Chapter 15 (2/2)

It will result in us retreating towards the east while ht that way We will quickly enter a place where they will have to give up pursuing even if we can’t shake them off Namely, the de killed by nature or getting killed by people, however they naturally won’t track the path towards the village Also, the 200 riders of the detached force and the 100 riders set off to contact them will likely head there when push comes to shove… Kustaa didn’t harbour any suspicions

The movements of the dust clouds were even slower than anticipated If you judge it from the view that they probably came to chase us, they likely won’t foresee the direction we are heading towards Kustaa s out their course for soe issue that he wasn’t able to do that immediately Probably he won’t be able to make the necessary preparations for the detached force in secret anymore

“Did we only ith tactics… ? At least I won’t go to that extent” (Kustaa)

Heaving a sigh, Kustaa laughed at hiht air The last battle I fought under the co killed by the army of Eberia Empire It hasn’t been hard for me That situation was caused by the stupidity of the hero, but it triggered the accumulation of experience of my current self

Salo up for that idiot

It’s not the case that Kustaa, who certainly didn’t exceed leading a part of the cavalry unit, saw the complete picture at those days However, he also understood the situation Salo so a forced confusion, there was probably an eleamble If there had been time, there would would have beento win in a more reliable way as well…Kustaa believes that Salht

What would such Salmon think, if he saw the current h scornfully as usual No h I have to hold onto the i a desperate coward And I have to create situations, where I have to fight with all my power

Running Just running But before he noticed, there was so next to him

The nu this way is approxiards of being able to confires of ups and downs of the hills, huh? I don’t knoho, but they are probably going ahead as raid unit, he guesses Their pace is good, the position they’ve taken is good as well They are troublesome opponents

If I consider the future, we can’t keep running like this It won’t do if we don’t have a rest somewhere, but it won’t be possible to loose theh the other side will be able to launch a pincer attack alongside thethe over here

(… If that’s the case, all that’s left is to resolve myself) (Kustaa)

Throw thele attack and iain distance Once he has finished deciding this, there’s nothing but discovering an opportunity in the back Kustaa surveys the series of hills Ideally I want to hit the in from their flank However, it’s the saeous terrain quickly We cannot cut down on our speed either

That one’s no good, this one’s insufficient, the one over there won’t work as it is advantageous for the ene a reasonable distance, they repeatedly dash ahead in a tactical ga they are clashi+ng with each other

(Quite… capable…) (Kustaa)

The coun I haven’t encountered lately He doesn’t approach forcefully, however, having said that, he isn’t retreating with a weak attitude either Having no choice but shortening the distance stretching the string of tension thin, the tactical ga all the tricks each can e is also adroaned at the tiot their path of retreat cut off in reverse Those are flexible yet clever tactics Anyway, he’s a couess, Kustaa believes

“Haha” (Kustaa)

They joy of experiencing such delight left his lips Giving hand signs, he relays his intention to the riders in front He sensed a swelling presence of fighting spirit in his back It’s a pro enthusiasm

“… Alright, go!” (Kustaa)

The instant they entered a terrain filled with doards slopes, the 500 riders split right and left half each Kustaa leads the right side in order to get close to the ene the number of people on our side, they will push towards the left side in response However they won’t hit us Kustaa has separated the left side to the left in order to respond to their opponents

It was just right, it was a route describing an arc along a gentle hill The enemy forces are in pursuit of Kustaa They likely have perceived Kustaa increasing the speed slightly, but the merit of that conjecture will backfire

The 250 riders, who split to the left, are just now arriving at this hill Kustaa decelerates and disappears into a cloud of sand at the ti his distance with them Moreover, the flank of the ene that over his shoulders, Kustaa’s smile deepened

With violent roars the 250 riders began their attack The enemy forces seem to have bled heavily With their ranks in disorder, it results in their speed falling apart It’s a good chance We will probably settle it, if e deliver a blow by going around and cutting at their right side The plan is to aiood, if we don’t recover the distance we lost to the enemy’s main force

(Though he appears to be sorettable You havecavalry… I guess that’s the only difference that caused your defeat) (Kustaa)

I have a rough idea of the location of their co to aim there, Kustaa involuntarily screa like an ice spear If it was a genuine spear, he would have fallen Turning around towards his rear as far as the reins allowed, Kustaa felt du his eyes wide open

“Wh… it’s a lie…” (Kustaa)

There were people co with dreadful force at the back of Kustaa’s 250 riders Their nuclose

However, that’s not the proble like that

His whole body quivered with a numbness he knew very well It told Kustaa of the return of an intense “premonition” He looks atabout his coroup of men and horses, he was there

His blue eyes are pinning down on him

Conised that

Being delayed, currently one arroas lodged into the top of his left shoulder Next, in the top of his right shoulder as well

“What… did you see me after all, too?” (Kustaa)

Falling to the ground fro from the impact His shoulders were soaked acco pathetically twisted his feet, even that pain reverberated in his brain No defence or anything was left

There was a sound of the divination board in his knapsack cracking

It was a dry sound, but it was a sound comfortable to his ears
