Vol Chapter 43 (2/2)

This ismy army Since I’m their leader, I can’t allow myself to stiffen up and be overcome with tension I should be thankful to Gunther for overstepping the boundaries between us with his daring words It was good for relieving the tension, and takinginto battle

And so I just kept watching Gunther’s back as he lefttroops He’s really soo easy on me at all…… Indeed, for the domain lord who’s just a child to not flinch on the battlefield, it’s probably so necessary

In the meantime, I heard a voice order “Forfena ere all equipped for battle organized the sounds

“Are all preparations ready?”

Vollanced around at everyone as he raised his voice Even though his voice wasn’t overly loud, it carried well, just like his father Earl Einsbark’s voice

All the soldiers and knights saluted him

He briefly informed the troops what I already knew, that the Densel arht upon our doorstep, and to prepare for battle with the goal of protecting the shi+ru tribe When the soldiers responded affirraf stepped forward

“The infantry and cavalry are to create a camp outside the castle walls The center formation shall consist of the 1st and 4th Cavalry Platoons, as well as Igor’s squad, the right wing shall be the 2nd Cavalry Platoon and the rescue squad, while the left wing shall be the Franks squad and the Kaldia domain army All archers shall e of the fort’s defense and protection The 3rd Cavalry Platoon is acting as a detached force and has already moved out”

The 3rd Cavalry Platoon that he just uide the shi+ru tribe Not counting the archers and the single squad we’re leaving behind to defend the fort, our battle strength is approximately 450 troops While it’s quite a difference to overcome compared to the enemy’s 700 troops, it’s not so unfavorable that ouldn’t be able to beat the Densel army

“Listen up, our primary objective is the protection of the shi+ru tribe, not the eradication or retreat of the Densel army”

The overall plan was to first march the army close to the Densel army’s ca of their advancing army If battle is unavoidable, the prie weapons

The 3rd Cavalry Platoon is to be responsible forup with the shi+ru tribe, and the Kaldia aruard the shi+ru tribe once that happens, and the knights and soldiers are to retreat and battle defensively when contact is made

“A strategy based on retreating may be difficult to accept, but based on the situation I believe it’s not unreasonable Don’t turn your backs on the enemy, and make absolutely certain to not break for”

As the strategist Wiegraf personally infory, I felt like I could feel all the soldiers holding their breaths

– Come to think of it, Densel troops haven’t been so close to Fort Jugfena since the battle that occurred here seventeen years ago Although I had learned that piece of military history fro country’s politics and aggressive stance against us into me, there had always been a part of me inside that had put it away in a corner of my fena’s soldiers are well trained, and probably most of them are veterans that have experienced actual combat

– But as for the Kaldia do sense of anxiety More than half of my troops have never experienced actual battle before
