After assembling the 10,000 Imperial troops under Sochar, they arranged their uniforms, issued weapons, lined up, and began to march as regular troops.

At first they marched in a long serpentine procession, but as soon as the road entered the plain, like a flood overflowing over the embankment, the soldiers also left the road and walked onto the plain, and began to widen.

"Sidewalk! Turn right!"

Hearing the commander's order to "Forward!", the soldiers changed direction like a delicate mechanical device, changing their queues, and transforming the long snake into a quadrangular formation. The flags of each team stand at the front, the spear tips are side by side, and the shields are aligned, adjusting the pace like a creature.

"Adjust the formation!"

Hearing General Mudra's orders, the phalanxes lined up in different shapes like black and white squares.

In Sochar's home line, Helm, who followed him, Mudra. The horses of the three generals of Karasta and his staff followed closely behind, and the standard-bearers of flags of various colors, such as the Imperial flag, the Imperial Army flag, and the crown prince flag, followed behind them. In addition, the drum and flute corps, which conveyed orders and inspired the fighting spirit, also followed.

The camouflage carriage in which Tiyuret rode was also undisguised, and the carriage used by the usual nobles to advance beside Sochar.

"Lord Sochar. Is this really Mares?"

Tiyuret asked Sochar suspiciously.

They were supposed to be heading towards a difficult level of steep mountains and deep forests, but the terrain of the place they had reached was very gentle, and the green plains stretched as far as the eye could see. I think it's incredible, and I take it for granted.

But Sochar replied, as if surprised,

"Who said they were going to Mares?"

"Huh?"

"I just said there was a way to win, but I never said I was going to Mares. ”

The generals and soldiers of the main battle faction believed that Sochar would come to their aid and should fight desperately at Mares. But why exactly. Tiyuret couldn't hide her confusion and asked in a panic.

“………… So here it is?"

"Italica in the Earldom of Vermar. You see. ”

Sochar's army lined up in array, and thus crossed the ridge of the hill.

Then the view suddenly widens, and on the other side of the gentle downhill you can see the town of Italica.

"That's what the enemy is all about. As long as we capture the enemy's center and capture the Emperor, then we win. That's how I'm going to win. ”

"We succeeded in taking the enemy by surprise. Although lions and dragons have extremely sharp eyes and noses, they can only see ahead of them when attacking their prey. This moment is the loophole that takes advantage of the void. ”

A staff member said, and Helm spoke to Sochal.

"Italika is defenseless these days. It's a lot easier for us. ”

It would be ideal to attack before the Orthodox government forces in Italica have established a defensive posture, Helm said. It would have been nice to have been able to break into the castle without the gates being closed, but it would have been too smooth anyway, so you can't expect that. Because the enemy is not a puppet either.

Therefore, what should be carried out is a strong attack. If you succeed in quickly climbing the walls while the enemy is in disarray, you will be able to capture the city in a short time, although you will lose some money.

"I don't want to spend too much time. ”

"Yes. If it drags on too long, the enemy's main force will return. ”

This is the reason why it can't be consumed slowly. Helm must challenge the challenge of capturing the enemy's city in a limited amount of time.

Of course, Sochal doesn't intend to put all the bets on Helm alone. He will use cunning in conjunction with frontal attacks to try to increase his chances of victory.

"Poru...... I'll leave it to you to catch the emperor. ”

The driver of the Tiuret carriage turned around.

"Ha, Kuhehehe. This battle is also a decisive battle for us and others. I will unreservedly devote all of Haglio's combat power. ”

"Bo, Poru, why are you here?"

Poru can't be here. "Answer me Poru. Why are you here?" said Tillé's question, and Poru shrunk his neck, while Sochar and Helm sneered.

"Tiyure. Is there anything inconvenient about Poru here?"

When asked by Sochar, Tiuree was scared.

"No, no. ”

"You're just the one in charge of liaising with Poru. I've been saying that for a long time. Now I'm going to give a direct order over the liaison, what's wrong with that?"

Tiuret shook her head like a rattle.

"Do you think Poru can't be here because you want him to hear something?"

"No, no, that is. That kind of thing."

"Don't hide it. I was also shocked to hear that you had betrayed me. He couldn't sleep every day, and in a fit of rage, he threw fire on the slaves and even killed a few people. ”

The more Sochar spoke, the more powerful and angry he became.

"Doing a pitiful thing. Don't you think so? It's pathetic. Poor slaves. I killed the women. That's how it came to fire. ”

Tiuret held her breath.

Thorchar dismounted from his horse and slowly approached the carriage in which Tiyuret was riding.

Tiyuret was terrified and unable to move. Thorchar stretched out his arm, and with that strength he pulled Tiyulet down.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not like this. ”

"Needless to say. Be quiet, don't talk, shut up!"

"Ah, Your Highness, please believe me. ”

"Didn't I tell you to shut up!"

Thorchar's roar made Tiulet shudder and shut her mouth. Then Sochar smiled contentedly.

"Come to think of it, I've betrayed you too. For when I heard this desire of the tribe who wanted me to help you, I did not fulfill it, but destroyed it. I am the one who took your companions and your whole people and sold them as slaves. And I never talked about it. When you perceive this, and when you perceive this, what kind of expression do you show, whether you sigh for your sorrow, or are you driven to come and question me in anger, I imagine you like this, and my heart is excited. Whether he will assassinate me while I sleep, whether he will hide a knife in his arms and approach me, I have always looked forward to this kind of thing. ”

"That's—That kind of thing"

"But you didn't react at any time. Because you've always put on an overly indifferent face, I've put documents on your side where you can see how your clan is going. For example, how many rabbits were sold. You've read it. You should have read it, right?"

"Woo ......"

"Even so, you haven't changed your attitude. So I was deceived. I think you're in love with me. I think you're hateful, painful, and let it pass. I think you're a pretty cold woman. Honestly, it was so disappointing for me. But on the other hand, as soon as I thought I got a convenient female slave, I let you go. You encouraged me when I was hurt and cheered me up. Anything was done to make me happy. That makes me so happy. I take those as your sincerity, trust you completely, and give you a lot of work. And you betrayed that. How the hell am I going to punish you?"

"That kind of thing is not trust. That's when there's no one in sight. I don't have a reason to repay you. ”

Tiuret jerked off the wall and lifted Soshal's arm. But he was blocked by Sochar's thick arms, and instead he held him down.

"That's right, that's fine. You have the right to hate me. I have the right to take the blade of vengeance against me. Your anger is justified. But it's not presented in a good way. You've been betraying. At first betrayed my expectations, then betrayed my trust. And now you're about to betray me. What the hell is going on with your embarrassed look, Tiure. If a woman like you betrays her betrayal, she won't beg for mercy, but she should show her noble side, right? Begging for mercy, if you don't scold, it's really ugly. ”

"Why do I have to go with you?"

"Say it again!"

"So, why do I have to act the way someone like you envision!?"

Tiuret screamed with all her might. At least, she wouldn't be satisfied if she didn't slam her voice against Sochar's eardrum. Even Sochar frowned.

“…… I see, I see. Do you mean to get revenge by betraying my expectations?"

"That's right. I'm not going to act the way you envisioned!"

"Huh. In that case, let me see if you can betray my expectations until the end. I'll have to see how long you can hold on to this stubbornness!"

Then Poru got out of the carriage and bowed his head.

"His Highness Kuhe. I sincerely beg you to bestow this rabbit girl on a minion. ”

"yes. I don't want to tire the soldiers before the war. Just like you. ”

It's not all soldiers on the battlefield. When a man like Sochar marches, he must have slaves who run errands by his side. Poru was recruited as his own subordinate in place of the slaves.

"Hey, what the hell are you going to do?"

"I look forward to seeing you crying and begging for mercy. Expect you to scream, 'Let me die a happy death.'" ”

With these words as a signal, 7-8 men led by Poru pressed towards her.

Seeing the men's obscene gaze, Tiyure, who realized her fate, swallowed her spit and mustered up the courage to shout,

"Hmph...... Hmph, that's all there is to it. If you want me to beg for mercy, bring me ten times as many people as you come to Sochar. If all of them are the same size as your low-grade stuff, not only ten times, but a hundred times!"

"Y-What did you say?"

Hearing this astonishing statement, even Sochar was dumbfounded.

"I'm not that ......"

Low-level, he was going to refute it, but Tiyuret shouted to overshadow him,

"If it's not right, take off your pants and show that thing! Anyway, if you touch it once or twice, you'll get rid of it, right? If you want to use that kind of thing to make me beg for mercy, give me a good sense of the number of times. Even if you say, 'It's no longer good, spare me,' I won't let you go, so you just come with this realization! I'm going to squeeze you to ****, and you so much that you can't even move no matter what woman you see!"

Perhaps because they thought it was still too annoying, the men all took a step back together with their crotches in their hands. They were overwhelmed by Tiyure's momentum.

I don't know who muttered it. "This woman is terrible. It looks like she's going to kill you. ”

Even Sochar kept backing when he realized this.

"Your Highness. Now is not the time to talk about it. ”

General Karasta said to him.

This is a great opportunity. Faced with an unsuspecting city, the army lined up and waited for Sochar's orders.

While time is wasted like this, Italica should be gradually building up a defensive posture.

Sure enough, the gates opened, and the soldiers came out of it. On closer inspection, they had their backs to the city and seemed to be planning to arrange the phalanx horizontally to form a formation.

"Shh

"The traitors are going to fight us in the field?"

Helm looked back at Soshar and shouted,

"Your Highness! Immediately give the order to attack!"

If you attack while the formation is still in place, the enemy will not be able to fight seriously. Thrown into chaos, the enemy should retreat into the city. It was not what I expected, but even so, we were able to fight in a fairly favorable situation for our side, Helm said.

But Sochar shook his head.

"No, wait. Since those people want to fight with us in the field, then we can just fight with them. That's faster than a siege. ”

In fact, siege is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires a lot of sacrifice. Even then, it doesn't always mean winning. On the other hand, the field battle is won by the side with the largest number of people.

The element of quantity is the basic content when considering "combat power". On this basis, the factors added or subtracted include the quality of weapons, the combat plan, the terrain, the morale of the army, and the quality of the command and command system.

The most influential of these elements was the fortifications of the castle.

If you rely on this and hold on to the castle in a state of full preparation, it will be difficult for even a large army to win. And they themselves gave up this advantage and came to fight a field battle, so thank goodness.

The Socharist Imperial Army and the Orthodox Government Army of Italika were almost equal in terms of the quality of weapons and the command and command system. Therefore, field warfare is a competition between the merits of the battle plan, the morale of the army, and the number of soldiers. Since they were already far superior to the enemy in terms of numbers, it was reasonable for Sochar to conclude that field warfare was more suitable.

Absang, the next justice officer and chairman of the Imperial Power Support Committee, said,

"General Helm. As you can see, the number of enemy troops is about six thousand. Comparatively, our army is 10,000. Even head-to-head battles can be easily won. ”

This opinion was also shared by Karasta and Mudra. They called the trumpeter and told him to give orders to go down and prepare for a field battle.

The sound of the trumpeter's horn immediately resounded all around. The soldiers abandoned the ladders and other things that were intended to be used for the siege on the spot and began to reorganize the ranks.

The deployment was also changed from a siege posture to a field formation. The archers swapped places with shielded infantry.

The soldiers drew their swords, mounted their guns, drew their bows, and switched their minds to field combat.

"Tiyuret, when the battle is over, I'll prepare you ten times as many men as you wish. Just wait and enjoy!Poru, Tiuret will punish her later, and lock her up somewhere. More than that kind of thing, the emperor is more important now. It should now be easier to attack than if the enemy was holding on to a city. There is no room for error!"

"Yes, yes. ”

Poru had his men tie up Tiyuret and bowed his head to Thorchar.

"So, let's start the war. ”

Sochar is only a fingertip. Seeing this, Helm gave the order.

"Forward!"

The order rang everywhere.

"Onward, onward!"
