Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Each of the Bain kingdom soldiers jumped onto a cart after noticing the sound of the trumpets and Farlitz cavalry. They removed the cloth covering the cargo, which was a bath tub large enough to hold several people.

Without hesitation, Bain kingdom soldiers turned to the side from which Farlitz cavalry was coming from and pushed the large tubs on all the carts with all their might, causing them to fall from the carts to the ground.

The contents of the tubs spread out onto the road surface violently, spreading their fragrance everywhere.

Upon seeing this, the Bain kingdom soldiers jumped down from the carts and ran off in unison to the other side of the wagons.

At the next moment, the knights on the Farlitz side all shouted in bewilderment. Almost all the horses lost control and rushed forward as if in a frenzy. The knights did not understand what had happened.

The horses, which had run up to the objects scattered on the ground instead of the enemy, stretched their necks toward the ground at once and started to devour them, which were still steaming hot.

The Farlitz knights, who turned their focus to the ground, shouted in bewilderment as they looked at what they found.

“What is this?” (Knewbell)

“…Huh, beans?” (Subordinate)

Large creatures such as horses needed a large amount of food. Horses would not be able to conduct long-term military operations with the amount of fodder the Farlitz army brought in with them from Farlitz.

Moreover, the fodder in the Coltrezis territory was in short supply. Simply put, the horses were hungry from the start.

In addition, military horses required a large amount of vegetable protein. If they were fed only grass, they would lose weight quickly.

Military horses, which had been fed a diet containing vegetable protein when they were in Farlitz, had been carrying heavy knights and were fed on a strict diet of only a little wheat and weeds since coming to Coltrezis territory.

They had been frustrated by the nutritional value of the food. For such horses, a pile of beans that had just been boiled this morning and were still steaming hot was nothing but a feast.

Welner, anticipating the arrival of enemies from downwind, asked Count Harfolk to share a small amount of sweet-smelling perfume with him.

Next, he had that perfume sprayed on the tubs so that the sweet aroma would be carried by the wind to the horses and attract their attention.

Many animals like sweets, even horses, and from the horses’ point of view, one bite was too good to resist.

A knight who kicked a horse in the belly in an attempt to get it to listen to him was knocked off his horse, rolled onto the beans, and then was kicked out of the way.

Horses collided as they fought for food, and knights who were their allies collided with each other and even dropped their weapons.

A horse that had lagged, in an attempt to get its own food, slammed into the horse in front of it, crushing the knight’s foot as he fell.

One of the knights, who managed to maintain his position on the horse, looked around and saw that he was surrounded by horses in all directions and could not move or even get down on the ground.

They were trapped, not by their enemy nor by the terrain, but by the boiled beans. The Farlitz army was no longer a cavalry nor an army, but was reduced to a densely packed mass of people and animals.

“Enemy…gah!” (Farlitz Soldier)

One of the Farlitz knights was about to shout when a dull sound of metal on metal echoed.
