Chapter 792

「And so the strategy was called the Hikisanbou」

「Hikisanbou?」

「First, divide your army into 3, then put 2 of them on standby After the main army made contact with your enemy, pretend to turn back and invite them to chase you

What’s next? The eneht in the ht, of course, put the vertically during the chase, it’s possible for the sh they are outnuin

Pull back on purpose to bait the eneht, then co eney is called Hikisanbou」

「So it’s similar like Tsurino Fuse?」(TL: 釣り野伏せ Tsurino Fuse is the sa states period There’s no English equivalent for this)

「Surfing no-bus-say? Ah, so there’s similar tactic back in your previous world? So there are people who think alike even when separated in different worlds, I see

It was quite a dray, often cited in war histories and tales But to be honest, it’s not a really good strategy

First of all, you need to hold a special terrain that can hide your soldiers without your ene The forests in the valley of mountains is ideal for this purposes However, you must remember that there are limits to the number of soldiers that you can hide in these locations

Next, is the th It’s not funny if you were defeated because yourthe first contact with the ene chased

Also, the flanking arht in a skirht not be able to use bows or ht since there’s a chance for friendly fire And fro army who hide for a your vision and ti And that doesn’t include the weather

There’s always a chance for a false signal After all, it’s acting A cal will cruy If I were the enemy, I will pretend to chase you from behind then strike any of the 2 a ones In short, crushi+ng every one of those three groups

Furthermore, if you know this kind of tactics beforehand, you can deal with it easily It’s one of the great advantages if you learn the arts of war It’s dangerous to be too focused to your own strategy It’s often said that the main task of the commander is to find the countery」

「Back in“The crafty schemer drowned in his own scheme”」

「That’s a wise saying, isn’t it?」

Due to Sonorat’s southern feudal lord alliance’s strategy, the battlefield was engulfed in turbulence

Although their position was overwhelusson still tried to rally his soldiers together He is really an exceptional commander when he doesn’t let his head boil

Originally, the Southern feudal lords alliance had fewer nudom’s army They even split their already sh they were trapped, the Santadoh they were so brave, they were still in a huge pinch and all they could do was endure it

As the result, the ridge turned into a battlefield where the soldiers intertwined, creating a havoc

Meanwhile, the scout group of 40swept away by a muddy stream Besides, the main force itself were in a state of mass confusion Should we join? Should we escape?

「Mooou~! This is what I told you before!」

The adventurer snarled

Indeed, the lady adventurer had insisted that it was a trap all along

I was in the saeneral cousson

「There’s nothing we can do about it! What do you want me to do!?

We are knights, we have no choice but to do as we ordered!」

「That doesn’t mean that you have to die when you were told so, this rock head!

You looked really young but your head is elder-elf class! Of course, in a bad way!」

「what! Do you, wandering adventurers, always says

says so as freely as this!?

Furthermore, there’s no way a mere adventurer like you can meet an Elven Elder!」

「S-so rude! Even though I look like this, I’m still an A ranked adventurer!

By the way, I stillleft and right doing other’s bidding!」

「Fu! You adventurers can act all high and o back and report to your guild that you just insulted the nobles of Santadom!」

「Please, both of you If you keep quarreling… ill be found out by the enemies」

We ran the pathless road while arguing

The scout party of 40 uard of the ht, in order to link up we ran as fast as we could

Fortunately, there are two people here ere faraphy

We e where we could see the battlefield clearly

The ridge was on the opposite direction froreat location to penetrate the enemy ranks In the small distance between us and the main battle, we couldn’t see any enemy’s soldier From this point, we could see the hastily made fort and every movement the enemy made

When I ordered a rest, the knights froround in exhaustion

「……hey, so what do we do?」

The cheeky adventurer glared at me for answer

To not be exhausted after running in that distance, she was truly an rank adventurer

Popurus fainted halfway and was carried by one of my subordinates

I ignored the adventurer’s question and recount our forces

Out of 40 scouts we had since the beginning, ere down to 20

They were not killed, but they fell behind and got separated

I watched the knights, and ignoring the adventurer’s question

「Hey you… Do you often called the frozen ice noble due to your attitude?」

「I…… care not about those things」

The truth is, I was often invited into high-class gatherings, but ever since I lost my wife, I refused all of them

No, even if atherings Especially since it is filled with half-elves hating nobles

「That cold attitude is so~ a! Of course, the ladies would flock around the cool ikemen like you」

She said sarcastically

「You’re noisy You would look prettier if you kept your mouth shut I wonder why you adventurers are so cocky and spoiled」

「Araa… I’m honored to receive such compliment from you… Not!

Do you always putting people off like this?」

「I don’t know even if you asked ”, won’t you find it hard to find a man?」

「I don’t reallyme Aren’t you the same?」

「Me? ………well, you are right Especially after losing her…」

「Her……?」

The adventurer

「Hey, Ice prince」

「I know, Fla moron」

Before I could warn the surrounding knights, several soldiers appeared fro Sonorat’s uniforms

One of hts yelled in panic

「Kuh!? Enemy! Get in position!!」

The enemy soldiers drew their weapons and attacked us

Our soldiers morale were at rock bottom
