11 – Episode 11. Invasion of the Brans Army (3)

“What?!”

“It’s a surprise attack! It’s a surprise attack by the enemies!”

The arrows suddenly flew in, and the Brans army’s camp began to look disorganized.

I quickly grasped the situation.

Soldiers I had never seen before were attacking the Brans army from both sides.

‘…… What?’

At first glance, the number of soldiers seemed to be the same as that of the Brans army, which numbered about 8,000.

Such a large number of troops suddenly appear and ambush the Brans army.

“This…!”

At that time, Kane was looking around with a bewildered expression, unable to even figure out what was going on.

A man was approaching this place at high speed from over there.

The uniforms worn were similar to those of the soldiers who attacked the Brans army, not the Brans army.

The man stood right in front of Kane and immediately asked a question.

“Are you Kane, a member of the Lunarien Army?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“As expected, it’s exactly as I heard.”

The man took off his helmet and said.

“My name is Kale, the vice-leader of the Raven Mercenaries.”

‘Raven mercenaries?’

From the man’s mouth, words that existed in my head came out.

Raven mercenaries.

This is a special class called ‘Raven Archer’ and a group of armed mercenaries. In order to hire them, you had to clear a specific event, meet the conditions, and then give them a fairly large amount of money.

The absolute number of soldiers was not that large compared to the money spent, but their attack and defense power was much higher than that of ordinary archers, so once hired, they were useful in one way or another.

In this game, there were various mercenary groups other than the Raven Mercenaries, a special class of ‘Raven Archers’, but that’s all.

The problem was that it was not the group that would appear at this time.

‘If I remember correctly, aren’t these friends who can show up now?’

The first condition to be met in order to hire the Raven Mercenaries.

It was a total of three castles.

In a situation where you haven’t figured out the first step, a mercenary group appears…… It was a situation where they were helping us now.

Kane asked in disbelief.

“But how on earth did you recognize me?”

“I’ll explain later. Aren’t you currently being invaded by the Brans army?”

“That’s right.”

“We will help you.”

Leaving those words behind, the man left us.

As soon as the man left, I shouted as loud as I could.

“All troops, charge!”

Wow!!!!!!

Our troops, whose morale was boosted by the sudden addition of reinforcements, began to courageously charge the 8,000-strong army, which seemed overwhelming.

The Brans army, whose ranks were disorganized due to the surprise attack, began to collapse helplessly.

When looking at it as a whole, the total number of our soldiers was slightly less than 8,000-

I thought it would be a fight worth fighting if the joined ally was the Raven mercenary group.

Furthermore, didn’t that man just a moment ago look at Kane and say something meaningful, ‘It’s exactly what I heard.’

In my head, I began to understand little by little why I had asked Kane to be sent as the vanguard of the interception team.

Just then, Kane slowly turned his head towards me.

And soon, he opened his mouth in a trembling voice, as if he could not believe it at all.

“Swen-kun… Did you really expect it to turn out like this?”

“…….”

I slowly closed my eyes.

And, as much as possible, I acted like someone who expected this would happen.

“I’m glad they came in time.”

Even after I said it, I snorted inwardly, thinking that it was a very plausible line.

It was clear that anyone would see him as a very smart strategist who predicted everything.

“……This can’t be possible…Something like this can happen. Swen, where are you…!”

Kane is probably shocked by now.

And in his head, the sentence ‘Let’s first listen to what Swen says’ will be entered.

Even if those thoughts didn’t enter my mind right now, I had the confidence to show and prove it over and over again.

My predictions are 100% correct, without exception.

So, maybe-

We will be able to win this war too.

If it were a war that could not be won, the conclusion would have been ‘we must flee’.

I shouted again to the soldiers with a confident expression.

“Victory is ours! Don’t be afraid and fight with all your might! Let’s protect Zeeland with our own hands!”

* * *

“Calm! Stay calm! Stay in line! Eliminate the archers first!”

The Brans army was suddenly ambushed by archers from both sides.

Kalinz, who was at the forefront, was somehow able to take control and reorganize the disorganized ranks.

‘Damn it!’

When I looked, the number of archers shooting arrows was much greater than I expected.

I’m not sure, but I even got a feeling of fear that perhaps more than 8,000 soldiers were surrounding their army.

“Hey!”

“General! Evacuate!”

“What…!”

One of the adjutants next to Kalinz was struck in the head by an arrow and died on the spot, leaving a fatal wound.

Kalinz, startled, turned his head and fell backwards –

‘You can’t just run away without getting to Zeeland Castle…’ … !’

This expedition by the Brans army to pacify the central part of the continent.

We have also cleared out the Walnut Army, which once went so far as to toy with our army, but wouldn’t we be able to struggle against the Lunarien Army, whose strength is less than 1/3 of the Walnut Army?

Since Kalinz was already not able to make a proper contribution compared to his older brother, his impatience was gradually rising, which did not fit his calm personality.

Still, in any case, he was so angry that he didn’t do anything like charge his soldier mercilessly, but quickly made up his mind.

When I looked at it calmly, I thought that if I could just get rid of these archers, I would be able to easily push out the interception force.

Kalinz once again shouted loudly to his soldiers.

“Don’t panic, organize your ranks, divide into three directions, and take out the archers on the flanks first! We have the advantage in terms of the number of troops! Don’t be afraid and destroy them individually!”

I couldn’t run away from here.

At a single command from Kalinz, his soldiers split into ranks and began charging toward the archers on the flanks.

The group of 8,000 soldiers was divided into three groups and began fighting with the archers on both sides and the Lunarien army in front.

There was some damage to the troops, but I thought that if we continued like this, we would be able to win without difficulty.

‘Where on earth did these guys come from?’

These archers did not have the Lunarien military markings on their armor.

Then it is an external force…… Is it a mercenary group?

But where does a weak army like the Lunarien army get the money to hire a mercenary group of this size?

Besides, after fighting a few times now, I can tell.

The skills of these people are not average.

I don’t want to admit it, but if the number of infantry brought from this side was slightly less than 8,000, there was a high possibility that this side would be the one to be eliminated.

‘Damn it!’

Still, as long as I could catch it, that was enough.

Anyway, if we could conquer Zeeland Castle, we would be able to take into account a few thousand soldiers.

At the time when I was fighting with that thought in mind.

“Hey, Kalintz! From behind! From behind…!!”

“What’s going on!”

A soldier was running towards Kalinz in a hurry.

“From behind… The enemy’s surprise attack…!!”

“What…?!”

Carlinz looked as if he found it hard to believe.

As if surprise attacks from both sides weren’t enough, they now attack from the rear?

If troops came in from behind, it would inevitably be a fatal blow to our soldiers, who had been divided up so that they could individually defeat the soldiers from each direction.

After being attacked, I felt like I knew.

This is exactly why we conducted a surprise attack with time difference!

Realizing that his actions were the same as playing in the palm of someone’s hand, Kalinz frowned and thought.

‘Damn it…… ! “Where did it go wrong?”

Intelligence said that there were only about 3,000 soldiers.

Did they hide this many soldiers and intentionally wait for the invasion?

When I thought about it, it felt strange that the Brans army was in close proximity and they were not making any preparations for battle.

Even though they were eating up other countries one by one, including Walnut County, and even though the news must have reached the ears of Lunarien himself, he was spending his time peacefully without any signs of conscription.

But.

If you think that it was all a ploy to catch our military, who had sent the intelligence, off guard, everything started to make sense.

Isn’t the biggest proof that our military is actually in crisis?

‘Lunarien Inian…… She’s a scary woman…… !’

“You must avoid it! If you continue like this, you will be annihilated. Please make a decision, Kalintz!”

Another adjutant next to him shouted at Kalinz as if he were shouting.

Kalinz thought for a moment…… Soon he decided to retreat.

The surprise attack came first from both sides and then from behind.

There was no guarantee that there would not be another surprise attack.

“Retreat! All troops retreat! Each adjutant must quickly convey his intention to retreat!”

“Old!”

Kalinz turned his horse’s head and internally ground his teeth.

‘Lunarien…… ! I will definitely repay this shame with my own hands…… !”

* * *

Near the walls of Zeeland Castle.

“Hwaaa!”

Tifa, holding a huge axe, was guarding the castle gate with her soldiers, literally slaughtering enemy soldiers.

“Don’t attack little by little, attack all at once! You bastards!”

“Haaa!”

Next to Tifa, Lord Runarien was standing in the vanguard with his sword in hand, taking the lead in killing the enemies.

Because both generals had high military power, the fight was going on in a very different way from where Kane and Swen only gave orders from the rear despite being generals.

The one who raided them in the castle was the Garammil army that ruled the nearby Hoero Castle.

Garammil Letas, the monarch of Garammil County, was watching the battle with a bitter expression.

Currently the fight was at a standstill.

The number of soldiers brought by the Garammil army was 4,000.

The soldiers guarding the castle were fewer than our army, although the number could not be confirmed.

Of course, since Mercury was less difficult than Siege, even if I pinned down 4,000 people, I was not confident that I would be able to break through the gate guarded by those two monsters in front of me.

Isn’t the reason they were able to launch the attack in the first place because of their secret agreement with the Brans army?

The Garammil army was literally just waiting, watching the passing of a few hundred soldiers.

“Master, how long must we continue this meaningless war of attrition?”

In response to a question from the strategist who accompanied him, Garam Mil nodded slowly and said,

“Soon we will hear that the Brans army is attacking the castle. We can go in then.”

He was in a position to raise the military through actual threats of blackmail.

There was no need to fight so hard and die for no reason.

When they reach Zeeland Castle, it will not be too late to go in and fight together.

But…… This sluggish battle was taking longer than expected.

According to intelligence, the total number of soldiers in the Lunarien army is approximately 3,000.

Seeing that it was delayed this much, it seems that they somehow formed an interception team by splitting from that small pool of soldiers. Even if they had sent an interception party, they would not have been able to hold off 8,000 soldiers for this long.

Furthermore, wasn’t the opponent the Brans Army, not a ragtag bunch but the de facto loser of the central continent?

‘What’s going on?’

That moment.

“Master!”

The scout sent to check the situation ahead was riding here on horseback.

“What’s going on?”

“Brance’s army… Brans’s army has been defeated and is running away!”

“What?”

Brance lost?

8,000 To a guerrilla force of less than 3,000?

Looking at the number of defenders in front of him now, let alone 3,000, there were only 2,000, or at most 1,000, but he succeeded in blocking 8,000?

In addition, isn’t the female general who is said to be using her strength in the Lunarien army to fight on this side?

If not for that person, the only remaining general was an old man.

There was more than one thing I didn’t understand…… Anyway, now was the moment when a decision was needed.

“Master, what are you going to do?”

“Hmm…”

Whatever, there was no need for them to risk their lives and fight while the main force, the Brans army, was defeated.

Garam Mil quickly made up his mind.

“Beat the army! I will return to my territory!”

“Old!”

The Garammil army quickly organized its ranks and began to leave the battlefield all at once.

Tifa saw that and approached Luna and asked.

“What? Those bastards seem to be running away without even trying to catch up. Shall we chase them?”

“…No. That’s enough.”

Luna put down her weapon and assessed the situation.

…… Did you stop it?

‘Zeland Castle…… ‘Did you protect it?’

Wow!!!

The cheers of the defenders as they watched the fleeing troops struck Luna’s ears.

A large-scale invasion of Zeeland Castle by the Brans and Garammil armies.

The winner is Runarien Inian…… It was me.
