Episode 141. Abyssin’s Field (3)
“What’s up!”
In front of the gates covered in smoke.
Kane screamed as he reached out, gasping for breath.
However, the atmosphere of the castle gate was surprisingly calm.
“Ah, deputy commander. The situation is already over.”
Two prisoners on their knees.
“Hey bastards! Where are your co-workers! Isn’t it blowing?”
“············”.
It seemed that it was none other than the two of them who carried out the sabotage.
Kane first confirmed that the gates were intact.
Seeing that the place a few steps away from the castle gate was dark, it must have been over there.
If I had allowed a little more access, I would have cut a hole in the gate.
And if it’s enough to cause an explosion like that, it means he’s learned magic quite a bit…
“Isn’t there anyone other than those two?”
“Yes. Even now, both the back door and the side door are being searched by strengthening the security, but not at all.”
“The citadel side?”
“The Commander-in-Chief and the Holy Knights are holding out.”
“then-“
What if the attempt to blow up the gates was a yangdong?
What if there were so many troops heading somewhere else that it wasn’t even a waste of two wizards who used them as discard cards?
Kane suddenly felt a chill creep in.
Whoops…!
Then, fireworks flew up into the sky and exploded, spreading a red light.
Red was the color of crisis.
In addition, the direction is unmistakably towards the wizard’s residence.
After making a quick judgment, Kane raised his sword high.
Then the red light pouring down from the sky reflected on his sword and scattered golden light in all directions.
“All support troops, except for the defenders, follow me!”
Immediately, Kane leapt to the wizard’s quarters.
About 1 minute to arrive.
Seeing that the signal magic was fired, it was clear that the barrier had already been broken.
Will Gawain’s daughter be able to survive a minute alone?
Even a high-level knight wouldn’t be able to deal with dozens of enemies who rushed madly from all directions.
“Wooa much!!!”
As the ominous thoughts kept coming back to him, Kane let out a loud roar.
Along with him, the knights ran after him, screaming as well.
I only wished the enemy would hear this and be terrified.
.
.
.
“Prime Minister! The barrier is broken!”
“Then did the intrusion succeed?”
“Yes. All 40 assassins have completely infiltrated the hotel.”
“············”.
It was delight.
As soon as he heard the news, the emotions that appeared inside Lorraine.
But it was difficult to get absorbed in it.
Because any emotion was bound to paralyze a person’s reason the moment it intensified.
As the excitement subsided, Lorraine remained as calm as possible.
‘Caught. Two wizards.’
Even if we thought calmly and rationally, the expected result was positive.
Starting with the personnel who could be contacted by the 4th Star Guard, the prisoners who were still loyal to the Southern Republic were gathered.
Brave prisoners who can commit sabotage that is no less than a suicide attack in the middle of the enemy line.
As a result, 10 former assassins and 30 ordinary soldiers gathered.
There was no way to get them all in one place beforehand.
If you do, you will be caught by the suppression forces immediately.
Each of them moved separately under orders, collecting information about all the buildings of the 4th castle, and eventually found the most suspicious place.
A hotel that has closed.
There was no hesitation as long as the imperial university students were seen coming and going there.
Neither the gates nor the citadel were such attractive targets for attack.
If they do, the living tactical weapon of the suppression force, the wizards, had to be the target.
And if the assassins called wizard hunters had penetrated inside, it was virtually no different.
“From tomorrow on, we can start the siege right away.”
When the power of the wizard disappears, the only advantage the suppression force has over this is the powerful knights.
Of course, the fierce horse charge of the knights was useless in front of the strong defensive positions.
Step by step, slowly advance the barricade and surround the enemy.
You will no longer have to worry about ranged magic attacks.
There was a minor problem of being retaken back to the 4th castle, but with this, we were able to win again.
“Prime Minister! It’s an emergency!”
At that moment, a mage mercenary opened the door and came in.
If you ignore the reporting system and run directly to it, it’s usually not an emergency.
Somehow, I wanted to hear only good news one after another.
It was Lorraine’s intuition that the time had come for the ominous news to arrive.
“What’s going on!”
“Schlus Heinkel has appeared… Schlus Heinkel has appeared.”
“What? In the Great Forest?”
“Yes. That’s why the siege succeeded and we’re attacking…”
“Uhhhh!”
Lorraine couldn’t stop and burst out laughing.
I had to keep my composure, but I couldn’t do it because the tension was relieved for a moment.
I knew the crisis was coming, but this time it was also good news.
In addition to the mage’s power, you can even get rid of that dreadful Schlus Heinkel.
It meant that it had inflicted a heavy blow to the suppression forces to the extent that it would not matter if all the reinforcements of the Great Forest escaped.
Now the end is really starting to show.
You have driven the suppression forces from this land and achieved independence.
It was the moment when I thought that I should prepare to face the Imperial Army.
“Yeah, by the way. There’s a problem.”
“Heh heh…. What is that?”
“The Great Forest is requesting reinforcements.”
“what······?”
reinforcement?
I doubted my ears, wondering if I had heard it wrong.
Obviously, twenty knights and more than three hundred elite soldiers must have been put into the Great Forest.
Besides, I heard that the siege was successful.
But you’re asking for reinforcements?
“Reinforcements? How many more do you need?”
“I don’t know for sure. They keep saying that reinforcements are needed…”
“Is that possible! Is it correct that the communication was received straight away!”
“Wow, that’s for sure. Even if you keep sending messages to report the status of damage, the other side says that reinforcements are still needed…”
“············”.
Lorraine’s expression hardened.
At first, I suspected a communication problem.
Next is communication disruption of the suppression force.
But knowing that both are extremely unlikely, Lorraine came up with a third case.
When three hundred people dispatched to the Great Forest are terrified as a group.
If you are unable to communicate properly due to fear.
“no way······!”
If only the elite troops were selected and deployed, that could not be the case.
I wanted to deny it over and over again, but there was no possibility that I could come up with anything else.
If it was true that the elite soldiers were panicking as a group, sending reinforcements right away would be futile.
“Send reinforcements to the originating location.”
“How many do you send?”
“All available personnel except cavalry.”
“······································································!
No matter how absurd the possibility, I decided to make sure.
Because I had to kill Schlus Heinkel.
***
I have never faced so many enemies before.
At least, it was the greatest when I had to deal with a dozen or so bastards during the midterm exam.
At that time, I was dealing with only idiots who could do some tricks with turning pocket knives, and who couldn’t really call it a fight at all.
And now we are dealing with elite soldiers who risked their lives for freedom and rose up to fight the suppression forces for months.
The odds of winning were slim.
No matter how many times I ran the simulation in my head, I could only see a future where about ten people were cut down and their arms were grabbed and mutilated in an instant.
But why?
“Who am I?”
Being so confident.
nothing to be afraid of.
Why do they look so flattering?
“It’s over. You bastards.”
He drew his second sword with his left hand.
A huge long sword held in both hands.
The one I chose was the double swordsmanship.
An unfinished swordsmanship that could not find a proper way to use it while fighting Triena Fellin.
There was only one reason for choosing this kind of garbage, and it was unexpected.
They are knights who fight according to the rules, and they must have fought against them until they got tired of it.
But, have you ever seen a knight using double swordsmanship?
You’ll be confused because you don’t know how to deal with it.
What if the light of this barfé, which Suin hates terribly, was added to the unexpectedness?
Would it be enough to offset this absurdly unfavorable situation?
well That was something I was going to find out from now on.
“Wow, where the hell did you appear…!”
Quad Duck!
once a guy.
He ran towards the drowsy man and swung his bape, and his head flew away with blood gushing out of his neck like a fountain.
There was little resistance.
It felt like cutting a piece of paper.
“Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh…!”
“Everyone surrounded! f*ck!”
The effect of the surprise had already faded.
For a moment, even if I was mesmerized, the enemy moved in unison and surrounded me.
First, I knew that the pressure the Bape was exhaling was not enough to make them pee and sit down.
Still, fear was evident in their faces.
Fear was seen before fighting spirit or hatred.
If so, that was enough.
“I’m running away…!”
They attacked first before the siege was completed.
He cut off his arm as he blew out the sword that the trembling man raised.
“Ahhhh!!!”
Next, he cut his throat with an iron sword.
Only then did he become quiet.
“I’m trying to get out! Stop it!”
“············”.
I guess I interpreted it as trying to break through the siege and escape, or the enemies were running in front of me in an instant.
Sorry, but half right and half wrong.
He was trying to break through the siege, but he wasn’t trying to escape.
I was planning to dismantle the siege by making you all incapacitated.
“Aww!”
“100 million!”
“Don’t stop! Put more in! More!”
A riot ensued.
If you take one step forward, two people will run at you, and if you cut them down, three will run at you.
‘slow.’
Even if their movements were slow, they were too slow.
It was slow, even considering that Trienna Fellin was too fast.
Am I being restricted by this blue light?
Anyway, thanks to them, it wasn’t difficult to cut them down.
Because they really didn’t know how to deal with double swords.
There was no immunity to additional blows coming from the same direction after the blow.
This is an attack pattern that can never be found in general swordsmanship, so it’s only natural.
Shh. months.
There was never more than two swings per person.
With this much superiority in combat power, the difference in numbers was meaningless.
Even if they came from all directions, there was no blind spot in the attack range of the two swords.
After cutting and cutting again, I could no longer hear the shouts of the beasts in the forest.
“Ahhhh!”
“My arm! My paar!”
“Uhhhh running!
Only those who fled in a hurry or lost one or two of their limbs and crawled on the ground remained.
Seeing the bloodstains all over the place and the corpses ripped apart at random made me dazed.
I don’t think we’ve fought in a few minutes yet, but so many have already died?
When I raised my arms, I could see that they were trembling.
It wasn’t out of fear or tension.
The muscles had reached their limit.
‘It’s too easy…?’
Cheeky, this was the thought that came to my mind as soon as the battle was over.
It was so easy.
The level of Triena Pellain was not even expected.
Still, I expected such a difficult battle that I couldn’t get past without getting hurt, but it was all in vain.
The enemy was much weaker than I expected.
no. did i get stronger
When I was thinking about such unfortunate thoughts, a voice came from far away riding on mana.
“What are you! Why are you running away!”
“Hey, it’s a monster! You can’t fight that one! You have to run away!”
“What do you mean? Reinforcements have arrived, so rest assured!”
As he loosened his right fist, the Bape was sucked in in an instant, and darkness came again like pitch black around him.
Reinforcements are coming?
okay. It can’t end with this.
I was just getting a sense of how to use the double sword technique.
I squatted down in the darkness again and watched the distance.
I watched the enemy lit a torch and headed this way.
It was ridiculous that they didn’t even know what the future would bring to them.
