Chapter 105: The One Who Curses Digs Two Graves (1)
ΟΟΟ
The year 1506 of the Imperial Calendar. The 30th day of the 3rd month, 9 o’clock in the morning.
The elite soldiers led by Barbatos defeated the imperial forces that were being commanded by Margrave Fritz von Rosenberg. The Demon Lord army successfully captured Pratzen Heights.
Barbatos turned her troops as soon as she finished reorganizing them. She deployed all of them to the right wing where General Zepar and I were defending desperately. The 20,000 imperial soldiers that were overwhelming the Demon Lord army’s right wing were now surrounded on both ends.
– The Crown Prince has been taken prisoner! The margrave has fallen!
The commanding officers of the imperial army clearly began to panic once they were told that the generals that were at the top of their command had been wiped out. The desire to retreat to minimize their losses and the desire to fight till the very end collided. The former suggestion came from the officers from the main army while the latter suggestion came from the officers that served the margrave.
The right wing of the Demon Lord army had been fighting fervently since the middle of the night, so their original military might of 4,000 had been reduced to 1,500. Barbatos’ unit had also been reduced to 2,500 soldiers. On the other hand, the imperial army still had a healthy number of 20,000 men.
While the imperial army was struggling to come to a decision, Barbatos utilized her <Bone Monarch> for the first time in this battle. An immense amount of mana is required to move a bone dragon, so the mage unit had to use up all of their energy to provide mana as fuel. Regardless, the dragon proved extremely effective.
Once the 20-meter bone dragon descended on the battlefield, the imperial army was consumed by fear. Their formation collapsed for an instant. General Zepar and Commander Barbatos didn’t let that opportunity go by as they sent in their troops.
