The genius prince : vol 7 ch 18
Some time later, the Dimetrio army appears near the city of Narsila
Dimetrio demands the withdrawal of Baldrosh's army from Narsila, but Baldrosh refused .
-------------------------------------------
Thus, the Dimetrio army of 15,000 and the Baldrosh army of 9,000 began with the opening of the war.
Until now, the battle for the throne has begun, and the three prince's have avoided armed conflict as much as possible.
The reason for their hesitation was not, of course, the fear of fighting with their blood brothers, but rather the fear that the civil war would become a quagmire and that the Western powers would intervene.
even without prejudice, it is a wise decision. The fact that the two princes were on the verge of a clash, that they had to check and balance their armies, or that they had to fight for the city of Meertus, but nonetheless did not lead to a head-on collision.
On this day, that prohibition was broken.The First Prince Dimetrio's army and the Second Prince Baldrosh's army fought a decisive battle.
"Go ahead! Don't look back! victory is just around the corner!"
"Endure! Push back! If you surpass this, the enemy's momentum can be stopped!"
The battle between the two armies took place on a plain a short distance from Narsila as scheduled.
Over every day, more than 20,000 soldiers from both armies slashed at the risk of their lives and wrote history
The battle was dominated by shouts and screams, sword fights and footsteps, and the piling up of corpses.
The trend of the war created was the superiority of the Baldrosh army.
"Glenn is breaking through the enemy defensive position in the center, Your Highness!!"
"Send one of the reserve units to follow Glenn's unit. Maintain the openings in the perforated defenses and use them as entry points for the troops. "
At the headquarters set up in the back, Baldrosh quickly directs instructions to his subordinates.
"How's the melee on the right flank going??"
"We have successfully reestablished our formation and are pushing up the front line!!"
"Send the remaining reserves to the right flank. Tell them again that the left flank should remain on the defensive. We will crush the enemy from the right wing before they choose to retreat."
"yes sir!"
After giving a brief instruction, Bardrosh looked at Lorencio, who was standing by his side.
"Lorencio, I think we've won."
"Be on your guard, ...... I would like to say, but as as Your Highness says, the victory is now assured."
Their opinions were far from optimistic. At the beginning of the war, the number of troops in the Dimetrio army was outnumbered.
However, due to the solid battle of the Baldrosh armybased on the level of training, gradually increased the wear and tear of the soldiers on the Dimetrio side, and at the start of the war today, the numbers of the two armies were equal.
now, the Baldrosh army is overwhelming everywhere. The number of troops will also be reversed. There is no longer any reason for the Baldrosh army, which is superior in numbers and tactics, to lose.
"If there's a concern, that guy."
What comes to Baldrosh mind is a foreign prince who is supposed to belong to the Dimetrio army. Wayne is the most cautious person on the continent.
"According to reports, he has been kept away from military discussions, and no matter how much he tries to scheme, he can't do anything if he can't even speak. In fact, to this day, Demetrio's army has never been outside the scope of our expectations. "
"Hmm ..."
"If anything should happen, it would be a surprise attack on the main encampment here with a small number of men.
However, the main camp where His Highness resides is ironclad. Even if he is attacked by several thousand men, he will be able to survive until reinforcements arrive."
No matter how demonic the conspiracy is, it is impossible to reverse from here. This is Lorencio's conclusion.
Baldrosh too, was convinced that the battle had been won.
If so, what is this inexpressible anxiety?
"...It's a demetrio. If you pull him in front of me, this stuff will disappear."
Bardrosh muttered, shaking off the haze in his heart. Soon the troops that have rushed in will bring Dimetrio alive or corpse. That is the end of the whole matter
"Duhnnn!!"
The sound of a beating bell echoed from the other side of the battlefield. Cheers also arrive as accompanies it.
A messenger rushed to Bardrosh, who was amazed at something.
"Messenger! Enemy army has begun to withdraw!"
"What?"
When Baldrosh walks out of the camp and takes in a panoramic view of the battlefield. True to the messenger's words, he saw that the Dimetrio army was about to retreat.
"His Highness, is this an opportunity to pursue?"
