Editor: Starbuck11
Eclatia who rushed out from Ushi+as fort could immediately see the tents of the Ortomea Empire’s soldiers
The troops she led had entered the 300 to 400them and the enemy camp
It was quite a far distance for effective bow range, but regardless of it, Eclatia still gives out her order
”Second wave prepares to shoot ! Do not hesitate ! Give hell to those Ortos !”
Following Eclatia’s order, the knights on horseback pulled the bow again
”Loose the arrows !”
Eclatia swung down her sword and the Knights shot the arrows
The sounds of bowstrings and the flying projectiles penetrating the wind, resounded in Ushi+as basin
On the Knights' hands, they held a boith a unique curve The shape was fairly similar to that of a Turkish bow
Such boas quite unusual in this world where the longboas the most popular one
Or at least in the western continent
Such bow certainly had a convenient shape to use on horseback But of course, there was also a drawback
Because of its co, but on the other hand, the distance and penetrating poere quite low cobow
Well, the bow itself was not widely used for so in this world
The greatest weapons in this world's warfare was the body, that was strengthened by ic arts
That was the common sense in this world
However, the bow the knight order that Eclatia led was different in many aspects
It was Mist Kingdom state-of-the-art weapon that cost a lot of money and time to develop
Taking advantage of their status as a trading nation, they y they procured from a distant continent
The boas created byuse of a thin metal, leather, and bones fro tension which makes it impossible for a normal human to draw
It was already impossible for ordinary people to draw such bow
Let alone drawing such bow on the unstable horseback
It would be more reasonable to use a crossbow in such situation
However, there was no proble their physical ability by using ic arts
Of course, because the knights were
shooting the arrows from horsebacks that shake violently, they could not hope for a high rate of accuracy, but in the current situation, such high accuracy was not needed
Since what they needed to do was only to make the arrows reach the Orto the enemy
”The enemy seems to fall into confusion”
”That is natural They ht that their enemy would steal the firstdefensive battles, and never came out of our fort before”
Eclatia lifted her lips and laughed after she heard her adjutant words
Her s at its prey
Despite her elegant behavior, she gives off the same ferocious aura that Mikoshi+ba Ryouma has
But one can say that it was normal, because without such attitude, she wouldn’t be able to rule the areneral
”I guess you're right”
Their ressiveOnly defensive warfare
”I can understand your sentiment, but this kind of scenario can always happen Please prepare the next stage carefully”
Following Eclatia's ful words, her adjutant nodded his head
”Please do not worry I've prepared everything quite carefully after all”
Their surprise attack was ai only to bleed the opponent
It was part of a multi-layered trap they had devised
There was a plan that was ai 'that' plan could be executed, they needed to do so to fill in the blank
Looking at the her adjutant’s backaway, Eclatia murmured in a small voice
”You're quite a naive one O Iainst ainst that man”
Sardina's strategy byconsecutive wave attacks was not a mistake
However, such an idea was not the best one either
The more troops the army dispatched, the slower they could move, and it also accelerated the consumption of supplies
To be able to effectively use a large areneral needs a lot of experience and ability
And Sardina was still lacking in experience for e army
”Now then, it's tidom's horror into their hearts”
Eastern
hearts”
Eastern alliance ood to one's ears, but it was an alliance of convenience made because of a war
If there was an opening, interest, or opportunity
Any of thes they had previously hidden
In that sense, this war against Ortomea Empire was also an opportunity to show off one's national power to the other two
Now that Eclatia began to see that the as about to end, she decided to show off her country's strength
”Retreat if the enemy starts to make a move!”
Eclatia lifted her lips in a goodacross the field
”Reporting ! Approximately 2,500 enemy troops have attacked our camp, because of the enemy's rain of arrows, hundreds of people have suffered injuries”
The moment she heard the report, the bowl filled with soup fell from Sardina's hand
Because of the unexpected report, Sardina's mind ceased to work for a moment
It was also the sa the table
After being able to understand the situation, Sardina immediately raised her voice
”An ene ?! I told you to dispatch scouts and pay close attention to any movements from the fort!”
