Chapter 404: Last Battle (1)

What I witnessed in front of me turned out to be a magnificent scene.

I had even begun thinking that I wanted to charge into the battle with them.

Seeing the people running through the plains with their spears pointed forward as they screamed at the top of their lungs made me feel excited.

"Charge!!"

"Chaargeee!!"

"Wahhhhhhhhh!!!"

"For Goddess Benignore!"

Divine power continued to fall over our cavalry unit.

The ground trembled before their might as a strange heat began to rise from our camp.

I felt stunned by the scene so much I forgot to head to the command and control room. Soon after, magic began to bombard us from the enemy camp, to which we answered back with defense magic that protected our troops and wrapped around our allies.

Our magical prowess was on par with the enemy.

Of course, I didn't know if the enemy had been hiding their true power, but at least it felt like it would be easy for our troops to reach the enemy.

As if they thought they couldn't handle our entire army in melee combat, magic spells continued to drop across the fields, causing loud explosions to reverberate and damaging our forces. However, that amount of casualties turned out to be insignificant.

As I watched the enemy troops prepare to greet us with shields and weapons unwaveringly, it was made clear to me that they had been waiting for us all along.

A device to prevent the rushing cavalry rose above the ground, causing some of the horsemen to roll over the floor upon being unable to withstand its strength.

I couldn't discern the life and death of any of the soldiers who had fallen, even though sacred power immediately rained down within the area.

'We're not doing terrible so far.'

I looked around and tried to make sense of the transpiring events, not because I doubted Lee Jihye's judgment, but rather because I thought I should be aware of the overall situation.

Watching the enemy who had already set up camp, they were definitely expecting us to arrive.

Castle Rock had been nothing but a bait.

What I wanted was a huge battle. That plain was the stage that he himself had created.

It was safe to say that it was designed to get the information he wanted and to initiate the battles he desired at the right time.

As for the quality and quantity of the troops, I couldn't determine which one was superior.

Looking at the siege itself, I could say that my judgment was correct from all the perspectives I could think of. If they were attacking the castle instead, I could be more relaxed.

I could've reorganized formations, set up camps, built frontlines, and waited for reinforcements.

Of course, it was still fortunate that the castle hadn't been dominated yet, but it was inconvenient that it was all part of the plan of the guy who had designed that very situation.

Either he had hidden moves... or he had some form of insurance.

Other than that, there was nothing that could explain the current situation. If he wanted to see the war last a little longer, he should've focused on blocking the road a little longer.
