84 – Episode 84 Paonia
“No… What the f*ck?”
I admit that the place I am in is a different world.
I also acknowledge that there is mana and divine power in this world.
No matter what.
The mounted troops charged in front of the phalanx.
But is this the result?
The phalanx soldier that collided with the temple knight bounced around like a bowling pin.
On the other hand, the temple knight leisurely turned and escaped.
“Isn’t this too much?”
There are many war-related games on Earth.
Among them, there are several games in which the phalanx formation appears.
In the game, cavalry never charges in front of the phalanx.
Charges persistently, targeting the flanks and rear.
This is because the phalanx has the advantage when clashing from the front.
“Lord So!”
“Lord So! “Order!”
There was no time to feel resentful of this unreasonable situation.
“Shield soldiers, block the gap!”
The shield soldier waiting in the middle filled the gap in the circular square.
“Lord So! “The temple knight is about to charge again!”
The temple knights, who had retreated to a certain distance, took a stance to charge towards the phalanx again.
“Tell the mercenaries! “When the temple knight charges, hit him after him!”
“I understand!”
The temple knight rushed towards the phalanx.
A mercenary unit chased behind them.
Kwaaang!!
Quaaang!!
A huge crash sound is heard,
The phalanx soldiers bounced around.
Kwaaang!!
Quaaang!!
A second roar occurred in succession.
This time, the sound came from a mercenary unit attacking the rear of the temple knights.
“No… Really…”
One side of the square collapsed in the first collision (Phalanx vs. Temple Knight).
The problem is that the secondary conflict (temple knights vs. Mercenaries) was equal in number.
That is how strong the temple knight was.
The temple knight turned to escape,
It became a close encounter with mercenaries.
Then, the damage to the mercenaries accumulated quickly.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Mercenaries retreat! “Don’t fight the temple knights head-on!”
The mercenaries retreat,
The temple knight also fell far away.
Before I could even assess the damage, Hans shouted again.
“Lord So! Temple knight! “It’s an assault formation!!”
“Damn, this is too much…”
Every time they charge,
About 100 phalanxes flew at once.
In theory, ten charges are enough to annihilate a phalanx unit.
In reality, the formation will collapse before then.
Gained the upper hand against enemy soldiers who received the priest’s buff.
However, the elite priest knight 100 had nothing to do.
“Crossbowmen! Fire all at once!!”
The arrow flew quickly towards the front of the third charging knight.
The leading knight blocked most of the arrows with his aura-infused sword.
However, it was not possible to stop some of the shots aimed at the horse’s legs.
The lead horse fell forward.
“What if this is…?”
Moving on horseback is dangerous.
If just a few of the leading horses fall, the back row can fall like dominoes.
I expected such a possibility, but
Except for the rider who was hit by an arrow, none of the horses fell.
They leisurely rushed to avoid the fallen horses and knights.
Kwaaang!!
Quaaang!!
Once again, one axis of the phalanx collapsed.
Quaaang!!
Quaaa!!
The mercenary attacked the temple knight from behind, but did not cause much damage.
After finishing the charge, the mercenary retreated,
The temple knights also retreated and reorganized their battle lines.
“The temple knights… Are the 65th?”
To be exact, there were 65 temple knights on horseback.
The thirty people who lost their horses returned to their base.
“On the other hand, there are half of the mercenaries left.”
While killing 35% of temple knights,
50% Of mercenaries became incapable of combat.
The problem is that even the phalanx troops suffered great damage.
Hundreds of phalanx soldiers were treated for inability to fight.
“If I hadn’t had the potion, I would have been in big trouble.”
“Lord So! “The temple knights formed a charging formation.”
Goosebumps appeared all over my body.
I knew in my head that knights were strong.
But, I can’t believe he was such a scary being.
“Phalanx troops should form a square.”
This is all I could say.
In the current situation, they are the only ones who can stop the temple knight’s charge.
Chuck. Chuck.
The phalanx lowered its long spear towards the temple knight.
Some hands are shaking.
In the aftermath, the tip of the spear trembled even more.
Despite this, the slave soldiers did not back down.
Kwaaang!!
Quaaang!!
Quaaang!!
Quaaa!!
The first round is now familiar. Second assault sound.
I opened my eyes wide and captured the battle in my mind.
‘You were too focused on internal affairs.’
There are two main types of territory power.
One is military power.
The other is economic power.
I only focused on internal affairs, which is economic power.
Military power was relatively neglected.
I thought it was enough to fight monsters.
The reason is,
Military expenses are money spent,
Because I thought that internal affairs expenses were the foundation for development.
“Lord So!! “The temple knights…”
I could tell what it was about just by hearing the first word.
“Phalanx soldiers… Form a square.”
The temple knight’s fifth assault is imminent.
After blocking this time, there will be no troops left to form a square.
Then…
It will be difficult for regular infantry to block the surrounding area.
Two.
Doo-doo.
The temple knights began to gain momentum.
“Dust-proof!”
The phalanx unit lowered its long spear towards the temple knight.
Doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo.
The temple knight approaches,
The mercenary unit followed suit.
Inon, Selion, and Filan were seen clenching their teeth.
Everyone is desperate.
Grumbling.
He started the war and drew his sword for the first time.
“Lord So?”
“Once this assault is over, the enemy infantry will invade. “Everyone must fight.”
Doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo.
The sight of the temple knight grew larger along with the sound.
At that time,
“Elwiyin!!!”
A woman’s voice was heard filling the battlefield.
“Mr. Alencia?”
The first insurance policy I purchased after coming here appeared.
Before attacking Paonia,
I had asked Alencia for help.
She finally arrived.
But…
‘100 Units?’
About 100 mounted horses and Alencia at the head of them were seen.
Hearing her voice, the temple knight also stopped charging and observed the situation.
Alencia and 100 cavalry rushed towards our troops.
As the distance got closer, the sight of 100 horseback cavalry came into view in detail.
Article 20.
Cavalry 80.
It seems that after hearing about the situation here, they hastily brought only the cavalry unit.
“Mr. Alencia!”
“Elwin! “I’m here!!”
I forced myself to swallow the thought that the number was too small.
**
**
“What is that again?”
The priest asked, pointing to the 100 cavalry that entered the battle.
“This is Alencia, the second princess of Vampires.”
“Hmm… It won’t matter if you’re a twenty-year-old knight. By the way, did you get the horse?”
Before the priest’s question was even finished,
The soldiers brought dozens of horses.
“Good. Give it to the temple knight.”
The temple knight’s injuries have already recovered.
She just couldn’t participate in the battle because she didn’t have a horse.
If you ride that horse and send it into battle.
The number of temple knights again becomes 95.
The priest approached the temple knight.
“Elwin must be killed. Kill him and capture Princess 2. “Then it will be advantageous for negotiations.”
“I understand. “High-ranking priest!”
The temple knights who had left the battlefield were re-deployed.
“It’s not even 100 articles, it’s only 20. Princess 2 is quite reckless. “Isn’t that right?”
The priest asked the head of the Paonia family.
But,
His thoughts were different.
There was a word that followed Alencia.
Like cold, ruthless.
Alencia is so reckless?
It made no sense.
However, the current situation also made no sense.
If you look at the situation, this side has an overwhelming advantage.
And yet they invaded with only 20 knights and 80 cavalry.
‘Why did they put such an unreasonable number?’
In situations where you do not understand,
When the head of the Paonia family was worried,
Other people appeared on the other side of Alencia.
At their head,
“That… That…”
The head of the Paonia family’s mouth went dry.
The skin became smooth and raised.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
The priest asked with a puzzled expression.
“Look over there.”
The head of the family turned in the direction pointed.
Some people wearing robes were coming there.
“Are you a wizard? Still, if that number is…”
“That’s not it. The leading wizard is Harper.”
“Harper? Is this your first time hearing this? How many circles?”
“In terms of information, it is the 5th circle. Rather…”
“It’s done. “I can easily deal with the 5th circle.”
The head of the Paonia family also kept quiet.
If his anxiety is true,
Even if I tell you a hundred times, you won’t be able to prepare for it.
Rather than that, it was better to strengthen the offensive.
“We must launch an all-out attack immediately. “We must capture Elwin and the second princess!!”
Harper is Viscount Frontier’s closest associate.
He came…
We must hurry.
You have to capture key characters.
Only then will there be a way to survive.
“Well.. That’s what I was thinking. “Attack the whole army!”
**

“Lord So, the enemies are coming!!”
They even attacked the temple knights and the infantry surrounding them.
At that moment,
“Stone Hand!”
The ground rose up and took the shape of his fist.
Then he hit the ground.
Dozens of buffed soldiers standing there were instantly reduced to mush.
Following that open road,
Wizards have appeared.
“You’ve finally arrived!”
Harper, who was investigating Paonia by order of his father.
He had asked that person.
Take the wizard from South Castle and join us.
“Lord So! “It’s a little late!”
“No! “You’ve come to the right place!”
I grabbed Harper’s hand as he approached me.
“Thank you for your hard work. Now don’t worry. “Your lord will arrive soon.”
Your father?
It was not right in terms of time.
Even if we set off as soon as we received the Funan people and materials I sent,
Because you can’t come this far.
“Your father? But due to time…”
“I reported my findings to the lord. “The lord who received the report departed this way.”
This makes sense.
What if my father left before I even informed him of the situation?
Even as we were talking, the temple knight’s charge was getting closer.
At that time,
The ground in front of the temple knight rose.
It was used by the earth wizards who came with Harper.
“Harper and the wizards, please just block the knight’s charge. Then you will have enough to endure.”
“I understand. “Lord So.”
