by fnovelpiaThe fact that the Viken Territory and Kerens Territory were preparing for a territory war was so large that everyone could tell.
“Hans! You are subject to conscription!”
In each village, able-bodied people were conscripted, regardless of whether they were men or women.
Because there was not much difference in strength due to the existence of mana, the men and women were simply dragged into the army together.
“Get your armor and weapons here!”
The circumstances were the same in both territories, but the environments were different.
“Is this armor…?”
Soldiers from Kerens’ territory wearing crude armor that seemed to be made from a haphazard mix of wood and bamboo.
“Hmm. Safety standards passed!”
On the other hand, is it because the armor of the Viken Territory was made with a lot of money?
The shining silver armor was showing off its majesty in the sunlight.
“It’s a shield… !”
Even the fact that they were given shields showed how different the Kerens Territory and the Viken Territory were.
“Support resources to the Viken Territory!”
Of course, this was largely thanks to Count Luimina’s material and spiritual support behind the scenes.
The Viken Territory, which secretly received various aids ranging from iron ore to food, was able to quickly arm its soldiers and repair its walls.
When it was thought that both sides were ready.
“It’s war!!”
The one who declared war was the Kerens Territory.
“Count Iliana… Are you falling behind?”
“Count Luimina. You’re the one who’s falling behind?”
At the same time, the two counts who were watching over the Viken Territory and Kerens Territory immediately took control of their opponents and prevented them from getting involved in the territory battle.
Well, if the side you are supporting is pushed back, you should be prepared to support them at any time.
“The war will be ended as quickly as possible.”
In this situation, Alpha was thinking of ending the war quickly to prevent Count Illyana Eor, who was behind Kerens’ territory, from intervening.
“Finish it as quickly as possible and get the compensation…!”
This thought was also shared by Hern, the lord of Kerens’ estate.
They extracted as much resources as possible from the territory where the Black Death was still raging. Countess Iliana, who did not want Kerens territory to become too powerful, provided only the bare minimum of support.
Because of this, Kerens’ estate could be said to be in a vegetative state, barely surviving with a respirator.
If the war is not ended and reparations are not paid as quickly as possible, the losses will be astronomical.
With such judgment from both sides, the armies of both sides began to form formations facing each other on the plains.
*
The battle of the spirits has finally begun.
“The enemy’s forces seem to be around 30,000 strong.”
“Yeah.”
I looked at the enemy formation while receiving reports from Leona and Ertia.
A similar number of troops clash on the plains.
“I don’t understand.”
The Kerens army, where most of the soldiers wear crude armor made of wood and bamboo, as if to show that they are hastily selected conscripts.
On the other hand, our Viken Army issued armor and shields to all conscripts without exception.
The equipment condition is different, but they are trying to start an all-out war…
Unless there is some groundbreaking tactic, the battle will be ours to win.
“Alpha. Can you win?”
“Yes.”
As I was looking at the enemy’s formation, Melania seemed to be getting anxious and came out to stand next to me.
“Ugh… I can’t lose! If I listen to that bitch Ignis, what’s going to happen… She might force me to mate with a horse… !”
“Do you do that too?”
“That’s how it is with dragons that don’t get along.”
I didn’t know.
Dragons are a race that is full of arrogance and pride.
How could such a dragon force its own kind to mate with beasts like horses?
“So you have to win. If you do, I’ll give you the prize you wanted.”
“Yes. Melania, please wash yourself clean and wait for that time. ”
“Phew… You’re so confident.”
Melania just laughs at my sexually harassing comments.
This is the privilege of an alpha male. Even if he sexually harasses women, they just take it as a joke!
As the day passed and both sides’ formations were complete, a loud voice was heard from the other side.
“Ertia! You filthy bitch! You killed your father and now you praise his place! Don’t you fear heaven? I will punish you in the place of the goddess and avenge your father!”
“Baron Hern Kerens. The lord of Kerens Estate.”
Leona whispered in my ear and told me who it was that had been shouting.
“Shut up!! How can a lord who betrayed his territory still be alive! I know that you tempted our father and encouraged him to betray! I will make you pay the price for daring to touch our territory!”
“You little b*tch! You’re all talk! I’ll capture you and sell you into slavery!!”
“I can’t stand the thought of you tying me up to a horse and dragging me around the square!!”
The war of nerves between Ertia and Hern began to intensify.
“All troops to the front!”
As the war of nerves reached its peak, the enemy’s troops began to slowly advance forward.
“Mi, don’t push me!”
“Eww!!”
Of course, as expected of soldiers who were not properly trained, they were tangled up here and there. As I watched, I saw soldiers fall and get crushed to death.
On the other hand, our soldiers, who were conscripts but had received sufficient training, were moving forward slowly and in an orderly manner, holding shields.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
Do the opposing commanders have no thoughts at all when they see their soldiers falling?
Even though it’s a beta mail, I think it should have that much common sense, but is there some kind of secret plan?
“The enemy knights start to move.”
“Let’s go too.”
At Leona’s words, I also put on my helmet and took out my sword.
Step by step.
Leona and the knights slowly advance on horseback.
“Charge!!”
Finally, when the infantry were close enough together, a loud shout was heard from Kerens’ army.
“Stop! Stay where you are and take out your shields!”
On the other hand, Ertia, as he had previously announced, had his soldiers stop advancing and begin preparing to defend against the enemy infantry’s charge.
“Archers, prepare to fire! Shoot!!”
“Feed arrows to your opponent!!”
Swish! Swish!
Arrows began to fly from both sides.
“Kyaaak!!”
“Save me!!”
Kerens’ army, ordered to charge without even proper training, was literally riddled with arrows and most of them fell.
“Shield up!!”
“Shield up!!”
On the other hand, the Viken army is holding up their shields and leisurely blocking their opponents’ arrows.
“Now! Wizards!”
“Fire Arrow! Thunder Arrow!!”
The moment I thought I had caught my breath, the wizards’ concentrated fire began to strike the center of the Viken army.
Red, blue, yellow… Arrows made of various colors and magic flew in.
“Barrier!!”
But wizards don’t just have opponents.
Celine, who seemed to have originally had a talent for magic, has now reached the 4th circle.
A translucent shield appeared with her spear.
“4, 4th circle wizard!”
“Don’t panic! The number of opponents is not that many!!”
Boom! Boom!
Countless magic spells collide with the translucent shield and explode.
“Wow!!”
Eventually, as if numbers were no object, the barrier disappeared along with Celine’s scream.
“Now! Shoot!”
It seemed like the enemy was planning to strike hard at the center, break through here, and split our forces in two.
A multitude of magic spells flying towards the center again.
“Shield!”
“Shield!”
As I mentioned before, our magicians prioritize using defensive magic over offensive magic to block enemy attacks.
But that didn’t last long.
With the addition of the wizards from the Viken Territory, the number of wizards in the Kerens Territory is now around 100.
On the other hand, we only had about 40 wizards prepared. Since we had only learned magic for a short period of time, even the wizards of the same circle had less mana than us.
Fortunately, there is a 4th circle wizard named Celine.
“Opponent magic is decreasing.”
“Yeah.”
As we checked the battlefield while facing off against the opposing knights on horseback, we saw that after our magicians ran out of mana, the enemy also ran out of magic, as the colorful arrows were no longer flying.
The knights are still in a state of standoff.
They were eyeing each other from a position where they could charge into the center of our army following the other’s strategy.
“Wow!! Kill me!!”
Finally, Kerens’ infantry, who had reached the point where they had overcome the rain of arrows, met our infantry.
The soldiers who had arrived now were properly equipped, as if they had been using shabby equipment at first, just as arrow catchers.
Buck! Buck! Buck!
The sound of the weapons clashing could be heard, and the horses began to snort in excitement.
“Leona. Slowly pull the center back. ”
“Yes. Move the center back!!”
Flutter! Flutter!
The flags waved and the center of our army began to retreat little by little.
“The enemy center is being pushed! Now is the time! Knights charge!!”
“Leona. Tell the troops in the center to hold their positions. We will stand by. ”
“Yes!”
The enemy knights finally moved, but I waited for a moment.
When the center was pushed back repeatedly by the knights’ charge, the charge power finally ran out.
“Knights Charge.”
I ordered a charge.
