Chapter 435

EP.435

Meanwhile, a messenger ran toward Carlos, Commander-in-Chief of the Francois Republic.

Any person with two straight eyes, even the commander-in-chief, can immediately tell whether the news is good or not just by looking at the facial expression of the messenger running towards him.

The messenger who arrived in front of me had puffy eyes and was sweating profusely.

‘This is fucking bad news.’

“I will report to you. “Commander Lafayette was killed in action.”

It is rare for a division commander-level officer to die on a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of armies clash, but it is not impossible.

If that had happened, the messenger’s expression wouldn’t have been so crumpled.

Therefore, the other staff members, including Carlos, swallowed their saliva and waited for the next words.

“The man who cut off his head is Lieutenant Friedrich Jaeger, a member of the Reich Imperial Army. He is probably the son of Marshal Jaeger. Thanks to this, the enemy’s morale is skyrocketing and our infantry formation is slowly collapsing!”

Carlos heard this and stood up, slamming the desk in front of him.

I thought it was just a dream, but even the sky was indifferent.

The impact of hitting the tree felt like pain in his hand.

‘Peter Yeager alone is driving me crazy, but on top of that, his son...’

He grabbed the back of his head and slumped down on his chair.

“This is a disaster...”

The staff wanted to say a word to comfort him, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on the commander-in-chief, who was frozen with the expression on his face that he had just lost his parents in an accident.

It’s obvious that if you come forward, you’ll end up as someone to vent your anger on, so you have no choice but to keep your mouth shut and remain quiet.

“What the fuck! 16 18 Send the 19th Division to provide support! “If the infantry line collapses, our army is finished!”

Several staff members immediately ran out and delivered the order.

“Deputy Commander Clemont!”

“Yes, Commander-in-Chief!”

“Come with the backs of the Reich Imperial Army infantry! “The victory or defeat of this war lies in the hands of the honorable and courageous knights of our Francois Republic.”

When Clemont heard those words, he expressed his firm determination and saluted.

“Our knights will defeat Peter Yeager’s army here today.”

“I’ll trust you.”

Then he went straight to where the knights were and spoke.

“The Commander-in-Chief said that the victory or defeat of this battle lies solely in the hands of our knights! Proud knights of the François Republic, let’s go out to achieve the glory of victory!”

With those words, 30,000 knights rushed out at once to pierce the gap between the Reich Imperial Army’s infantry.

Soon, a loud voice arose among the knights of the Reich Empire.

“There’s a huge dust storm rising up ahead! “I suspect enemy knights are approaching!”

Anya smiled bitterly at those words.

“I heard there are 30,000 enemy knights, so I need to be very alert. Isn’t it? Major General Andersen.”

Major General Andersen was originally a northern chieftain, but was specially selected for his ability to read the market and his achievements in saving Peter Jaeger and Bastion Castle.

He nodded and answered.

“Except for the Francois knights being loud-mouthed and somewhat arrogant, they are strong enough to be compared to Ludvik’s cavalry. “This is someone you can’t let down your guard against.”

“Long live your Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Great Khan!”

Francois’ knights, seeing this, laughed at them.

“Those idiot archers dare to fight us head-on?”

“They will fly away if they hit us.”

“I guess I just went crazy because I wanted to die.”

Since the archer cavalry is approaching without even shooting an arrow...

Ultimately, the intention is to fight at close range, but considering that the clash between cavalry is determined by which side is heavier...

‘What is that, I want to die? Are they crazy fire moths?’

I couldn’t help but think this way.

However, Deputy Commander Clemont did not let down his guard at all even in this situation.

“The opponent is that damn Peter Yeager. There’s no way that evil bastard would let his soldiers get slaughtered... I’m told he’s up to something.”

However, once the knight starts charging, there is nothing they can do but charge.

If you suddenly stop in anticipation of the enemy’s unexpected plan, you will be hit and killed by those coming behind you, and the same thing will happen even if you change direction.

‘Eh, I don’t know. Just attack like a knight.’

Then he raised the lance in his hand and shouted.

“Long live the François Republic!”

All the knights followed the command, raising their lances in the sky and shouting.

“Glory to the French Republic!”

“I will fight against oppression and injustice!”

“For the glory of the Republic!”

At the same time, everyone put on their helmets, pointed their lances at the enemy, and spurred their horses.

When it was time to just attack, Andersen twitched the corner of his mouth and gave an order.

“Now! Move according to plan!”

With that command, the archers began to split in front of the enemy in a ‘V’ shape.

When the Francois knights saw that, they felt goosebumps all over their bodies, even after seeing their unexpected attack behavior.

Because the knight who started the charge had no other way to deal with it.

I just hope that my horse and my life are safe from the arrows fired by those damn archers.

“Those crazy people.”

“But it won’t penetrate our armor. Even though it looks like this, our armor has even the arrows of the Zenobian crossbowmen...”

“You used a trick, you Reich Empire bastards.”

Still, everyone had some hope because they did not yet know the power of mechanical crossbows.

“Shoot!”
