Chapter 401 – Chapter 401 Counter Attack-19
Command barracks for the Demon Army.
The chiefs reported the achievements of the past few days to Camilla.
“While destroying five villages and two cities, the enemy remained invisible.”
“Maybe they retreated to Gadeon?”
Following Camilla’s instructions, the demons flocked in groups of thousands and trampled on nearby cities and villages.
I deliberately didn’t kill them all, but let some of them live to spread rumors.
“Hmm…”
For the past few days, the underground and its army have not shown a tail.
Did he back down as he had speculated?
The 15,000 who went to Larussa focused on the siege of Asira.
The only thing Camilla could use was the 20,000 she brought with her, Camilla asked as she engraved that fact.
“What about Fargol and 3,000?”
While burning villages, he separated 3,000 soldiers and directed them to Gadeon first.
It was a scout and an advance team preparing for a siege.
“We kept in touch, but we arrived in front of Gadeon without any problems. We are waiting for orders.”
“Tell them to start right away. The main unit will be leaving soon, so until then, pay special attention to your surroundings.”
“All right.”
Camilla thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“The Underground God did not return to Gadeon. You must be looking for an opportunity.”
“Not without reason…”
The chiefs who were kneeling did not immediately believe it.
If you haven’t seen a tail in the past few days, you have to assume that you have entered the garden.
Camilla Storm Rider, an elegant beauty in a tight-fitting military uniform, shakes her head.
“Because he can’t just go to war. My position is different.”
If you slaughter civilians like Camilla, of course, public sentiment will not follow.
Does not matter. After all, isn’t she a politician?
Post-processing and dealing with public sentiment are things that Cheon-ho and the children under him have to do on their own. It has already been so contracted.
Camilla only had to smash the Red Union, and all she had to do was raise her name.
“He is the one who rose up to achieve power. If you look at his actions so far, politics is war, and war is politician men. If you abandon the nearby villages, future occupation activities will be difficult…”
Following the Red Union, the village is burned.
But what if rumors spread that the Red Union doesn’t take care of the occupied territories? In the future, underground conquest activities will face difficulties.
“Because he came all the way here, he is full of ambition. But because of his ambition, he can’t let go of the things he’s clutching. He’ll keep looking at our gaps. So we dry it up and kill it steadily and step by step.”
Camilla laughed.
“In the end, what is urgent is the Red Union. Not us.”
The reconnaissance unit suffers. It is irritating and hurts one’s self-esteem from the position of leading an army.
But it’s a trick anyway, the underground army can’t afford to face the 20,000 army head-on.
“When Fargol and 3000 start attacking Gadeon, Red Union has no choice but to reveal its true colors. He must have been embarrassed to know that he had already gone right in front of Gadeon…”
“I will report you!! Lasha’s 3,000 troops went to attack the small city of Hanenbal! We are fighting!”
When the messenger ran into the barracks and shouted, Camilla laughed.
“Look, it came out.”
“Reinforcements requested! Hurry up and send reinforcements!!”
“Don’t worry. I’m leaving right now, so just hold onto it…”
If the underground springs out, of course, I will trample it with all my troops.
Camilla’s words broke the messenger’s voice.
“That’s not it!!!”
“… What?”
Demons who are sensitive to rank do not carelessly do this to their superiors.
Even if I die, I have nothing to say.
In fact, the complexion of the chiefs changed dramatically with the messenger’s tone.
Camilla, who crossed her legs, shook her hand to calm the generals’ excitement.
“Tell me right. Isn’t that what it is?”
“The number of troops encountered at Hanenbal is 4,000! The enemy is the unique succubus, Yura Highred!! Lasha’s army is being pushed back! Hurry up and send reinforcements!!”
“…”
The longevity’s complexion changed at the sudden appearance of the name.
Wasn’t Yura guarding Gadeon? When did he come out?
“Four, four thousand?”
If Unique was there, it was only natural that the 3,000 demons would be pushed back.
While everyone was agitated, only Camilla remained calm.
“What about the other Uniques and Underground Gods?”
“I do not know! Nothing confirmed!!”
“Okay, I’ll discuss and act, so wait.”
“Yes!”
As the messenger hurriedly withdrew, Camilla was lost in her thoughts.
The chiefs talked busily.
“Why is Yura suddenly popping out? Wasn’t she at Gadeon?”
“Wasn’t she a very demure character? He’s a kid who couldn’t speak properly behind Ashira-sama…”
“That modest and modest young lady leads the army?”
All the demons were well aware of Yura.
Taktak.
Camilla slammed her baton lightly into her armrest.
No small talk, the chiefs quickly changed their discussion.
“But 4,000 troops, how did this happen?”
“You guessed that the army led by the underground god was between 2,000 and 4,000, right? The head count is not wrong.”
“Anyway, let’s send reinforcements.”
A young demon shouted at Camilla.
“Miss Camilla! If you drop me 3,000 soldiers, I will go and put the war to a stalemate!”
“I allow it. Good.”
Yura and her 4,000 enemy troops, but with 6,000 demon troops, it would be possible to hold on even if you couldn’t win.
As soon as the young demons ran out, the chiefs continued their discussion.
“But where is the Underworld God?”
“Isn’t it because he entered the garden? Anyway, I sent Unique to protect the village.”
“Then aren’t you saying that there are no uniques in Gadeon right now? Let’s go capture it!”
“It could contain a unique Barjet.”
“Anyway, didn’t you finally see the back of the enemy? It’s time to wage a war worthy of war!”
Her generals raised their voices and looked at Camilla.
She looked forward to what decision Camilla, her commander, would make.
“Bo, I will report you!!”
Then the messenger ran in.
The longevity’s complexion changed at the sight of their hasty appearance and bloody appearance here and there.
I mean, where did the change come from?
“The supply unit has been attacked! The enemy general has named himself Barjet Darhk! All food and hay have been taken away!!”
“What?”
“You’re attacking a supply ship? Where do the replacement troops come from?”
“Mo, I don’t know! An estimated 1,000 to 1,500 troops!”
When Unique tried to cut off the supply line himself, the supply unit had no choice but to be defeated.
“We have to go get them!”
“We need to increase the number of escorts in the supply unit! I will lead 3,000 people out!”
“…”
Camilla sighed and only nodded her head.
The longevity who had been given permission jumped out and the chiefs were perplexed.
In preparation for the siege, enough hay and food were brought. It doesn’t make you dizzy right away, but it’s dangerous if this happens over and over again.
“I’m sure you’re aiming for a supply ship. What is this?”
“Why did we get hurt?”
“That’s because they didn’t send a reconnaissance unit…”
“I got hit.”
When Camilla spoke, everyone fell silent.
Camilla clicked her tongue as she stroked her chin.
“… He’s a really smart guy. Gentlemen, we were completely beaten.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’ve been calculating this since I cut off the reconnaissance unit.”
The longevity’s complexion changed.
Camilla had pinpointed exactly what was going on.
Lack of information.
As she refrained from sending out scouts, information about the geography and circumstances of her surroundings became scarce.
And Red Union dug into that gap.
“Ha, but we still have a lot of troops!”
“The battlefield is foggy, and the initiative has passed to them. The map doesn’t look right.”
Camilla laughed.
“But they want us to flounder. Gentlemen, the current situation is embarrassing, but not expected. As we destroyed villages and cities, we couldn’t stand it and moved first. Now it’s our turn to make moves.”
At Camilla’s words, the chiefs’ faces became cold.
Suddenly, uniques appeared on both sides, so he was distracted, but on the contrary, the enemy’s movements were exposed.
“There are now 5,000 remaining troops, so I go to Gadeon and join Fargol. There won’t be uniques in Gadeon. If they hear that we’re attacking Gadeon, Barzette and Yura will have to stop what they’re doing and retreat. If Gadeon is threatened anyway, the Red Union will have no choice but to react.”
“But there is Yegrina…”
“We have already done rigorous training to catch Unique. If that doesn’t work…”
Camilla flicked her sword at her waist.
“I will deal with Yegrina myself.”
Unique is strong, but in the end, the magical power is only infinite.
Wouldn’t it be enough to cut the neck in a short-term decisive battle?
Camilla, who had roamed the battlefield in all directions since her days in the Millennium War, was confident in her own skills.
Even though she couldn’t face Ashira directly due to the people around her, she said that she would never be pushed back in a one-on-one duel.
She was confident to slit her throat, a young chick unaware of the Millennium War.
This was an opportunity to prove it.
Dawn.
Aiming for Gadeon, 5,000 soldiers led by Camilla are camped out.
There was someone watching the camp from the top of the hill.
It was underground.
Legin, who was standing next to him, asked, puzzled.
“Are you really coming here? How does the captain know everything?”
“That woman thinks that if Gadeon is captured, it will be over for her. You think I’m cheating.”
Regin was puzzled.
“Why do you believe so? Can’t we just gather information?”
“I can’t do that.”
Reconnaissance and scouting can’t be sent out because they are scared because of the technique Jiha used in the beginning.
Are you sending it out now?
“Are there any civilians who would be cooperative with those who destroyed towns and cities?”
“…”
Rumors spread that the demon army had indiscriminately slaughtered civilians.
Of course, the antipathy was strong, and there was no one who would answer meekly when the demons came and asked.
Camilla threatens to provoke the underground, destroying the stronghold, but at the same time she misses an opportunity to get a local informant.
Moreover, she secretly distributed money to the civilians who had been affected by the underground and promised to restore them.
“The hair is pretty good, but…”
Underground laughed.
What is the most important thing in military action?
Morale of soldiers? Weapon? Supply? Everything is right But it should all be based on accurate information.
The massacre of the scouts in the beginning of Underground Street and the neglect of the demons raiding the village were all in order to limit the routes for the demons to obtain information.
“Captain, you really are a scary person.”
Regin stuck out his tongue.
Camilla judged that there was no problem because she had a lot of military experience and was superior in numbers to the disciplined demon army.
A few basements were higher.
“But there are still more soldiers than us, right?”
Underground gave the Dark Elves soldiers cloth and had them attack the supply line.
Currently, the number of soldiers under direct control is only 2,000, while Camilla’s number is 5,000.
Even if they attacked the sleeping soldiers, the number was doubled, considering that the opponent was a demon, the burden was heavy.
“So I added one more command.”
Sudden! Sudden!!
As the sleeping demon soldiers woke up after lighting a fire, a commotion broke out in the camp.
Fires are burning everywhere. As Regin watched, the demon army moved in a complex manner, and then a group of troops began to move.
Underground counted the soldiers running forward.
“About two thousand. We now have 3,000 troops left. 2,000 for us, is it worth a try?”
“What the hell did you use?”
“I picked 30 centaurs and made them raid at night. After shooting flaming arrows and making noise, Camilla must have said this? Follow it while paying attention to surprise. Beware of her ambush and never enter the danger zone.”
“…”
“The demon army is outnumbered. But the Red Union… There are a lot of uniques.”
Underground laughed.
In small skirmishes, Red Union with Unique is much stronger.
So Camilla couldn’t even send out proper reconnaissance, and she had to move at least two thousand every time she moved her soldiers.
As the soldiers pursuing the centaur disappeared, the basement beckoned.
Soldiers waiting under the ridge start to come up.
Jiha looked down at the demons in front of the army.
The soldiers woke up from a night raid shuddered in bustle, but remained calm as there was no damage.
“Let’s go clean up.”
Underground horse kicked in the belly.
This is a real surprise.
It was a blow that took the enemy’s breath away.
