I was excommunicated from the Holy Knights

59 – War of Clans 3

Baeksan where the Bohemia and Palatinate armies are stationed.

As it was a situation ahead of war, the place was not very busy, and it was easy to see people in training or taking a break everywhere.

and at this moment,

I was in the middle of doing something with Cazeros, who had volunteered to accompany me, and a group of soldiers given to me by my father.

“Is this enough?”

“Yes, please put one over there.”

“All right.”

At the same time as my instructions were given, about 10 soldiers began to carry something that was loaded onto the wagon.

It was a huge iron pole about 7m long, and a reddish stone was embedded in the end.

Called glowstone, it was an artificial material made by adding simple magic power, and had the property of emitting light as it was processed when exposed to a certain amount of moisture.

Therefore, it is a kind of conditional light that is mainly used to light up in dark and humid mines underground.

The soldiers were using the pillars with such glowstones to erect them on the plain in front of Baeksan Mountain, and at the same time began to mark their locations on the map in their hands.

Seeing that, Cazeros asked me with a deep questioning expression on his face.

“Hey… Mr. Santana?”

“yes?”

“If you’ll excuse me, may I ask why you’re doing this?”

“Um… that’s what I mean…”

Even if it was to build a pillar, Cazeros could not help but feel doubt about the reason for attaching the glowstone to the end.

Items that do not emit light unless the humidity exceeds a certain level.

In other words, unless it was raining, the glowstone was virtually useless here on the ground.

and,

I said with a smile on my lips to Cazeros who asked why he was installing it while moving it to the soldiers.

“You will know everything later. It’s a secret for now.”

“Um… ”

Cazeros is showing a slightly sullen expression at my words.

Looking at her like this, I thought that she seemed pretty cute, but for now, I didn’t say anything more.

As I told her, I would have known everything in time anyway, and it was better to keep the secrets about this to myself as much as possible for now.

Santana acting incomprehensible.

Seeing him like this, Cazeros felt doubts and curiosity, and began to feel a bit concerned about whether he could overcome the current situation with this.

‘I think the strategy itself was well thought out, but… can I really win? The Imperial Army with General Tilly would never be an easy opponent…’

Archmage Tilly’s reputation was well known to Cazeros as well.

A 9th grade archmage, a strong man with the power to kill thousands of soldiers singlehandedly.

In addition, the imperial army that was coming with him was also a powerful army that included a large number of middle and high level wizards, and even in terms of numbers excluding the wizards, the size of the Bohemian army was much smaller.

Of course, if you launch a night attack on the enemies tired from the long march as Count Turnen’s strategy, you can see quite an effect, but in terms of the difference in basic power, there were many things that were lacking in many ways.

‘Besides, General Tilly is by no means an idiot. He must have foreseen to some extent that the enemy would launch a surprise attack to take advantage of the fatigue of the Imperial army. Perhaps, from this point on, it may already be moving in a circle of magical power.’

Circle of Magic.

A type of magic that can be used by wizards of intermediate or higher level, it was a type of detection-type magic that spreads one’s magical power in a sphere shape and detects everything within it.

When using this magic, although the person concerned had the disadvantage of being unable to use other magic, instead, it had an advantage that could not be ignored in that it could accurately recognize the opponent’s hand movements within the range covered by the magic circle.

However, as useful as it was, the scope of the search varied widely depending on the abilities of the wizards.

In the case of intermediate wizards who can learn this magic for the first time, even if they can use only about 1m in diameter, they can be praised enough.

In the case of a high-level wizard, for example, in the case of Count Thurne, who has excellent skills, it is around 400m.

In the case of Tilly, the enemy commander and 9th grade archmage, it might be possible up to 1~1.5km.

If General Tilly were to keep such a huge circle of magic power constantly on the eve of war, in preparation for emergencies like night raids. Unexpectedly, the possibility that the raid of conversion prepared by Bohemia could be blocked in vain could not be ruled out.

‘Maybe in the worst case.. Conversely, there is a possibility that the performance only increases the damage of the allies by receiving the enemy’s counterattack. But… there’s no way even the wise Santana doesn’t know this, so what the hell are you planning to do?’

While questioning that fact, at the same time wondering what the hell these pillars standing in front of my eyes meant. Cazeros tried to roll the answer as much as she could with her head, but unfortunately she couldn’t find an answer.

However, apart from the curiosity he is feeling.

Cazeros was praying earnestly in his heart at this moment.

From nob le mt l. com

No matter what tactics you use, please let the Bohemia Army…

From nob le mt l. com

No, Santana to be exact.

I hope we can win this war

‘If I lose… I’ll have to meet my end here with Santana-sama. But if you win…’

With such determination in his heart, Cazeros began to show a lonely smile on his lips as he watched Santana, who was busy building a pillar with the soldiers.

“okay? You mean they came all the way there?”

“Yes, it is. Now it looks like it will arrive in a day’s drive.”

The emperor’s troops quickly passed through the territory of Bohemia and arrived near here.

The fact that they began to arrive at the target point, deep tension in the hearts of the nobles here, as well as a determined mind, began to settle together.

And, towards them, Count Thurn immediately gave an order.

“Enemies are coming. We will now proceed with the operation as we have prepared.”

“Yes, Count.”

“I will follow your orders!”

The nobles of Bohemia all bowed their heads in unison to answer Count Turnen’s words.

Their faces showed confidence and anticipation that they would surely be able to win, and Count Thurn nodded in satisfaction. said in a determined voice.

“I’ve been talking about it many times, but the most important part of this war is to attack the weakened enemies and put an end to them once and for all. I heard that they have a larger army than us, and that there are also a lot of magicians. In other words, this is the first and last chance given to us. You will have to be prepared to pour everything into a single attack.”

“I’ll keep that in mind, Count.”

“I will fight to the death.”

At the words of Turnen, the nobles begin to burn their determination once again.

Seeing them like this, Thurn nodded slowly with a satisfied smile.

And then, his gaze turned to Friedrich, who was sitting behind him as commander-in-chief, and to Anhalt, who was standing next to him.

“If not, we will attack as scheduled. As promised, the Palatinate Army, take the enemy’s flank.”

“Okay, let’s do that. Sir Anhalt, please. Show the bravery of the Palatinate army in this war.”

“Yes, I understand, Your Highness.”

Anhalt bowed deeply at Friedrich’s words.

Although he had little experience in warfare, he nonetheless with some persistence was given command of the Palatinate side in this war.

A force of 7000, a force that can never be said to be small.

In response to this, Anhalt began to make up his mind to win with his own hands in the midst of nervousness that he could not reveal to others.

‘It is natural to win the war, and more than that.. Our Palatinate Army must make a big contribution in this war. Only then can I think of the future after this.’

With such an obsession called resolution

Anhalt began to clearly see the position of the Imperial army marked on the map.
