92 – Episode 92 Battle of the Plains
Stern Valois.
A minor lord of the Count Valois family, the leader of the northern coast.
Personally, this is an article that reached intermediate expert level.
Rebellions, monster subjugation, and even wars between territories.
He is also a commander who led more than ten battles.
The troops he led arrived at the Frontier Plains.
Soldier 2000.
Article 100.
New building 30.
“Wait here.”
“I understand!”
Soldiers began to set up barracks.
There are three days left until the duel.
‘I guess I can take three days off.’
After a while,
The commander barracks are completed,
We gathered key people there.
“What is the current situation?”
“The troop situation is good.”
“The drivers are fine too.”
“The enemy has not arrived.”
It hasn’t arrived yet.
I was quite relaxed.
“You’re not scared of the knights, are you? hahahaha.”
“hahahaha.”
“hahahaha.”
Stern joked and lightened the mood.
The battle took place three days later,
Excessive tension is already not good.
“Chief of Staff, please explain the operation again.”
From Valois Territory,
This is an operation that has been checked dozens of times.
For this purpose, the Battle of Paonia was analyzed and analyzed again.
“First of all, the enemy soldiers are elite.”
Stern nodded his head.
A soldier carrying a long spear.
They were elite.
Overestimating the enemy is bad, but
It should not be ignored.
“How to respond?”
I already knew this, but I asked again.
“This is the priest’s blessing. Blessed soldiers can take on enemy troops.”
The difference from the Battle of Paonia is,
Paonia’s soldiers were not properly trained.
On the other hand, the soldiers he brought were elites selected from Valois.
No matter how strong the long spear soldier is, our troops will be able to win.
‘Still, it’s unfair. You can only win if you receive blessings…’
“Even the enemy has a priest.”
“That’s right. However, they are less numerous than our allies. You can’t give blessings to every soldier. In other words, there will be a gap.”
“Through that gap?”
The staff drew a smile on their lips.
“You can lead the knight and charge.”
Stern closed his eyes and drew the battlefield.
As I analyzed the Battle of Paonia, I imagined how it went down.
The battle will be recreated here.
‘If you catch the saint’s eye this time…’
The Battle of Paonia greatly angered the Moon Church.
1) Many priests and temple knights died.
2) Destruction of pioneer temples built in Ireland.
3) Expansion of the Earth Temple in Ireland.
The culprit behind all of this is Elwin, who will be fighting in the future.
‘If you kill him and gain the saint’s trust…’
The Elector Van serves the Moon Goddess.
If you rely on the power of the church, even the emperor will not be just a dream.
‘It is time for an emperor to emerge from Valois.’

Area near Frontier Plains.
A temporary barracks was set up there.
“Not yet?”
“I’m sorry. “I received a letter informing me of departure, but…”
The 50 guns sent to the Gray Magic Tower have not yet arrived.
“They said they would solve it first.”
I requested it directly from the owner of the Buma Tower.
He answered that he would absolutely do it as quickly as possible.
But it hasn’t arrived yet.
Even though tomorrow is the day of the duel.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Master, there is less than a day left until the duel. “Shouldn’t you go now?”
“No. There is no problem as long as we arrive before the duel.”
Of course, it is common sense to arrive a few days in advance.
Soldiers need to rest,
I need to learn the surrounding terrain.
‘Still, you must take 50 firearms with you.’
In extreme cases,
I even thought about postponing the duel.
Of course, you will have to bear the penalty.
After midnight,
2 O’clock in the morning.
Finally, 50 guns arrived.
90% Was the same as other guns.
The difference is that there is a button instead of a trigger.
“That’s unusual.”
I came out of the barracks and picked up my gun.
I directly added gunpowder and bullets and took aim.
Press the button instead of the trigger,
Ta-ang!
Although it was awkward,
It wasn’t entirely unfamiliar.
This is because a button was placed in the place of the trigger.
At the sound of gunshots, soldiers came out of the barracks and prepared for battle.
“Go to the duel location.”
“Yes!”

The morning of the duel.
Stern left the barracks.
This is to do the morning training that I always do.
But, far away.
Elwin’s soldiers had arrived at the end of the plain.
“You’re finally here.”
Swing a sword for an hour,
I washed my body.
Even then, the enemy barracks were quiet.
It was invisible except to the minimum number of surveillance personnel.
Provide plenty of food to the soldiers,
The last large-scale training was conducted.
Until then, the enemy barracks were quiet.
Commander Barracks.
“What are they doing to be so quiet?”
The staff stood up from their seats.
“From what I found out, he was said to be sleeping.”
“Sleep? “What time is it now and you can’t believe I’m sleeping!”
“The Elwin unit arrived early this morning. “It looks like they marched all night.”
“Ha!”
This is absurd.
Although it is called a duel,
It is definitely a bloody battle.
But you arrive early in the morning before the battle?
I couldn’t understand it with Stern’s common sense.
‘Are you taking the duel lightly? Or are you ignoring me? Whatever it is, I will follow it thoroughly.’
“Do a final inspection. Their blood will be sprinkled on the frontier plains today.”

The soldier was put to sleep two hours before the duel began.
This is to make up for the sleep I lost yesterday.
Of course, I woke up and checked the operation.
“Give me breakfast when I wake up. “Put in a lot of meat.”
“I understand.”
The soldiers woke up and started a late breakfast.
At that time,
The test tube came.
I glanced at the soldier eating and opened my mouth.
“There is little time left for the duel. “Please move right away after you finish eating.”
“We will start from there.”
Pointed to the end of the plain.
“Are you talking about that place?”
The examiner looked at the place with an incomprehensible expression.
It was quite far from the central area of the duel.
“Why not?”
“No, but if a battle does not occur for a long time, the army in the central area of the duel will win.”
This is what I know.
There are cases where one side runs away and avoids battle.
At this time, the unit that occupies the center wins.
“We will prepare there, so convey it that way. “I won’t be late for the duel.”
“I understand.”

10 Minutes before the duel starts,
Stern saw the enemy troops at the end of the plain.
“Starting from that far away?”
5 Minutes.
1 Minute.
Even right before the duel started.
Elwin’s troops waited at a distance.
“Are you planning to run away?”
“Young Lord, what should we do?”
“First, occupy the center. “Tell the priest to conserve his sacred power.”
“I understand.”
The duel begins,
I took control of the center of the battlefield as a soldier.
I saw the Elwin unit there.
‘Is it a sure victory or a small adventure?’
If you wait like this, victory in the duel is certain.
Instead, you cannot kill Elwin.
‘It’s clear that you have to kill Elwin to get the saint’s attention.’
I slowly looked at the Elwynn troops.
Enemy troops located on high ground even in the plain area.
‘Do you have any thoughts?’
The starting point is not bad.
Of course, you have to come back down.
The center is here.
“But why are they so busy?”
“I’m sorry. “I can’t confirm it here.”
Some soldiers continued to move dirt inside.
‘Is it a trap?’
At that moment,
A thought occurred to me.
‘Did Elwin think I was going on an adventure!?’
So nestled on a hill,
Are you selling a trap?
‘How much do you know? Do you know my goal? So, are you sure that you will attack first instead of winning safely?’
If not,
It would not have been located far from the center.
Elwin, who was easygoing,
It started to appear again.
It was not a simple battle of power.
This is ‘psychological warfare’.
Elwin was waging psychological warfare.
If you want to go higher,
Come here and try to beat yourself.
“You are a wicked man. “A guy named Elwin.”
“Yes!?”
A staff member next to me asked in a puzzled voice.
“Can’t you see that? He made a plan. If you want to kill yourself, come there. “If you don’t have the courage, take a safe victory.”
“Is that so…? Then shall we attack?”
If you have such a deep heart,
They must be preparing a trap of that size.
‘Elwin will want me to attack first.’
However, there is no need to act as he thinks.
“No. We choose safe victory. “Let’s just watch what they do.”

Elwin Unit.
“Lord So, the enemy is not moving.”
“Good. “Hurry up and build a shooting stand!”
There is one reason why it is located on the outskirts of the battlefield.
This is to create a shooting range.
Bows and crossbows can be used to kill.
On the other hand, firearms must only be fired directly.
That is,
You cannot shoot if there is an ally in front of you.
This was especially true if the friendly forces were in a dense formation like a phalanx.
So the method I found was a shooting range.
It is to create an artificial hill in the center of a circular square.
Then you can cross the phalanx over your head and fire at the enemy.
“Hurry! “It needs to be raised by 2m!”
Soldiers scooped up dirt from outside and carried it inside.
Then Elena and her friend hardened the dirt with magic.
The enemy did not move until a shooting platform of sufficient height was created.
