I profit.
thud.
The gates were opened..
Breaking through the thick dust, Lawrence's soldiers rushed forward like crazy..
“charge!”
“Wow!!”
hundreds of soldiers.
Their faces were full of fear.
The flames of the flare burned above the castle wall, and right in front, numerous enemy soldiers could be seen rushing toward the castle gate..
Even if they are soldiers, they are a ragtag group of people who have not received proper formal training..
However, knowing that Lawrence might collapse if they retreated like this, they gritted their teeth and rushed straight at their opponent..
“die!”
deeply!
“gagging.”
The armies of both sides clashed.
The soldiers at the forefront were pushed back and tangled together, and the attack from Lawrence's soldier with all his might caused Barco's soldier to tremble with blood foaming at his mouth..
The joy of victory did not last long.
Lawrence's soldier retrieved his weapon and tried to attack the other opponent, but his head was blown off by an attack coming from right next to him..
Suddenly!
Tuk.
Degururu.
The battle has begun.
Like the face of a soldier who couldn't believe his own death, a melee broke out where each person killed the other..
early part of the battle.
Lawrence had the upper hand from the beginning..
Supported by arrows fired from the walls, they pushed back hard against Barco's soldiers..
puck!
puff puff puff!
Barco's soldiers collapsed due to a case of arrows..
Lawrence's knight stepped on their corpses and slaughtered the enemy in front of him, sporting silver armor that sparkled in the sun..
Blood splashed like a fountain.
In an instant, corpses piled up like a mountain, and Lawrence's soldiers followed the knight and dug into the enemy camp..
Even then, they believed they had a chance.
As they saw the enemy soldiers falling to their weapons, they thought that Barco's power was not that great..
but.
it was a mistake.
At first, Barco was taken aback by the unexpected counterattack, but as time went by, the situation turned around..
“Running wild without even knowing the topic.”
“Where are you guys?!”
Suddenly!
Phuwak.
Among the soldiers.
There was a group that committed a massacre..
They were the Berge mercenaries..
They made fighting their living, and had a distinctive presence among ordinary soldiers..
Even during a melee where they could not properly understand the situation, they helped each other and slaughtered Lawrence's soldiers, and the differences in their counterattacks began to widen..
Even if the opponent was a knight, it couldn't be helped..
It was from the time of perfect control of aura that the knight's existence became absolutely essential, and Lawrence's knight, who was fighting at the forefront, frantically swung his sword in the mercenaries' pincer attack and was eventually attacked from all directions..
puff puff!
“Wow!!”
Pain digging into my flesh.
The knight screamed desperately and collapsed..
It was from then on..
The atmosphere has passed..
Lawrence also supplemented his troops by hiring mercenaries, but they did not show outstanding performance like the Berge mercenaries..
At some point, I couldn't move forward anymore..
Although they advanced only 50 meters from the castle walls, Lawrence's soldiers, who had lost their momentum, were left struggling to survive with bewildered faces..
one two.
people are dying.
Fear spreads quickly, and one soldier was terrified at the sight of his friend dying..
“Ooh, we're done. I can never win!”
Power difference greater than expected.
The soldiers took a step back..
Facing a pack of ferocious beasts, the ragtag group could not maintain their determination to fight to the death..
A variable occurred.
lawrence.
They didn't even play the role of bait properly..
grasp-!
fired an arrow.
Her arms were shaking as she had already repeated the action several times, but Flora fired the next arrow with a venomous expression on her face..
It was then.
the soldiers screamed.
They, who should have waited a little longer, were retreating helplessly like sand being pushed in by the tide..
‘It can't be pushed out already.’
My heart sank..
Roman's Plan.
It was a diversionary operation..
When the gates are opened and Lawrence's soldiers launch a counterattack, Barco has no choice but to concentrate his forces, thinking that this is an opportunity..
That was the opportunity Roman spoke of..
Due to the battle in front of the castle gate, there won't be many troops in Barco's rear, and Roman was planning to take advantage of that timing and destroy Flare..
Flares are expensive equipment..
Since the price is not at a level that can be replenished, Lawrence can secure the advantage of Mercury..
blast furnace.
“Don't back down! hold on till the end!”
Flora screamed in anger..
yet.
The enemy did not send enough troops.
There were many troops left in Barco's rear, and at this rate Roman's plan could not even be attempted..
But despite Flora's cries, Lawrence's soldiers could not hold out..
I had already lost my will to fight, and I was not at a level where I could block Barco's sudden momentum with will alone..
finished.
Flora stayed up all night studying military tactics, but was faced with a reality that the books did not tell her about..
‘We should have known our level. Unlike Barko the marauder, we are not ready to fight.’
lawrence.
they were herbivores.
They lived a peaceful life with the wealth that came from fertile land, but did not put much effort into protecting it..
the problem arose from that.
Although Barco had nothing, he was a force that constantly fought to plunder, so in their eyes, Lawrence was very easy prey..
It was a fight with an obvious outcome..
The sight of two of Lawrence's soldiers going out to deal with one of Barco's soldiers made Flora go into a daze..
‘There's no chance for us to win.’
Roman Dmitry.
he won't show up.
I don't know if Lawrence had acted as bait as planned, but there was absolutely no reason for them to step forward now..
It must be a meaningless sacrifice.
In that case, Lawrence's choice was self-destructive..
Still, if they had held out along the walls, they could have held out for another day or two, but with the gates opened, there was no way to stop Barco's troops..
What should I do? The opposite sex sent countless messages telling her to give up, but Flora's mental strength, which had become stronger in just a few days, constantly found answers..
puck!
An arrow cuts through the wind.
I struggled.
Even if the castle collapsed and was captured, Flora had no intention of surrendering to the enemy and begging for her life..
Like I said to the maid.
Flora's choice was to die like this rather than be reduced to the concubine of a scum like Antoni Barco..
It was then.
“……?!”
far away.
A series of groups were seen.
Their goals were clear.
flare.
They were running towards the siege engines..
10minutes ago.
Roman's soldiers waited for orders with nervous faces..
“Phew.”
this plan.
I couldn't help but be nervous.
When I volunteered for the private army, I had no idea that they would go into battle so quickly, and I even had no idea that it would be a crazy plan to attack Barco's rear..
The time to risk your life has come too soon.
Unlike Chris and Kevin, who accepted reality calmly, the soldiers who had just decided to follow Roman showed signs of nervousness..
their hearts.
understood.
However, Roman did not think there was a need to be more considerate than understanding..
‘From now on, this is a reality that they must deal with. If you survive as my soldier, I will grant you the life as a predator that I promised you at the beginning, but survival is ultimately a matter of your own strength, not mine..’
last ten days.
Roman's soldiers began training..
I trained hard with Chris' whipping, but that wasn't enough to satisfy Roman..
The soldiers' feelings were ignored..
Now is not the time for empathy..
ahead of operation.
Roman said.
“As explained at the beginning, the primary goal of this operation is to attack Barco's rear and destroy their siege weapons. Perhaps Lawrence will not be able to fulfill the role of bait properly. The difference in power between Lawrence and Barco is extreme, and as a result, there will be quite a lot of troops left in Barco's rear..”
Lawrence's variable.
It was what I expected.
Roman didn't expect much from them, and the worst that Flora thought was the reality that Roman thought was reality..
at last.
Common sense meant that it was not a good idea..
The soldiers did not avoid their gaze when they met Roman..
30soldiers.
They risked their lives for the test..
Basically, they were people born with a strong heart, and even though they were nervous in situations where they had to risk their lives, they did not ignore reality..
It was enough.
Roman had the minimum number of people for the plan..
“I don't expect much of a role from you in this operation. I will take the lead. If I run from the front, slaughter the enemies and open the way, you can follow behind and clear out the remnants. Keep this in mind. Our primary goal is to destroy the siege engines. If there's a guy who can't come to his senses because he's drunk with blood and slaughter, I won't hesitate to abandon him to the grave..”
Roman's words.
The soldiers' eyes wavered..
It was a remark that seemed cruel at first glance, but Roman said that he would stand at the forefront even in this dangerous situation..
that wasn't considerate.
yet.
I didn't trust the soldiers.
Therefore, Roman said that he would believe in himself and take on the role of confronting the enemy head-on..
yet.
“It's now!”
The time has come.
At Roman's command, the soldiers rushed out all at once..
far away.
Roman and his troops were seen..
Barco quickly grasped the situation, but did not immediately call in troops from the front lines..
“What is that?”
Viscount Barco.
He distorted his expression..
It seemed like the opponent was preparing a turning blow, but the crude move made me laugh out loud..
“What are you going to do with us with that many people? Anyway, those who don't know much about war hope for a miracle to happen at their desks. Hello. Get ready for some crazy customers right now..”
“All right.”
Cheokcheok.
the soldiers moved.
He pulled his shield close to his body and held out his spear, ready to meet the enemy..
The difference in power was obvious.
Although there were only 30 men carrying out the surprise attack, there were three times as many men behind Barco..
Moreover, among them were elites such as the leader and knights of the Berge mercenary group..
Viscount Barco had no reason to be afraid, and believed that the enemy's reckless attempt would be quickly put to rest..
Soon after.
the enemy has reached.
The moment it was confirmed that the opponent was not Lawrence, the man in front kicked the ground alone..
sudden.
My eyes were spinning..
man's movements.
I couldn't catch up..
I thought he was a little far away, but he soon reached the soldiers and launched himself at them..
it was suicidal.
The soldiers raised their shields high and prepared for the opponent's attack, and at the same time, the second line of soldiers behind them tried to cut the man's body by thrusting spears through the shields..
The future was clearly visible.
The man's body will become a rag..
Viscount Barco, who was observing the situation, widened his eyes at the scene that followed..
Suddenly!
Phuwak!
blood splattered.
I thought I had blocked it with my shield, but the man's sword knocked the soldiers' heads off..
The massacre that immediately followed).
The defense formation collapsed in an instant..
That's really true.
It was a sight beyond common sense that I couldn't believe even when I saw it with my own eyes..
