The army of Sabah Solstad, who attacked the center, couldn’t help but struggle.
The advance led by the elite warriors of the Solstad family was like an unstoppable bull.
Quaang-!
Due to the sword attack of the top powers, the shield soldiers of the Cheongjukdae were pushed back.
In the meantime, the allied forces broke through the square and attacked.
This was slow, but it definitely cut through the power of Cheongjukdae.
The direction of the SS was for other units to attack while they blocked it, but… … .
The allied forces did not forcefully advance, and they were handling the attacks of the elite force quite reliably.
Caan-!
Felix, the captain of the green bamboo band, received Sabah’s sword with a hard face.
The elites of the unit were blocking the advance of the allied forces’ top forces.
To put it bluntly, there was little chance of winning.
It was at a level where it was somehow able to endure with the support of the desperate squad that flew in from time to time… … .
‘… … You don’t have to win, because you just have to hold on to these guys as your Highness instructed.’
The Royal Guard also selected and gathered strong people from the kingdom, but they were not up to the elite of the great families.
Various methods were used to compensate for this.
One of them was the flexible operation of the elite escorts.
Just like how the previous Black Road helped the Phantom Troupe, it was to overcome an unfavorable situation with a temporary addition.
‘We have to hold these guys until Your Highness arrives at the Blue Lion and the Royal Palace Knights.’
That’s why, even though Cheongjukdae was being pushed back, morale was not so low.
Because their purpose was to hold out until Black Road joined the Blue Lion and the Royal Palace Knights.
“That’s enough.”
These were the words of Saba, who was exchanging swords with Felix.
At this, Felix felt doubt and frowned.
Saba continued talking without hesitation.
“Since we have taken positions, let’s march as planned.”
Kwaaang-!
Simultaneously with Sabah’s instructions, allied soldiers unleashed their strength.
There was an explosion, and Felix realized what its purpose was.
‘Was the purpose of preventing the SS from joining the right side from the beginning… … !’
The purpose of the enemy was to slowly press and drive the green bamboo to the outside, then spread the square.
If this was the case, it seemed that even if the Phantom Band joined them, it would not be easy to break through them.
“Only the men necessary to maintain the army formation will remain and move to the right.”
The moment when Sabah and the upper powers are about to move.
Caan-!
The sword strike following Felix’s bold rush reached Sabah.
As if following him, the elites of the Cheongjukdae also rushed at the allied forces.
It showed a strong will that at least they could not be sent.
“I haven’t seen the match yet, so where are you planning to go? Sava Solstad.”
“Kuh-kuh, since I’m going to go, are you trying to deal with me properly? It’s like looking at a fickle woman.”
Kagagak, bang!
The shock was applied with a short sword strike, but Felix did not fall.
After a brief thought, Saba opened her mouth.
“The minimum number of people to deal with these guys remains. The rest of you, move on.”
“Yes, Mr. Saba.”
The movement of the allied forces in the center was recognized by the kingdom army on the right.
That’s why we had to divide our forces to respond to this, but… … .
Squeak-!
Brood’s sword attack cut the three soldiers of the kingdom in an instant.
In response, the Blue Lion and the Royal Palace Knights hurriedly stepped forward, but even they were helpless.
“Cuck!”
“Don’t overdo it! He’s an 8 star! Focus on defense… … .”
Fu-wook!
The commanding officer’s neck was pierced.
It was pierced by the memorization thrown by Brood.
In this way, the soldiers rushing from all sides to stop him were reversed.
“Do the worms dare to stop me? know the subject.”
“You bastard—!”
Caang!
To prevent this, one of the captains of the blue lion, Lucas Nervik, rushed.
But the sword was blocked by Yorgil family’s forces.
It wasn’t just Lucas.
All attacks from the Blue Lion and the Royal Palace Knights, including him, were being blocked.
“To beat Brood-sama, you will have to defeat us first.”
“Kuh… … !”
Chaeeng!
It was the top forces of the allied forces that stopped them.
Half of them blocked the Blue Lion and the Royal Palace Knights, and the remaining half supported the Brood.
‘Forcing yourself to endure is gradually reaching its limit… … ! If this happens, the military formation will collapse in an instant!’
The Blue Lion and the Royal Palace Knights were blocking the enemy’s advance by consuming their magic and weapons.
That’s why even if the troops were pushed back, it wasn’t that much yet.
But if they fall like this, the army’s collapse will really get out of hand.
‘The SS was also blocked by the enemy’s Central Army. It’s hard to hope for support over there. The top power is the same, but… … .’
The highest strength of the Allies was at least 200 men.
Of course, it was inevitable for those who barely exceeded half of that.
While Lucas and other captains of Cheongsa were thinking about this.
“The decisive battle, Chang Gak-gwang.”
“… … !”
Suddenly Brood’s voice was heard.
At the same time, Lucas disappeared from sight.
“My target has been you guys from the start.”
Brood appeared from the front out of nowhere and cast a stab.
Quad Deuk-!
The sword, which was struck in a straight line, bent strangely.
It reminded me of sharp horns that stretched randomly.

Lucas, who quickly released speculation, was barely able to defend the vital points.
“Cheuk… … !”
However, blood flowed from the shoulders and flanks that could not be stopped.
Quaang-!
Brood kicked Lucas absentmindedly.
“Thanks to my soldiers, I have confirmed all of your levels and characteristics. I’ll finish it soon.”
Those were the words spoken to the blue lions and the captains of the royal palace knights.
It was Brood’s original goal to make them fretful and then deal with them with a sudden surprise attack.
“Time is running out, but the sooner you go, the more you have to go back.”
The other captains bit their lips at this.
From the blocking of the center to the current judgment, everything seemed reckless, but I was surprised that it was a calculated action.
“Then you guys are next… … .”
“… … Mr. Brood!”
Pod!
Among the soldiers of the kingdom, a person wearing black armor jumped out.
It was so fast that I couldn’t get a good look at it.
To stop this, two of Yorgil’s assassins came out.
“To charge alone is reckless… … ?”
The heads of the two assassins rolled on the ground.
I was hit in an instant by Leah who jumped out.
Without stopping, she rushed at Brood.
Caan-!
Taking her blow from the front, Brood raised the corners of his mouth and said.
“You are Leia Onstad, the strongest assassin in the kingdom!”
“You are not wrong.”
Booung!
From nob le mt l dot com
Leia lightly dodged his kick to increase the distance.
Brood then looked at the two dead assassins for a moment and said admiringly.
“It’s amazing, both of them were 7 stars, but I cut them down with a single sword.”
“I was surprised, too, that members of the High School of Assassination were so weak.”
“Kuh-kuh, scratching people’s insides is like the 2nd prince.”
“I guess I’ve been quite annoying, brood Yorgil.”
jerk, jerk.
As if the enemy in front of me didn’t matter, I appeared relatively leisurely.
As a result, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed.
The kingdom army was enveloped in a strange sense of exhilaration, and the allied forces quietly held their breath.
“But is it true? Why is Yorgil inferior to Ronberg and Solstad?”
“… … It looks like I’m not afraid. At this distance, it would take me less than five seconds to drive a knife through your throat.”
Brood’s words were not bluffing.
It was quite a distance, but it was a distance that a strong man like him could narrow at once if he put his mind to it.
But I laughed at him and replied.
“Then try it.”
Brood stared at me with a mixture of anger and coolness in his eyes.
It was a reaction that came because there were only a few black furnaces around me.
“I heard that your escort is a hundred, but where are they all… … .”
Quaang-!
An unexpected roar came from all directions.
Brood turned his gaze away without even realizing it.
Realizing the situation, he gritted his teeth.
“… … You have escorts posted all over the place.”
“Yes, I used it to encircle you with only a minimum of troops left.”
Before arriving here, I instructed the black roads to settle in the place I designated.
It was sent in advance to a place where our military could be pushed.
This naturally became a form of encirclement of the allied forces.
It was a decision made because there could be a variable in the plan if there was a place like this place that was greatly pushed back in battle.
“… … That would give the battle an advantage, but it would put you in danger.”
“Then you can target me.”
Quaang!
As if in response, Brood stepped on the advance.
From nob le mt l dot com
Leia blocked it, which became a signal to attack.
Both the Allied Forces and the Kingdom Army began fighting fiercely, but the flow was different from before.
It was because he poured all his energy without thinking about the future.
‘He’s conscious of me.’
It seemed like they were fighting each other like crazy, but the Allies clearly had room to spare.
It was only natural that they had the upper hand in their skills in the first place.
Even so, the reason why he didn’t rush at me was because he was aiming for me.
If you’re sure, you’re going to hit my neck with a forced breakthrough.
coo-!
From nob le mt l dot com
Leah’s body was pushed back by Brood’s blow.
As if waiting for that gap, other Allied soldiers stopped her.
“Now, deployment!”
At Brood’s cry, allied soldiers spread out in all directions rushed.
The movements of the elites, approaching twenty, were very sharp.
It was to the extent that the Kingdom Army, who had been concentrating on fighting, missed them.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
Brood, who was at the forefront, released all his strength.
In his magical power, I could feel the sincerity that he did not show even when dealing with Leia.
“Die, 2 princes—!”
Pod!
Brood, who had accelerated to the point of disappearing from my sight, used decisive battle as it was.
Quaang-!
From nob le mt l dot com
Lahos’ fighting spirit was blocked by the sword attack.
Surprised by that strength, Brood’s eyes widened, but quickly erased the agitation.
“I will catch this guy! Everyone, aim for the 2 princes!”
Following his instructions, the 20 elites rushed without hesitation.
Eight or so black robes stopped them, but they were outnumbered and couldn’t stop them all.
“It’s over, King 2… … !?”
Their movements stopped all at once.
It was tied to the telekinesis I had activated.
In response, they struggled with all their might, but could not solve it.
“What… … !?”
rumble.
It became a gap enough to encroach on those who approached.
The magic of darkness and indigo swallowed them as they were.
“… … !”
Kwajik!
I broke their necks with my telekinesis.
I couldn’t beat anyone other than the four who dug deep, but that was enough.
Pod!
The elites of the Allied Forces who rushed at me all at once threw their bodies back.
It was the same with Brood, but his eyes were full of astonishment.
“You underestimated me, Brood Yorgil.”
“Two princes… … !”
“I am pretty strong. I even killed Boris Romberg when I was 6-star.”
Having reached 7 stars, I had already surpassed the level of my previous life.
They were also quite strong, but it was not difficult to kill a 7-star lower class who rushed defenselessly.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just attack? There is no other way for you to win now.”
“… … Kut!”
Pod!
The elites of the Allied Forces started running again.
I was conscious of myself and paid attention to the approach, but no meaningful results were obtained.
“I will join you, Your Highness.”
Even Leah, who was behind them, joined them.
In other words, it was safe to say that their odds were now gone.
“… … I want to ask you one thing.”
Brood, who was continuing the attack, opened his mouth as if he had given up somewhere.
As a result, the black roads also stopped attacking for a while.
“Is the reason why you only brought a few escorts to induce this situation?”
“Yes, because you are excellent.”
All I could be sure of was that the Allies had to break through at least by force.
After that, depending on how the enemy came out, there was a possibility that our army would be pushed back.
“That’s why I induced you guys by showing loopholes on purpose.”
“The reason I chose this place as my main attacker was because of your enticing.”
If I hadn’t left with a small escort, the Brood would have chosen a different tactic.
I could have spread the elites, dug into the center, or used a third move.
Then the damage on this side would have increased.
“Don’t be discouraged, it’s because you’re excellent.”
“… … Heh, I haven’t lost yet.”
clap.
Allied forces, including Brood, raised their swords again.
The moment when Blackdo tries to respond again.
Woo woo woo-
The sound of the horn that Rien’s reinforcements had arrived echoed across the battlefield.
* * *
Deep underground, full of coolness.
There were two Erlonberg and Carl Ronberg.
She muttered quietly, holding the fan in her hand.
“I see, the kingdom has struck the allied forces of Solstad and Yorgil… … .”
Erl’s expression was very calm as he quietly chanted.
Hearing the news of the kingdom’s sudden attack and Henrik’s demise, she should have been taken aback, but she didn’t.
“It’s a bit early, but the kingdom moved first, as the family head expected.”
“Yes, I was a little surprised that he boldly abandoned Henrik… … .”
It was a possible prediction because it was Karl Ronberg, who had interacted with Cruz relatively often.
2 Obey the prince’s request and look around the kingdom.
It was a conclusion he came to after analyzing and understanding Cruz’s words and actions in his own way.
“I am well aware of the patriarch’s insight and prudence, but it seems to work particularly well for the second prince.”
“… … .”
All of Cruz’s actions lead to checks and hostility from the giant family.
It was only Carl Ronberg who inferred and understood this.
No one, including Erl, could see through Cruz’s true intentions… … .
It was because of the male tendencies that remained in Carl Ronberg’s memory.
I didn’t have to put it in my mouth.
“On that day, the decision to send the 2 princes without capturing the divine beast was correct.”
“Yes, thanks to that, the kingdom moved the charter in a favorable direction for our family.”
“I’ll have to retrieve the Shinsoo someday… … 2 I knew that the prince was there, so there should be no problem.”
percussion.
When they reached the end of the basement, their footsteps stopped.
Beyond it stretched a vast expanse, as if facing endless darkness.
―――――.
There was something in it.
It didn’t show any signs, but it still had an overwhelming presence.
“I must hope the kingdom cuts Solstad and Yorgil’s strength well.”
“There will be no problem. If the kingdom does its best, neither the two families will be safe.”
“That would make it easier to destroy both places. The power of the evil spirit will also be recovered.”
Gee-
Erl radiated magical power.
Then a very bright light arose from something huge beyond the darkness.
It felt like receiving something sacred.
“You just have to accept it a few more times in the future.”
“… … .”
Tuck, Tuck.
Carl walked inside without saying a word.
Then its form was revealed.
Inside were huge bundles of tentacles reminiscent of vertebrae.
The shape was enough to make me feel visceral fear, but Carl just looked at it indifferently, as if he was used to it.
“With the power of Hastur, I will become the sole ruler, the head of household.”
“… … Yes, Mother.”
