Border, Norwegian Territory of Murcha.

More than 65,000 French soldiers were encamped here. In addition, there were nearly eight thousand imperial soldiers.

The French state claims to be a standing army of 100,000, but "half of them are social security maintenance personnel, and a quarter are sisters" (Wei language), and at this time it is very remarkable to be able to gather nearly 70,000 soldiers on the front line, as well as elite troops such as the Knights of the Dossier and the War Mage.

The so-called Knights of the Dossier...... It is composed of "Gryphon Knight", "Wyvern Knight", "Nightmare Horse Knight", "Pegasus Knight", and "Unicorn Knight", each of which is equipped with a powerful unit of full-body magic equipment.

The Okad army on the other side of the border has played the banner of "million army" early, but the elite "law breakers" and "musket battalions" under the command of Speaker Nicholas are nowhere to be found, and the "undead army" that broke through the dwarven capital does not know where it is, which makes the priests and paladins who have joined the side of the French power for the purpose of "purifying evil" feel "disappointed".

According to estimates, with the small princes who Okad kept coming from the rear and the peasant soldiers who were temporarily forcibly recruited from the Five Nations Alliance, the total number of Okad's soldiers was about 200,000. The number of people is quite large, far from a million, and the average combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the French state.

As for the 8,000 people of the empire supporting the French state, the number is not much, but they are all extremely strong soldiers, and the reinforcements sent by the four northern principalities alone are more brave and good at fighting than the soldiers of the ordinary legal state, and the few powerful guards who rushed to the border through magic means are the peak combat power of ordinary armies.

The only thing that made the Empire unhappy was that there were so many bad things about the allies of the French Powers.

The girl's guard was only a hundred people, and she came to the imperial capital in the morning taking advantage of the collective space transfer of the battle mage troops. As a result, something went wrong, and the officer in charge of receiving them almost turned them away, citing the fact that "I have received an order for you to move first to White City and then here".

When the guards were finally able to camp and rest, they were forcibly separated by the barracks master, who was a combination of fifty-nine men and forty-one women, and the old-fashioned barracks chief claimed that such a mix of troops could not be justified in being stationed together...... I heard that you people are going to be under command with the student soldiers of Baicheng, so let's wait for the higher-level people to come and make unified arrangements.

As a result, the guards were arranged to rest in the garrisons of ordinary male and female soldiers of the French State, and both sides were arranged to the southernmost and northernmost points of the main camp......

Everyone knew that there were several mixed forces of the French state, and the camps of the male and female soldiers were set up in an orderly manner next to each other, and none of them had been forcibly separated, and the positions of the maiden guards and the student soldiers of Solidar had long been reserved, and the camp officer was just causing trouble......

……

Natasha, the maiden's guard, lay down in the tent and rested. She was forced to separate from her boyfriend, Blanco, who was also the captain of the guard.

Originally, she had a lot of complaints about the arrangements of the Elrios, and the arrangements of the Elrios army also worried her.

The military account that could originally accommodate five people only lived in her, but she only lived in two. Living with her was an unknown female soldier from Erios, and the Rapunzel didn't want to talk to Natasha at all. Natasha felt that she was an ordinary person who had only recently been drafted and not a professional soldier.

The security of the large battalion was very loose. In case of a sneak attack by the enemy...... Natasha couldn't even think about it.

But she was relieved: she found her camp next to the camp of the Unicorn Knights. These 300 people are an all-female unit, and with them here to make the Seagod Needle, it is no wonder that ordinary soldiers are so relieved.

So Natasha also broke the jar and broke. She lay comfortably in her tent, wondering if she might be able to catch a look at the legendary unicorn while she was eating. Her temporary roommate remained silent, quietly reading a book (Natasha swore it wasn't a soldier's book, nor was it anything to do with the war).

……

At noon, the camp was attacked for the first time.

Suddenly, without warning, a group of Okad cavalry, their usual scouts, emerged from behind the hill and began throwing rockets at Natasha's area. There were not many arrows, and the flames were not strong enough, and many of them were extinguished directly in the air.

Most of the scattered rain of arrows hit the ground, with only a few hitting a few hapless female soldiers, and a few successfully hitting the tents. The French tents were not so flammable, but a few tents burned at once, including Natasha's.

"Uh-huh......!"

Natasha was originally lying in a kimono. She rolled over, snatching the spear and shield in her hand, and then rolled out of the tent. She was glad she hadn't taken off her boots.

And her "roommates" were not so lucky. It took her a few seconds to get up and she tripped over her sleeping bag, and before she could get out of the tent before the burning tent suddenly fell over her head......

Behind Natasha, heart-rending screams rang out.

Natasha had no time to worry about others, she ran with her shield raised, trying to find a cover to protect herself. But a new offensive was delayed. It seems that those scout cavalry fired in a wave, and then immediately retreated.

The Unicorn Cavalry is very good, and each of them is a beginner or even intermediate arcane caster in the sea of clouds, but they also have a weakness: they can't fly. Moreover, unicorns are not much faster than ordinary war horses, and if the enemy runs first, it is difficult for unicorns alone to catch up.

But if they couldn't catch up, they had to chase them, and a total of one hundred and fifty unicorn knights in half a battalion climbed onto their mounts and chased in the direction of the enemy's departure......

The ladies were forced to take on their worst jobs, running after the low-ranking cavalry, who were seven or eight grades lower than themselves.

And the infantry was concentrated. The women's camp was filled with improvised under-formed troops from all over the country and others who had been placed here for various reasons, making the gathering somewhat chaotic.

And the Blue Sky mage in charge of aerial reconnaissance - they did not notice the movement of the enemy cavalry, but at this time they reacted the fastest - finally belatedly reported to several officers, after the retreat of the opposing cavalry, there was also a small infantry along the grove and grass quickly advanced to this side, as if they wanted to make a second surprise attack.

Seeing the wounded sisters and several corpses still screaming in the tent, the female warriors of Elrios were enraged. After only a few minutes of discussion, the officers decided to take the initiative and teach the Okadians a lesson. The number of opponents is less than 500, and our infantry alone is more than 800, and there are 150 remaining unicorn cavalry to cover ......

Natasha felt that the whole team defense would be a better choice, but she also knew the difficulties at the moment. In the case of chaos in the establishment, it may not be as good as taking time to line up with a backhand to catch the opponent off guard. She didn't question Commander Elrios' choice and rushed out with her comrades.

To Natasha's surprise, there were a lot of women in the enemy's army, and the men weren't very strong—maybe they thought it would be easier for them to hide?

The field battle went very well, or too well. The two sides were locked in a scuffle, with one hundred and fifty unicorn knights easily capturing the enemy soldiers, and the infantry fighting even one-on-one with the advantage of the French and Imperial powers. Natasha fights a black-haired female soldier with a ponytail, and Natasha easily dodges her opponent's knife and then stabs her opponent in the stomach with a single shot.

Natasha looked around and found that she could not find any more opponents: the situation was already one-sided with her side, and the enemy was scattering and fleeing. She sighed, leaned over and picked up the other man's knife, cutting off the poor female soldier's head. At least I still want this head.
