“Indeed, that would be ideal I had not quite thought that far yet”
Jeroht’s code and pursued the upholding of righteousness - but nonetheless, he hailed fro noble household As such, there were tis from the perspective of ordinary folk
In this instance, he was incensed that the coer was more directed at the lowliness of Viscount Har for the unfair plight being forced on the co, Jeroree with Milton i Milton be considerate of the weak, no matter the situation, made him one step closer to the ideal lord in Jerooes for the rest ofchoice after all…’
Jerome lowered his head to Milton in respect
Meanwhile, Viscount Har towards the Forrest territory with his arster… I bet he won’t seeon his door with my soldiers’
He believed his surprise attack was an exquisite plan
In actuality, it wasthe most basic of rules in war: to declare it in the first place But sleazy men such as Viscount Haric In his mind, he did not consider for even a second that his “surprise attack” was a cowardly ht of a future where he blitzed Forrest county and took Milton’s head, reaping the sweet rewards
In that moment…
“My Lord! The scouts have found the ene ahead of us”
“What did you say? The enemy’s at the front?
“Yes, hts fro 50 troops”
“50? Hahahahaha… I knoe’re all rural counties here, but 50?”
Viscount Harhtly nervous when he first heard the news that the eneher now that he knew the enemy was small in number
“Get rid of theht unit?”
“No, that’s a waste Instead, put the conscripted soldiers up front and order a line of our real troops behind thee”
Despite the fact that the enemy’s numbers were small, Viscount Harhts’ strength by sending his conscripts first
The conventional soldiers lined up behind them as ordered and aimed their spears towards thee the ives his cole piece of ar in their hands but old, worn-out spears It ithout saying that they did not want to fight
But there was not much they could do except follow orders while the soldiers behind the, Viscount Harmon’s battle-ready army encountered the enemy, led by none other than Rick and Tommy
“Halt! Who are you to dare try to invade our county? Are you not aware that these are the lands of Viscount Forrest?!”
The one yelling froht of the Forrest Viscounty Recognizing who it was, one of Viscount Harave hiht of the Forrest territory The one beside hihts of his”
“Hhts, Viscount Harmon came forward himself and bellowed back to them
“I am Viscount Rayder Harmon Henceforth, I have come to requisition the Forrest county If you surrender peacefully, I will usher you all under my co the nified air he possibly could Since the difference in nu, he anticipated that if he personallyoffer, the enemies would follow suit and surrender
However…
“You senile old lunatic! You dare to propose that we surrender after sneaking in without so much as a war declaration, like the bunch of rats you are? Would rats?”
What came back were Rick’s curses and provocation
“Ex… excusea double-take on what he just heard, Rick provoked him once more
“Are you now deaf as well as senile? Rather than serving a coward like you whose X doesn’t even stand up straight, I would sooner pledge myself to a donkey in heat!”
“Puhahahaha…”
“Well said, sir knight”
An uproar of laughter burst fro of curses
And having been insulted like this for the first tiht red and screahter you all! ATTACK!!”
At his roar began the sta, Rick bared his teeth in a sneer and muttered under his breath
“Coainst each and every one of… ow! What was that for?”
From beside Rick, Tommy pulled Rick’s head by the ear and snapped at hiotten our plan? What e do if we fight here and now?”
“…Oh!” Rick’s exclay in the heat of the h and ordered the troops
“The enereater than we anticipated All troops, retreat and regroup with the rear detachment!”
“Yes sir!”
On his co without objection Watching the ene only served to pique Viscount Harmon’s restlessness even further
“Chase them! Don’t let the too quickly The conscripts cannotspeed”
Hearing the counsel of one of his knights, Viscount Harrinded his teeth and demanded a solution
“Then we can leave those ones behind and track them with our main forces, can we not?!”
“That would break our formations I believe it would be better if we slowly… AH!”
Crack!
“Stupid fool!”
Viscount Har at hie
“The enemy only numbers 50, correct? Who cares about the forh!”
“That may be so, but with all due respect the stability of our battle for to standard proce-”
“You fool! Do you still not understand? Did you not hear the ene? If we lose the us later! Is this the ti standard procedure?!”
Viscount Hare
In truth, it was not iht’s advice was correct or not
At this point in time, as important to Viscount Harmon hether or not his subordinate would do as he was told Coerous a stubborn commander could be in the elevated circule-s to do exactly as he said
“Hurry and give chase Hurry!”
With not rilling, thethe eneht to themselves, ‘this can’t end well’; but they could not appeal to Viscount Har the head of the bastard named Rick
