Pseudo-Villaines

The War Have Been Beginning

A thick fog filled the sky, covering the visibility. That morning, the air was cold. Not a clear sky. No sun peeking. All that was left was a black cloud cloud overshadowing the warmth of the sun.

In a large tent, Rose along with several other commanders who were his subordinates were standing around a map with rough images.

"We are at this point. According to the reconnaissance unit, the enemy had already stationed their cavalry in the eastern and western forests flanking the narrow paths to the main camp of the enemy."

The subordinate placed two chess horse pawns onto a strange image in green. The pion signifies the enemy.

"In addition, it seems that the enemy is placing the main army not far from their camp. They are in a defensive position and ready to receive an attack."

His other subordinates laid pawns to signify the enemy's main army. There is no exact information about their numbers. According to the estimates of the spies, the entirety of them was approximately 30,000 troops.

The number of enemies was three times more than what Rose had brought. But he's sure it's all. Instead of trying to weaken Rose's forces with small but sustained attrition, it seemed like they decided to make this war a decisive one.

Simply put, if Rose managed to destroy the main enemy forces here, then the enemy would lose its military capabilities. Conquering the heart of the opponent is not a difficult thing.

"Take the cavalry into the forest and destroy the opposing cavalry that was waiting there. As the cavalry moved, cannon fire and ballistic arrows shot into the enemy's camp."

Despite being outnumbered, Rose was confident in the abilities of her soldiers. They were veterans who had fought in many battlefields. They were a group of tough, determined, and loyal warriors. They are ready to use themselves for the government. That's what makes them so special.

Yet Rose was not a careless idiot either. The fact that he continued to send reconnaissance units to the frontline to understand the opposing force as aggressively as possible and not to let his army advance rashly was proof of that.

Standing on a stage, Rose observed the movement of her soldiers with a long-range observation magic. Cannons and ballistics raised using carts have been moved to their firing range.

Rose carried 10 cannons in the campaign this time. Among his 10,000 troops, 1000 men consisted of firing squads armed by musket rifles.

He also carried 20 ballistics 'thousand-arrow launchers'. Well, saying 1000 is excessive. In fact, it was a large box containing 100 arrows inside. When the axis connected to the gunpowder burn, the fire will ignite the gunpowder and explode the explosion will produce a thrust that makes 100 arrows spewed simultaneously.

It's not so accurate. But if the enemy ranks are hit by the attack, considerable casualties will arise on their side. That's just one ballistics. And this time Rose brought 20.

Cannons and ballistics began to be fired. From a distance, Rose could see the cannon balls fired hit the enemy ranks, making the man hit by the ball destroyed instantly.

Ballistically fired arrows also hit the opposing infantry and cavalry lines. As he had expected, most enemy soldiers were militia recruited from commoners who had no experience at all.

To be honest, the attacks with the cannons were not very effective due to their limited firing range. But the opposing ranks were hit by a very intense panic. If they were professionals, the enemy soldiers would definitely reorganize their formation and realize that the cannon attacks were not that effective.

Moreover, it seemed that the enemy leader was also not very competent. Instead of calming down his troops, he also panicked and frightened.

"The problem now is the cavalry hiding in the forest. They must have been commanded by a commander who was quite a genius."

Rose hoped that his cavalry could destroy the opposing cavalry unit before they advanced to the main line of the enemy.

The real war is just about to begin.
