164 – Mercenary Captain Martin’s First Departure (4)
When the order was given not to run, the magic of the allies poured towards the enemy.

The magic used was mostly fire magic, which was the most efficient in killing people among lightning, water, fire, and earth magic.
The enemy hit by the spell was engulfed in red flames and began to burn brightly.
The firepower was so strong that the human body looked as if it were burning like a greased torch. This sight seemed surprising to me, who still retains the common sense from when I lived in Korea.
‘It’s not like they used white phosphorus.’
“Ugh!”
“Save people!! Argh!”
“aaah!”
The screams seemed to have slowly subsided, and those who had been hit by the lightning were reduced to ashes, exhaling black smoke.
Along with that, the barrage of arrows from our archers relentlessly drove the enemy soldiers without giving them time to even blink.
The guys who were unable to come to their senses after being hit hard by magic were even hit with arrows, so the disruption of the battle line was clearly visible even from a distance.
“f*ck, my eyes! Ahh!”
In the meantime, the enemy units continued to issue orders to reorganize their battle lines…
“Keep your head straight….”
It was a necessary order to survive, but the person who gave the order died before he could finish his sentence.
Meanwhile, Karin continued to draw her bow and encourage her archers.
“If we fire at least one more shot, less of our children will die! Even if your finger bleeds or feels like it might get cut off, shoot!”
In this way, we succeeded in launching a preemptive attack, but the enemy was not one to sit idly by and this time, we heard a fatal message from our mercenary unit.
“Help me, ugh!”
Starting with that scream, screams began to erupt from all over our mercenary unit.
“My arm! My arms, ugh!”
“My shoulder, my shoulder.”
“Keuok, 10…”
Seeing the Montmartre guys getting excited because the emperor was watching them, there was no sign of them going wild with excitement.
‘This is what war is all about.’
I raised my eyes and measured with my eyes how much distance was left to where the enemy troops were.
“I still have 200 meters more to go, damn it.”
200 Meters is a very short distance that can be covered in 2-3 minutes if you walk alone…
At that distance, you will be hit by the enemy’s magic attacks 4 times, and you will be showered with arrows so many times that it is difficult to count.
Ha, I don’t need magic or anything, so I just want to fight with spears facing each other.
When I was grumbling inside and thinking about how to break through the enemy lines.
Fireballs and other magic fell all around us and our mercenaries.
The unlucky ones who were in the area where the magic fell were burned alive to death.
“Wow, it’s hot! “Ugh!”
When a scream that seemed to give goosebumps even from afar rang out, some of the new recruits stopped in their tracks, even though the veterans did not know about it.
They couldn’t move with their legs closed, like they had something in their pants.
“Uh, uhm…”
This is an area that cannot be done no matter how hard the soldiers are trained, so I did not have any complaints after seeing this scene.
In the midst of this, it’s amazing that I didn’t see anyone turning his back and trying to run away to save me.
‘It’s worth it to work hard for three months.’
And those guys heard warm words of encouragement from their seniors.
“If you don’t move forward, you’ll be killed by me, you bastard.”
Through training, the guys knew what would happen if they disobeyed their superior’s instructions, so they somehow moved forward even though they were trembling.
“Yes, yes!”
As I continued to move forward like this, when the distance from the enemy was only about 30 meters left, I quickly looked for Lucia.
“Lucia!”
She had fought on her battlefield many times like me, so there was no need for her lengthy words in this situation.
“Finally, deliver a big blow to the enemy lines!”
At the same time as those instructions were given, the wizards chanted the most powerful magic they could use and fired the magic towards the front row of enemy spearmen.
Before I became a mercenary leader, the only mid-level wizard in our mercenary group was Lucia, but as we recruited new recruits, the number and quality of wizards improved.
It was clearly noticeable that intermediate magic was interspersed with low-level magic.
“Fire Spear!”
“Fire Ball!”
“Fire Lance!”
The unfortunate enemy soldiers in the area where the magic swept over died while feeling the burning pain of the fire.
“aaah!”
And the enemy also fired their magic at a slightly later time than us.
“Fire Lance!”
The hot wind was so strong that it even reached me who was in the middle of the mercenary line.
It’s hard to see because of the smoke, but quite a few of the soldiers at the forefront of our mercenary army must have died from this magic attack…
But now is not the time to dwell on such thoughts.
Now that it’s like this, it’s a fight to see who can come to their senses even one minute and one second faster and quickly reorganize their formation.
‘The side that prepares its formation first and attacks has the upper hand.’
“Reorganize your formation! Reorganize your formation, there is nothing we can do about the dead, but the living must live!”
When I gave that command, our mercenaries started moving quickly as if their feet were on fire.
The platoon leaders kicked the butts of those who were wandering around and made them come to their senses.
“Move as trained! “Fill the empty seats, you bastards!”
New recruits seem to come to their senses as soon as they hear the word ‘training.’
He held up his spear and quickly filled the empty seats in the row in front of him or next to him.
“f*ck, f*ck! “You have to move to live!”
Of course, the enemy troops in front of us were also moving quickly and reorganizing their formation…
The important thing is that we succeeded in rebuilding our formation faster than those bastards.
‘It may be a small difference, but war causes a huge butterfly effect, right?’
I ordered with a smile, grateful for this great opportunity.
“Lower the window and stab me just like that! Strike the first row, and the second row immediately steps in to assist!”
When the order was given, the soldiers of the first line of our mercenary corps pierced the entire bodies of the enemy soldiers with their spears.
“f*ck you, you bastards!”
The enemy, who was attacked while reorganizing his formation, was unable to respond properly.
As a result, even though the mercenaries under my command stabbed him with spears, he had no choice but to suffer.
“Ugh, sh*t!”
“That crazy dog…”
“Jin-hyung again, ah!”
It is rewarding to repeat the training to reorganize the formation.
If I hadn’t given this training properly, it would have been delayed for our mercenary unit, which had more new recruits, to form a formation.
We would have been unilaterally attacked by the enemy’s long spear attack while forming a formation, and we would have been knocked back.
It was true that if you behave like a dog during training, the number of allies sacrificed will increase!
‘From now on, I will have to secretly increase my training volume by 1.3 Times.’
While I was lost in those thoughts, the soldiers in the second row quickly ran out next to the soldiers in the first row.
At best, it was just a matter of moving quickly and stabbing one or two steps…
“Die, damn it!”
When the second line of soldiers stabbed the enemy with spears, this time more enemy soldiers were stabbed to death by the spears.
Seeing our mercenary unit active like that, using skills learned through training rather than individual combat capabilities, makes me smile even during the war.
“It would be great if everything goes well like this…”
As I muttered that, the guy next to me, who was in charge of the assault troop leader, came up to me, giggling.
“Captain, shall I stab you like this? “Then I think all those bastards will be killed.”
It is an attractive proposition.
The enemy troop formation has collapsed due to an attack that continues from the 1st line to the 2nd line, so what if we deploy only the elite troops from our mercenary corps that can be used as Aurors?
We could crush all those idiots holding the black pig flag.
‘But the war doesn’t end just because we catch those bastards.’
“Those bastards aren’t the only ones we have to deal with.”
“Just annihilating them is quite a feat.”
“Alberto, people should have greater greed. And then you have to keep up with the other guys next to you.”
“I understand. Instead, you must give me a chance to participate in this battle.”
Instead of pushing back the assault force, which was the hidden ace of our mercenaries, I gave a different order.
“Don’t attack with your long spear just because the enemy’s lines have collapsed! Destroy the enemy slowly and thoroughly!”
“Yes, boss!”
The guys who served as liaison soldiers ran with broken legs and delivered orders.

“He tells me to push straight ahead with the polearm!”
“Go a little slower!”
“This is an instruction not to show off! Slowly, kill them thoroughly, one by one!”
As soon as the order was given, our mercenary soldiers continued to stab the poor fellows who had pressed the first button incorrectly with spears.
Because the formation was scattered, they were unable to fight using their group strength, and as a result, the enemy’s resistance was virtually meaningless.
“f*ck! Step back! “Take a step back!”
At a time when the enemy commanders came to their senses and tried to reorganize their formation, even doing the unmanly thing of running backwards.
A liaison soldier approached me.
“Century Hilde is asking if it is okay to push back those who are retreating. How should I convey this?”
“Tell them that it’s okay to push them away, but that going on a rampage alone is prohibited.”
