Chapter 365: 365 - - 365th episode. - Tragic.

The commander, Honsch, on the other hand, could not accept the devastation in front of him.

A dry burst of sound rang out, and one by one, the soldiers who had been charging fell from their horses. It was the same for Lumine, who was leading the charge. He was wearing full-guard armor made of thick steel, capable of withstanding considerable magical and physical attacks, and he had been knocked down, his armor with large indentations here and there. He lies sprawled out on the sand, motionless, having already lost the ability to fight. This had never happened before in all the battles he had fought.

"All troops, hold together!　Use the shields to defend!"

At Honsch's command, the soldiers quickly moved to form a perimeter around themselves. As they thought of this, they heard a sound like a rumbling of the earth. I looked up and saw a group of Agartha's army, which had been retreating up the hill, suddenly attacked. They were attacking with a speed I had never seen before, and without saying a word. The sheer eeriness of it all took Honshu's breath away.

"Defense!"

The order was given almost simultaneously with the flood of Agartha's troops.

"Gah!"

"Whoa!"

"Ggh!"

Soldiers' voices are raised here and there. At the same time, the sound of metal clashing against metal is heard. It seems that the enemy is trying to break us down with their spears, but I am somewhat confident in my ability to defend myself with this shield. Perhaps the enemy will be upset when they realize that they cannot break us down. Then we can turn to the attack: .......

As I think of this, the sound of horses' hoofs is getting farther and farther away. Honshu makes a gap between the shields and looks around through the gap. He sees the group of people who had just attacked him pulling up on the hill.

"Release them!　Report the situation!"

He glared in the direction from which the Agarthans were pulling up, as he heard the sound of soldiers' armor rubbing against each other.

"As expected."

It was Knogen who was speaking to us with a beaming smile on his face. He looked at Almond, who was sitting on his horse, catching his breath. He glared at Knogen with sharp eyes.

"How did it go? How well did Tana's army defend itself?"

"Hard."

"Oh."

"But it is not without holes. If we could drive our spears into any gap between the shields, or any gap between the shields and the shields, we could take out the soldiers inside. And ...... their feet were almost unprotected. If you aim there, you can break down that solid defense."

"I didn't think you could see that much after just one fight. ....... No, I'm glad you're on my side.

"Don't be flattered. It's not in my nature to fight with people who don't ...... move like this."

Almond spit out his words and slowly advanced his horse. Knogen looked off at his back with a smile.

"All right, report the damage here!　...... all return?　Good, that's good. No one dies in vain. As soon as you see danger, run. It doesn't matter if it's not the enemy. If you sense the presence of a demon... run. Even at night, there are poisonous scorpions in the desert. Tell them to be very careful."

The soldier, who had been kneeling and listening to Knogen's orders, responded with a huff and left the place at a brisk pace.

"Isn't that too sweet?"

The Princess Rufana is the one with the dubious look on her face. She is still clad in her heavy armor and approaches Knogen's side with a grand gesture.

"If we allow the soldiers to escape, the front will soon collapse. Shouldn't we let them stay, using our lives as shields?"

"No. No. This is the right thing to do. Our army is small. We must fight while saving as many lives as possible. And ......"

Knogen's face changed from its previous softness and he looked at Princess Rufana with a serious gaze.

"The soldiers in my unit are all men who have fought a hundred battles. Each one of them has outstanding fighting ability. Therefore, if one of them is missing, our strength will be greatly reduced. I know that there are many points that you may not agree with, but I ask you to remain calm."

Princess Rufana gasped at the first expression on Knogen's face and could not continue. As she watched, he returned to his usual expression and gave orders to his soldiers.

"All right, let's get out of here as soon as possible!　Hurry up!"

Under Knogen's command, the soldiers began a swift retreat.

The pursuit, which lasted all night, took a heavy toll on Tana's army. They repeatedly pursued and captured the fleeing Agarthas, only to have their forces reduced by counterattacks.

When the Agarthas found the pursuing Tana forces, they broke up into pieces and spread out. Then, they attacked Tana's army, which had regrouped and was charging toward them, with flying weapons. It was a new weapon of the Agartha army called a "magic gun" that fired balls of iron using filled magic power, but at that time the army of Tana was not aware of the existence of such a weapon.

However, the Tana forces, sensing that the Agarthans had such a weapon, attacked with their shields, but the Agarthans did not care about that. Their offensive power was outstanding, and at first they managed to avoid the attack, but when the attackers concentrated their attacks on the feet of the soldiers, the Tana forces were forced to break their formation. Moreover, immediately after the attack with the magic guns, the Agarthans would charge with their cavalry. They attacked by precisely hitting the weak points between shields and shields, so that the number of Tana's army was gradually reduced. As night began to fall, the anger of the Emperor of Tana reached its peak.

What on earth are you doing?

The staff members simply bowed their heads and tried to pass the anger off as Ville shouted at them. The majority of the staff members were wounded in some way or another, showing how hard the battle had been fought.

"Every time we attack Agartha, including Lumine and Honsch, our losses only increase!　And what do you say?　Are you telling me that the soldiers are getting tired from this cold and desert travel, and that they should retreat for now?　You're a weakling!　Are you still the staff of the ever-victorious Tana Army?　Shame on you, shame on you!"

Lumine and Honsch, who had already ordered the advance party, were not there. Both had been shot by Agartha's guns, disabled in battle, and had fallen from Thana's army.

"...... with fear."

Tabu, one of the staff members, stepped forward in front of Ville. He looked at Ville sharply and spoke in a calm voice.

The enemy is fighting in a completely different way from the previous ones. The soldiers are scattered and cannot focus their attacks. Moreover, they have powerful flying weapons, forcing us into a defensive position. And the cavalry charge that immediately follows: ....... All of those who died in the attack were left to die in front of Agartha's army with tears of blood or with bloody claws in the desert sands.

"Tabu. What are you trying to say?

Your Majesty, who is in ...... the main camp, does not understand the regret that no matter how hard we attack, we can only wear out our own soldiers.

"Sir Tabu, you're speaking too much!"

One of the staff members called out to them, but neither Ville nor Tabu made the slightest move as they stared at each other.

"...... I ordered the operation and it was faulty, is that what you're saying?"

Ville opens his mouth in a calm but hushed voice. But Tabu speaks to him slowly in his usual calm voice.

No, it was not a mistake. No, it was not a mistake. We have been too inept against the forces of Agartha.

At that moment, Ville's hand came to rest on the sword at his side.

"I tell you!　Agartha's army has taken up position!

"What?"

"There is a small oasis just up ahead. It appears that the entire army is resting there!

At the sound of the messenger's voice, Ville takes his hand off his sword and looks at his staff.

"The enemy is tired, too. We must raise the head of the king of Agartha here at all costs. We are in enemy territory. If we are to return alive, we must bring up the head of the enemy general.

He stood up and gave a loud order to his staff.

"This is now a full-scale attack!　I don't want any other heads. We have only one enemy, the king of Agartha, Rinos!

With these words, the staff slowly bowed their heads. .......
