Before we knew it, the sun had turned west, and our huge team had completely entered the territory of the ogres. With such a large army passing by, the ogre, who is known for their fierce temperament, will certainly not let us go easily——— only hope that we will not encounter them at night.

"Stop!"

Ah, unfortunately that's right.

"Stop!"

After learning about the commander's order through the flag, the flag bearers standing on the lookout car continued to pass the order to the next flag in the flag language, and at the same time, they also shouted the content of the order to the area he was in charge of through the sound conch.

Looking at the ogre totem that appeared on the left side of the road, I felt an inexplicable heat.

"Zenda's foot knights, heavy infantry and mercenaries, spread out to the left flank!"

Viscount Garneau, on a black warhorse, passed by the procession quickly, and his attendants gave us the order loudly. As the second son of the Marquis of Hogan, Viscount Garneau is about my age, but he is already a well-known mounted archer on the Dragonclaw Peninsula.

It is said that when he was 14 years old when he went out hunting with the Marquis, he shot down a windswept eagle with a hunting bow on a galloping horse. The wingspan of that ferocious creature is as long as four meters.

"Hall, Halberd. ”

I shouted to my squire servant Haul, and before he could hand over the halberd, I lowered the shield of my helmet and walked out of the line with the knights who were traveling with me. Our large team, now in an open area between a forest and a swamp, doesn't have to worry about being caught between two sides – and of course, that means there's no way back.

At the forefront of the march were pikemen, who always maintained a fan-shaped array that was neither loose nor tight. When the order to halt the advance reached the forefront, they immediately split up and formed a semi-circular formation of guns.

At the same time, the crossbow battalion of pikemen, which was closely followed by the pikemen, formed a hexagonal formation behind the half-ring formation and stood on guard. They buckle their bows and strings, and the poisoned arrows in their hands are ready to whizz out like a swarm of bees.

Standing on a relatively high position, we can see the changes of the army and the dragon.

"Your lord, your halberd. ”

By the time the dark gray halberd was handed to us, we had broken away from the dragon-like battle formation and advanced straight in front of the baggage team. Although the baggage in the back section is also the lifeblood of this army, the elite still concentrate on the front section to protect the big ones.

"Be brave, Hall, and protect the crossbowmen's flanks. ”

Snatching the 7.5-kilogram halberd from the hand of the squire Hall, I could see through the gaps in his visor his eyes that were a mixture of nervousness, fear, and expectation.

He was a homeless man I picked up in Chanda, and he collapsed on the side of the road, almost starving to death.

"Do as you command, my lordship. ”

Although he is illiterate, he is surprisingly efficient in the execution of concrete actions. And as rumored, as a native of the Haiya Highlands, he has a super stamina that the Dragonclaw people do not possess after he has eaten his fill.

This characteristic made me choose him to serve as a servant.

"Han, to the third column!"

Viscount Garneau's voice came, and I turned around and walked quickly to the designated position in the queue with my halberd. He gathered us knights on foot with slashing weapons in the center of the phalanx as the main force to resist the onslaught and counter-onslaught.

Just as everyone was gearing up for the battle to come, a carriage was led by the Viscount's attendants to the rear of the battle formation—the carriage full of wine.

"Divide all these good wines!"
