Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Battle of Pesa
The sound of cannons sounded very loud that morning. The mages chanting spells and fire magic and the ground also hit the defensive walls of Pesa city. The resistance of the defending forces was also fierce. They shot arrows and magic from above the city walls.
In addition, they used large catapults or catapults with flaming stones and targeted them towards the cannons as well as the mages who attacked the city walls to withstand their strength.
It seemed like the city walls had been coated by strengthening magic so that it would not easily collapse and collapse. Issac, who was monitoring the war from a distance, was skeptical that the Garlin kingdom's magic technology was this advanced. As the information from the RIS provides, there are outsiders who intervene in this war.
They also had the help of the elves and dwarves. Evidently, the royal army also had to fight the elves who had the advantage in archery and wind magic. Also, the arrows they used were of very good quality. It was even much nicer than the one used by the royal archer troops.
The only ones who can make arrows this good and have an affinity that matches magic are the Dwarves. They might not take down an army like the elves. They served as weapons suppliers to the armies of the Garlin kingdom and the Elf empire.
It turns out that to conquer Pesa requires a very hard effort. But this is still in line with Issac's estimate. That was why he decided to bring along an artillery squad and a firing squad. He couldn't help himself with this kind of thing.
Meanwhile, the cavalry and infantry were fighting against the Garlin army units that were guarding outside the walls. Their fight was no less fierce either. Beastmen have superior physical strength. But it was already anticipated by the fourth and fifth armies.
They had already fought against the Garlin kingdom army before and had read the strategy pattern that the Beastmen army used. The strategists of each Division had formulated the best strategy to counter their attacks.
Despite being disciplined and trained, the Beastmen tended to move on their own. So one of them will face several opponents. In other words, they tend to use quality to defeat quantity.it might be effective if the one they are fighting is an untrained soldier.
Not with the royal army. They had been given the best training by the instructors and were equipped with equally good equipment and weaponry. So the strategy used by the beastmen became very ineffective.
Despite that their resistance was quite persistent. Magic Cannon and group of shooters and mages are quite difficult to break into the city fortress of Pesa. In the end, although the bombardment continued, the city walls of Pesa did not collapse.
"You want how else, right? To speed up this process I have to interfere a little."
Unbeknownst to Aurellia and the others, Issac picked up three pebbles. The size is not big. At most it is only slightly larger than a marble. Leisurely, he positioned the pebble between his index finger and thumb and pointed the pebble at the part of the wall that was the focal point of the bombardment.
CTAKK! the pebble floated from Issac's hand at a very high speed. Result, BOOOMMM!! One pebble immediately made one part of the wall badly damaged. So too with the second and third gravel. Each of them hit the other part of the wall.
Therefore, it did not take long for the artillery and mage group to destroy the wall. As soon as some parts of the wall collapsed, like a flood, the infantry and cavalry who had finished dealing with the beastmen army immediately charged into the city.
A very hard thing happened. Survival forces desperately held back the waves of humans who continued to try to enter the city of Pesa. Unfortunately for them, the firing squad who acted as infantry and cavalry supporters shot at the opposing soldiers with terrifying accuracy.
One by one the beastmen fell and the royal army began to flood Pesa. And as expected, the beastmen soldiers had retreated and focused their forces around the palace where the Boabdil king lived. They have set fire to facilities that might be used by enemy soldiers.
The Heinz army continued to advance. Sometimes they faced ambushes from the beastmen. But they had been trained for battle within the city so that they could anticipate the attack.
The problem is the non-combatants of the Garlin kingdom. They were mostly just standing on the outskirts of the road while looking at the horror incident in their eyes. Blood, the head that had escaped from his body, the flash of a sharp sword, and the sound of a thundering rifle.
But the royal army did not attack them as long as the civilian population did not take up arms. So even though they were terrified, at least the civilian population did not fall victim.
After all, rumors have been spreading on Pesa before. Humans treat their compatriots well. They don't attack non combatants. They even provided basic necessities to the conquered population.
They are arguably elite soldiers. Obtained harsh training and good treatment from the Garlin kingdom. The soldiers of the Elf empire were also the same. Although they were experts in archery, they were also highly trained in melee combat.
The clink of the sword and the jab of the spear in the sky Pesa was blood red. Various magic whether it is fire, water, earth, lightning, wind, and plants collide with each other. Initially the royal army was in superiority. But the position immediately turned around when one of the fire fox Beastmen who only had bare hands joined the ranks of the combined army.
It was Bobadil who mercilessly penetrated the ranks of the royal army alone and caused the casualties of the royal army to fall. The morale of the combined forces of elves and beastmen increased and they also advanced to break through the army barricades.
But their efforts came to a halt halfway through when a black-haired young man with glowing red irises blocked their path. There was no expression of fear on his face. Instead, he looks like someone who has found an interesting toy.
"To easily destroy the barricades of the elite royal army single-handedly. You must be the new king of the Garlin kingdom right?"
"And to stop me all alone without the use of war equipment and using only a vest and a shirt. Who are you really!?"
"I? It's nobody. Just the palace chief of staff."
"Don't joke! Where is the ruler of your country!? Bring him here and tell him to face me! The only thing that can stop the ambition of a king is another king!"
Issac chuckles. Not want. How could he possibly allow his dearest Aurellia to face a maniac like herself?
"no need. Her Majesty queen Aurellia does not need to dirty her hands to deal with a person like you. All the queen needs to do is sit sweetly and monitor the course of the battle. That's all."
While the dialogue between them took place, none of the two sides could make a move. Issac who was aware of this immediately turned his head towards them.
"Calm down and continue with your fight. Let me face this little fox."
Little fox of your head! They want to say that. But they felt they could trust Issac with this. With the morale returning high, they immediately stormed the remaining combined army. Boabdil attempts to hinder them but Issac intercepts him first.
"Your opponent is me."
The provoked Boabdil immediately threw his fiery fist at Issac but he managed to deflect his attack. Bobadil wrapped his body and gave his kick towards Issac's head. Unfortunately for him, Issac easily dodged his high-speed attack.
Seeing the power of Issac, Boabdil became even more upset. But he couldn't hold back because Issac was so strong that he managed to withstand his attacks easily.
Boabdil made a series of attacks on Issac. Using fire magic to limit his opponent's movements, he made use of physical superiority to urge Issac. The punches, kicks, and various other fighting techniques he used.
But, honey, Issac is bored. Boabdil is not as strong as the rumors say. Issac decided to end the attack with a very slow kick to Bobadil's chest. As a result, Bobadil bounced very far. His body slammed many times and finally stopped when it hit the palace wall.
He's not dead. But his body was badly injured. Her internal organs were damaged, her bones were crushed, and her outer body was bleeding. He can no longer fight.
At the same time, the royal army had broken through the palace and entered it. Not long after, a flag belonging to the kingdom of Heinz fluttered at the top of the Garlin royal palace. Other flags also fluttered in the fortress towers. Thus, the war that would later be recorded by history as the Battle of Pesa was won by the Kingdom of Heinz brilliantly.
