Chapter 35 – 04. Golden Home (錦衣還鄕).

“Forward the archers!!”
Thousands of archers quickly formed a volley formation.
“Load!”
Profit.
As thousands gathered, the sound of bowstrings being pulled was very loud and strange.
“Launch!!!”
Shu Shu Shuk!
As the archers released their hands in unison, a black wave rose.
Waves wide and numerous enough to cover the sky rushed towards the enemy with a terrifying, destructive roar.
“Load!”
Reload without watching it.
The skilled women pulled the string in less than a second, and each lifted the bow at the same angle.
“Launch!!!”
Shu Shu Shuk!
Second black wave.
It was the moment when the first shot had not yet reached the enemy camp.
“Load!!”
Again draw the bow,
“Launch!!”
Create waves
Created 3 black waves before the enemy was shot and killed.
After finishing the 3rd salvo, all the archers moved backwards, leaving a gap between them.
Even so, he fired arrows at his discretion.
“Forward cavalry!”
Through the gap, knights and cavalry rushed forward.
“Charge!! Kill the bitches before they wake up!!”
“Wow!!”
Doo doo doo
100 knights and 2,000 cavalrymen ran, blowing dust.
Around that time, the arrows fired for the first time arrived at the enemy camp and killed soldiers sleeping in the barracks, soldiers standing guard, and soldiers stationed outside the castle anyway.
“That’s the enemy!!! It’s a surprise attack!!!”
“Come on, raise your weapon!”
“Quick report…!”
“You idiots!! Go inside the castle first!!”
The ambushed soldiers roared and took their weapons.
“Your Highness!! It’s a surprise attack!! Currently, tens of thousands of enemies are said to have come within reach!!!”
Illyana, who had been drinking with Aran by her side of her, put her barrel down and quietly stood up.
“You’re here.”
“Sister…”
As she feared, the enemy attacked by surprise, but she seemed unconcerned.
“If we continue like this, the army outside the castle might be destroyed!”
“We can’t leave it like that. Recruit knights. With cavalry.”
“I don’t care about the knights, but the troopers are in a drunken state, so how can I…”
“Aren’t there some soldiers who haven’t enjoyed it yet because they were late disembarking? You’ll have to gather them mainly. Aran, I’ll be buying time, so when you’re ready, you’ll lead the cavalry and come out.”
“Yes?!”
“Your Highness!! What kind of nonsense are you talking about!!! Absolutely not!!!!!”
It was an obvious mistake for a commander with a single large army, and for a member of the imperial family to go to the front on his own.
“That’s right! My sister, the commander, is buying time…! It’s ridiculous!!”
“Who do you think I am? I’m a 5th tier knight. I’m unlikely to allow even a single wound to the backed Throdia guys. And, soon Aran will come running. No problem.”
“There’s a lot!!! It’s absurd that the commander of the military goes to the front and fights without commanding the battlefield! Besides, His Highness the Prince is a man!! He’s not a child, so why the hell are you doing this !!”
Heh
Even at the rude words, she smiled.
“We’ll see if my words and actions are childish, or if your concerns are unfounded.”
“Majesty…”
“Are you sure you would?”
“Didn’t I tell you?
“However…”
“Isn’t it all right if you’re not late? And again, I’m a 5th tier knight. My level is different from that of ordinary people. Oh, that’s right. Send a dispatch to Roana and tell them to hit Korra. You don’t have to overdo it.”
After that, she disappeared with her young body.
“Haa…How…How… Such a thing…”
The noble sighed deeply.
“…Let’s get ready for now.”
“Yes…Your Highness…”
“Avoid!!! It’s cavalry!!”
“There are also knights!!”
“Shut up and get in!”
The soldiers moved as quickly as possible to enter the castle.
However, at this rate, even the enemy’s soldiers will be sent in.
“I-Now I have to close the castle gate…!”
“There’s no need for that. We’ll annihilate the enemy, so keep it open.”
“Nu…Me, Your Highness!!”
Illyana leaped and jumped over the tens of meters of the castle gate.
Then, he landed in front of the enemy knights who were running.
Thud!!
In an instant, the floor caved in and a shockwave spread in all directions.
Hee hee hee!
“What, what…!”
Before the knights and cavalrymen could do anything, the horses got scared and stopped.
“Hiya. Nice to meet you. Throdia gentlemen. Can you finally relieve my sister’s resentment?”
Illyana stood up intact.
Even after taking that leap, she didn’t seem to be shocked at all.
* * *
Meanwhile, the logos province.
“Your Highness! Everything has been sorted out.”
“Hmm… Good job.”
She said with a puzzled expression.
I came prepared, but the landing was too easy.
The enemies were also meager, and above all, the number was too small unlike the information.
“I don’t know what happened. Losing this place would be like losing the sea…”
Thousands of the enemy’s naval force exerted their efforts, but they succeeded in landing in less than half a day.
“Your Highness. We must not be vigilant yet. We have only occupied one port yet.”
“Of course. No matter how much I think about it, it landed too easily.
She guessed that they would be fighting at sea for at least three days. I heard that the enemy number exceeded 50,000, and since I was in an attacking position, that amount of time was necessary.
But let alone three days, it was only half a day.
This is something fishy
At that time.
“Your Highness!! It’s urgent!!”
“Urgent? What’s going on?”
“Enemy troops in the Roana region went to attack the Roishi region!!”
“…Attack? What the hell are you thinking? To attack a place where 300,000 troops are defending with only 50,000 troops…!”
“It is said that Her Highness Princess Illyana held a big banquet as soon as she arrived. So I guess that’s why she took advantage of that opportunity.”
“A banquet? No, you’re holding a banquet right next to the enemy camp?!”
“…”
Juana shook her head in disbelief.
Sometimes it is necessary to relieve the morale of allies, but it was impossible to do that when the enemy was in close proximity.
“Huh…What the hell is your sister thinking? Then it’s like an advertisement telling you to come in…”
In an instant, she raised her head.
“Wait. If you chase the enemy right now, isn’t it like naturally besieging it?”
“Ah…!”
“Yes. That’s how it is. While the enemy is attacking the Roissy region, if we hit the back, isn’t it a natural siege!”
“Then, could this be Princess Illyana’s plan?”
“…The enemy doesn’t know of our existence. Having 150,000 reinforcements next to us is surprising, but who would have predicted that there would be another 150,000 there. Maybe they caught them off guard. Or…”
“If not…?”
“I just wanted a drink or something.”
“…..”
“Ah, anyway, the enemy is deliberately lured in, and in the gap, our troops land on Roana and occupy it… After that, they surround it together and annihilate the enemy.”
“It seems so.”
“But, aren’t there enemies above?
“If we really came up with such a ploy, we would have sent an army separately. We have enough troops even if we divide it in half.”
“Then what shall we do?”
She thought for a moment.
It would be nice if Illyana really did it with such a ploy, but even if it wasn’t, it was an opportunity to surround and annihilate the enemy. Even if an enemy army from above descends through that gap, it can completely annihilate the army in one province.
“I’ll go after it. No matter how hedonistic my sister is, she’s not one to banquet on the battlefield just because she wants to drink. She must have had some ideas.”
“Then I will prepare the army immediately.”
“Yes. Please do so. And we too will divide the army in half. Half will pursue the enemy, half will march upward and strike Karma.”
“It’s a bucket.”
“Yes. To annihilate the enemy more reliably. It would be too wasteful if 150,000 people rushed like this.”
“Then wouldn’t it be more appropriate to send 50,000 rather than half?”
“That’s good, but the more troops, the better the siege.”
She immediately split her army into two, one marching northward with a quick capture, and the other pursuing the enemy forces that had gone against Roissy.
She herself remained in port with a small force.
‘…Unintentionally, I received help…’
She opened her eyes.
* * *
Kwagwawang!!
With just one swing of the sword, fragments of human bodies and horses scattered along with the soil on the floor.
“A monster, a monster…!”
Thanks to that, Throdia-kun was missing out on the long-awaited opportunity.
“Damn it! Break through anyway!!”
Even at this moment, the enemy was entering the castle one after another, and there was no point in leading the army at this rate.
“For you to pass in front of me. 100 years is too early.”
Illyana blew away the knights who were trying to go round the side with wind pressure.
She put on a thrilled expression.
Many of her knights rushed to stop her, but to no avail.
She wasn’t even riding a horse.
“Your year! What the hell is your identity!!”
Out of courtesy, Illyana stopped her sword.
“You’re out of habit. Four years to this body. But forgive me. I’m going to die anyway. Hehe.”
“This year…!”
Hooked
She even stuck her sword into the ground.
“I’m very curious, so let me know. The name of this body is ‘Illyana’. A great knight who will make his name on the continent in the future.”
“Illyana?”
“If it’s Illyana… It’s the same name as our Jae Sang-ha…”
“Sir, no way… Is that the person I know… ?”
“Why? You know?”
“I know! As a human of the Basa Kingdom, this level of skill…If you use the name Illyana…”
“Boo, I’m sure… But there’s no way the royal family could be here!!”
An obvious commotion spread among the knights and among the cavalry.
A single person is blocking thousands of knights and cavalry, and even the foot soldiers that follow.
There is only one person that comes to mind, but she is from the royal family.
It was unbelievable that the royal family would appear in such a dangerous war.
Shit.
Illyana laughed as if it were ridiculous.
“That’s why you guys suffer. Because you’re caught up in that kind of prejudice.”
Suddenly, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Kugoong!
“Aww!”
“What…!”
“I am the ‘second strongest in the Persian Empire’, ‘Illyana Almon Lee Persia’.”
“!!!”
“Oh, really…”
“The royal family is on the battlefield…!”
Most of all, they were surprised that royalty had joined the war.
No matter how good you are, there will be no royalty to go to the battlefield!
Illyana laughed at their reaction.
“Since the imperial family started a war, it is natural for the imperial family to go to the battlefield.
None of the four bitches take responsibility, right? The year of the king, the lower ones, and the nobles.
So trampled on,
So you will be trampled on.”
“Everyone, shut up! How dare you put Your Highness in your filthy mouth!!”
“On the subject of a barbarian!!”
Hehe. You two will live your whole life talking like barbarians. You don’t even know what you’re doing. Cancer. You guys have become barbarians yourself, so how can you see anything other than barbarians?
Honor without power is given to the passing strong.”
I sighed and drew my sword.
“Your honor without power.”
Point your enemies with your sword,
“And the strong we used to be.”
Pointed to the back.
At the right time, Aran came out of the gate with the knights and horsemen in good shape.
“Come on, give it to me. Everything you guys have.”
