"Bastogne Beast Slayer Corps! Forward!" It was Marquis Gabriel, a battle-hardened Kingdom Knight with vast experience against the Beastn. He commanded the infantry of Bastogne: "Fight! Glory! For the Lady, for Bastogne!"
"For the Lady, for Bastogne!" The Bastogne Beast Slayer Corps had extraordinary experience dealing with the Beastn's assaults. They raised their long halberds.
Masses of Horned Beasts collided into the ranks of long halberds, suffering heavy casualties. Many Horned Beasts were impaled right through.
"Kill... kill!" More Beastn surged out from the depths of the forest. A ferocious Razor Beast, covered with various barbs, charged straight at Laine, its foul blood-red jaws wide open, revealing sharp fangs.
"Hah!" Laine swept his Warhamr, killing the Razor Beast instantly. The massive force sent it flying, crashing into the trunk of a large tree, silent. A few Horned Beasts surrounded him only to be smashed one by one by Laine. The Beastn's relied strength was ineffective in front of the Holy Grail Knight.
Then, amidst the watching crowd, the Holy Grail Knight extended his hand engulfed in blue flas.
"Spiritual Storm!"
Pale blue lightning appeared in the forest, ravaging the paths of the Beastn's ergence and advance. The fragile Inferior Horned Beasts and Chaos War Dogs were reduced to charred remains within seconds, even the tough-skinned Horned Beasts scread miserably under the Spiritual Storm.
"Advance!" Julius instantly seized the mont when the Beastn's formation fell into chaos. He led the charge personally, advancing in three lines. Sensing unfavorable odds, the Beastn imdiately retreated, abandoning so miscellaneous troops and disappearing into the forest.
The peasants loudly cheered their victory. They didn't know why this Master Knight of the Holy Grail could unleash lightning, nor why he was so strong, but none of that mattered; they didn't care to know either.
They only knew that as long as the Master Knight of the Holy Grail was there, they had hope for advancent; as long as he was there, victory would eventually co.
Only Laine's face was grim; he knew this was most likely just the beginning.
It seed the Beastn were probing how many troops this army truly had.
Indeed, following this attack, the Beastn comnced an uninterrupted harassnt of the army.
Every two or three hours, hordes of Beastman Warbands would appear and harass the camp, wielding War Axes, throwing javelins, constantly disturbing the Right Army's camp.
Although Laine led the army in repelling the Beastn's harassnt continuously, he couldn't alleviate or recover the army's exhaustion. Under the Beastn's harassnt, the Right Army couldn't rest properly, food lost its taste, the nights were sleepless, suffering imnsely.
Fortunately, Laine constantly boosted the morale of the peasants and knights. This energetic and spirited Holy Grail Knight barely needed rest. He continually led the knights and peasants against the Beastn's harassnt.
By deep night, both the Brittania army and the Beastn were utterly exhausted.
On a distant cliff, the Beastn Beast King "Blood Horn" Maras and "Heart-Eater" Groz observed the Right Army's camp, opening their mouths to reveal sharp fangs: "These humans... knights... too few, Great Horned Beast... War Gang... crush them!"
After days of scouting, the Beastn "indeed" discovered the knights' troop allocations. They judged that the flags of the human armies on the left and center routes were nurous, likely numbering over thirty thousand each, but the Right Army had the fewest soldiers. Through repeated harassnt and scouting, the Beastn estimated that the Right Army had only about three thousand combat-ready troops.
The Screaming Great Shaman signaled for the Beast King to calm down, opened his rotting mouth, and spewed out a stream of green pus, attracting a large number of flies to swirl around: "Not... yet... Holy Grail!"
"Holy Grail... Holy Grail... disgusting... parasites! He won't know... the forest... belongs to us... the weather... belongs to us!"
"The rainy season is coming... the Holy Grail's... demise is coming!"
