53 – Something’s wrong?
The road leading to the village of the Dark Horse.
All the way to the wide clearing located in the middle, they couldn’t see a single ant, let alone an enemy.
And the enemies that finally began to appear,
Just as General Neto had reconnoitred in advance, they were proudly welcoming them with a camp in front.
“How is it? Aren’t my words right? There was no ambush. The enemy greets us like that without thinking.”
“Haa… I see. I did something wrong, stop it now.”
General Neto responds with a bit of annoyance to Warchief Horatu’s scolding remarks.
Then, while watching the warriors of the Dark Horse Tribe in defensive formations blocking the relatively narrow road, he could predict what would happen in the future without difficulty.
‘Their forces are only 3000. Although there may be some advantages because they have settled in a place where the road narrows. Even so, it’s not that decisive… ‘
It’s not even high ground.
It was a situation where he was standing in a vacant lot where the road was getting narrower and said he would deal with an army three times his size.
According to history, there is no record of stopping an army of tens of thousands with 300 men, but that was because there was a difference in basic armament, fighting power, and obviously advantageous terrain.
Each individual’s combat power was similar, or rather, this side had the upper hand, and now that there were many numbers, General Neto couldn’t help but think that the outcome of this war was obvious.
‘Even if it takes a long time, it will be over in half a day, since it’s not too far from here to their village. I really… I’d rather fight in a village located on a hill than that, why would you do such a foolish thing… ‘
In the first place, as much as I gave up on understanding the eccentricities often seen by native warriors,
General Neto stopped thinking at this point and waited for the battle to begin.
He is also in a position to command 20% of the troops as a temporary chief.
No matter how much it is borrowed troops, as long as it is necessary to show its majesty as a general of the Great Britain Empire,
He stared at the enemies blocking his way with a cold expression.
and in his ear,
Finally, the voice of Chief Horatu began to be heard.
“Warriors of the Morks! Advance!”
– Boo Woo Woo Woo!!!
The sound of a horn resounding with orders.
At the same time, the 10,000 Morks began to rush towards the enemies in front of them.
*
“Wowaaa!!!”
“Kill them!”
“Don’t let even one of them live!”
The Mok tribe warriors radiate overwhelming spirit as if the sea was being pushed while shouting.
At the same time, the dark horse warriors in front of them aimed their guns and prepared to shoot.
And.
“launch!”
-bang! bang! bang!
Numerous bullets fired with a loud sound.
However, bullets did not exert much power against warriors who were protecting themselves with magical powers, not ordinary soldiers.
Even if they were hit by a bullet or two, they endured without a bow and arrived right in front of the nose of the enemy camp.
Immediately after that, the swords and spears held by the Mok warriors began to flow with glowing magic as if they were burning, and the same was true of the Dark Horse warriors facing them.
Condensation, a magic that increases the cutting power and strength of weapons.
As the condensed weapons were wielded at the opponent, the battle began to intensify in an instant.
*
“die! You dirty bastards! ＜Explosive bullets＞!”
-Quaguaguagwang!!!
“Kuuu!”:
“Quaaagh!”
General William wanders around enemy lines with his men.
Every time he swung his staff, the Dark Horse soldiers started to die in an instant from the explosion of flames.
Although he has been in a miserable life, falling for Cromwell’s tricks and getting hit and run, at this moment, he was showing off his majesty as an imperial general.
“William! Don’t go too deep! The distance between you and your allies is widening!”
“Don’t worry, General Neto! If so, it won’t make much of a difference!”
Gen. William, listening moderately to General Neto’s words coming from behind, was frantic about wiping out the enemies as if he were taking care of himself.
Although he is a wizard, he is also basically familiar with the 3 magics of warriors, including condensation, so his body is second to none in close combat.
As he randomly burned and split the enemies in front of him like that, William began to fall more and more into the joy of battle.
‘yes! That’s it! I’ve been waiting for this moment all along! I’ve been very unlucky in the meantime, but today, my time has come!’
at that time…
-Booo!!!
“damn! retreat! All troops retreat!”
“yes?”
“No, those guys… ”
As soon as the battle began to decline, the Dark Horse soldiers turned and ran away with the sound of horns.
Although it was a short skirmish, they suffered a devastating blow due to their inferiority and began to retreat quickly.
“Chase! Destroy their camp and enter the village! Don’t let even one of them live!”
“Yes! Warchief!”
Seeing that, the warchief Horatu immediately gave orders to pursue.
At his command, the Mok warriors began to pursue without delay, as did William, who was intoxicated with the feast of slaughter.
“We go too! Hurry up!”
“Wait a minute, General William!”
General Neto suddenly starts to stop him
In response, General William questioned him with questions and dissatisfaction.
“No, why are you doing that again?”
“Something is strange. It is suspicious in many ways that the enemies seem to escape so easily.”
“No, General, why are you doing this since yesterday? Isn’t it a fact that the general has already confirmed that there is no enemy ambush!”
“It is, but… Right now, I couldn’t see what was behind me because of the enemy’s vigilance. Besides, it’s strange that the Morks, who always fight to the death, back down in situations like this.”
“I really… What else am I saying, ah, what do you do with something that even guys get scared and run away from? It’s something I’ve been feeling these days, but I think you’ve become too timid. If you’re not following me, please stay here. I’ll have to go and post some more achievements! This is it!”
“General William!”
William ignores General Neto’s words and follows the soldiers inside.
Seeing him like this, General Neto stood by with his troops for the time being, feeling a lingering sense of uneasiness.
“chief! Shouldn’t we go too!”
“Be still, this is an order.”
“But… ”
“Are you going to disobey the chief’s order? I’ll monitor the situation for a bit and continue the attack, so don’t be impatient.”
“Um… ”
The Mok tribe warriors under his command who are dissatisfied with General Neto’s words, but wait for the time being.
Deciding to keep an eye on the situation for a while, he watched the uneasy expression of his allies entering the enemy camp amid lingering anxiety.
*
“Follow me! Don’t let even one of them live!”
With thousands of soldiers, the great chief Horatu entered deep into the valley where the enemy camp was located.
Right after that, in his eyes, the enemy’s camp was empty, with only a sloppy wooden fence erected at the entrance.
“I really… It seems that the tail has already run away. To think that they would completely abandon the camp and run away.”
“They must have been terrified. However, it is impossible for them to try to deal with us with only that amount of troops.”
“First of all, accept their positions. After that, start tracking straight away… ”
“yes? Great Chief! Look over there!”
“Well? no… that… ”
Then, something suddenly started coming into their eyes.
Seeing them scattered on the ground of the camp, the Great Chief began to question.
“no… Is that a Mistil Ingot? why is that here… ”
“Daechief, it is also here inside the tent. There are piles next to the jars containing gunpowder.”
“Not one or two. Apparently, they tried to build a camp with this, but ran out of time, so they abandoned it and ran away.”

Misteel is treated as a rare metal due to its strong durability and silvery luster that are sufficient to be used as munitions.
Seeing them heaped up, the Great Chief nodded slowly.
“Come to think of it, there have been many Misteel mines in this area where the Dark Horse tribe lives.”
“Fortunately, if I was late, I would have been in trouble because of the obstacles made of Mistil. It worked well because I finished it before they prepared.”
With such thoughts in mind, Chief Horatu begins to smile pleasantly at the unexpected loot.
at that time…
“yes? What are these things doing!”
“Stop! Stay in line!”
At some point, the soldiers scattered all over the camp and started to become frantic to take care of Misteel.
Literally, as much as half a year’s worth of food could be obtained with just one lump of it piled up, they literally began to pick it up with their eyes wide open.
Sudden confusion in a situation where the tension was relaxed by victory.
Some warriors even started punching their allies over Mistil.
“No, what is this… Give orders to come back immediately!”
“The Great Chief! The warriors are out of control!”
“The ranks are breaking! If you’re attacked like this, you’ll be in trouble!”
Confusion inside the camp started to spread in an instant because the other generals were also relaxed.
At this, Grand Chief Horatu suddenly began to feel that things were taking a strange turn.
at that time.
-Booo!!!
“!!”
“radish… what… ”
The sound of the horn suddenly began to reverberate.
At the same time, the warriors of the Dark Horse tribe who thought they had fled from the upper valley began to appear.
