“The hill has been occupied by our enemies . ”–Almus


“Well, they planned to wait at ease till we are exhausted . ”–Almus


I looked at Rozel’s army, which is deployed on the hill . Although it is a hill, there’s no distinct difference in altitude .


Still, in warfare, it is obviously more advantageous to take the higher position .


Gravity will bring enormous impact force with them, which is nearly unstoppable .


“Almus, we have finished investigating the military structure of our enemies . –Lulu


Lulu handed me the report .


“With the addition of the soldiers who were previously defeated by us, the overall force of Rozel will reach 32,000 men, 30,000 of which are infantry and 2,000 are cavalry . Nearly 7000 of the infantries are slaves . Besides those, they have 60 elephants . ”–Lulu


As expected, Rozel has more soldiers . Moreover, compared to us, they, Gallians, are stronger and more valiant .


That means Rozel’s infantry is stronger than ours .


We have 13,000 infantry and 4,500 cavalry .


Stronger cavalry but weaker infantry .


For the final victory, we have to deal with their elephants first .


“My king, I will come back with a victory and erase the disgrace from last time!” –Bartolo


“I’m counting on you, Bartolo . Waiting for your good news . ”–Almus


The war started with the emissary exchange .


Both sides tried to make the other side surrender . .


Obviously, that’s impossible .


The standoff lasted for three days .


Both forces attempted to find the weaknesses of the other until rain fell .


There is little rain in the Adernia Peninsula .


Because of that, soldiers have no experience fighting in such bad weather .


Just like how we won’t play baseball on a rainy day, it is better to avoid fighting in the rain .


But General Curiu won’t think so .


“Prepare! The war is going to start! Coat your skin with oil . ”–Curiu


“It has started . ”–scout


I read the report from the sorcerers .


Fortunately, we didn’t let our guard down even on a rainy day . However…



”Why did Curiu choose a rainy day to start the war? There must be some special reason . ”–Almus


Fighting in such bad weather would be harmful to both forces . Normally, such a risky strategy would be avoided .


“My king, they started to move . ”–Bartolo


“I know . Have you figured out why Curiu chose to move on a rainy day?”–Almus


Bartolo fell into silence .


There must be a special reason .


”What do you think, king? . ”–Bartolo


“I have no idea . ”


I answered quickly . Bartolo smiled and pointed at the ground .


I turned my vision to the ground . The heavy rain turned the ground into mud . It’s difficult for us to pull our boots out of the mud .


En? Something is strange .


Oh! I’ve got it .


”Countermeasure for our cavalry?”–Almus


“Yes . In such bad weather, it is already hard for a human to walk on mud, even more so for those heavier horses . It’s a good chance for Rozel to decrease our cavalry’s mobility . Although it’s also bad for their elephants, they are using the elephants as a tool for defense and their main force is the infantry . Obviously, compared to the cavalry, there would be less influence to the infantry . And Rozel has stronger infantry . ”–Bartolo


Ah! This is General Curiu .


What an excellent strategy!


”The other reason…”–Alexios


Alexios interrupted me with a smile .


Well, normally, it’s impolite to interrupt a king .


But I don’t care .


“Do you have another idea?”–Bartolo


“Well, besides that, there’s another reason . ”–Alexios


Although a little impolte, Alexios is also an excellent commander .


At such an urgent time . We need more suggestions .


Bartolo and I turned to Alexios .


”The other reason?”–Almus


“The explosive spears . On such a rainy day, the gunpowder will be drenched and won’t ignite . In this way, we can’t use the explosive spears . ”–Alexios


The detonators of the explosive spears were produced by Tetra’s magic . Gunpowder is sealed inside perfectly and can’t be drenched by the rain .


In the first place, I have created a weapon that won’t be influenced by the weather .


However, General Curiu has no idea about this .


It’s not surprising for him to think like Alexios .


”Of course, it’s just my guess . I don’t think General Curiu will do a risky move just because of these speculations . ”–Alexios


“No, it’s a great guess . I see . We also have to start our preparation right away . ”–Almus


We won’t fail this war just because a sudden rain .


Our Allied Forces is formed by arranging the infantry in the center in order to prevent General Curiu in attacking the middle . The Equus cavalry is divided equally on the left and right wings for surrounding our enemies .


A formation for surround and annihilate .


On the other hand, for maximizing the impact force, Rozel put their 40 elephants in the center . The whole formation was like an arrow .


The rest of the elephants were arranged on both wings for defense . Behind the elephants were light infantry and cavalry .


As usual, both forces started with spears, arrows, and stones .


Both the Allied Forces and Rozel sent thousands of soldiers . They are having a desperate fight under the heavy rain .


Soldiers raised their shields and defended against most of the stones .


But the heavy shield can’t be used to defend against arrows and spears . Those soldiers who lost their shields have to move back slowly .


After that, the main force began to move .


Allied Forces’ cavalry first clashed against Rozel’s elephants, cavalry and light infantry .


Our heavy infantry stopped Rozel’s drug-using slave army . The two sides exchanged fires fiercely and our heavy infantry gradually gained the upper hand .


By this time…

“Sha! Sha! Sha!! ”–slaves


“Wuhaaaaaa!!!”–slaves


The slaves fell into complete madness and started charging towards our heavy infantry .


They had lost their sensitivity to pain and there’s no fear of death in their eyes .


Facing those living dead, our soldiers got scared .


”What the hell is wrong these soldiers?”–Allied Force


Disgusting!”–Allied Force


It seems that our heavy infantry is going to be engulfed by Rozel’s .


Although we defeated nearly 1/3 of the slaves, these soldiers similar to the living dead were still charging nonstop .


It was at this time when the slaves suddenly fell into panic .


”Shit! Little bitch…”–Mari


Mari sweared . She and her sorcerer army remotely controlled the mental situation of the slaves .


But the connection was broken It was obviously interfered with .


(Actually, I heard the Allied Forces has a good sorcerer called Julia . )


“Pay more attention . It’s impossible for my pupils to be defeated by a nameless sorcerer! Class B, C, and D, continue to maintain the connection . Class A and me will start to attack the enemies . ” –Mari


”Well, it’s harder than I thought . ”–Julia


It’s difficult to cut down the connection between the enemies and the slaves, but Julia set her connection to the slaves quickly .


Julia felt a little upset at her lack of experience .


”That’s enough, Julia . It’s already good that we were able to interfere with the enemy . Almus will do the rest . ”–Tetra


Tetra encouraged Julia . Tetra also participated in the attack as a sorcerer .


Although, her magic is more suitable for weapon production rather than fighting in the frontline .


”We fight as a team! Come on everyone!”–Allied Forces’ Sorcerers


Our sorcerers cheered themselves in a loud voice .


Sorcerers are not less important than soldiers in the frontline .


”Julia-sama! The enemy’s counterattack is coming!”–Lulu


“All right, Lulu, prepare!” –Julia


“Got it! Go to hell!”–Lulu


Lulu held her head high and said .


However, due to the fierce attack of the enemies, our sorcerers, including Lulu, were gradually cursed and fell down .


”Unn…I’m dizzy . Julia-sama, we cannot hold on for more than 5 minutes . ”–Lulu


“It’s getting ready soon! Come on girls, let’s fight with our husbands!”–Julia


Julia also fought back with the headache and smiled to the sorcerers .


Including herself, most sorcerers here have already married .


For their husbands who were fighting in the frontline, they won’t fall easily .


The didn’t know how much time has passed . When Julia and her teammates nearly fell down, Soyon arrived and shouted . She worked in reconnaissance .


”They moved! The elephants in the center have moved . ”–Soyon


Finally, the headache disappeared . Which means that the enemy’s sorcerers have lost control of the slaves .


“Ahh…am I dying?”–Allied Force Sorcerers


All of them fell into the mud .


”Calm down! No matter what they are, separate their head from the body and they will die!”–Almus


I shouted and encouraged my soldiers .


Divine Blessing of Royalty stabilised and improved my soldiers’ mental situation .


Fear comes from uncertainty of the unknown . It happens to all of us .


For them, those fearless soldiers who were like the living dead were unknown .


”Haaaaaa!”


I beheaded an enemy . He still smiled even though he had died .


How disgusting!


”My king, are you charging to the front too much?”


A soldier was surprised, as well as worried .


I smiled and answered .


”No, you guys are too slow! Everyone, follow me! I am the son of the warlord! We are unstoppable!”–Almus


Hearing that, and with my Divine Blessing, our Allied Forces have never been more excited .


”This feeling!! Don’t forget!!”


“Follow our king!!!”


“God is with us!!”


Our soldiers raised their weapons again and the formation that was pushed back is now reformed .


”Well done, my king!”


“Well, contribution belongs to everyone . ”–Almus


I saw that even the enemies were getting sluggish .


For the fear of death, they began to get rid of the drug’s effect .


More like a human rather than a monster .


It’s the evidence that Julia broke off their control from the enemies’ sorcerers .


Out of all the difficulties, a messenger came to me .


”What happened?”–Almus


“Rozel’s elephants have moved! It seems that they’re going to charge toward our middle . ”–the herald


Curiu finally took action .
