Chapter 213 – Chapter 19 – Civil War
“It is an order to block the canyon entrance immediately and strike the enemy from behind.”
“Finally! It’s finally our turn.”
A demon who heard the messenger’s words clenched his fists and shouted happily.
On the contrary, others open their mouths in a voice of a little worry.
“Your Highness’s order came earlier than expected. The soldiers on this side have yet to find a proper seat to hide in this narrow place and have not even had a meal. His Highness knew about it and said he would move the troops a little later.”
“I heard and saw it. What happened to the allies located in the mountains to the south? Does the fact that His Highness gave the order to march in such a hurry even though they were there is something wrong?”
“I don’t know the details, but more than half of the troops in the mountains to the south have betrayed. Currently, they are pushing into the place where Lirio-sama is staying…”
“Hey, then we have to move right away. If you don’t, the main unit will be swept away.”
“Okay. Send a messenger right away to those in the lead.”
Other troops under Aufen, who had been waiting in advance in the canyon, began to move.
Cut off the entrance like this and hit the back of the enemy main force attacking Aufen.
The current situation where the enemies do not even know their location yet.
I wouldn’t have even built a different fence behind the formation, so if I swept down once, everything would be over.
Confident of victory, he was just moving from the western gap.
Before they could go far, they were caught in the narrow gap.
The 1st Army, which had to advance first in the front, had no intention of moving as it stood still.
“What’s going on? Why isn’t the First Army advancing?”
“Send a messenger right away. It could be that they didn’t receive the order to march.”
Since troops were deployed in the gap in the west of the gorge, it was impossible to pass by in the first place.
Because of this, I had to wait impatiently for the 1st Army to move, but when I sent a messenger, the news came back.
“Well, after I returned, they said that I was not ready to go out yet because I hurriedly gave the soldiers meal time. Mealtime is over now…”
“What nonsense! Where are those stupid words! A meal in this urgent time!”
“When the messenger came, surely he gave orders to the 1st Army too? What the hell is going on?”
“It seemed that it would take some time for the army behind it to move, so I tried to move it after feeding the soldiers and waiting. He said he didn’t expect it to come this soon.”
“What a fool!”
Among the members of the anti-demon lord faction who were angry, an expression of “No way” Suddenly spreads.
It was said that half of the people in the southern mountain betrayed Aufen and turned to the demon king.
Thanks to this, the situation was greatly twisted, and Aufen issued a hasty order to advance to the troops waiting in the west earlier than the original time.
It is said that meals were not distributed to the soldiers, but where does the war happen when the time to eat and the time to sleep are separated?
At such a time, at this important moment, rationing meals without reporting.
Are you telling the soldiers that they are not ready to go out because they are calling the ship?
“Group 1! Who the hell is in charge of the 1st team? Who are you doing this for?”
“This is Otto Hadler.”
“If you were Otto Hedler, wouldn’t you be someone who was loyal to His Highness? How could someone who had participated in the Continental War make such a mistake!”
“We are running out of time. Can’t we just skip past the first team?”
I said that because I was in a hurry, but it was impossible in terms of topography, and even if it became a topography, it would be impossible in terms of military discipline.
Everything is arranged so that the 1st group is the first to take the lead, followed by the 2nd and 3rd groups.
In this situation, suddenly passing by an ally for no particular reason could be taken as a part of ‘I will attack you.’
For those who still don’t know if Otto is a traitor or not.
If Otto misunderstands them as traitors and tries to stop them doing something stupid in this narrow space, time will surely slow down even more, so they couldn’t step out recklessly.
It wasn’t until 40 minutes later that they were finally able to move.
At first glance, it might not seem like it was too late, but since the situation on the battlefield was running every few minutes, the time difference was bound to be large.
“Suddenly, what is this?”
“I did it because I was told to eat, but the blade fell.”
“Hey, Otto-sama told us to eat, so there won’t be any problems, right?”
The 1st team was also very embarrassed by the sudden situation.
As a low-end soldier, he ate because he was told to eat, and all he did was wait because he was told to wait.
How things are going, only Otto Hedler, who is in charge of the first team, would know.
“…”
And, Otto Hedler, who is in charge of the first team, was looking at the first team, which was just about ready to go.
With one hand firmly holding a letter from someone.
– No need to overdo it. As far as they can understand, you can just block the road. –
Otto also participated in the Continental Wars.
And then he faced a man who should never have been born as a human.
He should have been born as a demon, so he himself had to follow that man as his lord!
Then Otto heard that the man had left the West and had come to the East.
Not from anyone else’s mouth or rumors, but from a letter sent directly by Klaus.
When he said he was following the current Demon King, Yulia, why on earth? Even while thinking about it, he thought about leaving this place and going under the devil.
However, it had been quite a while since he had been active in the anti-demon lord faction, so no matter how he looked at it, his angles did not come out.
And in the meantime, at the moment when the day when I will finally be able to march out is getting closer.
At that time when the dagger role of waiting in the western gap and suffocating the enemy fell on him.
It was only then that he was able to figure out what the contents of the letter Klaus had sent him to mean.
At first I wondered what the hell he was talking about.
Could it be that he predicted this far? Otto had goosebumps all over his body.
How on earth did he know that he would be entrusted with such a position and sent such a letter?
‘Already Aufen, he has no hope. Klaus, as long as that man has turned to the current demon lord. And now that he has chosen her, I have no reason to be here any longer.’
Although I do not express it outwardly because of my pride.
Like Otto, there are many demons who deeply respect Klaus.
Whether it’s the awe you have as a participant in the Continental War, or the liking that has permeated the hearts of young people by deliberately floating them to cover up their defeat after the war.
In the end, Otto had no doubt that the man would win again.
* * * * * * * * * *
Something went wrong, too big, too much to handle.
If things go wrong, it is normal to see a line where something can be rectified.
In fact, Aufen himself prepared the second and third measures in case the plan went wrong.
It was a battle in which the allies would win unconditionally even if one of the traps dug in advance worked properly.
Right now, the enemy’s allies are still outside the canyon and haven’t even come inside yet.
My main unit is holding up well against the fierce enemy.
On the contrary, if the enemy is pushed back little by little, and if you can drag the time like this a little longer, you will eventually be the winner.
Waaaaa!!-
If it hadn’t been for Lirio’s army, which was protecting my side, being destroyed and routed.
‘Nonsense. It does not make sense.’
Everything was thoroughly ruined, as if God had made fun of him.
Lirio is dead, and his men in the mountains to the south are attacking themselves, not the enemy.
Those who had been placed in advance in preparation for betrayal had all fled and probably had barely managed to get out by now.
Sensing that things had gone wrong, he hurriedly gave orders to the troops waiting in the west to advance.
Originally, the back of the enemy should be in an uproar by now.
So I had to push it at once without missing the opportunity.
No matter how you look at it, there was not even a single ray of confusion in the enemy formations.
This means that the incident happened in the west as well, which was put on standby in advance.
It makes no sense to call it a coincidence, and it makes no sense if it is an enemy trick.
How could he know the arrangement of his allies and be prepared for everything?
It’s not something that even the most intelligent person can do easily.
Only God would make that possible.
“Lirio-sama’s army has collapsed! If we go this way, our side will be fully exposed!”
“Soon our reinforcements will hit the backs of our enemies! We’ll just have to hold on until then!”
As the situation becomes dizzy, even the subordinates cannot hide their bewilderment.
They say that reinforcements will arrive soon, but on the faces of those who say so, the shadow of despair is felt more thickly than the light of hope.
It’s not the end yet, the canyon has open mountain roads everywhere.
The road is rough and narrow, but if you do well, you can get out of this hell.
But to do that, you need a huge bait.
Such a bait that the enemies will be caught here and continue to fight.
In other words, it was said that I had no choice but to leave most of my main unit here.
‘Will he survive or will he be buried here?’
Thousands of soldiers, my strength that can never be gathered again.
Just in case, I put troops for defense in my castle, but that’s really only a handful.
Even if you survive here, you will not be alive, you will never be able to stand up again.
Au Pen closed his eyes tightly and fell into trouble.
Since he was not black-eyed about the battle, he became even more nervous.
Lost, now there is no going back to this, there is no way.
Even if I died here, I would do as much damage as possible and die.
Or was he alive and betting fleeting hopes on uncertain possibilities?
“Aupen Agricio!!!”
Just then, a woman’s shout, amplified by magic, rang out from afar.
The demon lord’s swearing out with accumulated anger and hatred.
The scream pushed Aupen, who had at least kept his senses, into fear.
Is this really the delicate nephew he knew?
Klaus, I never understood why that southern demon would follow such a brat.
If, by any chance, that woman had been deceiving not only herself but also everyone around her.
And if Klaus noticed that and bowed his head right away, the story would be different.
The existence that has been ignored may be a monster that has surpassed itself long ago.
That thought completely destroyed Aupen.
And in the end, he gritted his teeth and made a stupid decision, no matter what.
“… Block the flanks as a reserve. Hold out until reinforcements arrive. If our allies run away, never accept it and maintain your formation first.”
“I understand, Your Highness!”
“Stay here. It is to block the enemies unconditionally so that they cannot come any more.”
That’s why I buy it
