36 The Trial (1/2)
”Will they come out?” Kinoya couldn't be careless. With his previous display, it won't be surprising, if the enemy sent some assassins. Though his [Extrasensory Vision] couldn't detect any ill intent, one could never be too careful.
”Don't worry about them. They won't move. Let talk about the formation. I heard it is you who devised it.”
'How could this man know about it?' He kept his expression under control, ”I did.”
”So why are you not in it? Are you afraid?” Listening to his words, Kinoya couldn't shake off the uneasiness. The man was pleased with the expression,”I saw you are quite heroic in the morning.”
”Hero or Villain, those things depend on one's perspective. Either way one couldn't say that I am a hero.” Kinoya looked into his eyes, ”I am suspended.”
”Which idiot suspend you? You should have been an asset to the army.”
”Emper…” *hic*
The end of his words was swallowed up in his hiccup. Never till now, he had felt such thick killing intent. His back got wet in just an instant, but it vanished even before a second could eclipse. What was surprising that the intent came from the person in front of him.
”Boy, you should not be so careless with the little mouth of your.” The man's eye flickered for a moment before he asked, ”Imperial edict?”
Under the stare of the man, Kinoya was still unable to control the body, all he could do was to nod.
The man didn't care about Kinoya, as he turned towards the battleground. ”Then what about the cavalry?”
Taking a look Kinoya couldn't help but curse under the breath, ”That idiot.”
”What? Was that not your plan?”
”That Riya…” Kinoya looked at the man before continuing, ”That general Riyasu is doing exactly what I had told him not to do.”
”Why? That is good. He is using the cavalry to assist him. That will relieve him some of the pressure.” Kinoya couldn't believe it was the same person, giving of a scholarly vibe, who was excluding such a strong intent a moment ago.
”Cavalry is not the problem. But the right wing is the problem.” The man took another look as Kinoya continued to explain, ”The right wing is close to the river, the ground there is wet and can't hold the charge of the cavalry. It will just hinder their movement.”
With his words, their action relayed, and soon the cavalry lost the momentum. They became the standing target for the archers. The ineffective leftover cavalry charge clashed against the charging cavalries of the enemy, further increasing the casualty.
”It's lucky that enemies didn't send much of the Cavalry.” The man breathed a sigh of relief.
”No, they had sent all of it.” Kinoya corrected. ”They were looking to defend against the siege, so they lacked Cavalry. That one thought is quite efficient, but”
”It is the Whitefreak?”
'He knew, even though the generals weren't aware of that person.' Kinoya couldn't help but take another look at the man. ”Yes,”
”Then, why did they came out?” The intimidation of that instance had long lost in his curiosity.
”One, who are driven by emotion, couldn't see one in front of him, even if the great general was here, he could do very little about it, much less any other.”
The man looked at Kinoya with a surprised look. ”It won't be a lie to say, that even myself was angry with your performance.”
Kinoya smiled, ”That was the intention all along. If it was not cruel enough, did you really thought that I would have able to force them out?”
