Episode 789: Stolen Heirlooms (11)

The Goblin Queen serves tea.

The fishy smell of mud seems to be the goblins’ favorite tea.

“Thank you for your effort. As promised, the high elves said they would join the war.”

“How many troops do you have in total?”

“Thirty thousand.”

“It’s subtle.”

“Since it is a newly emerging principality, it has to be. Even 30,000 people is great.”

well that’s it

Being able to mobilize the number of 30,000 as troops in a situation where it is now receiving territories is itself a military power comparable to that of a grand duchy or small kingdom.

Even that is mostly thanks to the goblins’ tremendous fertility.

“The Dwarves have also expressed their intention to participate.”

“Thank you for your heart, but I will decline.”

“The goblin god takes special care of them.”

“It’s not like that. There are only a few numbers, so it’s just that there’s no point in going to the front lines. I don’t know if you make a weapon from behind.”

“Then I will pass it on. And this…”

The Goblin Queen lightly put down a letter.

When I opened the paper, inside was a map with a red line drawn on it.

Intricately tangled lines.

From Ray’s point of view, it looked like a route to the kingdom.

“It’s a map of the Kingdom of Celia. Is this red line the Allied route?”

“yes. Would you like to find out?”

“What roughly.”

Ray continued to scan the map.

The situation is strange.

Confronting on the plain are 20,000 allied forces and 10,000 troops from Celia.

However, the red lines on the map were roughly 50,000 soldiers.

“Is it an ambush?”

The Goblin Queen nodded slightly.

“Right now, it’s just speculation.”

“It’s going to draw attention from the plains and hit the kingdom from behind.”

“Since the king himself led the army and emptied the kingdom, he must have thought it was the right time.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“Even if we can’t capture the kingdom, we’ll easily catch the king trapped in the lowfield plains.”

The worst and the lesser came at once.

When the king dies, the Celia kingdom is over.

However, the moment you try to protect the king by dragging the remaining troops in the kingdom and going out to the Lofield plains, the kingdom of Celia will be occupied by the allied forces.

“Does the king know?”

“Even if I knew, I wouldn’t be able to move.”

A rat in a poison.

Perhaps the coalition was aiming for this from the beginning.

Ray bit his nails.

‘I can’t expect support from Glaman or Baybon.’

Even if reinforcements arrive, it will be after the Celia army has already been destroyed.

It seems that Gaia’s revelations were safely delivered to the Holy Land by the guards, but the sentry’s dispatched battalion alone was not enough to deal with the allied forces.

While they were preparing for the temple, they intended to hold out, but only then did the Celia kingdom disappear first.

And the moment that Celia ended, it could be said that it was the turn of the principality next to it.

said the Goblin Queen.

“If there are about 20,000 people right now, we can prepare.”

two-thirds of the power.

It is too risky to send troops all at once.

To be honest, I wanted to save my troops until the very end, but now only the principality can help Celia.

After thinking for a while, Ray made a decision.

“Prepare a thousand people you can trust. I go myself.”

“If it’s a thousand people…”

Sure enough, a worried voice came out of the queen’s mouth.

“War is not all about individual armed forces.”

“I know. So I’m going to take someone I can trust.”

“If you’re someone you can trust…”

Before the queen could finish her words, the door burst open and a young man with a cold look entered.

He strode forward and knelt down in front of Ray.

“I will also go with the lord.”

Looks messed up all over the place.

It was a pretty messy outfit because the water hadn’t drained from his face.

Zeke, who had been training alone against monsters for a while to expand the territory of the duchy, returned to the duchy.

“I will accept the sin of not noticing the coming of my lord in advance because I was engrossed in my life.”

If left unattended, it feels as if my throat would be cut.

Ray tapped him on the shoulder.

“I’m sorry as soon as I get back, but I’ll have to go to the plains with you.”

“It is a great honor for me to be with my lord on the battlefield. I will gladly follow you.”

In times like these, blind loyalty feels like a blessing.

said the Goblin Queen.

“Then, when are you going to leave?”

“Do it tonight.”

“All right. I will prepare those who can be called the elite.”

The prelude to war has risen.

The fire quickly spread to the surroundings.

* * *

Three thousand soldiers, led by Fort, passed by hiding under the hills of the plain.

They were moving on foot as it was a situation where they should not be seen by the enemy.

The target of those who went out without even food was the rear or flank of the allied forces.

Lawfield Plain was literally a gentle plain, so they had to turn around as much as possible.

Thanks to this, it only took more than half a day to go to the side of the allied forces.

Arriving safely at the target point, they looked at the situation with a scout in front.

“There is no movement yet.”

“Wait a little longer.”

At Fort’s command, they waited another half day.

After spending more than half of the day at the bottom of the hill, the results finally began to emerge one by one.

As night fell, a modest banquet was held among the allied forces in honor of the victory in the last battle.

At first, it seemed to start calmly, but after a while, the soldiers exchanged drinks with each other and started drinking in succession.

Things are going better than expected.

at that time.

A soldier on guard saw them and immediately shouted:

“It’s a raid! Celia’s army has invaded!”

lost a player

Not to be outdone by this, Port drew his sword and shouted.

“Go ahead!”

“Wow!”

Chae Ae Ae-!

Caan-!

In no time, the banquet seat was stained with blood.

The sound of clashing weapons could be heard intermittently, but it was soon overshadowed by screams.

“S raid! Aaaaagh!”

Like the Celia army, the allied forces also failed to resist.

He must have never thought that he would receive a counterattack in one day.

Even at that moment, Port was not vigilant and focused on reading the war situation.

Let’s get around when reinforcements come from the main unit of the allied forces.

He raised his fist and held it by his ear.

“Retreat!”

“Retreat! Everyone back down!”

When the order fell, the centurion commanders and the tens chiefs stepped forward and moved the soldiers again.

A well-trained movement.

Just like when they came in, they suddenly ran away, so I didn’t even dare to pursue them.

When the commander of the allied forces came to his senses, it was after they had already gone far away.

“They don’t ride horses! Go after it at all costs!”

“yes!”

The cavalrymen led the way.

As soon as the spear was laid at an angle and the speed increased, the distance between the two troops was quickly filled.

Of course, this was also within the port’s assumption.

“Pull!”

Whii Iik-!

The soldiers hiding in advance pulled the rope vigorously.

At that, the allied war horses flew away with the same momentum as they were running.

The horses chug along with a creepy sound.

The fleeing soldiers took out their weapons again and killed the fallen cavalry soldiers with certainty.

The cavalrymen who were over fifty were slain in front of their eyes again.

“Retreat!”

“Retreat!”

It was a pleasant victory for the Allies.

* * *

Killed five hundred people without sacrificing a single person and came back.

When Fort returns to Celia’s camp.

He was a hero once again, as he had been in the past.

“I’m glad you have a kyeong.”

Port, who had been highly praised by the king, knelt down on one knee.

“I’m sorry. I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity.”

It is said that rice lowers its head as it ripens.

King Deogard became even more willing to see that humble attitude, even though he had returned after accumulating achievements.

“When I go back, I’ll honor you sir.”

“I will follow you until I run out of breath.”

innate tactical prowess.

At the same time, he was loyal and upright, earning the king’s trust.

Naturally, there were many who did not like him.

“your majesty. I’ll see you next time. It’s not comparable to Lord Fort, but I will lead my body, who has been on the battlefield since I was young, and bring victory without fail.”

“I have gone through countless hand-to-hand combat on the plains. I dare to say that I will be of help in this area.”

The aristocrats who coveted merit begged beside him as if pleading.

Of course, in the eyes of King Deogard, he only saw the port, but it was not a good idea to keep rejecting their request.

Sometimes I had to give up my troops even though I knew that I would lose money.

So that proud nobles would not harbor resentments.

“Then let’s leave the next battle to Marquis Chloe.”

The Marquis of Chloe, who had a large number of soldiers, was pleased with him.

Merit in war is like a chance for promotion for aristocrats.

Until now, he had not been able to move forward from the position of Marquis, but he could have been elevated to the position of duke if he made good use of this opportunity.

Marquis Chloe knelt down and answered.

“I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty’s expectations.”

* * *

King Theogard gave 2,000 soldiers to the Marquis of Chloe.

On the day of the change of command, Marquis Chloe set up a strategy.

“They must be bewildered by last night’s attack. It would be unimaginable to attack again.”

“I’m sorry, but that means…”

“One more attack tonight.”

The words, like thunder from the sky, terrified the soldiers.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Raids are basically something that happens once in a while and gets eaten.

Now that the surveillance has become quite strict, and he will be vigilant, it can be said that the possibility of the Marquis’ strategy being effective is slim.

“The fatigue of the soldiers is considerable.”

“That’s right. Besides, they are not easy enough to be beaten twice by the same number.”

The centurion chiefs, who couldn’t bear to say that it was a dog’s death, dissuaded him.

However, Marquis Chloe did not break her will.

“I know you are concerned. But my old sense is telling. Now is the time to venture out once more.”

The Marquis said let’s all die together.

I wanted to confront him in a moment of anger, but the opponent is a high-ranking noble who has the right to dispose of a decision.

Moreover, in times of war, they were removed just by going against their planting, so there was nothing good about opening their mouths.

In the end, the centurions turned to each other but said nothing.

“You know I have no objections. Then I’ll finish the preparations by tonight.”

Marquis Chloe just said her words and stood up.

Inside the barracks, only the sighs of the centurion continued.
