245 Episode 3 Battle of Sardel (1/2)
While Hercule was leading Nia and the others to the Flato River.
An army of 500 troops led by King Sasan VIII had already reached the river Flato.
”Oh, ...... the Emperor of Lemuria is heading this way, huh? You have very good instincts.
When Sasan VIII heard the report from his men, he smiled belligerently.
Once he had gathered his troops in Orontia, the Emperor of Lemuria divided his army into two and left the city in the hands of his ventriloquist, while he himself sailed to intercept Sasan VIII.
He was leading an army of about three hundred men.
However, it seems that he is advancing by joining the Tonden soldiers along the way. ...... By the time he comes into contact with Sasan VIII, the size of his force will be about 500.
He said.
...... The Lemurian army has changed quite a bit, gathering troops as it marches.
The one who raised her voice in surprise was a beautiful elf woman.
She had a steel shield and a lance in her hand.
But the most striking feature was ...... her large breasts.
Helena Uarelius Cog.
Queen of the Kingdom of Firth and one of the ...... Eight Loyal Generals.
Helena of the Shield.
She was Scheherazade's mother, and originally from the Lemurian Empire.
So she should be familiar with the military system of the Lemurian Empire. ...... However, in her common sense, the Lemurian army cannot be so dexterous as to gather troops while marching.
It's easier said than done.
Without the morale and skill of the troops, and above all, a good road network, logistics facilities, bureaucracy, and good-quality non-commissioned officers, such a feat would not be possible.
The Lemuria of old did not have that.
But ...... has it now.
You might want to change your assumption that the Tundan soldiers are not of high quality because they have not experienced real warfare. ...... Your Highness, Helena.
I'm not sure what to make of that.
Darius Dalmares.
One of the Eight Lords, Darius the Hammer.
I'm not going to let my guard down. ...... is where my precious daughter is getting married.
That's right. If you don't do this, you won't be a worthy husband for ...... Scheherazade.
......” (Are they waiting to be told off?)
I'm going to invade her husband's country.
Darius couldn't help but chuckle.
Then Sasan VIII called out to the other eight generals.
Shaheen, you are to redeem yourself. Is that clear?
”Yes, Your Majesty.
An Elven man, perhaps a little over a hundred.
Shaheen Charlequin.
One of the Eight Lords, the Shaheen of the Sword.
In the past, he was defeated by Hercule I in a battle twenty years ago. ...... This time, he will be taking his revenge.
Therefore, he seemed to be fully motivated.
But ...... even the Emperor of Lemuria would not be able to see through this scheme. It's the first time he's done this against Lemuria. Let's do this, Dareios.
”Yes, Your Majesty.
The two of you work together to formulate your magic.
They summoned the demons of ......'s own contract.
”Bael, the great spirit of irrigation and flood!
”Agares, the Great Spirit of Earth and Earthquakes!
Sasan VIII and Dareios shout the names of the demons.
Sasan VIII and Darius shouted the names of the demons, both of which are the 72 great demons and spirits.
...... Even though they are the same Great Spirits, their effects and scale vary.
For example, Karolina's contract with Eligos is fuel efficient and easy to use.
In addition to magical power, Eligos uses blood from menstruation as the price of the contract.
The price of the contract is small, and the effect is proportionally limited, but it is attractive in that it can be called up and used easily .......
In contrast, ...... Bael and Agares demand a great price for their use.
For that reason, their great magic can only be used once every few decades.
Therefore, it is important to know when to use it. ......
In return, it is very powerful.
”Bael! Raise the flood and drink up the earth!
”Agares! Shake the earth and break its banks!
The first thing that happened was the swell of the great river.
The waters of the river Flato began to create unnatural waves.
