137 Episode 9 Battle of Peratia (1/2)
Pelatia, the capital of the province of Tranquia.
On a hill on the outskirts of the city, the Lemurian army was in position.
On the whole, two legions armed with pikes and halberds.
Behind them, an army of archers.
The flanks are embedded with stakes to prevent cavalry from entering, and down the hill on each wing are heavy cavalry (cribanarius) and medium cavalry (cataphract).
In the background is a city, with a forest on the right and a river on the left as seen from the Lemurian army.
On the other hand, the Bulgaron army is positioned facing it.
All of them were cavalry.
You managed to lure them into a favorable terrain, didn't you?
Yeah. Well, they probably don't think they've been lured in.
Hercule nodded at Stephan's words.
The mainstay of the Bulgaron Kingdom is cavalry.
As natural born cavalrymen, their mobility gives them tremendous tactical and strategic power on the battlefield.
The Lemurian army would inevitably be on the back foot.
That's why Hercule sent the Bulgaron Kingdom deep into the territory of the Empire.
In the middle of enemy territory, strategic maneuverability is lost.
Furthermore, by using the looting of villages as bait, he voluntarily lured them to a place where the Lemurian army could exert its full strength.
That is the terrain here.
Like the brother and sister in the fairy tale who returned home with a pebble as a landmark, the Bulgaron army closed in on the provincial capital of Pelatia.
However, the Bulgurons did not arrive at their home, but at the House of Sweets, where they found Hercule, a man worse than a cannibal witch.
I'm sure they can see that the terrain is not in their favor, but what do you think ......?
”No, but ...... they haven't lost to Lemuria in a hundred years. In other words, they are getting better. I'm going to break your long nose.
Hercule smiled fearlessly.
”Lemuria is being clever. Master Terelig.
”Indeed.
The crown prince of the Kingdom of Bulgaron, Telerig, the general of the Bulgaron army, agreed with his fiancée, Alicia.
It's a good thing that you're not the only one.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work. You've been underestimated. There's no way that a Bulgurong cavalryman, a born cavalryman, can lose to a ...... hastily made cavalryman.
”Oh, you've been taken for a fool. Let's face it head on and show them what we Bulgurons are made of.
Telerig clenched his fists.
Now, Terelig was very motivated.
This was his chance to show his fiancée Alicia what he was made of.
Terelig felt a kind of guilt towards Alicia because he had lost in military talent and strength.
So now was his chance to show Alicia what he was made of.
”Alicia......
Terelig reached out to pull Alicia into a hug.
Taking advantage of the good vibes, he tried to kiss her.
But his hand cut through the air.
Alicia had long since left Terelig's side.
What are you doing? Hurry up. We need to get ready.
You're ...... still the same.
Looking at Alicia's puzzled face, Terelig felt annoyed.
Even though they were engaged, Terelig still hadn't had s*xual intercourse or even a kiss.
This was due to the fact that Alicia was an uptight person and Terelig was not strong enough for Alicia.
Terelig himself is not inexperienced with women. ......
He has many mistresses, so he is rather experienced with women.
However, these women are less powerful and of lower status than Terelig.
Alicia, on the other hand, is the daughter of the head of the Chromium clan, a powerful clan that cannot be ignored by the Kotormir clan, and she is also superior to Telerig in strength.
Terelig is the only one who can't stand up to Alicia.
But the resentment builds in his heart.
(I'm the eldest son of the Kotormir clan, the next king. You're a woman. ......)
But I can't force him down, and he can't force me down.
”Well, okay. If I show that I am strong in this fight, Alicia will change her attitude a bit. ......
What are you whispering about?
No, it's nothing. Let's go!
The positions of the two armies are as follows.
