The Immortal Genius Spearman (136)
“You fucking Auror Master… …!”

Haymond, who had been advancing toward Sragan under Esteban’s orders, suddenly cursed at the news of Galberon’s retreat.

Wasn’t the original plan based on striking Sragan from the front and back with Galberon?

The number of troops that Esteban gave was 7,000.

Although it may be said to be a considerable number of troops, it is quite difficult to attack Sragan with this number of troops.

Not only is it a numerical disadvantage, but doesn’t the opponent have the advantage of being able to defend?

‘It will be difficult to enter unless one side of the wall is completely destroyed by Galberon’s aura.’

In any case, it was impossible to attack the guys who were on Mercury without Galberon.

Haymond frowned as he looked at his subordinate who had reported the situation.

“Send a messenger to General Galberon immediately. Tell him to return with three thousand troops and rejoin us here.”

It’s unclear what happened down there, but without Galberon this fight would be meaningless.

Because it is impossible for an army of 7,000 men to capture a castle guarded by over 20,000 soldiers.

Especially when there are no siege weapons.

At Haymond’s command, his subordinate nodded and quickly turned around to leave for where Galberon was.

And right after the subordinate leaves.

“… … How did the empire’s status fall so low?”

His sighs and mutterings came out softly.

* * *

It was a conference room filled with silence.

Even Mateus, who held full military authority over the Spanish Kingdom, could not make a decision easily.

Then Heinel asked him.

“What do you think, General Mateus?”

As an agent of the Allies, I asked him about his intentions.

As Damian said, whether or not to fight this fight was entirely up to Mateus.

but.

“If we don’t fight, we will withdraw our troops and return to our home country. Given the current situation, we cannot afford to leave our home country empty for too long.”

“… … .”

It meant that we had to fight in the end.

Mateus frowned as if he was pondering a difficult problem.

Because we had to calculate how much our troops would be lost if we went outside and fought those guys.

but…….

“… … Is Duke Heinel also participating in the war?”

“As I said before, wouldn’t it be enough to suppress the Imperial Auror Masters?”

Mateus nodded at Heinel’s words.

As he said, if the Imperial Auror Masters do not interfere… … .

‘Maybe this is my chance.’

But I hesitated because I didn’t have enough to do that.

‘Because I have nothing, I can pour everything out.’

If we can completely destroy the Empire’s forces through this battle, their power will be greatly reduced.

Then Mateus nodded.

“Then let us do it. This battle will show the Empire that we are not just a weakling.”

Diorant’s eyes shook at those words.

“Are you serious?”

“There is no way. Even if we just sit back and block them, if the Empire raises an even larger army, we won’t have the power to stop them.”

If they learn that they too can be bitten by this incident, they will have no choice but to be more careful.

Heinel nodded.

“I will respect the decision of the Spanish Kingdom. Then, as promised, I will restrain the Auror Master of the Empire from moving.”

“I will lead the troops and strike the right flank of the empire.”

Diorant frowned at Damien’s words. What on earth is going on…?

But soon he spoke with a calm expression.

“Then I will lead the army and attack from the left.”

“But will the right side be sufficient with just the Kion unit? They’ll need troop support.”

Heinel asked.

It was because the balance was off when attacking from the left and right. Then Damian shook his head.

“If General Diorant makes the first move, the enemy’s attention will be drawn to the left. If I then attack the right, I think a smaller force would be better.”

What the Kaion unit has is extremely strong mobility.

If we can make good use of that mobility and strike the enemy’s flank and escape, the army led by General Mateus will be able to gain great strength from the front later.

Heinel nodded.

“then…….”

Heinel looked out the window.

Daytime when the sun is still up.

“After the sun has set, at dawn, it would be best to prepare to set out then.”

All the commanders present nodded at those words.

* * *

“Vice Commander.”

After the meeting, Damian returned straight to the Kion unit and began to check the unit’s situation.

“What is the current situation of the unit?”

“There are 17 dead and 32 injured. The injuries are not severe, but it seems difficult to go into battle right away.”

Terka, in place of Deputy Commander Diana, inspected the status of the unit while Damian was away.

The scale of the damage is approximately 50 people.

It was quite a loss for the three hundred strong Kaion force.

but.

“Exclude the wounded and call in the squad leaders.”

“All right.”

Terka answered Damien’s words and quickly gathered the squad leaders.

Finally, when all the squad leaders gathered, Damian unfolded a map showing the north of Sraggan and spoke.

“This is a map I received from General Mateus. Let’s look at it together after the meeting so that we can fully learn the geography.”

“All right.”

“Yes, Captain.”

The squad leaders responded to Damien’s words.

Damien nodded and continued.

“Tomorrow at dawn, we will escape through the eastern gate of Sragan.”

Damien moved the branch he was holding against the map.

“Take a detour like this and seize the hill here. Then, when the battle breaks out on the left side of the Imperial Army, go straight down and attack the enemy’s right side.”

“Are you attacking the Imperial Army?”

Terka asked with a slightly surprised expression. Damian nodded.

“What’s the problem?”

“Ah… … No.”

Perhaps Terka is hesitating because the Empire has not yet moved.

If we fight when they attack, it will be a ‘defense’, but in the current situation, it will be our ‘preemptive strike’.

‘Is this something that can’t be helped?’

But that was what made the attack all the more successful.

Because it could be something that could change the perception of many people.

The squad leaders of the Kaion unit continued to plan detailed operations, concentrating on Damien’s words. And then… … .

“But, Commander, who will fill the position left by Deputy Commander Diana?”

“Leave it empty. I’ll take care of it.”

“It won’t be easy to conduct and transmit the message, will you be okay with that?”

Diana’s role was to lead the unit and relay Damien’s orders to each squad leader.

It would be best if you had a guy though.

“It’s okay, I’ll do it.”

“All right.”

“yes.”

Everyone nodded at Damien’s words.

“Tell all the men in the unit to get some sleep before the operation begins. If they can’t sleep, tell them to close their eyes and rest. The battle at dawn is… .”

Swish.

Damian looked at the Imperial forces waiting north of Sraggan.

Damian said.

“It’s going to be a very fierce battle.”

Perhaps this battle could be a major turning point that could change the landscape of the continent.

Everyone nodded and started moving to their seats.

* * *

“… … How many years has it been?”

Before we knew it, the sun had set, the day was over, and night had come.

Heinel, looking at the darkened night sky, recalled a memory from a very long time ago.

Just before the time of peace came, when the continent was in chaos and war was constant.

‘Only 12 years… … .’

No, I should say 12 years.

The period of peace lasted a long time.

Of course, in between, battles broke out all over the continent.

But now the atmosphere is completely different from back then.

We need people who can stand up to the greed of the empire that is determined to swallow up the continent.

‘… …Damian.’

-How about attacking first?

Many people will say that he is brazen, arrogant, and out of his element.

But in Heinel’s eyes, he was a completely different style of soldier than before.

The look in his eyes was like that of someone who lived in a past war-ridden era, unable to come out of a time of peace.

‘How can that young man have such eyes?’

For a moment, I wondered what kind of life he had lived. But… … .

“First of all, we need to take care of what’s at hand.”

It was now dawn.

Heinel turned his head and saw his subordinate entering the room he was in.

“Are you ready?”

“yes.”

“Where is Galberon?”

“It is located a little east of Sragan.”

“I see… …I see.”

Although the troops were defeated, they are waiting in a place where they can join up at any time if necessary.

The guys haven’t given up on Sraggan yet. So… … .

“I definitely have to make him give up.”

To do that… … .

“I believe it.”

Who are the people who will shoulder the future ahead?

* * *

Complete darkness, with even the moonlight obscured by clouds.

The Kion force, moving hidden in the pitch-black shadows, quickly hid themselves on the eastern hill where the imperial army was.

Although the terrain was low, the bushes were quite dense, so it was a place where complete hiding was possible if you crouched down.

Damian, who was at the very front, saw the Imperial soldiers far away.

‘If I run down the hill… … it’ll probably take about 5 minutes.’

As long as the moonlight isn’t shining down, you can get two minutes without being detected by them.

Moreover, if the units waiting in the west launch a preemptive strike, attention will turn in that direction.

‘They might not know until we attack.’

If you do that, you will be able to start the battle with a good hit right from the start.

Damien quietly held his breath and slowly moved his troops down the hill.

and…….

Nod.

The other unit members also followed Damien quietly, holding their breath.

Anyway, I’m familiar with all the operations.

Now, all we have to do is… …wait for the signal.

Thump, thump, thump.

But for some reason, my heart felt like it was beating faster than usual.

Because everyone knows it instinctively.

This means that this fight is a little different in nature from the previous ones.

But what is clear is that if this battle ends.

‘A lot of things will change.’

Whether it’s the situation on the continent, the situation in the empire, or… … the growth of the Kion unit.

Damien held his breath and gripped the spear tightly, confident.

And then the cold silence continued for a while.

Jajajajajajajajajak!

Arrows shot through the darkness and soared into the sky, landing on the heads of the imperial soldiers.

“Eww!”

“It’s an enemy raid! It’s an enemy archer attack!”

The imperial army began to stir greatly.

That’s because I never expected that the guys in Sraggan would come out first and start a fight.

Hurrruk!

“Kill all the soldiers of the Empire!”

“Oh my god!”

As the soldiers commanded by Diorant charged towards the Imperial army, all the Imperial soldiers’ attention began to focus there.

And right then.

“Kaion Unit, lower your bodies as much as possible and charge towards the guys.”

The Kion Forces became a secret dagger hidden in the shadows, reaching out towards the heart of the Imperial Army.
