“Viscount, they… … It appears to be retreating!”
It seems that he has sensed that his plan has gone awry.
There was a bit of a stir in the allied camp that was attacking the imperial army, and then they slowly began to withdraw.
Seeing this, Keynes quickly pulled the horse’s reins.
“Where are you going to run away!”
A staff wielding in the air.
“Element Magic – Earth Field!”
Ku-gu-gu-gu-!
Earl Jurumus was about to retreat while riding a horse.
As rumored, Kayneth’s eyes twinkled at the sight of him wearing red armor.
“Eh, what is this… … !”
Hey-!
Count Jurumus, who was galloping to the other side of the imperial army to retreat, saw rocks rising from the ground and quickly pulled the reins and stopped his horse.
Huge rocks rising from the vast grassland.
When Count Jermus stopped moving, Kayneth increased his speed.
“Wow!”
Damn it, knock it, knock it.
And the female knight clinging close to it.
“Viscount, the number of enemies… … !”
“Imperial forces will begin pursuing soon! So, take care of the red wolf right here!”
“but… … !”
Before the female agent said anything.
Wedge-Ae-Ae-!
Arrows from the front flew towards Kayneth, tearing the wind apart.
Kenneth was startled and quickly twisted his body.
“Keugh… … !”
An arrow grazed his shoulder.
A bit of blood flowed out, but at least it was literally just a scratch.
Kayneth cast the next spell while swinging his staff.
“Element Magic – Fire Cannon!”
Chunwaaagh!
Rays of red-hot flames were fired at the allies.
A huge flame that turns the whole plain into hell. The blow caused great screams in the allied camp.
“Even though you used so much mana… … .”
“Huh, what a crazy person.”
As if witnessing an unbelievable sight, the knights following Kayneth had their faces grotesquely distorted.
Their faces were filled with surprise, admiration, and despair.
Knights who lived 2 to 30 years older than Keynes. Even the training time will be dozens of times longer.
However, they realized the barrier of talent right in front of their eyes.
“When I was 14… … What were you doing?”
Some of the knights muttered that in a self-deprecating voice.
“All of you, stay alert! This is a battlefield!”
The middle-aged knight, the eldest among the knights, screamed.
Then the young knights who followed laughed bitterly and pulled the reins of their horses.
Damn it, knock it, knock it.
“I have nothing to see with you guys! Element Magic – Burn Flare!”
Kayneth gallops straight toward Count Jermus. He fired a huge explosion of flame towards the Allies in front of him.
Tuquaaang-!
“Aagh!”
“My, my arm… … !”
“Sah, save me!!”
Allied soldiers caught in the explosion.
Despite the screams coming from all directions, Keynes glared at the man in red armor, Count Caltron H Jurumus, with hard eyes.
And the allied camp, which became a mess due to Keynes’ intrusion. There were even soldiers who refused to follow orders from their superiors and started deserting.
I must say it was a mess.
“This, this… … ! Is that the wizard who stopped the 2nd Corps!”
A man in red armor who burst into anger in the middle of the battlefield. Caltron H Jurumus, who was once called a warrior of 100 victories, raised his voice with a scream at the absence of reinforcements and Keynes’ intrusion.
* * *
Tens of minutes before Kayneth’s group arrived. The Harperos Plain, the camp of the Labadian Empire.
The moment the allied forces approached the bottom of the hill, just a few hundred meters away. The imperial army hurriedly pushed the cart down the hill.
From noble mtl dot com
The allied forces had no choice but to show a puzzled look.
If even a rock was loaded onto the cart on a steep hill, the allied forces would surely have suffered great damage. However, the speed at which the cart rolled down was enough for three or four strong men to stop it.
“what… … .”
“Are you thinking of getting in the way?”
“Just step on the cart and go! The arrows keep flying!”
“But there is something on the cart… … .”
“They’re trying to send it off with some weight!”
Arrows and magic fired from the imperial camp.
The allied forces started running towards the carts while showing a puzzled look.
And Earl Jurumus, who was watching from the rear, hurriedly stopped the advance of the soldiers as if he remembered something.
“Mmm, stop!”
However, at the same time as his cry, hundreds of fireballs rose from the camp of the imperial army. It fell straight towards the cart.
Quaang! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
When the fireball collided with the cart, the pots on the cart were shattered.
A large amount of oil was then scattered in all directions, and then a huge flame erupted.
“Kwaaa!”
“No, water… … !”
The soldiers started rolling on the floor screaming.
The soldiers running towards the imperial army stopped in their seats and couldn’t move.
“Now! All archers, fire at the enemies in front!”
At the command of the commander, the soldiers pointed the arrows pointed at the sky as if they had been waiting, and pointed straight down the hill.
And the soldiers of the empire shot arrows at the hesitant allies.
Fufufufufufu! Fu-wook!
“Cheuk… … !”
“Bar, raise your shield!”
The shield soldiers who were leading the way ignored their burning comrades and pushed their shields forward.
Earl Jurumus, who was watching the scene, muttered a small curse.
“The Magic Knights, turn off the lights immediately! And the 2nd and 3rd Divisions bypass the flames and attack the Imperial Army!”
He gave instructions to control all soldiers and cope with the situation.
“damn! I can’t believe they prepared a strategy like this… … .”
In the end, the 50,000 army was divided into two and charged towards the imperial camp.
Soldiers on both sides began to collide across the barrier.
Earl Jurumus looked at his wristwatch with an impatient expression in the ongoing war of attrition.
“… … Why hasn’t it arrived yet?”
Despite his confidence that ‘the operation could not have been discovered by the Imperial Army’, a small uneasiness arose somewhere in his heart.
Is it because of that? Earl Jurumus hurriedly made contact with the army waiting in the forest. And the report he heard from beyond the communication port shocked him.
“No, that is nonsense. How could the bastards of the Empire… … .”
The commander of the 2nd Corps, in charge of the Harperos Plain belonging to the Northern Allied Forces, who had been in regular contact until morning. His face was drawn.
-… … The Imperial Army sent a wizard from the 5th Circle this way. Besides, to completely block the roadway and lead all the troops to the plain… … .
“this… … . Damn! Why didn’t you hurry up and send me a call!”
– Their attack was only about 15-20 minutes ago. They’re spreading fog, so I’m trying to control my men… … .
“sh*t!”
The more he listened to his remarks, the more the count’s face grew red.
“By the time the 2nd Corps arrives, the 1st Corps will already be dead. So take up your troops immediately and return to the Kingdom of Spert!”
– Oh, I see.
The light of the communication sphere began to fade slowly.
Earl Jurumus gave instructions to the telecommunicationsman with his fist clenched.
“To tell each division! Retreat!”
“yes… … ?”
“Is your ear canal rotten? Tell the division commanders that we are retreating!”
“Ah, I see!”
The signal soldier hurriedly took out the communication tools and delivered the order of Earl Jurumus to each division commander.
And as he glared at the imperial camp from the rear, he gnashed his teeth.
“why… … Who the hell figured out what I was doing?”
A plan that no one would have thought possible to put into practice. And I was sure that the plan would be a trick.
However, to think that there is someone on the Empire side who can see through their strategy.
As he commanded the army, his eyes flashed.
“This defeat… … I will definitely pay you back!”
The moment he vowed revenge.
Kwagwagwagwagwang-!
A huge beam of flame pierced his eyes.
* * *
“Your Highness, the enemy has begun to retreat.”
“The damage of allies is… … .”
“It has not yet been properly identified, but it is estimated that between 5 and 6 thousand casualties occurred.”
“Right. But the enemy’s second attack… … .”
“It is said that it has not been found yet.”
Five or six scouts sent around Ren’s Forest. They contacted me from time to time and conveyed the situation.
“It seems that Viscount Ardennes has been good to me.”
“yes.”
At Lebak’s short reply, Ryard looked out over the battlefield.
“… … Your Highness, would it be all right if I ask you something without rudeness?”
“What do you mean?”
“I wonder if Viscount Ardennes is really 14 years old… … .”
Ryard burst into laughter at Lebak’s question.
Yes, Lebak’s question must be something that the entire Empire has. No, if today’s war becomes known through newspapers, that question might be further heightened.
“I didn’t expect to use an empty cart like that… … I hadn’t even thought about it. Besides, you said you had no war experience… … .”
“Kuhhhhh… … It’s certainly a strategy that’s hard to believe a 14-year-old boy came up with. It may have been informed by the brilliant strategist of the Spey One family, but… … Because the boy named Kayneth L. Arden is someone who doesn’t have common sense in the first place.”
“that… … .”
Just because he reached the 5th circle at the age of 14, his existence is so… … It was bizarre.
Should I say that it is an existence that cannot be understood by common sense?
“Don’t think too deeply. It’s just wasting energy. More than that, the allied forces began to withdraw, but when will the Viscount… … .”
“Me, Your Highness!”
Ryard’s words from the low-ranking knight in charge of the messenger were cut off in the middle.
Didn’t they say that even a tiger would come if I said it? The knight, kneeling on his right knee in front of Ryard, posted a report.
Chapter 111
111. Harperus War (7)
“Viscount Ardennes has arrived on the battlefield!”
“… … It appears scary to say.”
“And a report from the communications unit. Allied forces moving in the woods are said to be retreating. however… … .”
The young knight paused for a moment.
When he showed a slightly suspicious expression, Ryard tilted his head.
“however… … ?”
The knight, who hesitated whether to report or not, immediately closed his eyes at Lyard’s question and slowly opened his mouth.
“That is… … According to the story of the Magic Knights, Viscount Arden is currently casting the magic of the 5th circle… … He had a surprised expression on his face.”
Following the report… … .
Tuquaang-!
There was a huge explosion in the vast plain.
The knight shrugged slightly.
On the other hand.
