The Immortal Genius Spearman (132)
“Ugh… … Ugh… … Ugh… … !”

I’m running like crazy, but I can’t see where to run to.

“Sergeant! How about we rest for a bit? All of our men will die.”

Kyle, who was running with Diana, said, breathing heavily.

Even within the Kaion unit, Kyle is considered to have excellent physical strength.

If he was breathing this heavily, the other unit members would know it without even looking.

Especially for the troops running from the rear, just keeping up could be a hassle.

“Let’s take a short break here. Squad leaders, make sure you know where your operational points are so that you can tear them apart immediately if the enemy appears.”

“All right.”

“Hoo… … Then I’ll move to the back and check the enemy’s location.”

Diana shook her head at Terka’s words.

“I’m going. You guys rest.”

“……All right.”

Even this stubbornness resembles Damien. No… … .

‘Should I say I’m trying to be like the captain?’

Of course, it must have been because of that kind of obsessive effort that he was able to show such an absurd level of dance just now.

‘Could it be that the sword energy shot by the Auror Master… … .’

There’s no way you could do something like that without two lives.

If I had only been pushed back a little, my body would have been cut in half by the sword.

Losing both swords was a huge blow, though.

‘I guess I should say I got it cheap.’

Terka let out a small sigh as she watched Diana moving backwards.

Then Jerka approached Terka.

“Captain, don’t you think you’re pushing yourself too hard?”

“It seems like you are trying to fill the void left by the deputy commander.”

“… … If this continues, I think I’ll get into trouble.”

Jerka muttered in an anxious voice.

Because it seemed to anyone that Diana was being overbearing.

But Diana bit her lip as she walked towards the rear of the unit.

‘If only I had done a little bit better…’

Diana thought of the two swords that had been shattered into pieces and the sword energy that Galberon had shot out.

‘Can we stop it again?’

If you are ignorant, you are brave. It was a bravery that I could do because I didn’t know anything.

Although it is regrettable, it is uncertain whether they will be able to successfully block that attack again.

“How on earth… how did you lead us to such a place, Commander Damian?”

Once again, his absence felt so great. And.

“… … Damn, you’re not even going to give me time to rest?”

Because it was a wide open plain, the enemy’s appearance was visible at a glance.

And that means they are visible to their enemies as well.

‘Is it really over just being able to catch my breath…?’

Diana looked around.

I looked for a place to hide in the wide open plains, but all I could find was a fairly tall reed forest.

Even that wasn’t that big, so it seemed like it would be difficult to move while leading the entire unit.

“……ha.”

Diana bit her lip tightly.

It was good that we were able to attract the guys’ attention and rescue reinforcements.

‘If this continues, we will all die.’

A decision had to be made here.

Diana quickly gathered the squad leaders.

Although it was only a ten-minute break, everyone looked much better as if their breathing had returned a little.

Diana said while looking at the squad leader level personnel.

“I will move towards the reed forest with the swift archers. Then, Kyle, Jerka, and Terka, divide your units into three groups and move to the point.”

“You’re staying here?”

“What do you plan on doing if the deputy captain is left behind against the cavalry?”

Kyle and Jerka asked with startled expressions.

No matter how fast the archers are, it is impossible to run away from a cavalry unit.

Diana said to him.

““I’ll hold out in the reeds for as long as I can and then run away.”

Somehow, we have to buy time now.

‘The kingdom must have been aware of this fact as well.’

This was the reason why Diana deliberately chose to flee south.

If we move south, there is a slightly greater chance of encountering additional reinforcements.

‘I have to survive.’

I couldn’t figure out why I was only sent to battlefields teeming with such monstrous creatures… … .

-Don’t die. Make survival your top priority, no matter what.

Can’t you disobey the commander’s orders?

Diana said to the squad leaders.

“Then let’s start the operation. If we get completely out of this point, then fire a signal flare to distract the enemies. Then we can also see the timing and run away.”

“……All right.”

“Don’t die. The commander told me not to die.”

“okay.”

Diana nodded. And.

“I’m sorry I put you through this risk.”

“No, it is an honor.”

Paul answered softly.

If Damien were here, he would say the same thing.

Paul finally nodded his head while looking at his archers.

“From now on, I will follow the orders of the Vice Captain.”

“Okay, let’s go!”

Diana began to move quickly towards the reeds, scraping the floor with her scabbard.

It seemed like a trivial action, but… … .

“……hmm?”

Galberon, who was approaching from afar, noticed the slightly rising dust and turned his gaze.

And the direction they are heading.

“Huh? Are you trying to waste time like that?”

The sight of them running through the reeds felt ridiculous.

It is a reed forest of some size.

“Where do you want to play hide-and-seek?”

But I had no intention of wasting too much time on those guys.

Galberon immediately raised his hand and shouted.

“All personnel, triangle formation. Spread out as wide as possible and take them down at once.”

“yes!”

At that command, a cavalry force of about three hundred men began to spread out widely to the left and right.

The cavalry, spread out in a line of at least thirty columns, seemed like they could be caught in an instant with just a few passes through the reeds.

“In this battle, we will sacrifice the Baroque Kingdom’s Kion unit. Those who die will be left here, so grit your teeth and follow me!”

“Yes, I understand!”

With a loud shout, Galberon’s cavalry began to advance into the reed forest.

* * *

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

It’s already been more than half a day since we entered the land of the Spanish Kingdom.

Damien, who had been riding his horse without stopping for a moment, saw a blurry group in the distance.

‘Are you an ally?’

For a moment, Damien’s eyes sparkled. But soon.

“… … !”

Damian shouted at the sight of Kyle, the leader of the unit moving quickly somewhere.

“Kyle!”

Damien’s scream, his voice filled with magic.

Kyle, who was leading his unit to the point, turned his head at the loud noise.

“Huh, what?! Captain!”

“Kyle! Report the current situation!”

Damien jumped down from his horse and looked at the men with him.

Only about a hundred people.

An uneasy thought crossed Damien’s mind as he took in the numbers at a glance.

and.

“Tongue, currently, Deputy Captain Diana and his archer unit are luring the enemy cavalry led by Auror Master Galberon. Meanwhile, Squad Leaders Jerka, Terka, and I are tearing apart each unit and moving to the key point.”

Kyle reported the situation as concisely as possible, even in urgent situations.

Damien’s expression distorted at his report.

“Where are the other two units?”

“It was torn in three directions… … .”

“……shit.”

Damien ground his teeth.

It would be foolish to gather your troops again now and go to where Diana and the archer troops are.

Isn’t that obvious?

Even if we unite the unit members we sent to save them.

‘Galberon.’

The Empire’s fourth Auror Master.

It’s so hard to see an Auror Master, so why do I run into him wherever I go?

‘Is this also my karma?’

Damien felt as if what was happening was his fault.

but.

“Kyle, you go straight to the point. I’ll go straight to Diana.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we went together?”

“no.”

Damien said firmly.

If the opponent is an Aura Master, then unit members who cannot handle magic are of no help when judged objectively.

Rather, it was more likely that he would fall victim to the guy’s aura.

‘In that case… … .’

Rather, we should take the path of creating just one opportunity, hitting them, and running away.

It can be said that it was truly a difficult journey.

“I have to go anyway.”

Damien climbed back onto his horse and grabbed the spear.

‘……idiot.’

Why would you choose death instead?

Anyway, he is an old-fashioned guy, no different from the past or the present.

If you die like that, how are the people left behind going to live?

Ugh.

‘Never, ever let someone die twice.’

This time, I will definitely save you.

As Damien pulled hard on the reins, the horse carrying Damien began to gallop quickly toward the reeds.

* * *

Pavabavabavabavabat!

In the midst of the cavalry’s rampage, the reeds began to sway violently.

Diana lowered her posture and looked at Paul, at the movement of the reeds swaying nearby.

Nod.

Nod.

Diana, who gave signals with a wink and a nod, slowly began to move in the other direction.

When I looked at their current movements, they were moving through the reeds in a wide formation as if they were spreading their wings.

And after running in a straight line, it changes direction and moves to the side again, then runs in a straight line again.

‘They move while overlapping each point.’

Perhaps they thought all of the Kaion unit members were there and wanted to conduct an intensive search.

It would be impossible for three hundred soldiers to change positions at the same time.

‘It was a good thing I brought only the archers.’

Moreover, before entering the reed forest, it seemed that the dust raised by the scabbard and other weapons could have confused the guys.

“Move.”

Diana, who spoke in a whisper, quickly started moving in the direction the guys had searched and passed by.

Because I’ve managed to avoid their searches once in this manner so far.

‘By now… …everyone should have moved.’

Now they just have to get out of here and run away.

Diana gathered where the guys had passed and lowered her stance.

Diana then quickly gathered her men and spoke.

“How about breaking the arrows you have and sticking them diagonally into the ground? That way, the arrowheads point upwards to create a trap.”

“You are thinking of hurting the horse’s leg.”

Nod.

Even if they were to escape from here, they would need to reduce their mobility in order to escape.

Of course, I don’t know how much damage a trap made by thirty people can cause… … .

‘Still, I have to make a fuss somehow.’

Everyone nodded to Diana’s opinion.

“Then let’s hurry. Everyone, space yourself out and plant arrows on the ground to create a trap.”

Although he whispered softly, his urgency was evident.

All the archers nodded and emptied their quivers of arrows.

Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!

One group broke the arrows, while another group quickly moved forward and began to plant the arrows in the ground.

‘If they know that we are not on the other side, they will definitely come back this way.’

And if the guys get caught in this arrow trap, that’s a great opportunity to escape.

Diana hurriedly set up a trap by planting an arrow in the ground.

But then.

“You’re doing something interesting.”

“… … !”

A voice suddenly comes from behind.

Diana turned her head in surprise as if she had seen a ghost.

And with a dozen knights standing there.

“Go, Galberon… … !”

Auror Master Galberon was watching them from his horse.
