93 – Episode 93 Battle of the Plains
Stern continued to watch the Elwin troops.
‘The center keeps getting higher?’
The central part of the enemy, which was initially invisible, began to reveal itself.
‘What are you thinking? ‘I guess I’ll have to go there once the duel is over.’
“Young Master Su, are you leaving it like that?”
“It’s okay. “If you are not lured, no matter how complicated the trap is, it is useless.”
40 Minutes have passed since the duel began.
If the battle continues, the end will be declared within 20 minutes.
Then the trap they worked so hard to create becomes useless.
Another 10 minutes passed.
I saw the examiner standing far away.
They also keep checking the time.
It may not be long before the duel ends.
“Concentrate! “Don’t relax until the battle is over!”
It was said to a soldier,
It was also something I said to myself.
In a very easy situation,
Because the tension was relieved.
When a battle without a single drop of blood is about to end,
A huge noise echoed through the enemy formation.
Quaaang!
“What!? What’s the matter!?”
“Could it be that an enemy ship exploded?”
Is that so?
Have you fallen into a trap of your own making?
But,
A few black dots caught my eye.
“What is that…?”
Cow wow.
Cow wow.
Four black balls.
It fell around.
“What is that? “Send a soldier to check!”
“I understand!”
Before even checking the black ball,
A huge noise occurred again.
Quaaang!
This time, four black balls flew towards our allies.
Like the first time, the three fell in different places,
Cow wow.
“Ugh!”
“aaah!”
The power of the black ball was powerful.
Only a dark line of blood remained where the ball passed.
“Casualties!?”
“There are at least 10 people!”
“Damn it! “Is this the hidden number!?”
As casualties occurred,
It must have been judged as a battle.
The way to win through central control has disappeared.
The bigger problem is,
We have to go there.
I can’t just get hit.
“March!”
“All armies march!”
“March!”
Kwaaang!!
Cow wow.
Cow wow.
This time, two iron balls attacked the soldier.
‘Is accuracy improving?’
“Spread out!”
“All armies spread out!”
“San dog!”
The black ball can only attack soldiers in its path.
In other words, if they spread out, they wouldn’t be able to cause much damage.
“Breaking news!”
“Breaking news for all troops!”
“Breaking news!”
There is still a long way to go.
If you start running already, you will inevitably consume a lot of stamina.
So, we must approach it as breaking news.
Getting closer to a certain distance,
I saw a priest.
“Bless the soldier now.”
“I understand.”
The bodies of the soldiers shone brightly.
From Noble mtl dot com
By putting pressure on the enemy with these,
I will destroy the enemy formation with my knight.
“Charge the entire army!”
“All forces charge!”
“Charge!”
2,000 Soldiers spread out and charged towards the enemy.
Quaaang!
Quaaang!
“aaah!”
“aaah!”
A huge noise is heard,
The soldiers fell in a heap.
“What is this…?”
**
**
Elwin Unit.
The four cannons played a big role.
First, the enemy was made to come with an overwhelming range.
The second and last grapeshot fired caused a large amount of damage.
Grape bullets made by compacting small bullets instead of large bullets.
It was made in a hurry, but the effect was significant.
“Retreat the cannon soldiers!”
“I understand!”
The artillerymen left their cannons and retreated inside the phalanx.
After a while,
Enemy soldiers have come a short distance away.
“Master! “All enemy soldiers have been blessed!”
As expected.
The enemy used blessings on soldiers.
It would have been inevitable to deal with the Phalanx.
It would have been necessary to block the crossbow.
But,
“Fire muskets!”
Ta-ang!
Ta-ang!
The bullet is fired,
The enemy soldiers fell.
“As expected!”
I was able to withstand the crossbow due to the priest’s buff, but it seems like I can’t do that with shooting.
The musketeer who fired stepped back.
They retreated to the rear, and another musketeer stood in front.
150 Musketeers.
We were divided into five units of 30 people each.
This allows you to fire continuously within 10 seconds.
“Fire muskets!”
Ta-ang!
Ta-ang!
The enemies, confused by the gun fire, charged towards the phalanx.
Blessed soldier.
Vs Phalanx without blessing.
Even the soldiers reinforced with the priest’s buff could not break through the Phalanx barrier.
Meanwhile,
Ta-ang!
Ta-ang!
The rifle fire continued.
“In a confrontation between the master and soldiers, our army will win by a landslide!”
“It will move slowly.”
The enemy has core troops remaining.
Article 100.
Now they will move.
“Master! “It’s an enemy knight assault formation!”
As expected.
They can’t just sit there and watch the situation.
“Stop shooting! “Load the muskets and wait.”
The sound of shooting disappears,
The smoke that had clouded the surroundings also became lighter.
“Priest! Bless the mercenary!”
“I understand!”
The enemy used divine power on ordinary soldiers.
On the other hand, we plan to use it against mercenaries.
The priest used blessings,
The mercenary’s body glowed brightly.
“The enemy knight charges!”
The knights formed a triangular formation and ran towards the phalanx.
“Knight Aim!”
The muzzles of 150 guns were all aimed at the knight.
The distance is getting closer,
“Salvo fire!”
Ta-ang!
Ta-ang!
In less than 2 seconds,
Bullets were fired from 150 guns at once.
Smoke from the firearm darkened the surroundings.
Looking ahead covered in smoke,
I remembered the results of the gun power test.
Sword Experts can withstand bullets using mana.
Even the current level of bullets has difficulty penetrating the full plate armor worn by knights.
‘But…’
The smoke thins with the wind.
“Wow!!”
The Phalanx unit shouted first.
Only later did the battlefield become visible.
The result is,
The 20 leading horses fell on the battlefield.
And then the knight’s charge was aborted.
‘Even a knight who can shoot a crossbow will not be able to stop a bullet.’
The bullet is faster.
Moreover, it is small in size.
It would not be possible to stop all 150 bullets that flew like that.
“Inon! “Mercenaries go out!”
The phalanx formation is opened,
150 Mercenaries ran towards the battlefield.
Meanwhile,
The musketeer’s reloading has finished.
“Muslims! “Shot fire at the knight!”
Ta-ang!
Ta-ang!
Before the drivers could even understand the situation,
Once again, 150 bullets flew towards them.
It didn’t hit the knight, but
More than 20 additional horses were killed.
With two salvoes, 50% of the enemy horsemen were rendered incapable of action.
**

Stern’s heart sank when he saw the fallen knight.
“What… What?”
You can lose 2,000 soldiers.
However, you must never lose 100 knights.
Because knights are the foundation of Valois power.
“Right now… Retreat the knight right now!”
Poo-woo!
The sound of horns fills the battlefield,
The knights retreated to their base.
Fortunately, there were no deaths.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m sorry. “Lord So.”
Looking closely, there were no injuries.
Instead, there were several dents all over the armor.
“What happened?”
“I heard a noise, and something very small flew.”
“Something very small? “Why couldn’t the police stop it?”
What is an article?
Isn’t he a being who has overcome human limitations by using mana?
“I’m sorry. One or two could have been prevented, but dozens of them flew at the same time. Moreover, to keep your word…”
Stern raised his head,
I saw the battlefield.
‘What the hell is Elwin?’
How far did you think?
Has this been expected since the Battle of Paonia?
Is that why they hid the power?
‘He is a person with excellent heart.’
“Lord So! “Enemy mercenaries are attacking our archers!”
Even in the short time I had to think, the battlefield was busy.
While our knight retreated,
The enemy attacked our archers with 150 mercenaries.
“If things continue like this, we will be completely destroyed.”
From the beginning, the number of archers was small.
It is too late to come and help them now.
The problem is…
What if they hit the back of the infantry after attacking the archers?
“Lord So! Please give me another chance. “If you use mana, you can even protect your horse.”
Nothing small could penetrate full plate mail.
In other words, not even the knight’s mana can penetrate it.
“Then isn’t the mana consumption large?”
“Enemy weapons have a preparation time. If you block it just once, you can break through the enemy infantry and reach the center in one go.”
It is not an easy method.
I had to break through the enemy at once, swing through the center, and break through again.
“Don’t overdo it. Even if I lose the duel, I can’t lose you guys.”
70 Knights formed an assault formation, mobilizing even the horses from the rear.

Elwin Unit.
“The enemy knight is in charge formation!”
The enemy knights came out again.
There would be no way for them either.
If things go on like this, there will be a winner.
“Muslims! “Reload and wait!”
I expected how the enemies would come out.
This was already mentioned during the strategy meeting.
‘I will make mana tangible and protect even the horse.’
A method that consumes a lot of mana.
However, if you hold out just once or twice, you can successfully attack.
“Enemy knight! “Charge!”
“Muslims! “Knight aim!”
The knights are getting closer,
“Salvo fire!”
Ta-ang!
Ta-ang!
150 Bullets flew towards the knight.
And,
Unlike the first time, not a single horse fell.
As expected, it was protected with mana.
If this happens, you cannot respond with firearms.
Instead,
“Priest!”
Enemy Priest 30 blessed 2,000 soldiers.
On the other hand, 10 friendly priests gave blessings to 150 mercenaries.
A situation where relatively sacred power remains.
The enemy knight’s charge got closer,
Meanwhile, the body of the phalanx soldier over there glowed brightly.
After a while,
Quaaang!!
Quaaang!!
Cannons, gunshots, and other loud noises filled the battlefield.
