Chapter 89.1: The Battle on the Left Started

The Battle of Silesies first battle started at the left flank.

Diagonally to the left of the royal armys goose line, a clash between the 20000 mercenaries from the Germania Empire against the 5000 Garan Mercenaries of Silesie Kingdom started.

Against the 20000 imperial mercenaries that were almost encircling them, the Garan mercenaries were resisting boldly, skillfully coordinating with each other.

Their fighting spirit was strong and their bodies were light, not the fighting style of mercenaries who only work for money.

Leader Garan, you are working very hard today.

Nokon?

Garan turned to see Nokon Geek, a mercenary in light leather armor, equipped with a short bow.

Leader, out of the way.

Oh

Nokot hit the mercenary, who was about to slash Leader Garan, in the head with his bow.

Seeing the dumb enemy mercenary rollover, Nokons laughs.

Nokon, who used to be a thief specializing in dungeons, has been helping Leader Garan to organize mercenaries as a staff member, even though no one has asked him to do so.

He probably thought it was time to retreat now as well and came to check if he could help around.

He was an unusually hard working man among mercenaries, many of whom are lazy except for fighting.

Youve been instructed by the employer to fight against 20000 while we were only 5000. You dont have to be stubborn.

No, Im not being stubborn.

Leader Garan swings his large hammer and smashes the enemys head including the helmet.

Ho!

Nokons smile deepened in amusement as he fired his short bow at the oncoming enemy mercenaries.

You dont know how incredible the skill of Silesies hero-sama is. He has stepped onto the 88th floor of the White Tower of Trials in one day.

Sixteen bronze cannons roared. The imperial mercenaries on the left wing were violently shaken.

Many of the mercenaries had never seen a cannon before.

Above all, they were scared by the roar of the new weapon that spewed fire. They were scared when they saw their allies being blown away by exploding shells. Then, the gunners fired a volley of shots at them.

Another series of violent roars and iron bullets came flying. The mercenaries started dying one after another without knowing what hit them.

The mercenaries numbering as many as 20000 begin to crumble before the power of Silesies new weapon.

Of course, the empires side has its own strategists.

The imperial strategist with a young age of 25, the Almighty General Forcas Domos Dylan, had the mid-level mages on the left flank to bombard the other side with rain.

Cannons and guns are vulnerable to water.

Of course, General Forcas knew this information.

However, even as rain clouds covered the left flank of Silesie army, even if the dry land of Silesie was moistened by rain, the sound of firing cannons and guns did not cease.

Of course, this was because the volunteer army had taken measures against rain.

Water-resistant tents and fortifications lined up with ratman fur. It would have been different if they had continued the water assault for a longer period of time but it already rained and guns and cannons never stopped.

The imperial army made the mistake of attacking deep into the volunteer armys lines and even taking along large and slow siege weapons.

Good! Its our time to shine!

The Garan Mercenaries, who had pulled back to join the volunteer army, struck back at the enemies who they had lured in.

When the offensive suddenly turned defensive, the army could no longer maintain its control.

The mercenaries were a rogue army. No matter how much the knights shout at them, they run away instead of regrouping.

Everyone ran for their lives leaving only large ballistas and trebuchets in their wake.

Without soldiers to protect the perimeter, not a single siege weapon was left. The Germania mercenaries retreated and the siege weapons were all destroyed.

The left-wing of the imperial army, which was supposed to attack the royal capital of Silesie, collapsed.
