173 – Blue Lion VS Red Conqueror
#One
“Count. Why don’t you defeat the army and listen to the principality’s request?”
“… … It is already irreversible. Everyone, do your best to prepare for battle.”
desert.
The Earl of Acre chose it as his battlefield.
I knew how hard it was to set up a barracks on an unstable floor.
With every breath he took, the gust of wind blew his nostrils.
My vision blurred, and grit of grit rolled in my mouth, drying my saliva.
In a space where just being alive was painful, countless counts were crouching.
The county’s army totaled 20,000.
All of them, not conscripts, were elite soldiers gathered for the glory of Cheongsa.
Those who went to war to obtain a title of nobility, to gain wealth and honor, or to impress the count.
The Battle of Yeongji will end in just one turn.
If too many sacrifices follow, it will end in a duel between the generals.
Earl of Acre bit his entourage with a stiff face.
“Attack at noon. Inform each unit.”
“… … All right.”
“Infinite Glory to the Blue Lion.”
It was always a word that I shouted out loud, but today it sounds like a word that leads to death.
Everyone should know.
However, the blue lion must bare its teeth and erect its mane in front of any enemy.
that’s the blue lion.
It was a county that guarded the outskirts of the empire.
Since the point of the sword to protect foreign enemies is pointed at the duke of one’s country, is there any situation as ironic as that?
Moreover, the opponent is one of the dukes who support the empire.
The Earl of Acre seriously considered whether this was correct.
“They will be ready.”
“Of course. The church has thoroughly prepared. Even if we can’t win, we will be able to annihilate all the main characters.”
“I want that to be clear. There will be no revenge anyway. If we fail, everyone will be headed for ruin.”
The unfamiliar voice quietly replied that he knew.
The army of the Principality of Caesar was 10,000.
It was a double number.
In rotation, the number of troops was one of the factors that gave them an absolute advantage.
However, the Earl of Acre could not relax for a moment.
Even the superiority of the troops could become useless if a great being appeared.
Caesar Rabes.
The great mage who has reached the highest level in the present age will directly participate in the battlefield.
‘I wonder if I can trust the church.’
It is said that he prepared something comparable to a great mage.
Will you be able to believe it… … .
The Count looked at his sword.
Emilia, the treasured sword that the emperor promised to protect her country.
There was no time to be distressed that the sword had been aimed at a precious pillar of the empire.
“Your Excellency Count! The enemy has arrived!”
“… … All troops, prepare for battle.”
his eyes shone brightly.

The desert wind was unfamiliar to Manus, but familiar.
Perhaps thanks to the fact that he had to fight through the stifling wind to search the ruins, he was able to withstand the desert wind itself.
What he is unfamiliar with is the energy of the battlefield.
I felt the ugly nature hidden in the strange tension.
A crystal of malice that will explode at any time and devour this space, this entire population.
Manus stood with his family and quietly watched the energy of the battlefield.
Tyrannis and Invidea seemed accustomed to this, and seemed unconcerned.
The blue eyes of the two men simply contain the battlefield and examine the size of the enemy.
His sister, Invidea, said to Manus.
“You look nervous.”
“Nothing. Rather than that, I wonder what the church would have brought.”
“You will definitely have to be careful. I’ve already set up a detached unit.”
The eyes of his father, Laves, reached Manus.
A son who refused to study at the academy and came to the battlefield.
It was definitely the lineage of a conqueror, and a sense of pride came flooding in.
However, that and the danger of war were separate.
In a place where even Invidea and Tirannis might have to risk their lives, a student who hadn’t even graduated from the academy was reluctant to come.
So I asked.
What is my son’s intention?
“Son. Why did you have to go to war?”
“I couldn’t leave the church’s work behind.”
“I think it’s just a bunch of messy people, so I’m worried.”
Rabeth said as if nothing happened.
It was a completely different attitude from Manus, and it seemed that the way he encountered this war was just enough to drink the town.
Do you think it’s okay no matter what kind of threat comes?
Well, if there is a strength that can’t be measured in depth and breadth, then Manus himself would be no different.
He decided to believe in his father’s strength.
I wondered what kind of existence it was, and why it was called the continent’s strongest wizard.
Tirannis, who reached Class 6, also felt like a wall to be overcome by Manus.
‘What kind of presence will my father exude in war?’
Beyond the desert, an army of blue lions appeared.
The blue light shining softly on the white armor gave off a sense of intimidation.
The Acre family, famous for their swordsmanship, had great knighthood.
If Caesar had the Mage Tower, Acre had the Order of Knights.
It could be seen as a confrontation between a wizard and a knight, but the war wasn’t just for them.
Laves looked at the enemy army indifferently and said,
“Prepare the magic.”
He spoke as usual, but his voice amplified by mana spread out loud.
Caesar’s sorcerers raised their hands to the sky in unison.
The count family staked all of their interests in the Great Forest of Viltite.
There could have been a situation where they had to pay a tribute of millions of gold every year.
Defeat at Yeongjijeon means the downfall of the family.
The emperor allowed the territory war to take care of Caesar’s interests and figure out the identity of the church.
The beginning of the first Yeongji War in decades has risen.
[Intemperier]
A huge magic circle appeared in the sky.
The knights of the Earl of Acre who discovered it swung the horse’s reins vigorously.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Judgment that before the magic circle is activated, it should reach Caesar’s formation and create a hassle.
Powered by mana, the electric horse was faster than expected, and its power was also enormous.
The troops of the count family ran at high speed even stepping on the sand of the desert.
Laves looked at the magic circle for a while and then awakened Mana.
I didn’t want to step out, but the enemy’s level was a little better than I thought.
‘What is this… … .’
Kurrr-.
I just woke up mana, but it felt like the heavens and the earth were raised together.
All the hairs of Manus right next to him stood up.
Caesar Labes, the father with a calm expression, created another huge magic circle in the air.
A magic circle similar in size to the magic that other wizards use in unison.
Even making it single-handedly was amazing, and the speed was also remarkably fast.
Overwhelming mana, enough to make the count’s knights feel hesitant.
“It was a little surprising.”
It’s to the extent that it makes me use magic one more time.
It took an instant for Labeth’s magic to be completed.
Manus opened his eyes and saw the scene.
At this point, only 10 people on the continent had reached the stage that was visible.
Even [Caesar’s attitude], which can understand all magical knowledge, could not contain vast and complex knowledge at once.
A magic that was so great that it would be recorded in the human history books was completed.
The power to show why Caesar did not intervene in the original work and why the character Manus was used and discarded.
Manus just watched.
I shut my mouth and saw a miracle.
No, it’s a disaster for the enemies.
[Cities]
7th class, fire magic.
A waterfall of fire pouring down from a huge magic circle rushed across the desert.
The river of flame that swallowed the knights of the count family flowed and created a huge puddle.
Even if nature punished it, it would not be able to take away life so easily.
Overwhelming heat enough to cool the hot sun.
Seeing the sight for the first time in his life, Manus was at a loss for words.
Cities.
It was a 7th class magic he knew too.
‘Is it like this in reality?’
It was a different feeling from seeing it as a game effect.
The Count’s knights, who were running at the forefront, evaporated at once.
The pride of the Acre family, which has disappeared without a body.
Labeth had a calm expression even though he used tremendous magic.
He crossed his arms nonchalantly and spoke again.
Caesar’s attack was not yet over.
“Put out the fire with magic.”
Shaaa-.
The magic is complete.
It was magic practiced by those who had only eaten and studied magic in the Mage Tower.
If the firepower isn’t great, then it’s even weirder.
It rained ice.
A wide-area debuff magic that suppresses the enemy’s mobility and rusts their armor.
In war, mobility was vitality.
The armor, which had been shining silver, was stained pure white.
On top of that, it corroded in an instant.
“Go forward.”
Rabeth’s command fell.
Now was the time of the slaughter.
Since the enemy’s defense and mobility have been lowered, this tactic crushes them all at once with overwhelming attack power.
It was Caesar’s sure-to-win strategy, and it was also a tactic he had never defeated before.
aaa!!
Caesar’s shouts covered the desert.
Stepping on the frozen ground that turned into lava and moving forward.
I took my spear and sword and headed forward.
“Get in line! Don’t lose your strength and move!”
“Hold the spear upright! Prepare to charge at once!”
“Control your excitement! Don’t break ranks!”
Caesar also had an order of knights, and their majesty was no less than that of the Counts of Acre.
The knights wearing red cloaks and black armor clearly demonstrated the majesty of conquerors.
Wizards who rode horses together and started casting.
Unlike general wizards who look upward in their own realm, those who belong to the Knights and train only one type of magic.
Their mission is only one.
To assist the knights in their assault and to protect them from enemy attacks.
A collaboration between magic and knights presented by those who have been in harmony for many years.
Calling a hazy gale, his huge body engulfed the soldiers of the Earl of Acre.
“All troops, advance.”
Laves’ conducting was neat and tidy.
Is it that even the elite soldiers of the count family who protect the frontier are helpless in front of Caesar’s army with terrifying magic added?
No, it won’t.
I’m sure you can prepare it over there.
You should look impatient.
Pretending to end the war quickly, revealing your weaknesses and letting the enemy draw your hand.
The strongest hand Laves had was neither the Wizards nor the Knights.
He said to his children by his side.
“Get ready.”
“yes. Lord.”
The voices of the two overlapped.
Caesar’s strongest hand.
Tyrannis and Invidea began to move.
Powerful enough to crush the enemy no matter what.
Caesar certainly had those things.
together.

The time has come for Manus to move.
