Escape (2)
(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
The second unit, which had been subjected to a surprise fierce attack by Laika, had built up a thick defensive formation and was barely holding on.
“Reinforcements from surrounding units should be arriving soon! Hold on no matter what until then.” (Kali Soldier)
For Kali’s soldiers, who were originally surrounding with superior numbers, they knew that if they endured for a little while, reinforcements from the surroundings would arrive. Because of this, panic was kept to a minimum, and they somehow endured Laika and the others’ fierce assault.
“Kuh!” (Laika)
No matter how much they slashed, the enemy would not collapse.
Laika’s vanguard unit, which had charged into the second unit with the momentum of breaking through the first unit, had its momentum stopped by the enemy’s thick defensive troops.
“Laika!” (Randal)
A voice was heard from behind Laika, who was fighting alone among the enemy.
“Nii-chan!” (Laika)
Randal’s middle unit had arrived. Randal led a unit of 2,000 soldiers, making his the largest military force in Tyr’s army.
“Enemy reinforcements…!” (Kali Soldier)
With the arrival of Randal and the new unit, a hopeless mood spread among Kali’s defensive troops. They were already struggling desperately just to hold back Laika and the vanguard, and now a new unit with as many as 2,000 soldiers had appeared. It was only natural.
“Alright. We can break through!” (Laika)
If they could take advantage of this moment, the enemy would collapse in no time. The battle situation momentarily tilted in Laika and the others’ favor. However, that situation soon returned to equilibrium. Reinforcements had also arrived on Kali’s side.
“General Randal! A unit that appears to be enemy reinforcements is approaching from the right! Due to the darkness, we cannot determine the exact number!” (Randal’s Subordinate)
“Damn! We were so close to breaking through…!” (Randal)
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Randal distorted his face in frustration. However, they had to intercept the enemy reinforcements immediately. Holding back the enemy reinforcements was the original role of Randal, who led the middle unit.
“Do not allow the enemy reinforcements to join up! Hold them off!!” (Randal)
Randal gave orders to his unit and departed from the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the battle situation involving Laika and Randal was also reported to Tyr.
“General Laika is about to break through the enemy’s encirclement! It seems that there is a fierce battle between the enemy reinforcements heading toward the battlefield and General Randal, who is trying to stop them!” (Messenger)
“Understood.” (Tyr)
Hearing the report, Tyr was hesitating.
“Should we participate in the battle, or should we not?” (Tyr)
Before long, Tyr and Hal, leading their 1,000 soldiers, would also arrive at the battlefield. If they did not participate in the battle, believing in the efforts of the two, they would be able to use unscathed soldiers in the event of a pursuit by the enemy army later. On the other hand, if Laika could not break through the enemy’s formation, or if Randal could not stop the enemy reinforcements, the escape from the encirclement would fail, and Tyr and the others would be annihilated.
“Should I have Laika and Randal be exhausted here? Or should we go all out?” (Tyr)
Muttering to himself while agonizing over the decision, Tyr felt a gentle hand placed on his shoulder by Hal, who had drawn his horse close.
“Tyr-sama. You are smart. But on the battlefield, you must not think with your head, but feel with your heart. That is what none other than you yourself taught me.” (Hal)
“Feel with my heart…” (Tyr)
Tyr repeated it back like an echo. Come to think of it, he had given such advice. That was back when both Hal and Tyr were students at the military academy. When Hal had become paranoid, overthinking the enemy’s moves beyond the third layer in a mock battle, Tyr had said it to encourage him.
“That’s right. I said, ‘We all go back together.'” (Tyr)
Tyr’s resolve was set. Turning around, he looked at the faces of his 1,000 subordinates.
“Alright! We will also support Laika and Randal! All forces, charge!!” (Tyr)
