Lord of Myriad Worlds, Human Race Forbidden Curse Archmage

Chapter 1029, Rescue, rescue with great fanfare!!!

"Da da da~"

Knight Cher's warhorse trampled the charred earth.

The border between Hastings and the Kingdom of Light.

It originally belonged to the territory of the Hastings Kingdom.

Later in the war, the knights of the Kingdom of Light instigated the Hastings border nobles to rebel.

He also received help from a large number of mercenaries.

Let this land that originally belonged to Hastings be taken away.

From then on, Hastings lost the way to attack the Kingdom of Light.

The country has long been on the defensive at the border.

Even the territories along the coast were forcibly ceded.

It became the present Kingdom of Leiden.

This is a shame in the history of the Kingdom of Hastings.

All the nobles hoped to regain their lost territories one day.

The King of Hastings made a public promise.

Nobles who regain lost territory can establish their own country.

Unfortunately, a hundred years have passed.

Hastings never had the opportunity to set foot on this land.

until today!

Sir Cher brought Hastings warriors and stood on this former homeland.

Three thousand knights.

After breaking down into parts.

There were only 30 knights following him.

But Sir Cher was not afraid.

Although the number of people is small.

But the fighting capacity is not weak.

They are all magic crystal warriors trained in the family.

With them around, we can deal with emergencies at any time.

The war horses galloped along the road.

quickly!

A castle suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.

Blocking everyone's way.

"Sir."

"Our current location is roughly the same route as the patrol knights of the Light Kingdom."

"The castle ahead is where the patrol knights are stationed."

"There should be no one stationed here now!"

Sir Cher shook his head.

"No, I see there are still soldiers there."

"Take five knights with you."

"Take this castle."

The castle in the distance is a typical watchtower castle.

An earthen platform built on flat ground.

A trench was dug with a stone watchtower in the middle.

There is a circle of walls.

The wall is not thick, but it looks unusually strong.

The real focus of defense is still on the watchtower.

The watchtower is built of stones.

The surface is polished very smoothly.

There are five floors.

Standing in the middle of the road, occupying the commanding heights.

There are shooting holes all around the watchtower.

At the top, you can also see a powerful crossbow.

Generally, this kind of watchtower will also have a basement.

Used to store supplies.

The five-story watchtower on the ground serves as an equipment warehouse, lounge, combat floor, observation floor, and command floor.

There are usually 50 soldiers stationed in the sentry tower.

Including the temporary patrol knights, the number can reach 100.

After the garrison is full.

Such a five-story watchtower, if it does not carry siege equipment.

Even with ten times the number of people, there is no way to break through.

Even if they were carrying siege equipment.

It is also easy to be destroyed by the bed crossbow.

I want to really pry open this turtle shell.

The only way is to bombard with alchemical puppets.

If only five magic crystal warriors were relied upon, it would be impossible to capture such a well-defended fortress.

That is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

but!

Sir Cher gave such an order.

Five magic crystal warriors rode on their war horses and soon arrived outside the fortress.

That's when.

There was a "whoosh" sound inside the watchtower.

An arrow flew out.

Hit the armor of a magic crystal warrior.

There was a "clang" sound.

“There are guards.”

"Humph."

"This level of attack is too contemptuous of us."

"Climb up!"

The magic crystal warrior jumped off his horse and flipped over into the wall of the watchtower.

Then the arrows in the sentry tower began to become denser.

pity!

There is still no way to cause any harm to them.

Five magic crystal warriors, holding battle axes, began to chop down the gate of the watchtower despite the damage from arrows.

A full twenty minutes later.

There was a "click" sound.

The heavy ironwood doors were hacked open.

The magic crystal warrior rushed in.

Drag out an old soldier.

"Sir."

"He is the only one left in the entire sentry tower."

Sir Cher took one look and waved.

"It's of no value."

"Get rid of it!"

"As you command, Your Majesty."

The long knife chopped down.

The old soldier's head was separated from his body.

"There were no cavalry patrolling, no guards stationed in the castle."

"It seems that there is really no one left in the Kingdom of Light."

The voice just fell.

There was a vibration sound from the ground.

Then a cavalry came galloping.

"Oh no, it's the support cavalry from the Kingdom of Light."

Sir Cher saw this.

A faint sneer.

"It's too late to come here now."

"Send the order, retreat."

At this time, the knight beside him asked.

"Sir, we are not here to investigate."

"Why retreat here?"

Sir Cher waved his hand.

"no need."

"They are really short of manpower."

Having said that, he turned around and left with his men.

The pursuing cavalry did not chase them for long and watched them leave.

And not long after Sir Cher returned.

The three thousand cavalrymen who were dispersed also brought news.

There was no one in the watchtowers everywhere.

But after going deeper, they encountered fierce resistance.

The cavalry of the Kingdom of Light seemed to be preventing them from investigating inside.

Of the three thousand reconnaissance cavalry, a full one-third were lost.

After Sir Cher learned of this situation.

Looking at the border defense line of the Kingdom of Light.

Then he murmured.

"The territory lost for hundreds of years is finally coming back."

"Leave 500 people to continue the investigation."

"The rest of the knights follow me back."

"As ordered!"

"Is the information accurate?"

The Kingdom of Hastings looked at the returning Sir Cher.

"Your Excellency, it is absolutely true."

"There are no soldiers left in the other side's castle."

"The cavalry's resistance was just to cover up their own weakness."

"I request to lead 5000 cavalry to break through the defense line and enter the Kingdom of Light."

His request was immediately met with opposition.

"No!"

"This time the intelligence shows that even the cavalry of the Kingdom of Light has left."

"But the strength of the entire line of defense is amazing."

"And some of their cavalry are still left."

"I think if we have to fight, we can't divide our forces."

"Concentrate all forces and break through from one direction."

"Force the Kingdom of Light to mobilize cavalry from all over the country to provide support."

"We just need to defeat their supporting cavalry."

"The entire defense line will no longer have any mobile forces."

"The defense line of the Kingdom of Light is our back garden that we can enter and exit at will."

Compared to Sir Cher's division of troops.

Obviously this suggestion is more prudent.

But Sir Cher was unconvinced.

Still want to argue.

But the king knew what he was going to say.

It's just that it's safer to divide the troops.

Even if we really encountered an ambush.

After dividing the troops, they were ambushed along the way.

Other groups can retreat in time.

But that's a stupid idea.

If war is only about preserving oneself.

Then just don’t come out.

King Hastings would rather risk everything in an honest war.

Defeating the enemy head-on.

Even if you lose, you can lose with honor.

"enough."

"say no more."

“Just follow this plan.”

"Fifty thousand troops, mixed together to launch an attack along the way."

"We will divide our forces and garrison the castles we have captured along the way."

"Guarantee our retreat, even if the other party really sets a trap."

"We don't need to worry about our retreat being cut off."

"As ordered!"

Then the 50,000-strong army determined the direction of attack and was divided into three parts.

The vanguard, the center and the rear.

The vanguard is composed of the most elite soldiers.

Break through the enemy's defense line as quickly as possible.

Draw out the enemy's cavalry.

The central army advanced steadily.

Backing up the striker.

The rear army guarded the retreat route.

The captured fortresses and logistical supply lines are all the rear troops.

at the same time!

The king finished off a little routine.

2000 cavalry were separated.

Attack from the other two directions to confuse the enemy.

But this little trick is just like playing house in the eyes of the Holy Son Commander.

"finally come!"

After the Holy Son Commander heard the news.

I also breathed a sigh of relief.

He dared not send out too much of the power of temptation.

I dare not have too little.

I’m just afraid that the Hastings noble cavalry won’t come.

Fortunately, his troops were stuck at the opponent's psychological line.

An army of 50,000 men charged directly at his own line of defense.

Then we saw 2000 cavalrymen on both wings.

The Holy Son Commander shook his head.

"Someone is coming."

"Tell that to the legions on both wings."

"Find an opportunity to get out of the sentry tower and eat up these 2000 cavalry."

"As ordered!"

Then he looked at the main cavalry in front.

"Now that it has appeared, it is the meat in my mouth."

"Eat whatever you want."

"Order the attack line to start replenishing troops according to the plan."

"But it doesn't take much, at least we need to lure them into our territory 100 kilometers."

At this distance, the other party won’t be able to escape even if they want to after coming in.

"attack!"

The vanguard led by Sir Cher in one day.

They captured 20 castles and 10 fortresses.

50 kilometers deep into the territory of the Kingdom of Leyte.

As for sentry tower-type defensive strongholds.

There were hundreds more.

It has to be said that the defense line of the Kingdom of Light was built too tightly.

Even most of the watchtowers are no longer occupied.

But such dense defense points also left Sir Cher dumbfounded.

He calculated.

If this place is full and they really want to attack.

Then capture so many defensive strongholds.

At least an army of 100,000 is needed.

Only 50,000 troops.

Not even enough to fill the line.

Good thing!

All the troops of the Kingdom of Light were withdrawn.

There are no guards in the watchtower.

The castle can hold no more than a hundred people.

There are more fortresses, but only about two thousand people.

But how could such a number of people be able to defend against these 5,000 elite soldiers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers?

On the fifty-kilometer advance line.

Less than five hundred soldiers under Sir Cher died in the battle.

After taking down the fortress that stood in their way.

Sir Cher's vanguard paused.

Because keep moving forward.

It is equivalent to breaking through the defense line built by the Kingdom of Light.

Deep into the territory of the Kingdom of Light.

To prevent being ambushed by the enemy.

Sir Cher ordered.

500 knights entered, and the rest of the knights guarded the fortress and waited for the arrival of the central army.

Now he is waiting for the 500 knights who were on reconnaissance to return.

"Report!"

"Sir."

Below the fortress at this time.

The scouting knights returned one by one.

"The latest intelligence."

"A 3000-man Alpha cavalry attacked the rear of the Kingdom of Light."

"Now all the legions nearby have been transferred over here."

"There is no cavalry to be seen in the entire area."

"There are many warehouses, which are the supply bases of the Kingdom of Light."

Hear the news.

Sir Cher was delighted.

"Good good."

"Alpha's cavalry are indeed our helpers."

“They are all warehouses for supplies.”

"Come here, bring a message to His Majesty the King."

"There are no more enemies here."

"We can march at full speed."

"Give me the order."

"Leave 500 men to guard the fortress, and the rest of the knights, follow me in the attack."

"Burn down all the warehouses."

"I will starve all the legions within the defense line of the Light Kingdom Fortress to death inside the fortress."

"As ordered!"

at the same time.

Hastings's Line.

Guderian also received battle reports from the front line.

He stood up and walked over to the map.

He began to mark the news in the battle report one by one.

After a moment, Guderian's expression suddenly became serious.

"wrong."

“This situation is totally wrong.”

"It's advancing too fast."

"Fifty thousand people."

"In two days, we have advanced hundreds of kilometers."

"This means that the army encountered no decent resistance at all."

"According to Heidi's information."

"The retreating cavalry of the Kingdom of Light only numbered 20."

"The remaining fortress legions are still a huge number."

"If you want to hold this big line of defense."

“It is absolutely possible.”

"As long as there are soldiers stationed there, it will be impossible for Hastings' noble army to advance so quickly."

"If something is abnormal, there must be a trap behind it."

Realized this.

Guderian turned around immediately.

"Someone is coming."

"Send a messenger to King Hastings."

"Don't go too deep, retreat immediately."

“Otherwise you won’t be able to come back.”

"As ordered."

Now they are afraid they have fallen into a trap.

Penetrate hundreds of kilometers into enemy territory.

Even if I wanted to rescue them, it would be impossible.

But Hastings' defense must not fail.

"Someone is coming."

"Order the defense line to prepare for battle."

"Inform the border knights to triple the number of daily patrol routes."

"Tell Her Excellency Heidi."

"I want more accurate information about the Kingdom of Light."

"As ordered!"

Just after Guderian gave the order.

at this time.

Inside the defense line of the Kingdom of Wright’s fortress.

The Holy Son Commander was looking at the map.

Soldiers reporting news kept coming from behind.

"Report."

"The cavalry vanguard of the Hastings nobles has penetrated 150 kilometers into the territory."

"Report."

"After the Hasting nobles' central army occupied our fortress, they began to send cavalry to attack the supply warehouse."

"Report!"

"The rear troops of the Hasting nobles have been reduced in number, and the number of garrisons in each sentry tower has dropped to 50."

"The castle garrison is 100 men, the fortress 1000 men."

The Holy Son Commander who heard the news.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

Staring at the map.

"Really!"

"What a bunch of idiots."

"But no matter how stupid a fool is, we have to close the net now."

"Don't let this big fish get out."

"Give me the order."

"Send troops from the left and right fortresses."

"Enter the fortress and the watchtower through our underground tunnel."

"Take back the lost stronghold."

"Cut off the retreat of Hastings noble cavalry."

"Order the cavalry on both wings."

"Occupy the original patrol route immediately."

"Gather 100,000 cavalry in front of the Hastings Line."

"Stop any reinforcements that might come from Hastings."

"Order the 20 cavalrymen of the Kingdom of Light to retreat."

“Just say the stage is set.”

"Can we go back to the fiefdom on the Great Plains next?"

“It all depends on their performance.”

"Yes!"

Just as the messenger soldier was about to leave.

The Holy Son Commander thought for a moment and shouted again.

"and many more!"

“Tell them!!!”

"Just victory."

"All the satisfaction I promised!"

The army of the Kingdom of Light moved.

Heidi's spies soon got the information.

The news reached Guderian.

"Sure enough, I fell into the trap."

Heidi asked.

"Really not going to save him?"

Guderian looked at the map.

"Difficult, unless~"

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

"Report."

"The alchemist army supporting the capital has arrived!"

Guderian stood up suddenly.

"save!"

"Not only will we save them this time, we'll do it in a big way!"

"Force the Divine Grace Legion of the Kingdom of Light to come out."

"Give me the order."

"Gather the troops!!!" (End of this chapter)
