies are at a distance from the McNeiss armies. For this reason, the transmission of information was also quick.
The martial arts officer in the situation report continues to report to McNeiss with a rash expression on his face.
"The Wilk army is approaching!" The number of troops has been reduced to about 10,000, but... it's a tremendous speed!! "
After defeating Kindoroah, Wilk regrouped his troops on a quick pitch for Castle Rishleaf.
There were 90,000 Kindoros left with no place to go, but they were completely abandoned. I had no time to incorporate such an uncertain soldier.
I don't give McNeith's army time to think. I chose to go with only the minimum number of soldiers required.
"...... I understand"
McNiss looked up at the sky.
The clouds are much thicker and darker than before. It was still a shade of rain.
"When you retreat,"
There was no longer any point in sticking to Rishleaf Castle. On the contrary, the Spiazek family decided that it was difficult to maintain the whole of the Voistra Plain. I had to make a decision.
As the head of the Spiazek family, it is an unforgivable situation. But we must admit it.
"Via the western part of Voistra, retreat to Othelonia. The pursuit of the enemy will be fierce. Losses must be kept to a minimum.”
The Wilk army will aim for the back of the retreating McNeiss army. In anticipation of the showdown in Ossetia, one of them will be able to kill many of the Spiazek warlords.
Even a small number of ancestors would be fatal. In some cases, the city of Ossetia may fall without even being able to fight.
Our future defensive strategy will change depending on how many soldiers we can sustain as we retreat. The idea of defending Ossellia was pictured on McNeiss's head.
The Wilk army is small. They decide it's best to crash once and for all and retreat.
"Enemy breakthroughs beyond 9000 are dangerous. Thicken the front."
Hah!
The Rishleaf Siege has been interrupted and the McNeiss army is regrouping. It took a little while to rearrange 60,000 troops, but we were able to get them ready before the Wilk army arrived.
……
It was at that time.
McNice's detection magic sensed incoming magic from behind.
"Damn it...!"
Is it a shock from losing my father, or is it a pessimism about Spiazek's dark future that has become realistic? McNeiss had left Ryshleaf Castle completely unconscious for a while.
"Milord!... Spin your soldiers backwards!!"
There was a force approaching behind the McNeiss army on its way to the Wilk army.
It is less than a hundred riders. However, there were all the Koldenze ancestors left in Ryshleaf Castle.
"Galphis is coming out!!"
Running at the head of the unit was Qoldenze Gulfis, a red demon with a furious appearance.
Whether he was stimulated by his grandson's bravery or whether his fighting instincts were evoked before he had the chance, his body was now reviving its magic power.
Those very few elite units are faster to maneuver than McNister's.
"Know our grudges!!" MAKNISHUHH!! "
The next moment, the magic of super firepower exploded under Ryschleaf Castle.
