Chapter 649 – Episode 649: Final Skirmish-5
Late afternoon.
Red Union command barracks.
Camilla came to a conclusion and came to the basement.
“Let’s do a night raid.”
“Tell me specifically.”
Underground closed the documents he was looking at and said.
Camilla outlined the operation.
“I researched Endymion in detail. He was not the son of Hedelion’s half-brother, the royal family, so he couldn’t be the heir. Such a person led an army and stood at the forefront… It’s obvious that your resolution will be different.”
“Oh.”
It’s a story he knows, but the underground shed an exclamation.
Isn’t Camilla trying to understand her enemy’s heart right now?
“I would like to show you a room here. However, it is not easy to engineer a crushing victory in a war where our troops are equal in number to ours. Then you want to make them feel like they won.”
“Are you talking about something? Go on.”
The basement turned out to be quite enjoyable.
A bewitching female general in a military uniform was performing maneuvers, and every word of her experience came out.
“To put it simply… No, even if it’s hard to say, you’ll understand. You’ll want to show condescension to your subordinates and your own gang. It would be nice if it was a very overwhelming achievement, but it would be dangerous if you forgot all your money. After all, Endymion is not the commander of that army right now. He was only temporarily entrusted.”
“Yeah, so?”
“So you want to solidify your position by setting up a small ball, a small but sure ball. Therefore… I will do a night raid.”
Her basement nodded at Camilla’s conclusion.
“Is that the end of the grounds?”
“This is the nature of the enemy, the base of the enemy. The geography of the nearby area must be clear. On the other hand, we’ll think we’ve come a long way and we’re tired, and to some extent we’re right. According to the common strategy, they would attack us at night with a small number of troops and try to rob us.”
“So what is the solution?”
“Didn’t I tell you from the beginning? We raid at night too.”
Camilla put on her long-awaited confident smile.
The original appearance of her, the figure of a female general who dominates and seizes her soldiers is revealed.
“The route has already been investigated. Night raids are best done with a small number of troops, but we split them in half. I lead half of my troops, and you are guarding half of my troops here.”
“What about the enemy?”
“The enemy will not send much. Maybe around 3,000 at most? When the enemy attacks at night, we surround them and quickly wipe out their troops. After that, I disguise myself as a soldier of the city federation and rob the main unit of the enemy.”
Camilla recalled her delightful smile.
“If it’s only around 3,000, you, me, and the soldiers can handle it right away. It won’t take long. Enemies won’t be suspicious of it, and they’ll be smashed to death.”
“What if the enemy is cautious and doesn’t attack at night?”
“We can just raid the night as planned. They say that they didn’t think that the smaller number of us would launch a night raid as soon as we arrived.
As Camilla laid them out in order, her basement nodded her head.
“Good. Move the soldiers as you wish. Go to Brang and ask for his cooperation.”
“Yeah, do it right.”
Camilla proudly bowed her head and turned around.
After being properly broken by the underground, the female general, who had been subtly withdrawn, regained her vitality.
Originally, Camilla’s army commanding ability was quite outstanding. Among her underworld minions, her military prowess alone puts her within three fingers.
‘Torai and Camilla too… He’s got the military constitution.’
The basement smiled contentedly.
She also breaks enemies that break them, but she’s pretty happy that Camilla has found her own.
You can expect to be active in the war against the remaining purples.
“Heaven’s times and earth’s advantages…”
Heaven and earth people.
It is the time of the sky, the reason of the earth, the harmony of people, and the basics of strategy.
As Camilla said, the city federation had two advantages.
The Red Union had just arrived in the vicinity of Helao and his soldiers were exhausted. And as for the surrounding geography of Helao, he knew no more than the city confederates.
But Endymion missed one.
Unity of people.
Underground was intended to use Camilla to attack the enemy.
The time of the sky and the advantage of the earth are broken by night raids and people’s harmony.
At dawn.
Endymion led a night raid with 3,000 horsemen.
“Whoops…”
Endymion was smiling confidently.
The female knight who followed him, Schiele, tried to follow him, but Endymion stopped him.
What if something happens to the main unit while he is gone? He insisted that there be trusted henchmen in case other lords of the castle might think wrongly.
Schiele was the partner Endymion grew up with since childhood. Although he was a bastard, he had the lineage of the lord of the castle, the daughter of a knight, and the relationship between master and servant, but Endymion considered him closer.
It’s not a male-female relationship yet. But it could have been if he had taken a more prominent position.
The lord of Hellao is his younger brother, Hedelion. This does not change
‘But there is no law that says only my younger brother should be in the castle…’
Isn’t the era a turbulent era, an era in which the Blue Seal collapses and the Red Union rises?
Apparently, the ruler of the Red Union, Chief Jiha, was originally a commoner.
He had a low life, and now he is the most famous man in the world.
Isn’t there a law that says Endymion shouldn’t be like that?
‘Yes, this is an opportunity…’
Endymion suppressed his excitement and looked ahead.
Jin of the Red Union was getting closer.
Tomorrow, as if they were planning to properly encamp in a place where the walls of Hellao could be seen, it was just a barracks.
“They run in and kill whatever they find, and when I give a signal, they leave right away.”
“All right.”
“I already said, but there are no uniques or legends inside. So you can rest assured.”
Endymion raised his hand vigorously as he spoke.
When this arm was lowered, it signaled a charge, and when the mounted soldiers made nervous faces, Endymion vigorously lowered his arm.
“Charge!”
The soldiers roared and charged forward.
Do-do-do-do-do!!
The cavalrymen charge and destroy the barracks. The faces of the city federation soldiers who were violently wielding their spears gradually hardened.
No one sees
I heard that there were 30,000 Red Union soldiers, but not a single ant was seen.
“Lord Endymion.”
“This is kind of strange.”
“…”
As his men swayed with one word, Endymion’s face hardened.
Something is wrong.
“I get it. Get out…”
Endymion, who was about to speak to his men, heard a noise in his ears.
It’s footsteps
Bubbly.
It was a man in a red coat, walking calmly on a moonlit night.
Even if you look at it, it’s a red union person, but the cavalrymen of the city federation couldn’t move quickly.
It was because the man walking alone towards the 3,000 cavalry was too leisurely.
“… Who are you?”
“What would you do if you knew?”
The red coat, the basement, answered.
“…”
Endymion frowned at him and glanced around.
Dealing with it meant that the two cavalrymen jumped out with great force.
“Yaaaaa!!”
It was a long-awaited surprise attack, but it went well in a situation where it was regrettable to return empty-handed.
The opponent was an infantryman, but the city alliance soldiers expected that two cavalrymen would step on them.
Flash!
However, it was the neck of the horse and the torso of the rider that caused the fountain of blood.
Jiha flung lightly, slashing the neck of a horse and the body of a person running in front of him, and swung his sword once more as he fell, cutting down another cavalryman.
The power of a super jump, but from the looks of others, it seemed like the basement suddenly jumped, and blood fountains arose in an instant.
Fluffy!!
It wasn’t until the basement landed that the corpses of horses and men rang out.
“…”
The soldiers of the city federation, Endymion, could not hide their surprised faces.
“You’re not an ordinary guy.”
The soldiers didn’t know, but Endymion recognized that the underground had a special ability, that it had magical powers.
Underground clicked his tongue.
“Are you sick?”
“…”
“Why are you curious about my identity in this situation? I shouldn’t be curious.”
“What?”
Endymion answered unconsciously.
“Why am I here alone? You should be curious about that.”
“…”
Endymion and his soldiers unwittingly listened to the words of the underground.
The basement is so relaxed, and it’s hard to stop talking midway when someone who knows the situation starts talking.
Maybe new information will come out?
“They said that if I went out alone, you guys would look down on me and not go back. I am here because I agree.”
“… Where are the rest?”
Endymion belatedly asked.
Jiha pointed his finger at them.
Pointing, Endymion was displeased, but Jihaga grinned.
“After you guys.”
“What?”
Do-do-do-do-do!!
At that moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the city federation collapsed in an instant from the rear.
“Aaaaagh!”
A group of horsemen who suddenly appeared were cutting down the riders of the city federation.
“Ugh!?”
Recognizing that the waving red flag was the army of the Red Union, Endymion’s face twisted.
When he determined that the raid had been read, he had to get out right away.
However, the retreat was delayed by the sudden appearance of that strange red coat and a few words.
In that gap, the Red Union came in!
“Let’s go back! Clear the way!!”
Endymion gritted his teeth and turned his horse’s head.
It was a situation in which he came for an ambush and suffered the reverse, a failure that would be severely reprimanded if he returned, but that was after he was safe.
Right now, when risking their lives to open a retreat, but at that moment, the underground started talking.
“Would you like to go back after seeing me? Didn’t you come to kill me?”
“Go…”
Endymion, who ignored and tried to command his soldiers, hesitated.
A man in a red coat?
Endymion glanced back as if he had seen a ghost.
“No way… An underground god?”
“Yes, it is me.”
Endymion looked down into the basement with trembling eyes.
Is the raid a failure? He is a great success if he only decapitates the underground.
Is there a neck more valuable than the underground in Wordsland right now? At least not for the city federation.
It was tantamount to having half the world in your hands if you cut the head underground.
“Just go?”
“…”
Endymion gazed greedily into the basement.
If only I could catch the underground in this spot, if I could, I could turn my life around.
“Lord Endymion!”
“We must retreat! Come on!!”
The cavalrymen of the city federation fought desperately, but they were heavy. I was ambushed and there were too many enemies.
If this is the case, it will be annihilated.
Even though his men desperately called, Endymion could not take his eyes off the underground.
“… All troops, assault!! That man is an underground god!! All I have to do is kill him!!”
“…”
It looks like everyone is going to die now, so you’re charging?
Going to catch the underground meant digging deeper into the enemy camp, and in a situation where the rear ranks were being destroyed, it was an act of complete recklessness.
As the cavalrymen hesitated, Endymion let out an angry roar.
“You fools!! If you kill him, this war will end!! Hurry!!”
“… Oh, I see.”
“Let’s go everyone!!”
Most of the agitated cavalrymen, about a thousand, charged all at once aiming for the underground.
No matter how big the underground is, it will not be able to deal with 1,000 horsemen at once.
“Yes, the next land.”
And the basement spread its wings and flew upward.
“…”
The cavalrymen of the City Federation, who had become like dogs chasing chickens in an instant, looked up in a daze.
Of course, they did not prepare for the Great War.
Some brought bows, but was it easy to hit a bird in the sky?
“Shoot, shoot! Shoot!!”
Endymion, who made a sudden stop, shouted as if vomiting blood. It was a bad joke that if you could get the throat of the underground, you could overturn everything.
Following the order, some of the horsemen hurriedly raised their bows, but it was too late.
“Waaaaa!!”
The cavalry of the Red Union broke through the back row and swept away the cavalry of the City Federation.
It was clear that victory and defeat were obvious.
The underground floating in the night sky watched the victory of the allies.
Sometimes, shouldn’t subordinates be given a chance to lead?
