Chapter 478
he gates of the fortress open as they are confirmed by the telescope.
Next, Knight Commander Dinas takes the lead with a gold crushing rod in hand, and a mixed force of the First and Second Knights of Bardia leads "I," "Father," and "Amon" in a mad dash toward the Malbus camp.
Confused by the loss of their general, the soldiers of the fox people were confused by the sight of Amon and the attacking knights, and some of them fled.
Some of them are fighting in the dark, and others are losing control and falling more and more into chaos.
Dinas and the knights who left the fort are the real deal.
But the "we" over there are nothing more than shadow warriors, transformed by the "incarnation technique" of Dan, Zabu, and Lowe, raccoon warriors belonging to the Second Order's special forces branch.
Of course, they are also prepared to defend the fort after Dainas and his men leave for battle.
Curtis, who has fought many battles in the past, is in command, and his assistants, Stein and Raymond, are taking care of things in his absence.
If a calm enemy general with a bird's-eye view of the battlefield and a strong leadership ability had remained behind, he would have felt something strange about the troops led by Dinas.
And if confronted by an overwhelmingly large army led by the pride of the Fox people, it would be nearly impossible to break through the enemy line, even for the Bardia Knights.
However, there were no outstanding "enemy generals" left in the enemy line.
This is the only reason why flashes of light are running one after another from the sky, lightning strikes are falling on the battlefield, and explosive smoke is continuously being generated.
The arias in the air are constantly peering into the battlefield with the same telescope I am using right now.
In addition, there are also members of the group in the narrow fortress who are watching the enemy lines on the battlefield with a telescope, and they share information with Aria and the other members of the group through communication magic.
If any of the enemy soldiers make even the slightest attempt to lead the troops, they are instructed to snipe them mercilessly from the sky with their "magic spear bow sentinels".
The enemy soldiers on the battlefield are probably already aware of this.
The enemy soldiers on the battlefield have probably already noticed that the "general" commanding the army is being targeted by lightning strikes.
The enemy soldiers are frightened and cower as they see the fact that "if you try to lead the army, you will be shot through by lightning.
In this case, the soldiers of the Fox tribe could no longer be called a large army.
They are no longer a large army.
When I turned my telescope toward the camp of Malbus, who was in command of the front, I saw a foxman who looked like an officer hurrying back to his camp.
Immediately afterward, thunder rumbles, the light from the magic spear bow glints and a smoke explosion is created, and the officer falls to the ground, charred black.
From inside the formation, which is invisible from the outside, Malbus appears, points to the sky, and shouts something angry, and a large number of fire magic and arrows are shot into the sky.
Well, with that level of anti-aircraft barrage, they won't be able to hit Aria and the others.
It would be better than not trying, though.
As I looked at Malbus as it was, he was pointing backward and shouting angrily again.
Perhaps he is asking for reinforcements from Rafa, who is waiting in the rear.
I looked through the telescope at Rafa's camp, but it was so quiet that the chaos of the previous battle was a lie.
'......It appears that she has done everything we asked of her."
"It would seem so."
My father, who was likewise staring into the enemy camp through the telescope, nodded at my words.
There were three things I asked Rafa to do at the meeting.
The first was to concentrate the troops in front of the narrow fortress.
Second, to have Malbus take command of the front line.
Third, I want Rafa to stay on the outside until the status of the war between the two houses becomes clear.
With the enemy soldiers concentrated on the front, the sniping by Aria and her team would be immensely effective.
They succeeded in wreaking havoc on the enemy.
And the fact that Malbus is in command of the front battle is also the reason why the enemy forces are on the rear.
From the information obtained from Amon, it was known that Malbus lacked experience in warfare and wanted "military merit."
If he wanted to win, there was a high possibility that he would resort to aggressive measures, even if it would cause some damage.
We set a trap for them.
By renovating the fort to make the enemy forces stay in front of it, we tried to nullify their organizational and leadership capabilities by sniping enemy officers with Aria and others, and finally, we disrupted the previous battle by using shadow warriors.
It would be difficult for Malbus, who was inexperienced in actual combat at this point, to recover from the previous battle.
When he realized that the front was out of control, he would naturally call for reinforcements.
However, Rafa, who is right behind him, has decided to stay on the "sidelines" until the war situation is fixed through talks with us.
That's her.
She's probably enjoying watching the battle from her own camp right now.
"Rid. Let's make our move."
'Yes, "
When he heard my reply, he turned to Cross, Diana, and Capella, who were standing beside him.
"You guys . Take care of Rid, will you?
I am at your service. I will protect him with my life and my soul.
Cross answered on behalf of the others, and Diana and Capella also bowed deeply.
'Yes. Then, the operation will begin in 10 minutes from now. Let's get into our positions.'
Father then turned his attention back to me again.
"Rid. Don't be reckless. The battle is won if Amon and I take Gareth's head. Your unit is only to hold them back. ...... Do you understand?"
I will not do anything reckless. But please rest assured that no matter what happens, I will not let 'Elba' go to Father and Lord Amon.
Amon, standing by my father's side, looked worried as he narrowed his eyes and smiled.
'Rid. My brother ...... no, Elba is strong. If you are not able to hold him back, you can pull back and regroup. He is not a simple opponent".
"Yes, I know. I understand. But I've got a strong group of people who can help me. I will do something about it."
After saying this, he turned around.
Behind me stood Capella and Diana, the members of the First Order led by Cross, and all the squad leaders selected from the Second Order.
I was looking back at them, and they were all standing behind me. Please feel free to call me Rid.
I see. Then you can call me 'Amon' as well.
". All right, Amon. I'll see you later."
"Oh, Rid. I'll get Gareth, I promise."
"Yes, and take care of Noir and Lagarde. They're a bit reckless, too.'
All right. I'll handle it."
Amon nodded his head and looked at the two men in the same unit.
Noir and Lagarde are the only two who will be accompanying Amon to defeat Gareth in this battle.
In fact, Noir is the only survivor who has the blood of "Greas Grandek" in her veins.
Her mother, a woman named Marichel, is said to have already died of illness.
Noir and Lagarde lived secretly in the territory of the Fox people, hiding their birth.
They hope to one day avenge their parents and other condemned members of their family.
However, reality was harsh, and they were caught by slavers and sold to the Barstos, who happened to find them in the Bardia family.
It was only recently that they told me this story, which was a surprise to me.
I told Amon about their background.
He, too, was amazed and moved by the fact that the orphaned son of his uncle, Gareth, had survived.
The three of them immediately hit it off as like-minded in their quest to defeat Gareth.
Their determination and morale were extraordinary, and Noah and his team decided to let Amon accompany them.
Of course, the aim was not only to boost morale.
It was a decision based on a variety of considerations for the future.
"Master Rid. Thank you for listening to our selfishness. We will surely make up for our 'regret'.
Noir. I know how you feel, but you mustn't push yourself too hard, okay? Lagarde, you must protect her.
"Yes. , I will protect her."
After the conversation with them, I turned my attention to "him" who has been in a delicate atmosphere with Diana since this morning.
