In order to surprise the rear of the Holy Army, Iniya led 200 soldiers from the Styrian clan and 500 warriors from various elf clans from all over the continent and laid an ambush in the forest on the left side of the battlefield.
The reason why they were not detected by the enemy’s reconnaissance even though there were seven hundred troops in ambush was because of the North Sea elemental art that the Styrian clan was proud of.
The Styria clan is a tribe that mainly uses water and dark spirits to control cold.
They are able to hide themselves perfectly using the spirits of darkness. It is a perfect stealth technique that deceives not only sight, but also magic and energy.
In fact, when Iniya first encountered Antares, not even Auror user Kalken or Russ, who had such good spirits, noticed the presence of the Styrian clan hidden in the valley. At best, an observer launched by a regular magician of the 5th circle would not be able to understand them.
While hiding like that, Iniya was only measuring the timing for a surprise attack as Carol said.
-Antares has fewer troops than its enemies. So he needs to use the trick of surprise attack properly.
The number of troops that Carol could operate against the 10,000 Holy Army was limited to 5,000. Given the current national power of Antares, anything more than that would have been impossible.
To overturn numerical inferiority, an exquisite strategy was essential, so Charles aimed to turn the tide of the war through a surprise attack instead of a simple siege.
-You must deal with a situation where Arsrail and Datwa troops are rushing in, or are completely pushed back. If you aim for the rear when the battle begins, it will just be an ordinary two-sided attack. So the enemy simply counterattacks. Since you have the upper hand in troops, the front troops can deal with the front, and the rear troops can deal with the rear. You need to aim for the moment when the opposing camp’s attention is completely focused on one side.
The wise Iniya immediately understood.
– Ichiro is like a martial arts counter?
A counter attack is not a powerful blow simply because it doubles the opponent’s strength and doubles it. Rather, it targets the gap in the opponent’s consciousness and mind that has neglected defense while focusing on attack, so it can be defeated with one blow.
Carol also told Iniya, who understood, the exact timing for a surprise attack.
-The best time is when the orc riders rush the knights and destroy the enemy lines, but such a good opportunity will probably not come.
Since the stubborn Orcs insisted on using spirit weapons until the end, Carol predicted that the Orc Riders would be pushed back as soon as the battle began.
-You will probably be quite confused and pushed back in the beginning. Since Shinseong-gun has won, they will be excited and fight hard. Make a surprise attack right then. No matter how many units are waiting, in such a situation, your consciousness is focused on the front lines. If a rear force suddenly appears there, it is not easy to react. The commander will also be embarrassed, and even if the commander does not panic and gives a proper counterattack order, the following troops will not move smoothly.
Although it was an ambush and surprise operation that was at a rudimentary level in military science, Karl was confident of success.
There was no way the Shinsung Army would not scout the forest in advance, which was a very good location for an ambush. And once you are sure that there is no enemy, you will inevitably let down your guard. The Stealth techniques of the Styrian clan were so unconventional.
It was a flawless strategy, so Iniya followed suit. And they continued to look for opportunities to make surprise attacks.
The problem is that something unexpected happened here that even Carol did not expect.
‘Do you think those ignorant squires would attack with their bare fists without even thinking about retrieving weapons?’
Iniya stuck her tongue out inwardly.
Clearly, as Carl said, the Orc riders were instantly suppressed. But again, I wasn’t pushed back. Rather, with his bare fists, red blood, and hot blood, he immediately became attached to the knights.
Even Carol of the world couldn’t have guessed that Orcs would be so ignorant.
The situation did not unfold as I heard, and it became unclear whether I was being pushed or pushed away. So Iniya was confused as to whether this was the right timing or not and missed the timing to attempt a rear attack.
Thanks to this, we ended up joining forces only after a considerable amount of our allies’ blood was shed… … .
‘But it’s not completely ineffective!’
Although it was late, Iniya ran out just at the moment when the Antares army was being pushed back. Thanks to this, the knights at the front were embarrassed by the surprise attack from behind and lost their concentration, so it could be said that the trick of the surprise attack was saved.
The Holy Army in the rear is unable to respond for a moment as it is swept away by the quick mobility of the Styrian clan, which is rampaging through the battlefield like assassins. Iniya turned the reindeer’s head. In this gap he had to help the other.
‘First I have to deal with the author.’
In order to stop the Golden Knight Yusus, a powerful magic swordsman, from far away, you must be an Auror user. Now that she is trapped and struggling, she is the only one who can stop Yushuth.
“Serpel, I will take command!”
“Yes, Chief!”
Iniya was about to run the Auror’s reindeer while giving orders to her lieutenant.
“Taaaaaat!”
With a loud cheer, a purple blade aura pierced the air from the center of the enemy camp. At the same time, a middle-aged knight riding a dazzling white horse rushed out and shouted.
“Don’t panic, warriors of Sayre! “This body is the one dealing with that witch!”
☆ ☆ ☆
In the melee, Duke Iranad continued to run his horse and deliver slashes left and right. The Auror user’s abilities were truly formidable, and even the agile Styrian clan could not react before their heads were blown off. The Duke shouted to the knights as he slaughtered a dozen elves in an instant.
“Don’t get excited! Wasn’t this already expected! Move as you are trained!”
Only then did the knights regain their composure and launch a counterattack.
It was already expected from the Duke’s words that there would be an ambush. He just let his guard down mentally, wondering how an enemy who couldn’t see no matter how much he scouted could set up an ambush.
Once they regained their composure, the knights began dealing with the elf forces according to the strategy they had prepared in advance.
Experienced knights shouted from all directions to wake up the younger students.
“Don’t be fooled by them! “It’s just that the movements are strange and the attack range is wide, and the attack itself is not strong!”
“Fight as if you were dealing with harpies! Then it’s no big deal!”
The fighting style of the Harpy, which attacks by frantically flying through the sky, and the Elf, which uses jumping to target the opponent’s back, is similar in some ways. Of course, there is a big difference in technological sophistication, so it can’t be compared to something like a harpy… … .
“good! “I can see it slowly!”
“I went on a rampage for a moment, but it’s over! “How dare you, an elf!”
Once I regained my sense of dealing with an opponent, the elf’s fast movements were not something I could handle. The number of bleeding knights quickly decreased. At the same time, the damage to the Styrian clan began to increase.
This was not the time to go catch Yusus. Embarrassed, Iniya swung his sword and showed off his Aura skills again.
“Breath of the North Sea!”
A cold fog covered the entire chaotic battlefield. Her Auror skill, Breath of the North Sea, controls the enemy’s movements with powerful cold and its range is also amazing. In addition, it has amazing control ability to select only the enemies and freeze them even among the enemies.
Saaaaa!
As the fog spread, the knights’ momentum was broken again. Sayre’s priests tried to stop it by activating sacred spells, but it did not work.
“Ugh! “How can Sayer’s protection not work?”
“If it’s a magic fog, it can all be stopped!”
Duke Iranad clicked his tongue.
‘Keu, as expected, there is no way to deal with that method.’
Information about Iniya’s transcendent Auror skills is already known to the Duke. Since it was used in various places, including the Principality of Chatan, there were quite a few people who were personally affected.
The problem is that even if we know, there is no way to stop it.
Neither divine protection nor magical defense work. Elemental magic is a technique with different principles and a different dimension from magic, so it is not blocked at all by dispel or anti-magic defense against anti-magic. There are no shortcuts to that Auror skill, which is outside the realm of humans and fuses Auras and spirits and turns them into material phenomena in the present world.
‘But you can’t set fire to the knights… … .’
In the end, there is only one way.
‘There is no choice but to deal with the caster himself!’
Speeding his horse again and again, Duke Iranad broke through the elf camp. The Duke shouted, extending his purple blade aura.
“Antares’ elf auror user! “Iranad of Grime is against you!”

Slut!
Blade Auras rush in, making a booming sound. It was an attack with unusual momentum and not easy enough to deal with while diverting one’s attention to something else. After Beihai took his last breath, Iniya also gathered his spirit and counterattacked.
Paaang!
Purple and silver auras crashed into the air, causing ripples. Duke Iranad appeared between the ripples. Duke Iranad quietly got off his white horse, glaring at Iniya.
Usually, riding a hippopotamus is to show respect to the other person.
However, giving up words in a confrontation between Auror users has a different meaning.
It is the destiny of an Auror user to not be able to demonstrate all his skills while riding a horse, implying that he will do his best from now on.
“Umm… … .”
Sensing Duke Iranad’s strength, Iniya also got off the reindeer with a hardened expression. The spirit beast made up of auras disappeared as if melting into thin air.
‘It’s an amazing method.’
Iranad admired the sight for a moment and looked at Iniya with calm eyes.
“It’s called Iranad of Grime.”
“Iniya of Styria.”
With an arrogant expression, Iniya responded without even showing respect. However, the duke did not feel that he was unmanned.
That aura that flows smoothly yet firmly like a cold wall of ice proves how strong Iniya is. That haughty appearance goes well with that cold yet surprising beauty.
‘Indeed, she has the power to be called the Snow Queen.’
However, Duke Iranad has also been renowned for a long time as the strongest Auror user in the Kingdom of Grime!
“I was polite and respected you, but is this your reaction? After all, elves are unavoidably lowly things!”
To be arrogant, the duke also has deep knowledge. Immediately his attitude changed and the duke took up his stance.
Iniya snorted and aimed her sword.
“Will civility freeze to death when we are in a situation where we are going to kill each other? “After I pierce that heart, I’ll be as polite as I can!”
The speculation rose like a haze between the two, but soon turned into a storm that blew in all directions.
“I’ll kill you! Elf!”
“joy! “Who wants it?”
The two Auror users charged at each other with murderous intent.
☆ ☆ ☆
The dispute was still floundering.
“No problem, you Orc!”
“Sayre is watching!”
“Do you think we’ll back down!”
The shield knights at the front held on to the end no matter how many times they were beaten with auras, and the shameless ones at the back were throwing bows, spears, nets, sticky items, etc. to their heart’s content at the cries of chivalry. However, if you jump up, magic will fly and shoot you down.
“f*ck! “You annoying bastards!”
Hadatum became anxious, repeating the profanity he had used several times before.
Their encirclement was solid, but not sharp. The attack itself was so poor that there was no real threat to one’s life. Although it was the tradition of Orc warriors to focus on their opponents, they had no desire to regard these lowly bastards as their ‘opponents’.
So Hadatum had been glancing over the situation from earlier.
The situation of the war changed again when the Styrian clan led by Iniya joined forces. Orc riders were originally guys with high morale regardless of whether their allies were pushed back, so it wasn’t very effective, but humans were different.
It is a characteristic of humans to go up and down depending on the mood. When morale is low, humans are unable to demonstrate even half of their abilities, but when morale rises, they demonstrate twice as much ability.
Due to Iniya’s participation in the war, the morale of the light cavalry led by Asreil greatly increased and they were actually driving the knights.
Their morale was at its peak, and their skills were at a level that was no lower than that of the Orc Riders. No, in fact, the Holy Army was fully prepared and was putting more effort into it than the Orc Riders who were opposing it.
However, even so, the battle was still being pushed back.
Because of that one magic knight running wild in the distance!
‘The guy with the sword is using magic in such a petty way! ‘You’re not even ashamed of that!’
The Golden Knight Yussus is still at his wits’ end, moving freely through the enemy lines without any obstacles, firing spells and slashing.
Even a light cavalry with high morale and a brave Orc rider would become nothing more than a handful of souls if they were caught by the author’s sword. The difference in skill was so great that indomitable courage alone could not cover it.
‘Oh, we’re in big trouble! If this continues, they’ll all die!’
However, he, the only strong person who can stand against the author, is trapped in this strange trap and is floundering.
A tantrum broke out and the argument turned into anger.
“If you are warriors too, fight proudly! “What kind of petty thing is this!”
Of course, the knights didn’t care at all.
