Chapter 11: The Republic's Ploy (2)
It ithout saying that the one leading the attack on top of the Grey Mountains was Milton His subordinates, Jerome, Rick, and Tommy were also there next to him
“Fortunately, we oodness”
“We were fortunate to get immediate support”
Milton moved as soon as he heard the enemy had entered the valley of the wind He took just three others with him to the Valley of the Winds — Jerome, Rick, and Tommy These four were the only ones to move out to keep the enemy unaware
If a whole squad moved out, the enemy was likely to catch on and capture them This was done so secretively that someone who didn’t know of the circumstances would surely think of them to be deserters However, there was a problem here
“My Lord, even with Sir Jerome, there’s no way just us four can hold off the ene their trek
The Valley of the Winds was an easy location to defend, but one still needed troops toto hold off 2,000 enemy soldiers? It would be impossible unless one of those four men was at the Master rank
Milton replied to the worried Toht this minute for security reasons, but there’s a way For now, it’s iet to the Valley of the Winds as soon as possible”
Jerohts nodded their heads
‘If My Lord says so then…’
‘The Viscount must have a plan’
The Milton Forrest they had seen so far was not a , he seemed to think too much almost to a fault If a person like Milton moved with conviction, then there really roup was able to travel quickly to reach the Valley of the Winds There, they found out what Milton had been planning
“Are you Sir Forrest?”
“Yes What is your name and affiliation?”
“I’m Terry, with the security forces of Pratinos My 500 subordinates and I will now be under your co by behind the man who spoke respectfully
The entire security force of Pratinos hadthrough the Valley of the Winds
However, taking troops out of the fort was dangerous because it was likely to be noticed by the enemy Therefore, Milton told Nelson that they needed to take the troops out of the targeted city of Pratinos to respond to the eneestion to resolve the situation He ie to ask for help from the mayor of Pratinos with an explanation of the current situation
Nelson ht only have been a 1000- at the Western Front for decades This was how Nelson had a straight line of communication with the mayor of the major commerce city Pratinos
The e from Nelson From what he knew of Nelson Cardinal, the latter wasn’t the type to spout nonsense If he said there was a crisis, then there really was a crisis
The mayor immediately mobilized the entire security force of the city There weren’t any uards left to maintain the city’s security Thethat even if they were left in Pratinos, they wouldn’t be able to defend the city walls This effectively reduced the defensive strength of Pratinos to zero
‘Good We should be able to do it with thisat the troops It was only 500 people, but they were all strong youngthey came from the rich city of Pratinos
“I thank you all for your cooperation”
“It is to protect our home Please coood attitude I want to get started right away First…”
Milton had the troops create an obstacle in the Valley of the Winds The obstacle wasn’t so they could cli to create an obstacle, wouldn’t it be better to h so they can’t cli the construction, but Milton shook his head as he replied, “No Create it at a height the eneood in mountain warfare, an obstacle of twothey can easily climb over
“We won’t be able to stop the eneht”
“…huh?”
“My goal isn’t to stop the enemy here It’s to eliminate them here," Milton remarked
Rick expressed his confusion with a dumbfounded look
That hen his friend, Tommy, shouted at him
“You won’t come up with an ansith that du”
“Who are you calling dumb?!”
Rick shouted back loudly, but quickly coet the job completed Rick realized later why Milton had ordered the obstacle to be constructed so short
“Retreat! Fall back!”
“Hurry and ret… Kuuuhhhk!”
The ene like rain from the middle and ordered a retreat
However, the enemy couldn’t properly retreat because of the obstacle they had decided to ignore and cli they could easily clinore in battle, especially not when arroere raining all around them
“dauys in the front doing!”
“You fuckers, stop wasting time and… Kuuuuhhhk!”
In a situation where the 2,000 soldiers of the Hildess Republic could neither advance nor retreat, they were constantly dying one by one
“The Lord’s head is certainly better than mine after all,” Rick mumbled to himself
Tommy then retorted, “Did you just realize that?”
“No, I knew that already, but… don’t you think our Lord is incredible?”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
Their hands continued to fire arrow after arrow, but they casually maintained their conversation
They were one-sidedly attacking the enemy since the enemy’s attack couldn’t reach the top of the cliff So, there was plenty of rooue even in theis, even if you studied at the academy in the capital, you wouldn’t nory like this Right?”
