Chapter 118 - Keima Cavalry

"All right, let's keep moving through the forest and strike a blow against Fontana's people."

　The report of Fontana's movements came just as the harvest season was ending.

　I guess that's what most of us expected.

　Last year, there was a power struggle in the Fontana region.

　As a result, the Raymond faction had been wiped out and the faction of Carlos, the actual head of the family, had taken over.

　This made it easy to read the movements of the other party.

　It is said that he has united the territory, but there are many people who are not happy about it internally.

　In order to suppress their dissatisfaction, the best thing to do was to make them look outside their own territory.

　They must be thinking of fighting the Uruks again as a common enemy and stabilizing the power within their own territory.

　And that's exactly what the Fontanas did.

"Keima-sama, we will be leaving the forest soon. Our observers report that there is no enemy on our route. We can continue our attack on the Fontana camp."

"All right, let's make a quick attack, Sensei."

"Yes, I think that would be a good idea. The Fontana family has just arrived here so they are probably taking a break to recover from the fatigue of traveling. Taking advantage of that will enable us to conclude this war with our victory."

　The man who assists me in leading the troops speaks to me.

　The old man who was once known as a fierce general of the Uruks is currently acting as my sensei. It was reassuring just by having him by my side.

With his experience in warfare cultivated through years of battles, my sensei judged that the best course of action in this battle against the Fontanas was to attack quickly.

　Thanks to the fact that the hill of Einrad had belonged to the Uruk family for quite a while, he knew all the places he could attack and the routes of attack from his opponent.

　It was on this basis that he had advised us to take this surprise attack.

　We can swoop down on the place where the army of Fontana have set up camp.

　If we can damage them here and get them off to a bad start, it will be much easier for us to win as we have the hill fortified.

　Therefore, we have to make this attack a success.

"Keima-sama, we are leaving the forest. We’ll continue as planned."

"All right, cavalry soldiers, let's go ahead and shed the blood of the Fontanas! "

　I raise my voice just in time to exit the forest.

　For this attack, I'm bringing a squad of Uruk cavalry that was stationed in the hill of Einrad.

　All of them are fierce, powerful and hardy cavalry soldiers.

　My army is racing toward the enemy camp riding scaled, two-legged cavalry Familiars.

"...... What? Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true. There is a movement from the enemy. They seem to have sensed us and are coming to intercept us.

"Sensei, what's going on?"

"Haha, Keima-sama, we just received a message. It seems that some of Fontana's troops have noticed our movement and are preparing to intercept us."

"What? I thought you said that our movements would be undetected?"

"It was supposed to be, but ....... But that's not a problem. It seems that the unit was also in the middle of other work, and only a few of them jumped out in a hurry. We could just keep going and crush them without any disturbance to our plans."

"All right, let's keep moving. Let's go."

　Foolish.

　What can a few people do?

　This is the most powerful cavalry unit out there.

　There is no way to compete with us even if you bring twice as many troops as us.

　All right.

　Let's just kick them to the grave and use our momentum to storm the enemy's main camp.

　I gave the order to all the troops to march straight to the enemy camp and proceeded towards it.

※　※　※

"Keima-sama, enemy figures confirmed. But that's ......."

"I'm not sure if they're cavalry ....... But I don't see any human silhouette."

　What is that?

We could see things heading towards our advancing troops.

To my surprise, they were not human forms.

　Are they Familiars?

　A large number of four-footed beasts were approaching us, billowing clouds of dust.

　But strangely enough, there was no one on top of the beasts.

　I wonder if they can even be called cavalry.

"A white, four-footed beast. There seems to be something on its head. Is that the type of magical Familiars that people have been talking about?"

　The "Barca Rebellion" was a major incident that suddenly occurred in the neighboring territory last year.

　Raymond, who was the acting head of Fontana, was suddenly killed.

　We have been studying the reports of this event very carefully.

　Among them, there was an unbelievable report mixed in.

　It was said that Raymond was killed by a boy whose age was still in the single digits.

　But that in itself was not a problem.

　It was the strength of the force that drew attention.

　The biggest reason why he was able to defeat Raymond, who had the advantage in terms of both battle experience and numbers, was because of a group of Familiars that suddenly burst into the battle.

　It is said that white beasts with horns kicked away the army led by Raymond by using magic.

　Magic-type Familiars are a terribly valuable and expensive weapons

　There is no way that anyone would take such a Familiar to the battlefield.

　And yet, in Barca, many of them had been deployed in actual battle.

　It's impossible.

　It was impossible to imagine how much financial damage would be caused by the death of just one such creature.

Magical beast-type Familiar beasts that we had never seen before were coming towards us.

　That means it's probably the white familiars that appeared in Barca.

　But are they insane?

　That kind of trickery will only work the first time.

　There's no way they can get through us when we already have all the information about them.

"Sensei, tell the whole army. Those white things use magic. Once we get within range of them, they’ll probably start attacking with magic. Make sure you have your shields ready."

"Yes, I understand."

"Are they all magic-types? I'd like to bring back a few of them if possible."

"Keima-sama, don't be careless while executing the mission. You never know what could go wrong."

"Don't worry, sensei. I know what I'm doing. Hmm? Who's that on the leading Familiar?"

"It looks like a child..."

"...... A child? Is that the kid that appeared in Barca!?"

　While a group of white Familiars are coming towards us, there is a human figure at the front.

　Could that be the one who killed Raymond, as we've been informed about?

　Incidentally, hadn't he led the charge in the battle with Raymond?

　I can only describe it as foolish.

　From the looks of it, our number of Familiars alone greatly exceeds theirs.

Even if they have lots of beasts that can use magic, it would be reckless to come alone to challenge a well-prepared army that is marching towards you.

　He is still a child who hasn't thought things through yet.

　He probably thinks that what worked in the last battle will definitely work this time.

"Very well. Let's show the little kid how strong Uruk's cavalry is. All of you, take up the spear formation! We'll overwhelm that leading cavalryman!"

"Yes, sir! All troops, spear formation. We're going to break through the enemy's Familiar army!"

「「「「「 To our lord! 」」」」」

　And so, my Keima cavalry clashed with the white familiars of Barca.

CadmarLegend If you didn't already realize, then this chapter is from the POV of Keima. And it apparently seems that he's leading a cavalry of dragon-like Familiars.
