Episode 18: The Village of Karol's Urgent Attack *

Well...

At the behest of Erkühl's life, Carolina led the Medium Cavalry (Catafract) 12000 to reach the woods behind the village of Carol.

Since she broke up with Erkühl before arriving in the village of Karol, Stefan assumes that Erkühl has not brought a medium cavalry (catafract).

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, step down from the horse... and bracket it on a nearby tree. I will leave only 2000, so please take care of the horse and protect him."

That's what Carolina said and went down from the horse...

I bracketed a horse in a tree.

And remove the armor.

"All of you... take it off, except for the part about protecting the steeple at the very least, such as the breastplate"

Following Carolina's orders, the soldiers take off their armor.

The soldiers wondered what His Highness intended… but obeyed orders.

"And then... leave Lance or Mace alone. The only gear is swords and bows."

And Carolina said as she walked towards the woods......

"Gentlemen, I'm an Elf... naturally, when I was a kid, I climbed a tree and played with it, right? I didn't know you couldn't... I won't let you tell me, will I?

Listen to Carolina...

The soldiers finally understood the intention.

Now, the Long-Eared (elf) troops coming down from the Cavalry in Medium (cataphract) did not break down well and were on their way.

Looking down at the whole thing as some soldiers went on the tree......

The formation is not breaking down, and we go on to make sure.

The Elves originally lived on trees.

It's certainly difficult to march without breaking formation in the woods... but it's not something you can't do.

Hang for three days and carefully push through the woods...

And in the early morning of the fourth day, it finally approached behind the village of Karol.

After all, as Erkühl sees it, no trenches have been dug behind the village.

All there is is is a simple fence.

I guess there was no time and labor respite rather than alarm......

Instead, there are about 200 soldiers on guard.

Even if soldiers march through the woods...

The formation is crumbling during the phase out of the woods.

Stefan thought it would be fine if we found it early and destroyed each of them.

Either way, it's true if it was a beast or a human.

However... the target is a long-eared (elf) family.

It is a species that originally lived in the woods.

Stefan had lost track of it.

The battle began with the sound of an arrow shooting air.

First, Carolina climbed the tree's edge and fired an arrow with an arrow...

Towards that direction, 1,000 long-eared people (elves) emit arrows from the tree's heavenly side, top, middle, bottom, and ground.

It's a short bow for riding, so the range is shorter than the bow used by Longbow Squad...

Because it is a composite bow, arrows fly much farther than a normally used bow.

Rainy arrows pour down on soldiers on the lookout.

By the time we wipe out 200 soldiers...

About a thousand enemy reinforcements arrived.

Against that, I still shower arrows.

They also throw stones against each other...

It doesn't hit the long-eared (elves) lurking in the woods... they fly at different distances in the first place.

Striking out the arrows, Carolina unleashes the weapon spirit Erigos...

I got off the tree.

The Elves pull out their swords and strike them all together.

Even on a tree, the Long Ear Clan (Elves) are strong...

Naturally strong even on the plains.

Using long limbs, the Long-Eared Clans (Elves) overwhelm the mercenaries with their swords.

In addition to differences in physical abilities and numbers…

There is also a difference between those with formal military training and those with self-study….

The mercenaries are slaughtered and killed one after the other.

And at the stage where Carolina moved into melee...

Erkühr also launched another total attack.

Now turn in not only mercenaries, but soldiers from Tunda and allies...

It's a simultaneous attack from both sides, front and across the river.

Send soldiers to the front and flanks...

I can't stand the attack from behind.

But if you send soldiers behind your back, the front and sides will break through.

I totally stuffed Stefan.

Screw you...

The Lemurian army only damaged the mercenary 2500, reclaiming the village of Karol...

He killed 2,000 mercenaries and took 2,000 prisoners.

"You've kept me busy, Stefan Shaikoski."

……

Stefan was made to look at Erkühl after being interviewed.

Regardless, tied with rope...... behind it is Nia, and beside Erkühl is Carolina refraining.

Even if Stefan had hidden the knife...

Immediately Nia, Carolina will respond if it is delayed.

Most of the time before I saw him, he was naked and checked for weapons...

Impossible assumption in the first place, though.

"All the mercenaries I caught... you seem to have admired me for a long time. It's unusual for a mercenary to admire an individual. Is that your virtue?

"... I keep it as a compliment and it's an honor. Sire."

Stefan bowed her head gently to Erkühl.

Regardless... the look on its face is cloudy and doesn't look honorable to flatter.

"Strategic perspective is there too, but that defensive position...... tactical ability, that's a rare talent. I'm not saying I can't make anything that strong, but I'll have a hard time making it."

"Ha ha..."

He's an emperor who hates to lose...

Stefan thought, but didn't put it in his mouth.

"Plus, he's a middle-in-law in mercenary habits. I wish I had run away on my own... I didn't know you were going to keep your employer's orders and lead your men to the end of the fight"

……

That's a mistake.

I was having trouble being followed on my own.

And Stefan tried to say... but I didn't put it in my mouth because I felt it was better not to say it atmospherically somehow.

"Well that's a roundabout way to put it..."

Erkühl walks under Stefan......

I pulled out my sword.

Stefan closes her eyes ready.

But...

The pain I was prepared for didn't come.

Open your eyes...

The rope is cut and the restraint is untied.
