The soldiers, including the commander, scattered in front of the knights led by Barbaroto, without being able to gain much time from their desperate attempt to stop them.
"Captain Barbaroto! Shall we chase after them ?"
"...... No. We'll turn back here and leave the rest to the hungry wolf troops.
"Are you sure they don't need any backup?
". No problem. The hungry wolf unit will be fine.
"I see. Then we will return to Ze'at once, is that correct?"
"Yes. We will retreat."
Barbaroth turned his attention to the fallen commander.
(I will never forget you, who risked your life to let your men go, though I never heard your name.)
*Farewell, proud commander of the Imperial Army.)
Barbaroto praised the commander in his heart, who was not strong, but who had thrown himself into an unwinnable battle to let his men escape.
When Barbaroto and his men began to retreat, the Imperial Army was relieved. There would be no further pursuit, and they could return to their own positions in peace.
The infantry and artillery units were able to return to their positions without incident. They had lost commander, but the damage was minimal.
(If we can regroup, we will be able to go out again. However, the morale is still low.)
(Even so, those below us must fight if ordered to do so from above. Sadly, it is always the powerless who suffer.)
After returning to their positions, the infantry and artillery units took a rest while the adjutant went to report to the higher-ups.
While the infantry and artillery rested, the adjutant went to report to his superiors. The adjutant did not want to report that he had lost the battle, but he had to give accurate information. Suppressing his emotions, the first officer conveyed the report of the defeat to the higher-ups.
After listening to the report, the top brass slammed the desk used for military .
"It's absolutely deplorable. It's a shame that our imperial army has been defeated by the kingdom's army, which is still far behind us .....!
"What a shame ! I can't face the Emperor with this!"
"Hmmm. But from what I've heard, the Kindom's Army is more powerful than ever. How do we deal with them?"
"The difference in numbers should be enough to deal with them. The problem is that our army was defeated, even if only once! How can I explain this to the Emperor?
"That's right! There is no doubt that our army is far superior to their !"
Perhaps, the Kingdom army has played their trump card. If not, there's no way our imperial army can lose!"
This is the reason why the upper echelons of the imperial army decided to say that they lost this time because the kingdom army deployed a small number of elite magic swordsmen as their trump card.
As the upper echelons were pondering how to explain themselves to the emperor, a group of people were staring at the imperial army's position.
Hidden behind the trees, the hungry wolf troops were scouting the imperial positions.
(Looks like Barbaroto and his men did well.
( The imperial army must be angry that they lost. Now is the time to hit them.)
After confirming that the infantry and artillery units of the Imperial Army had returned, Jex gave the order.
"Let's get out of here, starving wolf unit!"
"Oh!"
The hungry wolf troops jumped out from behind the trees towards the imperial troops who were probably still on run .
The imperial soldiers who were guarding the position discovered the hungry wolf troops jumping out of the forest and shouted.
"! Enemy attack!!!!"
The imperial troops became flustered by the unexpected situation. They didn't expect that the enemy would launch a surprise attack directly on their position.
However, although they panicked at first, if they thought about it calmly, they realized that the enemy was just being reckless. At any rate, this is the camp of the Imperial Army, and considering the number of soldiers in reserve and the number of weapons in their possession, they have nothing to fear from a surprise attack force.
It's true that they were defeated by the knights of the kingdom Army earlier, but there's no way that will happen again and again.
If to think about it that way, there's nothing to be afraid of. they expect that the Kingdom Army is probably getting carried away because they won. If that was the case, they were excited to show their strength this time.
As they rushed into the camp, Jex licked his tongue, thinking that he would go on a light rampage, but there were many soldiers with guns at the ready.
"Geez!"
"Shoot!"
This was unexpected, and Jex rushed out of the camp.
He also ordered his men to retreat, and Jex fled into the forest. The imperial troops chased after , determined not to let them escape.
It wasn't exactly what he had originally planned, but with a wry smile, Jex put his plan into action.
"Everyone, run to the transfer magic circle!"
Jex instructed his subordinates in a voice loud enough for the Imperial troops to hear, and ran at full speed through the forest.
When the Imperial soldiers heard Jex's words, they were surprised.
"A transference magic circle? I didn't expect it to be this close!"
This is the perfect opportunity! Let's capture them and take out the transfer magic circle!"
"Understand!"
" If we can capture the transfer magic circle, it will definitely boost the morale of the Imperial Army. It will also lead to a further strengthening of military power.
They were unaware that this was Jex's trap .
The hungry wolf troops continue to advance through the forest and lure the Imperial Army. In the past, it would have been easy for the Imperial troops to scatter them, but this time they are keeping their distance for a certain goal.
"Captain Jex. It's about time."
"Yeah. I know."
Jex took one look at the Imperial troops chasing after him, and then gave the order to his men."
"All of you, increase your speed!"
The Hungry Wolf troops increased their speed and quickly threw off the Imperial troops. They are getting closer and closer to the enemy, and their vision is narrowing due to impatience.
"Now!"
Jex took out some kind of switch from his pocket and pressed it.
In the next instant, the Imperial troops running behind the hungry wolf unit were caught in the explosion and blown away.
The soldiers, including the commander, scattered in front of the knights led by Barbaroto, without being able to gain much time from their desperate attempt to stop them.
"Captain Barbaroto! Shall we chase after them ?"
"...... No. We'll turn back here and leave the rest to the hungry wolf troops.
