“how… Something like this… !”
Sagnard’s lieutenant, Faker, was able to raise his head only after he barely caught his sight.
Obviously too much blood was spilled. Faker was the first to think of that.
Also, maybe the eardrum was torn due to the binge drinking a while ago, and the tinnitus still rings in my ears.
there was
Everything around was a mess.
Rocks that were much larger than humans were scattered all over the place, filling the corridors of the already narrow canyon.
Blood was oozing out between the rocks, and limbs that were hard to tell who belonged to it were scattered haphazardly.
The strong burnt smell was still vibrating, poking at the tip of his nose, and a moan was heard begging for help. But he knew deeply that the masters of that sound would soon die.
Seriously… All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
When you enter the gorge chasing the Servant of the Stars. Faker was belatedly aware that they had entered the danger zone.
The anger over the fact that Sagnard, whom he admired, had died in such a vain way was so great that he had set foot in an area that was not normally approached.
So I tried to give the order to retreat quickly, but by that time it was already too late.
Most of the soldiers were already completely blinded by anger. He hadn’t even heard his orders.
No, some officers sarcastically asked if it was because they were afraid at all. They also said that they would not have the confidence to stand in Sagnard’s territory unless they carried the imperial army’s head.
And, of course… In the end, they even lost the chance to stand in Sagnard’s domain.
The canyon completely collapsed and was buried alive.
Even Faker, who had been preparing for a long time, suffered this.
destruction (遺滅).
It was a battle that could only be described as such.
‘Still, let’s go… !’
Faker clenched his teeth, trying to somehow get out of the rock pile.
Although I played around with their tricks, I had to save at least one more life somehow. That way, you can take revenge or break your sword, or whatever.
“Pe, Lieutenant Faker? Hey, here’s a survivor! Come on and help!”
Then, as if someone had found him, he heard a familiar voice. I can’t remember the name, but it was clear that he was a junior whom the adjutant he loved had special consideration.
Faker managed to get out of the rock pile with their help. I was out of breath.
I opened my eyes straight up, barely holding onto my vision. A lot of eyes were focused on this side. One by one, they were playing the game of defeat.
“You are alive! All in all, I’m glad!”
There was a feeling of relief on their faces. The fact that there was at least one commander left had a huge impact on the troops.
Faker squeezed his voice, barely swallowing the blood that had risen up to his throat.
“Who are the survivors?”
“••• Currently, only about twenty people have been found.”
“Eight hundred cavalry pursued them, twenty.”
It was a criminal record that would not come out without a laugh.
I knew it was annihilation, but in this way, the word “complete destruction” would not be insignificant.
“Well, we’re still searching for survivors, so we’ll find more.”
Faker nodded heavily.
I didn’t know what they were saying. There may still be many more survivors lying under the rocks, waiting to be rescued.
However, they are only survivors to the end, and they will never become a force again. The Claymore Knights who followed Sagnard will no longer be able to recover.
The famed knights, who were famous in the Eastern Frontier, reigned as a symbol of fear for the savages, had vanished in such a fleeting way.
with just one wrong mistake.
That fact weighed heavily on Faker’s heart.
Still, Faker was willing to somehow find an opportunity to counterattack.
‘Fortunately, there are cavalrymen who did not join the canyon. There are soldiers who have not left the castle. If you can assemble them… !’
I will never make this mistake again. With that in mind, he cleared the canyon by collecting the defeated soldiers.
But Faker had to realize later.
that there is no crowd chasing them.
‘for a moment. After burying us all in the canyon, they didn’t make a second attack?’
For them, there would be no battle better than killing mice that fell into a trap and died. You gave up and left your seat?
In this case, two assumptions could be made.
One is when a second attack is attempted, but another variable occurs in the middle. It would have been possible if there was a unit that was not involved in the burial and aimed at the side of the Star Wars.
In this case, the Servant of the Stars must be trying to escape again. This is a favorable scenario.
And the other one.
‘If you have the confidence to build a bigger major… !’
It was the opposite scenario.
The Star Wars forces turn their horses in the opposite direction to attack the pursuers who were not driven by surprise.
Faker had a strong feeling that it was somehow the latter.
From the assassination of Sagnard to the gorge lure. Because they were operations that could never be solved without an advisor specialized in military strategy and military law.
If there were enough talented people, there must have been some kind of plan for the future work.
Therefore, it was necessary to hasten the movement even to confirm the facts.
and.
“Pe, Faker-sama… !”
“I am glad that you are safe.”
“Everyone… how did this happen?”
And the anxious feeling became a reality.
In fact, on the way to the fortress, all the allies he encountered were showing signs of being defeated.
And the inner story I heard was just amazing.
“her… !”
After the canyon burial. The cavalry, who managed to avert the crisis by joining late, pursued the separate army again.
No, to be precise, it collided with those who turned their heads.
and.
I lost completely.
“They were a newcomer, themselves… !”
Obviously, in their view, the Star Wars were a chaos that had not yet fully equipped their ranks.
It was clearly a newly formed unit.
Individual skills may be quite good, but because of that, it was difficult to harmonize, and in the end, they were defeated in battle.
On the other hand, they are elites who have been working together while protecting the eastern frontier for a very long time.
Of course, the comparison itself with the mischief was a shame for them. Moreover, the number of heads was still large.
Yet they were defeated. It was because the tactics used by the star servants were like playing with ghosts.
If you tried to fight one line, another line appeared from behind like a ghost, and when you tried to block them, another line appeared from the other side.
In addition, there were so many scrolls, the Star Warlords sparingly used magic whenever necessary.
Then, when I was swung back and forth and retreated… He said it was like this.
‘Is it not only military strategy, but also excellent command skills… ?’
The anxiety grew even greater.
Anxiety that maybe it wasn’t just the chase that suffered.
Still, somehow soothing his heart, he led the remnants of the fortress toward the fortress, and in the process could continue to collect more soldiers.
They all spoke together. It is said that I ended up like this because I was fooled by the movements of the new and absent star warlord.
And at the center of it was a woman.
‘Unscented! Cheongsa’s wife was here!’
Although it was overshadowed by her beauty, Isabel Weil’s learning and intelligence had a reputation in the social world. So, even if she failed to take over her office, rumors would follow that she could further prosper her family, which was her commercial district.
However, it seems that such knowledge and wisdom were also present in military tactics and tactics.
At this level, it was not at a level that could simply be called a ‘staff’.
military (military).
A being who can change the battlefield to his own taste using various tactics and means.
In this era of shining many strong and super experts, it is known that the presence of lumber has been greatly diluted… would have been there
And Faker’s thoughts were confirmed the moment he arrived at the fortress.
Because I saw a flag standing high on the watchtower.
An owl on a book.
It was the flag that symbolized Mervinger and the Star Wars.
“Uh, how… !”
“What the hell happened… ?”
“Huh! Sagnard… .”
In the midst of a bewildered remnant, Faker bit his lower lip.
Rumors about Elric spread rapidly.
“Did you hear that?”
“What do you mean?”
“The rumors about the Mervinger family.”
“Isn’t that a lie?”
“no way. Are there any eyewitnesses?”
Rumors that he led about a hundred followers and captured Ketriin fortress alone.
At first, no one believed the rumors.
No matter how much Elric has gained fame recently, how can he capture the fortress in just one day with such an army that is not even the most elite?
Conceptually, that made sense.
For that reason, even the soldiers at the main headquarters would dismiss it as a false rumor.
Likewise, the nobles wanted to be at this time and started chewing on Elric.
“The Duke of Chan Sung is also doing things that are not very good.”
“That’s right. He has dressed himself up like that and raised his reputation, but he seems to be throwing out unreasonable numbers because he doesn’t want to reveal anything that is not really substantial.”
“Even if it were, I would have no choice but to get caught. tt! How could you be so short-sighted?”
“It’s like that when you’re young.”
“The last remaining flame of the magic inscription
Looks like this will turn it off.”
Most of them were displeased with Mervinger’s resurgence.
Of course, I didn’t miss this opportunity.
Rather, he was even thinking of trampling on it so that Mervinger would never happen again.
“Rather than that, the blue lion who was said to help the Star Wars will also lose his reputation.”
“It’s just that Pan-guk is often told that he can’t even manage the house because of a bone and meat conflict. He said it was like he fell on the floor. ttt!”
“More than that… I am only concerned about who will become the 4th Prince in this case.”
“The 4th Prince himself said that Mervinger was a friend, so we need to crack down on that word.”
For that reason, the Weil family, who had been closest to Mervinger, as well as Prince Kromhel, who referred to Elric as a ‘friend’, were in danger of missing out on the adverse effects.
In fact, Hermann and Prince Kromhel didn’t seem to care at all.
No, rather, he had no doubt that he would hear interesting news soon.
The main headquarters were preparing for the upcoming full-scale battle in their own way. While Elric and Star Wars attract the attention of the enemy, it is time to start the attack.
Around the time when I had been busy holding on to each other for three or more days with my own thoughts.
An envoy from the Star Wars Army arrived at the main headquarters.
Even on a tough battlefield, he came and went, and his clothes were shabby, but his eyes were shining brightly.
it happened
When the ambassador revealed that he had brought Elric’s gift for the Crown Prince, people thought Elric was doing something futile now.
It was thought that he was trying to use a bribe to change Prince Zereitz’s heart.
But when the ‘bribe’ was revealed in the main headquarters.
“concubine!”
“I, that is… ?”
“Uh, uh, uh, how could such a thing… !” One by one, people were greatly shocked.
Sagnard.
Because the head of one of the four claws that the enemy loves so much was there.
