Mysterious Job Called Oda Nobunaga - 159
Not long after the surrender of the Talmud, most of the lords of the northern part of the Gigantic Isles presented their letters of surrender and hostages. Now the battle was ready.
We have already received a report from Kerala, who is holed up in Yagmouri Castle. It is said that the castle is being attacked by the enemy, but that it is solid and does not seem to be falling at all. It would be a problem if it were not so.
The position of the attack on Count Samyu had already been perfectly planned.
Having taken control of the northern part of the Gigantic Isles, there were numerous ways to enter the enemy’s territory.
Which of them he would choose was also decided based on the information he had obtained.
But what is certain is that I will take the route that seems to be the most heavily defended and the most difficult to conquer, as the general-in-chief.
The hardest route is the “capital” where the former king Pahtus fled to.
If we are going to escape, we should enter the castle of Samieu at the southern end, which is the residence of the Count of Samieu. Apparently, the former King Pahtus is as noble as Hasse, and he thought it would not be graceful to flee to the far corner of the city.
Probably, he thought that it was not right to enter the castle of a lord as it was, since he was the king.
Well, I don’t question the right or wrong of his decision. If not for his nobility, he might not be able to continue his miserable fight.
But it’s not a bad thing to have a shot at the former king.
I will march south with my own elite forces of red bears, white eagles, and black dogs.
In addition, a hastily added squadron of blue tigers is also nearby.
The Blue Tiger Squad is a brand-new unit made up of only the people of the Giant Island Division.
Newcomers are always a little bit cramped. Therefore, I promised him that if he could win a battle here, he would be valued as much as his predecessors. Of course, the SS are at high risk of losing their lives. The Seigorotai is made up of only those who are prepared to serve knowing that.
We know that the Blood Qietai, Count Samu’s elite force, is waiting for us on this route. Therefore, we must have enough strength to defeat them.
After crossing a not so high mountain pass, the view to the south opens up at once. The stronghold of the former king Paphus is at the end of the pass.
Count Samieu’s army, 3,000 strong, is defending the pass.
My men are less than 5,000. Too large an army will slow us down. That’s the limit.
We outnumber them, but the side defending the high ground has the advantage. There is no strategy now.
We have no strategy now. We must attack them by force.
Riding next to me on his horse, Raviara patted me on the back.
“Don’t worry. Whatever happens, Laviala will protect Mr. Arsrod.”
“I’ll protect you, too. You should at least be able to protect your own wife.
Raviara sighed in disgust.
“The old Mr. Arsrod wasn’t this ambitious. He never even joked about Raviara being a .”
“It’s because I got a weird job when I was growing up. Forgive me.”
Now, we can see the enemy’s flag flying over the pass.
The order to the legions does not require many words. Most of the men have been fighting with me for too long. They all know what to do.
“Orcus, Rayon, Dolbeau, don’t get hung up on the details. Just think about fighting the enemy in front of you. I hear that the enemy is not disturbed at all by the disappearance of a general.
Rayon folded his hands and snapped them together.
“I’m going to go through and take the former king’s head. Is that what you want?”
“Yes, the former king is a renegade from the Kingdom of Thirlwil. Let him bleed for His Majesty King Rumi I.”
Rayon laughed heartily.
“Yes! I’ll get your head for sure! Then my name will be in the annals of military history forever!”
“By the way, I’ll leave your name even if you die in battle.”
The men of the Red Bear Squad laughed.
“We’ll make it back to King’s Landing alive anyway!”
“Oh, please see the new Majesty’s face! All of you, get in there! One kill each!”
With a battle cry, my army rushes forward.
The enemy blood Qietai also wielded their trident weapons. As I had heard, this unit was formed with the idea of gathering great men to defend against the enemy.
“It would be a shame if we come all the way here and lose! Screw ’em!”
–Special ability [Style of the High King] is activated. This effect is given when he is recognized by many as the High King. All his abilities are tripled. In addition, those who witness it will feel either awe or fear.
–Special ability【Guiding Sign of the High King】is activated. Your trust and concentration are doubled. In addition, your attack and defense are strengthened by 30%.
If you can’t win with this, you’re nothing. Grab the victory for the new king.
Of course I will fight to the best of my ability.
I will wield the sword of the regent’s symbol, <>. I will enter into the midst of the enemy.
“You may stand before me, but if you are not prepared to die, then get out of my way!”
But it seems that none of our enemies are prepared to die.
Some of them have had a few fights with me, but most of them ended up losing their heads.
With the [Style of the High King] in effect, there is no way anyone can beat me.
After a while of melee, “The enemy general has been killed! A voice echoes. It was one of our soldiers holding his spear high in the air.
For the time being, we have achieved our minimum objective.
“Don’t let up yet! Kill every enemy that comes at you!”
The enemy is not yet on the run. The atmosphere is different. They look as if they are seriously devoting their lives to Count Samieu.
This is not a part of the kingdom but a completely independent country. Of course, during the war, the lords of every land have ruled it as if it were an independent country, but the coloring of the land is completely different.
Raviara also fires a volley of arrows.
He shoots through the enemies near me and clears the way for me.
“Let’s keep going, Mr. Arsrod!”
Raviara seems to be having a good time. Yes, the battlefield is a terrifying place, but it is also an exciting place.
“Yes, it is! Let’s run through it all at once! We will defeat those who shield the Kingdom of Thirlwil!”
From the looks of the battlefield, we may be able to reach the former king.
