Episode 323 Clash between Devon and Celia (1)
Devon’s forces rushed fiercely.
They cross the border lightly and run in a straight line towards the wall.
“Kill all of Celia’s children!”
“Show me what it means to go against Devon!”
“Wow!”
Seeing them flocking with a shout that shook the earth, the Cheoninjang, who had been lying in ambush in the mountains, raises his hand.
“Now! Shoot!”
With those words, the archers rose up.
Temporarily release the bow string that was pulled taut.
Tap-! widely-!
Wedge-!
Hundreds of arrows were aimed at the vanguard of the Devon Kingdom.
A rain of arrows suddenly fell from the mountain, and they panicked.
I thought I would definitely do Mercury, but I didn’t know that I would hide behind the mountains and shoot arrows.
Thanks to the unexpected attack, dozens of soldiers who were running forward were knocked down.
“Aagh!”
“Every ambush! Avoid everyone!”
As the front line collapsed, the commander on horseback gave an order, striking the arrows.
“Besiege the ambush archers! Prevent them from returning to the castle!”
Devon’s soldiers came to their senses and hurriedly climbed the mountain range.
However, Celia, who prepared for all situations in advance, acted quickly.
Celia’s soldiers had entered the castle before they had even climbed halfway up the mountain range.
Then, a full-fledged Mercury composition took place.
A bloody battle broke out between Devon’s soldiers climbing the wall and Celia, who stopped them.
While everyone was busy moving, Ray was just relaxed.
“Hey, there’s a ladder hanging next to you. Are you going to leave it as it is?”
As if it were someone else’s fight, throw a few words of instruction from the side.
The ten seals could not reply because they were sweating profusely.
If you let go of the tension even a little bit, Devon’s soldiers climb over the wall.
In addition, the magic corps below were overusing magic to break down the castle gate.
At a time like this, there was no time to argue with such a bob bug.
Ray, who was walking around and looking around the soldiers, slipped away somewhere.
It didn’t help anyway, so it didn’t change anything even if that one person escaped.
Or rather, the soldiers stopped hearing his voice so they could concentrate.
Kwaaaang—!
A large piece of magic exploded into the castle gate.
No matter how strong the castle gate was made with the help of magic stones, it could not withstand such magic indefinitely.
Looking down at the situation, Cheonbujang burned his stomach.
“There is a limit to holding out. One day the gates will be broken.”
There’s no way it will break tomorrow, but it has to last for at least a week.
His pride could not tolerate retreating after only holding out for a few days.
“I have no face to see Your Majesty.”
It is Devon who led the magic corps.
No matter how much they defend themselves against the wall, they can’t help but be at a disadvantage overall.
On one side the centurions shouted.
“Shoot your bow! Don’t let your hands rest even for a second!”
“yes!”
“yes!”
Even so, the archers seemed to catch fire in their hands.
Even from a distance, the difference in numbers seems to be 3,000.
It is said that there are more than 1,000 people in the vanguard and 6,000 people who follow.
Thanks to that, I was able to shoot arrows at random without aiming at a specific target, but when there were many Devon soldiers climbing over the wall, I was only anxious.
‘Can I really survive?’ A disbelief crept up in their heads.
It was no different for the commanders.
It’s a force that’s almost twice as big.
“Three of this guy, this guy, and that guy. The sum is eleven. All of them leaked our military information.”
I picked it up without any hesitation.
The thousand chief asked with a suspicious look.
“...how can you believe what you said?”
So far, trust is a ray that has thrown all trust into the ground.
This reaction could be taken for granted.
Ray pulled out a piece of parchment from his bosom.
“This is the letter they were trying to send last night. I missed two, but got one safely. Open it and read it.”
The millennium accepted it.
After reading the article for a while, their troops and tactics are clearly trodden on.
In addition, it was very similar to the handwriting of Baekjangjang he knew.
It was more resentment than bitterness at the betrayal of Baekjangjang, who had been by his side for a long time.
Enraged, he gave the order.
“Put these bastards in jail right now! Don’t even give me a sip of water!”
“I see.”
As the situation became more and more strange, it was those who had been laughing at Ray that were now taken aback.
I thought he was a nerd who only knew how to idle around, but behind the scenes he was looking for people who had gone through the cracks.
The surprises continued.
Ray bowed his head to the millennium commander.
“Now that the ganja are gone, this is an opportunity. You have to move right away.”
“Moving... are you saying you’re going to hit them?”
“that’s right.”
The thousand chief doubted whether he was sane.
The numerical difference is almost twice as large.
Is that all? Devon, who even led the knights and magic corps, was literally like a moving fortress.
Both attack and defense are superior, so it is unlikely that they will be eaten easily even if they do a surprise attack.
He shook his head, as if it wasn’t worth thinking about.
“Capturing Ganja is commendable, but we cannot surrender our troops. Anything more than this would make Mercury impossible.”
Ray didn’t back down either.
“Your chance is now. If we miss this time, the only answer is to retreat from now on.”
At the confident words, the ceiling shook for a moment.
‘Maybe that’s true.’
I thought it would be a good idea to leave it to him when I saw the excellent mindset of deliberately showing indolence and deceiving the guardsmen and the military force of throwing soldiers away with one hand.
The Cheoninjang sighed and said,
“This is war. You can’t bet tomorrow on things you’re not sure about. Are you sure you can make good use of this opportunity?”
Ray smiled at him.
“I’m sure by now you’ll be drinking your toast and keeping your guard down. If you can’t catch drunk guys, you’ll have to hit the centurion.”
The answer was enough.
“I can command a thousand soldiers. I will add seven hundred of them. Together with the four hundred, the sum is eight hundred. Compared to them, it’s a small number, but I think it’s enough for a surprise attack...”
“I’ll bring you good news.”
If there are eight hundred people, it is full and overflowing.
In any case, Ray intended to stir them up to the fullest.
You must not win this battle.
This is because more enemies may come.
It maintains a moderately tight atmosphere, but sees an opportunity and reverses it in an instant.
That was the way to win while reducing the consumption of troops the most.
In his opinion, the winds of war do not end only with Devon and Celia.
It will probably spread out over the entire continent.
For the future, it was necessary to save their strength for public enemies.
Ray took off his mask while looking at the Ten Commanders under him.
His gray hair was disheveled, revealing mysterious blue eyes.
When his beautiful appearance was revealed, the audience froze in an instant.
In the middle, Ray put the commander’s cape on his shoulders, which he had never worn before.
The red cloak that symbolizes the kingdom of Celia swayed in the wind.
“Follow me. I will make each one of you a hero.”
It was the time when he led his troops directly to the battlefield.
