51 Episode 50 Battle.txt (1/2)

There's a band of humans walking through the Great Forest of Furazes.

They're the soldiers of the Countess of Astraeus.

Among them, I can see Lemest.

He wasn't supposed to go to battle, but because his men are unreliable, he's leading the army this time.

The Count family of Astraeus is a family with many martial artists by nature, and those who succeed the family are required to have a certain degree of valor and the ability to command an army.

Lemest is said to be one of the most talented of all the heads of the family, and none is stronger than him in the Astraeus family.

However, my subordinates tried to stop Lemest's departure, but were unable to do so.

''But that's surprising. That Riza would follow orders so easily.

Lemest, walking at the front, muttered to himself.

Berd is walking beside him.

Yes, ...... that was a bit surprising. Well, I guess he had a lot on his mind in his cell.

That's what Berd concluded.

After that, when Riza received orders, she responded.

And I got her to Bellesdral.

Here's what we did.

First, I'll get her to the Bellesdral. We'll tell her that Lemest has had enough and pretend he's turned her.

Then have him tell us that he's building up his army and making plans to attack us. Then you will lure the enemy by telling him the direction of the attack.

Once the enemy is lured, he will attack the city from a completely different direction than the one you gave him.

When you do this, have Riza pretend to be injured and open the gate for the rest of the town.

Attack the town while the main force of the enemy is not there, and if there is a vellum, capture it.

If not, take the people of the town as hostages and make them follow you.

This is the plan.

A few days ago, our scouts reported that a large number of demons have left the city and are marching in the direction we recommended.

The demon city gates are in sight.

Lemest is convinced that the mission is a success, and he has a slight smirk on his face.

I'll go to the gate.

Then he sees Riza on the wall.

”Oh, Riza!　Well done!　Then open the gate!

Lemest is like that. But Riza is silent for a moment.

”What's the matter!　Now open it up!

Lemest is getting a little annoyed because he can't open it, and his tone is rough.

Then Riza holds up her right hand in silence.

Is that a signal to open it?　Lemest, he thought.

But the next thing he knew.

A large number of goblins and Arraune and his friends appeared from the walls and unleashed their magic all at once.

''What?!''

Fire, ice and other magics are unleashed at once, throwing the army into chaos.

''Calm down!　Don't panic!

In an effort to rebuild, Lemest scolded his men, but they wouldn't budge.

Move!　We must retreat from this place!

Once we were forced to retreat.
