Episode 123. Counterattack Prelude (6)
Was he conscious of the secret in and out last night?
The enemy stood guard between the Ajou camps and thoroughly guarded the encirclement.
To be honest, I was a little worried because they showed no signs of falling asleep until the moon went down and dawn passed.
I’m afraid that the surprise effect won’t show up at all.
But they never failed my expectations.
“The sentinel’s placenta is dozing.”

Just before sunrise.
By the time the light slowly spewed out from the horizon, they were falling asleep one by one.
In addition to the relief that the night had passed, he must have been vigilant because he thought it would be easy to see us going back and forth since it was daytime.
I glanced back once.
After being fully armed, the knights lined up in front of the front door came into view.
Those who gathered regardless of the Holy Knights and the Imperial Knights.
They were all staring intently at the back of the head of Pellin, who was in the lead.
“It looks like we can sortie.”
“Prepare to sortie.”
Hearing my report, Pellain’s voice spread softly.
With a rumble, the knights picked up the helmet and pressed it.
There were no other unnecessary sounds.
They just kept silent and waited for Pellain’s further orders.
“Come quickly. I’ll sortie.”
I ran to Trie, who was beckoning urgently.
Then, holding on to the strong hand, he rode the horse with the tree.
It’s a shame because he doesn’t know how to ride a horse…
I wanted to learn horse riding as soon as possible.
Looking to the side, Einz was also riding a horse with Taylor, the deputy commander of the Holy Knights.
It’s hard to believe, but that guy is the core strength of this battle.
It is no exaggeration to say that Einz started and ended this battle.
“············”.
Looking up at the sentry tower, Erica also had her eyes wide open and focused.
I would have written and checked the recipe all night and repeated it.
Since the size is not normal, it must have been a long time before it was completed.
Of course, there was no one else here but Erica who could write that huge formula without mistakes, so I had no choice but to poison Erica.
Be strong.
I’ll let you sleep all day when you’re done with it.
“Everyone has held up well so far. Now it’s time to fulfill the duties of the survivors. We fight for our fallen comrades.”
“············”.
“Do not be afraid, everyone. I am with you.”
“············”.
“Open the front door.”
deed de de…
As the soldiers clinged, the latched front door began to open vigorously.
Suddenly, the sun rose over the horizon, illuminating the earth brightly.
He’s still sleepy and can’t make up his mind.
And the guy with his palms raised and his eyes wide open due to the light shining down on him.
Their condition varied, but what was certain was that they were all unprepared to meet us.
We immediately passed through the narrow front door and in an instant formed a 10th row assault formation.
“charge!”
“Waa!!!”
Fellin’s decisive command.
As a result, a shout rang out, and the formation began to move in full force.
The target is the enemy camp in front.
It looked like a refugee camp, with dozens of tents spread out randomly.
Gooa…
“Wow!”
Although the number of cavalry could not exceed 40, it was enough to create a dust storm and shake the heavens and the earth.
Add to that the roar of roars, so the enemy would not have been able to learn without noticing the surprise.
But it was already too late.
Soon, the prisoners who looked out of the tent and dyed their faces blue.
“Do not stop! Break through!”
“Wow!”
The first clash was trivial.
Some of the spearmen who were waiting wanted to resist, so they immediately threw away their spears and started marching.
I couldn’t run away a few steps and I got hit by a horse’s hoof and died.
And the second crash.
“Aww! What is this?!”
“Why the f*ck are the cavalry here?”
They attacked the camp at once, and the tip of the spear flooded the prisoners who ran away in their underwear.
They knocked down the tent and charged as they were, chasing after them and stabbing them.
When the spear broke, he drew his sword and cut it.
In an instant, Jinyoung was filled with screams and became a father-in-law.
Most of them left the camp without a weapon and ran towards the forest.
Chasing them would be a waste of time.
“separation!”
Pellain’s roaring voice resounded in all directions.
The charge formation that had been fully maintained until then was split in half exactly.
Holy Knights and we to the right.
The Imperial Knights Templar on the left.
It was demonstrating advanced technology that cleanly separates formations without crashing or stuttering.
“Huh? Are you coming this way?”
“············”.
Now it was time to drop the mace to the rest of the camp.
The surprise effect would have virtually disappeared.
But instead, fear would have been engraved on them.
Seeing that the camp where hundreds of people were garrisoned was swept away and wiped out in an instant, an irresistible fear must have settled.
“Damn it! Run away!”
“Damn it!”
And that fear is contagious.
If you release the spear from the side, they will throw their spears one by one and run away.
Only less than 20 cavalry were coming in, and the enemy had lost their will to fight early.
“Break through!”
crashed again.
Over the fences and barricades, the knights cut down all the conspicuous beasts.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of Pellin, who was at the forefront.
Pellin was hanging from side to side without changing the direction of the horse at all, cutting down the enemy.
No emotion could be read from that cold helmet.
What does she think about killing her people?
“Shulus! To the left!”
“······································································!
There was no time to be lost in the afterglow.
Now I had to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible.
As Treer pointed out, we saw a beast trying to pass through to our left.
A prisoner who seemed to be in fear while wearing chain armor.
Without hesitation, I drew a long sword with my left hand—
spatula!
“100 million!”
cut off the guy’s head
After that, there was nothing harsh.

Just cut diligently and bell again.
As I continued to run, I ran into the Imperial Knights from the other side.
We circled the right half circle of the fortress, and the Imperial Knights circled the left half circle, sorting out the enemies and finally meeting them.
Looking back, the place we had passed was covered in blood.
Most of the enemies besieging the fortress were fleeing here and there with the command system broken.
It was to annihilate the enemy’s encirclement.
“Regroup!”
But there was no time to cheer.
We completely repulsed an enemy ten times as many as ours, but that wasn’t a sufficient victory.
At Pellain’s signal, the Imperial Knights walked towards us and lined up with Oh.
All of a sudden, we were once again walking towards the front gate of the fortress.
“Wow.”
“Uhhh…”
A groan that could not be concealed could be heard from here and there.
It was definitely a breathtaking sight.
Beans sprouting up on the ridge in the distance.
That was the head of the enemy soldier.
It was also a cavalry wearing heavy armor.
Even I swallowed my saliva at that magnificent view.
Enemy cavalry sprung from one castle to another as we swept through the infantry camp with joy, and suddenly the enemy cavalry gathered on the ridge.
“Whoa….”
His arms were trembling.
I’m like this too, but what about Einz?
I suddenly turned around and…
“Hey, that, that—I’m going to deal with that? Gigi, really?”
“············”.
Einz’s face was very contemplative.
No one else and Einz was in trouble.
As soon as it hit 12 o’clock today, I used up all of my ‘selection and concentration’, so I only had 1000 magical powers today.
Even if I draw a barpe, I don’t know how much I can survive against that many cavalry.
It means that you have no choice but to stake everything on Einz.
I got a little closer to Einz and put my hand on his shoulder.
“Huh?!”
“Don’t be nervous. You can do it.”
“Ah… Schulus. I really should have done it.”
“Yes. You are leading this battle to victory. There is no other person other than you.”
“I-I-I-I-I am.”
Einz lowered his head and started repeating the same words over and over again.
what. Is this bastard broken?
Then it’s a big deal.
If Einz became unable to fight, he had to immediately withdraw the army and lock himself in the fortress.
Without Einz, if you come face to face with that insane army, your annihilation is certain.
“So this battle, I’m the protagonist!”
“uh······.”
“This is your chance to play solo! I’ve been waiting for this, damn it!”
“············”.
It seemed like there was no need to worry.
“The enemy is cohesive!”
The enemy began to assemble the cavalry that had been spread wide and form a charge formation.
It seemed that it was simply to show off the numbers to give a sense of intimidation.
However, even with more than five or six layers, the enemy’s formation was twice as wide as ours.
That number is about a thousand.
It was clear that all the cavalry that could be drawn urgently had been gathered.
“charge.”
Even in this situation, Pellain’s voice was so calm.
Feeling a certain sense of stability at that consistent voice, the charge formation began to advance slowly.
The enemy was also heading this way, presuming that he was ready to charge.
Soon both sides reached full speed and ran towards each other.
It was a game of chicken that was destined for destruction, with neither side willing to stop.
“······································································!
Soon the enemy’s formation began to change.
Both sides protruded forward, and it looked like they were wrapped around us.
I remember seeing something like this.
Hak Ik-Jin (鶴翼陣).
okay. It was obviously Hak Ik-jin who tried to surround us with a numerical advantage.
I’ve come too far now
Even if I slowed down here, I couldn’t escape.
“For the Empire!”
“For the sake of the Empire!!!”
Spear knives were rushing towards us from all directions.
However, the knights did not care at all and only shouted.
3 seconds before crash.
It is the prelude to a counterattack.
