“The hill has been occupied by our enemies . ”–Almus

“Well, they planned to wait at ease till we are exhausted . ”–Almus

I looked at Rozel’s army, which is deployed on the hill . Although it is a hill, there’s no distinct difference in altitude .

Still, in warfare, it is obviously more advantageous to take the higher position .

Gravity will bring enormous impact force with them, which is nearly unstoppable .

“Almus, we have finished investigating the military structure of our enemies . –Lulu

Lulu handed me the report .

“With the addition of the soldiers who were previously defeated by us, the overall force of Rozel will reach 32,000 men, 30,000 of which are infantry and 2,000 are cavalry . Nearly 7000 of the infantries are slaves . Besides those, they have 60 elephants . ”–Lulu

As expected, Rozel has more soldiers . Moreover, compared to us, they, Gallians, are stronger and more valiant .

That means Rozel’s infantry is stronger than ours .

We have 13,000 infantry and 4,500 cavalry .

Stronger cavalry but weaker infantry .

For the final victory, we have to deal with their elephants first .

“My king, I will come back with a victory and erase the disgrace from last time!” –Bartolo

“I’m counting on you, Bartolo . Waiting for your good news . ”–Almus

The war started with the emissary exchange .

Both sides tried to make the other side surrender . .

Obviously, that’s impossible .

The standoff lasted for three days .

Both forces attempted to find the weaknesses of the other until rain fell .

There is little rain in the Adernia Peninsula .

Because of that, soldiers have no experience fighting in such bad weather .

Just like how we won’t play baseball on a rainy day, it is better to avoid fighting in the rain .

But General Curiu won’t think so .

“Prepare! The war is going to start! Coat your skin with oil . ”–Curiu

“It has started . ”–scout

I read the report from the sorcerers .

Fortunately, we didn’t let our guard down even on a rainy day . However…

”Why did Curiu choose a rainy day to start the war? There must be some special reason . ”–Almus

Fighting in such bad weather would be harmful to both forces . Normally, such a risky strategy would be avoided .

“My king, they started to move . ”–Bartolo

“I know . Have you figured out why Curiu chose to move on a rainy day?”–Almus

Bartolo fell into silence .

There must be a special reason .

”What do you think, king? . ”–Bartolo

“I have no idea . ”

I answered quickly . Bartolo smiled and pointed at the ground .

I turned my vision to the ground . The heavy rain turned the ground into mud . It’s difficult for us to pull our boots out of the mud .

En? Something is strange .

Oh! I’ve got it .

”Countermeasure for our cavalry?”–Almus

“Yes . In such bad weather, it is already hard for a human to walk on mud, even more so for those heavier horses . It’s a good chance for Rozel to decrease our cavalry’s mobility . Although it’s also bad for their elephants, they are using the elephants as a tool for defense and their main force is the infantry . Obviously, compared to the cavalry, there would be less influence to the infantry . And Rozel has stronger infantry . ”–Bartolo

Ah! This is General Curiu .

What an excellent strategy!

”The other reason…”–Alexios

Alexios interrupted me with a smile .

Well, normally, it’s impolite to interrupt a king .

But I don’t care .

“Do you have another idea?”–Bartolo

“Well, besides that, there’s another reason . ”–Alexios

Although a little impolte, Alexios is also an excellent commander .

At such an urgent time . We need more suggestions .

Bartolo and I turned to Alexios .

”The other reason?”–Almus

“The explosive spears . On such a rainy day, the gunpowder will be drenched and won’t ignite . In this way, we can’t use the explosive spears . ”–Alexios

The detonators of the explosive spears were produced by Tetra’s magic . Gunpowder is sealed inside perfectly and can’t be drenched by the rain .

In the first place, I have created a weapon that won’t be influenced by the weather .

However, General Curiu has no idea about this .

It’s not surprising for him to think like Alexios .

”Of course, it’s just my guess . I don’t think General Curiu will do a risky move just because of these speculations . ”–Alexios

“No, it’s a great guess . I see . We also have to start our preparation right away . ”–Almus

We won’t fail this war just because a sudden rain .

Our Allied Forces is formed by arranging the infantry in the center in order to prevent General Curiu in attacking the middle . The Equus cavalry is divided equally on the left and right wings for surrounding our enemies .

A formation for surround and annihilate .

On the other hand, for maximizing the impact force, Rozel put their 40 elephants in the center . The whole formation was like an arrow .

The rest of the elephants were arranged on both wings for defense . Behind the elephants were light infantry and cavalry .

As usual, both forces started with spears, arrows, and stones .

Both the Allied Forces and Rozel sent thousands of soldiers . They are having a desperate fight under the heavy rain .

Soldiers raised their shields and defended against most of the stones .

But the heavy shield can’t be used to defend against arrows and spears . Those soldiers who lost their shields have to move back slowly .

After that, the main force began to move .

Allied Forces’ cavalry first clashed against Rozel’s elephants, cavalry and light infantry .

Our heavy infantry stopped Rozel’s drug-using slave army . The two sides exchanged fires fiercely and our heavy infantry gradually gained the upper hand .

By this time…

“Sha! Sha! Sha!! ”–slaves

“Wuhaaaaaa!!!”–slaves

The slaves fell into complete madness and started charging towards our heavy infantry .

They had lost their sensitivity to pain and there’s no fear of death in their eyes .

Facing those living dead, our soldiers got scared .

”What the hell is wrong these soldiers?”–Allied Force

Disgusting!”–Allied Force

It seems that our heavy infantry is going to be engulfed by Rozel’s .

Although we defeated nearly 1/3 of the slaves, these soldiers similar to the living dead were still charging nonstop .

It was at this time when the slaves suddenly fell into panic .

”Shit! Little bitch…”–Mari

Mari sweared . She and her sorcerer army remotely controlled the mental situation of the slaves .

But the connection was broken It was obviously interfered with .

(Actually, I heard the Allied Forces has a good sorcerer called Julia . )

“Pay more attention . It’s impossible for my pupils to be defeated by a nameless sorcerer! Class B, C, and D, continue to maintain the connection . Class A and me will start to attack the enemies . ” –Mari

”Well, it’s harder than I thought . ”–Julia

It’s difficult to cut down the connection between the enemies and the slaves, but Julia set her connection to the slaves quickly .

Julia felt a little upset at her lack of experience .

”That’s enough, Julia . It’s already good that we were able to interfere with the enemy . Almus will do the rest . ”–Tetra

Tetra encouraged Julia . Tetra also participated in the attack as a sorcerer .

Although, her magic is more suitable for weapon production rather than fighting in the frontline .

”We fight as a team! Come on everyone!”–Allied Forces’ Sorcerers

Our sorcerers cheered themselves in a loud voice .

Sorcerers are not less important than soldiers in the frontline .

”Julia-sama! The enemy’s counterattack is coming!”–Lulu

“All right, Lulu, prepare!” –Julia

“Got it! Go to hell!”–Lulu

Lulu held her head high and said .

However, due to the fierce attack of the enemies, our sorcerers, including Lulu, were gradually cursed and fell down .

”Unn…I’m dizzy . Julia-sama, we cannot hold on for more than 5 minutes . ”–Lulu

“It’s getting ready soon! Come on girls, let’s fight with our husbands!”–Julia

Julia also fought back with the headache and smiled to the sorcerers .

Including herself, most sorcerers here have already married .

For their husbands who were fighting in the frontline, they won’t fall easily .

The didn’t know how much time has passed . When Julia and her teammates nearly fell down, Soyon arrived and shouted . She worked in reconnaissance .

”They moved! The elephants in the center have moved . ”–Soyon

Finally, the headache disappeared . Which means that the enemy’s sorcerers have lost control of the slaves .

“Ahh…am I dying?”–Allied Force Sorcerers

All of them fell into the mud .

”Calm down! No matter what they are, separate their head from the body and they will die!”–Almus

I shouted and encouraged my soldiers .

Divine Blessing of Royalty stabilised and improved my soldiers’ mental situation .

Fear comes from uncertainty of the unknown . It happens to all of us .

For them, those fearless soldiers who were like the living dead were unknown .

”Haaaaaa!”

I beheaded an enemy . He still smiled even though he had died .

How disgusting!

”My king, are you charging to the front too much?”

A soldier was surprised, as well as worried .

I smiled and answered .

”No, you guys are too slow! Everyone, follow me! I am the son of the warlord! We are unstoppable!”–Almus

Hearing that, and with my Divine Blessing, our Allied Forces have never been more excited .

”This feeling!! Don’t forget!!”

“Follow our king!!!”

“God is with us!!”

Our soldiers raised their weapons again and the formation that was pushed back is now reformed .

”Well done, my king!”

“Well, contribution belongs to everyone . ”–Almus

I saw that even the enemies were getting sluggish .

For the fear of death, they began to get rid of the drug’s effect .

More like a human rather than a monster .

It’s the evidence that Julia broke off their control from the enemies’ sorcerers .

Out of all the difficulties, a messenger came to me .

”What happened?”–Almus

“Rozel’s elephants have moved! It seems that they’re going to charge toward our middle . ”–the herald

Curiu finally took action .
