Pababat!
“It is said that there is no business in Daguri, but… … It didn’t even work for the nukes.”
I moved my body left and right to evade the magic, and immediately swung my staff.
“Element Magic – Frozen obe!”
A huge block of ice created above your head. It is two to three times larger than the Frozen obe used by ordinary 4th Circle wizards… … . A huge block of ice nearly 10m in diameter was created.
and… … .
Chunwaaagh!
The ice mass rotated at high speed, sending sharp fragments of ice in all directions.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of fragments. The size of the fragments was estimated to be 5 to 10 cm thick and 30 to 50 cm long, and the fragments, like bolts from a crossbow, pierced the bodies of allied soldiers in an instant.
Fufufufufufufufu!

“Aagh!”
“Ahh… … !”
“All, legs… … . Whoops!”
Knights armed with armor.
However, this does not mean that the armor covered the entire body. There were gaps in the armor, including the face, and fragments of ice penetrated through them.
“Go, attack… … !”
Fu-wook!
Archers who drew their bows on the wall, wizards who recited casting words to cast magic, spearmen who charged with holding spears, and even knights who commanded soldiers.
A fair and equal death was presented to them all.
“Sah, live… … !”
A young soldier whose legs were pierced by ice shards. It seems that even the proper armor was not handed over.
As he crawled across the floor, another shard of ice pierced his head.
dump!
I did not twitch a finger at their begging for their lives. No mercy can be shown until victory is certain.
Now, in order to instill stronger fear in the enemies, he only smiled.
“I am… … It’s Kayneth L Arden!”
The 30m radius around me was definitely clearer.
Only, the floor was a little dirty. There were hundreds of corpses lying on the floor around me.
And the soldiers of the allied forces who came to help belatedly saw me standing on top of hundreds of corpses, and looked at me blankly as if they were frightened.
* * *
The southern wall collapsed, allowing the imperial army to invade, but the allied forces.
The soldiers of the Allied Forces, who were struggling against the 50,000 Imperial Army.
Kwaaang-!
I was startled by the roar from the north.
“Boo, the north gate has been breached! You guys follow me!”
About 100 soldiers rushed to the north gate at the direction of a knight in uniform.
And the moment they arrived at the North Gate, what they saw… … .
devil. yes it’s the devil
If you don’t call that a demon, what the hell should you call it?
A boy, probably 15 or 16 at the most, stood on top of the corpses with a staff slung over his shoulder.
“Eh, what is this… … .”
The number of corpses strewn on the floor alone seemed like 300 to 400 could easily be passed over. Including the corpses on the walls… … It must be said that 500 people were killed.
The floor was covered with red blood, and Allied soldiers trembled as they looked at the demon in the boy’s skin.
What should I do? Should I swing my weapon at that demon right now? or not… … Go to the south gate and ask for support?
However, the fortress was breached before even attempting a siege, and the Allied forces were on the brink of defeat.
then… … .
“Retreat, retreat! Everyone, retreat through the emergency door!”
In addition to the north gate toward the Kingdom of Spert and the south gate toward the Labadian Empire, this fort had emergency doors that could be accessed by 2 or 3 people on the east and west sides.
The soldiers of the allied forces began to run away through the emergency door in a hurry at the retreat order.
Maybe they forgot who built this fort?
The Labadian Empire had blocked the emergency door in advance.
The Allies, who had been fighting fiercely with the Imperial Army at the South Gate, were blocked by Keynes the moment they tried to escape to the North Gate.
Tuquaang!
“Aagh!”
“Sah, live… … !”
As the Allies who fled through the North Gate began to gather at the South Gate, Keynes raised his voice.
“Sheep hunting… … It’s a start!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
The ruthlessness of forgetting the preciousness of life. The sight of him slaughtering countless soldiers was literally demonic.
The moment when 2-3 thousand soldiers lost their lives at the North Gate alone.
“Drop your weapon! Otherwise, I will take your lives!”
As the knights of the empire shouted loudly, the allied soldiers hurriedly threw their weapons on the ground with a pale face and began to surrender.
Chaeng-Geurang!
“Keep your weapons in one place! The 3rd division waits at the north gate, and the 1st division organizes the inside of the fortress! And the 2nd Division will take those who surrendered to the fortress’ central vacant lot!”
After receiving instructions from Keynes, each division commander moved their bodies in perfect order.
Those who tried to resist were cut down, and those who chose to surrender were tied up and gathered in the central vacant lot, and all weapons and armor they used were retrieved and disarmed.
When the situation was over, Kayneth took out a communication tool from his chest and injected mana into it.
Maybe 10 seconds have passed?
Lyard’s face was reflected in the communication port.
-… … What’s happening all of a sudden at a time like this? Got a problem?
Were you sleeping?
In response to Lyard’s slightly dissatisfied voice, Keynes replied with a calm face.
“We just recaptured the 13th Northern Border Fortress.”
– What, what? what are you saying now… … .
“Currently, 20 to 30 percent of the city walls have collapsed, and three watchtowers have been greatly damaged. First of all, I think we should hurry up repairing the walls rather than the watchtower.”
-now… … Aren’t you kidding? Have you already reached the border? No, more than that, have you already recaptured the border fort?!
Ryard burst into astonishment beyond absurdity.
“It takes two days to reach the border. and… … If reinforcements were sent from the Allied Forces, I thought it would be a headache in many ways, so I handled it a little hastily.”
-No, that’s what happens when you hurry… … .
It is said that the Imperial Army has more troops than the Allied Forces, but it is a siege warfare in which you must attack the fortress.
There are probably few beings who can handle it so quickly.
Ryard once again realized how great the power of being a 5th Circle mage was.
After the end of the Harperos War, the Imperial Army spent about five days peacefully patrolling the 13th Northern Border Fort to gather information.
And after completing the information gathering, Keynes, who had departed for the North with a large army of 50,000 two days ago. No, it was past midnight three or four hours ago, so it should be three days ago to be precise.
-Even that Count Jurumus took about five days… … . You attacked the fort overnight? Just kidding… … .
Kayneth turned the communication port and showed the captured fortress before Ryard could finish talking.
-… … nope
Chapter 116
116. 13th Northern Border Fortress (3)
“I am not calling you at this time to tell you a joke. Rather, an estimated 10,000 Allied soldiers were captured. and… … .”
Ryards received information about the damage of their allies and the situation of the fortress. He let out a long sigh at the result beyond his imagination and nodded once with a blank laugh.
– Imprisoned in the dungeon of the fortress… … .
“It will probably be difficult. The maximum capacity is about 1,000 people, but if there are 10,000 people… … . It will be difficult even if you put it in.”
In response to Kayneth’s answer, Ryard paused for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.
-… … Should we consider it fortunate that it is not the middle of the winter?
The northern regions were certainly colder than the central and southern regions, but not yet below freezing.
-Even if we send troops to transfer the prisoners right away, it will take quite a while… … .
“Then, let’s make a temporary prison.”
– Temporary prison?
“You can create a pretty solid rock wall with magic. It may be cramped, but the prison can accommodate 10,000 people… … No, it is possible as long as it makes us.”
-… … Really anything goes. First of all, do what you say. I will send personnel to transport the prisoners in a hurry.
“Yes, please. however… … .”
– Hmm?
“When can we go down to the islands?”
The achievements and results were sufficient. To the extent that there is no problem even if I return to the system right now.
Rather, you will be treated with utmost respect. Victory would be no different from the promised reward.
Ryard touched his chin as if he was lost in thought for a moment at Kayneth’s question.
-Hmm… … . First of all, shouldn’t we wait a few more days? The allied forces may also try to recapture the 13th Northern Border Fortress. You should be soaking in the battlefield at least until early December.
“… … okay.”
-Anyway, I’ll hurry up and send the manpower and experts needed for repairs. First of all, wait at the fort.
Keyes nodded meekly.
“Yes, I understand.”
-How much food did you take?
“It’s a week’s supply. However, the allied forces seem to have stocked up quite a bit of food, so they said they could last for about a month.”
In addition, various materials were stocked in the fort’s warehouse.
It belonged to the Empire in its entirety.
If you think of the food and supplies that the imperial army handed over when the fort was captured in the past, you can think of it as having been returned to the imperial army.
– It’s been a month… … . If news of this victory spreads, the central government will probably send enough food. Besides, since I’m here, I can’t carelessly touch it. Anyway, please do your best for a while.
“Yes, sorry for contacting you at such a late hour. Have a good night’s sleep.”
-I heard that you got the border back, but what’s the big deal about waking up at dawn? If any problem arises, contact us immediately at any time.
food.
“All right.”
When the light from the communication port faded, I hurriedly took control of the situation inside the fort.
Moments later, the commander of the 1st Division ran up to me and saluted.
Remembrance!
“Among the remnants of the enemy hiding in the tower, those who rebelled were killed, and those who surrendered were captured alive and brought to the central square.”
“Yeah, well done. Together with the 2nd Division, keep the prisoners bound with ropes and chains. Four days later, soldiers from the rear guard will arrive to carry the prisoners. Keep an eye on it until then.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The commander of the 1st Division gave an FM-style salute and a booming voice, and immediately carried out the order given to him.
The same goes for the 2nd and 3rd division commanders.
“Increase the number of guards until the walls are repaired.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I have a 24-hour vigilance system.
And the prisoners were put in a temporary prison I made.
Hundreds of Imperial soldiers supervised them closely.
The day passed like that.
The time when breakfast was being distributed to prisoners.
Allied prisoners of war with their hands tied with ropes held the Imperial soldiers who were in charge of food distribution hostage.
As a result, five casualties occurred in the Imperial Army, and 50 Allied soldiers who cooperated with the hostage were arrested.
Keynes handled the case rigorously.
Awesome!
“Open your eyes and take a good look! If you guys show your will to resist, I’ll cut your throat just like these guys!”
day of arrest. held their executions. To suppress the rebellious spirit of the prisoners.
But despite this, there were several disturbances a day.
“60 people as of today… … .”
“The faces of the prisoners were pale. I’m sure there will be fewer people going on a rampage in the future.”
In just two days, 60 people were executed. Compared to the number of prisoners, it must be small.
But every time the execution ceremony was held, I had my doubts.
Did you really have to kill them? Do I have the right to do that?
At the moment of conflict over such a question, the division commanders actively took the lead in the execution.
“Whoa… … . Yes, that’s enough of the prisoners’ problems. Then the problem is only the allied forces advancing.”
A wooden fence was erected in an area about 5 km to the north.
And an estimated 10,000 Allied soldiers were identified.
To be honest, I expected the Allied Forces to come out with the expression, ‘The enemy is a 14-year-old kid, so let’s attack right away!’
But even after three days, they didn’t attack.
“It seems that Viscount Arden’s reputation is quite famous even in Spert Kingdom.”
They say that in Sperth Kingdom they call me a devil or a goblin.
“I’m only 14 years old. Aren’t devils and goblins a bit too much?”
I muttered as if I was talking to myself.
Then, the 1st division commander, Taylor, smiled awkwardly.
