The best way to deal with an enemy ambush is to not enter the area where the ambush is.

But if you must enter, there is one way. That is creating a decoy army. Create a part of the troops as a decoy and send them into the area where the ambush is. Then, when they are broken by the ambush and chased out, they retaliate as they did. That was one of many ways to deal with ambushes.

And I was using that exact method. The 1st Infantry Regiment, which was the friendly army’s decoy unit, was retreating using the gap created in the center by the friendly army’s main unit, and the rebels were chasing after it.

“Retreat! It’s a retreat!”

Reinhard von Eppenstein. In other words, the leader of the rebel army hurriedly issued an order to retreat, but it was very difficult for the order to be immediately conveyed to the lowest units during a melee. Therefore, even though the retreat order had been issued, the rebels were unaware of the fact and were frantically pursuing their allies.

And it is our main force that strikes back at those rebels. They were the 2nd Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment. Lord Braunschweig, leading the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and Lord Liechtenrade, leading the 3rd Infantry Regiment, were astonished. I thought the commander-in-chief of our forces was doing something strange, but the strategy turned out to be strangely correct.

“What, what is it? The enemy is really coming out, right?”

“How can this happen? Are the commander-in-chief’s words really true?”

The nobles were puzzled, but at the same time they felt good. The enemy’s pursuers were already exhausted from one battle and the chase, and the enemy was being unilaterally defeated by our allies.

“Continue to crush the enemy! If this continues, I can go back and build my family’s name!”

Lord Braunschweig and Lord Liechtenrade were still young, 24 and 21 years old, respectively. In other words, not only was he full-blooded, but his standing in the family was still lacking. The head of each family also sent them to the battlefield to strengthen their position.

And they were now on the verge of majoring. How could you not be happy? They had forgotten that they were nobles and were currently swinging their swords at the forefront in a trance.

“Retreat! It’s a retreat! Go back to the canyon!”

The rebels belatedly realized the order to retreat due to the unstable sound of drums announcing a retreat coming from Reinhardt’s camp and began to run away, but Lord Braunschweig and Lord Liechtenrade ran with their entire army as if competing, frantically cutting down the enemy’s supply and demand.

“I will give a thousand gold to those who establish a major! If it’s money, I’ll give you whatever you want, so kill to your heart’s content! Hahaha!”

Lord Braunschweig protruded too much. If the enemy decided to counterattack, Lord Braunschweig could die. If this were a game, it would have been a situation that would have put Braunschweig behind. but…

“I was overly excited. Is it no use to stop it? ”

The strategy and tactics in reality and the strategy and tactics in the game were different. In the game, you can move your allies as you wish, but in reality, not only enemies but even allies cannot move as you wish. It was a moment when I thought that if I wanted to lead an army in the real world, I needed to learn real-life tactics separately.

However, Lord Braunschweig did not protrude too much and died. If the commander-in-chief of the enemy army had intended to target Lord Brunswick, he could have killed him, but the commander-in-chief of the rebel army did not seem to place that much value on Lord Brunswick. Rather than that, he probably wants to focus on caring for his soldiers.

Effenstein, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, that is, the rebel army, held the line as much as possible while forcing his soldiers to retreat. He could be seen as a fairly outstanding military leader.

“In the game, his leadership skill was around 88?”

If it was 88, it could be seen as being ranked first among small and medium-sized powers. Even if you go to a major power, you can still be in the top ranks. After all, he was at that level, so he could become the commander-in-chief of the rebel army.

“Enough of the admiration, now I have to start inserting the wedge.”

Both the allies and the enemy were severely exhausted from the continuous battles. Of course, the enemy being chased was much more tired than the allies being chased. However, there were still soldiers that were not used in battle and were saved. That’s it…

“Soldiers of the Brestmire family! Charge!”

Georges Brestmaier’s private soldiers. In other words, they were my soldiers. My soldiers were not attached to any regiment and were attached to me under the direct control of the commander-in-chief. And while the 1st Infantry Regiment was broken up, the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Regiments were resting beside me while they pursued the enemy. To drive a wedge at the most critical moment.

—–

2 hours later. The canyon was stained with blood. The soldiers were exhausted and lying on the blood-stained floor, gasping for breath, while the nobles, who had trained with swords since childhood and had relatively strong physical strength, were gathered in groups of twos and threes of those of the right family rank, praising each other’s military achievements.

I was thrilled when Sir “ cut down three people at the same time. Sir’s swordsmanship can truly be said to be the treasure of the empire.”

There is no comparison to Lord “’s spear skills! Hahaha!”

I was trembling with anxiety as I glanced at those nobles. Damn, I didn’t realize it was a life-threatening situation earlier, but now it feels real. I have to live here forever.

How can I get back home? Come to think of it, wasn’t he suddenly kidnapped after completing the survey? You said it was beta testing, right? So, if I clear the game, will it be sent back?

As I was thinking that, I felt someone approaching from behind. When I looked behind me, there was Lord Rittenheim, the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, or decoy unit.

“What happened to you… ”

And before I even finished speaking.

-Whoosh!

Lord Rittenheim took out his sword and swung it at me. I momentarily leaned back to avoid it, but I got a small scratch on my face. At that moment, the surroundings became silent for a moment.

“Lord Rittenheim is crazy! Stop Lord Rittenheim!”

“ Sir! Don’t do this! What are you doing all of a sudden? Sir!”

“Because of you! Georges Brestmaier! You son of a bitch! Because of you!”

The surrounding knights flocked to block Lord Rittenheim, but Rittenheim continued to run wild and try to attack me.

Sir “, I don’t know why you’re like this, but you need to calm down a little… ”

The knight who tried to stop him was cut on the thigh by his sword. The remaining knights rushed in and snatched Rittenheim’s sword.

“I won the battle, but I don’t understand why.”

The other knights seemed to have no idea what was going on, but I actually knew why Rittenheim was doing that. Rittenheim lost most of the remaining family soldiers who had been drafted as decoy units. Since you won the battle, you will be treated as a major, but if you return to the family, you will lose a large number of private soldiers, so your standing within the family will decline.

“Whew… ”

Soon Lord Rittenheim was dragged away, and one of the knights brought him a handkerchief. I wiped the blood from the cut on my face with my handkerchief and thought about Lord Rittenheim.

To be honest, Lord Rittenheim was justified in being angry with me. After realizing that he was the bait, he would have been completely angry.

But even from my perspective, bait was needed. Without the bait, everyone here would have died. Wouldn’t it be better for one person to die than for ten people to die? Even if it was unfair from the perspective of the person who was selected in that way.

“Ha… ”

In the game, one victim does not complain. But the reality was different. Each soldier dying on the battlefield is not just data, but a living life. Being a commander meant using one’s life more efficiently. It wasn’t something a person would do.

I fell into a shitty world.

—–

“How will you punish Lord Rittenheim?”

“Leave it alone.”

“Yes?”

“Leave it alone.”

I found out about the story later, but it seemed like my expectations were correct. Sir Heinrich von Rittenheim was the eldest son of the Marquis Rittenheim. However, it seemed that the second and third sons were threatening the succession rights.

In such a situation, in order to solidify his succession rights, he led all the private soldiers of the nobles who supported him in his family to the battlefield. In such a situation, since the majority of the soldiers were lost, the next steps were obvious. He will be pushed out of a factional fight by his second or third son and will lose his right to succession.

In other words, he is a person who will die even if left alone. In such a situation, there is no reason for me to have blood on my hands. If a person is going to die anyway, it would be wiser to let them die by someone else’s hands rather than by one’s own.

… Above all, I am not yet ruthless enough to punish someone who used me as bait.

With that in mind, I returned to Ater Castle.

-Kkiik

The soldiers within the castle, seeing the flag of the Breastmire family, opened the large gate, and our soldiers slowly began to enter the gate.

And there, a tall handsome young man with a height of 183 cm and white skin began to walk towards me.

The main character of the original work and a person who will rebel and become emperor in the future. It was Vinnet Franz.
