225 Episode 8: Rezella's Second Emperor's Battle III




 A short time after the clash between the Cerda troops led by Sonia and the Edelna troops led by Chulpan, the cavalry units of both wings also clashed.

 First, a clash between the right wing of the Lemurian army's 1200 heavy and medium armored cavalry troops led by Carolina and the left wing of the Fulling army's 1000 king's squire cavalry troops led by Laurent.

 Both heavily armed cavalry clashed with each other.
 The fact that they were both heavily armed did not change.
 They are both heavily armed, and they are both equipped with relatively uniform and elite equipment.
 They were also the same in that there was not much difference in their tactics even though they developed in different regions.

 Each side fought fiercely with swords, spears, and war hammers.

 And the commanders are the same.

"Your Highness, Karolina, Queen of the Lemurian Empire. Prepare yourselves!
"That's my line. Count Roland!

 Karolina wields the Eligos.
 Her Eligos has the effect of adapting a completely different set of physical laws to the target.
 For Carolina, it makes the object less than a leaf, and for Laurent, it makes the object as massive as a ship's anchor.

 It is impossible to catch this blow unless you have some kind of inherent magic or have made a contract with a special demon through spirit magic. ......

 It was supposed to be.

I'm sure you've heard the rumors about the ...... spirit-killing demon sword.

 I'm not sure what to make of it.
 I'm not sure what to say.

"Durandal, the holy sword of the demon slayer. It's a natural enemy for you demon users.

 Durandal has the power to neutralize the magic of spirits, or demons as they are called.
 It is one of the many special swords in the world.
 It's also a great way to make sure that you don't end up in a situation where you're the only one who can't get out.

You call it a demon, right? My partner... ...... Eligos! Tell them which one is the Lord's enemy!

 The two swords, Carolina and Roran, glinted.
 Each time the two collide, a special magical sound like breaking glass echoes through the air.

 The battle between Carolina and Roran was evenly matched.
 Hence, ......

 The Lemurian army, outnumbered, was slightly outmatched.




 On the other hand, the battle between the left wing of Lemuria's army, Alicia's army of 120 Bulgaron cavalry, and the right wing of Fulling's army, Astolfo's army of 100 lords' cavalry, took a slightly different turn.

"Come on, knights of Fulling, Albion, and Scardinawea! Follow my lead!

 A young man of mixed race, warbeast and elf, mounted on a hippogriff, a fantastic beast that only lives in Albion, inspires his allies.

 Astolfo of Love, a young man who looks like a beautiful girl dressed as a man, shouts as he raises his spear.
 The bloodthirsty, achievement-seeking knights of the Lords followed Astolfo's lead and charged.

 In response, Alicia said ......

I don't need to take you seriously. I'm pulling out.

 The cavalry retreated as if to flee.
 Perhaps emboldened by this, the lords' cavalry increased their speed and drove the Bulgaron cavalry away.

Wait!
Don't run!
You barbarians!

 But the charge of the heavy cavalry doesn't last long.
 When the horses are exhausted and have stopped, ......

"All troops, change direction! Begin counterattack!

 The Bulgurons fired their arrows backwards in unison.
 The heavy cavalry in the front line were instantly turned into hedgehogs and fell from their horses.

Shoot, shoot! No need to aim at people. Aim at the horses! Surround them and torture them to death!

 Horses are less defensible than people.
 And a knight who falls off his ...... horse is nothing to fear.

 The tactics that had worked so well against Lemuria so many times were now working against the Fulling.

 The bulgarian cavalry was steadily reducing the numbers of the lords' cavalry.
 That was when...
 From above Alicia's head, a beautiful voice called out.

"Excuse me from above! I see you are the enemy general! Let's play this game normally!

 Astolfo was approaching, flying through the air.
 He has a jousting spear in his hand.

I want to say that flying is terrifying ......, but it's a good target for one person. Fire!

 The Bulgurons shot their arrows at Astrupho in unison.
 A myriad of arrows slowed Astrupho and the hippogriffs,...... but all of them were blocked by the hippogriffs' thick muscles and feathers.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

 I'm not sure what I'm doing here." Alicia sighed and tugged on her contracted demon, Leraj.
 As she flew up into the sky, her arrow narrowly missed the hippogriff's skin.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

 All living things are equally cursed to death.
 Alicia's Lerage is effective even if it is just a graze.

 The same is true for creatures like hippogriffs.

 The hippogryphs desperately carry their master to Alicia, even though their entire body is poisoned.


 Astolfo jumped off the hippogriff with his jousting spear in his hand.

 He immediately jumped at Alicia.

The hippogriff's death will not be in vain!
The hippogriff's death will not be in vain!" "...... That's not a very warm attack!

 Alicia drew her sword from her waist and caught the javelin thrust from below.
 It's easy to handle a javelin that doesn't have the weight and running power of a horse on it. ......

 It should have been.

I'm not sure what to say.

 Alicia felt some kind of magic operate in her body.
 She was thrown off her horse with irresistible force.

"f*ck. ......

 Alicia was blown off the horse and rolled on the ground.  
 Alicia's eyes went black with surprise.

"My demon, 'Amy', will always topple over any enemy she strikes. Sorry.

 Astolfo stretched out his flat chest - no surprise, he was a man.
 He was number fifty-eight in the pecking order, president, and his name was "Amy.
 She is the Great Spirit with whom Astolfo has a contract.

 Its power is just as Astolfo said, it will always knock down and blow away any enemy it touches.

 The lords and knights cheered as Astolfo made the enemy general fall.

The enemy general has fallen from his horse!
Now is the time!
Seize him!

 Alicia was not so easy to capture.
 Holding Lerage in her hand, Alicia rolled on the ground, shooting at the approaching knights.

"Master Alicia!

 Finally, help arrives for Alicia.
 Alicia clutches at the offered hand and climbs up on her horse.

"Too late, you incompetent!

 Alicia's face twisted in humiliation as she cursed the cavalryman who had come to her aid.

I'll kill you, you pseudo-criminal!

 I'm going to kill you, you pseudo!" Alicia shouted as she tugged at Lerage.




 With Astolfo's efforts, the Lords' cavalry had recovered slightly.
 But the difference in strength and the unfamiliar tactics of the enemy made them suffer. ......

 Little by little, they lost their momentum.




 As the battle between the two wings and the center intensified, ......
 The center left wing of Lemuria's army and the center right wing of Fullerling's army had yet to even come close to each other.
 On the other hand, the center right wing of the Lemurian army and the center left wing of the Fulling army finally clashed.

 The diagonal formation of King Ludwig I began to take effect in earnest.

 Thus, ...... was one of the critical moments that would determine the victory or defeat of the Battle of Lesuele.
 The battle between the center-right wing of the Lemurian army and the center-left wing of the Fulling army was about to begin, as was the battle between Bradamante and Edmond.
