The Ramallon Imperial Expeditionary Force consists of four major military units. Naly, the main army led by General Callies, the commander-in-chief, the first army in front of the main army, the second army on the left wing, and the third army on the right wing.
General Callies was in a deep state of worry. Zizeu, the commander of the 2nd Army, who boasted of his superior command ability in defending his own position, was provoked by the enemy and moved his army.
The left flank of the 2nd Army's position also borders the Jucan border. Many warders had been deployed there in case the Great Demon King's army appeared, but half of them had been killed.
"I say again. You will not move your army without my order. Especially the Third Army.
Sheba, the Third Army's deputy general, bows his head apologetically.
With his staff sent back to their positions, Callejes, now alone, sighs as he looks at the sunset-tinted Imperial Army unfolding below him.
General Callies and Commander Almond have contrasting attitudes toward the battle. General Callies believes that a general must calmly analyze the war situation from the back row and issue appropriate orders, and that everything ends when the general dies. Therefore, it is out of the question for him to go to the front himself. On the other hand, Commander Almond, on the other hand, believes that it is impossible to fight a battle unless he is in command of the front line, encouraging his soldiers and raising their morale by risking his own life.
This is the difference between the desk-oriented approach and the field-oriented approach of Caries, who received a gifted education at the Imperial Military Academy, and Almond, who has worked his way up from an armful of experience, but unfortunately there was no one in the army to connect the two. This was a major weakness of Lamar's army.
Both sides have a good point. However, this makes the story more complicated. General Callies, who was well aware of this, was pondering how to move Commander Almond, who possessed an incompatible but exceptional generalship.
The sun is setting. Shall we get started?
I look to Knogen.
"Well, I'll go get ready."
Thank you.
I see that Kunogen has disappeared into the forest, and I turn to Sadakichi, the Fairy Dragon, who is waiting behind .
>
Sadakichi and 20 other Fairy Dragons fly away. I create a mist toward the river flowing from the Irbezi River to the Juka side and the mountains on the other side of the river.
"Hm? What is that? Fog?"
Nagesi, a captain in the 2nd Ramallon Army, noticed sothing unusual in the border area on the Jukka side.
They were lighting bonfires in their camp at this ti of day, when the sun was setting and the area was rapidly enveloped in darkness. In the dim light, the dimly visible mountains are rapidly enveloped in white smoke. Just as they were about to leave the area to report to the corps commander, a voice cos from another soldier.
"What the hell is that! The river is... burning?"
When he looked, he saw that the river was shrouded in fog, but there appeared to be flickering flas at the end of it. Moreover, it was huge. There was a flickering pillar of fire several tens of ters high. And it seed to grow in proportion to the speed at which the sun was setting.
"Hey, co on! I don't care how many hands you have to pull out, just do it!"
Beyond the fog, Knogen was blasting his n.
"Well~ even when you're told to cut corners, it's surprising how hard it is to cut corners."
"Whatever, just get on with it! It's about to start!"
Knogen's troops had built a huge tower on top of the logs over the river. The towers were built in a number of rows across the entire width of the river. The fire was set from the place where they were built.
"Don't let the fire spread to the forest. If you're not careful, the whole mountain will be burned to the ground!
"Well, there's no wind, so it should be fine."
"Stay alert until the operation is complete. Burn them where they stand! You guys better get together quickly or you'll burn to death!"
The Knogens were as happy as children as they continued their work.
On Lamaron's side, there was unrest. The upper reaches of the river were turning red. Just when everyone began to feel that the rumored Great Demon King had arrived, the soldiers of the Second Army heard an unfamiliar sound.
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"Hey, what's that noise?"
"What's coming from the Juka side? That was... Geez!"
Suddenly, all hell breaks loose on the left flank of Lamaron's army. A herd of 30 Egnimos, huge bulls 3 to 4 ters in length, had erged from the mountains on the Jukha side and were charging across the river toward the Lamaron army.
Egnimos are characterized by their large horns, which are shaped like the letter T. They charged with their horns, easily smashing through the fence that Lamaron's army had built, and sent the soldiers around them flying.
It's the Demon King! The Demon Lord is attacking!
"Run! We have to get out of here now!"
"Whoa! I don't want to die!
Such voices can be heard everywhere. Catching on, the soldiers of the Second Ramallon Army fled one after another. One Egnemo chased after the fleeing Lamarong soldiers, and another ran into the neighboring First Army.
"What? The second army is collapsing?
General Caries did not hide his surprise.
"Hi, suddenly a huge Egnimo appeared from the Juka side and ramd into the Second Army! Moreover, it has penetrated through the second army and is running into the first army next door!"
What is the current situation?
"Egnimo of the First Army has been killed. But the other Egnimos are chasing after the soldiers of the Second Army!
"Egnimo is a cowardly demon... I can't believe he would attack a man..."
General Callies struggles to keep his head clear of the confusion and tries to maintain his composure.
So of the soldiers are saying that a great demon king has appeared, and there is widespread unrest!
"I want each of you to give strict orders not to leave your posts until I give the order. Soldiers who run away may be cut down!
"Ha!"
General Callies was frantically thinking about his next move as he watched the back of the ssenger as he walked away.
