Chapter 436

EP.436

After the mechanical crossbow’s crossbow was fired, a hellish scene unfolded.

“Ahh!”

“Does this make sense?”

“Fuck you mom! Fall! mom!”

Crossbow arrows pierced through knights and horses wearing steel armor.

Blood and pieces of meat from horses and people were splashed everywhere, and the tremors emitted by people and horses burst out all at once.

Knights who lost their fighting ability due to death or injury fell from their horses and either died or were put in the miserable position of awaiting death in pain.

Even after being hit by a crossbow, the large, strong horses continued to run, but their speed soon slowed down significantly.

Then his legs got twisted and he fell, but the numerous knights who followed him were unable to avoid them and turned them into minced meat, regardless of whether they were horses or people.

However, those who survived the onslaught of over 4,000 crossbow arrows could not feel at ease either.

“Stop the fuck! “Peter stop!!!”

“A horse is a creature that can be stopped so easily?!”

“No, I don’t want to die!”

In front of their eyes, the corpses of horses and knights who had just been killed by crossbow bolts stood in the way like a small hill, and the horses they were riding...

“Step on them!” Even if those who die must die, those who will live must live!”

No matter how much the owner urged them to do so, there were horses that were reluctant to step on the obstacles in front of them and pass by.

And the price was that he was hit and fell by a horse running behind him.

“Please save me.”

The vanguard of Francois’s knights was first seriously damaged by the crossbows fired by the imperial cavalry, and was later hit by our troops chasing behind them, suffering near annihilation.

Formation is important for both infantry and knights, but especially in the knights’ charge, if the formation is broken, their strength drops to less than half.

Francois’ knights could not expect to fight properly until they reorganized their formation.

Clemont watched this scene, covered his mouth with one hand, and cried out bitterly.

“Fuck! Peter Yeger Lee’s dog’s eyes are digging and chopped and soaked in salted fish! ”

“Calm down, Deputy Commander. “The enemy knights are still charging at us!”

“Ugh! Fuck! Formation! Reorganize your formation somehow! If we continue like this, we will all die!”

According to the order, Francois’ knights had to bury their comrade’s death in their hearts and immediately reorganize their formation.

“If you don’t want to die, reorganize your formation!”

“Shouldn’t we just run away? Look over there, there are enemy knights running, raising dust, right?”

“Shut the fuck up. If you don’t follow orders, you will die now, but if you follow orders, you may live. “Are you talking because you don’t know?”

The order given by Clermont was the best that Francois’ army could do in this situation.

However, the problem is that it is difficult to expect much effect even if you reorganize your formation when you have already been trained in crossbows.

Anya, who was watching this from afar, smiled.

“Our Grand Marshal said so. “In war, the enemy’s misfortune is my happiness.”

As she said, Anya, as the commander, was truly happy about Clemont’s misfortune.

In normal times, she was a good person who offered help and help to those who were struggling and unhappy, but as a commander in war... she

was a person who was completely faithful to the idea that ‘the enemy’s misfortune is the ally’s happiness.’

“Brave knights of the Reich Empire, the time has come to strike the Emperor’s mace at those Francois slugs! Speed up!”

Then the knights following her cheered as they saw her.

“Major Karl!”

Carol responded to those words with her military spirit raised.

“Major Karl von Falcon, commander of the 18th Battalion!”

“You can’t lose to Captain Anastasia in military combat.”

Other officers and staff around Laura heard this and misunderstood that the two were engaged in a friendly competition.

“As expected, it’s Captain Laura. “You are very greedy as a soldier.”

“I don’t know if you are being promoted to a senior captain this time.”

“It was a good thing I followed this person...”

However, Carol, who had a close relationship with Grand Marshal Jaeger, saw it a little differently.

‘I guess those two people are trying to fight over who will achieve greater achievements and win His Excellency’s favor.’

“Yes sir!”

“I will take the lead. “I expect more performance than Bastion.”

Karl, who had achieved the rank of major at only 20 years old and was being compared to Peter Jaeger even within the Empire, felt the burden that was crushing on his shoulders.

And the surrounding staff and commanders also thought to themselves...

‘This is Major Karl from Bastion, so he will show performance that exceeds our expectations, right?’

Carol gave up something important at this time.

“Yes sir! Please trust us!”

“Good, the right wing of the Imperial Army’s infantry is moving according to plan as of the current time! Turn the unit at the right angle!”

Following Laura’s orders, Carol took the lead.

Soon, the right wing of the imperial army came face to face with the enemy army, which was struggling.

“Save people! “Platoon leader, is this crazy?”

“Desertion from enemy combat is a violation of military law!”

“Hold on with your spear! Long live the proud Francois Republic!”

Carol sighed in bewilderment when she saw the messed up state of the enemy she had encountered.

“When I fought in Bastion, the situation was more terrible than this, but I fought without backing down...”

One of Carol’s old friends next to him, who had now graduated from the academy and became a second lieutenant, sighed and answered.

“Major, our commander at that time was the Grand Marshal.”

“ah.”

“That’s right.”

99% of the people who rise to the military or commander level in any country are competent commanders, but Peter Yeager was a monster who turned them all into squids.

“Commander Vanguard! Commander Vanguard!”

My so-called sweet friend Marcus, who heard that, looked dumbfounded and stopped me.

“Battalion Commander!”

However, Major Karl, who was completely influenced by Peter Jaeger, did not listen to those words.

Of course, it was based on the premise that ‘the enemy is in panic, so it is worth a try’...

“You are the commander’s vanguard. If you are wronged, get ahead! Long live the Reich Reich!”
