Chapter 329

Episode 329 All-out war with Devon, the beginning (2)

When he said that he had been appointed as the chief of the millennium, most of the centurions responded positively, while the millennium chiefs were displeased.

That’s also true, because the person who was lower than them just a few days ago became their master at once.

“From now on, all troops in Prion Castle will be led according to my will. If you have any complaints, tell me now.”

Saying to express dissatisfaction, he radiates energy generously with his whole body.

Even a high-ranking mage walked around with ferocious spirit as if his mana, kneeling on his knees, would immediately kill those who had disagreements.

I felt a cool sensation on my neck right away, but there was no way the millennials would complain.

Their wrinkled faces brightened up at once.

“ha ha ha. If you have the experience of winning the battle with Devon, Ray Mansinjang will definitely be of great help in the war.”

Ray glanced at him.

Looking at his face, he was a centenarian who had always quarreled over his short talk when he was a centenarian.

He pointed out right away that he is a self-proclaimed great man with a kind heart, and that his afterlife is longer than the lifespan of a ta-ching dragon.

“By the way, are you a little short?”

When he said something displeased, the atmosphere in the hall froze.

Cheoninjang, who received glare from countless people around him, immediately changed his tone.

“...Will be.”

Only then did Ray nod his head as if satisfied.

“great. So, let’s start planning right away. The Devon army is right in front of you.”

One of the centurions, who had been sitting still at the table, had an opinion.

“In an all-out war, a surprise attack would be easy. Moreover, they are marching towards the capital without much rest. How about aiming for now when the soldiers are tired?”

“Hoo.”

It was a pretty good idea.

As Baekkyeongjang said, Devon’s soldiers were repeating forced marches.

In the evening, they camped out to catch their breath, but since they were marching from Crian Castle for more than two days, the fatigue must be considerable.

If you take advantage of the gap and make a surprise attack, it will surely pay off.

“If you have any objection, tell me.”

At Ray’s words, one of the millennials stood up.

“It’s not a surprise. Although Devon’s soldiers are weary, they are not numbered in thousands. To surprise an army of more than 10,000 people is unreasonable.”

“I am also of the same opinion as Heman Centenary. Certainly surprise is one of the good things, but not the best.”

That is also true.

No matter where you look in the military textbooks, you can’t find the crazy rumor that surprise attacks are effective against large armies.

“There are over 10,000, but they are exhausted! Now is the right time!”

“Huh! A surprise attack just because the soldiers are tired! In the eyes of the centurion, war seemed so ridiculous!”

They raised their voices and squabbled.

Ray, who had been quietly thinking while watching the scene, pounded the table.

It was only a light tap on the table, but powerful mana came through the skin.

At that, the mouths of the chiefs of thousands and hundreds fell silent.

He looked around and said.

“There is a point in Heman Cecilian’s words, but we can’t stay without doing anything.”

“...Even if we do a surprise attack, we don’t have time. To set up a proper strategy...”

“There is no time. So we’re moving tonight.”

The Cheoninjang, who was thinking of an opinion to refute the shocking statement, also forgot what to say.

Are you doing a raid today? Do you know what kind of small battle this is!

“Oh, tonight! Too hasty!”

It wasn’t just Heman’s ceiling that was surprised.

The centurion, who had been insisting on a surprise attack, was also taken aback.

For the first time, the opinions of thousands and centurions were unified.

“By nature, surprise is the law of taking your time and moving in perfect posture. I wonder if tonight isn’t too much...”

I tried to say something with a look in my eyes, asking for please to put up with the crazy thing about sending troops tonight, but Ray’s head just moved left and right repeatedly.

“Trust me. The position of a man-seal on your back isn’t something you got for playing around.”

As the day got dark, Devon’s soldiers reached the vicinity of Prion Castle.

After marching for more than two days, the soldiers were quite tired.

The eyes are black and dead, and the limbs hang limply, as if hanging from a stone.

If you saw it from a distance, you could mistake it for an undead.

Watching the Devon soldiers prepare camp and light a fire, Ray prepared to send troops.

Four thousand chiefs and fourteen centurions were selected.

split it in two

Icheon’s soldiers go through the canal, and the remaining Icheon ambushes in the forest.

Thanks to the use of the wide canal, four thousand soldiers could move unnoticed by the Devonians.

Ray instructed them.

“They say they are exhausted, but there are only 2,000 members of the raid team. So don’t overdo it and just break the surface. That alone will take a lot of morale down.”

“All right.”

“The ambush team is waiting here. We’ll give you a signal when we oil the canal, so shoot the flaming arrows right away.”

“yes. Just leave it to me.”

Rey smiled once at the answer of the millennium commander who was very stiff.

“All troops dispatched.”

Four thousand soldiers followed Ray’s words and moved.

Ambush and separate raiding parties moved slowly along the canal.

There were a lot of soldiers, so it took a little longer than expected, but because of that, the clouds rather blocked the moonlight.

Could the sky even help?

Thanks to this, I was able to arrive right in front of the Devon barracks without being noticed.

Just before they pulled out their swords, a Devon soldier who was watching the lookout hurriedly blew his whistle at the movement he felt in the canal.

Boo-woo-!

As the sound of rumbling air reverberates throughout the barracks, soldiers hurriedly rush out with their weary bodies.

Ray immediately gave the order.

“Charge!”

“Wow!”

Over two thousand soldiers stormed their barracks at one time.

He sets fire here and there and wipes out Devon’s soldiers before they even arm themselves with spears and swords.

As much as they were prepared, the effect of the surprise attack was great.

Ray belatedly realized the situation and cut down Devon’s commanders who were starting to step in.

“Aagh!”

“Stop it! It’s a surprise!”

He hurriedly informed them of the surprise attack, but the once-broken war situation did not return.

More than four hundred people died in an instant.

On the other hand, Celia’s damage was only a few dozen.

It was only natural that Devon was only in a hurry to block them compared to them who were facing them after forming a proper formation.

As the Celia soldiers, driven by the momentum, tried to advance deeply, Ray shouted with full of mana.

“Back off! You can’t go in!”

Then the soldiers hurriedly threw themselves out.

Ray quickly glanced around and read the battle situation.

Looking at the center, Devon’s soldiers, who had a certain degree of readiness, were rapidly gathering.

In addition, commanders also mounted horses.

If an all-out war breaks out properly, they will be at a disadvantage.

“Retreat! Go up the canal!”

Ray ordered a retreat without hesitation.

Since the word had been prepared in advance, the response of the soldiers was quick.

Just a moment ago, the soldiers who were fighting on the front had slipped away like the ebb tide.

Devon’s thousand chiefs raised their swords as soon as the medicine rose.

“Follow me! Show the cowards of Celia a lesson!”
