“… … Isn’t this dangerous?”
These were the words of a commander who watched the strong demons lead an army of 40,000.
Of course, the reason the kingdom confronted them with a smaller force than the strong demons was because they had weapons.
But without using it, I had to fight against more troops… … .
“Vice-captain, do you really intend to follow the advice of low-ranking Cruz?”
Other commanders were also concerned about this.
Cruz’s guess was reasonable, but it was not an easy enemy for the strong demons to conserve their strength against.
“It’s not like I’m just listening to your opinion. I was thinking that too.”
“… … .”
“Also, this is also the opinion of the leader, who saw the danger of the Resurrection Church firsthand.”
The commanders could no longer say anything.
It was the judgment of a person who has been in charge of the leader of the largest and most competitive royal palace knights in the kingdom for decades.
As such, the dignity of captain Kahn Ibert was absolute here.
“In the midst of that, Lord Cruz said the same thing, so this is a judgment I made.”
“… … All right.”
“Don’t worry too much. Because the Royal Palace Knights aren’t weak enough to lose to a barbarian like that.”
After speaking, Habram looked left and right.
There were troops deployed there, and they were the core of this operation.
While the main army in the center blocks the enemy’s attack.
The main strategy of this battle was to attack the enemy as if the left and right armies were encircling it.
‘Actually, it’s not that there isn’t an element of anxiety… … .’
One of them was that a part of the troops on the left was being filled by Cruz’s detached unit.
In terms of power, it was possible enough, but… … .
‘His Majesty entrusted the investigation of the Resurrection Church. With the command of the Amcheongdae, the results were also produced.’
So, in terms of performance, it was no problem at all.
It’s just that I haven’t seen it myself and I don’t have experience on the battlefield.
Oh oh oh!
In the meantime, cheers rang out from the Gangma Tribe.
This was a signal to rush in.
The central commanders reacted quickly.
“The avant-garde, take a defensive posture!”
“The second unit, prepare to shoot spears and arrows!”
“3rd unit, prepare for artillery fire!”
Under the direction of the commanders, the main army of the kingdom moved in perfect order.
Cheer la la rock!
Spears and arrows loaded with magical power poured down like rain.
It was an interception aimed at the cavalrymen who entered within a certain distance.
Kwakwagwagwang!
Magic bombardment continued here, but all did not reach.
“What… … !”
“Don’t panic! Keep attacking!”
Spears and arrows were gracefully dodged, and the wide range of magic was blocked by cavalry’s defensive magic.
This was not simply the result of outstanding horsemanship.
One of the highest phantom beasts, Bima (飛馬) is called the descendant of the Heavenly Horse (天馬).
A magical weapon capable of blocking magical bombardments.
It was a possible move because these two factors were added to the proficiency of the trained soldiers.
“… … Is it possible to move like that on a horse?”
Alan, watching this, murmured, unable to contain his astonishment.
Others were silently affirming this.
I didn’t even deny it.
“It is amazing. To be honest, I thought it was a cavalryman before I saw it myself.”
“Then, does your older brother find it difficult to deal with them?”
“It is not.”
My attention was focused on my assertion.
It must be because of the remarks praising the opponent’s skills and the contradictory answers.
“Looks like you’ve been thinking about them. Can you hear me?”
“Okay, I was going to tell you later anyway.”
Judging from the movement of the strong demons, their target was not the center.
The real purpose must be to lure us in by pretending to be the mastermind.
“… … What is the basis?”
“Don’t you know just by looking at it? Those guys aren’t serious.”
There was quite a distance, but I was able to notice it by the flow of magical power.
It was the difference between those who moved without power and those who did not.
An elite soldier trained to the limit would have been able to fool even this.
They didn’t seem to be on that level.
“Aside from that, the look on your face shows that you’re fighting moderately, right?”
“… … Can you tell from that?”
“of course. Conserving your strength and suppressing it are two entirely different things.”
The movement of the river demons was clearly the latter.
I don’t know if I’m saving it for later battles, but I’m deliberately lowering my strength?
It was proof that something was up.
“Why are they doing that? It’s probably to make us mistaken with a high probability.”
After announcing that their level was this high, it was determined that it was a common lure to eat the enticed enemy in reverse.
Although it’s surprising that that movement isn’t power.
Other than this, nothing else came to mind.
“… … .”
When the explanation was finished, Hones and the people around him all remained silent.
It was as if I was at a loss for words in surprise.
At this, I looked away and asked.
“What does Praxia think of my guess?”
Unlike the others, she seemed to have heard what was expected.
“I agree with your guess. I know their strength.”
“Have you ever fought a battle?”
“I had a mock battle. I’ve seen them a few times since they like to show off.”
“Then you can confirm that my guess is true.”
“Then, have you thought of a solution to this?”
The look in Hones’s eyes changed as he asked the question.
Previously, I was just curious about my opinion.
Now I had a strange anticipation.
It was the same for other people watching me.
“Sure, yes.”
“I wonder what that is, Cruz.”
Morgan, who had been listening silently, urged him to speak.
Perhaps it was because the glasses were added to the ferocious eyes, but for some reason it created a sharp atmosphere.
I smiled lightly and answered without difficulty.
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just a matter of getting rid of that slack.”
The plan I came up with was simple.
By breaking into that situation and commanding a detached corps, you inflict damage on them.
In the meantime, the other troops in the kingdom had to defeat the strong demon cavalry.
“… … .”
There was silence again.
However, I felt a different atmosphere from before.
It was a silence that meant that it was possible.
“I’m back, my dear.”
“… … !”
Everyone was very surprised by the sudden voice.
I wouldn’t have been so surprised if I heard a voice I didn’t recognize in an ordinary situation.
But this was a battlefield.
Although they said they were in a safe place, everyone was not lowering their guard.
This was not an exception to Phrexia.
‘At some point… … ?’
If it was an enemy approaching now, I thought it would have been dead.
“Let me introduce you, Leah Onstad, the captain of the Dark Chungdae.”
At my introduction, Leah only lightly bowed her head.
“Amcheongdae… … Leader… … .”
“… … there, lower. Aren’t those troops under Her Majesty’s direct command?”
“that’s right. Thankfully, my mom said she helped me, so I didn’t refuse.”
After that, I stared at Leah in silence.
Recognizing its meaning, she calmly opened her mouth.
“It is believed that there are no other troops of the Gangma Tribe in the vicinity.”
“Okay, you worked hard.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Leah had arrived on the evening of the day I came to the front.
After that, I didn’t know when the strong demons would move, so I quickly asked for intelligence.
It was just reporting the results so far.
Swoop.
Morgan, who was watching me like that, corrected his glasses and said,
“Now you’re using Mama’s bodyguards like limbs.”
“Are you envious?”
“I’m not envious anymore.”
It was a casual conversation with Morgan.
Those who were watching swallowed their saliva as if they were nervous for no reason.
Even conversations that are close to jokes seem like a strange quarrel to them.
“Then brother and Hones stay here. Leah is back, so I’ll move soon.”
“Are you confident, Cruz?”
Morgan’s question, whether he doubts or worries.
I responded with a smile as usual.
“You know from experience that I don’t even start losing fights, right?”
hee hee-
After that, I started running.
Right before the charge, I told the other troops to follow my movements, so they will follow soon.
Doo doo doo doo-
The wind wrapped around her body like a curtain.
It was a sensation that accompanies riding and running.
I didn’t slow down, I sped up even more.
As they proceeded without hesitation, the river demon cavalry came into sight.
“That is the second prince! Catch him!”
Those who found me all shouted and looked away.
At the same time, they all turned in unison, and I could feel their mobility greatly increased.
The movement was noticeably faster than when dealing with the Kingdom Army in the center.
It was very threatening to see them running at me all at once.
‘It’s been a while too.’
From now on, it is only up to my skill and judgment.
At least, if my body was a 6 star, there would be no problem without an escort… … .
I haven’t reached that point yet, so I had to leave my security to the soldiers.
Tsutsutsutsu –
With his senses sharpened, he scattered magical fog.
Originally, it was a stealth-type detection magic that grasps the loopholes in the magic that touched it.
The one I’m using now was something I developed on my own.
‘Increase range and stealth to the maximum.’
By doing this, I was able to expand the range of demonic magic more than twenty times.
Far from activating a spell, it was transformed into magic that only detects the flow of magical power.
But when commanding an army, this was enough.
“Prepare to unleash defensive magic on the right side!”
At the same time as my instructions, the detached team finished preparing to hit the wall of wind on the right.
After a while, the rushing cavalrymen made a sharp turn.
As I predicted, I was aiming for the right side of the detached unit.
In response, the defense magic was activated.
Quaang-!
A wall of wind created by many at the same time blocked the charge of the cavalry.
It didn’t knock them down, but it did kill the momentum.
“Kill the attackers!”
“They scorned the kingdom! Don’t let even one of them live!”
“Kwaaak!”
“Don’t panic and fight back!”
Thanks to this, the detached unit’s attack worked.
The reason why our attack didn’t work properly was because of that mobility, but it was thanks to putting the brakes on it.
While trampling the enemies so beautifully, I sensed something strange and quickly shouted.
“stop-! Break away!”
When my order was given, the detached troops who were concentrating on the attack stepped back without regret.
It was thanks to training the soldiers of Ireland so that they could respond quickly to my instructions.
“From now on, we will fight back against them… … !?”
After the reorganization, the cavalry of the Kangma Tribe, who were about to attack, had no choice but to panic.
We managed to slip away just in time for the counterattack.
“Chase-! Even so, they are slower than us!”
It was as the river demons said.
Even if we moved first, they were faster, so we were caught up immediately.
“We’re going to fire from the right rear! Be prepared!”
Of course, that didn’t mean it was dangerous.
No matter how fast and strong my opponent is, if I can read how they will attack, I can respond.
Kwagwagwang-!
As I predicted, merciless bombing fell on the right rear of the detached squadron.
There were also magic and throwing attacks targeting me.
Quaang-!
The elites of the detached unit, including Praxia, quickly blocked it.
In order to read the opponent’s movements, I had to focus all my nerves on the finish line.
Otherwise, the scale and precision will be reduced… … .
So I was only concentrating on reading the flow of attacks.
Block the enemy’s attack once.
After a moment of leisure, Phrexia opened her mouth.
“Hey, can I ask you a question?”
“What?”
“How do you predict the movements of the river demons?”
“You know I’m using magic, right?”
“Yeah, something exactly similar, but… … .”
“It’s a detection magic that focuses only on reading the opponent’s magical flow.”
“… … Magic that can read the flow of magical power in this range?”
“Even so, I can only read the subtle level. Do you think you can read about 10% of the mana that is interlocked when you use the spell?”
“… … .”
Praxia had no choice but to doubt her ears.
As he said, if it was a demon that could read a weak level of mana, it would be able to use it on this scale.
‘But how can you predict the opponent’s attack with just that… … ?’
It was at the level of predicting expressions by looking at only part of the facial muscles.
Although it is possible for oneself to get it right about two times out of five.
100% accuracy, does this make sense?
“Well, besides that, there are things you can roughly judge by looking at their movements.”
Phrexia couldn’t contain her astonishment.
If you only look at the skill of the commander, isn’t it superior to the great warrior?
“… … Thank you for your reply, my lord.”
However, it was not the time to reveal such surprises.
After answering quickly, Phrexia was wary of her surroundings again.
“Kuh… … ! Increase your speed! You crushed the two princes with all your might… … .”
“Senior General! It’s a raid! The main army of the kingdom has attacked!”
While I disturbed them.
The main army of the kingdom in the center succeeded in catching the rear of the cavalry.
As a result, they tried to escape quickly.
“Do you think you could have gone back even after aiming for the life of poor Cruz!?”
“Kill-!”
The other units of the kingdom that followed the detachment succeeded in besieging the strong demon cavalry.
It was possible because the ranks collapsed while trying too hard to catch me.
“Keah!”
“Everyone, don’t panic! left! Open the escape route to the left!”
That’s how the strong demons and the army confront each other.
I led a detached team and leisurely got out of the battlefield.
“How much damage is it?”
“No fatalities, about 50 injured.”
“I will reorganize for a while. Recover the wounded.”
“Yes, lower!”
The faces of the soldiers who had been talking about Gingamin even when they first rushed in were different.
All of them were elated and elated.
It was only natural that they trampled the enemy with fewer and weaker cavalry.
‘Okay, this will do.’
Even though I had been steadily training since I redeveloped Island.
I felt that the soldiers were moving well more than I thought.
Besides, since he was full of morale, he decided that it was worth aiming for the next target.
“Plexia, let the detached team know.”
“Yes, lower. Please speak.”
chuck.
I pointed to the commander-in-chief of the strong demons far away and said.
“Today we will end our first fight by striking the enemy commander-in-chief in the neck.”
