58 – Episode 58 Battle for Northern Vampires
Bukbuk direction.
Alencia Unit.
Commander Barracks.
Alencia received a report on the situation of the war.
“What is the situation of the Elwin unit?”
“Good.”
“You say it’s good?”
“We have built a fortress in the Ogre area. “We are luring the ogre there and killing it.”
Defending is easier than attacking.
It is not a normal defense, and if it is Mercury, the battle becomes much easier.
“Still, ogres must be difficult, right?”
Even with a castle wall, it is difficult to deal with ogres as ordinary soldiers.
Especially if there are a lot of them like Monster Island.
“Hunters are controlling the ogres.”
“Control?”
“They are scattered throughout each region to monitor ogres, controlling their movement and luring them when necessary.”
The situation of the Elwin unit was pictured in my mind.
Build a fortress in the monster area.
This is definitely an outstanding job.
The idea of building a fortress was amazing, but completing it in such a short time was also amazing.
However, that alone was not enough.
‘The key is the hunter.’
Elwin was dominating the battlefield.
In favorable terrain,
When you want to fight,
Enemies with a manageable number,
There was a battle.
The reason we can do this is because of Hunter.
Among the three units, Elwin, the weakest, was fighting the best.
‘But… Can this situation be maintained?’
Knights and wizards use mana to kill ogres.
What is Elwin’s mainstay, the Ballista?
Consumes large arrows every time you fight.
Mana is restored, but large arrows are not.
‘Even if some of it is recovered, it is bound to run out eventually.’
“Is the Elwynn unit’s inventory of arrows sufficient?”
“No worries about that either.”
“Are you not worried?”
“A supply unit is passing through the Duchy of Vampires.”
Elwin’s power is not limited to the soldiers here.
His true power is,
A large farm where crops are growing even at this moment.
A mine that mines iron ore.
A workshop where various weapons and equipment are made.
“Finally, the top that carries them.”
“Yes?”
“No. “I was just talking to myself.”
“They say the supply unit even has ballistas.”
“Even ballista?”
It was not just a supply.
The Elwynn unit was growing stronger during the war.
Thanks to the production facilities in the rear.
I recalled what Elwin said at the garrison.
‘Did I say I didn’t believe you?’
What he said was true.
Elwin has already made sufficient preparations.
From strategy to distribution.
It was he who looked down on him.
“We also work hard. “We must not fall behind the Elwynn forces!”
“I understand!”

Northeast direction.
Elwin Unit.
Command barracks.
“Lord So! “New news has arrived.”
“What is it?”
“Alencia’s troops have increased their advance speed.”
“What!? Why!?”
I have adapted to the current situation,
Alencia picked up speed.
“We will increase the number of attractions starting tomorrow.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“I understand!”
‘Are we being pushed aside by Benia? Is that why you increased your speed?
The next day.
The number of ogres attracted has been increased.
At the same time, a second operational area was searched.
Because I had to clear out the surrounding monsters and move on to the next area.
“What about the supply unit?”
“You have entered the monster area. “I will arrive the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay. Tell it to the hunter unit. “Secure the supply route.”
“Yes! “We are already doing that.”
Originally, I wanted to have more, but
Must keep pace with the Alencia unit.
“Once the supply unit arrives, it will move to the second operational area.”
“We haven’t finished cleaning up the surrounding area yet.”
“Divide the unit into two. Some will remain in the first fortress to clear out monsters and secure supply routes.”
“I understand!”
Since the fortress has already been completed, there is no need for many troops.
I plan to leave behind some of my core forces, including ballistas and mercenaries.
Along with a small number of slave soldiers to repair the fort.
‘Ballistas will be added through supply, so there is no big problem.’
After two days,
The supply unit has arrived.
With food, bolts, and large arrows,
Five ballistas have arrived.
200 Slave soldiers in the first fortress,
Mercenary 30.
And left behind 10 ballistas.
Second operational area.
This time, construction of the fortress began again.
Elena and her students’ complexion worsened again.
This is proof that she is consuming mana that quickly.
“Cheer up. “Once the fortress is completed, we can rest.”
Pi Yung.
Phew!
Quang!
Even while the fortress was being built, flares and explosions continued to be heard nearby.
This is the sound of hunters luring ogres.
“Young Master Su, the basic construction has been completed. “It has minimal defensive capabilities.”
“Good job.”
The command barracks were moved inside.
The meeting continued there.
“You have to look at each thing carefully. “There shouldn’t be even the slightest loophole.”
There has not been a single death so far.
It is not because our unit is strong.
Analyze thoroughly,
This is because we only fought planned battles.
“Everyone returns alive. “Don’t let down your guard until you step on the river.”
“I understand!”
“I understand!”
.
.
One day becomes two,
Two days turned into four days.
A week has passed
Two weeks have passed.
For a short period of time,
With the feeling of crossing a cliff,
I looked ten times and moved forward.
I did…
Problem broke out somewhere else.
“The supply unit is attacked!?”
“They say they were ambushed while passing through the Frontier Territory.”
The location where the accident occurred is:
Between River and the Duchy of Vampires,
It occurred in the Frontier Territory.
“How can that be?”
It was a human land for a long time.
There were not many monsters.
Even if we were ambushed, our own bodyguards would have been sufficient.
“According to the investigation, it appears that the victim was attacked by a human.”
A human being.
Who would attack a supply unit fighting monsters?
That too, a small lord’s supply unit in the Frontier Territory!
‘Could it be…?’
Two names came to mind.
Brilda and Silnia top.
The Silnia Merchant Marine has a reason to attack the Irish Merchant Marine.
Because we are competing for the frontier commercial area.
The same goes for Brilda.
My forces had a reason to attack at any time.
‘No. ‘Don’t you need to think about it differently?’
Brilda and Silnia are on one side.
Both may have been involved.
“Young Lord, what should we do?”
“First, hire mercenaries… No.”
I will definitely show it to you this time.
That mercenaries are my force.
“Give a defense mobilization order to the Salamander mercenaries and the Chase mercenaries.”
The Chase Mercenaries are the lords of the fourth city, Yuran.
They actively absorbed Irish hunters.
Thanks to this, I was able to catch a large number of monsters and became the lord of Yuran.
Village defense is done by hiring mercenaries,
The Seongju mercenary group was used to track down the criminal.
This is to show the enemy.
If you attack me, you will have to fight a large mercenary group.
“And contact your grandfather too. “Please make sure to find the culprit.”
“I understand.”
He asked his grandfather, who was the best hunter a generation ago.
He would be able to find the culprit.
‘This is enough for the rear, the problem is…’
He said he would show Alencia a different side.
I never thought a problem like this would arise.
I pressed down and wrote a letter.
[Dear Alencia.
…
There was a problem with supply, making the advance difficult.
…
Please delay your advance until the next supply period.
…
Northeastern sector commander. Elwin.]
I applied so much force at the end that the pen almost broke.
‘Once this matter is over, I will definitely deal with those who stabbed me in the back.’

Bukbuk direction.
Alencia Unit.
Everyone is exhausted from the recent wave of attacks.
This also applies to Commander Alencia.
In this situation, Elwin’s letter arrived.
I read all the letters, folded them carefully and set them aside.
“Elwin wants us to stop the advance.”
“Oooh!”
“Really!?”
The voices of the subordinates became brighter.
To the extent that the appearance from a moment ago was considered fake.
“If the northeastern troops stop, our troops must also keep pace.”
“Yes. “If we advance like this, our flanks will be dangerous.”
The commanders are exhausted.
The same goes for knights, wizards, and soldiers.
‘Plus, with their recent offensive, they are faster than Benia.’
There will be no problem even if you rest.
“Stop the advance and reorganize. However, some troops will be used to eliminate nearby monsters.”
“I understand. “Princess!”
“I understand!!”
The subordinates answered with powerful voices.

While the battle was taking place in the northern part of Vampires,
River was also moving quickly.
According to Elwin’s defense mobilization order,
The Salamander mercenaries and the Chase mercenaries have gathered in the river.
Hunters who were not mobilized for war were also called up.
Their overall command was taken by school principal Campbell.
He was an excellent hunter in the past,
Because of his status as Elwin’s grandfather,
No one was dissatisfied.
“Everyone must have heard the news. The upper part of Ireland was attacked in the Frontier Province.”
As he continued his explanation, Campbell’s voice contained anger.
“Thirty-one members of the upper division and forty slave soldiers guarding them were all killed. “The enemy even committed the atrocity of stabbing the dead body again to confirm the kill.”
This is an incident in which a total of 71 people died.
The ballista, various weapons, and food that were being transported at the time were also stolen.
“What we have to do is clear. Find the culprit. And…”
Campbell dragged the horse.
At the same time, I made eye contact with each and every person gathered.
“I take bloody revenge.”
