14 Episode 13 Peronia War Part 4 (2/2)
The well-trained heavy cavalry of the Cribanarius quickly formed a triangular formation with Galfis at the top.
And ......
”Let's go!
”Ohhhh ！！！！
The infantry and archers took the path opened for Galfis, and he headed straight for the enemy.
A fence, a stake, and a shelter appear in front of him.
The mercenaries are stunned when they see the heavy cavalry ”Clibanarius” charging towards the fence.
The distance between them and the obstacle approaches rapidly.
And ......
”It's about time.
Hercule, who had been watching Garufis's charge from high ground, muttered to himself: ......
Asmodeus, break the illusion when the distance between Galfis and the (・・・・・・) obstacle created by the illusion reaches ten meters.
”Understood, Master.
A beautiful woman's voice echoed in Hercule's head.
The only person who can hear this voice is Hercule, who is under contract with the Great Spirit of the Dreamer, one of the 72 pillars of Asmodeus .......
Payment will be made later, in a week, in your dreams.
Yes ...... I'm looking forward to it, aren't I?
And so the illusion vanished: ......
”Charge!
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
The mercenaries fell into a state of panic when they saw the suddenly disappearing obstacle and the heavy cavalry ”Cribanarius” charging straight at them.
They had assumed that the obstacle would prevent the charge from succeeding, so they delayed their response.
Seeing the confused mercenaries, Galfis thrust his lance into the sky and shouted.
Amon!
One of the seventy-two pillars.
Galfis summoned Amon, the Great Spirit of Fire, his own contracted spirit.
The scorching flames swirled around Lance like a snake.
And then, the flame-wrapped lance lunged straight at the enemy.
The flames burst forth, scorching the surrounding mercenaries in an instant.
The flashy flames weren't as destructive as they looked, but they were enough to scare the ...... soldiers and make them flee.
The formation was completely broken.
It's not as destructive as it looks, but it's enough to terrify the soldiers and make them flee.
”Eligos!
Karolina also summoned her spirit.
It was Eligos, the Great Spirit of Weapons, one of the 72 Pillars.
In Carolina's hand, a silvery lance appears.
Lighter than a feather to its owner, and heavier than an anchor to the attacker, the lance blasts and crushes the enemy one after another.
The spearhead of Darius' army, the 28000, was beginning to collapse.
Well, that was to be expected.
Compared to the screaming, fleeing mercenaries, Darios remained calm.
The spearhead troops, the disposable mercenaries, were useless, their ranks were broken by longbow arrows, and they were destroyed by the assault of the heavy cavalry, the Cribanarius.
This is a predictable development.
In fact, it is true that I wanted to defeat Hercule by force, so I was actually quite depressed. ......
He never showed it on his face and gave a second instruction.
Tell the commanders to move the mercenaries to the left and right. Keep the barbarian light cavalry on standby. Crossbow and long spear troops to the front.
As Darios instructed, the mercenaries moved to the left and right to escape.
Instead of running backwards and forwards, the mercenaries will move left and right to minimize the damage from the assault.
Your subsequent moves are as follows.
Immediately plug any holes that have been breached.
In this way, the main body of Hercule and the general leading the heavy cavalry ”Clibanarius” ...... will probably divide Galfis Galleanos.
And ......
The crossbow troops will pierce the enemy exhausted by the long assault, further suppress the assault, and then the long spear troops will completely catch them. . and then pin them down with light cavalry on both flanks to destroy them.
The mainstays of the Lemurian Empire are the heavy cavalry (Cribanarius) and longbow troops, both of which are difficult to replenish.
In addition, the ruling class of the Lemurian Empire consists of the Elves, the long-eared race.
Without them, it is easy to imagine that Hercule would not only be unable to continue the war, but would also be unable to manage his political affairs in the future.
”Kill the enemy's strengths and use your own strengths to target the enemy's weaknesses. This is the basis of war. ...... Well, that's all I can do. What do you say, Emperor Hercule?
