Chapter 248 – Battle to Retake Zenon Plains [Battle of Enakan Plains (12)] *Isabella Illustration (Approx. Exposure Ver.)*

Battle to recapture the Zenon Plain 〈Battle of the Enakan Plain (12)〉

When 4,000 cavalry were seen regrouping according to Tiruen’s orders, the imperial army was also put on alert.

“Your Majesty! It looks like they are planning an all-out attack again! Wouldn’t it be better to retreat from here somehow? If we are not careful, your Majesty and the Empress Dowager’s lives may be in danger!”

When a knight advised him to take refuge, Yuno snorted and walked forward, ignoring him.

Not far away, the Teseito cavalry could be seen with their swords drawn, ready to charge once again, but Yuno turned and looked at his men, raising his voice.

“My soldiers!! We are currently in a great crisis with the enemy hordes in front of us. The enemy is almost ten times our size, and even my loyalist Lord Liechtenauer has been taken prisoner by the enemy. Surely now. Looking at the situation, it can be said that we are at a huge disadvantage, but is this a reason for us to retreat? Should the legionnaires of the Great Balkan Empire run away in front of the enemy?”

Upon hearing that Yuno would take the lead, his soldiers’ morale soared through the sky.

“No!!”

“Even if we die, we will die on the battlefield!”

“It’s a shame for the Balkan heavy infantry to turn their backs on the enemy! We will protect His Majesty the Emperor until the end!”

“There are no proper people among those who only believe in numbers and go at it. There is no need to worry because this is not a big deal!”

The soldiers’ display of courage brought a smile to Yuno’s face, and after looking at Yuria’s worried face for a moment, he made a gesture telling her not to worry, then turned around and looked at the enemy.

“Good!! But you don’t have to protect me. I will fight with you! I will be at the forefront, so all soldiers must fight behind me!! Each person must die before killing more than ten people. No!! I will personally follow you to the afterlife and train you again. I don’t know about you, but do you really understand that I can do that because I have actually gone to the afterlife and met God? ?”

“Puhahahaha! Yes! I understand!

“Guys, did you hear His Majesty’s words? There is a quota of 10 per person! Those who can’t fill it should think about receiving basic training even when they go to the afterlife!!”

The soldiers burst into laughter at Yuno’s words, which were half-truth and half joke, and were able to relieve the tension that remained in their bodies.

And when the Tesseito army began its assault, Mayer, who remained behind, quickly began to lead.

“Destroy all the remaining wagons at the base and build them instead of walls!! Dismantle the tents, lay them on top and set them on fire!! We must slow down the cavalry’s charge!!”

The soldiers moved quickly according to Mayer’s orders, and a large fire wall was instantly erected between the Tesseito army and the imperial army.

“The entire army should form a square between the carriages! The commander of each tenth division should separate his troops and place the healthy men in front of hold shields, and place the wounded in the back to hold spears!!”

Under Mayer’s command, the Balkan troops were redeployed and a blazing barrier was created in front, and the speed of the Tesseito cavalry charging towards the enemy naturally decreased.

“What are you doing! Don’t slow down! Show us the bravery of our Tesseito cavalry!!”

Seeing the soldiers like that, the commanders tried to urge them, but it was no use.

“B-but…”

“The horses don’t listen!! It seems like the horses are scared by the fire set by the enemy!”

It is not easy for even humans to suppress their instinctive fear of fire, and no matter how much training they receive, horses, as animals, have an extreme aversion to fire, so the charging speed of the Tesseito cavalry had to be significantly reduced.”

“Damn it… A chemical engineer… He made me like this with his cowardly moves, and then he did something like that again… I can never forgive him.”

Tiruen, who was watching the situation from behind while healing his injuries, also bit his lip.

The pain of his injuries, his fear of becoming a sexual cripple, and his desire for revenge against his opponent ultimately led him to make the worst decision.

“Make the troops go!! Let’s go and fight the enemy!!”

“Your Excellency! The enemy is heavy infantry! No matter how much our soldiers are equipped with heavy armor, in the Battle of Hama, the enemy’s opponent is…”

“Shut up! The number of enemies is less than 500!! On the other hand, our army has over 4,000 troops. Are you afraid of only 1/10th of the troops?”

“Well, that is…”

One of the staff tried to protest against Tiruen’s words, but they could not overturn the decision of the commander-in-chief, Tiruen, and in the end, the entire Tesseito army began fighting against the Balkan soldiers in square formation.

And it turned out to be the worst result for the Teseito army.

“Kaaaaa!!”

“Damn it, I can’t get through it… Gasp!!”

The cavalry, which had only trained in horseback combat, was no match for the heavy infantry that formed a dense square on a narrow road.

“Damn it, we will open the road!! The soldiers will go through it… Wow!!”

Suddenly!!

“What? Are these guys… Crazy? Are they giving up their advantage and daring to come inside and engage in direct combat with us?”

“Hmph! When there was a melee like before, you guys would have used your advantage in numbers and fought similarly to us, but you should give up the idea that you could do that in a battle like this where you fight in a formation!!”

As the soldiers appeared to be struggling, unable to break through the enemy’s defensive wall, the knights under Tiruen attempted to open a path by crossing the wall of infantry, but Yuno and the Guard Knights at the forefront could not stand still, so the Tesito knights’ attempt It immediately went to waste.

Pow! Pow!!

Moreover, with no one to keep him in check due to Tiruen’s injury, Yuno went on a rampage and slaughtered the Tesseito army soldiers at will.

Hahawhat are you doing Tiru!! Reveal yourself quickly!! If you don’t come out, your soldiers will just die like this!!”

Tiruen gritted his teeth and stood up as he watched nearly ten soldiers fly into the air every time Yuno swung his fist.

“Your Excellency, no!! I’m still injured!”

“If you move now, there is no turning back!! If you don’t do it…”

Tiruen pushed away the staff who were trying to stop him and jumped up from his seat.

“Get out of the way!! Now that it’s like this… I have an idea too!!”

He knew very well that his physical condition was not yet suitable for fighting.

But he had some left, and he moved on to the cart that held the captured Lich Tenauer.

Wow!!

“Kaaaaa!! I definitely got a spear in it…”

“Damn it… The spear knife doesn’t work!! How are you supposed to fight a monster like that!!”

Haha, if you don’t want to die, place Tiruen in front of you!! Hasn’t your injury slowly recovered? Isn’t that right, Duke Tiruen!!”

No matter how much of a master he was, entering the enemy camp alone was a huge risk, but since it was almost impossible to injure Yuno without a knight-level sword, he casually wreaked havoc in the middle of Tesseito’s army. I was looking for Tiruen.

“All troops! Fall back!!”

Meanwhile, an order to retreat was given to the Teseito army, which was struggling due to being blocked by the infantry, and after losing nearly 1,000 troops in a brief battle, they retreated with an expression of relief that they had survived.

And when the Duke of Tiruen appeared in the meantime, Juno stopped massacring the soldiers and slowly approached him.

“Hmm? Tiruen? Are you finally thinking about fighting again? I felt sorry for Jim earlier… But that can happen during a duel… Isn’t that the case? Haha,”

Tiruen barely held back his anger at Yuno’s shameless face.

“… Shut that mouth!! You cowardly attacked the man’s vital area and killed me…”

“Hey~ Jim, as a man, knows that pain well. But anyway, it’s temporary pain, and it’s not a big problem… Hmm?”

As Yuno continued speaking, it was only when he saw Tiruen’s expression that he realized something was wrong.

“Uh… No way… Isn’t it?”

“I told you to shut up!! I will make you guys pay for your sins!!”

Taaak!!

Tiruen could not finish his sentence and signaled to the knights behind him.

Then, Lichtenauer appeared, tied up and unconscious from drugs, and a sharp knife was pointed at his neck.

“I feel like I want to cut off this guy’s head right now and cut off your emperor’s head too… But I can’t do that…”

Tiruen showed signs of regaining his senses by suppressing his anger, but Yuno’s face changed from an apologetic expression to a completely cold expression.

“… What are you planning to do with me now? Lord Tiruen. Are you taking a hostage on the battlefield and threatening me with that?”

“Originally, I had planned to capture you and the Empress as prisoners, but since I failed because of your cowardice, I thought I should achieve at least a little. Emperor! If Lord Liechtenauer’s life is a waste, give up the Plain of Zenon!! Zenon If you give up, take over the military, and sign a 5-year peace agreement, I will send you back without doing anything to Liechtenauer!!”

“How dare you make such a cowardly threat with the lives of my subjects…”

The Tesseito army was overcome with extreme fear as Yuno exploded his entire body’s mana with extreme anger.

It was the same for the knights who were aiming their swords at Liechtenauer’s neck, but they gritted their teeth and withstood Juno’s momentum, pressing down slightly on the sword in his hand.

As the knights’ sword slightly cut into the leather of Liechtenauer’s neck and a single drop of blood flowed out, Juno had no choice but to lose his momentum.

“Now you understand the situation, right? Give up Zenon and step away! Otherwise, your favorite knight will be beheaded!!”

“This guy…”

“Consider it a reward for causing me irreparable harm through your cowardly attack, Emperor!!”

‘I’m sorry, Charlotte… I may never see future generations, but let’s think of it as a price in exchange for the nation’s glory and Zeno… If I return to my home country, I might be able to restore it…’

Tiruen gritted his teeth with anger at the prospect of not seeing future generations, but he felt joy at the thought that he had finally achieved at least half of his goal. He closed his eyes for a moment and thought of his beloved wife.

And at that moment, lightning began to strike the battlefield along with a sudden gust of wind.

Kwaang!! Kwaaaaang!!

“W-what is this!!”

“What? You said it was Commander Tesseito… You’re so cowardly? Furthermore, you took hostages and threatened my brother!! I will never forgive you!!”

“Huh? Isabella, don’t you know that guy over there, that little red pepper guy? That’s right! He’s fine, but he’s the guy who can’t even satisfy his wife!”

At the sound of two women’s voices coming from behind him, Tiruen opened his eyes and looked behind him.

“Knights! Put the Liechtenauer back on the cart right now… No!”

However, Liechtenauer, who was held hostage, disappeared without a trace, and only the two stunned knights were visible.
