I can see emperor stats-Chapter 47
alliance and war
“Awesome”
“Chief? Are you okay?”
Nuada woke up with a sharp pain.
A look of doubt appears on his face as he examines his body for a while. Although he was beaten so mercilessly, most of his wounds have healed.
“How did this happen?”
The answer came from among his subordinates.
“The strangers called someone who was wondering if it was a church healer or something and healed the chieftain.”
"hmm… … .”
Nuada's expression darkened for a moment.
'I lost.'
This was the first time he had been defeated since receiving the title of warrior and starting his career in earnest. There, he was pushed out of his specialty, power.
The shock was hard to express in words, but Nuada is also a masterpiece.
“This me, lost! lost! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!"
For a while, did the chieftain's head go crazy for a while from the shock of defeat? He smiled as much as he wanted to, and began to organize his thoughts.
'A loss is a loss, and I have to think about the future.'
For now, he decided to lightly shake off the pain of defeat with a smile and keep the rest deep in his heart.
“I want to see the leader of the stranger who defeated me. Did he say he was a prince?”
“I told you to call me when the chief wakes up.”
The subordinates looked unwilling, but Nuada immediately sent a message to Julius.
And the meeting place was prepared.
“Thank you for saving me even though you could have killed me.”
“Didn't I say my condition was an alliance? I was just doing the right thing.”
Julius tries to ignore it, but Nuada seems to have a different idea.
“I will put this on debt. and!"
Nuada speaks with force this time.
“If I am convinced that I can defeat you, I will request a revenge match again someday.”
It was too radical for a person who proposed an alliance, but Julius nodded.
He was originally like this. As clunky as he is in his behavior, he is the one who takes responsibility for what he says.
“I also always welcome a confrontation with a warrior as skilled as you.”
“And I think I should give you some time to think about the alliance. I agree, but I need to gather the opinions of the allied tribes... … .”
Julius nodded.
As long as he, the best warrior in the north, agreed, it was as if the conclusion had been reached anyway, so there was no need to wait long.
“Oh, and if you think you owe me, I have a personal favor for you.”
“The earlier the debt is paid off, the better for me. What is your request?”
“Take me inside the mountains where your tribe lives.”
Nuada gives a look of surprise for a moment. Originally, it was rare to have a stranger join the tribe, but if the alliance was truly established, there would be nothing difficult.
however… … .
"Weren't you going to fight Warchief Gundar's forces with us?"
'You see the name of this warchief is Gundar? Seeing as it's a name I've never heard of, it's suspicious.'
Julius nodded.
“Of course, driving him out is the first priority. But the reason I propose an alliance is not simply to get rid of the alien alliance that has come down the mountain.”
“… … !?”
He continues with a serious expression.
“As a result of watching so far, did you say Nuada? You seem to have an unusual head. Don't you think it's a shame that the blood shed when you and our empire collide like this?”
Nuada also looks at him with a surprised expression.
'After all, this interest didn't just need me to get rid of Gundar. Then he is a little more trustworthy.'
Seeing Nuada's expression turn bright, Julius laughed inwardly.
'Yeah, I'm sure he'll like it since he's got someone who's willing to lay him down and do the plan he's always been thinking of.'
However, Nuada was a little skeptical of the solution.
“But I don’t think simply making peace can solve the food shortage of the tribes near the plains… … .”
'That's why I'm here to solve it.'
Once the plan to strike Gundar is over, Julius asked to be taken to the peak where the Thunderbolt Rock tribe of Nuada is located.
"It's a bit embarrassing to say such a thing to a warrior like you, but it's a place where even I would be in great trouble if I wandered carelessly."
It's good to take Nuada, but he urges you to follow his instructions.
The reason why there are many powerful warriors in the tribes inside the mountain range, including the Thunder Rock Tribe, is that not only do many monsters live inside the northern mountain range, but it is also a dangerous area where you can see powerful spirits that have been around for a long time, making it difficult for even superhuman unmanned people to deal with.
“There is nothing difficult about that.”
Julius readily agreed.
That's how the first meeting between him and the foreign people ended, and it didn't take long for the conclusion to come as Julius expected.
"Are you saying you're going deep into the land of the barbarians?"
The knights expressed some disapproval of the second condition, but they believed in Julius and followed him anyway. It is unlikely that there will be a huge backlash.
“Even though he's a foreigner, when I talked to him, he was unexpectedly like-minded. I don't think we need to worry about suddenly being attacked.”
The Nuada side has nothing more to say.
“We lost. Do you have anything else to say?”
“… … .”
The northern warriors dare not think of going against Nuada's words. In addition to his charisma, if they lose in a fair duel, it is their way to follow the winner's decision.
“I don’t believe in strangers, but I do believe in the chieftain!”
“Anyway, Gundar also has strange strangers on his side, but those strangers at least made a decision in our way… … .”
So their alliance was concluded. It was still an awkward relationship, but the forces that would become the nucleus of storms in the future northern mountains were created.
Around the time Julius completed his alliance with Nuada.
As he expected, the Empire and the North, led by Warchief Gundar, began to clash.
“They say it will take at least another week for reinforcements to arrive.”
“Even if the number of troops is pushed back, I thought that the number of skilled knights would not lag behind, but this time, that prediction has been completely shattered.”
"hmm… … .”
Marquis Andersson also gets into trouble while rubbing his beard.
'I don't know who the leader of those barbarians is, but he got hit in the back of the head.'
In fact, he didn't worry too much until the first time he gathered his troops and went on an all-out war. So, wouldn't he have sent all of his useful forces, including Julius, to the rear?
'But it's not easy once you get attached.'
He recalls the memory of the first day of an all-out war.
Marquis Andersson is a superman. I knew that there were many unmanned people among the northern savages, but they were a group that had not been systematically trained.
'Break through the enemy lines at once with the charge of the Knights, including me.'
It was a natural strategy for a superhuman marquis.
“Charge!”
“Waaaa!!!”
Doo doo doo!
The sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground resounded, and the Marquis led the knights and charged into the center of the enemy camp. A tactic to break the enemy's formation at once and trample it with troops from behind!
“… … !?”
But that prediction has been shattered. In general, it is impossible to defend against the rush of mounted soldiers, especially force-wearing knights.
At least, as long as knights of the same level do not collide, the horseback charge of the knights, with the strength of the force added to the kinetic energy of the running horse, is like a huge weapon united in one mass.
Aaaaaang!
The front line of barbarians, who tried to defend themselves with shields, collapsed at once. The corpses pierced by the knights' weapons and crushed by the horse's hooves are scattered in all directions.
And the problem started from there.
The breakthrough of the knights begins now. At first, it is possible to break down the enemy line at once with the rushing power of the run, but from then on, the knights' personal force must stir the enemy line in all directions.
Then, if the general soldiers trample the collapsed formation, the enemies can be easily defeated.
Poof! Poof!
Sensing a formidable presence hiding among the shattered corpses, they jumped out in an instant and charged at the knights.
“Enemy force users are out! Fight back!”
The first rush of the knights was stopped by sacrificing ordinary soldiers, and their warriors finally began to appear among the barbarians.
'Isn't it a cunning trick to use an ordinary soldier as a shield? But as long as I'm here, things won't go as planned.'
The Marquis raised his sword at once and swung it horizontally.
His 4th stage draw is heavy! The range of his force dominance can be suppressed with strong pressure.
Quadruped!
“Cuck!”
The ground in front of the Marquis wielded the sword was dented due to the pressure, and barbarians in the area vomited blood and collapsed as if they were driven to the ground.
'It's still as planned. There's no problem.'
"hmm?"
A formidable presence is caught in the senses of the Marquis, who was trying to order a charge again with a satisfied expression.
'What are these guys?'
It is obvious that they are wearing barbarian costumes, but unlike them with crude weapons, they surround him with long swords that can be used by knights.
The number was about twenty.
“Where!”
Once again, the Marquis' biggie sweeps them away. But the results are quite different.
“… … .”
Some even sat down, but none of them were incapacitated at once.
Rather, they surround the Marquis and launch a counterattack.
The marquise's eyes are striking.
'Are these guys all at Master level or just below that level?'
There is a high probability that he will be the elite chosen among the savages to deal with him.
'It will be easier for me to get rid of everything here.'
The marquis' eyes glow with life. His favorite weapon is a huge two-handed sword that a normal knight would not even dare to dare to use.
His heavy blow is fired towards them with sincerity in its own way this time.
The concentrated pressure was so intense that a long ditch was created in a straight line centered on the trajectory of the Marquis' sword!
Cacan!
“… … !?”
However, the Marquis' expectations are wrong this time as well. Surprisingly, they formed a force barrier with their bodies attached to each other and withstood his attack.
Some could not stand it and vomited blood, but no fatal injuries were inflicted.
"hmm?"
On top of that, as if he knew the delay that would occur if he used a draw technique once, those who looked particularly talented among them gave a sharp pass.
visor!
The Marquis swung his sword and pushed them away, biting his lips.
'This won't be easy.'
It was only then that the Marquis realized that these were the people who had specialized in this skill.
'A master at a glance, at least ten people... … Are there guys who help with that?'
I wondered if the savages had turned all the elite to their side, so looking at the surrounding situation, it doesn't seem like that.
“Kyahaha! Kechawa, the best warrior of the Red Feather Tribe, is your opponent!”
'You don't understand? Did you mean that there were so many Force users among the northern barbarians?'
In addition to the group of people surrounding him, there are quite a lot of guys who can't easily think of talented knights of the squad leader level.
Of course he is superhuman. If you take your time and deal with them slowly, you can kill them all and save them, but the plan to break through the enemy lines has already gone awry.
“The knights retreat while maintaining formation! Stand behind me and a few squad leader-level knights.”
In the end, the assault on the first day could not reap much profit.
The barbarians also did not move much except for occasional small surprise attacks, so the front line is being fixed like this.
“I think we need a large-scale recruitment of knights or the support of additional superhuman knights.”
“I know. But we can't get knights out of the southern front, and we can't call the commander of the Royal Knights to protect His Majesty.”
Of course, there is also Archduke Wilhelm, who is called the Sword Saint, but his status is too high to be put into the front line.
And it is doubtful whether he will come to this battlefield where the first prince, Julius, is.
Moreover, when thoughts of Julius came to mind, the Marquis seemed to have other concerns suddenly come to mind.
“Come to think of it, is there still any news from His Highness Julius, who has been cut off?”
One of the staff members shakes his head.
“We have dispatched scouts, but the depths of the mountains are uncharted territory. As of now, I can't... … .”
Julius said through a messenger that he had left behind only one letter and marched deep into the northern mountains.
[I found a groundbreaking way to turn the tide of the war. Come with good news within a month at the latest! It may be a violation of military law, but I will accept that sin later.]
The message the messenger brought was brief, but it was hard to ignore.
'It's a way to reverse the situation... … .'
Marquis Andersson had no choice but to have a dubious yet subtle expectation and concern.
'Could it be that the prince predicted that the situation would turn out to be this difficult and fell into the rear?'
In any case, the Marquis and his advisors hoped for Julius' safe return.
