Western Continental Calendar Unknown October 2812 [Eastern Invasion] Part 4:

"" "Assault. No, no, no, no!

With a roar, the knights across the horseback put up spears and rushed one after the other into the battle of Ortomere.

The knight on foot continues after him, swinging the spear in an attempt to widen the gap created by the horseback assault.

"What are you doing! Put up the spear! Keep surrounding him and killing him! Never let them get away with it!

The commander of Ortomere, entrusted with the front line, yelled.

Give precise instructions to the confused men frightened by the horse's assault. His cry cools the heads of the risen knights.

The lives of the front-line commanders were passed on to the commanders of each unit, one after the other, by decree.

"Surround them! Don't let them leave!

Troop leaders who understand the situation verbally reprimand their men.

The soldiers' spears were directed at the horse riders of Zaluda.

"You idiot who doesn't know the way to war! The real price of horseback riding is mobility and thrust! A horse with a stopped leg or something is nothing but conspicuous!

One of the troop leaders, who blocked Zaluda's exit from escaping horseback riding, gave him a fierce grin.

On the other hand, horseback riding has excellent aggression and mobility, while endurance and defense have difficulties.

Fix your whole body with metal armor and run with a man with a weapon. No matter how good the horse is, it's a creature. Naturally, limits exist. Well, it was never supposed to be a smart choice to fight on the spot without leaving while jumping into the enemy formation.

In fact, Zaluda's knights swinging spears on the spot mow the legs of one horse and go horse down again.

Like running a horse, they can only wave a spear on the spot when they are brought into a melee and can't get a distance.

And the price of the assault, which can be considered reckless, is enormous. The knights on foot who followed behind the horseback were crushed by the numbers.

That number had been reduced to half.

"All right! Keep pushing and crushing! The Medal of Merit is as you wish!

The troop leader of Ortomere shouts with a distorted grin on his desire.

Those among the knights who could ride horses were determined to be highly stately. Tackling such people greatly affects postwar merit awards.

I can neither relax nor force his expression. But his expectations will be betrayed in a cruel way.

"Squad leader! It's new!"

"Nah! What!?

I heard a subordinate report. The troop leader's brain freezes for a moment.

That was because it was too unexpected a report.

"What do you do!? They're gonna pinch us back and forth like this!

Even if his men didn't tell him, he fully understood the dangerous position he had been placed in.

To deal with a new unit, you have to turn the direction of the unit backwards.

But if you do that, you'll show the surrounding Zaluda knights the gap.

(I have no choice... do I have to split the troops back and forth...)

There are few means you can take if you have enemies back and forth. And his judgment was never wrong. But he's not left with the means or the time to break reality.

He made irrevocable mistakes when he was distracted by his men's words and thought about countermeasures.

Something cold chooses his belly.

The noise around him disappeared from his ear. And the feeling of something raw and warm slipping off my skin from around my stomach.

There is no pain. However, surprise and fatigue loosing power in his body dominated his body.

"You…"

At the next moment, a spear is pushed hard into his belly.

The last thing his eyes captured in an uninterrupted consciousness was the eyes burning in the hatred of the knight of Zaluda, who returned his own blood and dyed it bright red with blood, and the appearance of his men striking the body of that knight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About 1,000 troops have been newly attacked by a front-line unit in Ortomere.

When they rendezvous with the troops that entered first, they march back into the formation against the thoughts of the Ortomere side.

Contrary to Saito's thoughts, they didn't come to rescue the troops left behind, apparently.

"Come on! Why don't you pull the soldiers? What the hell are you doing! They're gonna give up their lives!

The knights of Zaluda just go forward and forward in a heartbeat.

They repeat their swine rush as if they were a fierce, mad bull. No matter how much they kill, they don't show how they flinch.

Originally, the troops that stormed once left the front line immediately and it is normal to rebuild the system.

There are naturally times when you can't pull off surrounded by enemies, but it's impossible not to choose to leave on your own. Especially when it comes to running horseback riding.

Regardless, the battle is all about winning. You don't have to choose the means to win.

But in Saito's eyes, Zaluda's attack really only seemed a crime out of the ordinary track. In his eyes, the commander of the kingdom of Zaluda gave up winning and just chose to kill Ortomere's soldiers.

"What the hell is this all about? Why doesn't the march speed go down? Your Highness can't go crazy like this!

Saito stared forward abominably.

His role is to draw Zaluda's troops to the point where they are laying low.

This task of directing soldiers while moderately embellishing the Zaluda army makes it important to see how you can keep your own soldiers warm.

They are required to pull soldiers while fighting to such an extent that they are not perceived as unnatural by their enemies, without ever being brought into a turmoil.

Yet Saito and Zaluda's army were engaged in a turmoil that could be described as muddy.

I want to pull a soldier, the Ortomean army. Zaluda army that won't leave after eating.

Particularly problematic is that not all of Zaluda's troops are advancing.

The Zaluda army, with a one-letter horizontal formation, but repeated assaults are roughly 4,000 arranged in the center.

It feels like the troops deploying left and right are trying to nail Ortomere's troops on the spot rather than say they will move on.

"Lieutenant Saito! Left wing, right wing, no! Instead of sending reinforcements to the center, they're looking for reinforcements instead! Zaluda's guys, they're not marching their troops forward, but when this one tries to pull it off, they're persistently eating down. I'm totally gonna make you stop this leg!

One of the Knights of the Night Demons heard a report of a transmission that had run past the front line in a madness of death, shouting.

"Chip, what the hell are you after?

From Saito's eyes, this situation is too unnatural.

Zaluda's central unit advances ready to give up his life.

Left-wing and right-wing troops eating back and down to Ortomere.

Unintentionally, Ortomere had turned into a formation of crane wings and Zaluda into a formation of fish scales.

(No way... these guys...)

The hypothesis behind Saito's brain floated.

(No way, are you after His Highness?

Saito shuddered unexpectedly when he thought about it.

Because I felt a strong sense of war by making it spectacular on Zaluda's part.

(Are you insane? Target His Highness...... Zaluda wins this battle if he does take His Highness Chardina. But it would be better if there was a 5% chance that we could make that happen. Besides, Zaluda's soldiers are almost doomed, whether they succeed or not... and they're still betting... why? No, I don't care why. We need to rebuild the front first...)

When Saito shakes off the boiling question, he moves on to thinking about countermeasures.

Either way, because of a special attack that could be described as the madness of Zaluda's central unit, the formation that was lined up in a single horizontal letter had bent to the shape of a razor in the middle.

If we do not regain our position as soon as possible, there is a danger to Chardina, who is pierced through the centre of Ortomere and is in a rear formation.

Saito makes a quick decision.

"Command! Partially change the measures and intercept the Zaluda army on this land as it is. Inform His Highness Chardina of the situation immediately! Tell him that Zaluda's aim may be his neck."

The rendezvous point with the allied forces, which is bypassing the plains from the north and south, is about 3 km west.

Its land, surrounded by hills of small heights in the three directions of the north-west, can be described as ideal for surprise raids.

It is Saito's job to attract the Zaluda army there, and if we do, we can kill all the Letters and Doctrines Zaluda troops.

However, Saito gave up taking the Zaluda army to its point in this state.

He has been pushed by a dynamic enemy and pushed to a situation where he could really lose what should be a disguised retreat.

In the unlikely event of a breakthrough on the front, there could be danger to the Chardina in the rear. No matter what, they're being guarded by a direct unit, but there's no guarantee they won't break it.

If so, there is only one choice left. We can stop retreating and prevent Zaluda from attacking.

(If you report the situation to Your Highness, Your Highness will always turn a separate unit here and attack the rear of Zaluda... it will only change the location of the attack... but... the wear and tear will be more severe than expected... damn! Bad luck.)

You can't just win this fight.

We must reduce the wear and tear of the Ortomean army as much as possible.

If they fail, the Ortomean Empire will be unable to prepare itself against its true enemies.

Saito, who fully understood the matter, cursed Zaluda's commander in his heart.

"Tell all the reserves waiting in the center! We intercept Zaluda's men on this occasion! Your Highness will send reinforcements immediately! Until then, never let Zaluda's people break you through!

Saito orders out loud the usual calm atmosphere. I guess that's all I'm saying is that I'm chopped up. My men who heard the other words also understood the seriousness of the matter and were nervous.

"Definitely stop eating here!

"" "Ha!

When his men snorted at Saito's words, they scattered to the staging area simultaneously.

Zaluda and Ortomere. The battle between the two armies leads to total force.
