Sacred Chevalier

Episode 69: An Unexpected Struggle

"Well, 1500? You look like you've had a pretty good first battle defeat. My LeBlanc family will stab you in the face."

"You can't just be handled by His Excellency the Marquis. We'd like the Piana family to join us on the edge of the line, wouldn't we?

The two Javalist aristocrats laugh with certainty of victory, but Baron Lucont, a fair-child who overheard Kite's slight whine, coughed up and asked Kite.

"What do you think of Lord Chevalier Kite?

As a kite, I have no interest whatsoever where I have stated my thoughts here. But William and other nobles have also turned their gaze to Kite. When that happens, you can't even keep quiet. Ignoring two of the Javalists laughing, Kate put a pawn on the desk.

"I'm concerned about the number of 1500. From the response of the first war, we predicted that there would be about 1800 enemy residues. 300 less than that..."

"Even when it comes to heroes, you're still a young man. The enemy is a bandit, not an army. There is no loyalty there. If you lose handsomely, some of you will escape to our own cuteness. Instead, I'm surprised there's 1500 left."

Jean LeBlanc snorted. Kate thanked him with no expression and pulled back there. William was uncomfortable with the condition. Would a man named Kite, who I know, have been such an easy man to pull back? Whether the opponent is a great nobleman, wasn't he the man who insists on a grand argument if he thinks he's right?

"The enemies now are the thieves who would be entering this city. It may be harder to find than having a large crowd gathered in a small settlement. Then there will be nothing but increased security in the pantry, deputies, etc. As far as immediate food is concerned, each nobleman shall contribute to the extent possible. And quickly, slaughter and triumph the remaining enemies. Is that a good policy, too?

To LeBlanc's voice, William stopped thinking.

Williams, each nobleman is busy calculating the food he contributes, etc. But Kate, a hero, doesn't have to do that. Return to the curtain and discuss the future.

"Lord Kite, are you sure you want to stay like this?

Werner gave the opinion. The Elfinas are looking at each other. Kate nodded, so Werner started explaining.

"The number of enemies remaining is not 1500, but 1800. I mean, 300 is acting differently, and we have no idea. Most people don't even realize it exists."

"Wait. At the end of the first war, it would have been about 1,800, but I thought it was no win, and then I escaped 300, isn't that what you said?

"Mademoiselle Roglaia, if it is, it is more suspicious to have enemies left. If you thought you didn't win, you should just run. At 1500, he has a formation on the hill. This fact tells the story of the few soldiers who escaped."

"Werner's opinion is correct"

Kite went in between. Arrange two pawns on the desk.

"Whether you're from a bandit or not, this enemy is not just a bunch of bandits. Those who control, those who think of measures, those who fight, each have a role to play in the Army Organization. Especially those who exercise control...... did I say Guran? I can't insult his power of control. It unified Ursu Taiwan, a desolate platform, for a short period of time, binding the bandits who lived in disorder and selfishness without upbringing. If you limit yourself to control, you're better than a general."

"So Kate, where do you think those 300 went?

To Elfina's inquiry, Kate picked up a small pawn. I shake my head with my fingers.

"I don't know. Given its size, it can be used for ambushes and for assaults. Extreme stories, it's not impossible to storm the main battalion in the middle of a battle to win the General's neck. That's why I care."

"Lord Kite. Returning to my earlier question, why didn't you say that on that occasion? From my eyes, His Excellency LeBlanc is alarmed. Just in case..."

"Don't get me wrong, Werner. I'm a chevalier. I'm not a general. I mean, I'm not serving the kingdom. All I'm carrying right now are my precious knights (paladins), a thousand men from General Faranx, and the army of Sir William Loguire, Elfina's father."

"Lord Kite..."

Werner realized the identity of the discomfort he had been having throughout this battle. At some point Werner regarded Kite as a "general". If you are a general, you are responsible for the entire battle. The goal, even in alliance with other armies, is a final victory. But not the man in front of you. Kite is not a general. In other words, there is no need to make it a goal, such as a final victory. Extreme stories, five other armies have been wiped out, and whether Parkshire is a burning field or Kate is sorry, she will not feel responsible.

"Don't worry. This battle wins. Even with 300 ambushes, we'll never lose."

The scope of the term "we" is limited to a thousand Faranx troops and a thousand Roglaia troops. Even the same neutral Baron Adrian Duma was out of its reach.

(Is this who this rare hero (Chevalier) is? You will have friendship, affection, respect, brother-in-law and duty towards others. But I don't just have "loyalty". If the kingdom becomes a wall on the path it intends to follow, it must try to destroy it without hesitation)

Werner, a "military man of the kingdom" everywhere, fought so in his heart.

When the kites entered the provincial capital, the group appeared in Count Loronoa Piana territory, adjacent to the southwest of Parkshire province.

"Son of a bitch, do it!

Travel to hide in the darkness of the night and strike the settlement once and for all. The Count Piana family has no army. There are minimal vigilantes, but they do not come very much to the armed forces.

"Root scratches, even to livestock, grain and kimono!

"Heh heh heh!"

The three hundred bandits continued to attack the settlement in an odd voice. When plundered in one settlement, he sends about ten men to the northeast with his luggage. Though in the shape of a marching squad, its purpose was to carry loot to Ajit on Ursutai.

"Temehe and the others, leave the woman behind. He is a battle against time. We'll be on the run in two days."

The man who led the way, Guran, turned a harsh look on his men. A burglar rush should already be on its way to Parkshire Prefecture. Staff Sgt. Ilham Sinan tells me we can hold off for a few days, but if we get the timing wrong, they could destroy each and every one. I was feeling a jizzy rush and a definite exaltation for an operation like stepping on thin ice.

It was none other than the Lord Himself who raged at the news of the "appearance of bandits in the territory of Count Piana". The fact that I sent out soldiers to crusade backfired. At present, there are no soldiers left in Piana territory who can fight 300 bandits. In order to preserve her face as a nobleman, Piana herself needed to embark on a crusade here. During the meeting where the six families gathered, Count Piana says with a careless look on his face.

"I'm distressed, but I have to break down my soldiers for border security. I would like to return about a thousand and put them in charge of the security of the replenishment."

"It is not the responsibility of Sir. We'll take care of the little thieves, and I want the lord to establish his rear safety."

When Count Piana led the soldiers out of formation, there was a harsh atmosphere inside the curtain building. "I didn't think I would struggle this much" was everyone's mood. As he altered the air, Marquis LeBlanc spoke to the young hero.

"What does Lord Chevalier think of the way forward? I'd like to hear Sir's opinion."

Kate herself understood that it was an inquiry to change the air. That's why I respond in a bright and casual manner.

"There will probably be no more bandits who attacked Count Piana's territory. As things stand, the force on this side is overwhelming the enemy, and from the enemy's side, whatever it takes, I wanted to cut the force. So first, we infiltrated Meath, burned the pantry, ran into a shortage of supplies, followed by a backward disturbance to disperse the force on this side. Until now, it will be as the enemy thinks."

Marquis LeBlanc struck his tongue. When it is thus organized by words, it feels like it is being rolled by the palms. That's why Kate kept saying the words.

"But that's it, too. This advantage will not change. We already know where the enemy is. The enemy can be sufficiently annihilated, even if they put a reserve unit on alert for only 1500 and 300 of a separate squad. Attack with overwhelming quantities and let's get this over with."

Everyone nodded. Confirm as William smiles.

"Kite, is there anything to be wary of?

"It's 1500 in formation on the hill, but you should be quite prepared for that. Probably like a trap. It shows an attitude of fighting, because there is some chance of winning. The enemy is a bandit. I will not risk my life for loyalty or honor."

Dismissed, each preparing to appear. Kate was checking the map in her curtain building. Werner explains it with a finger stick.

"The enemy is in a position to line up and intercept this small high hill. We are approaching from the south in the form of a semi-enclosure."

"What about this forest?

On the east side of the hill, there was a forest stretching about Nikiro Square. It is an affordable size for placing ambushes. Werner tilted his neck. I haven't heard anything from the scouts.

"I haven't received any reports from the scouts. In particular, don't you need to be vigilant?

"Well. Even if there were ambushes, it would be about a hundred at best. But I care about the place."

As she stroked her jaw, Kate stared at the map.

There is no longer any point in remaining in Parkshire province than plundering as much as possible. But Sinan and 1500 dared remain in the land. We need a little more time for Gyulan-led 300 to safely return to Ursu Taipei. I also wanted to keep a fight and a tactical victory here to stop the enemy from pursuing.

"The enemy's staff is probably aware of my measures or will be anticipating the possibility. But will my mighty aristocrats hear my opinion?

Sinan grinned and skipped the instructions to the soldiers.

"Prepare Kasayamako. Once the stone throwing unit has stopped the enemy, step back into the woods as you should. Winning on this hill is not an end. The goal is to attract them to the woods."

(I can't beat that 2500. But not if the other troops are opponents. If he triumphs here and runs away, he and the others will be even stronger. Unify the Ursus Taiwan, accumulate power and challenge the kingdom to rematch......)

For Ilham Sinan, who was bored to live, the months since coming to Ursu Taipei have been full days. Especially during the past two weeks, he had found fresh joy in fighting powerful enemies around his opponents for their tactics.

"Enemy Staff... I don't know your name, but I'd like to see you."

Before the approaching showdown, Ilham Sinan was excited.

Two days after leaving the provincial capital, Meath, the kites' 10,000 armies finally reached the showdown land. Looking up at the formation set on a small high hill, Kate narrowed her eyes. The hills are fenced by the way, making them an impromptu fortress.

"Did that baking also mean buying time? If there's enough food, there's a way to siege and starve the Quartet, but since there's only so much food left, there's no way this side can take time either. I realized I couldn't win the first war, and I've struck a step by step. A man named Sinan, do it."

"Not if you're impressed, Lord Kite. It's military time."

In the military debate in front of the enemy, it broke into two main opinions. I guess I've gotten more concerned with a handful of 150s. Marquis LeBlanc began to say that only his own army would come forward and fight. William disagrees with it.

"I'm not talking about how the handle is. Our food is limited. Not least Sir Piana has been separated and there are fewer soldiers. This place should be surrounded by all armies and attacked."

"My soldiers are 4500, three times the enemy. If you attack simultaneously from three directions, let's strike it down in a few hours, such as that level of hill. If you're a Lacroix, a Lukonto soldier, I'd still like the lords who decorated the first battle to be a hindsight."

"Then shouldn't we at least add Lord Hero (Chevalier) and a thousand Northern troops? With the power of the elite troops and the Holy Knight (Paladin), victory is beyond doubt. And the hero, is that all right?

"At your request, we can help you."

But as Marquis LeBlanc, this compromise was not interesting. Even though he is a hero, he is a civilian. "I'll help you," he said, stimulating a sense of nobility.

"We don't need the help of civilians! My army is enough! Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going out."

He was cut off unilaterally, and William sighed. Kate narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the exit of the curtain hall where LeBlanc had left.

"Have you still attacked each faction in pieces? If we were besieged by all armies, we would have had to lose, but now we have a winner."

Sinan warped the end of her mouth as she looked down at the enemy about to attack the hill from three directions. Meanwhile, the Marquis Army of LeBlanc had divided the army into three parts and had begun attacking with 1500 soldiers each from three directions. But the fortified hills are not easy to climb. By the way, dirt and wooden fences are stretched, and if you try to avoid them, they fit into the trap.

"There are pitfalls, rockfall schemes and other injuries in various locations."

"You abominable bandit!

Marquis Jean Leblanc was poisoned, but still the Marquis Army was gradually attacking the hills. When it arrives around the sixth, a stone-throwing attack begins. Standing on top, proceed jizzily as you guard against ambushes.

"Okay, now! Attack southeast enemies all at once!

Soldiers who were hiding in positions unseen from the bottom are attacked by troops who have attacked from the southeast. At the same time, the stone throwing squad at the top of the mountain rode and ran down at once.

"Don't think about annihilation! Leave the momentum to break through the enemy and escape into the woods!

Keeping the momentum running down, the Sinans 1500 defeated the Leblanc army and tried to get straight into the East Forest. But before that, there was an army moving to the side. It is a thousand northern armies led by Kate.

"Poke on the side of the enemy! Don't let them escape into the woods!

"Chip! Hurry! Let's get out of here before the enemy gets here."

I can play the rear of the 1500 line trying to escape. Sinan looked back and pounded her tongue, but there's no reason to stop here. While losing 200 of the 1500, the Sinans succeeded in fleeing to the woods.

"You! Move your soldiers on your own, what do you mean!

Two Fairchilds condoned Marquis Jean LeBlanc yelling furiously at Kite. Kate had a dark feeling. In a state of fragmentation like this, you can't even win a battle you can win. The enemy's staff, Ilham Sinan, perceived the situation on this side in the first battle and attempted to foment confrontation with the stirring up of the Javalist aristocracy and arson in the pantry. The gathering of bandits and their foolishness, but the people of Uruguay were on this side.

"It's not a mistake that Kate moved. As it were, the enemy was almost intact and would have fled into the woods. I caught up with the momentum that ran down the hill because I was an elite northern army. Well done, Kite."

The Marquis of LeBlanc finally calmed down as he roughed his breath and stared at Kite.

"Now it's time to kill all the thieves! Don't you dare!

"Please wait. It is dangerous to enter this forest alone with the Marquis."

"Shut up!

Not even listening to Kite's stillness, Marquis Jean LeBlanc left the curtain building roughly. Kate dropped her shoulder and shook her head. He took on the first battle to increase the fame of the Roglia family in this battle. The prospect worked. And then we lay a joint front, while we take turns sharpening enemies. Sasha's predicted defeat pushes the Javals or Fairchilds, ending with an assault by the Phalanx army. That was the first painting that Kate painted.

The enemy, however, has struck a course of action from a direction that he can't even think of. Infiltration and backward disturbances bring the Javaar faction to life and even defeat the army that tried to besiege it. Marquis LeBlanc, crushed in the face, hurries and tries to do something with his own army alone. It would be a way to infiltrate the settlement, gather information and even think about the temperament of Marquis Leblanc. If so, the measure cannot end here. There must be vicious measures in this forest. Sasha's painting is past her head. Really, that might be referring to our own future.

"I didn't mean to alarm you, but war is not what you think it is."

"Kite?"

Elfina spoke to Kite, who shrugged small. Kate looked up. I don't want to give my holy knight a dark look. Striving to get a bright look on his face, Kate advanced a new operation to the Marquis de Roglia.

Marquis Jean LeBlanc, forming himself in the woods, was overjoyed by the reward that came through with a red and black look. In the woods, it is difficult to take advantage of the strengths of numbers. The 4500 was divided into several parts, and we had no choice but to proceed through the forest in a long line with Zorozolo. An arrow shoots from the unexpected, and when chased, it fits into the pit.

Ilham Sinan had set a trap focused on the west side of the forest. Because we could easily have expected to come after ourselves. And that army was also calculating that it was the Marquis Javar family with the greatest force. For he hath put the measure round about, so that it may be so.

"I say. The scouts are back. He's replenished the enemy's main army."

"Right! Let him through right now!

The scouts that were starting came back. LeBlanc finally floated with joy. All you have to do is hit the soldiers there intensively. The scouts kneel before LeBlanc, who sits in a folding chair.

"The enemy is assembled in the deepest part of the forest, about a kilometer east of here."

"Hum, shall we make a showdown in this forest? Smart. Only our army will destroy you!

Roughing his nose, LeBlanc stood up. But the next moment, the scourge that was kneeling moved. They were slaughtered by Leblanc and the nearest ones. A thin dagger protruded into LeBlanc's throat with a startling look on his face.

"Hey, what..."

That was the last word LeBlanc uttered. The soldiers gather when they hear the noise. But he didn't know what it was. The men hurried away as they slid through the midst of the dazed soldiers. A man disguised as a kingdom soldier murmured as he ran.

"You tried to move the fight the way you wanted, didn't you? I'm sorry to hear that. You don't have enough experience yet."

Ilham Sinan whispered in a low voice against an enemy he had yet to see.
