Chapter 207
Feels like it's been forever since I last did a main story chapter. Unfortunately, I don't have any stock so no bulk today/tomorrow. My schedule is changing again so I'll probably be putting out 1 chapter a day over the next couple of weeks.
This chapter was a pain. Curse your Berserk for giving people false expectations of battles during the middle ages! Quick everyone move to the right! *one week later* NO! They've dodged everyone to the left now! *two weeks later* Yes! Attack! *two minutes later* The battle has ended! We will now wait vigilantly for six months and then go home!
Year 7445, Month 8, Day 8
After hearing a conversation like they'd been doing some sports and thinking about some stupid things the details I heard from sister weren't all that far off from what I expected. The stage for the battle this time was a village called Myuze on the Eastern part of the Dirt Plains and it seems it was originally a village that was pioneered by Rombert Kingdom around 50 years ago or so. After that, the lord of the village changed around three times and up until a short while ago Devas Kingdom was in control of it. The dispatch this time was an invasion of that Myuze village.
The one in charge of the overall command was Viscount Kenudus the third company commander of the first knight group and the core forces this time were the second knight group and Webdos knight group. Other than that there was a number of smaller territories knight groups besides Webdos who's members didn't even add up to 300 people and the total forces added up to around 2,300 people or so.
The composition of the 2,300 people was around 200 people including retired knights who were permitted to be on horseback(More than half of those are former knights and lords of villages like brother, or even if they're not knights the relatives of lords and nobles like father), around 1,200 people including archers and infantry, then the remaining number was largely made up combat engineers, supplies, and those sorts of support units needed for setting up a military encampment from the second and fourth knight groups. These supply units as well as escorts and command of the combat engineers also end up needing infantry and commanders to oversee things as well.
From the first knight group including Viscount Kendusu who was acting as the commander and sister there was another 20 people dispatched. Half were knights and squires and then the other half were an exclusive supply unit with high mobility. Sister participated as an advisor for someone named Radoru who was a fourth or fifth company commander of the second knight group as they split the entire army into three groups and he was leading the right-wing. The dispatch unit that included Bakuddo village and the Webdos knight group was the core of the left-wing and the leader Sendhel.Webdos was the commander of the left-wing.
The various random additions like the knight groups of small territories which are difficult to take command of and the remaining units of the second knight group were all gathered and positioned in the center where Viscount Kendusu, two other true knights of the first knight group, and three squires took command over everything.
Around midway through February they arrived in the King's Direct Territory roughly 90 Km to the north of their objective location of Myuze village in Zango the capital of the Zangotto region which Count Jobu acts as governor of, there most of the army of Rombert Kingdom excluding a portion of units gathered and started training for about a month on the deployment. No matter how late they are by this point the Devas side would have detected the organization of an invasion army from Rombert Kingdom. About one month later the highest levels of Devas should have been conveyed the information.
After that, following a week long march, they arrived at the point roughly 10 Km north of Myuze village and setup an encampment in Bekkosu village which was the front line at the time. The army of Rombert Kingdom swallowed up the roughly 200 members of the second knight group that were stationed in Bekkosu village for defense and then finished up the organization of the invasion army.
