Chapter 211 – Chapter 19 – Civil War
The main army of Aupen and the middle army of the Demon King’s army led by Yulia collided as they were.
With a tremendous roar, the most important units of the two armies clashed with tremendous force without looking back to decide the direction of the battle.
In terms of numbers, the anti-demon faction clearly has the upper hand, but in terms of quality, the demon lord is not easily defeated.
Thanks to this, the battle seemed to end soon, but it continued quite tight.
“Push! Take it down!!”
When formation and formation collide, then the ability of each soldier and mutual trust become important.
If the soldier next to you gets scared and leaves, the fear spreads all over the place, and soon everything collapses.
Even if a spear flew into my neck and knocked me down, I had to keep my seat.
And if there is a vacancy, it will be filled by others.
Waaaaa!!-
Shouts and shouts from all directions cover everything.
With one side determined to die if defeated, and the other with the expectation that if they win, they can become new protagonists in establishing a new king, everyone wields their swords and holds their shields firmly.
“My soldiers! Everything depends on this single battle! Punish that heinous traitor and remain as the guardian of the royal family that will go down in the history of the East! Give me a little more strength!!”
Yulia came right in front of the battle in full swing and commanded the front line.
Her other subjects were worried about her that she might get hurt, but it soon became clear that such worries were futile.
Shuuk! Shook!-
The moment the arrows that could not be blocked are directed towards Yulia.
The tiger’s beastman flew in with both eyes flashing and knocked it off in an instant.
He even held one of them in his hand in an intact state.
After that, Yulia walked around the front line very leisurely, then looked back and smiled.
“You’re going through a lot, Kaela Warriors.”
“Majesty. The front line is dangerous. I’m cautiously telling you why don’t you step back a little bit.”
Incidentally, Kaela had made this suggestion to Klaus several times.
Even at that time, he was constantly moving around the front line, sometimes even making a charge, so there was never a day when Kayla felt comfortable.
I know that Klaus’s skills are better than his own, but it’s only natural for me to worry about the commander as a subordinate.
That heart was now turned to Klaus’s lord and also to his own lord, Julia.
But Yulia shook his head slowly.
He knows that if he is really hurt, not just a level of morale falling, but all the soldiers and all momentum gathered under the name of the Demon King may collapse in an instant.
Even so, the reason she stays there is because she wants to put it in her own eyes.
Those who fight on the battlefield where their lives come and go for themselves, and the enemies who try to harm those who are so precious to them, all of that.
“Majesty. Look over there.”
At Kaela’s words, Yulia turned her head and looked at the direction she was pointing.
There, the scene where the left army led by Klaus and another large army of the enemy were in earnest was unfolding.
As the enemy’s troops poured into the right side instead of the left side, the reserve of the left army moved and supported the right side under Klaus’s command as if they had waited.
It didn’t stop there, and it was glimpsed that troops were being sent to the left again, but that part was something neither Yulia nor Caela could understand.
“The left army is holding up better than I thought.”
“It seems that the reserve force is being put in at the right time.”
Then, suddenly, the center of Klaus’s formation seemed to shake for an instant, and the escorts, who were originally supposed to stay at the command post, moved all at once to the right front line.
If those who should always be by the commander’s side move away, that’s one reason.
It is said that their escort target went ahead of them to the frontline where bloody battles were taking place.
“Looks like Klaus is moving directly to the front line. Isn’t that right, Kaela Warriors?”
“… It seems so.”
“My loyal servant fights over and over without taking care of me, but it is more painful for me to stay with my chin in the safe barracks. I think you will understand, Kayla.”
If you’ve had a commander like that, you’ll know why I’m doing this.
And if you’re worried about me, you just have to protect me.
Yulia was saying that, and Caella was also aware of that part, and silently stood by Yulia’s side and quickly checked to see if anything was flying at her.
Wow!!-
Just then, a great shout began to be heard from the south.
The troops of the anti-demon lord faction appeared all at once from the flank of the left army led by Klaus.
It could be said to be fatal for the left army fighting against the army led by Lirio.
All the other servants who saw the scene couldn’t hide the sign that it was a big deal.
If the left army collapses, that means that the flank of the main unit here will also be exposed defenselessly.
In this situation where the front line is still held tight, such a part is directly connected to defeat.
So those worried eyes are natural, but of course you have to worry.
Neither Yulia nor Caela were strangely worried at all.
When the demon king showed such an appearance, the servants under him had no choice but to be silent.
And behind that silence, how much trust he had in Klaus.
Literally, even in a situation of desperate situation, does it show an image of not shaking an inch?
Little by little, such curiosity began to emerge.
Meanwhile, the turmoil that started from the south reached Aupen’s camp.
Even after sending a messenger, the Southern forces, including the Palatinat, did not move, so they were worried that they had moved at the moment they were worried.
‘It’s a little late, but it’s not completely out of time. That’s good enough.’
While Aufen thought so, he expected that his allies would destroy the enemy’s left army as soon as possible and follow that momentum to attack the central army commanded by Yulia.
Seeing Yulia commanding the army from afar, he had a desire to snatch that woman right away and take her away.
In such a situation, the attack that can overturn the whole situation at once began, so how exciting can it be?
The best picture is drawn in Aupen’s head.
The enemy’s left army collapsed like this, and Lirio and the southern troops, who had pushed in as they were, pressed Yulia’s middle army and completely tore it apart.
If the enemy senses defeat and tries to retreat, or if the allies left in the rear try to enter, another card will take away all hope.
They may not know it yet, but this is not all of the troops waiting in the canyon.
To cut the waist of enemies when they enter the canyon and completely trap them inside.
In order to properly utilize the numerical superiority of the troops compared to the Demon King’s army.
In order to completely block the entrance, they even secretly moved some of their troops and put them on standby.
I wondered what would happen if Yulia didn’t come into the gorge.
It could be said that it was the best moment for Aufen as they entered Yulia following Klaus.
Isn’t this what two fish were caught at once by fishing at once?
Thinking so, Aufen was about to issue an order to take a moment to catch his breath and observe the situation in order to make the enemy’s left army collapse as an all-out offensive.
“… This, my!”
The troops he had put on standby in the mountains to the south rushed into the place where his closest aide, Lirio’s army, was located.
What could this mean, that they betrayed themselves and joined Julia?
Caang!-
Throwing away the baton he was holding, Aufen poured out swear words and curses.
He told Ashley of Palatinat everything so that she could understand it.
To ruin gearco work because of a little sadness, there is no place to use it!
Thinking so, Aufen waited for the messengers’ report.
In fact, I already knew that there was a possibility that the Palatinat would betray.
So, between the troops deployed in the mountains to the south, he even placed those who were loyal to him and their troops.
Even if the Palatinath betrays them, there will be no one who will betray them.
He even directly told us to be prepared to prevent any more deserters from appearing.
Unfortunately, the news he was waiting for didn’t come.
There is not a single messenger from the mountains to the south itself.
This meant only one thing, that the entire army in the south had turned around, and that my subordinates had been suppressed long ago, so they couldn’t even play the role of any fence to prevent betrayal.
“Why! Damn it! Fools!!”
That’s how he told me to be prepared while paying attention to caution.
Couldn’t stop traitors and the like, putting the enemy’s side at risk, not the friendly side!
Aufen poured a curse on his subordinates whom he believed in just a moment ago.
After all, Palatinath betrayed that there was no one to trust in the world, and the others couldn’t stop even that small army, so it was really pitiful.
Aufen, who had been clenching his teeth, calmed down his anger by regulating his breathing.
Although the traps placed in the mountains to the south are all broken and useless.
There was still another trap for him, one more dangerous than the army of the southern mountains.
Her own allies who could block the entrance to the gorge and inversely pressurize Yulia’s middle army.
They were waiting in the west direction now, so I just had to call them.
‘Nothing will change anyway. Even if the guys from the mountains to the south turned back, if you add them together, it’s only at the level where my forces and Yulia’s forces eventually become the same. The enemy’s allies couldn’t even enter from beyond the canyon. In this state, if I cut off the entrance to the canyon and my allies enter, the victory will lean towards us again.’
The part that the Demon King’s army is in good training, so it will show a pretty good appearance in battle.
The part that the people assigned to the southern mountains are not yet sure to give their allegiance.
And even the part that the enemies won’t collapse easily, everything is within the expected range.
There is no need to fret, it is the allies who have the advantage anyway, and the enemies are in a disadvantageous position.
It is said that the troop gap has narrowed, but that is only for a short time, and when allies join in, even that goes back to the starting point.
“Send a messenger and tell the troops waiting in the west to immediately cut off the canyon entrance and move. Hit them from the back as quickly as possible and annihilate them from the front and rear.”
“I understand, Your Highness.”
One of Aufen’s subordinates immediately calls a messenger and delivers the news.
There were people who were a little uneasy in the mountains in the south, but people who could still be trusted were placed in the west.
Above all, they placed a large force of loyalists behind them, so if they had a different mind, they would have to push them away and advance.
‘Keep struggling, Yulia. I’m really curious about the look on his face when he was finally caught while resisting like that.’
If I stretch out my hand just a little bit more, I’m close to the moment when I can be caught right away.
It’s not too long now. That sweet dream of being able to climb onto the throne, wrap a rope around Yulia’s neck, and drag her around whether it’s in the Great Hall or in my bedroom!
Aaaaa!!!!-
At that moment, a tremendous shout came from the side.
The sound heard from where Lirio’s army and Klaus’s left army were fighting.
An ominous aura came over Aufen, who noticed that there was an aura of joy and exhilaration in it.
And that ominous energy had to come true.
“Me, Your Highness! It is said that Lirio has been killed in action!”
