"Kuh-ha-ha-ha! How dare you underestimate me? You will be destroyed. Any cavalry that can move follow me!"
The man who was probably the enemy's commander took my challenge well.
The problem was that the enemy commander had a martial force of 85.
He was a famous warlord.
I had expected this to some extent, but I was a little surprised to see 85.
However, there was no time for hesitation.
The first thing to do now is to proceed with the mission.
"Bente! We're retreating!"
I escaped with Bente in response to the commander's assault, I wanted to lure him away.
[Visigoth Army: 1,221 men]
As I fled, I checked the information and found that about 1,221 cavalrymen were following me, with over 10,000 troops being driven back in the mountains.
There was no better opportunity than this.
If the enemy commander's strength had been a little lower, I would have been shouting in victory right now.
"Activate the trap!"
Since my army's white troops were completely unreliable, I had also set traps in advance at the places where they would be lured.
I shouted to the ambushers as I ran away, and the traps I had set went off against the cavalry.
The area quickly became a scene of chaos, as the horses of the cavalry running behind us were stabbed by bamboo spears while squealing, or fell down from atop their mounts when they tried to avoid the traps.
"All right, now! Let's get some arrows in them at once!"
Bente shouted as he rushed the soldiers.
He then took a bow in his own hand and shot a few cavalrymen who were coming towards him, but he was not satisfied with that, so he drew his sword and ran, cutting down one soldier after another.
The effects of the bamboo spears and the rain of arrows began to rapidly reduce the number of cavalry charging at us.
In no time at all, the morale of my troops was boosted.
[Aquitania Provincial Army: 902 men]
The number of enemy soldiers was greatly reduced, but the problem was still the enemy commander.
He rushed at us, swinging his spear blindly.
The arrows and bamboo spears were all destroyed by his spears.
Then, with his brilliant horsemanship, he came over the bamboo spear traps and cut down our soldiers one after another.
[Aquitania Provincial Army: 700 men]
Furthermore, thanks to the struggles of the enemy troops around that enemy general, the number of my troops began to decrease rapidly.
He is strong and if he is such a strong warlord, he must have some unique skills.
However, at my current level, such unique skills are not displayed in the system.
I have to defeat him, it's the only way to win this battle, however he is a monster with 85 martial force.
"Are you the lord? Die!"
The spear he threw flew at me, spinning at high speed as if he had used some kind of skill.
Indeed, the difference in power level, which is 27 in this case, is absolute.
To defeat a warlord with such a huge difference in martial force I need to have enough troops to overwhelm the enemy's army.
If the current enemy has about 700 soldiers, I need at least five times that number to gain the upper hand.
That's how important a strong general is in this game.
But we can do it, I've prepared a way.
Unfortunately, at the moment I thought that it was Bente who blocked Randall's spear.
"Take cover, Bente! That's an order! Trust me!"
Protecting the lord at all costs, it is a loyalty worthy of respect.
However, in the current situation, he was clearly a hindrance.
My current martial force was terrible but there was a way to fight Randall.
I quickly scanned the item.
In a way, it was thanks to this that I was able to recklessly leap into this battle.
[Do you want to use the bonus item Heavenly Demon Rain?]
The message sparkled in front of me, and just as I nodded, the item was activated.

This was my [Perk] the reward I received after searching the castle
______________________________________
[Heavenly Demon Rain]
[Power Level +30]
[Duration of effect is 30 minutes, cooldown time is 5 hours]
[Weapon Skill: Crush / Can be used once every 30 minutes]
______________________________________
I've never seen an item with a +30 value, not even a +10 one in the game.
I couldn't help but smile.
It had a cooldown time but if I used it at the right time it was clearly a cheat.
This is a weapon that can make a B-class warrior into an S-class one with a snap of their fingers.
My current martial force is 58 and with a bonus of 30 it would become 88, that means that with a bit of leveling I can exceed 90.
Then there will be almost no enemies in this world that I can't compete with!
