Chapter 60: The Emergence of a Hero (2) (2/2)
“Uoooooooh!!”
Behind Trike followed a unit of horsemen However, these were no ordinary cavalry
Dudududududu…
The sound of tu wheels revealed the identity of this unit: it was a chariot[1] unit, a rare sight in this world Chariots had always been a peculiar archetype They were faster than infantry but slower than cavalry; and while their destructive power in charges was soe directions easily and were therefore unable to react flexibly to situational changes
But Milton had his own reasons for recoht, a chariot unit has appeared in the distance”
“A what unit?”
The knight was slightly taken aback by this unusual news – but sure enough, he could see a chariot unit where the soldier was pointing towards
“damn, chariots? There’s no end to the anachronisms of these Southern hillbillies”
He immediately issued orders to his troops
“Chariots have entered the battle Pikemen, have your pikes at the ready”
The infantry used long spears to ie of mounted troops No units capitalized on this interaction as much as pikemen When they raised their pikes in the direction of the cavalry that was closing in, the dae would be reflected to the cavalry as e
“On the ready!”
The knight kept his pike for the perfect moment to raise the pikes
Yet…
“What’s this? Why are they not co in their direction, but peculiarly circuht could not initially understand what they were trying to achieve, but it was soon made clear to him
“Fire!!”
At Trike’s comh into the sky
Shuk shuk shuk! Shuk shuk!
“AARGH!! My eye!!”
“UGH!”
This particular chariot unit was notboho fired volley after volley fro down on the infantry, who had been anticipating a charge with the pikemen at the forefront, was the very definition of a catastrophe
“shi+ELDS!! Raise the shi+elds!!”
Suffering ht hastily commanded his troops to raise their shi+elds – but his men had already fallen into such a panic that their commander’s voice did not reach them
And…
“You fools! Raise your shi+elds and protect your hea- kuh!”
Soon enough, the knight as roaring commands was impaled in the neck by a well-aimed arrow And it did not end there
“Crrrrrr…”
Another choked on his own blood
“URGH!”
The knights ere urging on their troops as the arrows pouring upon thehts were ed into ene was also designed to best protect the felled at thisvital points where there reaps in the platethat all these knights were Trike’s works of art
Having elihts, Trike commented as he drew his bow once more
“This is comfy, that’s for sure Is this what the lord meant when he said to hide trees in a forest?”
Trike had always thought that his role on the battlefield was that of a sniper In this day and age where the concept of sniping itself did not exist, he still understood that his role was to fire singular arrows that would make the enemy’s nucleus fall apart He knew that if he did so, he could e impact on the outlook of a battle with even one arrow
Milton arranged for a type of unit that would aid him in this role Whilst the other archers on the chariots were ordered to fire at the enest them and eliminate the enemy commanders When Trike first heard this proposal from Milton, he had his doubts whether it would pan out as intended However, he found it al how easy this was now that they were in action With his arrow hts could not at all discern that they were being aimed at and block appropriately Normally for every three arrows he fired, one of theood sense, but now…
All six arrows found their hts
“Now, this is what I call one shot, one kill”
Trike’s lips crept into a smile as he scanned the enehts that were co the troops in his field of vision In essence, the ene more than common soldiers with no commanders, broken with fear and fallen into a panic from the arrow volleys
“Is this where nal”
“Yes, sir!”
The soldier next to Trike whipped out a whistle and blew it three long tinal…
“Rick, Tommy, do not fall behind”
“Yes,knights and soldiers
Milton joined the fray, personally leading his troops into an eneanized mess due to Trike and his unit of chariot archers
“Argh!”
“Stop… So sniped all the onsite commanders, the soldiers could not muster up an adequate response The ene rather than facing theh from the forefront as he cut the enemy’s formation into half
“Follow Count Forrest!”
“Let us drive out the treasonous rebels!”
“Uoooooooooh!”
The troops’ eously playing an active part on the frontlines This morale was soon converted into their own valor, and they bravely fought as they displayed strength beyond their usual capabilities The rebel troops were overwhelhting all over the place from the inside of the surround forhts, we shall turn our attention to the right”
As if answering Milton’s call, Jero in Milton’s direction at once
With their coned with this part of the surround formation could not possibly withstand an attack from two sides
“Aaaaaaaaah!!”
“Coive us direc- GAH!”
Ultiht side of the rebel troops that the Second Prince was acco collapsed
In essence, the rebel detachth had been halved
