Episode 24: The Battle of Apatia Suddenly

"My Lord!! The right wing is collapsing!! Enemy attacks are already in the center and are causing a lot of damage!!

"Gu... I didn't know the right wing would break through..."

Coward holds his head.

By no means is the general sent by Coward to the right wing incompetent.

mediocre, but he was a pretty good man.

A battle between the same numbers should have been a general with just enough strength to make them have enough, even if there were some quality differences.

But...

"What I did... misjudged the Lemurian army? No... it was the strength of the general that made the mistake. I didn't know Lemuria's talent base was so thick..."

If I had another...

Coward sighs.

Coward would have made it possible to have the right wing.

It would not have been defeated by Oscar and would have withstood Lemuria's attack well enough.

Or if there's another Sherheen...

That could have overwhelmed Carolina, Edmond and poked him in the side with a cavalry.

Or a little more, if the quality of the infantry is not exhausted in the march...

If only the cavalry had a few more...

In just a few moments, Coward could have won.

But I didn't have enough pawns to pick up the win...

That was the cause of Coward's defeat.

"If His Majesty is here at least..."

Coward thinks of his own master, Sassan VIII.

Sassan VIII would have spotted Elquille's small workmanship.

And you did well with yourself, and you should have used it.

But Sasan VIII is not here.

Right now, I'm the only one who can count on me.

"… withdraw. Give the whole army an order to withdraw. You lead the troops and retreat. I'll be your lord."

"... ok"

Coward's deputy nods quietly and makes him ready to retreat.

Meanwhile, Coward sighed before...

"First, we must return the soldiers safely."

That's how he mutters, then leads a few soldiers against the Lemurian army.

Already the Lemurian Army left wing, led by Oscar, was like a revolving door, reaching the center of the Phallus Army, pinching the center of the Phallus Army with the center of the Lemurian Army.

And Darios, who leads the right wing of the Lemurian Army, is fiercely attacking the left wing of the Fars Army, where the upset has spread and the footprint has collapsed, and this one is on the verge of collapsing.

In a flash of judgment, Coward led a slight gesture and jumped into a vortex of confusion to rebuild the Fars Army left wing, thinking the center was no longer helpful.

"Fulcus!!

Coward recalled Fulcus, the great spirit of spears and old spirits.

Then he rides his horse, waves his spear freely and knocks down the Remulian soldiers.

"Stay!! Show me your back and I'll die!!

I manage to keep the front line, inspiring the soldiers.

To buy time for the lieutenant to put the rear soldiers together and retreat.

With his voice up, waving his spear... one man moves into Coward's eyes.

Darios from "Black Leopard".

One of Erkühl's belly-hearted men, who made me try to fight back and forth with myself.

"Darios!!!

Coward kicks the belly of the horse and storms Darios, who came out to the front line as he kicks Lemurian soldiers.

"One hit, or... not much these days... well, that would be good"

Darios grins with a niggle when he sees the Coward poking at him.

I was smoking from earlier, throwing the cannabis flue to the ground and sending magic all over my body.

Darios' eyes stain red, his hair reverses, and his muscles swell.

Long dog teeth stretch sharply and turn into fangs.

Nails change long, sharp, and hard.

The face changes from a human thing, approaching the leopard.

"Beastification"

If spirituality is the trump card of the Long Ear Clan (Elf), then the trump card of the Beast Clan (Warbeast) like Darios is this' beastification '.

Most of all, even the same "bestialization" can be pulled out completely differently by the user, as in the "spiritual art" of the long-eared clan (elves)...

Temporarily changing the body to a shape close to the animal will explosively increase the five senses and physical abilities.

Instantaneous physical abilities also outweigh long-eared (elves).

If there are shortcomings, where temporarily diminishing intelligence and too long, and 'deep' veterinarization, you won't be able to return to humans?

"Let's go!!

Darios kicks the belly of a horse.

The horse was powerful and kicked the ground.

It is one of the abilities of the 'beast', starting with the horse, able to draw more on the abilities of the beast.

It sends magic into the horse and strengthens the horse's physical abilities.

If you do too much, the horse dies.

"Ready!!

"Die!!

Darios' nails and Coward's spear collide.

One blow smashes Darios' nails.

"My spear... the top weapon spirits" Fulcus "can penetrate anything. For example, no matter how hard the metal, no matter how immaterial the magic...... and no matter how hard the beast claws (warbeast) are harder than the metal!!

Further on, Coward waves the spear.

Coward's spear is in Darios' heart...

"Gu......"

Coward groans and falls horse.

There was an arrow piercing its back.

Darios is surprised and looks around.

Then...

I'm keeping an arrow in the distance, Elquille's figure popped into my eyes.

Eyes on Darios, Elquille flies a wink.

You owe me one, right?

But I said so.

"... thank you, Your Majesty"

Darios, in a sigh, solves the beastification.

I still shouldn't do things I'm unfamiliar with.

Darios grabs Coward's neck and puts it up.

"The enemy general caught it!! Surrender!!

This resulted in the Farse army infantry losing its full morale and the majority surrendering to the Lemurian army.

"What do we do? Do you still want to do it, Lord Sherheen?"

"... hmm"

Sherheen turned his heel back at a stage when the infantry unit of the Phallus Army completely collapsed and could no longer overshadow the battlefield.

"One day, let me settle this battle, shall we?

"Well, I'll be glad to fight properly next time."

Sherheen leads the cavalry and leaves the battlefield.

Sharheen's retreat also left the battlefield to follow Sharheen again, as did Farth Cavalry, who was confronted with Carolina Edmond.

The victory of the Lemurian army was confirmed.
