Lafayence's voice echoed from the front lines, almost like a scream. He shouted out to the soldiers around him as he pushed past the oncoming enemy.
"The others may move, but we, Lafayence's men in the front line, do not move!
The surrounding area was already in a state of melee, and the enemy was charging at him, bringing out swords and spears one after another. He could neither retreat nor advance. He kicked away the oncoming enemies with his spear and shouted louder and louder.
"Thousands and thousands of bees fly for honey, but they never scatter because there is always a hive that never moves! Don't move! We will not move, we will fight! I know you can do it!
At the old general's voice, the soldiers shouted, "Oh! The loudest shouts of "I'm sorry! He looks pleased to hear it. The next moment, however, his expression turns grim and he turns his gaze in the direction of the riverbank.
There, a man in bright red armor was running amok. In all of Lafayence's long history of warfare, he had never seen such a man before.
"The devil," he said, "is such a man. ......"
He couldn't help but say these words when he saw the way they were fighting.
In fact, Lumine, the man in red armor, was attacking with a long spear, while his hard armor was holding up the attacks of the soldiers that Lafayence had trained with great care. So far, the soldiers had managed to stop him just as he was coming out of the river and had successfully avoided his brute force attacks, but it was obvious that they would be outgunned in this situation.
On the contrary, some of the troops deployed on the left flank were crossing the river toward their own position. They were already struggling to hold off the enemy in front of them, and now an even larger force was closing in on them. Lafayence frowned.
"Gooooo!"
At that moment, a voice echoes across the battlefield, sounding like the bellowing of a bull. Lumine looked over and saw the Owaras from the Mideast surrounding Lumine. They were spinning around Luminine, holding up the index and middle fingers of their right hands and mumbling some kind of incantation. Soon after, Lumine kneels down on one knee and stops the movement of his huge body.
"Thrust!"
At the same time as narwhal's words, the owaras scattered and began to defeat the enemies around them. They carried short swords, which they used to strike the enemy's vital points with one thrust, efficiently killing them. It was so impressive that Lafayence forgot about the battle for a moment.
"Sh...... General!"
The voice of his subordinate next to him brought him back to himself.
"That red creature must be left to the O'wallahs! Or better yet, ...... that lefty."
He analyzes the war situation desperately as he cuts down the oncoming enemies. He thinks of a way out, but nothing effective comes to mind.
"This is going to kill me.
He mutters to no one in particular. So far, he has been able to deal with the soldiers who have been cutting at him without any problems. He has killed many enemies so far, but his body still works. But if this continues for a few more hours, it will be a different story.
At that moment, a sound like a rumbling of the earth is heard from the left flank. I involuntarily looked in that direction and saw the majority of Vieille's forces charging toward Tana's side.
"Well, that little girl, you know what I mean. You're not just here to watch the battle, are you? Or is it the guidance of our god of war?"
He turned his gaze in the direction of the left wing, and with a grin on his face, he said, "No! With a roar, he thrusts out his spear. At that moment, "Gah! A knight flies through the air. His spear had hit the knight's whistle precisely. However, the spear was broken right in the middle of the hilt. He clicked his tongue and quickly drew the sword at his waist.
"Even if this Lafayence dies, do not be disheartened! If you can hold out for a while longer, the Sandanji army will surely arrive! Patience now! Do not move!"
He shouts loudly, and several more knights attack him. But he cuts them down with his brilliant swordsmanship. On the other hand, his fatigue is steadily accumulating in his body.
The old general's struggle was clearly visible to the Lamarons guarding the right wing. With an overwhelmingly small force, they were taking on an enemy force that was almost twice as large as theirs. This situation greatly encouraged the Lamarong forces.
"Such an old man works so hard! There is nothing our young men cannot do! Take the wheel! Defeat the enemy!"
With these words, they attacked the Tana forces in front of them.
This was clearly visible from the main camp of Thana's army. The king's ville wrinkled his brow and moved his eyes intensely, trying to grasp the whole battlefield.
"...... We have not been able to attack fully.
No one responds to his mutterings. Everyone around him bowed their heads reverently. He was frustrated. Never before in his experience had he had such a bad idea of what he wanted to do. He, too, was forced to fight against his impatience.
There were three reasons for his impatience. The first was the movement of the Sandanji forces, which would cut off his retreat once they arrived at this battlefield. With his current forces, it would be no problem to defeat them, but he did not want the appearance of Sandanji's army to seemingly surround Tana's army, which would raise the morale of the enemy and lower that of the allies.
Second, Vieille was deploying on the right flank. He did not quite understand this move. Thanks to her move, the front line of Crimiana's army was stretched out. It would probably be easy to break through there, and from there, it would be possible to attack the enemy's main line. However, he knew intuitively that this plan would fail, and on the contrary, it would inflict heavy damage on Tana's army. Why this would be so, he did not know now. Rather, he had no idea what the enemy general, Rinos, was thinking, or what he was going to do.
Finally, there was the absence of his right hand man, Octa. With him, he would be able to expand the scope of his operations and, in the worst case, return his entire army to his own country in an instant. But he has disappeared without a trace. The "magic containment" maneuver, created by detonating the Prill stone, was still in effect, but he was especially afraid that if Octa did not return, the Agarthans would move to attack with magic.
Ville looks carefully around the battlefield. Then his gaze falls on a point. Ville slowly rises from his chair and quickly raises the baton in his hand.
"Get his head. That is the heart of Agartha's army. Seize his head with all your might. And the Agarthans will fall from their firm position.
Where his baton pointed, there was Lafayence, the great general who was still fighting hard.
......How long have they been fighting? In fact, it seemed like not so long, but Lafayence felt fatigue all over his body. The sword in his right hand was already so battered that he could no longer defeat his enemies except by thrusting. However, he is still beating the saddles of the soldiers around him with his fists and encouraging them to defeat the oncoming enemies, with a devilish expression on his face. Then he saw Tana's army on the other side of the river charging toward him.
"Sh, General! No more!
A cry that borders on an exclamation can be heard from my men. But he calls out to the soldiers with all his might.
"Don't move!
At that moment, the soldiers start cheering in the northeast direction. They looked over and saw the army gathering one after another on the other side of the river. Lafayence intuitively sensed that they were Sandanj's army. He raised his sword and shouted loudly.
"Behold! That's the Sandanji army! We have won! We have won!"
At that moment, several arrows pierced Lafayence's body. One of them was lodged deep into his neck. He slowly fell from his horse, his sword raised in the air. .......
