The Great War of Rhodesia

33. Battle of Hui City

Meanwhile, 300 troops directly under the leadership of Lucia have begun to move into the Damcyan region. Together they took part in 5 Destroyer Trains and several small Combat Trains.

While on the border of Nezarad City and Raygod region, troops from Joren Kingdom and Augra Kingdom also began to attack. But the luck can be easily intercepted by Caspian forces with Airships.

And then as Nata had predicted earlier, soon the troops from several places throughout the remaining Tyrion region began to move towards Hui City. That caused Harbring to be easily taken over by Anna's forces due to a lack of guard.

While the overall number of Tyrion's troops when all gathered reached one thousand and five hundred soldiers. Including the Muggers and other Freighter Unions.

"It's unbelievable Tyrion still has so many soldiers" Jean said in response to reports from the reconnaissance soldiers during a meeting held earlier.

"But if we pay attention even in such numbers, their troops are still not comparable to our troops" said Aksa from across the table.

They were having lunch with Lucia and the other army leaders on a savannah on the outskirts of Damcyan. Make a temporary camp to rest.

Aksa and Nata also participate in the raid this time, as they want to witness for themselves when Tyrion is captured. But only Lily came to take care of them at this time. Because Val is still in the Central Region to make new Aksa designs.

"A hundred of them were mercenaries from the Fighter Guild. And the other two hundred are citizens who are forced to join the military service. So for loyalty and fighting spirit, they will not be reliable" said Nata who tried to explain the intent of Aksa's previous remarks.

Versica, Karka, and Guanna who also participated in the meal together were seen nodding faintly. They began to understand a little with the intention of Nata's explanation.

"Yes, that's right" said Parpera, who sat next to Biggs. "Even from the news I received, out of the hundred and fifty witches and healers they had, only thirty people had experience in the battlefield" he continued. "So it was clear that the rest would not be able to move effectively in the battlefield."

"Not to mention the lack of military base they receive, it will reduce the dexterity in receiving and carrying out an order. Which is important in a big war," Nata continued.

"So you don't have to worry too much, Jean. After all our protective clothes are strong enough to block the swords and magic of the opposing soldiers," Aksa added while eating his boiled potatoes voraciously.

"Yes, instead of me feeling like we're going to lose or how to deal with them," Jean replied, looking a little irritated by Aksa's words.

And when Aksa was about to reply again, suddenly came in a slight haste, a soldier reported to Lucia.

"Report, Your Majesty." The soldier knelt a little far away from where Lucia was sitting.

"What's the soldier?"

"The opposing team is seen approaching from the west. According to the reconnaissance soldiers, they numbered 800 people, Your Majesty. And there were Muggers also among them" the soldier reported later.

Everyone was seen immediately standing up and stopping their eating as soon as they heard the report from the soldier.

"It seems like they know very well how to ruin someone's lunch hour" Aksa chirped with a slightly irritated face.

"Thank you, soldier. You can go" said Lucia giving the order.

"Eight hundred soldiers? Why can't they wait for us to arrive and attack with their full strength?" jean sahut while putting a spoon and knife cut into the plate.

"Look good, everybody. Be ready for your respective positions now," ordered Lucia who also had her dinner plate cleaned.

"Ready, Your Majesty." All the leaders of the troops who were in that place answered Lucia's orders in unison.

"They sent Muggers to a field like this? They must have lost their minds" Karka sounded as he and the others began to head to their respective positions.

"It looks like Tyrion has indeed lost his mind at this time" Versica said.

-

And as expected, Lucia's army easily defeated the Tyrion soldiers, even though they numbered 2 times more. That's 800 people.

-

And not waiting anymore, the Lucia Army immediately continued their march towards Hui City.

No more than 2 hours later, hundreds of soldiers began to be seen marching right in front of the gate of Hui City. There were also 6 Urbar Champions among them.

A high-level Magic Protector produced from Magic Equipment was also seen being installed around the entire city. Keep it safe and protected from air strikes.

.

Shortly thereafter Lucia's voice began to sound loudly past the Loudspeakers mounted on the roof of each participating Combat Train.

"I, Lucia Eleanor, Queen of the Kingdom of Rhapsodia, command you all to surrender for the salvation of your lives." Lucia's voice rang out into the city. "And Tyrion! Surrender yourself now for trial, "close the young queen then who still leaves echoes around where she stands.

And after a few minutes of no response and no response from the other side, Lucia finally issued an order to attack.

Hundreds of warriors along with the Witch Fighters began to run forward in unison upon hearing the orders from their queen.

.

.

But unfortunately this time the soldiers of Rhodesodia faced quite a heavy opponent. It was because of the difference in the number of troops coupled with the assistance from the Mystical Weapons belonging to the Champions.

"If it continues like this, our troops will not survive. We need magic cannons to destroy the city gates immediately" Biggs said, aiming his Firearms at the opposing soldiers. This time he got the task of leading the main force, directly under Lucia.

The battle lasted more than 15 minutes. And until now the opposing forces are still trying to suppress, although their numbers continue to decrease in the face of weapons from the Rhapsodia Army.

"Home only. Because currently the Protective Magic is still installed around the city. Our cannons will have trouble breaking through" replied Parpera, who was chanting something next to Biggs. "It takes a lot of witches and slates long enough to undo that high-level magic. And we can't do it right now. Not with the Champions who are still on guard as they are now" he continued.

"Ah, right. Those Six Champions with Mystic Weapons were truly extremely troublesome. Even our Firearms Forces have a hard time dealing with it" Biggs replied with a slight complaint.

"We will face them" Versica said suddenly from left Parpera. It was seen that the girl had just finished off the soldiers who were about to attack Parpera from behind secretly.

"Are you sure, Miss Versica? They are your fellow Champions" asked Biggs who looked a little hesitant.

"Yes, that's why I dare say it. Don't worry about us, General. We will stop those Champions" Versica said confidently.

"Well then, be careful." Biggs answered quickly. He trusted Versica and her friends.

"Come, guys. We have a reunion to attend" Versica exclaimed before running through the battle to where the Champions were.

"Hey, wait for me." Karka is seen running after Versica and Guan, after recapturing the fire axe he previously threw.

"Because there are only three of them, and their opponents are six, it seems I will also help them" Parpera said later. "Give this place to you, Biggs," he added, directing the magic that he had previously cast toward Biggs.

That magic was a medium-level protective magic that was infused directly into all of the protectors worn by Biggs.

And after he finished doing so, Parpera immediately ran away.

"Eh? Wait a minute, Miss Parpera. How could I... Ah, the Moon Witch is indeed troublesome," said Biggs who then picked up his short-barreled Firearms from behind his waist, and began to move forward against the opponent from close range.
