104 – Maxburg True Education (8)

Hundreds of Molotov cocktails were thrown into javelins, and enemy knights struck them with their own shields.

However, some could not hit the flying spears with their shields, and even if they did, the shields were hit and the burning oil in the broken bottles burned horses and people.

The smell of well-cooked meat wafted up to this place over 100 meters away.

However, there were only a few people who suffered such damage, and most of the knights charged while shouting as if they were ridiculed like when they charged through an arrow.

“It’s funny, you didn’t think you could stop us just this much, did you?”

“Look at me! How unsure of their own skills do knights wearing surcoats with crests get off their horses and fight us?”

“Your Excellency Count! Allies will win this war. If you get Creutel’s estate, please give this baron a little too.”

“That’s talking about destroying all the enemies. The enemy is Ciel von Kreuttel, a man who can never be caught off guard.”

We continued to throw javelins with Molotov cocktails at the enemy, and each time the enemy knights blocked the javelin with their shields.

As the javelins flew and hit the enemy, several knights fell from their galloping horses and died in the agony of the fire.

At the same time, a huge amount of burning oil was sprinkled under their feet, but the highly trained horses just came forward as if they didn’t care about that much fire.

When the enemy approached 30 meters ahead, I ordered our knights.

“Support the waist of the knights holding the shield! Prepare for shock!”

Following those words, the knights under my command supported the backs of those holding shields in front.

And then, with a sound like thunder, black smoke that gave off an acrid smell like a rotting corpse approached us.

The horses of the enemy knights on the other side did not follow the instructions of the knights on the horse, perhaps because they were distracted by the tremendous noise and smoke.

No, they ran rampant and knocked the knights off their horses as if they were going to live on their own.

“Hee hee hee!!”

“Ahh!!”

“Jin, calm down. Max! This is a battlefield!!”

“You idiot, you can’t stop those guys running from behind! Get out of there right now!!”

Just as he said, the horses running from behind began to take over the horses and people in front without covering them, leaving their body to the momentum they were running.

In the process, numerous enemy knights lost their human form like ground pork, until they were reduced to mush in armor.

In such a situation of extreme chaos, the knights began to prepare to fight the horses that were not us in order to survive.

“For the survivors, kill the rampaging horses first! And go back to the main base!!”

“Return to base for reorganization! Fight the horse!!”

“Calm down! Keep your dignity as a knight!!”

Having said that, many of them lost their sanity, overwhelmed by the horrors of the battlefield.

Some young knights are already mad and rampaging, and those who are weak are already looking for God in a hellish scene that doesn’t seem real…

“mom!! I want to go back to my mother!! This is hell!!”

“Oh, Lord… God Deus, why are you giving us such an ordeal? As your faithful servant dares to ask, please take us to the land of Deus.”

“Move! i will go back! I’m going to run away from this hellish battlefield!!”

“It’s your Excellency’s order! Wouldn’t it be said that if you listen to His Excellency’s orders, you will be able to leave this battlefield alive?”

“Shut up! If you don’t want to die from being hit by a horse’s hoof, you have to run away!!”

Even the knights who live with honor and pride become frightened children on the battlefield designed by His Excellency.

And many of the poor men with armor and good weapons are being trodden by the hooves of their favorite horses.

It’s a terrible sight that’s hard to see with your eyes open, but they pay the price they deserve.

“Slay the disgraced Maxburg pigs! If they cross the border alive, our brothers and families and your lovers will be raped! Honorable knights, exterminate them.”

When my order was given, the flag that symbolized me was raised, and thousands of knights started charging together in accordance with the flag.

Although we lined up and approached to crush the enemy, few of them saw us and formed formation.

because…

“Ahh! Don’t! It’s Max! Calm down, I am your master!!”

“My arms, my legs!! Ouch!”

“Run away! have to run away! This is hell!!”

The guys fighting rampaging horses in acrid smoke with limited visibility couldn’t stand up to us anymore.

“Build a formation! Everyone, bring the halberds forward!! Destroy the enemy army!”

“Yes!”

Following those words, the knights and I charged towards the enemy.

“Long live Mr. Creutel! Long live your Excellency Count!”

“I will give rest and peace to those who have shameful lords!”

“Oh my lady! Susan! For you I will take the honor!”

First of all, I, who stood at the forefront, cut off the helmet of the knight standing in front of me with the hammer part of my halberd.

The guy who was hit in the head lost the weapon he was holding at the moment.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I stabbed the guy’s neck deeply with the dagger I was wearing on my left, and my hand was soaked with hot blood as if I was about to get burned.

“I will take your head!!”

Hearing that, I looked up and saw a fledgling swinging an ax at me.

I hit the side of the ax with my gauntlet to change its trajectory, and at the same time hit the guy’s helmet with my right glove to counterattack.

The guy in front of me started to stagger, maybe because he was hit in the face, and in the meantime, when I kicked his defenselessly exposed chin with his right foot, his neck was thrown back with a thud.

To the dead guy, I said with a smile.

“It’s not even going to happen, kid!!”

After saying that, I looked around, and the knights under my command were using their numerical superiority to deal with the enemy.

“Sir Max, hit right and go in!”

“Sir Brandon, don’t worry and hit the left waist!”

“Sir Sein, that guy in the middle counts! Let’s go in with three people!”

The next thing I dealt with was the idiots who were fighting with horses without even forming a formation.

Because they were exhausted from fighting horses, these guys were really easy to capture.

It was over if I just threw a rope at the exhausted guys and captured them alive.

In about an hour like that, we were able to reap a huge criminal record very easily.

**

“I report to His Excellency Count Kreuttel! It is said that Colonel Biermann faced 4,000 enemy knights, killed 1,000 of them, and took 1,000 as prisoners!”

“You’ve worked hard, are there any other reports?”

“Earl of Willemheim ran away in the middle and couldn’t catch it, but captured two barons under his command.”

“You’ve worked hard, now order Colonel Biermann to prepare for the chase! Get on your horse and move as quickly as possible.”

“Yes! dismissal!”

Even if a miracle happened in this war and the Magsburgs won, he would not be able to retain his position as the elector any longer since he had lost so many knights.

Because all the knights and lords of Romania are knights of the emperor by name, and they killed 1,000 knights, so if you ask them to take responsibility…

Even if the duke’s title was somehow maintained as an achievement for the victory, he would lose his position as the Grand Master, who symbolizes the electorate.

Also, in that territory, a riot between the people and the fallen nobles will occur because they cannot cope with the sudden vacuum.

Now all the conditions I had to achieve in this war have been met, all I have to do now is to defeat the enemy while protecting the lives of my allies as much as possible.

“Major Frost! Leading the guards and marching out. Make sure to tell Lieutenant Mark that this is your chance to be promoted to lieutenant!”

To my playful remark, Frost answered seriously.

“Yes, I understand. Attention everyone, all members of the battalion will go to the front with Your Excellency from now on. Riders raise the flag!”

“Raise the flag! Let’s go in!!!”

Then, I led the troops in the headquarters and headed to the front line, receiving enthusiastic cheers from the soldiers as I walked.

“His Excellency has come out! We won!”

“Long live the count!”

“Blow the trumpet! His Excellency the Count is leaving. Break the enemy’s morale!”

As I walked along, a magnificent trumpet sounded along with the footsteps.

After walking for about 20 minutes like that and standing at the front line, the enemy soldiers looked at me and said with their faces white.

“I am the White Reaper of Creutel! Damn it!!”

“Golden Fleece Mercenaries! rearrange!! Reorganization!!”

“Hey, you crazy people!! Where are you running!! It is a breach of contract!!”

“We are already on the verge of annihilation! I will reorganize and come back.”

With those words, the Golden Fleece mercenaries retreated in the name of reorganization.

Since we’re retreating in a situation where our unit’s losses are very large, we won’t damage your reputation, but Magsburg will try to use this as an opportunity to pay you as little as possible.

But since we have fewer elites to deal with, there’s nothing bad at all…

And I looked around at the soldiers in front of us.

“Chief Thirty, we are doomed! The Golden Fleece mercenaries have already left us. We no longer… ”

“You fool! What if the monopoly guys behind me hear it!”

“You just surrender to Count Kreutel in front of you.”

“Fuck the bullshit, Jackson! Even if you surrender, there is no guarantee that you will be accepted!”

Morale is already low, and for the big picture ahead, I need the serfs to survive on the lands I robbed and left nothing behind.

And any more slaughter is a slaughter of innocent lives, and a fool to injure my soldiers.

Now that the Duke of Maxburg has been broken this far, he will have no choice but to negotiate a reconciliation.

“Surrender. Those who surrender will no longer be harmed, and will be treated with respect.”
