episode_0030

According to one knight’s memoir, there was something strange about the battle. There was a set format to battle. The battle unfolded with equal forces, with each side firing cannons and bows at each other, and the side that felt at a disadvantage in the firefight gave the order to charge first.

But there was something strange about that fight. The assault began without any cannons or bows. I have never heard or seen a fight like this. The crown prince immediately told him to follow me and ran towards the enemy.

“Get the boat to the shore! Bring your boat to the shore and follow His Majesty the Crown Prince!”

Ordinary soldiers did not have the superhuman physical ability to jump from a ship to the island in one go like the crown prince, and in order for them to get off, they had to land a ship on the island. The problem was that it took time to get a ship to the island. The crown prince would probably have arrived at the castle by the time the soldiers disembarked and remained.

The good news was that the crown prince had a bodyguard of knights. Each of these knights, named the Black Lion Knights, was extremely strong and numbered 200. In short, they were superhumans like the crown prince. They jumped out of the boat in an instant and started following the crown prince.

“Your Majesty! Ordinary soldiers are unable to follow His Majesty. Please reduce your speed.”

“What about ordinary soldiers? All you have to do is bring along those who can follow you. In fact, didn’t you guys follow?”

“Your Majesty! but… ”

That moment.

-Quaang!

With a huge explosion sound, cannon balls started flying. The cannon that was meant to be fired at the ship was hurriedly turned towards the crown prince.

As with all battlefield cannons, their accuracy was very low, so there would have been no need to worry, but as the opponent was lucky, the cannon began to fly straight towards where the crown prince was. The crown prince and the knights quickly scattered in all directions to avoid the cannon.

-Pow!

When the cannonball soon hit the ground, no one was hit by the cannonball. But there was a problem. That’s because the loud sound of the cannon made communication difficult.

The knights worked hard to stop the prince, but the prince simply ignored the sound of the cannon, perhaps because he did not want to hear it, and charged towards the castle wall. and…

“Albert von Arcadia, the first prince of the Arcadia Empire and the heir to the throne, has arrived! Pirates, open the gates calmly and receive the mace of justice!”

The crown prince started climbing the castle wall while shouting like that.

The nobles were dumbfounded as they watched the crown prince blindly climbing the castle wall, which had no siege towers or ladders, only holding on to gaps in the bricks. However, since the object of the escort was acting like that, it was impossible to abandon it. If he did so, his own head would be cut off.

Therefore, 200 knights also climbed the castle wall with their bare bodies. On that day, both the pirates and the soldiers saw something they had never seen before in their lives. It was a sight to see about 200 knights wearing plate armor climbing the castle wall bare-chested.

“W-what is that!”

“You climb the castle without siege equipment! Are they crazy?”

“What the fuck are you doing! Don’t watch, just shoot! It’s coming up!”

“Shoot! Shoot and kill!”

Many knights died. He was hit by stones, arrows, and javelins, and died one-sidedly. Originally, they were strong people who would not have died from such a minor disease, but they had no choice but to die because they had to use their whole bodies to climb up the castle wall.

When the crown prince climbed the castle wall, the pirates could not help but be astonished. This is because a series of knights dressed in silver robes appeared in the middle of thin air without any siege equipment.

The defenders were equally surprised by the antics that went beyond common sense in battle. The defenders thought that there was a long time left before the battle would begin and had placed fewer soldiers on the walls. In that situation, the crown prince had unintentionally attacked him.

The crown prince and the knights unilaterally began massacring the pirates on the castle walls. The pirates quickly launched a counterattack, but because the attack was so sudden, they could not respond properly.

And 6 hours later.

“Why… ”

Edelfeld, commander of the Southern Army, muttered to himself as if it were absurd.

“Why… You won, right?”

That’s right. The battle ultimately ended in victory. The course of the battle was as follows. The crown prince climbed up the castle wall and succeeded in opening the castle gate, and the soldiers who landed on the island took advantage of the gap and pushed into the castle like a flood and wiped out the pirate island.

In fact, it was something that could not have happened in a normal battle. It was a normal battle where the crown prince should have been killed by all kinds of arrows and cannon fire the moment he ran out alone.

But this battle was different. Not only the attacking side, but also the defensive side was unprepared, and when they suddenly rushed out, they were both embarrassed and ended up unilaterally defeating each other.

10,000 to 10,000. But a battle with castles. Materials were lacking and siege weapons were also lacking. Common sense told me that it was a battle that was bound to be lost. But strangely enough, I won.

In response, Edelpelt looked as if he couldn’t believe that he had won with a bewildered expression, and Yurian, the leader of the pirates, also didn’t seem to understand that he had lost.

While the winner could not believe in his victory and the loser could not believe in his defeat, there was only one person who was purely happy about this victory.

“Hahaha! As expected, this body had a talent for war!”

The crown prince was opening a bottle of champagne as if his victory was a given.

And this victory had a huge impact on the empire.

[His Royal Highness Albert von Arcadia, Crown Prince of the Empire, leads the Southern Army to a complete victory in an unfavorable battle!]

[The emergence of a new master! Is his identity the first heir to the empire?]

[The next emperor’s hidden military ruler! A supernova appears in the future of the empire!]

The empire’s various newspapers began publishing provocative articles like hot cakes, and the crown prince quickly became a hero of the empire.

It was just one crazy charge.

And at this point, only one person knew where this heroization of the Crown Prince would take the country.

—–

“The time has come for the crown prince to go on a rampage in the southern region.”

Lee Si-hyeon, or Georges Brestmaier, was muttering to himself while observing the training of soldiers in the Northern Army.

As Lee Si-hyeon remembers, it was during this period that the crown prince began to go on a rampage. The crown prince that Lee Si-hyeon remembers was a wild horse himself. He’s excellent at swordsmanship, but he’s out of control and is a complete madman. A walking time bomb that doesn’t know where it will explode.

And it was during this period, in the year 507 of the imperial calendar, that the time bomb began to time out.

“The crown prince is dangerous. This is a guy who will one day explode and blow away not only himself but everyone around him. You must never get involved…”

To think that way…

“Extras! Outside!”

Someone’s voice echoed outside the barracks.

“Sergeant Andre.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s get some newspapers.”

“Yep!”

After throwing some coins to Andre, he went out of the barracks and bought a newspaper. In the newspaper it was written like this:

[A new star rises in the empire. His Royal Highness Prince Albert made a great performance in his first war.]

The content of the newspaper was as follows. The crown prince led 10,000 troops of the Southern Army and attacked an impregnable fortress. It was a battle where there was a shortage of supplies and troops, but the Crown Prince displayed his genius commanding skills and achieved a landslide victory with very little casualties.

However, there was something that was not written in this newspaper. Although there was very little casualty, most of those casualties were from the Black Lion Knights. It was an order of knights that formed the core of the empire. Even if the number of dead is small, it does not mean that the damage is small. Because the pillar of the empire is dead.

Secondly, it is said that the Crown Prince demonstrated genius commanding skills, and the reason he won here was despite Beginner’s Luck. The crown prince’s strategy won’t work twice. This is because it is a strategy that, even if you encounter such a crazy attack once, you will never encounter it if you know about it.

Since I played the game, I was well aware of the hidden content that was not written here. Perhaps no one knows the future of this world better than I do.

“Hmm… ”

It’s good that the Crown Prince won in the South. This will be of great help to the empire.

However, under the pretext of winning this battle, the crown prince will launch a crazy charge in the next battle, and will be greatly broken in that battle. A huge number of troops will probably die by then.

conclusion.

It would have been better for the crown prince to lose this battle. The next battle was really messed up.

I don’t know who the Crown Prince will choose to fight alongside in the next battle, but I hope it’s not me or the Northern Army at least. Because I don’t want to lose my people. I prayed that sincerely.
