THE AUTHOR REINCARNATED?! [Vol 4] Chapter 4 – Military Exercise IV (1/2)
Fitz-Morris Fitzgerald, a knight also known as “F” rode up the hill on his horse
40 other Ihts rode after the Imperial Guard Order’s leader
“Don’t loosen the reins! We have to take the fort before our opponent no matter what!”
They intended to occupy the fort on top of the Alamos hill
Nals, the tactician, told them in a sharp voice that it’s absolutely necessary for the strategy to occupy the fort
As the biggest advantage of letting the cavalry act independently was their higher mobility F could understand that fact
“Leader, we’re close to the fort!”
A knight riding diagonally behind F raised a loud voice
It was the gigantic knight in his late 20s wielding a long Halberd who got defeated by Carlo in the Sword Fighting Competition’s semi-finals
He was the only Imperial Guard Captain appointed to the red ar F’s adjutant
“Alright, occupy the fort Shoot up the signal as soon as you’re done!”
The horseed inside and confirmed that the other party had yet to come occupy the fort
As per the rules as soon as one team was able to occupy the fort they had to inal in one’s team’s colour
On F’s order one of the knights shot up a red signal
“Phew, looks like the first mission was successful”
“Honestly, I’oodness that the other team hasn’t come yet Well, it’s natural as we spurted here on horses”
Together with his adjutant F looked down from the fort but couldn’t see the other team
Even though they should be slower because there were foot soldiers and archers mixed in their unit but it was rather weird that one couldn’t see them at all from this hill
“Still, for the tactician’s words to turn out to be true Even the fact that on’t be able to see the other army”
In the case of such a develope instructions from Nals
“Isn’t it fine? If you can’t see the other arnal then there’s no need to protect it afterwards”
“Why? We’ll lose if the fort gets taken”
“It’s fine The knight leader should always be ready to let the cavalry charge as soon as you receive a signal”
While recalling this exchange with Nals before their departure F ordered his adjutant
“Tell everyone to take a short break and to prepare to be able to leave here and charge at any time when ordered”
“Is that really fine? No one will be here then”
“Well, it’s fine, probably”
“I’ll obey the leader’s orders, though I don’t quite understand it”
(Honestly, I also want to knohether this will be fine)
That is what F unintentionally whispered in his heart
(PoV – Carlo)
“A red signal went up It seems like we succeeded”
