Chapter 7 The fierce battle of the southern country
Compared with the war on the west side, the war situation on the south side of the country is relatively at a low point.
Due to the existence of the large siege beast cart of the ace of the East Country, the army of the South Country had to intercept the army led by Eleanor in the central mountain area, and once the army of the East Country broke through this area, then the capital of the South Country would be completely exposed to the attack range of the beast car, which was a situation that the enemy could not accept in any case.
Eleanor, on the other hand, also noticed the movement of the enemy's army, and in order to cope with the enemy's large army, the army of Higashinokuni was completely stationed in the fortress on the top of the mountain, intending to fight the enemy here.
"How's it going, Eleanor, what's new for the enemy?" After a night of calm, Iska and Gardia arrived at the front camp, where Eleanor had not slept all night in order to regroup the line as quickly as possible.
"According to the intelligence from the sentinels in the front, it seems that the enemy has gathered all the garrisons of the capital to the foot of the mountain, and at the same time, the troops responsible for the defense of the border have also gathered in the mountains behind, and the other side has surrounded us all. Eleanor replied, dragging her tired figure.
"Is the enemy going to fight us here?" Gardia walked over to her side, and a sand table covering the entire Central Mountain Range was placed in the center of the front camp.
"I'm afraid that Hibbert's reincarnation ceremony is arranged in the capital of Minami Country, so the other party will not let our army go any further. Eleanor pointed at the sand table, as long as they could defeat the enemy at the foot of the mountain, then the entire king of the southern kingdom would be almost close at hand.
"In that case, can't we preemptively bombard the enemy's camp with those beast carts that can shoot fireballs. Iskar asked.
"Of course I know this, I have made a detailed battle plan, and in order to break through the enemy blockade as soon as possible, I need you two to join the battle. β
"If you need anything, just give orders, no matter what kind of battle, we will not back down. Gardia said.
"Then that's my battle plan. Eleanor summoned the two to her side, and began to explain her plans in detail.

In order to fill the previously blown up access to the mountain, the enemy pursuing from the rear used a large number of sappers to work overnight, and once the passage was repaired, the army of Minami no Kuni on both sides of the mountain range would simultaneously launch a general attack on the army of Higashi no Kuni on the top of the mountain. Therefore, until the decisive battle began, the troops stationed at the foot of the mountain were in a state of silence.
"Lord Sisbis, the restoration of the project has been completed, and it has been ensured that it is passable. "As General Sisbis, who was originally responsible for guarding the border of the southern country, immediately after receiving the order, he led a large army to encircle and suppress the troops of the eastern country, and at this time he was asked to cooperate with the defenders of the royal capital led by Ulysses, and both sides simultaneously encircled and suppressed the enemy from both sides.
"Very well, inform Lord Ulysses' troops at once, and we will prepare to attack at once. β
"Yes ... β
Just as the soldiers had left the camp, a loud roar suddenly came from the opposite side of the hill.
"Lord Sisbis!!The enemy has suddenly attacked us!!"
"What!?"
"A large number of fireballs are coming at us from the top of the mountain!!"
"Immediately erect a defensive barrier!!Let the stormtroopers go immediately!!"
"Shall we let the troops launch a surprise now? Shouldn't we report to Lord Ulysses?"
"The enemy has already begun to strike first, we can't sit idly by, and as for Ulysses, that Lord will understand my decision!"
"Yes, my subordinates will notify me. β
As the beast cart of the East no Country threw a large number of detonating magic boulders attached to it to both sides of the mountain road at the same time, huge fireballs roared towards the enemy camps on both sides. Even if the enemy activates the enchantment magic at the first time, but each thrown boulder is attached to a special enchantment-breaking technique, even if the first few boulders will be blocked by the enchantment, so that the explosion will explode on the outside, but after the explosion, the activation of the anti-enchantment spell will interfere with and disintegrate, and when the subsequent attack hits the same position, these improvised enchantments become fragmented and vulnerable, which is also one of the secret weapons that the country of Higashi should be proud of.
Soon the fireballs that pierced the barrier invaded the enemy's garrison camp in large numbers, and with the violent explosion and raging flames, the enemy camps on both sides were severely wounded.
However, the enemy naturally did not sit still and wait for death, and at the moment of reconnaissance of the attack, the enemy troops on both sides invariably chose to let the troops launch a surprise attack, so most of the assault troops had already advanced halfway up the mountain, and were not affected by the first wave of offensives.
The !!troops led by Iska and Gardia had already been ambushed in the enemy's path, and as the mighty army entered the range of the Warlock's troops, the two immediately ordered a fierce magical attack on the enemy.
On the other side of the trail, Eleanor led the heavily armored knights in an encounter with the troops of Sisbis, and the men and horses of both sides immediately began hand-to-hand combat......
