Vol 14 Chapter 268 (1/2)
Scant Difference
Split into three forces of five hundred
By the actions of Aria, Miranda and Baldoir, the Count whose vassals were being attacked made his move Unable to step down before ato action However, the nuroup into had decreased to four thousand
Their drop in number was due to the squadrons who failed to return froely chipped them away
Both sides held camps on small knolls, and as they faced one another, a field battle was about to begin However, once our three forceswith a force of ht thousand troops, and thought
“We’re close to twice their nuh casualty count”
With the borrowed soldiers, if possible, I didn’t want to injure them too much I could tell the eneinations
If I closed h the Fifth’s… Dimension… the battlefield was displayed in my head as a three dimensional terrain map, while allies and enemies were identified with the Sixth’s… Search I really think if you use the Fifth’s and Sixth’s Skills together, it enters the realht unfair
But if you didn’t put those skills to effective use, there wasn’t any
Sitting on Porter’s roof, as I thought over what to do next, the Seventh gave some advice
『Lyle, look closely at the enemy’s formation Take inwith Mana consu you should know』
The first I’d angered him in a while
“… You’re right Then Real Spec it is”
The Sixth’s Third Stage Skill… Real Spec… let side intensely increasing the info co intothe flow to Monica, she processed it, and sent it back in a way easier for me to understand
“Basically, they have a vassaled ar both flanks of their athered in the center”
The Third read their movements from within the Jewel
『Oh, if they’re gathering like that… it’s true that inand equip to go straight for Lyle’s head』
Our saving grace was that our foe barely had any of our information If anted to, we could provoke the enemies out to the center, surround them, and take them down
The Fifth gave a serious voice
『Lyle, call back Baldoir’s unit to the center Concentrate cavalry on both sides Station Aria and Miranda at the flanks Noveh, have them clash』
I abided his word to give orders
“Novem”
“Yes?”
Novem nearby approached me And once I informed her of the Fifth’s directions, she headed towards the runners
Looking over that, the Third spoke in an intrigued voice
『Come to think of it, it’s Lyle’s first time on a battlefield of this scale, isn’t it?』
Up to now, I had fought in Zayin and Lorphys, but it seems the ancestors weren’t satisfied with that
When I gripped the Jewel, and Third laughed
『Then you’ve got to watch properly What happens in the case that your foe possesses a level of coicians as well… it’ll become flashy』
Listening to the Third’s words, I faced forwards

… When the Countelites- his vassals and soldiers- hardened their formation
For better or worse, it was a military house, The Count at the head of it looked at the army before him
“So ere lacking in information To think South Beim had so many soldiers…”
To his side was a retainer knight he trusted Si a horse, his hand held an axe… a battle axe
“Count just by the nu at eneh the center will be most difficult In this battle, why not look up the option of retreat?”
The Count snorted, and fastened down his helmet’s mask Full plate armor, his horse wore metal protectors as well, and he was truly fully arh his daily training, he was easily able to hold its ainst his shoulder
“If I did such a thing, it would tarnish my family’s name…if that’s all that would happen then so be it, but a majority of my vassals have been crushed If we run just like that, even if I can return to the territory, the problems will remain What vassal would follow such an unreliable lord? If it goes poorly, then they will change sides to the lords we skirmish with ”
If only his name was on the line, he would have retreated But the merits that would come from that wounded na able to avenge his vassals would ement of his territory difficult
“… I need the fact we did go and fight Once we clash once, and the eneht injury, escape would be most favorable”
On the Count’s tall order, the knight also fastened down his mask and answered
“You ask for too much Just how much casualty would that afford us?”
The Count, in a small voice
“If we run ae’ll face even greater casualty Breach the center, and once that’s over, gather up and pull out! That I moved is the important part Please understand”
…
“And also”
“Yes?”
“Even if he was driven out, he’s ahim?”
After the knight silently nodded, the Count raised a loud voice Holding up his large sword, and once the surrounding soldiers answered his call in kind, those cries slowly es of his army
“Attack!”
With the cavalry at the center, and the soldiers following behind, the armies ran to collide The Count looked at both armies from under his helmet
“Lyle, was it? Noill you fight?”
The knights around hiic shi+eld To block ic, and arrows, thin as it was, it was prepared to cover a vast expanse The arht It was the fundamental of Bahnseimian assault
The knight was looking at the enemy movements He could follow them by Skill as well, and he raised a loud voice to the Count
“It looks like they plan to wait for us! Their flanks area wide encirclement, and won’t be able to keep up with our movements!”
The Count laughed in his visor
“Slow! Before you can do that, we’ll break through the center you thinned out yourself! Whelp of the Walt House… are you a let-down!?”
As both ar up front
“What? Are those golems?”
Dolls of iron were prepared with their large shi+elds They could see the ene the weapons they had on hand, the Count…
“Don’t fear those swords! Prepare shi+elds on the front line!”
Holding up their shi+elds, the knights directed the Magic shi+eld towards the front The soldiers had been racing behind the horses fro further appart
