Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid chapter 41
41 – 11. The inevitable (3)
As ordered by Shien, the reserve team moves to the rear.
To a place completely away from the main unit that was preparing for battle.
This caused some confusion on both sides.
I wonder why the main unit suddenly pulled out of the reserve unit as the main unit.
The reserve team wondered why they were leaving the battlefield as a reserve battalion.
In particular, the agitation of the main unit was a little more severe.
It’s a reserve unit that allows you to go into battle with peace of mind.
If they fall in, of course there is no choice but to have such a reaction.
Soon the entrance to the demonic realm will open and demonic beasts will pour out.
In such a situation, agitation is more lethal than anything else.
“Quiet everyone! Be quiet! Soon they will pour out!”
“The reserve is moving for the reason of the reserve. We just have to do what we have to do.”
“Why are you kids without them! Isn’t that right!!”
Fortunately, those who command the soldiers, and the soldiers who are commanded by them.
It’s not like a recruit who has never experienced combat before.
What a terrible existence they have to deal with.
I know that even if I show a little gap, I will lose my life in an instant.
Therefore, further agitation is of no benefit.
“Magic Field Creation! The bastards are out!”
“All ready for battle!!”
The two groups that formed a camp glared at each other.
Let’s go back alive today. Alive, let’s have dinner at home.
After a while, a grotesque sound is heard from beyond the mouth of hell.
Kiek!!-
That’s right!!-
From nob le mt l. co m
Monsters that get excited when they smell their prey.
They screamed in unison and ran forward.
They had nothing to catch and eat, so they used to eat even their own people.
To those guys, the smell of humans right in front of their eyes.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a well-prepared delicacy.
“shooting!”
Fighting!-
Tung!-
The archers who were waiting fired arrows at once.
Even spear knives can’t work well, so what’s the use?
Even if the killing power is low, one of the stopping power is certain.
Witch Beasts are basically bigger than humans.
If they rush at full speed and hit the square.
A huge shock is applied, and you may break through.
Papa papak!!-
Kiek! Kihehehehe!!-
In such a situation, you can block their charge from a distance.
There is absolutely no reason to hear the evaluation that arrows are worse than no arrows.
If you’re lucky, you might get hit in the eye or vitals.
“Get the distance!”
“Approaching! Approaching!!”
At that cry, the commander of the main unit sends a signal.
At the same time, the soldiers close together and become one gigantic shield.
“Let’s not do anything shameful in the name of Liechtenauer!”
“Wow!!”
Raise your shield and hold the spear firmly.
If we endure, we all live together, and if we collapse, we all die together.
I want to return alive, so I want to run away.
But in order to live, you must not run away.
Even if it is scary or difficult, fighting is the most effective.
Quaaang!- Quaang!-
Khehehe!!-
The beasts that hit the camp open their mouths and let out screams.
In order to satisfy this hunger, they must quickly snatch prey.
You have to take more than one point than your own people.
“Turn it off!”
“Hold on! Hold on!”
“Prepare the long spear!!”
“Poke!”
While the 1st to 3rd rows keep their seats and become barriers.
The spearmen waiting in the back thrust their spears with all their might.
You don’t have to kill the demons, it’s enough just to injure them.
If you do that, the activities of the demonic beast standing in the forefront will slow down.
Conversely, it becomes a good stumbling block that restricts the activities of your own people.
Their speed has decreased a lot.
The waves, which were like houses, became smaller, and their strength weakened.
Originally, at a time like this, while closing the encirclement.
It is the standard to send in reserve forces and destroy them all at once.
Somehow, they put their strength on the side.
Or if you turn around and get out of the siege, you’ll be in trouble.
However, there is no reserve unit to do the activity now.
Although a small number of knights are moving to the flank after preparations.
It’s hard to drive like a thunder at once with them alone.
“My lord.”
Brenda looked a little worried.
The situation where the reserve forces are completely back and waiting.
Even the knights who were supposed to protect Shien were taken out and entrusted with the side of the main force.
Although they will fill the vacancy of the reserve to some extent.
If Jin disintegrates in that state, great damage will occur.
If you don’t do it, the magic beasts could push in in an instant.
I don’t want to question Shien’s decision and Adele’s opinion.
Still, there is an ‘if’, so I can’t help it.
“Wait a little longer.”
It seems that Shien is also anxious.
It’s all up to you to decide for yourself.
At this point, you may be suspicious of the person who made the comment.
However, she struggles to suppress her anxiety with her faith in Adele.
I’m not a man to guess, there must be a reason.
Why would someone who has always been quiet express his opinion?
It’s because I’m sure, it’s because I’ve experienced this kind of thing.
“My lord! Head of household!!”
And soon after, an urgent report flew in.
“Uh, that’s urgent. Detecting signs of demonic world creation from the rear!”
For a moment, Cian and Brender looked at Adele at the same time.
* * *
Even the gazes of the two men and women pouring on him.
Adele had a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.
‘It’s a case where it’s strangely increased a while ago.’
After two demonic scenes occurred at the same time.
After a while, another demonic world appears in a random place.
It had never been like this until the middle of the Great War.
As if each has its own area.
When a demonic world was created in one place, no other demonic world appeared nearby.
However, it was the first time that such a case was reported at the end.
The number showed a tendency to increase little by little.
There was a time when the emperor and his servants had serious discussions about it.
This is based on accumulated experience so far.
It was a dangerous case that could shake the entire anti-beast strategy.
But Adele was only interested in fighting.
I didn’t pay much attention to the discussion.
If the demonic world appears, it’s just a matter of fighting more.
“The demonic level is 4th grade… Ahhh! Lord! I say again! 3rd grade! Verified with 3 stars! The demon scene that appeared in the rear is level 3!!”
At the messenger’s cry, Adele looked at Shien.
Previously, she had been in great trouble due to the third-class demonic world.
However, it was only because the number of allies was insufficient at the time.
Now, the number of knights in the thoroughly prepared regular army is sufficient.
The ‘those to fight’ have already finished all their preparations.
What remains is the one who has to ‘command’ and ‘handle’ the fight.
“… Notify the reserve. Because you are in charge of the most important battle. Be thorough.”
“All right!”
After the messenger has left, Brenda quietly opens her mouth.
“My lord. Or maybe the command of the reserve team… .”
“I know that the field command already has the right person. Am I wrong?”
“It is not.”
“I think I’d better be in charge of everything here.”
As if there was something wrong with what he said, Cien looked at Brender.
At that, the knight commander shook his head and smiled.
This is a mistake that rookie commanders sometimes make.
Even if you do well at first, something big happens.
They forget their place and pay too much attention to it.
Pay attention, of course it’s not a bad thing.
However, if you focus your senses on just one place, you will be buried there.
A real commander must look at the battlefield more broadly.
“Rather, my worries are over there. Since the reserve forces now have to fight alone, they have to endure and win with their own strength against the two demons.”
After saying that, Shien glanced at Adele.
I know Adele is strong, she will be stronger than anyone in Liechtenau.
However, I can’t rely on him all the time.
Those who do not fight for themselves cannot protect themselves either.
“… Adele.”
“Yes, Shien.”
But as the situation is, there is nothing you can do about it.
There is nothing more foolish than hesitating when you have the sharpest weapon.
“You go as it is and help the reserve corps take charge of the 3rd-class demon scene.”
“I mean?”
“yes. I think you can do it without difficulty.”
“My lord!”
Brenda screams in surprise at Shien’s command.
All the knights who were already guarding the surroundings were sent down to the main unit.
The only people guarding this place are herself, Adele, and the two knights.
If, by any chance, one of the places breaks through and the demonic beasts come to this place.
In the worst case, Lichtenauer will suffer another great tragedy.
And this time, there will be no way to recover and everything will collapse.
“Captain Brander.”
But Shien was worried about Brander.
He shook his head several times and defeated him at once.
“Answer me, Adele. It’s not difficult, is it?”
It’s not difficult, it’s not difficult.
It’s just that much to himself, no, it’s just that.
However, there are parts that are quite annoying.
You don’t sweep alone, you have to assist.
If you run amok and break the reserve formation.
Witchbeasts could dig in between them and cause a melee.
They’re not as strong in melee as their former allies.
It’s not even a condition to run amok like in the 3rd grade demon spectacle incident not too long ago.
Of course, there are bound to be several restrictions on movement.
“… 10 minutes.”
However, even if you go into battle with all those limitations.
An apex predator is always an apex predator, anytime, anywhere.
“In that, I’ll finish it and come back.”
