Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Sir!", the scout said out loud, reporting the latest news to us. According to the reports, a war had broken out between the 2,000 soldier military led by Lethys Blouse and the 20,000 strong military led by Rozel.

Lethys tried to avoid positional warfare and gradually retreated using guerrilla tactics. He seemed to have taken advantage of the terrain, however… "Without our support, he can't win the war", Raymond sighed.

We may be in big trouble!

It was obvious that we should save Bartolo first, it would be immoral to put him on our side, as it would ruin our reputation.

Besides, I was not willing to sacrifice an army of 2000; if possible, I wanted them to meet with our main forces.

"My king, I believe that we should come to support them (Lethys). It is a good chance for us to cripple the enemy. The general of the enemy's army is inferior to General Curiu, so we should take the opportunity to destroy this 20,000 soldier army. On the other hand, the more soldiers there are, the better. Including Carol's fraction and the army belonging to Sir Lethys, we only have 4,000 soldiers. They don't dare to fight against Rozel's troops face to face, so their forces are dispersed. If we cannot gather them, it would be very hard to defeat the enemy. "

Emm, that sounds good. To defeat the enemy, it would be better to destroy them at their weakest spot. I took Bartolo's advice and decided to save Lord Lethys first. "Move toward the Blouse Territory!"

"Dear King Rosyth, we are grateful for the courage and support of your troops! How can I reward you?" Thanks to the smart guide sent by Lethys Blouse, we successfully met his army with ease. We chose a route that Cairus didn't know, and we did it without any casualties. It was important to have complete knowledge of the terrain.

"Never mind, Lord Lethys, now we are colleagues!" After greeting, we promptly held a military conference.

"The enemy's stationed on the forward basin with an army of 20,000, 1,000 of which are calvaries."

"How about the downy monsters?"

"We can't determine it."

Huh…

Was it so easy to destroy our army that they didn't need to dispatch monsters and carlvalry?

Well, it's true. Lethys' army played a guerrilla role to attract their attention toward the mountainous area. Obviously, calvary was no use.

"Well, we act at once after making sure everything is ready…in all 9,000 infantries and 4,500 calvaries, less in total but more in calvary."

"My King, Cairus, it seems that King Rosyth is going to meet with Lethys' army," said the adjutant, relaying their scouts' information to King Cairus as he smiled with joy.

"Great!" the king thought. Wiping out these ants was harder than he thought. Since the rivals always avoid fighting in open battle, he had to smash them gradually.

"However, if the army of King Rosyth meet with Lethys they must fight with us in a battle. What a great chance for me to clean out all of them!" (Cairus)

"Hahaha, I will get the head of King Rosyth!" Cairus and Curiu thought that King Rosyth would save their fellow citizens of Bartolo Pompeii first, but to their surprise, he chose to support Lethys, which seemed a little inefficient.

"My King, Cairus, General Curiu said we should try to avoid fighting in an open battle."

"Silly! The enemies are there, but I should avoid fighting?! Curiu said it to take credit from me!"

When Curiu left with Cairus he said,

"Compared to us, King Rosyth has less military, but his soldiers are in higher quality and own more calvary. Remember, no battle! Ignore his provocations and try your best to protect the city. After breaking down his capital, I will gather all our 50,000 soldiers and eliminate them totally. Understand?"

In Cairus' view, Curiu just envied him. Well, people can only see what they want to see.

"Prepare for battle! Hahaha, I will set the biggest record for this war!"

The two armies were facing off in a big plain and the military of Rozel occupied the vantage point, the hill.

Well, it's not very difficult for us to deal with such a vantage point. Our equipment was different from the rival's. Our rival, soldiers from Gallia, kept pants and used swords instead of spears. Compared to our hoplites, they were more flexible and had better maneuverability.

"Almus, no problem?" Tetra looked at me and asked while being visibly upset.

"No problem! It had been tested on the battlefield many times, take it easy!"

I was the top leader of this war. Although I had conducted many battles, this is my first time directing such a large one. But I was confident, because Raymond and Alexios would give enough assistance to me.

"Because we will also be here!"

"Actually, that's what I was worried about…"

"Almus~!"

Julia gave a wry smile, anyway, just a small joke. I was touched by it.

"Julia has excellent anti-curse ability, which would get us very far!"

"Emm…my magic is as good as you said. Maybe inferior to Julia, it is still enough for the anti-ilusion plan. I heard that Rozel also has some good sorcerers."

Well, curse wasn't particularly helpful on the battlefield.

Obviously illusions were still included in our strategy, but…

There were so many ways to resist a curse. Compared to the offensive effort to cast curses, it's much easier to defend against them.

"Well, it's time to start. Let smash them with our absolute conviction to win!"

Rosyth's light-infantry joined the battle first, and began to attack Rozel's army with thrown spears and arrows.

The Rozel also try to retaliating our air attack with his light infantry.

"Explosive spears… Release!"

On Gram's command, explosive spears drew arcs through the sky and secured Rozel's defeat.

The air was filled with the strong scent of gunpowder and herb stive, which was used as a medium for curses by the Sorcerers.

"Shake the earth…"

"Spin the sky!"

Lulu and Soyon chanted these mantras, and broke the enemy's sense of balance with the curse.

"Let me deal with that"

Tetra held up her wand. A bolt of lightning materialized and shocked Rozel's army.

"I can see nothing but smoke!"

"What happened?! Can anyone tell me what happened?!"

"The ground is shaking?!"

"What's that light?"

"Lightning!! Are we fighting the God of thunder?!"

Rozels forces entered a state of panic. However, their outstanding sorcerers immediately soothed them with pacifying magic.

And then the curse bounced back. Harm set, harm get. That's the rule of curses.

Compared with casting, making a curse bounce back was much easier. This is why it's very risky to use curses on the battlefield.

"Idiot! You just cursed yourself!"

Cairus laughed and said:

"After all, too young too simple!"

But the curse was defended perfectly by a woman.

"Well, it's no surprise the curse was bounced back."

It's Julia.

She made it bounce back again all by herself.

In addition, Lulu and Soyon helped to make it even more powerful.

Rozel's army continued to collapse.

"Here's our chance! Everyone, follow me!"

Almus lead the charge on his horse, Sakura, followed closely by his loyal elites.

Our cavalvies flanked around the army of Rozel and began to close in.

"Ron, look after my rear. Go!"

"Yes, sir!"

Almus rushed into the battle, his dragon damascus sword glowing under the sunlight. After his path, mountains of bodies brought huge pressure to the enemies. Ron cleaned out every enemy who wanted to attack the rear of Alums.

"My King, let me help you!"

Gram calmly loosed arrows towards Rozel's squad leaders. Most of them were immediately struck down, and their formation began to collapse because they didn't have a complete chain of command. It was a good chance for Almus to completely destroy the enemy's defences.

However, Rozel had twice as much infantry as Rosyth, and they started to advance toward Rosyth's army.

"Go! Smash them!"

Since Rozel's army occupied the hill, they had the height advantage, which makes a huge impact on the tide of battle. They wanted to make use of this to destroy the rival forces.

"This is pretty difficult…it's very hard for us to deal with such a great amount of enemies."

Almus tried his best to stop the enemies and encouraged his soldiers to keep formation at the same time.

"Hold on! I'm the son of Mars! God is with us!"

"It is so! Hold on! Our King is fighting with us!"

Almus shouted and motivated his troops fight till the end against an enemy double their size.

With their king fighting on the front line, as soldiers it was impossible for them to retreat…

However, the difference in numbers can't be equaled by just morale.

Gradually, Rosyth's army was being suppressed, but…

"Everybody, loose arrows toward the enemy and break their formation!"

After shattering the rear of the enemy, Muzio gave orders to his cavalvy.

"Cavalry, go!…more heads, more money!"

Aiming at the right flank, Alexios ordered out to his men.

"Come on guys! Don't lose to those funking cavalvies!"

"Don't disgrace your captain!"

The cavalrymen led by Roswald and Virgar were closing in on the enemy's left flank.

Front, ahead, right flank, left flank…

The army of Rozel was surrounded perfectly by us.

"Sh*t! How do they have so much cavalry"

Because Rosyth's army surrounded his troops on all sides, Cairus failed to regroup his army.

"Retreat!!"

He set off to retreat from the battlefield, followed by his restless adjutant and guards. Retreat is also a viable military strategy. Usually, the commander should be the last one to evacuate from the warfare. However, Cairus was just trying to run away as fast as possible.

"You fucking stop!!"

Hearing that, Cairus looked back hurriedly."

"I am Roswald Calpurnius. I will have your head!" Said Roswald, wielding his sword.

Cairus had to defend with his sword.

But…

Kiiiiin… With that sounds, Cairus' sword was cut in two .

Rudimentary steelmaking technology VS Dragon Damascus steel

Greenhouse flowers VS Veteran knight

The result was clear.

"Cairus is dead!"

And so the tides of war began to favor Rozyth's army.
