Chapter 43 – 05. What? No King?
* * *
Aran finally started dispatching troops.
The reckless operation to capture the enemy city with only 10,000 cavalry had begun.
The soldiers all looked at Aran with distrustful eyes.
It’s not another elite soldier, but it’s a siege warfare with cavalry.
But Aran is the prince.
Everyone had to follow his orders.
“It’s not a scam, Your Highness.”
“Well… I guess.”
Right now, the knights are crying.
Aran was also a little worried, but still believed in his own strength his.
‘You can do it. Anyway, Ballista is a mana evaporation type skill. But if I had infinite mana…!’
Given enough time, you will be able to break through the enemy’s shields and break down the walls.
And as soon as you enter the castle, Aran and his knights run rampant, and his cavalrymen run all over the place.
“Your Countess! The enemy has crossed the border!”
Troyes.
It is a province above the Roana province and next to the Chora province.
A gateway that Aran must pass through.
A large Persian army supported most of the troops for attacking Chora.
Such was the case in all the castles in Troyes.
The number of troops stationed by him is about 1,000 at most.
Even that was mostly his general disease.
One such castle, a soldier rushed up and reported.
“Enemy? How many are there!”
“It’s estimated to be around 10,000!”
“10,000…10,000…”
The total number of troops in this castle is 2,000. If you combine all the troops of other castles, it seemed that it would be about 8,000.
“Where do you think the destination is?”
“It seemed to be headed for the city.”
“Doseong…”
There are 30,000 people under the direct control of the king in the capital city.
During a siege, at least three times as many troops are needed, but with 10,000, it is rather one-third. It will probably be difficult to capture the city.
But you can think of it differently.
“If you pretend to go to the capital city and then turn around and head for Korra, things will become a hassle. Send dispatches to each castle immediately and assemble the troops!”
“Heh, but the enemy’s armies were all knights and cavalry! In battles on the plains…”
“What? All troopers?”
“That’s right.”
“Well…”
They’re all cavalry.
This makes the situation even more troubling.
8,000 infantry against 10,000 cavalry is just a temporary obstacle.
10,000 cavalry is hard to stop even with 30,000 infantry.
She thought deeply.
If we assemble an army to block the enemy, the army will be annihilated, but if we just send it away, it hurts after going to Korra or the capital.
“Why not just respond with archers? If you use hit-and-run tactics with guerrillas, you’ll be able to slow them down.”
The adjutant next to him gave his opinion of her.
“Isn’t it called cavalry? The position will be detected soon, and if it is the main force of cavalry, it will be easily caught up.”
“But you can’t stay still!”
I was afraid of being attacked by the enemy, so I just watched the enemy pass. It is absurd.
She thought it over and finally came to a conclusion.
“Send dispatches to the capital city and Cora. Only 1 enemy cavalry can go there, so be careful. We stay in the castle.”
“Jeha!”
“The enemy is the cavalry! Even if all the 8,000 soldiers remaining in Troyes rushed in, they would just disappear meaninglessly. However, the capital city is different. It is impossible to lay a siege with only cavalry! Even if there is no defense , the capital city will not fall.”
“Ha, but…As a soldier…”
“Sometimes this choice is also necessary. We are already inferior in troops, but if 8,000 soldiers die here, the situation will only get worse.”
“…….”
Emotionally, it was hard to understand, but there was a reason.
“…All right.”
In the end, all the castles in Troyes locked their doors and did not come out.
Thanks to Aran, I was excited.
They broke through the Troyes province in one day without any hindrance.
“That’s why you brought only cavalry! You sent a large army to Yangdong!”
Hancock admired.
At first, I had no idea what Aran meant, but after a while, it seemed like I knew.
“That…Is it?”
Of course, that wasn’t what Aran was aiming for.
He just picked the fast cavalry.
“Anyway, if there are 10,000 cavalry, Throdia, who already lacks troops, can’t come out of the castle! Especially if they sent support to Korra!
That’s why I used 200,000 troops as a diversion so that I had no choice but to send support to Korra!”
Haha…”
Fools are comfortable.
“Ah, anyway, according to the map, the city is half a day away.
“Finally! The soldiers will be delighted.”
“Rest everyone!”
The soldiers dismounted from their horses with joyful expressions.
“Your Highness, there seems to be a river nearby. Why don’t you take turns showering?”
“A shower? But weren’t all the troopers given clean badges?”
“That’s nice too, but it still feels different from pouring water on them. If we do three shifts and prepare meals, I think we’ll be able to go out again within about two hours.”
“Hmm…”
Alan thought for a moment.
It wouldn’t be a big deal if it was simply 2 hours, but if it was 2 hours from now, it would be night. Then he has to camp, and in the meantime, if information goes to the capital, he might notice that it’s Yangdong.
“Hoho. I know what your Highness is worried about.”
“Yes? Then what should I do?”
“It’s simple.”
“Simple?”
Hancock was confident for some reason.
“Your Majesty is the Prince. You just have to push forward with confidence.”
“Count…”
“Because no one will ever be able to find fault with Your Highness.”
You believe me like this
Alan was moved again.
“Thank you Count. Trust me…”
“More than anything else, it would be a blessing if I could catch my eye and become the princess.”
“…Yes?”
“Yes?”
“?”
“?”
The two question marks crossed.
“…Just in case, what kind of trouble did the Count think I was going through?”
“That’s right… I want to see fresh, green, and good-looking soldiers taking a shower, but that doesn’t make sense as a prince, so you’re worried about how to enjoy it without losing face, right? “
“…”
She was sure
Okay. Who do you believe
The woman in front of me is a rare obscene idiot.
Aran shook her head.
“How the hell do you see me, Count?”
“Yeah…”
“No, don’t tell me. I can roughly predict what will be said.”
“Honey…”
“Don’t tell me.”
“…Then what are you worrying about?”
I ask as if I was surprised.
“It will be night two hours from now. When it becomes night,”
“Ah!”
A familiar face.
“Did you know?”
“Yes. I understand. If that’s the case, no problem.”
“Why?”
“Even if I do this, I’m an expert in that way.”
“?”
“Hey. Your Highness is really amazing. You can truly say that he is the representative of men. It’s something that most women can’t even imagine.”
“…What are you thinking?”
If you learn the basics, you can think about it enough.
“Aren’t you worried because it will be night in two hours, and when it does, you will have to spend time here after all?”
“Oh… That’s right. What are you doing?”
“Hohoho. Even if you look like this, you’re a true woman.”
She held out her breasts proudly.
Her well-made cleavage her caught her eye her.
“Originally, the more urgent you are, the more you have to go back. Don’t worry about that and take a good rest. Wouldn’t it be better for soldiers to rest as well?
“Hmm… I guess that’s right? I’ve been running all this time… Anyway, the city is right in front of me.”
“Then I’ll give you an order like that!”
Hancock gestured to the knight to issue an order, and when the order was delivered, the soldiers were visibly delighted.
“Your Highness, would you like to wash yourselves too?”
“Hmm…Is that so?”
“I’ll peek hard.”
“Do not do that.”
“As expected, His Highness hates me. That’s really fortunate… Not unfortunate.”
Hancock hurriedly walked away.
He still seemed to be thinking about it.
Aran was a little taken aback by her unpredictable character her, but she soon agreed and went to the riverside.
.
.
.
“Did you call. Countess.”
“Okay. Is everyone gathered?”
“Yes. I brought 10 out of a total of 100 knights.”
Behind her with a salute, there were knights with nervous expressions.
The number is 10 people.
“Then, including you, there are 11 people. Okay. This should be enough.”
Hancock pretended to have a serious, heavy expression on his face.
“As you know, we’ve had a tough march. We’ve been riding horses all day long, so the fatigue is not the only one.”
“No! It’s not hard!”
“No. It’s hard.”
“…Yes. It’s difficult.”
Cutting it like a sweet pumpkin, the knights forcibly agreed.
In fact, it was also difficult.
“We, as women, are having such a hard time, but how can Your Highness do so? Even though he is a man, he burned his body for the operation.”
The knights had hot eyes.
The battlefield is a forbidden area, but Aran has already raised the ball, and she also showed that passion.
“Now, those who are knighted must also be freed with the master’s blood. If the master had a woman’s body, it would be very difficult, but fortunately, His Highness is a man’s body. If you are a true woman, it will be a simple task.”
“…Yes?”
“Think about it. Isn’t it night in two hours? At night, we have to make camp and camp. Right?”
“That’s right.”
“And Your Highness is a man. A man can never have a comfortable night without a woman! That’s why His Highness was very worried.”
“Ah!”
“Even if it’s temporary, he’s our lord! As a knight and noble, shouldn’t we alleviate the lord’s fatigue and worries!”
“You are right!”
“Yes! In the spirit of chivalry and noblesse oblige, we must serve Your Highness tonight!”
It is like a scene during the revival of a new religion.
A strange heat emanated from them.
“If so, are the 11 of us serving Her Highness her?”
“Yes. And by the way, I’ll help too. Eleven meters out.”
“…Why is it 11 meters away?”
Hancock looked at the distant mountains.
“Because his level is so high, he could never get close to a woman like me.”
“…Yes?”
“Anyway, we’ll gather here again in two hours. In the meantime, clean yourself from head to toe!”
“Yes!”
