46.THE START OF THE WAR AT THE MOUTAINS
“I guess we should be focusing on speed.”
At the mountain area, at the other side of the Lulia river at the upstream part, there was a black colored group. The attire of the man that was at its center was a combination of black pelts and his black armor. His aura was much like that of a wolf, and his appearance was also like that of a wolf. It was a wolf in the shape of a human; the one called the [Black Wolf], Volf.
“Han? Isn´t our mobility restricted here? Then why go all the way? It´s just better to just beat them up with strength like the usual, isn´t it?”
Volf saw Nikka as an idiot. Thinking about it, and adding in her lack of sensuality too, he sighed.
“Hey, what´s that sigh for? I will f.u.c.king kill you, b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
Leisurely dismissing Nikka´s voice that was filled with anger, Volf looked at the other person that was with him.
“It´s because of that that were are focusing on it, Nikka. It is because the mobility is being restricted that its value skyrocketed. In the situation both sides know well about the terrain, mobility for taking better positions than the opponent is essential. The speed in execution, movement speed, the cooperation with the other troops; every thing related to [speed] becomes important.”
Nikka clapped her hands as if she had reached an understanding. She probably still didn´t understand.
“That´s the essential at the first days of the battle. However, there is a part there that we definitely lack.”
“That is the cooperation with the other troops, right?”
At the same time Volf was starting to talk about their strategy, Nikka started to fish somewhere in the area. She had no desire to be part of the discussion about their strategy. She didn´t have even a bit of interest in strategy. She also didn´t want to study about it either. Seeing her old friend act like that, Volf gave a long sigh.
“Well, I guess. The one in charge is that man after all. He isn´t the type of person that would want to hear us with our lack of status. Cooperation is impossible.”
“Even among the seven kingdoms, social status is very valued in Nehdarks after all… As a mercenary, it is so difficult to deal with this.”
It was Nehdarks´ troops that were pressing on the mountain side, but it seemed this was happening only for the moment. It didn´t seem like they would be able to take over it. If Volf was able to take the command of the whole army, the first thing he would do would be to take the mountains as fast as he could even if he had to greatly exhaust his military strength.
“The commander is such a p.u.s.s.y. For him to stand out like that and then get isolated… How stupid! For how long has he been keeping this up? The mountain is a natural stronghold, you know? If you get to take it, even if you are isolated, it´s possible to hold out somehow. It is because an incompetent that can´t even realize that is at the command that the situation is like this.”
Volf made an ugly face.
“The bad side of the conservative Nehderks is showing up. They are too scared to make a mistake.”
“The worst is that the enemy side is composed of the younger generation… It will be a headache.”
Although Arcadia was also had a big conservative side, since their troops were composed from the younger generation, they should be able to push back. Moreover, at the present time, Arcadia had the enough momentum to permit a few mistakes. They had more than the enough foundation to be holding the intent of attacking.
“They will keep losing their battles at those first days. Well, it´s fine… My target is the [White Mask] after all.”
Nikka, who had been fis.h.i.+ng, suddenly turned around and threw a knife. It would be in trajectory of hitting Volf if he hadn´t dodged it. Volf´s cheeks were twitching.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you are still aiming for that oppai! Are you waging war for b.o.o.bs!? Do you like them that much!? Don´t kid me, s.h.i.+t!”
