Wortenia Senki (WN)

The tent of the Altomere faction clearly appeared before Ecclesia, who flew out of Fort Ushas.

Is it like 300 to 400 meters at a distance?

It is a distance that cannot be said to be within the effective range of the bow if it is meant to be, but Ecclesia does not mind giving the order.

"Prepare for second fire! Don't hesitate. We're going to feed you the rain of taps and arrows with the dogs of Ortomere!

Under Ecclesia's sword, the knights on the horse, who walk, squeeze their bows again.

"Let go of me!

A sword in Ecclesia's hand was swung down towards the camp of Ortomere.

There are still countless bows ringing in the Uchas Basin at night.

What they hold is a small bow that draws a unique curve. Shapes would include Turkish bows and objects used by nomads.

It can be described as a rather unusual shape in the earth world, where large bows are often used, called long bows.

At least, I don't see it on the Western continent first.

It is certainly a convenient shape for use on horses. But naturally, it's not all good.

Compact, fast-firing and easy to handle on horseback, but on the other hand, it takes a step back on the long bow in terms of distance and penetration.

No, it would be more right to say that the bow itself was not much utilized for a certain reason when it existed only in the earth world in the first place.

The greatest weapon in battle is flesh fortified with martial arts.

That was common sense in the earth world.

But this bow in the hands of the Knights, led by Ecclesia, was different in everything.

It is a state-of-the-art weapon in the earth world created by the Mist kingdom over the years and with enormous development spending and with improvements.

It is a blend of technology imported from a distant central continent and independently developed by the Kingdom of Mist, taking advantage of the characteristics of a trading nation.

Compared to common round wooden bows created from a single material, composite bows made from leather and bones of various organisms based on thin metal plates boast such strong tension that it is impossible to even pull them off if they are concurrent humans.

Ordinary humans have difficulty even pulling bows.

Not to mention I can assure you that it would not be possible if it were a shooting from an unstable horse.

The base was used as a crossbow, Ishiyumi, so I guess it's natural.

But there was nothing wrong with a physically capable knight enhanced by martial arts.

Of course, I don't want a hit rate as good as standing on the flat because it's shooting from a violently rocking horse, but I don't need to shoot that precisely in the current situation.

All you have to do is reach the broad Ortomere side of the line. That's all you can do to upset enemy soldiers.

"The enemy seems confused by the good feeling..."

"Naturally. You never dreamed I'd get ahead of you. I've been caged in a fort for a long time and only fought defenses I don't like."

Ecclesia laughs with her niggles up her lips at the words of her concurrent deputy.

It's like a beast grinning with its fangs ripped out in front of its prey.

No matter how sophisticated her usual attitude is to stand and behave like a noble lady, her essence is the same fierce carnivore as Ryo Mitsuko.

Otherwise, there's no way you can get stuck in a country's general.

"Sure..."

If boxing is to be taken as an example, you've even been defensive since just after the start of the game, and you said you fed your opponent a sharp counter to match where he got in a hurry to make up his mind in one blow.

"I know you do, but you don't have to do anything about it. I'm ready for my next hand."

Ecclesia's profound gaze and his deputy snorts deeply.

"Don't worry. Because we know exactly what to do."

This ambush is only meant to spread the target's bleeding.

Multiple strained traps.

Stops the breath root of the Ortomere invading army with one blow. Because it is a connecting object until the plan is ready...

Ecclesia shrugged small as she looked at her side back.

"You are sweet... lady. You can't beat me or Elena... and that guy."

Chardina's basic idea of putting in a large force is never strategically incorrect.

But that's not true if you're always asked if the idea is the best.

The more troops we have, the blunter the movement of the army becomes, accelerating into the draining off of supplies.

It absolutely takes either experience or talent to operate a large army efficiently.

The problem is that Chardina herself doesn't fully understand the matter...

"Now, at the dawn of counter-attacks... burn the power of my Mist kingdom into its eyes"

Sounds good when it comes to the Eastern Troika Union, but what we're talking about is an alliance in an era of war.

If there's a gap, if there's a profit, if there's an opportunity...

Try to stick each other with their hidden fangs behind their smiles.

In that sense, what is important in this battle against the Ortomean Empire is to show off the military power of our country and impress it not to be insulted.

Ecclesia started to see the end of the war, and now it's time to cut the trump card she raised herself.

To show the power of my country...

"If the enemy hangs... I'm leaving!

Ecclesia Marinelle hoisted her well-shaped glossy lips and laughed as she watched her mourn amidst the camp.

"Command! Approximately two thousand and five hundred enemy troops ambushed our camp! It looks like hundreds or so of people were damaged by the simultaneous shooting of the bow."

The moment that report was brought about, a plate of soup fell zero out of Chardina's hands.

To a report too unexpected, Chardina's thought stops for a moment.

That would be the same for Saito and Celia, who had surrounded the table together.

And there was a scream coming from Chardina's mouth, who understood the situation.

"An ambush? What were the scouts doing! I should have strongly ordered you to pay close attention to the movement of the fort!

In the shape of a young man, in front of Shardina, who turned a sharp gaze, the preaching said the report as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry. The enemy moved too quickly to make it."

A decree stabbed an arrow in his shoulder lowered his head to Chardina with constant breath.

Seeing that look, a small tongue pound leaks from Chardina's lips.

"That's good enough. Tell each unit to fight back immediately!

It is true that no matter how many times I have ordered in advance, I have been ambushed in this way.

(Oh my God... I can't believe this one frustrated my nose as soon as I tried to intensify my offense...)

Of course, Chardina was also wary of a counterattack on Zaluda's side, but he was struck by an indication before the manoeuvrability of what could be termed a wind thunderstorm of the Knights led by Ecclesia.

"Your Highness! Wait. Be careful here..."

Saito pinched his mouth against Chardina's words as he suddenly attempted to move to a counterattack.

"Saito, what are you talking about? This is the one on the force. You came out of that fort over there, didn't you? What are you gonna do if you don't fight now!

"But, Your Highness, the Zaluda side, which has always maintained its guard, turned to the offensive. There's a chance there's something behind it..."

"Yes, this place has been rebuilt for once!

Saito nods at Celia's words.

Indeed, the first blow, even if good, could not continue after an ambush with just about one Knights force.

Sooner or later, it is visible to be pushed by a number of violence.

Then where is Zaluda's aim?

With that in mind, Chardina breathes heavily and takes a deep breath.

(Calm down... good, calm down... where are they after?

Rain of arrows flying in drawing parabolas from a distance.

It is true that we will be able to cut the number of troops somewhat, but it is very unlikely to be a decision hit.

The first blow appears to have been simulated from an unexpected distance and caused considerable damage, but once it moves into combat posture, the damage will be extraordinarily low.

Especially the armor helmets worn by the Knights, the most important force that shapes the victory and defeat of the battle, should be best worn with small scratches in a concurrent bow.

(So it's just harassment? No way......)

He did frustrate his nose, but that's all.

Either sedate the confusion and command on the Ortomere side returns to normal.

The enemy's two thousand and five hundred troops were too little to bring directly from the front to the attack.

"Is there any chance of a

Chardina frowned in good shape at Saito's words.

"You're going to focus our consciousness on the front and attack the fort from the side?

With a little thought, Chardina glimpses Celia's face standing beside her.

"No, I didn't think so. Because the terrain around this camp is flat, with few ups and downs, and pretty promising."

"Well... I don't see how you can switch to such a rushed attack..."

"Not unlikely, of course..."

Zaluda's policies have been consistent since the beginning of the war.

He cages himself in a fort to minimize damage, and works with fortifications dotted among the surrounding mountains in a thorough defense battle that brings the interests of the land to life.

There is unlimited likelihood of a sudden shift in that policy.

(So... why now...)

Any action always makes sense.

How quickly and accurately we can decipher what that means.

It was the decree that hung into the tent that gave the answer to Chardina's question, thinking with a finger in his shaped jaw.

"Report! A part of our army is out from the main entrance. We are following soldiers on Zaluda's side and marching towards Fort Ushas!

As soon as I hear that report, everything combines in Chardina's head.

And then something cold runs on Chardina's back the moment a single painting that was made comes to mind.

(Caught...? No way, is this what you're after?

The thought was transformed into certainty by the ironic tone of the man standing at the entrance to the tent.

"This is a little bit of an unsavory development... Saito-san, you should head straight for the Knights. Lord Rolf already has it for you, but it would be safer for His Highness Chardina to have it for you and the crime scene. Don't let them run wild any more..."

"Mr. Sudo... what the hell do you say about that..."

Unable to grasp the situation, Saito tries to walk over to Sudo.

But Chardina blocked the move with her hands.

"Saito, I'm sorry, but I need you on your way. Good? Never let any more soldiers go out!

Things dispute for a moment.

I fully understand the power of Rolf, but I did need insurance.

Because, as Sudo put it, surely any further runoff could be fatal to the invading army.

To the strong light that shines in Chardina's eyes, Saito runs out of the tent when he stops asking any more questions.

"Kukukukuku, it looks like the enemy is finally starting to move in earnest too...... are Elena Steiner and Ecclesia Marinelle. You seem to be familiar with this situation. Are you saying that there are only warrior generals in the boulder? The extent to which our army has moved is such that future developments are quite..."

"Shut your mouth. Sudo!"

To the fury of Chardina, Sudo smiles with all the sarcasm and flaunts his shoulders.

Staring sideways at the attitude, Chardina sat down in her chair.

"Oh, Meneose, God of Light, please bless us... may you both make it"

A prayer from Chardina's mouth to God he had never normally spoken of leaked.

But Celia, sitting beside me, has no idea what's going on.

"Your Highness... what the hell..."

Chardina nods her face at her fist gripped like she prays to God.

Celia couldn't help but leak a word of surprise at that appearance.
