64 – Grand General and Grand General
It started from a very small part.
The militiamen who served as the vanguard of the rebels.
Composed only of warriors who, following the instructions of General Gates, were specially strong, able to handle magical powers, and skilled in fighting, they were terrified as they watched their comrades die in the enemy’s tremendous artillery fire.
A terrifying attack that rips through the magical barrier, penetrates helmets and armor, and creates huge holes in the body, and as a result, the comrades died in an instant.
And at the same time, the elite warriors of the empire started running towards us.
Even at a glance, the militiamen began to feel their whole bodies tremble at the sight of them rushing to death with a level of magic that was incomparable to their own.
It was an unfamiliar yet terrifying fear that was completely different from dealing with wild beasts or heavy monsters.
In this situation where death, not the joy of the glorious victory he expected, was clearly shimmering before his eyes.
They were seized with heart-shrinking fear and began to move their bodies according to their instincts.
“eww… aaa!!!”
“buy… help me!!!”
The militiamen, swept away by momentary fear, begin to flee.
As they suddenly abandoned their weapons and started to run away, who were supposed to run towards the enemy, the commanders in the lead began to be caught in a panic.
“radish… what… ”
“These guys! uh… Where are you going!”
“Come back! I mean come back right away!”
The commanders who are struggling to stop the escaping soldiers by any means,
However, it was impossible to stop them by selecting only the strongest among the militia in the first place.
And.
‘what… what is this? Aren’t they all running away?’
‘Is that Wilson running away? The strongest warrior in our village… ‘
‘west… no way. Are the enemies that strong? To the point where the likes of us are no match?’
Like this, the sudden collective escape of the strongest colleagues in the vanguard.
‘all… Let’s run… ‘
‘do… you have to run away! Everyone here will die!’
As it was, confusion and fear began to spread to the soldiers standing behind.
And, towards the militias who were so fearful and cowering.
The elite troops of the Imperial Army launched an attack without hesitation.
“Kheuheouk!!”
“Kwaaa!!”
The Imperial Army, wielding weapons wrapped in condensation, began slaughtering the rebels in an instant.
The camp of the rebels, which had already been torn apart by the collapse of the leading group, was devastated.
This exploded the fear of the militia, who were in a dangerous situation.
As a result.
“aaa!!!”
“help me!!!”
“ah… No, these guys!”
“Stop! Can’t you stop right now!”
When one person started to run away, it was easy for two or three people to run away, and when a hundred people ran away, it was an instant for a thousand or ten thousand people to start running away.
The escape of the leading dozen has spread to hundreds.
The ‘flow’ created in this way soon began to spread quickly to all the rebel soldiers present.
The camp of the rebels, starting with the left wing, who lacked the most practical experience, quickly began to crumble.
The soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled. Towards the backs of the fleeing enemies, the imperial army wielded their weapons without hesitation and carried out a one-sided massacre.
“Sweep it all out!”
“Don’t let any of the traitors live!”
“For the Empire!”
The screams of the Imperial army and the screams of the rebels echoed from all directions.
While listening to the pleasant sound of announcing victory to the Imperial Army.
General Nelson gave the order in a serious voice.
“Then let’s move on to the next step. Everyone follow me!”
“Yes, General!”
*
Now, less than a few minutes have passed since the battle started.
General Gates could hardly believe what he was seeing unfolding before his eyes.
“this… What’s going on? What are the bosses doing! Set them up right now! Those who escape should be stopped by summary execution according to the military decree!”
“General. The soldiers are not listening.”
“The military order is not working. The militia and even the regular army are out of control.”
“What nonsense is that! We are an army twice as big as them! If they ran away, they should have run away! Why are our soldiers running away!”
“… ”
“Sigh… ”
General Gates shouts in rage and urgency.
However, the generals who were forcibly answering his question just looked at the face of this incompetent and pitiful superior with a rotten expression.
The left wing, which formed one axis of a large army of 30,000 people, was already completely shattered to such an extent that it was difficult to find anyone standing still.
Here in the central army where they are, the camp is also becoming a rag mate with the camp being crushed in many places.
In the case of the right wing, thanks to the regular army rushed in according to the instructions of the generals under their command, they were holding on firmly, but in this situation where they were already being destroyed elsewhere, it was not enough to expect anything with only them.
Just a moment ago, they were certain of victory.
However, now the rebels can’t help but think of the word defeat.
at that time.
“!! My… The Imperial cavalry is coming!”
“They’re pushing in from the left!”
“I… That flag… General Nelson?”
The Imperial Army’s cavalry, which had completely disintegrated and penetrated the left wing with a clear path, began to charge toward the rear of the Central Army.
At the forefront, General Nelson rode a white horse and led a group of cavalry.
At this moment, the tremendous magical power that wrapped around her body began to give goosebumps to those who saw it.
A rank 11 archmage who is considered one of the best in the empire.
The transcendental power that enabled her to rise to the rank of general at a young age began to bring about a phenomenon with the completion of magic.
“! what… . what?”
“under… the sky… ”
-Kurrureung!
Dark clouds suddenly began to roll in with a terrifying cry.
The sky, which had been blue without a single cloud until just now, began to be enveloped in darkness due to black clouds.
And…
-Kurrureuk!… Kururrureuk!
Golden lightning and vivid magic circles flashed among the dark clouds.
Looking at it that makes the viewer feel instinctive fear,
The face of the Central Army, who was barely holding on, was tinged with a dark shade of despair.
And.
As if responding to their despair.
General Nelson smiled coldly and activated the magic he had loaded into the sky.
“＜Nelson Touch＞!”
– Kwakwagwagwang!!!!
Countless golden lightnings falling from the sky.
The tremendous attack, reminiscent of God’s wrath, hit the center of the rebels with a tremendous explosion.
There was no pain.
Lightning with billions of volts of power blew their souls into the other world without a second to feel pain.
All that was left was the scorched earth and the ashes of hundreds of soldiers.
And,
There was only the figure of General Nelson and his men who began to wipe out the enemies wielding golden thunderbolts that came out of their hands as they dug into the gaps that were created.
*
General Nelson’s blow that put a decisive blow in the hopeless situation as it was.
In the end, the central army was completely disintegrated, and now only despair remained for the soldiers on the right wing.
“Stop! Stop it no matter what!”
“We have to break through! The rest of the soldiers follow me!”
Rebel generals who struggle to do something even in the worst situation.
At the same time, in their hearts, they were pouring out their curses at the person who called this general, who made things come to this point.
‘This bastard has finally gotten to this point… ‘
‘Gates is a ruined baby! That’s why I said you shouldn’t form camps like this!’
Speaking of generals, there are beings right below the generals.
Of course, they expected that he would have the ability to match it.
Even when he gave the foolish order to put the militia at the forefront, while thinking about what kind of nonsense order this was, on the other hand, he had no choice but to pass it off as, ‘It must be because the general has a deep meaning in his own way’.
And now.
They realized too late that the ‘deep meaning’ they expected was not there from the beginning.
‘Somehow I thought it was strange from the beginning! Everyone is going to die because of that child!’
‘To meet that other guy as a superior… ‘
‘Something like this… No, it was going to be like this, but with what kind of confidence did you push through the work?
No matter how much you think about it, General Gates, who created an incomprehensible act and the worst result.
In this regard, one thought in common could not help but come to the heads of the generals of the rebels who were swearing at him.
‘What kind of person is that… How can I be in the position of general?’
*
“uh… How… how did this happen… ”
Horrenshaw Gates ruined the unknown with a strategy that didn’t work.
While the central army was destroyed and scattered, he rode his horse with all his might to leave the battlefield, and he couldn’t believe the current situation.
Until now, thanks to Benelita Arnold’s conquest, General Gates had no problem commanding the militia.
Benelita Arnold, who had led the battle to victory in her own way, listening to it with one ear and letting it out with the other, even if he ordered a strategy that did not work.
As a result, from the perspective of General Gates, who only took the fruits of her victory, only the illusion and groundless confidence that he won because his command was excellent remained.
However, Director Benelita was no longer there to lead the incompetent man.
In addition, as the general was assigned to the central army as he ascended, his subordinates also changed drastically, so none of the generals under his command knew how useless he was.
In the end, what was left was the foolish order, and the generals who obeyed it and suffered the worst failure.
And it was only the incompetent general who was the main culprit behind all of this and was running away repeating otoke in fear at this moment.
“Find General Gates!”
“Catch the old man with the medal on his chest!”
“If you catch him, the general will give you a generous reward! You must not miss it!”
Without the slightest bit of fertilizer, revealing the most disastrous ugliness.
General Gates, terrified by the voice behind him, tore off the splendid general’s medal from his chest and began to ride even faster.
