228 Episode 11: The Battle of the Two Emperors of Reze...




 After driving the horse for a long time, Nia finally arrived at the battlefield, but the battle had already reached its climax.

What should we do, Captain?
Let's go to the Emperor!
If we continue like this, the center will be breached!
"......

 While listening to the advice of his men, Nia thought as she looked over the battlefield.
 It is true that we should go to the center of our allies who are about to break through right now and join them.

 After all, the main camp of the Lemurian army is located there.
 If this is breached, the Lemurian army will surely be defeated.

 On the contrary, the Emperor Hercule's life is in danger.

 But ...... is a long way from here to the center of our side.

 It's more like ......

"No, we're going to charge into the enemy's center.
"What?
"But His Majesty the Emperor is ......

 Nia shook her head left and right as her subordinates shouted in confusion.

If we attack the center of the enemy, they will have no choice but to retreat from the army. Besides, if ...... goes well, we can capture King Ludwig I.

 That would mean victory for the Lemurian army.

I can't ask for His Majesty's orders, but I'm sure He'll tell us to do it. Let's go!

 Nia shouted as if the conversation was over, and galloped off.
 His men were ready and followed him.





"Your Majesty! About three to four hundred enemy troops have appeared from the northeast! They're heading straight for the main camp!
"What? According to estimates, it should take another half day. ......

 Ludwig I had been informed that the rangers led by Nia had left Darios' command and were heading towards us.
 However, their arrival was much earlier than expected.

That's not good. There are no more reserve troops here. Assuming that the enemy's cavalry numbered around 400,......, we would need at least 200 just to buy time for friendly reinforcements to arrive. (But now, whether you can cut it off from the main camp and defend it: ......)

 In the meantime, however, the raiding party led by Nia was getting closer.
 King Ludwig I made a decision.

"I'm sending 200 infantry to intercept them. ...... The Edelna soldiers will have to fight hard for that.

 With a pained look on his face, King Ludwig I made his decision.  
 This decision was made by ......

 This decision will greatly affect the victory or defeat of the battle.




What? What? General Nia? ...... You're good. That demon.

 Sonia grins when she learns that Nia has charged into the main center of Fullerling's army.
 Although Sonia is an Herculean supremacist, her eyes, and her military talent, are not clouded by love.

 It's better to cut down the enemy first than to rescue your allies.
 It seemed to Sonia that it was in her best interest to help her allies.

"Yes! We'll break through the enemy's main line at once! Use the last of your strength!

 Sonia encouraged the Cerda soldiers.






 Three hundred and sixty rangers led by Nia and two hundred infantry of the King's Kingsguard clashed.
 Then, as if to take advantage of the gap left by the 200 soldiers, Sonia launched an all-out attack.

 Meanwhile, Chulpan, panicked by this, sent 600 soldiers to rescue his lord.
 As a result, the pressure of the Fulling army that was attacking the center of the Lemurian army weakened, and the Lemurian army regained momentum.

 The formation of the ...... began to lean towards Lemurian dominance at once.


 The rest is ......
 It's up to you to decide whether Nia's sword will be at King Ludwig I's throat first, or whether the reinforcements sent by Tulpan will arrive in time.






 And ......


"You are King Ludwig I of the Kingdom of Fuhring, are you not? I'm taking you into custody. If you don't want to die, you'll have to be quiet!

 At last, a small force led by Nia has reached King Ludwig I's main camp.
 The rangers, including Nia, were covered in wounds and had arrows sticking out of their armor.

...... I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let you lose so easily.

 As soon as Ludwig I said that, he drew his shining sword.

"Then you will die!

 I can mimic all sorts of magic just by looking at it.
 Using her magical properties, Nia cast all sorts of magic on her body and on her horse, and charged.

 She reaped the rewards of the Fullerling knights and approached King Ludwig I at a glance.

I never thought I would have to draw my sword to fight.

 Ludwig I pulled out a shining rainbow-colored sword from his pocket.

I'm sure you've got a lot of time on your hands if you're not beastly!

 In the event you're not in a position to make a decision on the best way to go about it, you'll be able to find out more about the best way to go about it.

 Nia's sword collides with Ludwig I's sword.
 A high-pitched metallic sound.

 Nia's sword snaps in half .......

It's .......
My holy sword, Joieuse, neutralizes all magic. It will also neutralize my bestiality.



 To Nia's surprise, King Ludwig I draws his sword.
 She somehow manages to defend herself with her broken sword, but ......

 He is easily knocked off his horse.

"Or is there ...... power in my body?
I'm not sure if it's true that Laurent's Durandal, Bradamante's Demon Ring, and my Joieuse neutralize all sorcery and magic,......, and according to legend, weaken the demon race.

 King Ludwig I ordered Nia to be captured.
 At about the same time, the 600 reinforcements sent by Tulpan arrived.

 The quick decision of King Ludwig I succeeded in buying time.

 This meant that the rangers under Nia were either killed or captured as prisoners.

All right, the center is now intact. Now it's time to re-engage the enemy's right flank. ......

 Ludwig I said in a good mood after capturing one of the enemy generals.
 However, his expression quickly darkened.

"Your Majesty! The right flank of our army has been partially breached! The cavalry of the Lemurian army led by the enemy general Alicia is closing in!

"......

 Hearing this, King Ludwig I made a quick decision.

"All troops retreat!

 Thus ended the War of the Two Emperors of Lesuele.
