“Sir, the enemy is moving.!”
“at las.”
Are they walking around the garrison and launching a full-scale attack??
Or are they just trying to get there first with a small number of troops??
The lords, knights, officers, and wizards gathered in the inner castle tower had many questions. Those who could not keep this in their heads opened their mouths, and the conference room immediately became noisy..
“everyone is quiet.”
It was not Prince Ulkar. He got up from the table, ordered them to get ready for battle immediately, and looked back at the knights and wizards..
“Ready the heavy cavalry. All battle mages, please follow except for those who will watch the sky..”
Ulkar, the supreme commander, was in a situation where he personally stepped forward, but there was no one who could stop him. Everyone knows that wasting time on arguments before a battle is foolish..
Thanks to dozens, if not hundreds, of mock protocol battles, the knights and officers learned how to set aside their personal opinions and opinions. Additionally, they came to understand the prince's tactical tendencies and decision-making style to some extent. His hands and feet are ready to fight the enemy..
Less than ten minutes after the scout reported the enemy's movements, more than five hundred men and horses rushed out of the west gate of High Castle..
Ulkar did not wear a helmet.
Thanks to this, thousands of High Castle soldiers could clearly see the long silver hair flowing at the head of the cavalry..
‘The ‘giant’ Ankir, the ‘painter’ Hylterre, the ‘bird-hawk’ Gisella, and I are all following in the prince’s footsteps..
Ooooooooo-! Without any hesitation, the soldiers on the castle wall burst into shouts..
That thunderous sound, its momentum, and the fighting spirit of the riders who held their weapons tightly and fiercely raised the reins to the sky..
“A narrow walk, above the clouds.”
Wizards, including Master Epoz, memorized spells. Sentences filled with will and mana made our steps lighter, added strength to our muscles, and brought in a fresh breeze..
The enemy line was still quite far away, so the cavalrymen, who were running at less than half the speed, let alone giving full effort, began pounding the ground with a quite exciting beat thanks to the spells of the battle wizards..
“enemy！”
Even as more than 2,000 horses' hooves played on the melted ground as drums, Sir An Kir's voice was very clear. It was a performance that boasted great cost-effectiveness despite its large price..
Hehehe, they are mercenaries, Your Majesty.!”
The army that came out of the forest and slowly spread towards High Castle could be recognized at a glance as mercenaries. They were well armed to be conscripts, but their uniforms were different and there were too many of them to be regular soldiers. They must be mercenary babblers hired by the Duke of Avilambus..
However, the number was quite large..
I still didn't have the ability to count hundreds or thousands of troops at once, so I couldn't know the exact number. But it was clear that they were much more numerous than our cavalry..
At this point, most knights and cavalry officers, including myself, could guess Ulkar's orders. This was also thanks to the mock battles and training..
Ulkar raised the prosthetic hand on his left arm. The silver fist holding the bow drew a circle above the head..
It was the hand signal everyone expected, so the cavalrymen immediately turned to the left..
“Shoot! Shoot me!”
“You idiots, stay where you are.!”
The sound of scolding in Ghelan could be faintly heard, and then arrows poured down like rain..
nettle liquid-
There were close to twenty battle wizards among the cavalry, so it was not impossible to remove the rain of arrows with a spell..
But it was a waste of mana. In the first place, the reason the rider and horse were wrapped in heavy iron together was for moments like this..
Kaga River, Kaang!
The arrows struck the armor and barding again and again, making a loud clanging sound..
Broken arrowheads and broken bows disturb the view, but the cavalrymen silently held on to their reins. Between loud metallic sounds and creepy nasal sounds,
The sound of flesh being torn was heard..
When I looked back, I saw several people who had been hit by arrows in eye sockets, joints, or other gaps in their armor, falling from their horses in vain. But there were very few of them, and the rest were riding on as if nothing had happened, with arrows attached..
The cavalry's path was parallel to the formation of the enemy mercenaries. The distance had narrowed to about forty-fifty meters..
hmm." Close enough to see each other's faces. My hands are itching to just talk calmly..
I pulled the javelin from the saddle, but Ulkar pulled it one step ahead..
Toaddeung!
He shot three arrows in one breath, taking down three mercenaries. He was scolded for saying that his archery skills had diminished after getting a prosthetic arm, and it was clearly bullshit..
That was the signal.
Knights who regarded swords, spears and archers as their basic skills fired arrows freely even on running horses. No one was as accurate at rapid fire as Ulkar, but no one was so bad that he lost his footing and failed to hit even a single hit..
I raised my spirits while holding the javelin tightly..
In the field of vision provided by the blood magic, I could see a person moving magical energy among the bubbling and pulsating lumps of blood. I threw the spear there.
“Wow-”
The woman who was mumbling something while pointing at the prisoner made a noise like a toad and fell out. Perhaps it was a wizard as I expected, and the surrounding mercenaries looked at the fallen woman with great anticipation..
In fact, at this distance, there was no need to worry about the wizard's attack. Sending an attack spell dozens of meters is considered an art even among wizards. There's no way a wizard who works like a mercenary would be that high level..
But, no matter what, I threw the javelin targeting only the magicians. This is because it could be a variable when entering enemy territory, and it seemed like it would give more experience than other people..
When the fourth javelin was thrown, Ulkar finally shouted..
“charge!”
The prince, who has led countless battles to victory since the age of seventeen and has been reborn as a veteran of war, caught a crack in the ranks of mercenaries even while running on horseback and firing arrows..
He immediately turned his horse's head and fired two arrows. Blue flags sprouted from the heads of the two shield soldiers who were retreating due to the force of the cavalry..
After walking around for a while with the prince at my side, I saw a pair of blue flagpoles and drew my sword..
now it's my time.
“Come on, let's go!”
As the spurs were applied roughly, the bicorn sped forward even more roughly..
The sudden acceleration caused him to jump out from the cavalry, but he didn't look back. The mission of the vanguard is to attack the enemy, not to take care of allies..
It took me a few seconds to kick off the soft, melted ground and run with all my might..
“Ugh, uhuhuh!”
“Fuck you, get out of my way!”
The mercenaries, who were distraught from the rush of the giant beast, were immediately swept through..
‘A dark red blade protruding more than 2 meters from the ‘black ice’ swept everywhere. Pieces of human flesh were torn apart and soared into the sky or rolled around on the floor..
“Phew.”
Whether or not our cavalry was following along was already beyond my attention. I only ran forward, forward, swinging my sword..
“Block it, block it!”
““If it collapses, it’s over!” I can't be that happy with all the screaming guys. Even while you are busy rushing into the enemy lines, you can throw a javelin at the voice..
Boom!
Bicorn, whose entire body was already soaked, was so excited that it was difficult for me to control it..
It ran without control, pierced the back of the fleeing mercenary with its horn, trampled the guy next to him, and chewed off his entire head. At the sight of the bicorn with its mouth full of something black, white, blue, and red, some of the mercenaries who had attacked with great force folded their backs and vomited. The senior mercenary was embarrassed and attacked them..
“flaw,”
With a light swing of his hand, he cut open his uvula with the tip of his sword, and struck Bicorn's buttocks with the javelin he had just drawn..
Crumbling/
“Be quiet. Before I pluck one of its horns and turn it into a unicorn.”
Did you understand what I said? As I tightened my thighs and twisted my back, the bicorn snorted and calmly turned its head..
bang!
At the careless outstretched hand, the mercenaries who were charging at him, stepping on the blood-red floor, were scattered to pieces..
“o〒oo huh ” -- ----- --—•
“Oh, I can't do that..”
A fishy smell mixed in with the thick fishy smell, and a voice seeking God could be heard among the evil swearing..
“Ugh.”
I couldn't stop laughing..
So, to hide my laughter, I did what Sir Langbold and Sir Ankyr often did..
“Here comes the Red Knight of the Silver Prince!”
It wasn't very successful. It's because of the laughter that couldn't be suppressed between the words..
Despite my ridiculous self-introduction, Duke Avilambus' mercenaries responded quite satisfactorily..
“step back - retreat, retreat!”
“Damn it, who can retreat on their own?!”
“run away!”
Rolling around in the sticky mud, scraping the floor, pulling their comrades in front, the mercenaries fled in all directions..
The scene where hundreds of people turned and ran at the same time as if they were running together was very funny..
I spurred on, letting out the sound that was boiling deep in my stomach..
And by the time we started to see more friendly cavalry than the enemy..
The mercenary ranks were completely torn in two..
