Episode 439 It's okay if we just keep going like this (6)

The formation of Leipold's army was like a bow with a protruding front. The barbarians were so numerous that they had to be thick in the center to withstand the blows.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Since they were the ones who came out the front and fought first, the battle that took place in the center was extremely fierce.

The barbarian warriors tried to break through Leipold's army, even sending their great knights to the forefront. Since they had a clear numerical advantage, they intended to break through the center with a strong attack force.

Waroka kept screaming.

"We are much more numerous and stronger! Just push them away! We can surround them!"

The flanks of Leipold's army were bound to be more vulnerable to defense than the thick central section.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

A siege is not something that can be achieved simply by surrounding it. It can only be considered a proper siege if damage can be inflicted.

Only by destroying the heavy infantry on both wings could they completely crush Leipold's army.

While the warriors pressed the center with their strong numerical superiority, the reinforced warriors tried to break through Leipold's army's wings in one breath.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Amelia said, glancing at the running savages.

"Yang-ik, don't back down and hold on."

The formation of the soldiers began to change.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

They built up their shields in layers, closely together, and then raised their spears through the gaps between the shields.

The plan was to somehow withstand the cavalry charge.

And soon the two armies clashed.

Kwaaaaang!

The left and right wings of Leipold's army were pushed back slightly, with their formation greatly shaken, but they were not completely penetrated.

The barbarians were not properly equipped with full armor and horse armor like the knights of the kingdom. In such a situation, it was difficult to penetrate the enemy's defenses properly because they were so strong and there were so many spears.

It was a truly troublesome formation for the barbarians who mainly relied on horseback charges.

When Waroka saw that sight, he kept shouting in frustration.

"Get off your horse! Get off and stick to us! We have far more numbers! Just push us away with force!"

Since they couldn't completely break through, it would be better to get off their horses and engage in close combat. It was difficult to approach on horseback because of the long spears.

The barbarian warriors drew their axes from their belts and rushed at Leipold's men.

They avoided the long spears by staying close to them, swinging their axes and climbing over their shields. Eventually, some of the Leipolds had to draw their swords and fight back.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

Both sides fought fiercely, brandishing their weapons. The barbarians tried to somehow push through and break the formation, while Leipold's army tried to hold out.

Waroka shouted with a bright smile.

"Okay! Just keep going like this!"

The opponent's traps have already been exhausted. It will be difficult to use the same foolish moves as before.

This open confrontation between force and force was much more advantageous to those with larger numbers.

If things continue like this, the Leipold Army will eventually become exhausted and collapse.

As the front lines on both sides became frozen in place, Amelia gave new orders.

"The two wings stay where they are, and the center slowly retreats."

The soldiers who received Amelia's orders moved again.

The formation was made up of several layers. The last line took a step back and put down its shield.

thud!

Then the line in front of them took a step back and slammed their shields.

thud!

The soldiers' breathing and movements began to beat like waves.

The change even reached the soldiers who were at the forefront fighting the barbarians.

thud!

The formation that had been protruding like a bow slowly retreated. It looked as if the Leipold Army was being pushed back.

"Hahahaha! These guys are getting tired!"

"Kill him quickly!"

"Push it away!"

The maddened savages continued to advance with excitement. It seemed that if they just kept going a little further, they would be able to completely destroy the enemy formation.

However, Leipold's army's two wings held their positions with the entire formation close together.

After a while, the formation of Raypold's army, which had been sticking out like a bow, changed into a shape with a sunken center.

Only then did Waroka realize something was strange and his expression hardened.

"S, no way… … ."

Warriors fighting on the battlefield have no time to look around. They are only busy attacking the enemies in front of them.

The barbarian warriors who had been recruited from the rear were also sucked into the center.

Because there were so many of them, there was no other space to move.

Some of the soldiers in the center of Leipold's army moved to the flanking ranks and added strength to them.

At that moment, Amelia said with a cold smile.

"Hit it."

There was another change in formation.

On both wings of Leipold's army, except for a few soldiers at the front who served as shields, the rest turned their bodies sideways and thrust their spears.

The barbarians had crawled in on their own and were now surrounded.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

"Kwaaah!"

The barbarian warriors began to fall mercilessly as they were attacked from both sides without even knowing what was going on.

With their defensive armament being extremely weak, they had no way of stopping the pouring spear attacks.

Because the barbarians thought that warriors only needed strong physical strength and merciless attack power.

When Woroka saw that sight, his body trembled. He had only just now realized what his opponent was trying to do.

"T, this can't be happening… … ."

The traps and tactics shown earlier were rather baits to deceive them. It was as if they had nothing more prepared. Now was the real moment.

It was a tactic that was bound to fail if you focused on fighting. Where in the world would you find an army that retreats along with its opponent when they retreat?

I couldn't believe that Amelia had such powers.

"I mean, hit the opponent's side! You have to push both sides! Quickly! Quickly, I mean, push the sides!"

Waroka shouted. Since Leipold's army's wings were not pushed back, they were being dragged around by the enemy's tactics.

The barbarian warriors also tried to somehow break down Leipold's army's two wings. They realized, albeit belatedly, that the battle situation would change only if this area was destroyed.

But the Leipolds were not easily pushed back.

"Damn it! What the hell! There are so many more of us!"

The warriors shouted endlessly and tried to attack, but their opponents were unmoved.

From the beginning, Amelia had placed her best elite soldiers at the forefront of both wings. In addition, there were countless shields covered in blue mana between them.

She boldly placed her knights at the forefront of both wings and had them only defend.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

So, no matter how much the barbarian warriors attacked, Leipold's army was not easily pushed back. The barbarians had pushed all their strong warriors into the central breakthrough.

But the central part was already surrounded and surrounded.

When Waroka realized that he couldn't take it anymore, he blew his retreat horn and shouted.

"Get out! Get out quickly!"

Because there were so many of them, it was difficult to escape easily. In the meantime, Leipold's army was busy closing the distance among themselves and killing the surrounded barbarians.

That wasn't all. The wizards who had fallen back began to fire their magic again, and the archers resumed their arrow attacks.

Of course, the priests of the Salvation Church were also diligently protecting the warriors who had been dragged in. However, they could not block all attacks with their own strength.

Eventually, the warriors who got caught up in it kept dying.

When Waroka saw that sight, he cried out in indignation.

"Eww! That woman! How dare you!"

He still had a lot of troops left, but he couldn't deploy all of them at once because the front was blocked.

You might be able to hit them by going around the flanks, but that wouldn't be enough to penetrate the heavy infantry.

In the end, the only way was to spread out to both sides and then turn around and charge.

But will the enemy just watch that? And even if they do, will those heavy infantrymen be easily penetrated?

No. We have to reorganize and fight again. In this state, we have no choice but to play along as the opponent intended.

"Get out of here quickly!"

As Waroka kept urging them, the warriors also began to retreat little by little. This was because they also felt that the situation was dangerous.

Meow.

Amelia scanned the battlefield while caressing Bastet, who was yawning leisurely.

"Left and right, step back."

Again a new order was given. This time, Leipold's two wings began to fall back step by step.

thud!

Of course, in the meantime, he didn't forget to stab the savages with his spear.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

"Kwaaah!"

thud!

The entire formation of Leipold's army began to fall back. The barbarian warriors, who had been concentrating on striking the two wings, mistook the reason for this movement.

"It's getting pushed! It's getting pushed!"

"Sweep it away!"

"There are so many more of us!"

Even though the formation was pushed back, there was no damage to Leipold's army. They simply retreated and gradually killed the warriors trapped inside.

Rather than engaging, they retreated, which reduced the damage. The barbarian warriors were busy following Leipold's army.

When Woroka saw that sight, his mind went blank.

"What, what is it?"

I have no idea. I can't figure out what the other person's intentions are. I can't figure out why he backs down on his own.

He shouted urgently in confusion.

"Don't follow me! Back off! Back off, you idiots!"

I couldn't keep being dragged around without knowing their intentions. If I wasn't careful, we'd all be caught up in them and die.

The follow-up force stopped advancing at the sound of Waroka's shouts. However, the warriors who had already engaged did not retreat easily.

They were originally warriors who were not very well controlled. They were busy following Leipold's army without even knowing what was going on.

"Retreat!!!!!!!!"

Only after Waroka lunged forward and shouted several times did the warriors begin to retreat.

Even those were only warriors who had been attacking the sides. Those who had been caught in the center were dying without being able to escape properly.

However, as the left and right wings of Leipold's army moved backwards, the encirclement began to ease little by little and a breathing space began to open up.

There were so many savages trapped inside that even Raypold's army couldn't eliminate them all at once. All they could do was move around and kill them one by one.

Waroka continued to urge his warriors. The warriors on the left and right wings had already retreated. There was no need to continue fighting when the enemy would relieve the encirclement on their own.

"Quick! Just get out of here quickly!"

Now, only the warriors who have gone deep into the center need to escape. There are still many survivors. If things continue this way, many of them will be able to escape.

Then you can regroup and fight again.

Just as I was believing that, Amelia opened her mouth again.

"Sweep it away."

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Suddenly, the entire central line moved to the side, creating a huge space.

The only things holding back the barbarian warriors were the soldiers of both wings.

As they retreated, looking bewildered, Leipold's cavalry, who had been waiting in the rear ranks, finally moved.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo!

"Hahahaha! Everyone prepare to die!"

Wolkan, a former bandit, swung his huge club around and around and shouted.

Next to him stood Conrad, the lord of the upper rank of Actium, clad in elegant armour, holding a spear.

He was not only Amelia's chief of staff, but also a great knight on the battlefield.

Those who had been attacking the two wings had already retreated. The warriors in the center had also turned and were running away.

A completely defenseless state.

There, Leipold's cavalry charged in.

Kwaaaaang!

"Eww!"

The barbarian warriors were unable to put up any resistance. They entered the center and were thus divided.

The barbarian warriors who had already fallen back could only watch as their allies died.

Waroka opened his mouth, stuttering.

"Ah, rescue our allies… … ."

The enemy cavalry moved because the left and right wings were retreating. He was the one who was hurt again.

Now, the center of Leipold's army is completely empty. He can just throw in more troops and push back. But he couldn't continue.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

At some point, Leipold's two wings stopped moving and raised their shields again.

Waroka did not dare to deploy additional troops, because this time he did not understand the enemy's formation and tactics.

'What is this? Are you trying to block it again with that? Or is it a bluff? Another trap? What happens if I go in now?'

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. That's why commanders must assess the situation and make decisions faster than anyone else.

But Waroka couldn't make a decision easily.

Because I couldn't read the other person's intentions.

Even though it meant nothing, Woroka, who had been hit so many times, couldn't help but think a lot. Amelia was literally toying with Woroka's mind.

In the end, the warriors trapped in the center were all trampled and annihilated by Leipold's cavalry.

'What the heck is this… … .'

Until then, Waroka had not given any orders. The savage warriors who were watching were just looking as if they were possessed by a ghost.

They clashed violently, but when they came to their senses, they found themselves beaten up and retreating.

They only hit the enemies in front of them, so they had no idea what they were hit by or how.

The Leipolds also did not move any further. They were far outnumbered and had no reason to force themselves to go first.

It seemed like we killed about 10,000 savages in this battle alone. Amelia nodded several times and said while caressing Bastet.

"Move to the next area."

Meow.

At that order, Leipold's army began to retreat in an orderly manner. There was not a single moment of disarray in their formation.

The Waroka and the barbarian warriors could only stare blankly at the sight.

In particular, Waroka's mind was more complicated than anyone else's.

'Why are you retreating? Why on earth? Weren't you trying to stop us? Are you trying to lure us?'

This time too, he couldn't make up his mind on what to do. He could only continue to watch Leipold's army leave the battlefield.

As if reading his thoughts, Amelia smiled as she watched the retreating barbarian army.

"I will fight where I want, when I want, and how I want."

That was the way she fought.
