I hesitated, but decided to use the trump card here.
“Returned from the gates of Gevena, you who, declined from the gates of Hauran.
For an instant, my whole body becomes engulfed in magic power, a freezing brilliance dwells in my right hand.
It is the ABCs of ghost techniques.
Waving my right hand, I ordered the skeleton spear troops, hidden in the forests on the west, to advance.
However, while being reluctant to show the war potential, if the enemies rush inside the city, it would be disastrous.
As of now, without any negligence, let us crush them with full power.
Only the problem was, the slow movement speed of skeleton troops.
As I expected, the Mirarudia alliance army noticed the skeleton spear troops emerging from the forests on the west side.
They can’t catch up….
Thereupon, the enemies breaking their column formation reformed it into a line formation with the cavalry only. Without change, speed increased dramatically
The infantry also picked up the speed, but if it is only that much, skeleton spear troops would be in time for the interception. It looks like, they are going to divide into multiple routes.
While patiently staring at the enemies approaching closer, Hammam grumbled.
Very less in number, because the cavalry needs money. Even more so for the archery unit.
I shook my head to the question of implicitly observant Hammam.
I ordered the sixteen remaining on the castle walls,
The werewolves made a surprised face for a moment, but it is absolute obedience towards the leader of the pack. Immediately, they put up a reassuring nod, and jumped off the castle walls.
Jumping from a height comparable to a four-storey building, the werewolves landed quietly. Maintaining the four person squad, war preparation is started.
The right-handed archer carries the bow in left hand. It should be difficult for them to aim at the right side as they would lose their postures on the horseback .
In spite of gradually approaching archery cavalry, twelve werewolves sprint towards the right side of enemy troops.
“Commander, what about us?”
I replied while estimating the distance from the enemy.
“Yes, leave it to us, commander”
The blacksmith’s son with reddish-black fur, laughed with a grin.
The archery unit of Tuban draw closer very fast. Before long it was in the shooting range of bows, but they didn’t fire.
I inhaled a breath and howled to the utmost limits.
This is the magic I am most proficient in, ‘Soul Shaker’.
Indeed, from this distance, the howl imbued with magic can not show its full potential.
Stamina-wise it is not a technique which can be used continuously, there is a need for a bit more improvement.
However, it was fortunate for me that the opponents were the cavalrymen.
The speed of enemies reduced in the blink of an eye. Some of the horses, threw off their riders after falling into complete panic.
It was a huge chaos.
The twelve werewolves which had cut into the right side of enemy troops, begin the assault without letting that chance go.
“I will use support magic. Cover me.”
Jerik stood in front in order to cover me. Other three also consolidate around in order to protect me.
I absorbed the magic power floating in the surrounding with a breath. Repeating the deep breaths, when I gathered enough magic power, I converted that to magic.
At that moment, the surrounding immediately became gloomy.
And the magic power drifting in the battle field started to flow towards us.
“Oh!oh!… it came, it came”
Same with the other three.
It is the body strengthening magic which I specialize in. This was one of them, “Blood Moon”.
All the twelve deployed should have also received the divine protection.
To back them up, I ordered the Jerik squad to attack.
“Ooou”
After affiliating to the demon army, this was the first fight where ‘killing everyone is fine’. The werewolves shiver with the ecstasy of fight.
“Guooooo!”
The archer cavalry of Mirarudia alliance army fell into chaos.
The archer cavalry are the elites with mobility and long range, but now, they are not much different from the infantry with that confused and dull movement.
Their strong point was completely sealed.
Still, the fight was never optimistic.
I was fine, but someone from Jerik squad collapsed after taking an arrow. It seems some among the twelve, who started the earlier assault, also got struck down by the arrows.
Please be alive. While praying for them, I ran without looking back.
At any rate, it is not worth it unless it becomes a close combat fight, so, we jump in the midst of enemies.
While continuing to howl, I plunged my claws into the archers on horseback.
My claws dove into the chain mail, small chains scatter together with blood splash. The scream drowned in blood and soon could not be heard.
Throwing aside the enemy who was torn down into two halves from face to throat, I immediately aim for the next enemy.
“Like I’ll let you do it!”
It’s a pity, but you are the ones who attacked.
Let me skip the ones unable to fight. Needless to say, I pushed through between humans and horses, and cut off one after another with my claw.
Unawares, I was also drowned in the ecstasy of blood.
By the time I noticed, the battle was over. There was no sign of a standing enemy, the horses alive were empty.
Jerik wet with spurt of blood, said with a laugh.
Apparently, he continuously protected me all this time. It’s no wonder I am unhurt.
Looking far away, the enemy infantry and my skeleton spear troops were still in the middle of the battle. Since there is an overwhelming difference in battle power, mostly it has not been a fair fight.
Victory was evident even if I leave it as it is, but I changed the formation of skeleton spear troops by holding my right hand up.
“Surround them”
The two thousand skeleton spear troops which boast of its overwhelming number, closed down the both ends behind the enemy.
The sounds of battle lasted for a while, but that was also over soon.
The skeleton troops takes no prisoners. As long as there is someone alive, attack would not stop.
Thus, the primary defensive battle of Ryun Height closed its curtains with the complete annihilation of enemies.
