Commanders, including myself, had concluded that the Allies could not be defeated by conventional means.
Of course, it wasn’t that there was no way at all.
If I didn’t insist on Navaletta and lay down with a determination, I was confident enough to deal with it… … .
I decided it was dangerous to do so in a situation where I didn’t know when Ronberg would join the war.
‘Since I’ve roughly noticed what Ronberg’s goal is, I can completely rule it out and come up with a strategy… … It’s a gamble.’
That’s why I adopted a method to widen Yorgil’s defense line.
I only remembered this at the end, but… … .
Information about my bodyguards hadn’t spread in detail yet, so I thought it was possible.
After the first day’s battle, the allied forces launched a night raid.
Me and the SS broke away from the front line and started running.
“Everyone stop. I will rest here for five hours.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
After running non-stop for almost a day, I arrived near Mayfield.
We were pretty tired too, but nothing compared to a horse that rode directly.
Alan opened his mouth as he brushed the hard-earned horses.
“I was really scared when the river demons used this, but I didn’t know that we would use it so usefully.”
“In a place where you can’t use Mark, there’s nothing like this.”
“Even with the assistance of the horseman, I never thought I would be able to run at this speed for so long.”
“I usually don’t even think about it. Thanks to that, we can aim here now.”
This operation was also established because the allied forces did not know exactly about Bima.
Conversely, if the enemy knew this, it would not be eaten.
I have boldly ruled out the number of cases.
“Even the Matu people were surprised, saying they didn’t know that Bima, assisted by the horseman, would be to this extent.”
“Even within the kingdom, very few people know about it.”
It was said that it was impossible to know unless the person who had handled Bima to the limit with the assistance of the horseman.
While I was preparing to lie down and rest for a while.
One of the black furnaces, Rient, asked a question.
“Your Highness, I want to confirm one thing.”
“What?”
“What do you plan to do if a situation arises in which it is difficult to attack Mayfield with the strength of the SS?”
This question was asked because there are currently no top forces, including the captains of each unit, here.
I disguised myself as Hones to deceive the enemies, and left behind 2,000 troops including Leah and Lahos… … .
“You mean the number of times the enemy noticed our plan and responded?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Hmm, that’s right. I don’t think I know because there’s not much movement yet… … .”
I thought for a moment and calculated the worst case scenario, then continued.
“If you think the odds of winning are over 30%, attack.”
If this fails, the war is virtually lost.
In other words, it was necessary to move even at the risk of massive damage and danger.
Hearing my answer, Rient lowered his head.
“I’ll keep it in mind, Your Highness.”
“There’s nothing to worry about too much though, since I don’t think it will go that far.”
After the conversation was over, I took turns closing my eyes, albeit briefly.
Since then, it has moved cautiously.
Although they had come all the way to Mayfield, the number was 3,000, so they could have been caught.
Then, when we arrived at the promised place, Rien’s National Guard was waiting for us.
“You arrived earlier than expected, Your Highness.”
“Yeah, I think you arrived about two hours early.”
With only 3,000 members of the Royal Guard, it took considerable effort to capture Mayfield.
Not only that, but as Rient said, it was difficult to respond when an unexpected variable occurred.
In preparation for this, except for the minimum troops needed to protect the front line of Lien, it was a situation where it was scraped together.
This brings the current force to attack Mayfield at 6,000.
“But are you okay? I think we originally planned to add 2,000 people.”
“Yeah, I did a little overdoing it.”
“It’s the end if we don’t capture Mayfield anyway.”
“If the surprise attack starts, they won’t even think of targeting this side, so I really left only the bare minimum.”
“Okay, then let’s review the strategy.”
He exchanged information with the National Guard and waited for additional reports from the allies.
If he doesn’t come, he’ll just move at the appointed time… … .
Still, knowing the current situation on the battlefield, this side can also cope with the variables.
About 30 minutes before the push, the report arrived.
I read it with concentration, but Alan, who was watching it, asked.
“Your Highness, what is it written on?”
“The night attack failed as planned, and we are being pushed back, but the allied forces didn’t launch a full-scale offensive.”
“… … Then you must have executed the retreat to Navaletta in the middle of the night.”
“I can’t confirm because I sent a report before that, but it says I will.”
The original plan was to retreat while being naturally pushed back by the Allied attack.
However, they moved more carefully than expected, and I thought it was probably Schwein’s influence.
‘… … As Rient said, the allies might have our plans in mind.’
When I first planned the strategy, I thought that it could be like this.
There was a Schwein who was famous for being meticulous and discreet.
‘It’s good that I put a lot of effort into manipulating the information.’
Was it intentionally made to underestimate the strength of the SS on the first day?
They fought poorly, limiting Bima’s performance as if showing off.
Disguising Hones as me and leaving Lahos and Leah behind.
It was all done to deceive the Allies.
No matter how much they thought of this possibility, those who did not know Bima’s abilities were bound to fall prey to this deception.
“Before we move, let me explain the current situation one last time.”
Not only the bodyguards, but also the defense forces in Rien listened nervously to my voice.
“Our goal is to capture Mayfield and increase Yorgil’s defenses.”
If this operation was successful, it would greatly reduce the number of troops available for Yorgil’s offensive in the subsequent war.
“There are several variables to this. One is reinforcements from Baltimoor.”
Baltimoor was not far from Mayfield.
But the odds of that were considered low.
“You will be fighting the western warriors right now, so reinforcements will be difficult. According to the information, the troops are not at their best.”
For the rest, Baltimore held up better than we expected, or reinforcements came from elsewhere.
I wasn’t too worried about this.
“We should be able to crush Mayfield without difficulty. According to intelligence, there are only 4,000 troops stationed there.”
When thinking based on enemy movements obtained through reporting.
For the enemy’s reinforcements to come here, no matter how fast it was, it would take three or four more hours.
In other words, it was enough to destroy that place within it, but I was confident of doing that.
“Once occupied, Lien takes over the defense of Mayfield, and we advance and put pressure on them.”
The ultimate goal was to separate Yorgil from the Allies.
If you don’t move, you’re going to continue robbing empty houses.
If they move, holding out in Mayfield will ease the burden on the allies.
“It’s just dawning.”
It was about the time when the dark blue sky turned orange with the rising sun.
Together with the Royal Guard and Rien’s Defense Forces, I looked down at the destination.
“Then it seems that the preparations are all over.”
clap.
At my words, they straightened their arms.
It was to prepare for an important battle that would decide the outcome of this war.
Imprinting on my body their eyes mixed with exaltation and tension, I continued.
“We capture Mayfield today.”
“Follow Your Highness!”
After that, everyone started running.
The 6,000 troops rushed furiously without any intention of hiding their presence.
As a result, Yorgil’s troops guarding Mayfield were greatly embarrassed.
“What, what!?”
“Red raid! It’s an enemy!”
Kurrr!
The iron wall soared at the shouts of the Yorgil soldiers.
Hidden in the ground, all kinds of defense devices protruded.
This instantly turned the flat defense line into a fortress.
The steep iron walls piled up in layers reminded me of a huge cliff.
“It’s an invasion of the kingdom and Rien! Aim for the cavalrymen!”
Click, click, click!
All sorts of weapons protruded from the iron-walled citadel that soared like stairs.
At the same time, the magic formula came to mind, and the magic bombardment relentlessly aimed at the bodyguards riding the Bima.
Then, Yorgil’s soldiers waited for the cavalry to fall… … .
“… … !”
The cavalry evaded the attacks pouring down from above as if it were natural.
At this, Yorgil’s soldiers doubted their eyes.
‘… … what is that? Is it the power of the weapon?’
I already knew that the kingdom’s cavalry had excellent mobility.
But I’d never heard of it moving like this.
“… … Never mind, attack! Limit their movements!”
Magical bombardment, crossbows, and all sorts of traps rising from the ground.
Their real purpose was to kill the momentum of the advancing enemy.
Attacking the enemy and taking his life was one of Yorgil’s main strategies to protect Mayfield.
Kwakwagwagwang!
The bombardment from all sides did not disintegrate the SS.
However, he succeeded in driving the Yorgil soldiers to where they wanted.
It was not far from a steep cliff.
If they were concentrated there, they could have gone down and attacked right away.
“I hit the kingdom army like this! spread out… … ?”
Taat!
The cavalry leaped in unison.
Jumping into the air, they naturally stepped onto the steep iron wall.
Doo doo doo doo!
The guards started to climb the iron wall as if it were natural.
The sight of numerous cavalrymen climbing up a near-vertical slope was truly overwhelming.
It was as if it was devouring the defense line itself.
At this, Yorgil’s soldiers were at a loss for words for a moment.
However, the commander of the Absolute Corps did not show any interest in their reaction, and exclaimed indifferently.
“You’re within range, shoot!”
Do-do-do-do-do!
Soon after, the cavalry of the SS guards following behind launched an attack.
Arrows pouring down fiercely in a straight line pierced Yorgil’s soldiers attached to the iron wall in an instant.
The attack reached the forts at each stronghold.
Kwagwagwak!
Not everyone could easily respond to the fierce power.
“Damn it, once you get your platoon together… … .”
Quaang-!
Rien’s soldiers did not miss that gap.
They broke into the fortress and started attacking.
“In this gap, conquer Mayfield’s fortress one after another!”
“Form a formation! While facing them, waiting for the allies to join… … .”
Kwajik!
Invisibility magic flew towards Yorgil’s soldiers.
Everyone was surprised by this, and the range of boundaries was increased.
Kwagwagwagwa-!
A violent storm overtook them.
It was an attack on the Hwangeukdae and the Yeokrangdae, which he climbed on horseback, but Rien did not miss the opportunity.
“Now, strike!”
“Kuh… … !”
These streams continued at each fort in the defensive line.
Accordingly, Mayfield’s leadership made a quick decision.
“Gather all forces in the center! Abandon the outer fortress!”
Their judgment was correct.
Against those cavalrymen who ignored all kinds of devices, it was meaningless to spread the soldiers widely to keep them in check.
It was more effective to gather troops and hold on in the center.
but.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The darkness that seemed to surround them spread in an instant.
They turned their eyes at the unusual magic power that accompanied it.
“According to Rien’s information, this is the fortress where the commanders gathered.”
“… … !”
“Two princes… … !”
“Hit them.”
Pod!
As soon as I gave my instructions, the black furnaces started rampaging.
Their skills were also formidable, but they were no match for the Black Fury, who was assisted by me.
“Your Highness, everything has been taken care of.”
“How is the situation elsewhere?”
“Since the commanders in the center have also been eliminated, only individual defeats remain.”
“Tell them to finish it in an hour.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
While Rient went to deliver my words.
After finishing the treatment, Alan calmly opened his mouth.
“The occupation is easier than expected.”
“It was possible thanks to Bima. If it wasn’t for this, we would have struggled too.”
The simple power of the soldiers was superior to the SS.
Even so, I couldn’t help but struggle when I thought of these terrain and devices.
Thanks to Bima, I was able to ignore this.
“That’s right. Siege was easier because the forts were spaced apart.”
“That’s right, this side just needs to ride on the Bima and break each one.”
While watching the fall of Mayfield’s other forts from the center.
Rient, who went to tell me, hurriedly returned.
“why? What’s going on?”
“Yes, Your Highness! Enemy reinforcements are pouring in from the rear!”
“… … !”
At this, I hurriedly looked outside.
I was a bit taken aback as it was still too early for the allied forces to arrive.
Seeing the people rushing by, I said with a little relief.
“… … Thankfully, you’re not from the main Allied Forces.”
I noticed the one leading the enemy army from the front.
A woman with purple hair, like Daid Yorgil.
‘Sai Yorgil… … !’
