Chapter 103

Ibro looked suddenly to his back. There was the only place where danger could come from. The area at his back was his territory, but behind it laid other enemy areas.

His enemies could move their armies from behind his army crossing his undefended territory to cause a surprise strike to his. If he allowed them to succeed then this would deal a massive blow to his army.

He would lose his slight advantage that he paid a lot of his gold coins to get. He clenched his fists as his enemies' whole plot was revealed in front of him.

The only problem was how these enemies anticipated his direction? He chose that direction sporadically. There was no way for them to know this direction beforehand.

He also changed the direction more than once. They couldn't know his army trajectory at all. He thought deeply while looking at those closely approaching enemies and suddenly he laughed.

He was about to fall inside a very well hidden ambush. He didn't hesitate anymore. He finalized his counter plan and immediately executed it.

He knew he had a very narrow window, and he aimed straight for it. He immediately ordered the front army to engage.

The wings that were made of light cavalry flew towards their enemies. His orders were very specific and were controlled by a predetermined time schedule.

He didn't only give his orders to the light cavalry wings to move, but he ordered the shield warriors and other units too.

The whole army moved towards their enemies like an arrow launched towards its target. When his cavalry neared the enemy frontlines, a rain of arrows were launched towards them.

They moved in the way that Ibro instructed before in his orders. They fanned themselves out. Surprisingly, although there were many casualties, they were just a small number.

Ibro confirmed his first guess. He would win this huge battle if he won that narrow window battle. The archers tried another wave of arrows but the cavalry was really fast, they reached them before their arrows even reached the high sky.

They used their speed and swords to create big gaps in the lines of these enemies. In a few minutes, they were deep in the enemy lines killing easily these weakly defended monsters.

This looked good, but Ibro knew this was very bad. Once the fifth minute passed, Ibro then heard a loud sound of uncountable hooves coming from behind him.

He looked backward and wasn't surprised at all. He was smiling. He murmured:

"Finally, my little window has come."

He then left the front and moved in confidence towards the back. The nearer he got, the higher the sound of these hooves.

In the horizon, a very large cavalry monster army appeared. Its numbers were also over 100k monsters. Ibro didn't worry at all. He expected their numbers to be this huge.

These monsters were either humanoid monsters that rode over strange-shaped animals or very big horses, or they were horse type monsters with high agility and big lethality.

They needed no time at all to reach the back of his army. His back was formed of those heavy cavalries.

Their numbers were really small to be able to stop these monsters. But at this moment a transformation happened on the battlefield.

The front light cavalry disengaged smoothly from their weak enemies and formed two spear-like wings that moved at a very rapid speed towards the incoming enemies.

On the other hand, the front was taken by the heavy cavalry units who didn't give these enemies a single moment of rest.

The light cavalry was very good in long-range battles, but they would never be in comparison with the heavy cavalry.

These cavalries were like a train who wiped away anything in their way. Nothing could stop their charge from this close distance.

On the other hand, the back was taken by the shield warrior unit. The army formation was completely changed and these changes didn't happen on a whim.

Ibro gave these instructions even before the start of this battle. What he discovered was that his enemies would never guess his direction at all.

So, it wasn't logical to think his enemies would put this archer army in every place he could reach. The only explanation was that these monsters were weak monsters who worked as cannon fodders. they were here to delay him.

They even didn't have any war experience. They weren't archers who were meant to kill him, they meant to scare him and buy some time for their true army who moved from the back to backstab him.

This army would be a highly mobile army that was easy to reach his location rapidly. He guessed that this army would be made of cavalry monsters only.

behind it would be other types of monsters, but these reinforcements would take some time to reach him. This was his narrow window.

If he managed to kill each new army reached him then he would win. If his enemies managed to link their armies together then he would lose, he would lose badly.

He moved rapidly towards these new monsters. He checked his Dinar class window option. He could shift his stats anytime he wanted to be a magician.

But he didn't choose to do so. He needed a card for any sudden changes. He also noticed his previous stat shift didn't reset.

That meant he would always benefit from this and either be a tyrant swordsman or a mighty magician.

He began to like this class. his tactics proved its worth immediately. The shield warriors were the perfect counter for these incoming enemies.

All the archers and magicians were divided into four parts each to guard against each side with rows of archers followed by rows of magicians.

He knew that he stretched his army and now his sides were exposed. He knew if his enemies didn't plan to hit sides before, then they would move to hit them now.

That was why he didn't rush his long-range soldiers to take a role in this fight on both fronts. Although their presence would fasten things up, he didn't want to take unnecessary risks.

The front battle was nearly one-sided battle so he didn't focus on it at all. His all focus was on the back battle.

There lied his only slim opportunity to flip everything over. Once these cavalry monsters arrived at the shield warriors' place, they were stopped effectively.

Shield warriors were one of the deadliest enemies to these cavalries. At the same time, those light cavalry that moved from front to back had just arrived.

Ibro didn't stand by and watch as he used his strongest bonuses at once:

"Activate Taunt skill."

He then used his observation skills on some monsters around him.

They were all level20 monsters. That was strange, as the previous monsters he fought were only level10.

The frontline archer army was made of monsters of level weaker than level10 for sure. Why were there such high-level monsters?

Ibro didn't stop his sword even once while he was contemplating this situation. In this battle, the light cavalry managed to raise their levels by 2.

They were stronger than before, so their attacks were really effective in stopping these monsters in their tracks.

But if Ibro let the battle go on like this, these slight advantages would be lost. The enemy's level was really high.

Ibro didn't depend only on his taunt skill as he used his runes that he had from the previous battle to cause many wide damages at these monsters' ranks.

He threw nearly 100 runes in a short time which caused chaos and great disturbance in the monsters' army.

Ibro didn't want to use his long-range soldiers now. Every second passed he got a deeper feeling of imminent threat approaching him.

He didn't start to kill these monsters, but he started running all over the battlefield to gather nearly all those cavalry behind him.

This moment he wished he had a decent horse that would help him in this tiring task. His Agility was really high enough to keep a certain distance between himself and these monsters.

During this, the light cavalry started to kill these monsters one by one in a steady way. Ibro's runes played a major role in weakening these monsters' powers and HP.
