I’m Back in the Other World? - Chapter 94.1

Chapter 94.1

Chapter 94 – War Start

After setting up camp, two days passed in which I mainly talked to other adventurers . Maa, nobody bothered with explaining rules and regulations of war though .

We were assigned to the left wing of the army, A rank adventurers will serve as commanders, and will lead units of around 100 people .

On the third day, scouts reported that there was movement on the camps on the other side of the border, our camp instantly became tense .

Not many of the people here should know war . Even the knights haven’t been in one in a long time .

I don’t know how things will go, but we need to keep our calm, we may have a numerical advantage, but we’ll lose if we move recklessly .

The battle will probably start tomorrow morning, so we shouldn’t waste any time and prepare . But first, I should finish eating .

On the fourth day, our troops hastily moved to the battlefield, before dawn .

A messenger arrived last night, carrying the orders to move out .

I left a big luggage in the tent with water and preserved meal, and brought only my sword to the meeting place .

More than half of the adventurers have already gathered in the meeting place, most were tense and anxious . Even I am feeling a bit uneasy myself . It’s the first time I’ll kill a person anyway, I think anyone that didn’t get anxious is plain mad .

There are still plenty of people running around under the dimly lit sky .

As soon as the sky lit up, the commander raised his voice .

「Start moving towards the border! Don’t delay the other troops!」

Each unit commander was relaying a similar message .

…… Oto, everyone already started moving, let’s follow them .

When I got to the border I could see where the battlefield would be, there were lots of people on Soutinsu’s side . They seem to be going all out from the very beginning .

Of course, Sobyuuru has gathered all of its strength as well .

According to our information, Soutinsu’s army has 60 thousand troops, while Sobyuuru army army has less than 70 thousand . The difference is less than 10,000, and when thinking of big armies, 10000 isn’t that much of a difference, the skill and morale of the soldiers matter a lot more, as well as the number of magicians .

Soutinsu has been focusing on magic since long ago, and they also have a good number of mercenaries .

Sobyuuru had no major war in several decades, so it is worse in warfare if compared to Soutinsu, which constantly tried to expand its territory through wars .

Because the Sobyuuru knows that, they probably recruited the adventurers, since they have plenty of combat experience .

I’m not sure which side will win this .

However, Sobyuuru has many friendly countries, so we’ll have the advantage over the isolated Soutinsu if the conflict takes long . Even if Sobyuuru loses this battle, plenty of knights and allies will arrive if given enough time . Reason why Soutinsu is trying their best to win this in one decisive blow .

The two armies were glaring at each other . The tension kept rising as the feeling that a battle could start at any moment spread .

With the rise of the sun, messengers quickly moved through the army .

Eventually, the movements ceased, and a countdown to the war’s start could be felt .

The signal to start a battle is made with magic . A thing like a signal flare is launched and all commanders move with it .

Paaaaan!

A sound like the burst of a balloon was heard, and red lights shone in the sky .

「Allied forces, advance!」

With the voice of the commander, soldiers and adventurers started running .

「「「「「Uoooooo!!」」」」」

And so, the battle begins .

Part 2 comes soon~
