228. Illusion
Hilderan was full of death.
Five cities were captured, completely destroyed.
The devastated land has been reduced to a place where life cannot survive. The infiltrated Magi rejected the creatures of Alain.
And death spread to the next city.
“Damn you bastards! How long are you going to come?”
Killed many monsters. But more monsters are coming.
It was like a wave, a nightmare that seemed to never end.
wow-
─!
The ogre threw a huge boulder. The gates were broken with a bang.
It was like a wave, a nightmare that seemed to never end.
wow-
─!
The ogre threw a huge boulder. The gates were broken with a bang.
“The gates have been opened!”
“Stop it!”
“order!”
The knights who were waiting erected a shield.
─!
The ogre rushed like an angry bull and collided. The dust roared.
Then the minotaur slammed its horns.
“Aww!
“Hold on! Keep your formation!”
A few knights flew away, splashing blood. The knight at the back immediately took its place. But the monsters were not alone.
The monsters that ran through the magic bomb, arrows, and magical bombardment smelled the blood of humans and became more wild.
He showed himself to live by surrendering his body to his instincts.
─!
─!
In front of tens, hundreds, and thousands of hordes, the aurora became dull and the armor was destroyed. The knights knelt one by one.
“Prepare to retreat! Abandon the fortress!”
Count Pagan gave the order with a sullen face. It has been a long time since all common people have evacuated. All that was left was the soldiers to follow the order to inflict as much damage to the monsters as possible.
But since the gates were broken, that was the limit. In the first place, the cities near Lake Gracical were vulnerable because they were not built with the foresight of the enemy’s invasion.
“Retreat like this and go to Ain Castle.”
After joining the troops there, he endures again.
“Is there any hope for something like this?”
He smiled self-consciously. I know this is best for Hilderan, but there are too many enemies.
Kill, kill, kill and kill again. No matter how much I kill, no matter how much I kill
“The number will not decrease.”
The northern part is slowly being devastated. The embers of hope are slowly extinguishing.
They requested assistance from other countries, but the kingdoms facing the lake were not active, fearing that the waves would come to them.
“Damn Empires.”
Akan and Iasin, and the neighboring kingdoms were worried about the invasion of the Empire.
So Hilderan was isolated.
“Why do you have to be Hilderan!”
That was then.
───!
The Count rolled over on the floor in shock as if an earthquake had occurred. A cloud of dust obscured his vision.
“Woah, what’s going on!”
“Hey, it’s a demon! A huge titan has broken the wall!”
“what?”
Is the wall broken?
“…you crazy.”
The Count smiled sadly. The wall was really broken. Where is that? A titan bigger than the 10m high wall was pounding and roaring at his chest.
“…the Count.”
“Retreat now.”
“The demons have invaded the castle and the soldiers of the outer castle have been isolated. I have to save them…”
“Then you want to die? Those who can get out get out first.”
“dismissal.”
“The Crown Princess’ orders were to preserve as much power as possible. I just do my best there.”
“You don’t have to.”
A voice suddenly intervened.
“It’s not completely late.”
Hwareuk-
Like the sun, a mass of deterioration dyed the sky red.
“Lo, Roselle Chartres!”
“I’m sorry. It was a little late because there were so many monsters.”
Roselle Charter lowered her hand.
the sun has gone down The roaring titan swung his giant ax towards the sun. The black magic split the space like a storm.
─!
It made a huge dent in the sun. But that’s it. The scratches were just scratches.
“Don’t make such a fuss and look around quietly.”
───────!
the sun has gone down An explosion occurred. The flames of deterioration engulfed everything.
No, to be precise, only demons and monsters were burned. Although he was watching from the side, the earl’s mouth opened at the unbelievable manipulative power.
“What are you doing?”
“Yes, yes?”
“The great star has come, so I won’t tell you right away. Isn’t it supposed to raise morale?”
“No, of course!”
The Count tapped the knight who was drooling with his mouth open.
“Yes, yes!”
The knight ran away.
“The great star, Roselle Chartres, has arrived! Fight back!”
Wow-
In the place where the fire disappeared, only things that were ‘monsters that had turned to black ashes remained.
The morale that had fallen to the floor recoiled in an instant. Roselle Chartres smiled contentedly at the hot shout.
“Yes, this is it. You have to wipe it all out.”
Roselle spread flames and moved forward.
“There is a magic that suits cockroaches like you.”
Roselle memorized the spell. That moment.
A black flash flickered. space is split
─!
A harsh shock exploded in front of Roselle’s nose.
Her gaze turned over there.
There were demons. It was a dark elf holding a bow made of bone and without arrows.
“Do not act without caution. Wasn’t it supposed to be a big deal?”
“Of course you have to stop. Don’t be silly.”
“I’m not a normal guy.”
“know. Just by looking at them, they are high-level demons.”
Roselle grinded her teeth. Ralph Schmidt, who blocked the intangible arrows made of magic, lowered his shield.
“And it’s them, not them.”
“Isn’t that one guy?”
“okay. It seems that the patience of lies has run out. If our chocolate-loving owner doesn’t come sooner, it’ll be really bad. There are more and more advanced demons.”
A little later, Ralph also detected them.
“…that’s 12 guys.”
“All of them are high-level demons.”
“···this.”
It might be a little difficult.
“Don’t pretend to be weak. Not even a demon king, just a demon.”
It was true that the high-ranking demons were weak compared to the demon kings, but they were not the only ones to be called.
As if the level of the stars was very different, they were collectively said to be high-level demons, but the gap between them was also wide.
“Not normal guys.”
“know.”
It started with the high-level demons. Twelve dark elves gathered at once to protest.
faan-
An intangible arrow hit the space.
Ralph raised his shield. Chop the auror hard.
───!
Ralph’s body shook.
Roselle vomited the spell she had memorized the whole time.
Kururu-
A wave arose. It was a tsunami made of fire, not water.
The heat overflowed. rushed towards the demons.
That moment.
─!
The shield is broken. The tip of the sword stopped in front of his nose. Roselle snorted.
“Are you sure you’re not prepared for anything?”
The dark elf, who came all the way to his nose, retrieved the sword expressionlessly.
That was the beginning.
The dark elves rushed to the two stars at once, not paying attention to the monsters on the ground.
Kaga-gak-
The three swords cut Ralph’s shield at the same time. While he faltered in shock, two other dark elves reached Roselle through his side.

Magi’s blade broke the shield.wickedness-
Roselle pushed her back. A few strands of hair were cut off. A hand engulfed in flames grabbed the dark elves’ wrists.
“Do you know how easy it will be to get hit?”
Fire engulfed them. Just as they were about to end them, Roselle threw them away.
The dark elves, who had been aiming for Roselle’s back, took their people and retreated. That gave Roselle a break.
“die!”
Like a dragon, it vomited fire, no, it was about to vomit.
Wedge-
There were more dark elves. The arrows they shot swam in the air like a fish, aiming for her blind spot.
The fire was extinguished and Roselle disappeared.
About 20 meters away, she appeared. As if waiting, the dark elf’s sword arrived.
“After all, dark elves are annoying!”
Roselle blinked again. However, the Dark Elves were extremely sensitive to the flow of mana and magic. They predicted the place where Roselle would appear through the waves that occurred in space.
He fired swords and arrows.
A wall of fire burned them. Spears of fire pierced their blind spots. The other dark elves stopped it.
“Very annoying, really.”
“I don’t think it will be easy to make a decision. Especially that guy over there.”
Ralph’s gaze turned to the dark elf as long as he didn’t move.
“That guy is the boss.”
“I see you are setting the mood. Still, one hit and you die.”
“The problem with such great magic is that it takes time, and they don’t wait for it or welcome it.”
“I should have brought Hillen Cargill!”
“The guild leader is busy blocking other places. It will probably be the same there.”
“Take a break during chatting time!”
The battle continued.
* * *
It was only for a short time that the rising morale was maintained.
The appearance of the stars allowed me to catch my breath for a while. Thanks to this, Count Pagan was able to abandon the half-broken outer fortress and retreat his troops to the inner city.
can be stopped can win
There was hope, but it was short-lived.
When the Dark Elves appeared and began to hold the two stars, things went on the same as before.
A tidal wave of monsters and monsters advanced while trampling the ashes of the earth, and the broken outer wall was easily overcome. knocked on the door of introspection.
“A magic cannon?”
“Mostly destroyed.”
“It’s a Dwarf Zephyr that the Alliance gave us, so we can’t make it again with our own abilities.”

Most of the magic cannons were placed in the outer fortress. The magic cannons were crushed together by a half-wave of the wall, and they had to face the enemies while losing most of the magic cannons.“The stars?”
“I don’t think I can help you right now.”
“…Did we just have to retreat?”
But now it’s too late. The stars have arrived and they are fighting. I couldn’t leave them.
It’s nonsense, but objectively speaking, it’s better for the soldiers here to be annihilated than the two of them die.
Even if they both die, they both have to live. You must never run away. You have to hold your breath until you win.
The moment I thought of that, the door of my introspection shook violently with the sound of a quajik.
A few ogres were knocking on the gates.
Count Akmun Pagan took the sword and shield.
“You command the soldiers.”
“dismissal?”
“The inner gate is weaker than the outer one. it will break soon I have to go out and stop it myself.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“There is no knight better than me in this castle. Knights of Voloi, follow me!”
“I take orders!”
Now, fewer than 20 knights remained, and their will was strengthened.
Holding the shield, he stood in front of the half-broken gate.
“If the gates are broken, step back. Support us so we don’t get pushed out.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers who were pushing the gates with their bodies nodded their heads.
─!
The gates were soon broken. The soldiers screamed and fell.
Wow-
The ogre struck down a huge club.
The count calmly raised his shield.
─!
The club, which had been deflected at an angle, fell to the floor. He drew a sword on his forearm, which was marked with veins.
─!
A painful scream rang out. The Count lowered himself and cut off the ogre’s ankle.
thud-
the guy fell The other knights stopped him from breathing.
“Come anytime!”
The count roared.
“I will not pass this castle over!”
At least until the stars come to a conclusion.
* * *
haha···!
A sweet smell came out of his mouth. It got so rough that I couldn’t control it.
It was so heavy that it felt like my arms and legs were going to break. The squeezed Aura Hall was like a dry oasis.
“Bur, hold on.”
Kaga-Gak-
He deflected the claws of an unknown monster with his shield. He thrust his sword into the open gap. The monster that was stabbed in the heart made a bizarre sound and collapsed. There was no body left, but it was scattered as it was in powder.
The Count raised his sword again.
There are monsters and human corpses all around.

Most of the knights who followed him lost their lives. He ended his life serving an ugly master.Quang!
He hit the running orc with his shield. He cut off the staggering man’s head. The sword was stuck in the neck. He clenched his teeth and tightened his power. The orc fell with a popping sound.
“Shit···.”
─!
The sword and the sword collided.
The sword escaped its master’s hand. The torn muscles trembled in his hands.
I quickly raised my shield. A dreadful shock struck. After taking one step back and relieving it as much as possible, he picked up the knight’s sword, which was his subordinate.
bowed down The hammer passed with an eerie sound. stabbed with the sword. An unknown, low-level demon has died.
“If I had known this would happen…!”
A shield was placed on the hammer that blocked the view.
Quang-
The Count staggered and fell. The shield that ended his life due to abuse was split into dozens of pieces.
rolled the floor It left a deep mark on the floor with a bang.
“It’s just retreating!”
He collapsed and swung his sword. The lower level demon’s ankle was cut off. When the guy fell, he took his stomach and shoved his sword straight into it.
“dismissal!”
The demon that was aiming for the count’s back was stabbed and killed.
“Thank you. Ken. Are you the only one?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, Ken. Help me by your side.”
The last remaining knight, Ken, nodded.
“Pick up the shield and block only attacks I haven’t seen before.”
“Yes.”
“It’s come this far, shouldn’t we protect it somehow?”
“I will follow.”
“By the way, I don’t have the strength to lift my head, so maybe the battle between the stars and the higher-level demons is over?”
“…it’s still going on. But the number of dark elves has been reduced to less than half.”
“A star is indeed a star. How did you kill high-ranking demons so quickly? If I had killed a lot of them sooner, I would have called them the sun, not the stars!”
spatula-
Hellhound fell to the ground, dripping blood.
“I don’t know if I can hold out any longer.”
“You must hold on!”
“While I still have the strength, Ken, lead your soldiers to retreat. We need to save as many troops as possible.”
“no!”
“No way. The warriors are important, but aren’t we all life? I guess I’m not the type of commander. I can’t bear to have the soldiers die for both of them.”
That was the moment. An unknown power surged from his heart.
“Go, sir.”
“what?”
“The light from your body . . .”
“light?”
It really was. Count Pagan laughed. Everyone living in Arain knew what this phenomenon was.

Most awaken before their twenties, but those who awaken at a later age were not entirely absent.“At this age, in this situation, awakening as a hero. I’m going crazy.”
“Congratulations!”
“What do you admire? It looks like everything is backwards.”
The count nervously swung his sword. And the aftermath was bigger than expected.
──!
The body of the ogre, who was running with a huge club, was split in half. The same was true of the monsters that followed.
“uh?”
“uh?”
“Is this what it’s like to awaken as a hero…?”
It is said that each warrior has individual differences…
“You know what! These bastards are all gone!”
The count roared.
That was the moment.
──!
An explosion occurred in front of me. The minotaur just exploded.
“···uh.”
“What you did…”
“I don’t have a knack for shooting bombs from my hands.”

──────!
Thousands, tens of thousands.
that.
It was a bomb.
One was a rain of shells transforming into hundreds of shells.
The demons screamed. Everything outside the castle was filled with explosions and smoke.
“Oh my God, do we still have any magic cannons left?”
“Not a wall!”
“Then support?”
“dismissal!”
“Why are you screaming though. It hurts my ears.”
“Hey, the sky…!”
The knight, Ken, pointed to the sky with trembling hands.
“Look at the sky!”
“sky?”
The Count raised his head.
“What the hell is there in the sky?”
the shadow is gone
“What a crazy…!”
It was huge.
It was majestic, majestic, and majestic.
“Ta, Top…?”
it was the top
A huge tower was flying in the sky.
are you dreaming
pinched her cheek It hurt.
rubbed your eyes still not gone
“K, Ken?”
“Yes, yes, sir.”
“Can you see me too?”
“Look, I see it!”
“Then my eyes didn’t get hit by a goblin’s blind arrow and I’m a fool?”
oh my god
“It’s a flying tower…. That tower bombards magic cannons and kills demons…”
Count Pagan grabbed Ken by the shoulder and shook him.
“It can’t be! This doesn’t make sense!”
“Why are you doing this to me! I don’t even know!”
“Why is such a thing floating in the sky! Even that’s not a magic bullet made of mana, it’s a magi! It’s a bullet made of magic! What if that bombardment falls on us? If you do this, everyone will die!”
“So why don’t you ask me?”
“What is the answer of a knight to the Count!”
“There’s something like that on your head, do you think you’re asking for something like that?”
“…and that too.”
The Count rubbed his eyes once more.
Still, the tower did not disappear.
Rather, it showed off its majestic figure more clearly and in detail. For a moment, I thought it was cool.
“Ken.”
“Yes.”
“Can I still see you?”
“I see . . . How in the world could such a thing exist?”
“It’s simple.”
“Is that true?”
“I am actually dead. This is a mysterious form of a periwinkle just before death.”
So he denied reality.
“Did you properly hear that I can see you too?”
“Then it looks like we are both behind. Either that, or being caught by a succubus and seeing a vision. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense…”
ugh eh eh-
“dismissal!”
Count Pargin collapsed, bubbly.
“Wow, after all, my physical condition is bad, so I’m vain…”
He was relieved at the consciousness that was moving away.
I agree with you Count, a flying tower would look so cool!
