Santairiku Eiyuuki

It was a nightmare for the Kingdom of Cerda.

For suddenly a group of those who raised dust and dust approached.

If this had been the usual, barbarian, Barbarian raid, the border guards of the Kingdom of Cerda would have been able to cope calmly.

But...

The legion had twin-headed eagles flying the Lemurian Empire's flag.

"Hey, why the Lemurian army from the desert!?

"Duh, what's going on?

"Ya, help me!!

Jebe, who had been entrusted with the vanguard unit against the escaping guard, ruthlessly orders his men.

"Shoot him!

"" "Ha!

The independent guerrillas led by trained Jebe are relentless and will shoot their enemies.

And lightly breaks through enemy lines of defense.

"Rear, report to His Majesty the Emperor. The line of defense has been breached, he wants us to keep pushing it all at once."

"Yes!"

Jebe is sending orders backwards...

Don't change your speed as it is, and approach enemy cities all at once.

"Yay, my God!! Damn, the Lemurian Imperial Army is attacking!!

"No way! It's a big desert ahead of here!? There's no way the Lemurian Imperial Army is coming."

"False alarm, false alarm!

"Yes, no, I did see a two-headed eagle!

"You turned into a Lemurian army, aren't you a Barbal?

"Whatever it takes, it's not the enemy!

"Quickly close the gate!

"Wait! People are still out there! I can't abandon them!!

"What if I'm saying that!!

"Hurry, hurry up and evacuate everyone into the city!!

"Hey, you guys are in the way! I can't close the gate! Get out of the way!"

"Please, my wife hasn't come yet!!

"Hey there carriage, out of the way! You're way too big!!

"Don't rush!!...... Aah!! The wheel is broken!!

"Don't be ridiculous, at a time like this! Wouldn't this keep the gate closed!!

"Get the carriage out of the way because it's good!! I don't mind breaking it!

"Don't break it! It's my property! Hey, don't steal people's stuff on your own!!

"Anything is good, hurry up!!!

"Oh, hey! The Lemurian army is already approaching!!

"Stupid! The early horse from the guard isn't here yet...... no way, is that the early horse?

"Ah, those guys, they're even approaching right behind the guard's early horse!!

"Quick, quick, close the gate!!

"I don't know, it's exciting"

Jebe said swallowingly as he fell into mayhem and watched people soften in front of the castle gate from afar.

The tone is swallowing... but the horse is moving at full speed.

"Captain, isn't it too soon? Bulgarian troops and cavalry (catafract) have not been followed..."

"No, this is good. This is His Majesty's order. Your Majesty pioneered me because he wants this"

The independent guerrillas led by Jebe are all made up of cavalry.

The equipment is completely lightweight and only slightly protects the steeple.

Horses are also nearly naked.

The weapon is a sabel and a bow and arrow.

If that is all, it is just a light cavalry.

Jebe-led independent guerrillas, the biggest feature is that they follow four replacement horses per ride.

Therefore, by switching horses many times, you can travel at the highest speed.

"As it is, it flows into the city.... get rid of obstacles."

"" "Ha!

The cavalry replied...

He then erected a composite bow made by the Lemurian Empire.

An arrow pours down like rain, sweeping away the crowd that was made in front of the castle gate.

Jebe unplugged the sabel and screamed.

"After entering, hold down the opening and closing devices of the castle gate, and then occupy the city. All men, prepare for battle!!

"" "Ha!

The Lemurian Imperial Army, led by Erkühl, then invaded the city of the Kingdom of Cerda with the momentum of the dashed bamboo, while invading its centre.

And three days after we started the march...

The Lemurian army was imminent in the city of Teripol.

"Hey, what do you mean... what's going on? Duh, some port has been occupied? Where did the Lemurian army come from!

Defending the city of Terripol, General of the Terripol Defense Forces, Carmine held his head.

The defensive and intelligence networks of the Kingdom of Cerda had been slackened by the sudden emergence of a fast advance by the Lemurian army.

The information is completely staggered, we don't know what is a lie and what is true.

Some claim that the harbour was occupied and the Lemurian army landed from there...

Others claim that General Iason has been defeated and that the Lemurian army has attacked this far.

And another says that the enemy is the Barbal and only borrows the flag of the Lemurian army...

Others say that the Lemurian army has crossed the Great Desert.

With information mixed with falsehood, I can't grasp the current situation at all.

The very truth that "the Lemurian army has carried out ambush attacks across the Great Desert" is too fictional to be helped.

"Yes! That's why I shouldn't disperse my forces! You must have been poked in the face!! That raw soldier law youngster!!

Carmine reveals frustration.

Young man, that is to say Iason.

If it was indeed Carmine's strategy...... he would have been able to intercept the enemy in the city of Terripol in full swing.

Most of all... Erkühr didn't really change much because he hit another hand at that time.

"Shit, General! And, anyway, we have to intercept!

"That's true... we only have 5000 troops!

Originally, Teripol defense forces were scheduled to gather 7000 troops.

But... Exactly on top of the time it took to muster 7000 troops, priority had to be given to Azdavia first, and mobilisation of the Capital Guard and Teriportanian Guard forces was also necessary in parallel.

As a result, the Terripol defense forces have only gathered 5000.

But if we get together 5000, there's no problem.

The harbour has already been sealed off by thick chains, and we are also ready to sink the ship intentionally and make the harbour unusable.

Even if the Lemurian Empire Navy has tried to land...

With 5000, it should be possible enough to prevent it.

But...... the enemy came from shore.

"But the enemy force is about 3000! This one is better!

"Yes, indeed... if you ask me. Caged castles should give you plenty of room to carry... how much food do you have?

Carmine confirms the food stored in the city.

I heard the report and held my head.

"Damn, too little..."

Preparing a cage castle takes time.

It is not so easy to prepare a level of food that has no problem with being denied food supplies for a long period of time.

There is only a minimum amount of food, etc., because it was all over the hands to gather troops.

Moreover, the city of Terripol is also the second city of the Kingdom of Cerda, with a population of 150,000.

Their stomachs must also be supported.

Most of all… it is impossible to completely besiege a city of 150,000 inhabited by 5000 troops with a Lemurian army of about 3000.

But still... it's possible enough to disrupt logistics.

If the supply of food to the city of Teripol lags behind, there will undoubtedly be starvation.

"Yeah, I don't mind... it's a field fight! There's no reason why you can't win!

Carmine laid a formation near the city of Teripol, waiting for the Lemurian army.

"Well... did the enemy choose the field?"

Erkühl grinned when he heard a report of a vanguard unit led by Jebe.

"The number of soldiers is better that way. That makes sense."

"Oh, not at all. I think it's a smart choice. Caged under this circumstance would just be stupid. The number of soldiers is excellent. If we caged it, it would dry up after three days, and we would eventually strike it out. Then it makes sense to intercept them in the field from the start."

Never a foolish general.

and Erkür and Alicia evaluated.

But...

"It's a thousand years early to challenge me to the field with less than twice as many troops."

Erkühr laughed invincibly.

Erkühl then waits for the entire army to assemble...

After regrouping his army, he slowly approached the city of Teripol.

The showdown is the next day.

And that night, Erkür called Jebe.

"It's Jebe."

"You've come a long way, Jebe. Your Independent guerrilla unit worked great. You're the one who's made it this far without any obstacles."

Erkühr praised Jebe.

Was just Jebe happy with this, too, I just blushed my ears a little.

(... you look really cute)

When he saw Jebe with a reddish face, Erkür gave him an indescribable look.

Exactly, sometimes they just send me in as Elquille's mistress.

Most of all, Elquille has no taste in holding men, and Jebe has no taste in being held either.

"Well, Jebe. You will not participate in tomorrow's battle and will be asked to leave here in the early morning."

"Okay.... What's your destination?

It's the Ifrichian region.

Ifrichia region.

It is one of the administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Cerda, west of the Teriportania region, where the city of Cerda exists.

In other words, it is a place like the metropolitan area.

"Proceed to the Ifrichian region while avoiding engaging the enemy... Threaten the city of Cerda and stir up the enemy. With your cavalry's mobility, it should be possible."

"... I'll take care of it. That's what I'm good at. Should we do a thorough sabotage?

"Oh. I'll leave the situation to you. Just... don't do as much damage to civilians as you can. Later governance becomes a hassle. Get out the fast horses regularly. I don't know where you are. Right... don't dare, come back within a month"

"I understand. I'll remember the liver."

Jebe nodded.

After Jebe left, Erkühl next called Nia.

"This is Nia Lucarios."

"Well done, Nia. Thanks to you for protecting our backs this time, we were able to march smoothly. You've grown."

"Eh heh..., you know..."

Nia smiled with delight, Niyaniya.

That's a reduction where it's easier to stay on track, and Erkühl lowers Nia's inner score just a little on the transcript in his mind.

"Well, Nia. You will not take part in tomorrow's battle... I will give you another assignment"

"Another assignment, is it?

"Oh, I want you to move early in the morning"

Elquille nodded.

And expand the elaborate map.

It is the addition of information gathered by Elquille through merchants and spies, as well as information gathered locally, to a map that was once made when a section of the Kingdom of Cerda was the territory of the Lemurian Empire.

"As you know, the city of Teripol is the hub of the Teriportania region, as well as a transportation hub. Nia, I want you to occupy the post on the main road connecting the cities of Teripol and Cerda, and dimension the information west and east of Teripol."

"Okay!... Well, may I ask why?

"The city of Terripol has fallen or not... you're anxious you don't even know that, right?

Erkühr smiled niggardly.

It is impossible to block all information because there are just small narrow paths and so on.

But if Nia blocks the main road, we can prevent some information.

Disruption due to information manipulation is also possible.

"This can only be done by your independent guerrilla unit. I asked for it."

"Yes! I will definitely, I will try!

Nia squeezed her fist tight.

After Nia left...

Erkühr is mean, with a grin.

"Well... can you handle it? Let's take a look at Hilderick II's arms."

Elquille laughed delightfully.
