How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 104. Since ancient times, the hawk is the medicine for aggression. (6) After the rain of arrows stopped, cavalry soldiers came rushing out from the rear.

Check out the flags raised in the ranks of the cavalrymen.

It was clear that it belonged to the first prince and not to Arele Ernesia.

I wondered if the rain of arrows had stopped, but this time it was a counterattack by the detached troops waiting behind it.

It was not a sudden attack, but a surprise attack that was discussed in advance.

Suddenly, I was attacked from both sides.

“Kuh! accept it!”

I instruct you not to back down but to knock it out.

It was clear that the allied soldiers were already hesitating as if they had not yet forgotten the impact of the rain of arrows.

No matter how much he has a large army, the infantry that hesitates once cannot withstand the rush of the cavalry.

The first soldiers in the front ranks were hit by the horses' hooves and rolled over or trampled to death screaming.

Only then did the soldiers rush to stop the cavalrymen, but they could not withstand the stabbing spears on their horses and were pierced.

There is no doubt that they will attack at the timing calculated in advance.

“damn! What the hell have you become!”

He cursed at an enemy he didn't even know his face and repeatedly urged his men to somehow pick up the soldiers and fight properly.

“By now the enemy commander must be cursing me until his tongue blisters.”

I pretended to listen to the current report from the back row, and glanced at the front where a fierce battle was unfolding.

If you improve your physical abilities and use magic, you can vividly grasp the current battlefield with your eyes and hear it with your ears without using a telescope.

Currently, the cavalry commanded by the oldest brother is fighting relentlessly from the rear against the enemies who are hesitant due to the rain of arrows from our side.

‘The oldest brother is also doing well.'

The basic defense is the army commanded by me, and the cavalry commanded by my older brother strikes the enemy from behind who has lost momentum for a moment due to being blocked by the defense.

This is a common hammer and anvil strategy.

Of course, the number of enemies is overwhelming.

But they are not moving easily.

He was wary of the rain of arrows from a large crossbow that had already flown in once.

For now, the rain of arrows has stopped, fearing that the cavalrymen will get caught up in it, but as soon as they run away from the cavalrymen, it will rain arrows again.

It is also a large arrow, not an ordinary arrow.

Their shields can't stop them at all.

The moment I was swept away within range, I should have reclaimed that I was dead.

When our armies move, they nuisance push back the enemy, and if they manage to dodge or stop us, a rain of arrows and a barrage of magic strikes behind them.

From the point of view of the enemy, it would be annoying to know how to deal with it.

At least, he wanted to do something with a large arrow.

With the range of their bows and magic, it would be difficult to reach the location where our large crossbows were stationed.

On the other hand, since our side accurately observes and directs the location of enemies directly from the sky on a fryer, accurate shooting is possible to some extent.

If you shoot it, it will surely sweep away enemies and make you wary even if you don't shoot.

This is the presence of a large crossbow.

“How many arrows do you have left?”

“There is still room.”

Each shot is a special iron arrow from our Pahilia forge.

Size and power can be guaranteed.

Although it is an ordinary iron arrow, its size reaches up to the waist of an adult man.

That's 100 rounds per minute per crossbow.

At this point, only the name is a crossbow, but it seems like something else wearing a mask of a crossbow.

In fact, even if you hear that it is a crossbow on the outside, you cannot refute it.

Complex structural devices for continuous firing, materials with durability to withstand impact during firing, and calculations to disperse them.

At least, it is a weapon that cannot be produced at the level of technicians in the current kingdom.

Of course.

The structure of the rapid fire device was improved by referring to the device of modern weapons.

Even when I first showed this blueprint to the Dwarves, they expressed disapproval of the complex structure.

This is what led me to barely understand it and to produce it somehow.

While I was proud of its power, I felt a bit bitter inside.

If possible, I didn't want to make something like this from now on...

‘...This time I can't help it.'

Originally, I had no intention of producing something like common sense weapons that was not a general product or food, at least until recently.

Even if it makes at least 5? It was supposed to be about 6 years later.

However, at the point where it became certain that war would break out and I expected a depression that would last for decades even after our kingdom's defeat or victory, I couldn't stand still.

To overturn the inferiority of the number, it is not possible to use a decent weapon.

That's why this large crossbow was developed.

A total of 200 such monstrous large crossbows are currently deployed in the rear.

If it is fired once, a rain of large arrows pours down, reaching 20,000 before reloading.

From the enemy's point of view, there could be no more terrible situation than this.

For now, I've placed a stand-by order again to reload and to keep the friendly cavalry from being swept away, but the status quo is good enough.

‘It's not like there are only advantages.'

It seems like a convenient weapon in this war, but it also has quite a number of disadvantages.

First, it is cumbersome to move and install because it is overly large.

Second, maintenance is quite cumbersome because the continuous firing device is complicated. Considering the reload time, it can be said that rapid operation has been abandoned.

The remaining amount of the third arrow.

The third one in particular is very difficult.

The fact that 20,000 rounds are fired at once means that 20,000 specially made large arrows are consumed in the blink of an eye.

In addition, each arrow is a special product among our captains.

It can't be a monster that eats quite a bit of money.

Maybe it's hard to handle it easily if it's not my wallet.

Fortunately, there is no problem with the remaining amount prepared even after pouring enough.

“At least there won’t be anything short of operation.”

There must be some inconvenience there, so that even after the war, you won't be able to dare to abuse it easily.

Unlike other products, the reason I wasn't very active in developing weapons was because there was a possibility that people who had different thoughts about these might come out.

At that time, I plan to deal with it thoroughly in my own way.

‘Now it's important how to fight this war.'

The forces of the Three Kingdoms Alliance are already struggling.

If you're going to back off, let's pour it one more time then.

A sturdy shield and reliable long-range bombardment.

There is nothing like this in defense-oriented battles.

As I was nodding my head and being satisfied with my achievements, I heard a sound like a piece of wood being tapped in my ear.

It's the signal coming from the portable communication socket I'm wearing.

“Diana?”

She is the only person who can contact me at this moment.

“yes. It is me.”

“what's the matter? Oh, did you run out of magic stones?”

“The Magic Stone is still at ease.

However, it was not the magic stones that fell, but the mana of the enemies.”

The current enemy wizards seemed desperate to somehow destroy the dispel that our wizards, led by Dia, continued to unfold.

However, he couldn't destroy it properly and wasted mana in vain... Now that struggle seemed to be coming to an end.

“Then how much can I turn to attack?”

“...I leave about 20%, and the rest can be turned into attack magic. Or... if it's Dispel, I'm good enough.”

hmm? Didn't Dia say he could handle 20% of our wizards by himself?

Considering her personality, it must be sincere, not bravado.

If you do that, it'll be quite relaxing.

“no. Keep the dispel to the other guys. Even so, it's a waste to only dispel a 6th class wizard.”

“....okay. So now what? Just give me any orders.”

okay? Then come and give me a lap pillow so I can take a nap.

Not when joking.

“good. Then it's your turn now.”

I looked at the battlefield and pointed there with my hand.

Just as the scheduled timing came, the cavalry that stirred the enemies quickly began to retreat.

yes that's fine

“Burn them all.”

I gave the order without hesitation.

“…as commanded.”

Dia answered quietly, and the communication was cut off at the communication port.

And from the wizards, including where Dia was, I felt the mana moving violently.

It will go directly to the brothel.

He is preparing the best blow with the highest level of magic stones in addition to the existing mana.

The end my finger is pointing at.

At the place where the enemy soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Alliance were lined up, a huge pillar of fire soared up at once.

He showed me a magic worthy of my instructions to burn it.

When I told them to burn it, I never thought it would cause a real pillar of fire.

Is it faithful to the order or is it because of Dianareum's humor?

However, it is not improvised writing.

Prior to this war, the wizards led by Dia had formulated some offensive magic formulas exclusively for use on the battlefield.

Although normal attack magic is sufficient, he has quietly expressed his intention to use it on the battlefield, which is a bit unfortunate.

After that, it was Dia's method.

one of them is this.

Wizards within a certain range are filled with multiple chanting Firestorms.

However, if you use fire indiscriminately, there is a possibility that the heat will reach us as well.

This magic needed some improvement.

After applying some of the shield spells used in the Mana House and confining the energy within the range of the enemies, it was developed in a limited manner.

It burns only the inside like a kiln.

Thanks to that, even if a column of fire soared up from a close distance, our soldiers would not be harmed by the heat.

However, it seems that some of them were startled and flinched at the ignorant pillar of fire show.

If you don't get swept away by the range, it becomes a wide-area weapon with ignorance and delicate precision that does not damage allies.

Existing attack magic is a magic that was developed because there are cases where even friendly soldiers suffer damage, whether large or small, due to the explosion that occurs when damage occurs.

It is suitable for our Pahilia army's main operational policy of ‘minimum damage to allies' and ‘give a terrible blow to the enemy'.

“...Certainly, the tactics here are likely to be centered around knights and wizards.”

The firepower is so absurd that you can hardly even smell a burning corpse.

Once the magic swept away, the spot melted slightly to the ground, becoming red lava and then slowly cooling down.

Since these things are used without hesitation on the battlefield, it is no wonder that the enemy and other lords do not place great value on soldiers.

“Looks like the enemies have just been frightened by the attack.

Enemy commanders are screaming and screaming.

The sight of the same ally burning up without being able to scream just now was shock and horror to them.

A small number hesitated to charge contrary to orders or showed signs of desertion.

yes that's good Temporarily, but the momentum has waned.

As expected, a strong oriental medicine is the best to break the heart.

Neither knights nor wizards, nor even the weapons they possessed, could match them.

It's not important to give such despair.

“Tell the eldest brother and the other troops to take this momentum and attack in earnest.”

After instructing the messenger to contact my brother's unit, I ordered the archers and magicians to attack additionally.

And, in anticipation of the time when the enemies retreated, he additionally told them when to launch a large-scale crossbow attack again.

“Ride the momentum now! Wipe out all the rest!”

Victory in the current battle is already leaning in this direction.
