Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 480

lba's camp seemed to be distracted by the front line and did not notice our presence as we came out of the forest.

Eventually, the enemy line noticed a group in red armor holding a banner with the Bardia family crest and centipedes, but it was already too late.

Our army had caught them within effective range of our magic.

"Those who don't want to die, get down!"

I shouted, and used compression magic to create a huge ball of water in the sky, which I hurled at the enemy line.

Next, the children of the second order's squad leader, Diana, Capella, Cross, and other knights who can handle magic, who were standing by my side, shot magic of various attributes at the enemy camp all at once.

It seems that the enemy team, which was late in responding to the surprise attack, could not fully defend against the magic we fired.

A tremendous pillar of water, smoke, and noise came from the enemy camp, and the earth shook.

According to the information from Aria and the others in the sky, the number of troops in the enemy line with Elba was about 1,000.

However, they are probably elite.

How much damage could the current attack have caused?

Just as I was thinking that, countless "flames" flew out of the smoke from the explosion, which I could not yet see.

After all, that level of damage was not enough.

"Master Rid. Magic is coming. Let's form a defensive formation to prevent it."

"No, this is just a threat. The whole army is going in like this."

"What ......⁉"

Cross and his men looked at each other with wide eyes, but if you look closely at the magic that was released from the enemy camp, it is clear that they did not catch our position.

"It's better to stop and run for your life than to be hit. I guarantee it. Cookie!"

I called out his name, and he roared his intentions as he increased his running speed.

"Run through the wall of obstacles while deploying it in front of you. "Proceed with the intention of running out of recovery medicine. If you get into fierce battles, it will be difficult for the enemy to use magic. This is the first obstacle!"

"Oh, oh!"

The knights in the background shouted in high morale.

If they stop here, their own army will lose momentum and give the enemy forces time to regroup.

The importance of the "pioneer" in warfare has been heard in advance.

"Morale in a battle depends on the first step. If a man is not afraid of the enemy and stands up to him bravely, the soldiers will naturally follow him. But the reverse is also true."

My father taught me this in the training program for successors.

Then, if I, in my position, carry out that role, the morale of the knights will be enhanced.

"I'll lead the way and attack the enemy position."

"Master Rid! Please don't do anything rash."

Despite Cross's words, Cookie, with me on her back, runs across the battlefield, dodging the flying flames.

......⁉ I see it!

Beyond the countless flames, there were warriors with spears that had been beastified into two-tailed and three-tailed figures.

But their formation was broken and their posture was not perfect.

The magic of the initial attack must have worked.

And if I look closely, I can see that they are all soaking wet.

I think they might have been directly hit by the magic I shot, the "big water ball".

"Hey, what's going on⁉ A child riding a demon just rushed out of the woods".

"Don't be flustered. Now that he is here, he is our enemy, no matter who he is. Stop that pioneer child!"

The foxmen warriors looked at each other with a sharp, murderous look in their eyes and held out the bed of spears.

"Fly, Cookie!"

He nodded in response, and with a mighty leap, he stepped on the hilt of his spear and leapt high into the air to leap over the bedding. The warriors rolled their eyes and looked up at us above them.

"What the hell?!"

I was on the back of the cookie, and I activated my "Lightning Spear" with my right hand as if I was holding it backwards.

I fired it at the ground around the area where the warriors were.

As the spear pierced the earth, thunder and lightning shot into the area.

"Aaaaaaahhh⁉"

The warriors who had been making the spear beds writhed in agony, and fell to the ground one after another.

The ground in this area was covered with puddles of water caused by the "big water ball.

In addition, they were soaking wet, so they were electrocuted by the "lightning spear".

I stopped the Cookie for the first time here, and looked back at the following team while raising my "magic sword" to the sky.

The breakthrough was open. The game begins here. Let's go in one fell swoop.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

The knights shouted at the top of their lungs, and with their morale high, they cut into the enemy line one after another.

With this, we can say that the pioneering effort was a success.

With the fear and excitement of death next to them, their hearts are racing, their ears and brains are sharp, and all the sights in sight seem to slow down.

Taking a deep breath, I looked at my hand holding the magic sword and saw that it was trembling slightly.

"I can't stop shaking. Is this the war?"

"Master Rid. Are you all right? It is your first time in battle. Please don't overdo it," Cross said, and Diana and Capella also looked at him with concern.

"Thanks . But we can't lose here. Let's go, everyone !"

Looking ahead, Cookie roared and ran across the battlefield again.

◇

It was not long after our surprise attack that there was movement on the battlefield.

The troops led by Gareth immediately noticed "our presence" and began to move to cover Elba.

But they could not come to our aid.

Because a detachment led by my father attacked the rear of the unit led by Gareth.

Why were the knights led by me wearing red armor and raising a banner in a surprise attack?

To quickly distinguish between allies and enemies on the battlefield, to boost morale, and to confirm their position. ...... There are several reasons, but the most important reason is to "stand out.

If there are troops moving on the battlefield wearing bright red armor, they will be visible to the naked eye even from a distance.

And they can't use "communication magic" like we can.

Due to Gareth's personality and character, which we had obtained beforehand.

If he sensed, even from a distance, that something was wrong with Elba's unit, Gareth would immediately move his troops.

In fact, Aria and her group, who were watching the battlefield from the sky, reported that Gareth and his group had moved as we had read, and that the surprise attack by the detachment led by his father had succeeded.

However, there was something unexpected.

Soon after Gareth and his men's movement was reported, a tribe of bird people of unknown affiliation appeared.

Aria and her group are currently engaged.

The fact that information from the skies was blocked and the enemy commander could no longer be expected to snipe or use air-to-ground magic for cover was a major blow to the operation.

Another unexpected development was that the forces led by Elba, as soon as they regained their posture, went on the offensive and launched an onslaught.

The physical capabilities of the beastmen are considerably higher than that of humans.

Even more so when it comes to soldiers who have mastered the use of animalization and undergone rigorous training.

We had a numerical advantage because we had succeeded in getting ahead of the enemy, but the battle changed the moment Elba began to lead the enemy force.

We were pushed back by the onslaught, and although we should have had a numerical advantage, we were being pushed back little by little.

But we could not back down.

We had to hold off the enemy forces here until my father's forces defeated Gareth.

If we lose, my father will have to deal with Gareth and Elba at the same time.

As I ran through the battlefield with everyone else, I saw a large fox-man tribe in front of me: ...... Elba.

He swung a battle-axe larger than his own height and reaped the knights ahead of him.

"......⁉ Elbaaaaah!"

I found myself shouting in anger.

He seemed to have noticed me, and he smiled wryly with a face stained red with blood.
