Chapter 181 – The Ideal Movement of the Weakened

About a hundred years from now, there is something that was called Battle of Hanya.

That battle occurred during an invasion war.

The Aegina Kingdom at that time was invaded by other kingdoms, lost battles after battles, and was likely to be defeated.

"The Kingdom will fall if this continues", the King at that time judged, and started ceasefire negotiations with the condition of handing over half of the kingdom's territory.

Even so, the enemy's invasion had yet to stop, but the King continued the ceasefire negotiations by showing the attitude of non-resistance and obedience.

But the First Prince at that time objected that instead.

Claiming that there is no reason to negotiate for a ceasefire in the situation where they have lost continuously, he advocated for further resistance.

The King did not show approval.

The Prince's opinion were all rejected and finally, he was deprived all military authority.

The Prince obeyedーーat least, on the surface.

He obeyed the King's orders and made the army retreat, but on the other hand, he went out for a "walk", taking two hundred of his direct subordinates.

The place he went for a walk was Hanya. It's the place where one million enemy troops are approaching.

Hanya was an extreme topography interposed between the mountain road and the lake, which was unsuitable for the deployment of a large army.

Using that topography at its best, the Prince annihilated a million enemy troops!

That fight where two hundred men annihilated a million enemy was called the "Battle of Hanya", and was recorded in the annals of history.

And because of that Battle of Hanya, the enemy kingdom has lost much of its military force, with that reason, it made Aegina come back to life, and eventually won the war.

Ever since, the "Battle of Hanya" became synonymous with the battle that overturned numerical inferiority.

It is Helene's idea to use the first battle at that place where individual strength strongly affects the battle, and make Selene confident.

☆

Selene Mi Aegina continuously swung her sword.

"Leading" 200 soldiers, she charged while swinging her sword.

She is not commanding them. She is leading them ahead.

She does not have the ability to lead other people. The only thing she could do is to charge using her individual prowess.

That is why, rather than to describe it that she is leading 200 soldiers, it is better to say that she is charging as the spearhead of 201 soldiers.

The enemy force that came to intercept them was 1000. Five times of Selene's.

Selene did not falter to that disadvantage. She only continued to charge.

Following the legendary "Battle of Hanya", the same 200 numbersーーwas, of course, not the reason.

Selene is still in the realm of ignorance. There was no way for her to know the "Battle of Hanya", the greatest and most honorable battle in this kingdom.

What makes Selene assured is that existence behind her.

Even behind those 200 soldiers, the man riding on a palanquin.
