224 – Breg River Surprise Battle (7)
“f*ck, this is disgusting.”
At those words, Otto took a breath and answered.
“The Viscount Lübeck flag, several baronial flags, and wow… those bastards look so strong.”
Since Count Hansa’s flag is not visible, it is clear that the count himself is not here.
Furthermore, the guys in the vanguard are spewing out blue aura fog like crazy, perhaps to raise the morale of their allies…
Even if he didn’t come directly, he must be trying his best to raise the morale of the guys who are being one-sidedly beaten by us.
Of course this resistance was effective.
“Count Hansa’s knights have arrived!”
Like falling dominoes, this word spread throughout Count Hansa’s army.
“This is the Knights of the Chinese Characters! “Baron Lichte has arrived, he is alive!!”
Seeing as a baron-level man holding a sword and holding a sword, it must be because he is extremely confident in his skills, right?
I need to raise the alert in my mind by one level, no, two levels.
“Long live Baron Lichte!”
When Lichte, at the front, stretched out his hand to the sky, the soldiers around him blew their trumpets loudly.
‘Pooh!’
A huge trumpet sounded, and Lichte lowered his hand, and this time, a wizard behind him began chanting magic.
“Burn down the enemies in front of me, fireball!”
The fireball fired by the wizard flew almost over his head, but Lichte didn’t even think about dodging it.
However, he just pulled the sword out of the scabbard and swung the sword.
Baron Lichte’s figure was momentarily obscured by the flames of the severed fireball.
Then the people around me started laughing.
“Is that idiot dead?”
Others also added their words.
“Unless that guy has reached some kind of expert level, he would have been defeated.”
Hanson, who was now a knight in the assault corps, asked me a favor as if he were begging me.
“Baron Cologne, the morale of those people over there must have been low. “Let’s hit it right now.”
But I just couldn’t believe that that crazy guy was dead.
Who would commit suicide in front of all the soldiers just because he was a baron?
Even if he had intended to commit suicide, he had no choice but to be fine, and even though he was hit by a fireball, he didn’t smell like someone was burning…
The guys around me have even memorized resurrection spells like ‘Is that bastard dead?’, So he’ll be fine.
“Be prepared. “I’m dealing with that guy named Richte.”
And those who have reached the level of being able to cut magic with a sword are at least Expert level, one level higher than me.

In addition, there is still no such strong swordsman in our baronial family.
Including everyone, including me.
As I expected, the flames that surrounded him as if burning him did not even leave a trace of fire on Lichte’s armor.
When the knights of Count Hansa saw that, they smiled and laughed at us as if it was natural.
“You Baron Cologne is a bastard who can’t even use this kind of skill, right?”
It’s frustrating, but if someone throws a magic like fireball at me right now, I have to avoid it at all costs.
Because I have not yet reached the level of cutting magic with a sword.
The soldiers under Count Hansa were also very excited by the appearance of an overwhelmingly strong man.
“Please kill the bastard Baron Cologne!”
“Long live Count Hansa!”
“Now I live! “f*ck you for living!”
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even though Guan Yu and his equipment are not at the level of turning the tide of war, they can imitate them at the level of an expert level.
What this means is that you can easily deal with about 100 people by yourself.
On average, a knight using an auror can kill about 10 people, so if you combine it with at least 100 elite knights…
The power of a prosecutor who has reached the expert level is to do the work of 500 people alone.
So, of course, I had no choice but to develop chicken skin all over my body.
As Richte took his current, he straightened his shoulders and pointed his sword at me.
“I, Baron Schwarz von Lichte, was originally the son of a low-ranking knight. However, he is a swordsman who was recognized for his ability by Count Hanja and was given the title of Baron Danseung based solely on his swordsmanship skills.”
If you go to a place like the Montmartre Imperial Guard Knights, those who have reached the level of sword master, including the knight commander, are customarily given the title of Danseung Count, and those who have reached the upper level of Sword Expert are customarily given the title of Danseung Baron.
In addition, treatment, salary, and standard of living appropriate to each position are guaranteed.
Of course, this is a great privilege and a source of pride for the recipient, but…
“And, gloriously, if His Majesty the Second Prince wins the civil war, I will also be able to officially become a baron! In addition, Count Hanja will give you a huge reward! “You will be able to gain wealth that cannot be compared to looting, rape, and murder!”
However, even if they are the same baron, a Baron Danseung can inherit the title to his successor and cannot rub against the baron who holds his own barony.
There is no need to bow down to be treated as a ‘baron’, but you are in a position where you have to bow down to an equivalent level.
No, there are many cases where a few powerful high-ranking knights prey on you, right?
It seems like he has quite a bit of political sense in exposing his weaknesses and stimulating others’ desire for success.
“So, first of all, I will cut off your head, Baron Cologne, and offer it to the Count to change my position! “Just try dying!”
Baron Lichte said so and emitted an aura from his body.
The Baron has a blue film around his body, as if he has become a superhuman.
When he ran toward me, he ran faster than a cheetah, which is said to run at over 100 kilometers per hour.
“Die, Cologne!”
The sword he was swinging was 100 kilometers per hour, or so fast that not even an afterimage was visible.
The speed, which I had no idea how many kilometers per hour it was, stimulated my instinctive fear.
“Get lost!”
That doesn’t mean I couldn’t block the attack, but…
“Ugh!”
I felt a huge shock that felt like my arm would break off.
He only blocked one attack, but the impact was like pushing a stone with both hands.
Lichte tormented me by swinging his sword from all angles.
I tried to cut or stab, regardless of whether it was the head, shoulders, neck, or back, and whether the armor was strong or weak.
Do you think that because your level is so high that you can cut me with your sword no matter what kind of armor I am wearing, or do you think that when you are tired from beating me to death, you are planning to stab me in a vital spot?
I wasn’t sure exactly what the intention was, but one thing was certain…
“f*ck you!”
Only about 10 seconds passed, but we exchanged over 20 attacks, and I almost died just now.
Because the sword grazed my neck.
I felt a chill down my spine, and after a while, I felt hot liquid flowing down my neck.
It must be my blood that flows down my throat.
“You’ve survived well, get over it!”
He continued to push me as if he was disappointed that he couldn’t kill me.
You can even strengthen your own attacks a little, so you can relax and leisurely without using the elemental attacks you often use.
The reason for doing something like that is obvious.
‘I am strong like this, so don’t worry.’
As expected, he rose from a low-level knight to an expert level with only his swordsmanship skills, so he seems to know exactly what he needs to show as a vanguard commander.
It can’t be this bad from the perspective of the victim.
f*ck, you’re really good at raising the morale of your allies by making fun of people.
And this thing actually had a huge effect.
A roar was heard so loud that it could not be drowned out by the sound of swords clashing.
“Long live Baron Lichte!”
“Fight! “We can win!”
“Follow the Baron!”
I was barely able to block it out.
Others may be fighting with Count Hansa’s elites around them, but there is no time to look or pay attention to them.
Why? If I lose my mind now, I will be the one who falls over immediately.
In the meantime, Hilde tried to intervene.
“Master!”
He slowly approached me while holding a short spear and dealing with the knights around Baron Lichte at high speed.
“Get out of the way, you bastards who don’t know pride or honor!”
I am very grateful, but I am currently fighting against difficult elites.
In the meantime, what if Hilde gets involved and the situation turns against us?
In the worst case, I could end up dealing with Baron Lichte and the others under him.
If that happens, you’re really screwed.
“Hilde, focus on what’s in front of you!”
When I told her that I was worried about her, Baron Lichte stepped behind her.
Not much time had passed, but we had already exchanged several sword strikes.
With the difference in level between us being so great, of course I tended to be pushed out…
“I heard that you reached expert intermediate level in your 20s, and you become stronger while fighting. “It’s quite good.”
After saying that, he changed his posture.
Not a typical posture, but your own unique posture.
At the same time, sparks began to fly from Baron Lichte’s sword.
‘It was a good idea to change the armor to mithril…’
Mithril does not conduct electricity, so you don’t end up like an electric grilled chicken every time you encounter a sword.
However, that doesn’t mean you can absolutely be at ease…
I’ve been pushed back so far, but if he gives his all, will I really be able to win?
“Go with all your might, kid.”
