by fnovelpiaBalkan Civil War (Finish)
In a battle between infantrymen, which was a battle of strength versus strength, Prinz’s army, boasting excellent unity, gained the upper hand, and Henry’s Imperial Army began to gradually fall back.
Viscount Toys, who was watching the battle unfold from the watchtower, ran to Prinz.
“Your Majesty. The situation is going very smoothly. Here, we will deploy the knights and cavalry to finish the job for sure”
“You are the commander-in-chief. There is no need to report to me, you can move the unit as you see fit”
“I will definitely offer victory to Your Majesty!”
Viscount Toys, thrilled by the Crown Prince’s trust, ran back to the watchtower and issued orders.
“Give the order to the knights to march!! Divide the cavalry into two and attack the left and right sides! The enemy’s formation must be destroyed!”
As soon as Viscount Toys’ order was given, the horns of the march sounded and knights on horseback and 4,000 cavalry began to stir the battlefield.
“Knights, break through the enemy and head towards the enemy base! Whoever captures the enemy leader Heinrich will be granted the title of count and territory!!”
In response to the enormous reward offered by the Commander-in-Chief, the knights drove their horses harshly and attacked Prince Lee’s army.
The moment the knights rushed in at breakneck speed and were about to hit Heinrich’s army, thousands of arrows flew out and attacked the charging knights.
However, the plate armor the knights wore bounced off the arrows, and although some horses fell and knights who were hit by arrows through gaps in their armor fell from their horses, the knights did not stop charging.
“Charge!! For His Majesty the Crown Prince!!”
“For the Balkans!!”
Heinrich’s army also resisted the knights with long spears, but the long spears were not enough to block the charge of barded horses and plate armored knights.
Quang!
A huge shock occurred, causing the soldiers hit by Prinz’s knights to fly into the sky, and the battle line collapsed with a single charge.
And as the knights continued to penetrate through the gap and the battle line became disorganized, the infantry of Prinz’s army also dug into the gap and began slaughtering them.
“Keep pushing!! We must not give them time to recover!!”
“Don’t miss the opportunity!! Shield soldiers dig into the enemy and build a new battle line! Spearmen, look for an opening so that shield soldiers can penetrate!!”
Due to the struggles of the infantry, several dozen knights finally broke through the enemy lines without significant damage and took their horses for a moment to storm into Henry’s army’s main camp.
The cavalry that dug in on the left and right sides of Heinrich’s army also achieved similar results, so in the end, Heinrich’s army was pushed back and was driven to the brink of being drowned in the Lake of the Spirits.
Prinz Jinyoung
“Hahaha toys own creation!! Good job! Isn’t it going perfectly according to your plan?”
With the battle going so smoothly, Prinz came out to the watchtower where Toys was located, looked at the battle situation, and praised his gun barrel.
“It’s strange… It’s so smooth…”
However, despite the crown prince’s praise, Viscount Toys just watched the battlefield in a daze.
“Hmm? Didn’t it go according to your plan? Isn’t our military pushing overwhelmingly? If we keep going like this, we’ll be able to capture Heinrich in no time, right?”
“The enemy was allowed to break through more easily than expected. And most of the visible enemies are mercenaries, and there are no enemy knights or cavalry in sight. The reason I sent out the knights was to find out how the enemy cavalry would respond, but this…”
“Hahaha, don’t worry too much. Heinrich seems to be conserving too much power. He’s a bad guy when it comes to military strategy, so he doesn’t know how to use the cards he has”
“Then it would be okay…”
Viscount Toys continued to watch the war situation with unknown anxiety, but the Prinz army pushed back Heinrich’s army more and more fiercely, and relief began to form in his heart.
Heinrich camp.
Heinrich, Count Dietrich, and a woman deeply robed were watching the battle unfold.
Even as he watched his soldiers being completely pushed back, Heinrich was drinking very leisurely, and it was the same for Count Dietrich.
“Wow~ The taste of alcohol is nice. I think it’s about time?”
“Yes. your majesty. I will start counterattacking now”
“Hahahaha I must be so sad that I can’t see my brother’s embarrassed expression. You must be excited right now and thinking about what to do with me. Hahahaha”
As Heinrich burst into laughter, Count Dietrich bowed deeply to the robed woman.
“Then, please. Jennifer. We are fully prepared”
“Good! Instead, keep your promises. Doubling the support budget for the Magic Tower and awarding 100 good-looking young men under the age of 15 as servants”
“Don’t worry, Jennifer. The emperor makes sure to reward those who help him”
The identity of the woman wearing the robe was Imperial Magic Tower Lord Jennifer, and she took off her robe and began to recite a spell while looking at the battlefield.
Then, the magical energy in the air fluctuated, magic circles appeared here and there on the plain, and huge fires began to rise from them.
“Send out the knights!! Send a message to the Marquis of Deerwood, in charge of the cavalry, to join the force!! At the main camp, water must be drawn from the lake and sent to the front lines”
When Count Dietrich’s order was given, Henry’s army quickly prepared a counterattack according to his order.
“Hey~ How are you going to respond to my brother? kekekekekeke”
Heinrich’s smile grew deeper as he could see that the Emperor in front of him was embarrassed.
“Chemical work!!”
“Request a wizard from the main base!!”
“Ugh the fire won’t go out!! Save me!!!”
The fire caused by Jennifer created a huge flame in the dry grassland and attacked the Emperor’s army.
Although it was only a short period of training, the Emperor’s army, which showed a majesty comparable to that of the Empire’s regular army, collapsed helplessly in front of the fire. Moreover, because the Emperor Lee’s army, which had the lake at its back, attacked them with the supplied water, the First Prince’s army suffered the double hardship of fire and the attack of the Emperor Lee’s army, and its battle line collapsed.
Naturally, Prinz’s command center, which was watching the war situation, was in an uproar.
Quang!
“Holy shit!! A painter!! Moreover, that flame that our magicians cannot even respond to…”
“The only person who can implement that level of magic is Magic Tower Lord Jennifer!”
“The magic tower lord doesn’t have the authority to get involved in this battle, right? I got confirmation of that myself!! Damn it!! Heinrich! How did you trick the magic tower lord?”
While appeasing the enraged Prinz, Viscount Toys thought of ways to counterattack.
“No matter how much Jennifer does, she won’t be able to maintain that level of flame forever. Once the military is bitten, if they counterattack again… Huh?”
But Prince Prinz’s ordeal was not over.
As soon as the fire died down, Heinrich’s knights appeared and attacked Prinz’s knights, who had suffered extensive damage from the fire. In addition, cavalry carrying the flag of Emperor Lee’s army appeared from the rear and began to run towards Prinz’s main camp, so the word defeat ended up in Viscount Toys’ mind.
“All troops!! Rush quickly! Cut off the head of the enemy monster, Prinz!!”
‘How dare you leave my daughter and play with that monster bitch!! I will not forgive you! ‘Prinz!!’
The Marquess of Deerwood was regarded as a nobleman who had achieved success by marrying off his daughters without much ability, but his father-in-law’s anger towards his unfaithful son-in-law was terrifying.
Contrary to his carefree personality, the Marquis of Deerwood, who rode his horse roughly and stood at the forefront, personally held the standard and commanded the cavalry to attack the headquarters of the Prinz army’s headquarters.
Seeing the completely collapsed army, Viscount Prinz and Toys looked at the battlefield map with empty eyes.
“Our main unit is on the verge of destruction due to the enemy’s counterattack! Please give instructions!!”
“The enemy cavalry has dug into the main camp!”
“…Your Majesty, God will lead his soldiers to stop you, so take shelter. Your Majesty must not fall here”
“Your Highness!! You must evacuate quickly!! Avoid this place with the Crown Princess Mama! The cavalry will soon arrive here!”
Viscount Toys, who came to his senses after seeing the Marquis Seitlitz leading Prinz’s personal guards toward the battlefield, asked Prinz to evacuate.
“…Where on earth would a defeated leader take refuge? Phew~ A son who can’t even avenge his father… Where does he end up in the empire!”
Seeing Prinz’s blank-eyed look as if he had given up on everything, Toys gritted his teeth and hit Prinz’s cheek with his fist.
Wow!!
“Here you go!! What is this?”
“Give me your clothes!!”
“Why…why are you doing this?”
Prinz’s weak strength was unable to resist Toys, and Prinz’s outer clothes were completely taken off by Toys.
Toys then put on Prinz’s clothes and dressed him in soldier’s clothes.
“Your Majesty! He trusted God and gave him the position of Commander-in-Chief, but now that this has happened, it seems God has no choice but to repay him with his life… Count Zeon!! Please ask for His Highness the Crown Prince!”
“Don’t worry, Commander-in-Chief!! I will have my trustworthy subordinates escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!”
“Count Zeon?”
“Khahaha What will a father do while still alive who could not even avenge his daughter? I will burn my last life here!”
“….I’m sorry. Count Zeon…”
“What are you two doing!! Let go of this!”
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! We have prepared for you to go to the space movement magic circle. Go to Duke Windrage… that usurper must never be acknowledged as Emperor. Please bring justice to this empire…”
Prinz was taken away by Count Zion’s men, where Yunas, also dressed as an ordinary soldier, was riding a horse.
“Yunas….”
‘Yes… If I die like this, Yunas… I will have to live… I will have to take revenge on Heinrich somehow!’
Will appeared again in Prinz’s eyes.
“I’m sorry! Toys! Zeon!!”
Prinz shouted loudly and left the battlefield with Yunas and headed to the space movement magic circle on the outskirts of the capital.
To prevent it from being noticed that Prinz had run away, several soldiers started escaping here and there to confuse Heinrich’s army, so Heinrich’s army did not particularly pay attention to the ordinary soldiers who were running away.
After confirming that the crown prince had escaped safely, Toys and Zeon, wearing the prince’s clothes instead, led the last troops and began the final charge.
Even though countless arrows flew, troops fell, and were stabbed and cut by spears and swords, Toys’ charge did not stop.
“Huh..? uh? The main base has been breached! your majesty! Avoid!!”
Although only a dozen days remained, Viscount Toys and Count Zeon eventually succeeded in breaking through and reached Heinrich’s command post.
“That’s it! Prinz!!”
“The head of the First Prince is mine!!!”
Even as they looked at the enemy soldiers rushing toward them, Prinz’s sword did not stop. However, the difference in numbers was inevitable, so all the soldiers were killed, and only Viscount Toys and Count Zeon remained, gasping for breath.
“It’s over, Your Majesty”
“Whew~ Was your brother that good at inaction? Is it unexpected?”
Heinrich, who had almost run away from the command center, breathed a sigh of relief and approached the two, who were barely out of breath.
“Kaaa!!”
Count Zion, who saw Prince Lee approaching, used his last strength to throw Toys, and Toys also swung his sword at Heinrich with the last strength left in his body.
“Die! Heinrich!!”
visor!!
However, Toys’ final blow was blocked by Count Dietrich’s sword, cutting only Heinrich’s forehead, and he was quickly stabbed and subdued by the swords of the guards who rushed over.
“Kaaa!!”
“That guy… is not my brother! Take off your helmet!”
When Toys’ helmet was removed at Heinrich’s command and it was revealed that the enemy they had thought was Prinz was someone else, their expressions all hardened.
“It was Viscount Toys. Where is your brother? The fact that you’re wearing your brother’s clothes… means that your brother ran away somewhere?”
” ◦ ◦@@@@@@@@@@What kind of mouth do you tease your brother’s status? Just kill it!”
“…. I won’t open my mouth easily. Torture that guy and somehow find out your location…”
Squeak!!
Before Heinrich could finish speaking, the sword thrown by Count Zion pierced Toys’ neck, and Count Zion also committed suicide with the sword he had hidden in his bosom.
“Aaaaa!! Prinz!!”
Since Henry knew full well that unless he killed Prinz, there was a possibility that a rebellion would break out somewhere in the empire, and that he could not be fully recognized as emperor, his anger reached the sky.
