The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 39

EX Story: The Ape King's Origin Part V

The enemy commanders watched in terror as their cavalry unit was annihilated in the blink of an eye. And for those commanders, they simply couldn't believe that their cavalry units were destroyed without even being able to put up a fight. Furthermore, they were also still in shock after witnessing those unbelievable maneuvers with their very own eyes. Then, to top it all off, there was also the existence of that aberrant cavalry unit that was somehow being led by a monster.

In truth, the commanders' reaction was actually a normal one. After all, even though the maneuvers of those cavalry units were truly outlandish, it was still possible to achieve that albeit with a lot of effort and training. And even though it was certainly a rare occurrence, the enemy commanders still know of some monsters that could actually ride in battle. Unfortunately, even for those battle-hardened commanders, witnessing a monster leading a cavalry unit made of humans shook them to their core. Because no matter how much they tried, the enemy commanders simply couldn't comprehend how the monster was pulling that off. More than that, the enemy commanders also couldn't believe that there were actually humans who were insane enough to follow the lead of a monster. If they had to guess, it must have been the work of that lord. But even then, that fact would only mean that they wouldn't be able to fully understand that lord's way of thinking, because for the enemy commanders, it was just too bizarre and out of the norm.

But much to the enemy commander's ignorance, the young Ape King's ability to lead a cavalry unit was simply a byproduct of fighting together with his master for years. Because in truth, the idea of having the young Ape King ride in battle only came up when they noticed his weakness. Of course, that didn't mean that the young Ape King was weak in battle. In fact, their species was actually pretty strong when they were fighting inside a forest. Unfortunately, that fact also made their species vulnerable when they were fighting in plains. In short, the idea was only a means to counter that weakness. And as for how the young Ape King was leading a cavalry unit, well, it was only possible because of the connection between the master and his monster. Using that connection, the monster could easily synchronize his movements with his master. As a result, the only thing that the members of the young Ape King's cavalry needed to do was to follow the monster's movements without question. Though obviously, this use of the master and servant connection was strange so it was no wonder that the enemy commanders couldn't wrap their heads around it.

After watching the destruction of their own cavalry units, the enemy commanders just stood there in complete silence. And even though they truly wanted to do something about that rampaging cavalry units, the enemy commanders simply couldn't risk the chance of losing their two remaining cavalry units. Because on top of being outnumbered, their cavalry was also undeniably inferior when it comes to battlefield maneuvers and coordinated attacks.

Naturally, because there was no left to hinder their movements, the cavalry units led by the young Ape King and his master freely wreaked the enemy lines. And though he could now freely join his master's cavalry units, the young Ape King still decided to have his cavalry units move independently. But even then, it was still clear to see that the young Ape King was synchronizing his unit's movements with that of his master's.

Of course, at first glance, it looked as if the young Ape King's master had managed to turn the tide of battle into their favor. But in truth, that wasn't actually the case because the enemy still had some reserved infantry troops. And while it was true, the enemy had no means to stop the rampaging cavalry units; it wasn't as if those cavalries had an infinite supply of stamina. To make matters worse, the horses that they were riding in were also the same. That was why even though their army had received some major damage, the enemy commanders were still pretty confident about their victory.
