90 – 23. Advent (2)
Even at first, the atmosphere among the nobles was very good.
Because Fiore showed better performance than expected.
Everyone remained in place and moved as one body, pressuring the beasts.
After that, as the monsters shrank in one place, they switched to an offensive like lightning.
Everyone was amazed at the attack that came out like flowing water.
It looks like Fiore will wipe out all of those magic beasts at any moment.
It may subdue the 2nd grade Demon Lord with less damage than Lichtenauer.
It was to the point where they thought that they could be in that honored position.
But that rosy imagination didn’t last long.
“Ahhh!! Me, me!”
“Phi, won’t Fiore collapse!”
At first, I thought it was a small incident taking place in an ongoing battle.
However, the knights who were in charge of the rear were being pushed out more and more.
Both the left and right wing collapsed, and the main unit was in danger of being swept away.
“I’m going to be annihilated! W, there are no castle guards here!”
“It’s a big deal! Aren’t we supposed to get away soon?!”
Of course, there were not many escorts they brought with them.
Even Fiore’s elite were swept away, what would they do with less than a handful of escorts?
At least it would be better to run away while the monsters are still caught in the front.
The nobles who climbed the castle and watched the battle were confused and did not know what to do.
Once the defense line was breached, it would take an instant to return to Fiore’s true nature.
Their minds were filled with their own future being chewed up by demonic beasts.
“Don’t worry, gentlemen.”
However, Shien, the head of Lichtenau, had a rather calm expression.
“Lee, Lord Lichtenauer! The head of the family, hurry up here!”
“no. Rather, it is just the beginning.”
“A start! What absurd words are you talking about!”
Then Shien smiled and pointed at the wire with a nod of her head.
“Did I tell you? My attendant played a decisive role in the previous subjugation of the Demon Lord.”
What does that have to do with the current situation?
At that time, Lichtenau’s troops and knights would not have been defeated.
Wasn’t that why a servant or something was able to fight?
“Let’s watch closely from now on.”
But Shien’s expression looked so calm.
It was a reaction that could not be shown as a human being in front of that hell.
Even the one who fought against that hell couldn’t do that.
“How our servant of Lichtenau saves Fiore.”
* * *
Swept away, there was nothing else to say other than that.
The situation unfolded so perfectly that it was good for the eyes.
While the monsters attack, they fall down tired of their grass, and then counterattack.
Since they were level 2 monsters, they were even more vigilant and thorough.
I’ve never been caught off guard, I’ve never looked down on them as beasts.
These are the ones who have lost their comrades to the Witchbeasts until now.
How can I have a look of disdain in front of that monster?
It’s just that there are situations and methods that have won so far.
This time, the same situation was drawn and the method was used.
Fiore’s soldiers and knights, and Captain Karad, believed in victory without doubt.
“aaah!!”
“f*ck!”
That is until the magic beasts exert explosive power as if they were aiming for this moment.
“retreat! retreat!!”
All wires collapsed. There was an overwhelming difference in power.
No matter how well-organized the formation is to apply pressure, no matter how tight the strategy is.
Even if the soldiers and knights who have the courage not to back down do their best.
In the end, he couldn’t overcome that ridiculous power gap.
“Captain! The left and right wings have collapsed. If we continue like this, we too will be surrounded.”
“We need to get out of here right now. I fell as far back as possible… .”
“What will they do if we withdraw from the front? What is the head of the household going to do?”
It is already quite far from the main unit.
If you retreat further here, you will be moving in the opposite direction to Fiore.
It won’t be difficult to come back because you have the mobility, but it will be even harder to get support.
“But there is no way! If the knights collapse, the highest power will be lost!”
Just in time, a flag was raised from the commander’s side signaling the retreat of the knights.
It was Etria’s will to leave the battlefield and reorganize.
“Damn it.”
Captain Karad gritted his teeth and looked around.
In front of the overwhelming power of the beasts, all soldiers and knights were equally swept away.
If you hesitate any longer, the damage will spread out of control.
Even so, is it because of pride or guilt that I can’t back down easily?
Kyaaa!!-
Keuhehehehe!!-
“Captain! They’re coming again!”
Hearing the adjutant’s urgent cry, Captain Karad hurriedly ordered to prepare for battle.
However, upon closer inspection, the magic beasts were not approaching to attack.
Now those guys were under attack, so they were being chased.
‘What is this?’
Kwajik!-
Karad’s curiosity was soon resolved.
A man who suddenly appeared in mid-air smashed the beast’s head with the blade of his hand.
“Huh?”
“What, what is it?”
The opponent is not a 5th grade monster that is weak.
It wasn’t even a mediocre 4th grade monster, or a 3rd grade that would be easy to deal with if it was a knight.
They were monsters from hell that even the knights of the imperial family had trouble with.
It was said that at one time the empire might perish because of these people.
To crush that level 2 monster with your hands, not even with a weapon?
“Whoa.”
Let out a short sigh. It’s not the kind of breath you exhale because you’re out of breath.
It was a breath that was deliberately trying to calm the excitement.
“It will clear the way.”
The man covered in the blood of demon beasts muttered in an eerie voice.
Thanks to that, not only the knights, but even Captain Karad almost shouted what that meant.
“you… By any chance, is it the attendant who was by the side of the Lichtenauer family?”
“It doesn’t matter. The important thing now is that you have to follow me.”
Khehehehe!!-
Just then, a group of witch beasts rushes in again.
The startled knights hurriedly fixed their swords.
“Don’t step out.”
Fuhuaaak!!!-
With a terrifying voice, the monsters are cut into two at once.
Looking at that appearance, the knights instantly had the illusion that those monsters were 5th grade monsters.
Otherwise, they cannot be slaughtered like that at once.
sereung-.
Adele suddenly aims her sword at Captain Karad.
Thanks to this, the knights were about to shout what they were doing again.
“answer.”
“… ?”
“answer. I won’t go out Calm down, follow me.”
Captain Karad nodded slowly at Adele’s words.
Even though his pride as a knight tried to catch him.
Soon after, he met the light in his eyes and agreed to know.
“Give up all your words. They won’t last long.”
“Are you going to throw away your words?”
“And what if I become isolated!”
“Anyway, it doesn’t come out fast enough to run a horse. And if you fall off the horse, the monsters will take it unconditionally. If you want to be eaten alive by them, do as you please. You can ride on it.”
It was a murmur that didn’t feel a change in emotion.
However, the content was so frightening that even the knights of Fiore eventually got off their horses.
As he said, since the magic beasts have already reached a close distance, he can’t even use the horse’s speed.
“going. I’ll look ahead, so take care of those who come in.”
It’s like ‘don’t bother me.’ It feels like saying.
Adele jumps towards the beasts’ encirclement with a strong gesture.
The knights let out a sigh at the sight that seemed like an act of suicide.
However, a storm soon blew, and the monsters really split and the road opened.
It was a shortcut to the center where a tough battle was taking place.
Kieheh!!-
Great!!-
Captain Karad and the knights entered the path made by Adele.
Witchbeasts rushed from all sides, aiming for such knights.
Since the prey crawled to my feet, how could this not be a welcome thing?
Kwazijik!!-
However, the magic beasts that approached the knights soon fell as they spouted blood.
It was Adele who seemed to be moving ahead.
At some point, it seemed to come back to the side, kill the monsters, and then turn around.
I went back to the front and started slaughtering the demons one by one.
There is no hesitation or mercy in my hands.
Neat movement without superfluity, and even a cruel temper that is more than necessary.
It was not something I could have shown at such a young age.
“Captain! Would this really be okay! Keugh! Wow, it’s like it’s completely in their jaws!”
Even the senior drivers, as well as the regular drivers, seemed perplexed.
Until a little while ago, there was still a possibility of retreat.
As I followed Adele, I got stuck in the middle of a group of demons.
At first, Captain Karad also wondered what this was all about.
However, he soon figured out where he was and nodded.
‘You have to break through this siege to be able to join the main camp quickly. It took almost an hour to go around on horseback. Adele’s judgment is objectively correct.’
But if there is one problem, it is that they couldn’t even think of it on their own.
The placenta was injured and the horses were even abandoned.
In this situation, it was considered impossible to break through the siege.
Chew! f*ck! Ugh!-
Kieeck! Kkeueek!!!-
That is until Adele came, who was single-handedly slaughtering the monsters in front of me.
“… Everyone, focus on breaking through this encirclement. Raise your chakra! Thinking this is the final battle, I crush all the demonic beasts that rush at me!”
Captain Karad shouted and cut off one of the monsters first.
Unlike Adele, it’s a real shame that I couldn’t kill her in one shot.
There is no such thing as disgrace to be the leader of the knights who can only be pushed by a servant.
As soon as you manage to cut down one monster, another monster approaches.
It was a really embarrassing moment, as I was already out of breath.
Wow!!-
Adele’s fist hit the beast’s face.
In that single blow, his face is completely crushed.
Thanks to that, Captain Karad, who managed to escape the attack, was about to say thank you.
“It’s mine.”
“… uh?”
“Don’t touch me as much as possible and follow me quietly.”
It’s like seeing a huge monster growling as if its prey has been taken away.
Captain Karad thought so.
