Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Cilentium Administration Building, Office of the Administrator

"I never thought you'd be here."

"Ha, well, I think so myself. Did Grandpa tell you I had no choice but to come here?

In front of Sittius, who uttered words with a rare and surprising look, sat Sir Quinkinatus Jr., a peasant living in the South Side of Cilentium, Gnaeus Quinkinatus, with a sack of sickles and straw beside him.

The outfit is also an easy-to-move, muddy piercing coat suitable for farming.

There is no shadow of a young senator in the Imperial Capital who once had an outright debate on the stage in White Asia, and whose refreshing tongue and unwavering conviction left him wanting fame as the new leader of the civic nobility.

"... the other half?

"Of course, I enjoy doing it!... I'm walking down the night road and suddenly there's no danger to my life like a stone coming down, and it's just wonderful not to have a stupid aristocratic nobleman - food is delicious, farming is fun, I have a pretty sister, there's no such good place!

"... so you're good friends with Miss Pierrette, the registrar, right?

"Oh? What, you're fast on information. You're the same, that's the place."

"It doesn't change..."

There was a transcript of the Senate document containing the border crossing permits sent by the Senate and the request for defense against the foreign army in front of Sittius, who gave a frightened voice.

It was brought in earlier by Sir Quinkinatus Jr.

"... So, what do we do? What about the prime ministers of emerging countries?

To his funny words, Sittius slowly opened his mouth when he glanced at Sir Quinkinatus Jr., with the Senate document in his hand.

"Then we will contact Mayor Adamantius as soon as possible."

"Hmm? Wait, Adamantius? What happened to Lord Border Guardian?

Sir Quinkinatus, Jr., returns the words surprisingly because the name of the person out of Sittius' mouth was not what he expected.

"Lord Akircius has already made his appearance, what is it?

"... Huh?

"Right... I guess by now it's time we're attacking Lugusa"

Words were further covered to his astonishment, and Sir Quinkinatus Jr. 's mouth opened with one glance.

The eye and nostrils are then also drilled.

"Hey, what the heck!?

"Oh, didn't you hear me?

In stark contrast to Sir Quinkinatus Jr., who shouts a shout out of surprise, when Sittius inquired in an extremely calm tone, Sir Quinkinatus Jr. returned his words as he waved his hands violently left and right in front of him.

"Yes, no, I hear you, I do want to hear you, even Lugusa? Isn't that the opposite direction from the Empire, what's the matter with you?

"Of course, to help the Empire. There's no other way out of the empire than without crossing authority, well, for convenience this time the enemy was Siluha, so it's not a problem to invade."

Sir Quinkinatus, Jr., who was riding himself out of his chair, butted behind Dosari to Sittius, who conveyed the strategy of Cilentium extremely clerically pale.

And he speaks out to squeeze out with his eyes open.

"... what a jerk, what's the border guard thinking?

"As I mentioned earlier, we will attack the Castle of Julials from the side of Siluha and, along the way, we will also attack a number of cities on the side of Siluha. That would surprise the governing council of Siluha, which would bring the army back to its own country."

"Surely, you wouldn't think the goal would be Castle Julius… you'd see the emerging nations of the North coming to plunder Siluha's territory by poking a gap"

Sir Quinkinatus Jr., who finally began to turn his head and understood the strategy of the Cilentium side described by Sittius.

"Is that the place?"

After a sigh thrown up with the words, Sittius answered somewhat well.

The more I think about it, the more I just don't think about it.

Siluha, who is actually attacked, will crush his liver because Sir Quinkinatus Jr., is stunned.

Behind Sir Quinkinatus Jr. 's brain came the sight of a powerful Northern Legion soldier ravaging the southern infantry of Siluha.

"... well, I didn't know you had that idea"

"What do you think, the strategy of our Northern Union?"

To the words of Sittius again, Sir Quinkinatus Jr. replied with a bitter laugh as he waved, hanging deeply in his chair.

"It's a boulder... no, but Northern Union. You've been hit, and your grandfathers' struggles have been completely wasted."

"No, it's not"

"What?"

Sittius denies the words of Sir Quinkinatus Jr., and carries on the words.

"With that permission to cross the border, we'll be able to advance more pawns from the Castle of Julius, and we'll live with another strategy."

"Can I ask that?

"Nico."

"Hehe, right! It has to be! I'll be with you when the time comes."

Cittius replied to Sir Quinkinatus, Jr., who struck his hand funny and said so, not funny.

"Really, thank you very much."

"Sittius, you're the same... really good, and that's how the beautiful daughter-in-law stuck."

To Sir Quinkinatus Jr., who speaks in a distorted tone, Sittius turns his mouth back to the letter to.

"... this has nothing to do with my wife? Any complaints?

"No, you're not..."

Actually, these two old friends.

The officials of the administration were eating at Sittius, who seemed to have shattered sometime.

Sittius talking in vain.

I can't think...

From the words of Sittius, it could be inferred that the imperial peasants who have asked would in fact be nobles of the imperial capital.

But when I started talking to the peasant, I was surprised to see Sittius, who seemed to have fun and expressive at all times, although he was on the top of the Buddha as usual.

Especially since it is a change that I have noticed because I have usually been in close contact with them for a long time, let's say that in that sense the officials have also become known as Sitius.

They were officials who, while working, could not take their eyes and ears off Sittius, who was interested in public discourse.

Cilentium Alliance Occupied Territory, Suburb of Lugusa

More than 40,000 Cilentium troops, led by Hull, left Lugusa and began marching towards the Castle of Julials.

Although Lugusa has a slight temptation, its position with the new territory of the Cilentium Alliance makes it possible to assemble a tribal warrior regiment that can be mobilized in defense under the Alliance Agreement.

For this reason, 2,000 warrior regiments were dispatched from the northern legions of the Almar tribe and the Sodershi tribe, neighbouring tribes, and Goosind, the chief of Heon, was stationed with this lead.

Though there are 1,000 other Cilentium troops remaining as the remainder of the army, it has been decided to abandon Lugusa promptly and retreat to Heon if the great army of Cirouha comes.

The 1,000 remaining units of the Cilentium Army will join the late arrival of the supply units to Castle Julials, after which Lugusa will be abandoned.

Across the eastern mountain masses and quickly approaching Lugusa, Hull led the Cilentium army to open Lugusa in just three days.

Nevertheless, this is not at the mercy of the Cilentium army, thanks to Danford.

In fact, Danford had rooted and mobilized the soldiers who were in Lugusa.

Lugusa's obeisance, which used the 10,000 soldiers he was given to threaten and was forced to pull out even the city guards, had no way of fighting against the Silentium army.

I never thought Danford's army would be wiped out. Lugusa's Taishou naturally slipped out of his hips, realizing that it was morning and besieged, outside of any thoughts at all, such as the Cilentium army coming at him.

At the time Danford pulled out the soldiers, he had reported to the capital, Partheon, but it was also a vendetta to brace Taka that a replacement soldier should come.

It is also significant that the Cilentium army, which used the shady and was grasping this situation, moved quickly.

On the northeastern border of Siluha, the initially immobile Toho Imperial Army has crossed the border to destroy the border guards of Siluha, still flourishing sending soldiers to the surroundings to drop forts and villages.

Although the Dongzhao Army was supposed not to cross the border in the original plan, the Le Seong Bang apparently demonstrated a thriving spirit of service and began active activity.

Siluha's Capital Guard, with 15,000 soldiers, tried to move to destroy the Silentium army that had once approached Lugusa, but with this move of eastern photography, he chose to cage himself in the capital Partheon, and there was no more Lugusa's eunuchs to surrender.

If you close the castle gate and are protected by 20,000 soldiers, you can't easily fall Partheon no matter how East Photograph and Cilentium push you together, but after you go to the Cilentium Army, you can't get poked in the gap by East Photograph.

With that in mind, the captain of the capital guard in Siluha had to turn his lips into a caged castle.

"Waha, it's going well! See my big strategy!!

"My predecessor… still to come… The Castle of Julius is built so robustly for the Siluha side, it's hard."

'Hehe, but now there is no castle in Siluha, who is careful behind it! And the news has not yet reached Julius. "

As Altrius said, the orders and spies on the Siluha side had been hunted and killed by the shady men dispatched by Maple, and Siluha's orders transmission and intelligence gathering had been significantly delayed.

Even by dropping Lugusa and holding down the north road, he has blocked the road from Partheon, the capital of Siluha, to northwestern Siluha.

"Speed is the key this time! Fortunately, it fell faster than Lugusa thought. Supply doesn't matter later, so run, run, run, run, and attack the Castle of Julius! Don't give the enemy a gap to grasp the information and recover. '

"No... I know, please don't scream in my ear like that..."

It was Hal who pioneered and accidentally leaked to the noisy Altrius on his own shoulder.

During the same period, the banks of the Porta River

"Oh, have you stuck around... the Imperial Army is brave too"

In front of the ridden asphalifs, more than 20,000 Imperial Army troops were seen brightly reflecting their blunt armor helmets into the sun, neatly lined up and aligned.

Empire cavalry is positioned on the left and right with no gap in the front.

In turn, the southern infantry of his own army was finally able to form cluttered battles, equipped with simple round shields, daggers on spears and, in any case, peasant militias. Moreover, his hips had already retreated.

"Well, can't we get involved in the infantry... there's nothing else you can do to keep our kids together..."

But the peasant militia, only in numbers.

The Siluha army led by Asfarif has 10,000 Siluha cavalry in 40,000 Southern infantry, plus 20,000 heavily armed mercenaries from Western countries and more than 10,000 cavalry mercenaries hired by Asfarif in a personal handout.

Asfarif looks at the Imperial Army formation and fronts the heavy-duty infantry, the tiger boy, and rearranges the southern infantry thickly to the left and right.

And the cavalry formed a faction of anomalies of solidification and placement near the main battalion.

"Hey, which way... forward!

By decree of Asfarif, the Shirukha army moved slightly, and in response, the Imperial Army also moved.

After more than a minute of arrow alignment, the first person to be bumped was the Imperial Soldier and the Heavy Imperial Infantry Mercenary of the Asfarif Tiger Son.

He was an Imperial soldier who thrived on heavy-duty infantry mercenaries equipped with long spears, but usually enemies who were supposed to disrupt the battle lines here would never disrupt the battle.

The Imperial Soldier's method of warfare is to throw a spear at an opponent equipped with a long spear. When the spear attack frightens him and loosens the spear, he jumps into the nostalgia and cuts it with a sword, but he cannot find the gap because the opponent is not frightened.

The long-spear infantry soldiers who fall after receiving the throwing spear, but the infantry in the immediate rear row do not complement each other to create a gap.

And the imperial soldier's throwing spear ran out.

"Ku... Long Spear Infantry is highly skilled...!

And on top of that, there are many enemies.

Over 20,000 heavily armed mercenaries against 15,000 Imperial Infantry.

Although the Longs are in a hurry, they gradually move to the front line of the White Soldier Battle, where the Imperial Army remains at a disadvantage.

Empire soldiers begin to be pushed in tired of attacking heavily armed mercenaries with long spears that thrust undisturbed.

If this happens, the weapon's long-standing enemy will be in his favor.

A long spear pierces the great shield and eats through the body of an imperial soldier, and a sharp penetration breaks down the great shield line.

Another imperial soldier pierced a gap for a moment, and another imperial soldier was named to the jade without fulfilling his attempt to storm.

Long spears could not be fulfilled in the way to penetrate, while the Imperial soldiers were pushed more and more as they fought well and the front of the front line remained unfavourable on the Imperial side.

Meanwhile, the left-wing Imperial Heavy Cavalry was unable to break through the thick southern infantry.

He insulted the Southern infantry as weak, but lay a strong line and stick a crude spear forward, and the appearance of holding the horseman in tow is in the hall, and I don't think very crushing is synonymous with the Southern infantry.

It was rather the Imperial Heavy Cavalry that damaged the soldiers in several assaults, and at the end of the day the Imperial Heavy Cavalry, caught up in a riot and taken over one after the other.

There's no way you can beat an infantry with nearly ten spears rolling out on a horse in a heavy cavalry, even if you hang on a battlefield.

Eventually, the Imperial Cavalry was overwhelmed by numbers and unbearably defeated.

And the right-wing Imperial Cavalry was more miserable.

"Yo, it's full of gaps... assault!!

It was turned behind by the Siluha cavalry, graduated directly by Asfarif, who at some point had moved from the main unit within the same hassle of the southern infantry as the right wing.

In the gap being stopped by the Southern infantry, the right-wing cavalry of the Empire, who received a strong Siruha cavalry assault from behind, is instantly crushed and crushed.

But there he was pursued by Asfarif, and the right-wing cavalry of the Empire was stabbed in the back with a spear, shot into the back of his head one after the other, and ended up wiped out.

Asfarif exclaimed in a superior mood as the last horse rolled his spear into his flank and settled as he vomited blood reflexes.

"Hey, that sounds good!

But now I look up at the front of the heavy-duty infantry hitting each other and raise a single eyebrow.

Mercenaries who beat the number of soldiers and shouldn't lose their gear are tired of attacking Imperial soldiers.

"Hmm, the Imperial Infantry is still strong... we're going around behind the enemy like this!

The Longs, who saw the self-defeated cavalry on the left and right, decided to retreat, judging that they had no chance of winning.

Moreover, even as the enemy cavalry, which devastated the right wing, begins to detour with a large rear aim of the Imperial Army in an attempt to circle behind it.

If we are turned completely behind us like this, the Imperial Army will be besieged, and the Imperial soldiers on the front line, now unfavourably but painfully supported, will also collapse under pressure on their abdominal backs.

Left and right Southern infantry, whose horseback pressure had disappeared, had also begun to show a move to push and wrap the Imperial Army in numbers, threatening to fall victim to the siege annihilation battle if they continued to fight like this.

I won't let that happen.

From the beginning, there was an extraordinary difference in the number of soldiers, and the wins were thin, which we knew from the beginning.

However, I dared to fight against my disadvantage knowingly because I would not allow myself to do so within the Empire, but the results are still obvious.

In any case, the timing must be identified and retreated, but it must be done with caution so as not to lead to defeat.

Fortunately, there is little distance from here to the North Side Mountains, and fleeing into the target mountain city will keep it for a while.

If you stick so far because of your overwhelming disadvantage, the Imperial Army will be scratched.

Longs raised his voice.

"We're retreating! Our First Regiment will take over! The retreat is... Colonia Meridieto! Turn the signal, hurry up, get an attitude before they siege you!

"Oh, that's too soon to make a decision... so I guess I've been thinking about this from the beginning?

Asfarif crushed with a sinister face at the Imperial Army, which began to retreat vividly.

Although he made a rear blow with his cavalry, he was unable to strike a heavy blow at the Imperial Army, which he had anticipated, and the Imperial Army began to retreat when he tried to dare strike again.

I just want to keep him from getting back on his feet with a slightly bigger blow here, but he won't increase the damage by winning corners, offending hard.

In addition to being an enemy land that is difficult to replenish with allies even without it, Siluha has prepared the army in a manner close to total force and deposited it with Asfarif, so that there is no replenishing soldier per se.

As an asphalif that also puts the Teito attack in perspective, I want to reduce the damage as much as possible, so I also thought it would be good if the target left.

Not to mention the escape destination of the Imperial Army is the land ruled by the Border Guardian Officer, and I don't want to get a dragon out of here without a snake following me poorly.

"... it looks like the Empire still has a conspicuous general."

Asfarif, who was circling behind the Imperial Army, gave up his pursuit once he saw the Imperial Army begin to retreat with a brilliant formation conversion while skillfully using the river to shelter behind him.

Lightly dressed Southern infantry is no match for an Imperial soldier who beats his gear and is highly skilled, and heavily armed mercenaries are not suitable for pursuit battles with long spears in the way.

Though it has many cavalry suitable for pursuit, deep pursuit in enemy land is dangerous.

Asfarif had confirmed that there were no other reinforcements on any of the terrain or the Imperial Army, but he decided not to force the movement of the border guards in the north beyond grasping.

It is a literal triumph, even though we allowed it to retreat, because it nevertheless succeeded in striking about a third of the Imperial Army and pushed it to retreat.

"Now, will you focus on replenishing your power and taking control of the surrounding area... your client's demands are stronger that way? Oh, it's easy to be hired, but I'm bored! I just want to focus on the fight."

With that said, Asfarif moved on to the task of gathering and restructuring allies scattered across the battlefield.

Reinforcements from the Imperial Capital have now retreated, so they will attack Colonia Lemesia, the state capital of Lemesia, once they have taken the day off.

Mayor Pernsa rejected Asfarif's recommendation to surrender.

We also have to beat him thoroughly to show off to other imperial cities.

"Well, it's a pretty big city, and you seem to expect more than enough in return for the loot, so let's hope so."

Asfarif watched the walls of Colonia Leamesia in the distance when he nodded his tongue, saying so in a fierce voice.
