Chapter 4: The Battle Situation (3)
"Very well, Alfred, please thank Your Excellency the Major General for your kindness on my behalf." Glerint nodded heavily and took the temporary document he handed over.
"Okay, I'll remember, you better hurry up and get familiar with your team, after all, you don't have much experience in leading troops."
After agreeing to his request, Alfred did not forget to tell him a special word.
……
The 50 men were from Isla's men, led by Glerint, and the second team was a stiff-faced man in his thirties, slightly shorter than Glerint, whose name was Arash, and he was a mixed race of Rune blood.
After a few brief sentences, Gleilint officially entered the pursuit-and-escape battle in which he led his troops.
Now the pursuers led by Isla are not too fast, mainly to avoid falling into an ambush, but also to save stamina...... Anyway, the direction of the enemy's escape is to the belly of the Rune colony, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for its side. Alfred told Glerint that it was clear from this that the enemy would launch a counteroffensive within three hours and wait for an opportunity to flee.
Sure enough, just after half an hour in the afternoon, the deserters in front found a hillside that was conducive to their own combat and prepared to counterattack.
"Awesome!"
With a deep sigh, Glerint obeyed Isla's orders and led the team up to the enemy's flank.
Neither side of the lightly armed army has erected artillery, which is a good thing!
Glerint glanced at the enemy soldiers who were hiding behind obstacles and firing frantically, but their firepower had clearly begun to wane, and took out the "Hymn of Courage" given to him by Alfred in advance, ready to rush forward with the rest of the team.
"Woo......"
The muffled sound of a horn was imminent, and Glerint didn't know which squad was the first to attack. Immediately, he also raised the "Hymn of Courage" in his hand, took a deep breath, and then blew hard.
"Woo......"
The sound of trumpets immediately echoed each other, and there were four teams on the entire flank that were about the same size as Glellint's here.
"Rush!"
He let out a loud shout and rushed out first, playing a good role as a team leader.
And the strange thing is that in the direction where he himself was, the enemy soldiers stopped shooting. They all turned their guns to the side by coincidence, as if they were completely unwilling to hurt Glerint.
They didn't fight, but Glerint's soldiers didn't hesitate, except for a few astute team members who found a little abnormality, most of the members really thought that Gleilint had caught a wave of enemy soldiers by chance, so they all launched a fierce attack!
At the same time, Glerint looked around and quickly identified one of the enemy's leaders.
I saw him stretch out his hand and point at the gorgeous ceremonial sword, and accurately locked the other party!
Suddenly, a ceremonial thin sword with the exact same shape instantly condensed above the target's head, and seemed to be about to stab down at any moment.
This "judgment" target chosen by Gleilint did not know what was happening for a while, but instinctively sensed danger, as if it were an animal in nature that had been locked by natural predators.
"Cool!"
Looking at the phantom of the "Sword of Judgment" that moved with the target and always hung high above it, Gleilint still had the strength to admire. Then, his figure suddenly blurred, and then directly "flashed" to the side of the target.
Seeing that this target was about to be struck by Glerint's sword, his whole person suddenly turned into a stream of blazing white flames, which shot accurately into Glerint's heart.
Glerint was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth hooked up, and he calmly raised his chest to meet him.
"It's still not a big fish...... Pity! ”
The time was too short, and although the other party noticed the Gleilint abnormality, he didn't have time to turn around at all.
"Bang!"
In the violent collision, Gleilint did not retreat, and under the trench coat that was blown open by the fire on his chest, a beautiful book cover was faintly revealed. However, the blazing flame stream was directly bounced back, and was forced to land and revert to a rolling enemy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gleilynt took a big step forward and handed the slender straight sword in his hand forward with feeling.
At this time, the enemy's body was covered with a layer of blazing flames in a timely manner, trying to protect himself...... But it didn't work as he expected, and the "Sword of Judgment" only stagnated slightly, and then ruthlessly pierced through his neck!
"Use the flames to block the piercing attack of the long sword, tsk......"
A few seconds later, Gleilynt glanced playfully at the half-charred corpse on the ground, and spat out a taunt that seemed to be going the other way. Of course, he didn't actually know that if he changed to an ordinary weapon, he was afraid that it would be melted as soon as he touched this intense heat.
Then, his gaze was cast on an enemy who was fighting a certain Rune "Inquisitor", and the ornate ceremonial rappier pointed at him with precision, and the figure quickly blurred......
……
Fifteen minutes later, the flanks were largely cleared, and the enemy troops had roughly deployed a hundred or so men on this side.
With his strong personal force, Glerint subdued the other three leaders and took temporary leadership.
The flanks were followed by the enemy's main force, and while Glerint sent a small group of soldiers to pursue the remnants, he informed the three leaders to temporarily slow down the pace of the attack and wait for Isla's main force and the flank soldiers led by Alfred from the other direction to attack.
And Glerlint, who was free, was embarrassed to find that the casual taunt he had just made about the dead corpse was actually judged to be "arrogant" by the "Sword of Judgment...... As a last resort, he was deprived of an extraordinary ability, which was the "Extraordinary Mental Resistance Ability" brought to him by the "Barbarian" of Sequence Eight, which would take at least 24 hours to recover.
"Is 'bad mouth' also 'arrogance'?"
Fortunately, it is better to find out now that it is better than suddenly discovering that a key extraordinary ability cannot be used during a fight.
……
Within a few minutes, shouts of killing came from the direction of Isla's main attack, as well as from another direction.
"Woo......"
The long, low signal of the attack was once again transmitted from the "hymn of courage", and this time Glerint did not attach any "bribes" to it, in case he became a key target for the enemy in the case of the closest distance.
"Woo......"
Two other trumpets were heard, echoing each other.
For a while, the three parties rushed together to the last part of the rebel army.
"The enemy originally had 500 men left...... I know that there are more than 100 people on my side, and the other two sides together should not be less than 200 people. That is, the enemy has a maximum of 200 soldiers? ”
Glerin thought for a moment, thinking that if he didn't consider the extraordinary, he could easily defeat the other party with these four teams of men and horses.
It was only when he got closer that Glerint saw that on Isla's side, most of the enemy's attacks were "chaotic" and could not form effective damage...... And in turn, every attack of Isla's extraordinary people, as long as it hits the enemy, he is "magnified" into "execution".
"This is Isla's personal 'Level 1' seal...... Seems to be the 'Fallen Earl' corresponding to my Sequence 4. ”
This is because Isla is a "Knight of Punishment" and obviously should not have the extraordinary ability of "Chaos", so Glerint judged that this was what Alfred said, Isla's private "Level 1" seal.
……
At this time, there was a red-haired guy with a deep forehead in the enemy army, with a calm expression, not at all as depressed as the battlefield situation. He looked around and gestured to the guards with his eyes, and they tacitly protected him.
"The complete brain of the Spirit Fire Lion, a pair of scythes of the Blood Mantis, 100 ml of blood of the Spirit Fire Lion, and the complete compound eyes of the Blood Mantis......"
With a calm and calm expression, a cup of rust-red potion took shape!
Looking around at all the guards again, the red-haired, deep-fronted guy put the cup in his mouth and tilted his head back resolutely.
Under the test of life and death, he fully believes that his team will have enough tacit understanding...... If it's not tacit enough, then let's finish playing together!
