Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife? - Chapter 70.1

Clang!!

The group of monsters, which trusted its strong body and faced the cavalry, was literally subdued.

It was because the impact of forces, which combined the maximum speed and the weight of the iron armor, was not expected at all with low intelligence monsters.

“Oh, wow…”

In fact, it was not just due to their intelligence.

Glenn and his knights were also exclaiming with astonishment.

“It’s more destructive than we could imagine.”

Someone said so in a trembling voice out of excitement.

They were unable to hide their surprise as they looked at the situation on the battlefield.

As the first charge of the heavy cavalry turned their heads, the second row, which was waiting, began to speed up.

The front row of monsters were crushed by the first charge, and the next monster unit behind it appeared.

Some tried to use their body as a shield, but it was not enough.

The second row, like the first row, was subdued in vain by the heavily armed cavalry. The third and fourth attacks followed.

By that time, the enemy was literally in ruins. There was not even a battle.

Either they were running away in fear, falling down with a broken leg, and trying to fight again – it was a mess.

Shriekk!!

Some that could not overcome the fear began to flee in a hurry.

They didn’t have a commander to stop running away monsters or an instinct that said to stop charging forward.

The enemies who lost their guts and ran away were the easiest opponent.

The cavalry captain was not stupid enough to miss the opportunity.

“Go after them! Don’t miss a single one!”

No matter how fast those monsters were, they couldn’t beat the horses’ speed when they’re tangled up in a mess.

The monsters who showed their backs defenselessly had to become meatballs stung by Lance before long.

When the archery units located on the side overtook and blocked the retreat, the monsters were truly mouse in a jar.

It didn’t take long for the punitive force to clean up the monsters.

Giscard, the captain of the Knights who watched the scene from beginning to end, gave a review.

“I’ve fought against monsters several times so far, but it’s the first time it’s over as simple as today.”

“It was largely thanks to the fear that they collapsed on his own. They don’t have the intelligence either.”

“The same is likely to be true of the human troops.”

“…No doubt about it.”

Humans had weaker body and mentality than monsters, so the fear of first encountering a heavily armed cavalry on the battlefield would have added to the pressure, but not less.

“We can use it as a hidden card for battle in the plains.”

They had also been through the black death and subdued monster waves, so they had achieved a lot.

Satisfied with their achievements, Glenn gave his orders again.

“Put in the infantry to finish. Don’t miss a single one and thoroughly destroy them so that they don’t cause more damage to civilian houses.”

“Yes, Sir!”

The rest of the troops, ordered by their lord, rushed toward the remaining monsters.

*

On a vast but barren plain under the Yeres Mountains.

The bodies of the dead monsters were scattered here and there.

In the midst of hell, where it was hard to find a place to step,

“Oh, what a waste!”

Nadia was bursting with grief.

“Madam?”

Hearing her sigh, the men around her turned their heads at the same time. Everyone seemed to think that their ears were wrong.

‘What did she just say?’

‘I probably heard it wrong, right?’

The only thing to waste around here was the lives of a small number of soldiers killed.

But it was bound to happen, so what in the world she was referring to?

Fabian, who could not overcome his curiosity, opened his mouth first.

“What are you talking about, Madam?”

“All this blood and flesh…Oh, the skin is all damaged. It’s such a waste…”

“What?”

All they could see was monster carcasses, so they never imagined she would refer to them.

Was it because it was a waste of manpower to be mobilized to clean them up? Or was it the land contaminated with monster blood?

Nadia said, pulling at the hem of her husband’s dress, instead of replying to the wondering knights.

“Glenn, it’s good that our agricultural production increased, but shouldn’t our march also sell specialties now? We need to develop a secondary line of trade.”

“…Specialty product.”

“Yes.”

Glenn replied regrettably.

“If there was such a thing, we would have sold it earlier. Unfortunately, Winterfell’s specialty… It doesn’t exist.”

It was a sad reality, but Glenn had to admit it. He thought iron ore was the only resource that came from their land?

However, Nadia was not convinced, but only asked straight back, wondering.
