War of Retaliation IV – Attacks

As soon as the clattering of horse footsteps rang out, the entire soldiers who were at the encampment immediately became alert and took a stance to fight.

The soldiers immediately raised their shields and spears as they directed their gaze towards the dust that covered the vision. They saw so many shadows from behind the dust.

When a commotion broke out, Voran immediately got up from his break. He who had gained new knowledge about the powers that exist in his body immediately put it into practice.

As the soldiers made a noise that was not really necessary, he rushed out of his tent to check on the noise. Of course he didn't forget his weapon, it would be foolish to do so.

Voran was protected by soldiers including Veus as well as Werder Sian and Griss Hainz as he watched his troops returning from the battlefield.

Seeing the condition of the soldiers who were so shabby and filled with blood coupled with a pungent smell, Voran did not turn away from them.

Although his head was filled with doubt and confusion, he did not change the expression on his face. He tried to be calm, besides there was a soldier who returned with an intact limb that made him furious.

“Veus, what happened to them?” Voran slightly frowned as he questioned the state of the soldiers who looked shabby and seemed to have passed through a hell.

“Out of suspicion from our plan, Your Majesty. When I ordered them to come forward and act as vanguard troops. We expect a situation where the opposing side is exhausted due to a long journey and is in the process of building a resting place.”

“At first we will take advantage of the situation and attack it. However, the soldiers we sent not only did not encounter the situation but rather they met a group of soldiers consisting of thousands of soldiers who were ready to fight.”

Veus was upset and regretful for not considering the situation. A moment after he took a breath and paused his words, he continued. “Then, not only do their soldiers have power equal to the troops we send. The situation was really shocking and quite hampered the progress of the troops.”

“It wouldn't be a problem if that's all we found. However, the main problem, they are led by Mival Belloc ‘Sang Brigadier Death’. One of the dangerous generals. The troops we're sending must come face to face with them. Either this is bad luck or luck. Our troops can survive that deadly fight and get back here.”

Voran nodded and ordered the returning soldiers to rest and recuperate as well as treat their wounds. He did not expect this situation and he did not expect that the opponent would send a vanguard army that was much stronger than his own.

Although it had only been a day that they had arrived, his strength had already eroded. This is not a good sign. Voran looked up and looked at the clear sky. The battle took place in the afternoon.

“It's a lot harder than I expected. If they sent a General into the battlefield as a leader of the vanguard forces, how strong would their main force be?” Voran glimpsed his tongue while playing his fingers. Voran felt pressure from the battlefield for the first time in his life.

“Is this just an incognito act?” Voran was quite astonished by this finding.

“They send a strong and dangerous figure as a way to disguise the power? They expect my side to think if they have great strength and are stronger than me?”

“Don't tell me they have that much power? It's confusing .. wait a minute, do they just intend to confuse my side and trick me?” Voran's confusion was quite reasonable including how he wondered about the current situation.

It is impossible for an experienced and aged general to make such a small mistake.

When Voran was deep in thought and his conjecture would be the steps taken by the Select Valaunter. Veus who was in front of him rebuked him. “What's up, Your Honor? Why are you pouting and putting on a face like that?”

At first glance Veus understood the cause of the expression, so he tried to calm him down. “Your Majesty, take it easy. What you think is not necessarily the reality. I don't really know what you're thinking right now, but if it's about what's going on. I can say, that man, Selek Valaunter. He will do everything possible to destroy his opponent without remaining!”

On the other hand, Selek Valaunter who received news of his troops from one of the scouts he sent had a wide smile on his face.

Although he did not succeed in destroying his opponent, he still felt that his army was doing a good deed. Of course, the existence of Mival Belloc became a differentiator that changed the entire plot of the battle.

“That squad, they are not its main strength. What exactly are they doing? Hand over important positions to the noble families and his troops? I don't think they underestimated the vanguard forces, so why would they take this kind of step. What exactly is the purpose?”

Although he was seeded in that battle, the Valaunter did not feel calm. He doubted the situation even though the smile on his face had popped when the news arrived.

Valaunter immediately summoned the entire military high-ranking as soon as he got the news of the battle. He did not want to miss this opportunity that appeared suddenly.

Initially, he sent Mival Belloc as the leader of the vanguard forces to monitor the situation as well as understand the state of the terrain they would use to fight. Although he already knew how the plains of Venus were on his own, he still needed to renew it.

Especially when they are going to fight. Understanding the condition of the field where the battle takes place can be an important key in the battle itself.

Voran did not cover up his sense of regret as his army was about to be destroyed and the event was seen by the nobles. He saw it but did not think much of it and chose to call Veus to his tent.

Voran had already seen how capable the other party was, even though it was just like the peak of a mountain. However, from this incident, Voran understood several things, namely that the nobles who participated in the vanguard troops returned safely and did not have serious injuries, inversely proportional to the troops in his command.

As soon as they were fined, Voran took off his mask and showed a smile different from the look on his face when he was in front of his soldiers. He sighed as he sat down and tapped his finger at the table.

“Veus, they did well. Although we are losing, this situation is not far from my expectations. Only, those nobles were similar to cockroaches. It's not easy to kill them.”

“So, when this war heats up and the two major powers meet. Send them to the most vulnerable and dangerous parts of the formation!! They must disappear. If anyone survives, look for the error. I'll execute him!”
