296 – Battle of Bohemia (13)
As if to prove that my thoughts were correct, I was able to hold on unscathed even after blocking Li Chen’s sword swing with all his might.
My legs feel a little shaky due to the fatigue and shock that has accumulated so far, and the bones, muscles, and joints of my entire body hurt…
“It’s worth a try.”
Now that I have reached the level of an Auror Master, this battle is a battle where I have to endure at all costs and then try to find a chance to win…
It has turned into a fight with a chance of winning where one can fight fairly with equal skill.
So even though our troops are now in a corner, there is a clear hope in my eyes.
If I cut off that damned Lichen’s head and raise his morale, that rotten bastard’s death squad will be destroyed in an instant and our army will be able to achieve complete victory.
‘We won.’
On the other hand, the sword of Li Chen, who is crossing swords with me, is trembling.
“f*ck you. “Awakening?!”
Of course, even if the two of us reached the same level, the game wouldn’t immediately tilt in my favor.
But no matter how much you are a sword master, it will be difficult to maintain your composure when faced with something completely unexpected.
You look good, you damn bastard.
Now is the time for a full-scale counterattack.
I threw away Li Chen’s sword, stepped back, and took a new stance.
A posture specialized for cutting from the bottom up, which is far from the standard posture.
When Li Chen saw my posture, he mocked me.
“Are you crazy because your level has risen?”
“You just have to guess to know what’s long and short.”
Then, when my sword was covered with a blue Auror blade, I swung the sword from the lower right towards his waist.
“It’s obvious!”
Li Chen took a stance to block the attack, but…
‘This is a trick I learned during my mercenary days! Dude, eat this.’
Forcibly changing the trajectory of the sword swinging towards his waist, I tried to cut him in the armpit.
Li Chen’s posture was greatly shaken by the unexpected trajectory change attack, and he also forcibly changed his sword’s trajectory to block my sword.
Even a bewildered sound came out of the guy’s mouth.
“Oh my, ten…”
It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill him with the first hit, but I still shook up his stance, so don’t miss this moment.
I swung hard and kicked the guy’s left shin with the back of my right foot.
Li Chen’s body, whose center of gravity was shaken, was hit by a shin attack, so it floated up and spun halfway in the air.
This is a position where you fall head first to the ground, so if you fall like this, an ordinary person will 100% die instantly due to their neck being broken…
The opponent is a master, so he won’t die at this level.
‘I don’t mind falling off a cliff.’
Thoughting to make a sure bet, I stabbed the guy in the back of the neck with my sword.
However, Li Chen avoided my sword by breaking his neck as much as possible even in the air, thus avoiding serious injury.
But since I couldn’t dodge it all, blood started gushing out from the back of the guy’s neck.
There were traces of his blood on my sword too.
It was barely a single blow. This was the first effective blow.
But since I couldn’t kill something, I naturally clicked my tongue.
“Tch, I couldn’t kill him.”
Still, cheers began to erupt little by little among the soldiers.
“Long live Viscount Cologne!”
“I want you to win, Viscount!”
“Win! “Ugh!”
Li Chen hit the ground, rolled over, stood up, and pointed his sword at me while assuming an unusual posture.
The tip of the sword is aimed at my solar plexus, and my back is bent in a squat posture.
‘If it weren’t for the Sword Master, I would have thought he had lost his mind.’
“Get lost!”
I thought there was going to be a stab aimed at my solar plexus, but the actual attack was not a stab at my solar plexus, but rather a sharp cut that cut my chin from bottom to top in that position.
“Ugh!”
In order to respond to such a sudden and varied attack, I used strength in my legs to force my body to stop and then pushed my body back as much as possible until I heard a crunching sound from my lower back.
If I didn’t do that, I would have cut everything from my chin to my brain.
Still, I couldn’t completely avoid his attacks.
Because the bottom of the helmet I’m wearing right now was cut cleanly in half.
‘f*ck, I almost died.’
Still, I found an opening in the guy who was about to try a new attack.
I will definitely be able to kill that pumpkin-tacky guy now.
“Get down, you f*cking bastard!”
I held the sword upside down and vigorously stabbed the back of the guy’s neck again.
‘Did I lose it?’
Ah, they say if you ask these questions, you will definitely come back to life…?
Fortunately, Li Chen’s neck was properly pierced by my sword.
At this level, unless the opponent is some kind of necromancer, there is a 100% instant death.
When he looked down, the sword in Li Chen’s hand fell first, and a moment later his body also fell to the ground with a crashing sound.
Because his vocal cords were pierced in one go, he died without being able to make any sound.
‘I won.’
When that thought occurred to me, without any delay, I raised my sword and cut off Li Chen’s head, then held it in my hand.
“I barely killed him.”
After seeing this, the elite soldiers under Mathias and the allies around them stopped fighting and looked blank, but this was because the news had not yet spread.
The guys behind them were fighting hard without knowing anything.
“Die! “You rotten things!”
“You pagan bastard!”
“Kill everyone without leaving a single one behind!”
To end this war, I spoke to the soldier behind me.
“Bring your long spear.”
The soldier who heard those words brought a long spear, and I pierced Li Chen’s neck with the spear’s blade and held it high.
I shouted very loudly with aura in my voice.
“I, Viscount Cologne, have subdued Matthias’s guard captain and sword master Richen! “If you don’t want to die, put down your weapons and surrender!”
When I shouted that, the soldiers of both armies simultaneously looked towards the tip of the spear I was holding.
Our soldiers just stared blankly, wondering if that was really the Sword Master’s head…
Screams close to wailing came from the enemy camp.
“The Sword Master has died!”
“Lord Li Chen has been defeated! “This is ridiculous!!”
“We are all dead now!”
Several enemy soldiers around me put down their weapons and fell down as soon as they made eye contact with me.
“Sal, please save me! “We don’t want to die.”
“Surrender, I will surrender!”
“What crime can people like us have?”
There is no need to kill those who surrender.
If this empire is unified anyway, they will all become Maria’s people, so we must spare them all.

Instead, I put the Auror Blade, the symbol of the Sword Master, on my sword.
And all the enemy soldiers who saw that froze in place.
“Only attack those who want to die.”
When I saw that, the enemy soldiers and several knights around me put down their swords and surrendered.
‘Did you decide there was no chance of winning?’
“Hold high the banner of Her Majesty Mary! From now on, we begin a full-scale counterattack! “Blow the trumpet!!”
Along with my command, a loud trumpet sound sounded from the friendly camp, signifying a counterattack.
The morale of our troops boiled over like boiling water in an instant.
“Long live Her Majesty Mary!”
“Kill Matthias!”
“We won! Victory is ours!”
At the same time, our soldiers gathered their weapons and charged towards the enemy camp.
With Li Chen, the core of the enemy army, gone, they started to die without being able to properly counterattack.
“aaah!”
“f*ck, we’re screwed!”
I raised my sword upward and shouted.
“Long live Her Majesty Mary! Victory to your Majesty!”
Then they jumped towards the enemy camp and slaughtered those who had not yet surrendered.
One by one, they were screaming and dying, and the enemies gradually began to retreat as I began to advance in earnest.
“Only those who want to die come to me!”
When I shouted, even the knights turned their backs and started running away.
A knight running away from the enemy is a very rare sight.
And at this time, another good news was delivered to our troops.
“The main force led by Matthias is now being pushed back by His Excellency the Marquis of Schweig! It’s a great victory for our troops! “The enemies are finished now!”
The same news began to spread widely through other soldiers of our army.
“Mathias is running away with his tail!”
“Even if you live like a dog, you can’t die like a dog, right? Surrender!”
“Follow Matthias and if you don’t want to be fooled, throw away your weapon!”
After hearing those words, the guys realized that they had no chance of winning any more, so they put down their weapons and surrendered.
In the wave of surrender that had already begun, like dominoes falling, there was no difference between soldiers, knights, and wizards.
“I surrender, please spare my life!”
“We’re not fighting because we want to fight!”
“Ugh, you f*cking surrender!”
When everyone began to surrender, our soldiers dragged those who had surrendered and took them to a corner of the battlefield.
In the meantime, I saw some cool guys running away…
“Don’t chase a guy who drops his weapon and runs away. “I don’t have time for that.”
If you want to live like that, I have to give it to you.
When so many soldiers surrendered, even the commander of this death-defying group surrendered with both hands up.
“I am Count Vincent von Apo. “I will surrender.”
When the count surrendered, the entire group lost the will to resist, and the battle in the main camp ended in an instant.
At this time, a knight came running carrying Matthias’ flag.
“His Excellency the Marquis of Schweig has captured Matthias! “It’s a great victory for our troops!!”
Everyone cheered in unison at those words.
“It’s really over now!!”
that was close call, like when he first awakened his aura
