122 Episode 122: Decisive Battle

"Is the altitude taken by the enemy ..."

"Well, the enemy is waiting for me."

I stare at the Roselle troops on the hill.

The hills are not that different.

Still, taking advantage of heights in the war is advantageous.

You can fight vigorously with gravity.

"I understand the details of the enemy force. Mr. Almus."

Lulu gives me a piece of paper and explains.

"The total enemy troops are 32,000. It seems that they have joined the remnants who lost to the army in the previous battle and have increased slightly. 30,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry. Of 30,000 infantry Seven thousand seem to be slaves. We have 60 elephants. "

After all there are many enemy forces.

The Gauls have a better physique than the Adernians and therefore have a higher fighting ability.

It is absolutely disadvantageous for infantry fighting.

Their troops are 13,000 infantry and 4000 cavalry.

Infantry is half the enemy and cavalry is twice the enemy.

At least it would be easier without an elephant ...

"King. I'll show you winning next time. Last time I was pierced by the enemy, but this time I will wrap it and crush it."

"I'm counting on you, Bartolo, because I can't give any instructions while holding Cryu."

The Roselle Army and the Allies first commenced messenger exchanges.

Both are surrender recommendations.

Naturally, both parties could not accept and the negotiations broke down.

Both sides laid a strong line, and three days passed without any steps while glaring.

Both are exploring the gap.

Meanwhile, it began to rain.

It is rare in the Adernia Peninsula to rain in summer.

The raindrops drenched the soldiers' skin.

We usually do not fight in bad weather.

It is the same as not playing an outdoor sports game such as baseball on a rainy day.

It is usually avoided on bad weather days as the conditions worsen accordingly.

But Cryu was different.

"Now, let's start the war. Tell the soldiers to oil the skin."

"Is it moving ..."

A report from a sorcerer who continued to monitor.

General Cryu seems to be preparing for the war.

I didn't have to be careless just because it was a rainy day.

However……

"What does it mean to fight while it's raining? Do you like rain?"

It isn't a bad law to fight on a rainy day, because it's each other that the condition worsens.

However, it is common for them to avoid damage because they both increase the damage ...

"King. It looks like the enemy has begun to move."

"It looks like. Do you know why General Cryu moved his troops on a rainy day?"

When I heard, Bartolo quietly nodded.

After all there is a reason ……

"Why do you think the king is?"

"Do you like rain? I don't know. Tell me."

I ask Bartolo obediently.

Bartolo grinned and pointed at the ground.

I look at Bartolo's pointing ground.

The ground was painted and muddy because of the rain.

My feet dig into the ground and it's a bit hard to walk.

The sandals have been applied to the mud and are very uncomfortable.

Hmm? Let's sink in ...

Is that something?

"Is it a cavalry measure?"

"Yes. Horses that weigh heavier than humans have more legs than humans, which means that they are less mobile. The elephants move slowly from the start, and they are the decisive weapon of the Roselle army, but not the main force.

I see……

I'm thinking a lot. What is a great general?

I also have to follow.

"I think there is another reason."

As he turned around, Alexios had a refreshing smile. It's a handsome face.

But you're rude if you break into the conversation between your minions and the king.

If you're not me, you won't complain if you get killed?

I can't say a word.

Alexios walks here, wondering if that doesn't work.

"Are Alexios as expected?"

"Well, I thought it was a rainy 60% day."

This guy has some problems with his attitude, but he is still a great general.

I want to enclose it somehow ... because I don't know what I want.

Bartolo asks Alexios that she has such a mystery.

"What's another reason?"

"It's a bomber. I heard that it sounded like thunder, white smoke, and flames. It's raining now. Isn't it surprising that General Cru thinks that the flames will seal the bomber? "

The detonator of the bomber is a Tetra firing spell, so rain does not matter.

The gunpowder is in a wooden tube and does not get wet.

Weapons that are influenced by the weather are not made.

But since Cryu doesn't know about the structure of the bomber, there's a good chance it could lead to that idea.

"But I think that's what I'm expecting, because General Cryu doesn't do this risky thing with speculation alone."

"No, it was an interesting opinion. Well, let's get ready soon."

In this war, it's not going to lose just because it's raining.

The Allies formed a slightly thicker center and a thinner left and right wing.

The center was thickened to prevent General Cryu from breaking through the center, and the left and right wings were thinned to siege General Cru.

The main force is the Equus cavalry, which is placed on both wings in equal numbers.

It was clear he was aiming for a siege.

On the other hand, the Roselle army forms a so-called fish scale formation in which the center is thickened and both wings are retracted in a form that challenges the formation.

The decisive battle elephants are ten on the right and left wings, and forty in the center.

This is developed on a screen.

The winged elephants were widespread, with light infantry and cavalry filling the gap.

The two armies first started with a spear, a stone, and a bow and arrow as usual.

Both are over 10,000 soldiers.

Death falls on the soldiers as fast as the rain from heaven.

Soldiers raise their shields and protect themselves.

Most throwables are shielded, so there is no noticeable damage.

However, the arrow and the spear pierce, and the heavy shield can no longer be used.

The soldiers who lost their shields retreated back.

At the end of the throwing attack, the two sides begin to move together.

On both wings, Allied cavalry and Roselle war elephants, cavalry, and light infantry begin to move.

In the center, the Roselle forces assault squadrons of discarded pieces, which are raided by Allied heavy infantry.

It's a slave squad that's upset with drugs and magic.

Slave units and Allied heavy infantry collide violently.

Again, in front of the fight, heavy infantry were dispatched, and slave units were pushed back and gradually lost their strength.

Still ...

"Cine! Cine! Cine!"

"Hi, hahahahaha !!"

The crazy slaves run their eyes and rush into the hoplite's spear forest.

There is no fear of death in his eyes.

Allied forces falter on slaves who do not retreat even if injured.

"What's these guys ..."

"Creepy ..."

Allied heavy infantry are drunk by apparently strange enemy infantry.

Despite the fact that the number of slaves is about to drop below one-third, their steps will not stop.

It was when the heavy infantry began to feel scared.

The movement of the slaves began to be disturbed.

"Titch! @ Pussy girl ... a tantrum obstruction ..."

Mari taps her tongue.

Magicians, including Mari, controlled the mental state of slaves from remote locations.

However, coming here, the connection suddenly became heavy ( ).

Obviously an enemy sabotage.

(Sure, there's a sorcerer called Yulia ... looks pretty good.)

"Concentrate more! You are my disciples. You should not be incompetent enough to lose to the magicians in the countryside! Continue spells on Teams B, C and D. Team A with me I will start attacking the enemy! "

"That ... this is more than you can imagine."

Julia was bewildering with the strength of the enemy's connection.

It's easy if you break the connection.

Julia was shocked to think so deep in her heart.

There is not enough training yet.

"Okay, Yulia. It's enough if you can get in the way. There's Almus on the front."

Tetra encourages Yulia.

Tetra was also involved in the attack as a sorcerer.

Tetra's magic is still at the banquet art level, and the backing can be more active than the battle.

"Yes. The war is a team battle .... Everyone! Let's do our best!"

"Oh!"

The sorcerers raise their hands and raise their voices.

His voice is as loud as the men on the front.

This is a fierce battlefield like the front line.

"Julia !!!! The enemy has come back!"

"After all. Lulu!

"I understand. I'll show it to my shit!"

Lulu raises her thin chest and is challenged by the enemy.

However, attacks from enemies are intense, and sorcerers including flutter and Lulu are cursed and fall.

"Uh ... my head is throbbing. Yulia-sama doesn't seem to have another five minutes ..."

"But do your best. Until the men defeat the enemy, it's a bit more ..."

Julia smiles at the sorcerers, suffering from a headache.

As with Julia, many of the magicians here have husbands.

Their husbands are now exchanging life with the madmen on the front line.

They cannot fall down here now.

How much time has passed?

When Yulia's headaches reached their peak, Seo-young cried on a reconnaissance mission.

“The enemy is moving! The central elephant moves!”

At the same time, Yulia's headaches subsided.

That meant that the enemy sorcerer had stopped interfering with the spirit of slavery.

"Somehow, I've endured!"

The sorcerers fell all at once in the mud.

“Don't remember!

I raised my voice and inspired the soldiers.

Thanks to The Great King's Blessing, the mental state of the soldiers can be understood to some extent.

They are scared.

People show fear for unknown or incomprehensible things.

For them, the madmen who are not afraid of death are unknown.

"Ah ah !!!!"

I sever the neck of enemy soldiers one after another.

The neck flies in the air.

These guys are laughing and dying ...

I feel bad, really.

"Oh king!

One of the soldiers gives a surprised expression and advises.

I laugh and answer it.

"No, you're behind. The whole army !!!! I'll continue !!!! I'm a child of the war god !!!! Don't remember this much !!!"

Whether you're hearing rumors about my child of war god, or the blessing, or the morale of the soldiers will rise.

"Don't remember!"

"Keep on the king!"

"God is with us!"

The soldiers also lose their spears.

The front line, which was being pushed a little, starts to pick up.

"As expected!"

"Well, it's not just me."

The enemy soldiers visibly slowed down.

Now he is a bit hesitant at the moment of his death.

Human-like emotions are returning.

It was proof that the Yulias had made some progress.

How many soldiers have you killed?

A messenger soldier ran a horse.

"What happened?"

"The elephant unit of the Roselle army is moving! We want you to be prepared for the assault of the enemy main unit!"

Finally the cryu moves ...
