Chapter 177: A Witch’s Forest (2)
While Jake and Marquis Burkel were fighting against each other, Marquis Hailey Maroon was facing an enemy on the other side However, her eneht between Jake and Marquis Burkel was one in which the elites of both arer and superior But, unlike Jake, her enemy didn’t attack her as confidently or as directly as he had Marquis Hailey Maroon was facing a coe
“Just what… the hell is going on?”
It wasn’t unreasonable for Marquis Maroon to be frowning In front of her was the enemy There definitely was an enemy in front of her but… She couldn’t attack the enemy easily Why? Because she couldn’t tell howbetween her 20,000 troops and the enemy’s troops It was so thick that she couldn’t even see 10 meters ahead of her, there was no way she could properly determine how liotten, she realized that the size of the enemy’s forces seeht lose control of hercleared She had thought she’d only have to wait half a day atdidn’t disappear even after three days Instead, it became thicker Now, her soldiers were afraid and nervous because of the unnatural pheno realized that it would be difficult to control her arer, Marquis Maroon decided to h it deviated froht up in the unnatural pheno forward Infantry in the front, hts, you’ll be with me in the rear”
On her order, 20,000 soldiers moved in unison
“All forces, slowly advance forward!”
At the commander’s order, 20,000 soldiers advanced slowly Not only were the soldiers in perfect rows and columns, but the infantry’s footsteps were in perfect unison that it sounded like the drum beats
‘…there’s no reaction’
From the rear, Marquis Maroon frowned as she looked for the ene, but now that she was etting shorter, she began to feel soun totoo? But the enehtest of movements It was like…
“Surely not?”
“What’s wrong, Marquis?”
Her aide asked her a question, but instead of answering, she immediately called out a command
“All forces, stop! Archers, nock your bows!”
Her soldiers once again moved in unison at her command And then…
“Row 1, Fire!”
As soon as she commanded, arrows flew into the sky Perhaps the archers weren’t able to be accurate because of the fog but because of the close distance, the arrows still reached the sky over the enemies’ heads, however…
“damn…”
Marquis Maroon frowned as she watched that The knight guarding her by her side questioned her when she saw Marquis Maroon frowning
“Is there a problem, Marquis?”
“We were tricked”
Marquis Maroon prodded her horse forward At her unexpected behavior, her escort knights followed her forward and finally saw the situation
“This is…?”
“da like this?”
The courageous Silver Wolf Knights couldn’t contain their anger What they had judged to be the enemy for the past three days were fakes, they were just scarecrows holding flags Marquis Maroon had thought the scarecroere the ene to disappear for the past three days Whatthat they found
-I welcoether
While they didn’t knohat itthes…”
“How could they be so cowardly?”
“Marquis, please give us the order We will slaughter those who have scorned you”
The Silver Wolf Knights were furious All of them were devoted followers of Marquis Hailey Maroon They were all woh she was a fehts with the goal of becost them, there was even a woman who had tossed aside her fa That’s how loyal they were to Marquis Hailey Maroon When they learned that their idol had been insulted, they couldn’t contain their anger
However, unlike the enraged women, Marquis Maroon felt alarmed
‘It would have taken several days to make this many scarecrows Then does thatwould appear and prepared for this in advance?’
This tactic could only work if the ene would appear on their path It was an enemy who could predict and manipulate nature When she realized that, Marquis Maroon realized that the enemy couldn’t be underestimated but she didn’t let those words leave her hts
“Go and get the troops in order We will start advancing again”
“Yes, Marquis”
Knowing that her troops would lose morale if she looked weak, she kept it to herself, but she also kept in mind that the enemy wouldn’t be easy
“Whooo… how cute”
While Marquis Maroon’s arh location The thick fog didn’t block her vision and the distance wasn’t a hindrance She was able to watch all of Marquis Maroon’s ht next to the Marquis While watching, she had a faint smile that seemed to embody the playfulness of a child
Like Bianca, she had red hair and golden yellow eyes with the safried’s hidden underlings, her naainst Marquis Burkel, then she was the card sent out to deal with Marquis Maroon In fact, even if they were both trump cards, Jake and Eliza were very different
Jake was someone ould eventually be revealed to the rest of the world in order to show off his strength But Eliza, her very existence was iicians would renounce and declare as taboo; she didn’t fried’s support, she had created the elixir that the Ghost er that if her existence becaht be connected to heresy Therefore, unlike Jake, Eliza was sofried had to hide forever
So, the fact that he had sent her out to fight hly evaluated the Eth While he was confident in his own brilliance, that didn’t ht the Empire was an easy opponent Instead, he saw theht, that hy he was using Eliza, even though it was risky for hih the E as he sent Eliza, he could suppress them That’s how much he believed in Eliza’s ability What exactly caused hiies was just a bit better than a beginner’s Her knowledge didn’t co it either, it cafried’s shoulder
If you consider that, it was unreasonable to expect her to lead a group to deal with the troops led by Marquis Maroon, an Imperial Master Even worse, 80 percent of her troops were conscripted men Her situation was very different from Jake’s, his troops had consisted of the best of the best But, the reason Siegfried trusted her and gave her this assigny, he believed in her ability
She had the rare ability to use ic that the enemy didn’t know, and the craftiness to manipulate people like they were in the pal her head-on, he would never want her as an enen
