Battle to recapture Zenon Plains

“Bae, Count!! It’s a troll! A troll has appeared!!”

“Troll? A troll? Why did trolls appear in such a small mountain range? They’re hard to see unless you’re in a deep, large mountain like the Monster Mountains or the Dragon’s Breath Mountains…”

Count Mula, who was watching the pursuit of the Balkan army at the tail end of the retreat procession, expressed doubts about the report that a troll had appeared, but then frowned at the screams of soldiers coming from behind and the sight of the camp in complete disarray.

“If a troll appears, wouldn’t it be enough to repel it!! There are over 20,000 heavily armed soldiers here, so why make such a fuss just because of one large monster?”

“Sorry, sorry!! I was so embarrassed that I stopped…”

“If you understand, kill the troll quickly so the soldiers don’t get upset! I know very well that it is quite difficult to catch a troll in the forest at night, but it is still a monster. If you lure them into the middle of the army, surround them, and throw spears at them, you can easily deal with them. Do I have to give instructions for every single thing like this?”

“No! We will take immediate action to stabilize the soldiers!!”

A chamno who had posted a report about the troll seemed to have finally come to his senses after Count Mula’s harsh reprimand, saluted and quickly ran to the back.

“Tsk tsk… They seem like they’re not very smart… Hehe~ I guess I’ll have to suggest to His Excellency that we conduct thorough training again for lower-level commanders when we return to our home country.”

However, Count Mula could not even imagine that what the Tesseito army was dealing with were not ordinary trolls, so he continued to focus on the rear guard, thinking that it was simply the inexperience of the lower-ranking commanders leading the soldiers.

And it turned out to be the worst outcome for Tesseito-kun.

Deep in the forest at night.

The commanders of each unit rode around on horseback and began to pull together the Teseito soldiers who were running away frantically.

“All surviving troops, gather in a place where you can see the fire!!”

“Don’t run away! If you run away into the forest, you will only become their food!! If we stick together in one place, trolls won’t be able to attack us easily!!”

The commanders gathered torches together and mobilized wizards to create a huge fire, and the soldiers wandering deep in the dark forest quickly began to rally thanks to the voices of the brave commanders and the lights visible from afar.

And then the Teseito army’s counterattack began in earnest.

“Cast the net!! Block the trolls’ movements with long spears!! And tie their limbs with chains!!”

“Archers, shoot arrows to keep their movements in check! Shooting at their hides won’t have any effect, so aim at their eyes as much as possible!!”

Sushi Sisik!!

As countless arrows, nets, and chains were used to suppress the movement of the trolls, the cavalry was dispatched.

“Cooo!!”

Several trolls that were not yet completely tied down roared and tried to resist, but they were knocked down one by one by the cavalry’s charge, and it was only after seeing all fifteen trolls fall that the Tesseito soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief.

“Each unit must identify casualties and report damage!”

Count Mula, who remains in the rear in preparation for the pursuit of the Balkan army, the Marquis of Grace, who is seriously injured and unconscious, and the Duke of Tiruen, who is busy tending to his injuries, and Esgran, Tiruen’s adjutant, who is in charge of the troops, is responsible for the damage suffered by each unit. After receiving the report, I frowned.

“Huh~ The death toll is over 1,000? Even though they are trolls, does that mean that much damage was caused to just 15 of them?”

“Anyway… It seems like a lot of damage was caused by soldiers who fled to the forest to avoid the troll attack. Moreover, since it was my first time experiencing a situation where giant monsters, which usually live alone, attacked in groups like this, my response was poor…”

” Well… I’ve never seen such a large monster walking around in a group. Even if you have heard of small-sized goblins and kobolds, and medium-sized orcs…”

“Wouldn’t it be better to start preparing now? Because they were retreating in line, there was greater damage. Even from now on…”

“But if you crowd together on this narrow mountain road, the speed becomes too slow. There won’t be any more monster attacks anyway, so if you leave the mountain range at high speed as soon as dawn tomorrow morning…”

Wadangtangtang

“It’s a big deal!!”

“What’s going on?!”

Esgran, who was talking with his staff and looking for a way to resolve the current situation, frowned at the sight of the messenger falling in front of him in a hurry.

“Boo, it’s fire!! The wagon storing the hay caught fire!! We are trying to put out the fire somehow… but since there is not much water nearby, the drinking water we have stored is limited…”

“What, what?”

As soon as he heard the messenger’s worst report, he immediately mounted his horse and rode away, continuing to ask the messenger questions.

“Are you saying that someone set the hay wagon on fire? There wouldn’t even be a torch near the carriage, so how could you!!”

“It is said that a troll took advantage of the commotion caused by the troll group earlier to sneak up on the guards, kill the guards, and set them on fire!! There were huge troll footprints left around the carriage!”

“Wow, this is ridiculous… Trolls set fire to a wagon storing hay? It must be monsters’ instinct to be afraid of fire… but how can they…”

However, when he arrived on horseback, what he could see were haystacks burning brightly, which meant that the horses had to starve until they reached Zeno’s territory.

“Sprinkle sand to put out the fire on the wagon!! At least we must get three days’ worth of hay for the war horses to eat until we reach Zenon!!”

Following his instructions, several soldiers hurriedly rushed to put out the fire, carrying sand in shovels, but their heads were thrown into the sky by a pair of axes that flew out of the forest at lightning speed.

“What, what?!”

“Crrr… (Ajin tribe… We will attack the enemy from now on! Show them clearly how scary the trolls in the forest are. Show them how terrifying we are compared to regular trolls. Let me see it!!) Big wow!!!”

With Ajin’s roar, about twenty trolls attacked the Tesseito soldiers.

The Teseito soldiers, who were somewhat at ease because they had previously repelled the attack by a group of trolls, began to die gruesomely from Azin’s axe and the trolls’ weapons.

” Form your formation!! If you do like you did before, you will be able to defeat those guys again!!”

“No!! It is not easy to form a formation due to the heat from the hay fire!!”

“Also, the road here is much narrower than before!! We cannot operate troops in large quantities!!”

Esgran bit his lip as he heard the advisors’ report.

“Send the knights in!!”

“Ha, but… Most of the knights in our army belong to His Excellency, the Duke of Tiruen…”

Since most of the knights in Tesseito’s army belonged to Tiruen’s personal knighthood and not to the formal army, the staff showed hesitation.

“That’s not the situation right now!! I will report to His Excellency Tiruen later!! Quickly bring the knights!!”

“Yes! Okay!!”

In the end, the staff summoned the knights using communication magic, and when they saw the soldiers being brutally slaughtered by the trolls, they immediately began to cling to the trolls.

Kaang!!

“Such bastards!! How dare a troll attack a human! From now on, we will… What!!”

“Whoaaa!! (That’s enough! Retreat into the forest!”

If it were an ordinary troll, it would have been easy to subdue it with two or three intermediate knights, but the trolls led by Ajin, through his quick judgment and quick movements that were usually trained on him, escaped the knights’ siege in an instant and entered the forest where the fire had spread. ran away to

“Chase the trolls! You must not miss it!!

The knights who entered the forest chasing the trolls saw only one troll blocking their path.

“Good. I don’t know what’s going on, but I can easily get rid of this one and start over. Everyone quickly surround that guy…”

dump

The knight who had drawn his sword while looking at Ah-jin was decapitated in an instant by the ax that Ah-jin had thrown and fell to the ground. The knights, who knew full well what the bluish energy on the ax was, opened their mouths in shock.

“Ma, Master…”

“T, the troll is the master…?”

“Cooo!!”

And with Ajin’s huge roar, the trolls hiding in the forest began to attack the knights all at once.

The knights, who were terrified by the energy contained in Ajin’s roar and the momentum of the Master, immediately began to be slaughtered like ordinary soldiers by the trolls’ weapons.

“Damn it! Wake!! From now on, let’s join forces to kill a troll or two and open an escape route! Even if that master is difficult, at least a regular troll…. Wow!!”

Moreover, in between battles, Ajin threw axes full of boogie and assassinated the knights who were trying to lead them, so they fought randomly and only perished.

“This is a nightmare…”

“Woman, I never thought I would be bullied by a troll here… I’m sorry, Excellency Tiruen…”

In the end, most of the 100 knights who chased Ah Jin became corpses and fell in the forest, and Ah Jin’s existence was made known by the few knights who barely escaped.

“What, what? Is there a troll master?”

“That’s right!! It looks like the attack targeting our troops was his plan! Moreover, the trolls directly led by that troll were especially strong, so even we as knights couldn’t handle them!!”

“Damn… Damn!!!”

In the end, Count Mula returned to the base by a messenger sent by Esgran, but Ajin, who sensed the master’s energy with his sensitive sense unique to the forest trolls, gave up his regrets and quickly left the battlefield with his clan.

“Kwoaaaa!!! (This is enough! Lord Yuno told me not to overdo it and to attack the enemy just enough so that my clan is not in danger, so I retreat from here!! It’s a shame that the trolls who lived in this area are dead… but they’re not my clan and it’s none of my business.)◦ @◦

Even though all the trolls who roamed the nearby mountains and obeyed Yuno’s orders were killed, Ajin did not blink an eye and retreated with only his clan, and infused mana into the magic tool that Miri had given him.

After a while, the trolls he led disappeared without a trace, and Count Mula, who returned to the base, and Tiruen, who was surprised by the report and rushed to recover, saw the main base in disarray, 5,000 casualties, and The only terrible thing was that all the hay that the 10,000 horses needed to eat had burned.

And a week later, when Tiruen arrived at Zeno’s Tesseito army camp in complete disarray, what caught his eye was the flag of the Balkan Empire army waving in the wind.

Meanwhile, in the bathhouse of the government office installed by Tiruen to manage the Tesseito army garrison, the four people Yuria, Isabella, Marie, and Yuno were strengthening their harmony as a family.

Of course, unlike other families, Yuno’s dick was completely swollen, clearly showing his desire, as they were all in their natural state without any clothes on.

Moreover, all three mothers, Yuria, Isabella, and Marie, were looking at Yuno’s lower body with their appetites and secretly opening their bodies to seduce him, so Yuno was jumping into the bathtub happily worrying about which woman to choose.
