Luzia Senki: Notes of the Luzian War

{1.5} Attacks The Bandits, part 2

"The bandits attacked from the East and South! I repeat, the bandits attacked from the East and South! " shouted a soldier riding a horse in the center of the village.

When the sound of a warning from one of the soldiers echoed throughout the Village made Moose Village sink into panic, as they did not expect the bandits to attack the village twice in a day, unlike before.

Full of panic, many residents came out of their homes and ran to the evacuation site that had been prepared in advance.

While the Knights who heard that instantly took out their weapons and immediately protected the citizens who were trying to evacuate themselves.

The Knights were seen despite their absence of a leader but could still act compactly without unnecessary mistakes, it was all because Luke thought that when he was not on the side of his men he did not want the Knights to become disorganized due to the break-up of the chain of command in his army, thus he chose Luze Archis, his younger brother, as his deputy, so that when Luke did not exist Luze could replace him.

Luze was originally thinking of immediately breaking his army in two but what he saw was that the bandits were only attacking from the south, unlike what he had heard before if the bandits were also attacking from the East.

Therefore, because he did not see the bandits who attacked from the East, he immediately ordered his troops to prioritize protecting the citizens first from the attacks of bandits from the south, and then split his army.

"Strengthen your formations, don't let them reach the Evacuation Center! "

"Yes Sir!" shouted the Knights who responded to Luze's orders.

The Knights who were given orders immediately produced a marching formation with the aim of surviving the onslaught of the bandits.

They lined up by positioning their long shields clinging to each other, as if their formation looked like a solid, impenetrable fortress.

The bandits who were indifferent to the Knight formation were trying to crash themselves towards the Knights' shield, with all their might the bandits tried to find a gap to enter the ranks of the Knights with the aim of breaking the Knight formation and even some of them also tried to climb onto the Knight's shield.

With the discipline of the Knights still maintaining the formation from the onslaught and onslaught of the bandits, basically they in the first practice already given the military doctrine to be compact in surviving any attack no matter the life of the bet.

The Knights mercilessly and selectively tried to stab the bandits with their long swords from between their shields.

"Stay solid Knights and start advancing steadily!"

"Hoho huh! hoho ha! ha hoho!"

After hearing Luze's change of tactics orders, the Knights immediately tried to advance in a defensive manner without breaking their own formation. They also do not forget to shout something while walking forward with the aim of maintaining their own morals or mentality.

The bandits did use the shock situation tactic to defeat the Knights, but still the Knights could still have the upper hand due to the greatness and solidity of their defensive formation.

With all their might the Knights marched to hold off the bandits who were continuously lunging at them from the southern Village gate, to the point that many of the bandits looked desperate and immediately retreated from the fight.

"Look at them again attacking us but eventually they retreated back!" shouted one of the Knights who was fighting.

When Luze realized the bandits were starting to retreat from the fight he immediately gave orders to his troops to chase them before the bandits entered the forest because he was fed up with the relentless assault of the bandits, but it was all that ended up in vain as the thick armor they were wearing slowed down their own mobility.

"Sir Luze where are you!?"

"Grandfather Wiz!? why are you here, you should be at the evacuation center."

"I want to let you know if your brother is holding the bandits at the east gate of the Village"

"What's!? I guess there was a misinformation if the bandits also attacked from the east because they were not immediately visible, it turned out that it was because there was my brother who was holding them. I'm stupid."

"And.... "

"And what?"

"They bandits killed my wife, and her body is still there, so please at least save my wife's body" said Wiz's grandfather, who wept sobbing.

"Damn it! I swear I'll finish them off, no need to worry about the cake I'll take your wife's body whole"

"Thank you.... "

"You hear that, boy!? let's finish off the bandits who are in the east! "

"Hoozahs! " cry the Knights to raise their morale.

They ran as fast as they could although their thick armor actually slowed them down, there were even some of them falling while running but no matter what happened they finally got up again.

When they had reached their destination completely shocked even Luze was speechless, as what they saw was the numerous corpses of enemies lying near the Gate.

Not only were the corpses of the enemies, but they also saw their Chief Luke standing before the entrance of the village gate gasping and blood all over his body.

It was also seen that the bandit troops outside began to scatter into the forest because they thought, if they beat one person just how hard they could fight the enemy reinforcements.

Luze was completely frozen from seeing the situation he had never seen before, because how could only someone be able to intercept more enemies from him to enter the Village from the gate.

Although Luze finally realized and immediately ventured to run towards his brother, Luze after reaching behind his brother he immediately patted his brother's shoulder.

"Why are you guys so long?" luke said with a breath.

Because either because his body was already very exhausted or full of wounds Luke finally lost his consciousness after asking Luze, but Luze swiftly held his brother so as not to fall to the ground.

Two hours after the attack, all the Village residents of the Soldiers and the residents worked together to clean up the mess in the Village, for example, many of them move all the bodies to burn because if they were left alone, it would only cause new diseases to appear and because burying many bodies would take up a lot of space and time they finally decided to burn it.

Of course different from the corpses of bandits, the bodies of the victims of the Village residents, one of which is the corpse of Cate's grandmother buried in the outskirts of the Village, because the Village residents really did not expect an attack would occur as a result of at least ten villagers including Cate's grandmother being killed.

Even after the battle was over Luze did not have time to rest, he helped the residents dig graves for the dead because he himself could not bear to see Wiz's grandfather digging graves for his wife, so he told him to get out of his wife's grave.

Luke is now in the treatment room still unconscious after an extraordinary battle, even looking full of bandages covering his body.

On the other hand, a soldier entered the Village from the main gate of the Village riding his horse, the soldier's shape looks more firm and rigid than the soldiers in the Village. Some of the villagers who saw him immediately realized that he was not a soldier from the village who protected him, because his face was very foreign.

"I am the messenger from Claudia Castle and on the orders of Viscountess Luzia von Claudia I brought an order from her to you, so where is the person in charge here?" the soldier shouted loudly to the gathered people.

"I'm the village chief here but I think it's a very important message so I'd better call Mr. Luze first" seen from the crowd a man with an old stature spoke to the soldier.

"There's no need to bother the Village Chief, because one of my men told me that one of the Castle Knights had come here, and here I was. So, what do you want to tell the messenger sir?" again from the crowd, Luze appeared to be wearing a lot of dirt because he had just dug a grave for the dead.

The soldier, upon learning of the people responsible for appearing to him, immediately took out a paper scroll from his bag and instantly unrolled the scroll, without further ado, the soldier immediately read out the contents of the paper roll.

"I am Viscountess Luzia von Claudia who is also now the ruler of this region due to the loss of the Viscount, give a mandate or order to the residents of Moose Village and Altunie Village to immediately retreat and evacuate yourself to Carran Small Town tonight, no matter you are a villager or Knight. If any villager or Knight did not fulfill this order, he would be considered an enemy" the soldier loudly read out the orders from Luzia to the villagers and the Knights.

The messenger soldier immediately closed and the paper scroll returned to its original state and not only that, he also immediately burned the paper with the aim that the paper did not fall into the hands of the enemy. On the other hand the citizens who heard it instantly were completely shocked by it.

"Hey don't you know how hard it is to defend this village from those bandits, and now you want us to leave here voluntarily, huh!?" said Luze the soldier with a sharp look.

"This is not my wish but this is an order from the Viscountess so we should follow her" the soldier said unaffected by Luze's gaze.

"Master messenger, I as the previous Village chief did get an order to go downtown for deliberation, but I don't know if all my citizens should also come along"

"The plan was changed and I don't know what it was for either, so now you should start preparing yourself as I myself should also return to Claudia Castle." after answering the village chief's question, he said, the soldier immediately rushed away with his horse.

"Hey" shouted Luze who was also trying to chase after the soldier but he was stopped by the village chief.

"Let the Lord Luze calm down all we have to do is follow the orders of the Viscountess"

"But.... "

"You heard that!? prepare yourselves soon because we're leaving soon tonight, and don't forget to tell the people who aren't here"

"Alright village chief" said the villagers who compact.

Finally they hurriedly took the items that he thought were valuable, and prepared to evacuate themselves to the City Center.
