I hesitated, but decided to use the trump card here.I ordered other werewolves to maintain vigilance and I start chanting the spell.âReturned from the gates of Gevena, you who, declined from the gates of Hauran.Behold my right hand. This becomes the freezing sun.âFor an instant, my whole body becomes engulfed in magic power, a freezing brilliance dwells in my right hand.It is the ABCs of ghost techniques.
Waving my right hand, I ordered the skeleton spear troops, hidden in the forests on the west, to advance.It might seem ridiculous to move two thousand skeleton spear troops just to oppose, at most, four hundred infantry and cavalry. In fact, I want to keep their existence hidden for the decisive battle sooner or later.However, while being reluctant to show the war potential, if the enemies rush inside the city, it would be disastrous.As of now, without any negligence, let us crush them with full power.
Only the problem was, the slow movement speed of skeleton troops.They can not advance at a fast pace. Ambush is their specialty.As I expected, the Mirarudia alliance army noticed the skeleton spear troops emerging from the forests on the west side.They canât catch upâŠ.
Thereupon, the enemies breaking their column formation reformed it into a line formation with the cavalry only. Without change, speed increased dramaticallyNo way, are they going to leave the infantry behind?The infantry also picked up the speed, but if it is only that much, skeleton spear troops would be in time for the interception. It looks like, they are going to divide into multiple routes.
While patiently staring at the enemies approaching closer, Hammam grumbled.\n
âThe cavalrymen⊠are around fiftyâVery less in number, because the cavalry needs money. Even more so for the archery unit.âWhat would you do, commander? Archery unit can not breakthrough the castle gate, âŠ.âI shook my head to the question of implicitly observant Hammam.
I ordered the sixteen remaining on the castle walls,âWe will intercept the enemy archery unit in front of the castle gates! Hammam squad, Woddo squad, Shurein squad, Jerik squad, follow me!âThe werewolves made a surprised face for a moment, but it is absolute obedience towards the leader of the pack. Immediately, they put up a reassuring nod, and jumped off the castle walls.
Jumping from a height comparable to a four-storey building, the werewolves landed quietly. Maintaining the four person squad, war preparation is started.âHammam squad, Woddo squad, Shurein squad, spread out on the left-wing! Go around and cut into enemy right hand side!âThe right-handed archer carries the bow in left hand. It should be difficult for them to aim at the right side as they would lose their postures on the horseback .In spite of gradually approaching archery cavalry, twelve werewolves sprint towards the right side of enemy troops.
âCommander, what about us?âJerik and the three werewolves under him looked at me.I replied while estimating the distance from the enemy.âJerik squad is my direct protection squad.ââYes, leave it to us, commanderâThe blacksmithâs son with reddish-black fur, laughed with a grin.
The archery unit of Tuban draw closer very fast. Before long it was in the shooting range of bows, but they didnât fire.I donât know the reason, but this is a good opportunity.I inhaled a breath and howled to the utmost limits.This is the magic I am most proficient in, âSoul Shakerâ.\nIndeed, from this distance, the howl imbued with magic can not show its full potential.The âSoul Shakerâ has power to shake the soul at point-blank range, but it seems like, this time, it was not sufficient to completely confine the enemy.Stamina-wise it is not a technique which can be used continuously, there is a need for a bit more improvement.
However, it was fortunate for me that the opponents were the cavalrymen.Only a few soldiers faltered from my howl, but their horses began to fluster.The speed of enemies reduced in the blink of an eye. Some of the horses, threw off their riders after falling into complete panic.Trailing horses got dragged into that, even more soldiers fell off the horse one after another.It was a huge chaos.
The twelve werewolves which had cut into the right side of enemy troops, begin the assault without letting that chance go.Well, letâs do a bit more.âI will use support magic. Cover me.ââYes, commander. I will defend against the arrows.âJerik stood in front in order to cover me. Other three also consolidate around in order to protect me.
I absorbed the magic power floating in the surrounding with a breath. Repeating the deep breaths, when I gathered enough magic power, I converted that to magic.âOh full moon smeared with blood, shine upon the frenzied usâAt that moment, the surrounding immediately became gloomy.And the magic power drifting in the battle field started to flow towards us.
âOh!oh!⊠it came, it cameâJerik waved his tail with an happy face.Same with the other three.I, myself, also felt a power gushing forth from inside., my entire body was engulfed in a cool wind at the same time, and I felt a sense of security, like being protected by something.It is the body strengthening magic which I specialize in. This was one of them, âBlood Moonâ. \nThe skeleton troops takes no prisoners. As long as there is someone alive, attack would not stop.
Thus, the primary defensive battle of Ryun Height closed its curtains with the complete annihilation of enemies.
