by fnovelpia“The Knights! The Knights are coming behind us!”
The first start was someone’s cry.
“Break through! We have to break through!”
At that sound, everyone started to push forward, competing with each other.
“Don’t panic! You have to get in line!”
“Must break through!”
While they were happily chopping off their enemies’ balls, the fear that it was time for their own balls to be cut off began to spread throughout the battlefield.
“Calm down! Fight in formation!!”
The knights tried to form a defensive formation and hold out, but it was in vain. In the first place, the soldiers were hastily recruited to fill the number of soldiers, and they were not given proper equipment, and a clear command system was not established with each mercenary group.
“Eww! Run away!”
Crunch-!
“Who’s running away! Fight here!!”
The knight shouted as he cut down a soldier who was running somewhere with nowhere to run.
“Eww!! I’m killing my own people too!!”
The soldiers fell into even greater panic because they had not been properly trained. Most of them were plowing the fields with hoes just a few days ago.
There was no way to properly understand what military discipline and formation were.
They are beings who simply stand when the knights tell them to, and stop when they tell them to stop.
But even such beings could not properly control something that involved their lives.
“Don’t run away!”
“We have to come together! First of all, we have to come together!”
The mercenary group was in a better situation.
Thanks to having crossed the line several times, the mercenary captains immediately began forming small phalanxes with their men.
“Soldiers, follow me! If we break through the center like this, we can survive!”
Looking at the mercenaries who had set up a defensive line, the knight commander of Kerens’ territory shouted loudly and ordered another charge.
“You crazy bitches!! Raise your shields! We can win only if we hold on!! We have to protect our land and families from the Kerens!”
Erica, who was in charge of commanding the infantry, shouted loudly as she watched them prepare to charge again before the siege was complete.
“Shield up!”
“Damn it… why me too… !”
Helen and Elisa, whose mana was running low, also raised their shields and prepared for the enemy’s charge.
Magic and swordsmanship are like cultural knowledge to knights.
Although they looked weak, they could still fight better than ordinary soldiers.
“The noble ladies are with us!”
“Wow!!”
When even the noble ladies raised their shields together, the soldiers did not run away but raised their shields together to brace for the impact.
“Charge!!”
Doo doo doo doo-!!
The sound of the horse shaking the axis was short but powerful.
“Gyaaaah!”
“Aaak!!”
A huge shock struck the center of the Viken Army again.
But unlike the first assault, I was able to hold out without being pushed back.
This was because, unlike the beginning, it was impossible to get a sufficient amount of running, so the charging power was greatly weakened.
“Stab it with a spear!!”
The commander of the knights of Kerens’ territory was also aware of this fact, so he tried to compensate for the weakness of the weakened cavalry charge with spears.
“Kwak-!!”
“Drop behind your shield!!”
A spear that stabs in.
Clang-! Clang-!!
I couldn’t fight back. I could only rely on my shield to block the enemy’s endless spear thrusts…!
bang!
“Wow?!”
At that moment, a spear flew from afar and blew away the helmet of the Knight Commander of the Kerens Army.
The sight of a beautiful beauty was revealed, with her blonde hair fluttering.
“Churup… ”
“Should I capture it?”
Helen and Elisa were amazed at the sight.
If I can just capture her, I will receive great praise from my master!
bang-!!
“Kaaah!!”
“You haven’t penetrated the center yet!”
“It’s blocked! It’s blocked!!”
And just then their master finally began to strike at the center of Kerens’ army.
“Now! Attack!”
The commanders, including Erica, seized the opportunity and immediately switched from defensive to offensive and began to drive back Kerens’ forces.
*
‘It was dangerous.’
The battle was not dangerous at all.
The battlefield situation, which was going as I thought, felt so comfortable.
However… my female soldiers, including Erica, who were commanding the soldiers, were in danger.
Kerens’ army in the center reorganized its formation faster than expected.
The soldiers were still in disarray, but those with extensive combat experience, such as the mercenary corps and knights, quickly came to their senses and launched an offensive.
At that sight, he hurriedly swung his spear and blew away the helmet of the opponent who appeared to be the commander.
‘I tried to blow my head off.’
I originally intended to blow his head off, but I guess he realized that his master was in danger.
Suddenly the horse started to buck and went off course next to the helmet.
It was a shame, but it was okay because the enemy commander was temporarily incapacitated and during that short period of time, the knights led by Leona and I arrived.
“Stop it!!”
“Stop it!!”
The soldiers tried to block our arrival by wielding spears and blocking the charge, but it was no use.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everyone was knocked out by Leona’s fierce attacks, as if she was not a sword master for nothing, as she surrounded her spear with an aura.
BANG!!
Of course, I also took out the spear and threw it several times to break down the opponent’s defense.
“Oh, how could this happen… This kind of thing!!”
As we broke through the first line of defense, a group of people wearing robes came into view, seemingly in disbelief.
It was a group of magicians who advanced together to break through the central area.
They were casting attack magic as soon as their mana recovered.
Certainly, wizards could be said to be the flowers of the battlefield, like modern artillery.
But for those who faced the Knights without these soldiers to protect them, it was like a well-cooked meal.
“Everyone, cast your protective magic…!!”
“Ha, let’s surrender!”
“What?”
Since the wizards also knew this fact, they immediately suggested surrender.
Of course, some people tried to use protective magic to fight to the end.
“Ha, surrender! We surrender! According to the Wizard India Treaty! We ask that you spare our lives!”
“Write… Take care of the Leona soldiers separately and capture them. Collect the ransom. ”
I wanted to just charge the wizards in and quickly take down Kerens’ army, but that would be difficult.
Although most magicians are employed by the territory, their affiliation is ultimately with the Magic Tower.
In other words, it was the same as saying that the magicians who participated in the war were protected by the magic tower. It was okay if they fought to the end, but it was impossible to kill those who surrendered.
If that happened, they would be attacked by the Magic Tower they belonged to.
It was something that the wizards of our territory did not have.
“Tie up the wizards there. Take them as prisoners.”
“Yes!”
Leona gave some orders to the knights following behind her and followed me again.
Crunch-! Crunch-!
He continued to advance, cutting down countless soldiers.
“Damn it! Back off! Back off!!”
As they saw us approaching, Kerens’ army finally began to retreat, perhaps unable to hold out any longer.
Of course, the surrounded soldiers were left behind.
“Damn it! Everyone run away!!”
The knight commander of the Kerens Estate, whose blond hair was fluttering, saw the sight and ordered his knights to flee.
It would be very difficult to escape while surrounded, but since they were knights, a few of them might be able to escape.
To begin with, the central area had been hit so hard that the encirclement had become thin.
“Throw the noose!”
“These kids!! Ugh…!!!”
With Erica’s voice, the nooses were thrown and began to strangle the knight commander of Kerens’ estate from all sides.
Unlike Leona, who was known to be no sword master, she was caught and fell from her horse after being ensnared by dozens of lassoes.
“Run away!!”
“Chase me!!”
Before he could even leisurely watch the situation unfold, the center that had been pressed down by the enemy and had become thinner was finally breached, and countless soldiers and knights began to flee through the gap like a flood.
I had to charge again, chase after them, and swing my sword.
The battle was a great victory.
*
“Damn it…!!”
Hern Kerens watched the battle unfold and ordered a retreat.
Where did it go wrong?
Is it because they didn’t fight against the opposing knights?
“No… ”
There was nothing wrong with his operation. It was just that his great plan was not followed by foolish soldiers.
If the soldiers on the left wing had been able to block the attacks of the opposing knights, like the soldiers of the Viken Territory, it would have been possible to surround them in reverse.
But, how could you run away in fear from the enemy knights’ charge…!!
It might seem greedy to hold off the knights’ charge without even providing them with proper equipment, but Baron Hern Kerens did not think of such things.
Originally, the commoners were beings who had to give up everything for the nobles from the moment they were born.
Even life itself.
“Execute the soldiers who escaped.”
“Yes!”
And all the nobles in Kerens’ territory thought the same, so they loudly responded to Lord Hern’s order and began executing the soldiers who ran away without orders.
“Tell each castle to lock their doors and hold on!”
After the order to retreat was given, the returning soldiers and knights gathered together and Kerens’ army entered each castle and began preparing for a siege.
