Chapter 113: A Renowned Steed (2)
Annihilation
As he watched the friendly cavalry being na bit his lips
“Will not even one e to return?”
‘We’ve lost a precious unit of horse out of line’
With a grier!”
“Yes, Marquis! Did you call for me?”
“Behead the ones who opened the fort’s doors without h on a pole for all to see!”
“Yes, Marquis”
“And inforhold is absolutely forbidden until I give the word! If a es this rule, his House shall be responsible even if he is killed in battle”
“Yes, I shall deliver your words at once”
The na’s spine-chilling orders
With that, Bologna clenched his teeth as he gazed beyond the fort’s walls,under his breath
“Four more days Just four more days and I will pay this back a hundred-fold”
“It is as if we are facing a turtle”
For four days, Lieutenant-General Bison attacked the enemy without rest
They did not only attack Fort Merrano, but also went back and forth to Fort Bolchano and ceaselessly harassed both A rain of arrows caardless of whether it was day or night As the walls of the strongholds were constructed to be rather low, the bolts of their long-range crossbows could sufficiently reach the soldiers stationed on the inside of the fort – all the whilea safe distance
Despite this unilateral onslaught, the ene past the one band of cavalry that had sprung out the gates on the first day
‘Strange At this point, aren’t they usually unable to hold and abandon the fort? Why are they being sitting ducks as we puh this was a one-sided battle, Bison was nevertheless instilled with an unidentifiable restlessness
“Our intelligence says Marquis Bologna is the one that is occupying Fortress Merrano, correct?”
“Yes, as far as I ae I know he is not this incompetent of a man”
Lieutenant-General Bison had beco while they had fought against each other on this frontier Though there were no specific achievements to speak of, he was nevertheless a capable ned the post of the Eastern Front by the Strabus Kingdo time
An eneed his capableness
So as the enee”
Seeing Bison’s restlessness, one of his command staff chimed in with his hypothesis
“Itassuna, but that upstart we call Milton Forrest”
“The bantling fronificant nation?”
“After all, he has joined this ith a sizable force, regardless of where he hails froe in the enemy’s approach could very well be due to a shi+ft in the eneical explanation for the peculiarity of the present situation
“Were we able to discern what that boy was doing?”
“As far as I a Fort Brunico with a force of 5,000 troops”
“And how is Fortress Brunico?”
“They are still reporting a 2”
“Hoh, so they do not require reinforcements?”
“Yes, they say that the enemy is unable to properly approach the walls”
Bison forreenhorn indeed”
While the Kobrook Republic’s crossboere powerful when utilized as part of a skireous when used in a defensive position Though the walls were deliberately designed to be low and thus had low defensive capabilities, it became a different story when their crossboere deployed on the ramparts
The specialized crossboere a fore battle, a force of 2000 crossbowmen could sufficiently repel an attacker five ti this fact would only lead to the needless he’in like that… as I thought, that Siegfried e”
At this rate, they would win the war on the Eastern Front Unlike Marquis Bologna, Milton Forrest was nothing ht them
Their victory was assured
As Bison’s restlessness disappeared after ascertaining this, onehim
“Lieutenant-General Bison The arrow reserves have dropped to less than one-tenth our original quantity”
“Already? I suppose it’s only expected… we’ve been piling on the volleys every day after all”
Having ceaselessly attacked the eneht for four days, it did h the arrow deposits quicker than anticipated
“Send a dispatch rider to the nearby Fortress Lientz immediately and request a resupply”
“Understood”
At thatstill as it watched him
‘What a fearless rat’
Bison ht
“He’s makin’ his move”
“In which direction, ht, understood”
At Bianca’s single utterance, the knights escorting her sentin a nal to commence their counterattack
“Is it happening at last?”
Marquis Bologna clenched his fist after receiving one of the eons
This was the moment he had waited and waited for, and it was finally here
“Open the gates! Send forth the men who are prepared!”
“Yes, at once!”
With that, Fort Merano’s doors swung open and the Strabus Kingdoed
“All units, charge!!”
“URAAAAH!!”
“Slay the wicked Republicans!”
The e towards the horse crossbowmen
“An attack now of all ti that made Lieutenant-General Bison narrow his eyes in suspicion; right when they had been intending to withdraw temporarily to resupply
Be that as it ?”
