Chapter 114: A Renowned Steed (3) (2/2)
“UOOOOOOOOOH!!”
“Don’t leave a single one alive!”
Thuh the rear, acco flesh
“ARGH!”
“Some-someone… stop- KUH!”
“Ahhhhh!”
It was a one-sided affair, a grisly sight as Milton and his cavalry collided into the enemy ere unable to form an adequate response
By the nature of theirthe crossbow, the Kobrook Republic’s cavalry eak at h they carried a sword as a sidearht as they prioritized speed They were troops that were vulnerable in hand-to-hand co as the distance was closed
But even when taking this into account, the unfolding scene was far outside conventional logic Like a sandcastle being swept away by the tide, the enely
Even amid this, the one who stood out the most was Milton and his steed, Leonard
Leonard did not care for the enemy’s horses and recklessly crashed into them at full force With the fearsome power that he boasted, the Silfeed horses were bloay after but a single collision, their legs and necks er that he posed, there were defiant ones that, reared and kicked his – and Leonard just took the full brunt of it
Krack!
In fact, it was the Silfeeds’ legs that were broken The difference in their physique was simply that colossal
While Leonard’s brutal assault at the very forefront was a sight to behold, the other Lester horses also showed their considerable stopping power The ‘Destroy’ breed, the fruits of Bianca’s labor, was crushi+ng the Silfeeds – one of the continent’s three renowned breeds – as if they were paper
After Milton and his cavalry had engaged in combat, they had decimated half the enemy in the blink of an eye
“Un… unbelievable This is an absolute nightmare”
Lieutenant-General Bison shuddered as he witnessed hisunilaterally destroyed
He had believed that they were the world’s fastest cavalry, and he had never thought that there would coht onto in a chase and hunted down
It was then when Milton met eyes with Bison
Milton roared at hiht you be Bison of the Kobrook Republic? I adom! Let us duel to decide the victor”
Milton usually did not favor duels of honor But if he was presented with an opponent that he could certainly win against, no other method proved as convenient
‘Now then, accept it Who knows, there could be a turnaround if you beat me in a battle that’s already lost’
Milton expected his enemy to accede
However…
“Lieutenant-General, please seek refuge!”
“You must save yourself, sir! Please, retreat to the rear so wefor Bison’s consent, his men stood in Milton’s way
“Buzz off!”
Milton boldly charged into the Republican soldiers who blocked his path
“bastard! Die- UGH!”
“ARGH!”
Milton’saura as he rode atop Leonard
The Kobrook Republic’s mounted crossbowmen, who focused on their horsemanshi+p and collective tactics than their individual strength, did not have a single man who could stop Milton
“Kuh…”
Bison clenched his teeth as part of hie he felt reached the very tip of the hairs on his head, he was not a man as so foolish as to be blind to the truth
Could he beat Milton even if he were to dash in right this moment?
It was impossible
Then what could Bison do?
‘I cannot let the death of ’s death’
Bison shouted towards his subordinates, who foolhardily ireat Republic!”
His subordinates responded in kind
“For the paradise of someday!”
Tears streaked down Bison’s face as he shouted
“I shall never forget your deaths!”
With that, he turned his horse around and began etaway Milton roared after him
“shi+t, move it you fanatic freaks!”
Their victory was certain, but it would be a considerable pain in the neck if they missed the enemy commander Milton spurred Leonard forth to pursue Lieutenant-General Bison
Yet…
“Die, you dog of the !!”
“Hurrah for the Republic!!”
Bison’s subordinates coarded their own bodies as they threw themselves at Milton to slow him down There were those that approached near and juether, and there were yet others who targeted him hat little arrows they had left
“I said move, you bastards!!”
The eneer Milton’s life
However, for the price of their lives, they succeeded in prolonging that of their co victory, my lord”
Viscount Sabian approached Milton with this praise after the battle drew to a close
“An outstanding victory, yeah right… it leaves a sour taste in my mouth for the”
Seeing Milton’s disappointment, Viscount Sabian clarified with him
“Are you disappointed that we did not take the head of Lieutenant-General Bison?”
“Frankly, I’d be lying if I said I was not”
“Hoh, please do not pay it heed In the grand scheo an officer of such a position should not terribly endanger us”
From Sabian’s perspective, Lieutenant-General Bison was an opponent that he could toy around with anyti as he put his mind to it It would not create a proble opponent to escape with his life
“Theuished a 10,000-strong force of the enemy elite, it is time for us to make our next move”
“And what may that be?”
At Milton’s query, Viscount Sabian for with confidence
“It is an all-out attack”
