At this moment, Pedro was riding a black warhorse with golden plates to protect it. Beside him were the NPC General, Lony, and Talia—who were riding their own brown warhorse with silver plates protecting its head, neck, and body.
Lony and Talia were supposed to be unusual with riding a horse since they were even able to ride one in the actual game. However, they were able to experience riding a Dragon—which was more 'thrilling' than just riding a horse. So, the two of them did not have that much trouble riding the war horses.
Behind the four of them were the flag bearer NPCs of the Tradean Empire that were also riding a warhorse with silver plates in it. And as they rushed out of the Empire, the people that they pass through—immediately stops what they were doing before respectfully bowing towards them.
Only when their figure is gone from their sights, do they lift their heads and start murmuring to each other—gossiping about the King personally joining a battle. Most of them are worried about the safety of the King—when they only saw several men coming with him.
Well… Pedro was not even worried about anything. He was confident and capable enough to even head to the battlefield by himself. Add up Talia, Lony, and the NPCs… It was only a matter of time before their enemy gets defeated.
”A straightforward attack would disrupt the enemy lines and make their leaders rethink their plans of attack! With that… It's safe to assume that we would be able to buy sufficient time before the reinforcements arrive!” Pedro said confidently.
”Then… Should we use the Shielder's Formation?!” The General of the soldiers of the Tradean Empire asked.
Pedro simply nodded in response and said, ”Use whatever formation you think is best for the survival of the soldiers, General! What is important is that we are able to hold off the majority of the enemy's force until the reinforcement comes!”
”As you command, your highness!” The General said respectfully.
At this moment, Pedro had just exited the eastern gates of the Tradean Empire. The Soldiers Guarding the Eastern Gate, stood in attention, as horns were blown above the walls—signifying the appearance of the King, himself.
The thousands of soldiers waiting outside the Eastern Gate—stood in attention, as they watch Pedro head at their front, together with their General.
”Glory to the Tradean Empire!” The Soldiers shouted in unison as Pedro nodded in satisfaction while stopping his horse and glancing back at all of the soldiers.
”Brave Men of the Tradean Empire! The shameless Defacto Kingdom dares to threaten our peaceful lives! They aim to attack our lands… Our family… Our loved ones, while most of our comrades are busy fighting monsters for us! They have prepared Five thousand men to attack us—thinking that we are WEAK and that WE WOULD EVEN ALLOW THEM TO HURT AND DESTROY EVERYTHING WE HAVE!” Pedro angrily stated in front of all of the soldiers.
”What they don't know is that… Although we are outnumbered by them… We are STRONG! WE ARE BRAVE! AND WE WILL NOT FALTER WHEN IT COMES TO DEFENDING SOMETHING PRECIOUS TO US!” Pedro angrily said that made the hearts of the soldiers burn with fury.
”So… Brave Men of the Tradean Empire! Lift your weapons! AND FOLLOW ME TO SLAY THOSE [email protected]@RDS!” Pedro said as he drew his black sword and raised it in the air to rally the hearts of the soldiers. ”For the Glory of the Tradean Empire!”
”For the Glory of the Tradean Empire!” The thousand soldiers cried in response as Pedro led their march towards the Defacto Kingdom.
Lony and Talia simply followed behind him as the NPC General took over the management of the soldiers—making them march in unison like an organized army.
After an hour of continuous advance, the Defacto Kingdom and its five thousand men were already insight of Pedro and his thousand men.
Unfortunately for the enemy, the opposing leaders from Team Fuji were just able to learn about the sudden appearance of a seemingly Advance Force on the side of Team ARES. That said, before they could even mock them for their ”suicidal” attempt to halt their larger force, two amongst the thousand men of Pedro started charging towards them in a warhorse.
”Go! Horsey, Go!” Talia shouted as she tapped the sides of her horse with her legs—making it run as fast as it can towards the enemies.
At this moment, Lony glanced to Talia and said, ”How should we deal with the enemies, Little Shawarma?”
Talia frowned in response and said, ”Don't call me little Shawarma, Elder Brother Bulk! And… Do you even need to ask that to me? Isn't it obvious that we aim for their leader quickly?”
”You are right… But what if they are hiding amongst these five thousand soldiers?” Lony asked whilst forcing out a smile.
