“Are you okay? Mr. Phrexia.”
“Yes, no problem.”
It was Praxia who answered calmly, but Hella easily noticed that it was a bluff.
I was barely breathing while consuming a lot of mana.
Helena was no exception to this.
‘I didn’t expect to be tied up like this… … .’
After being surrounded, the battle continued until now, but the situation was not resolved.
There were some excellent bishops, but the biggest cause was that man.
Caan-!
A sharp metallic sound rang out.
Although the face of Silberted, who swung the sword, was very unconcerned.
Receiving this, Leah’s complexion hardened.
“You’re stronger than I’ve heard, Captain of the Amchungdae.”
“… … Did you hear from Bernant?”
“okay. Seriously, it looks like I can kill it with full force. It’s just troublesome.”
There were several opportunities to kill the bishops during the battle.
But I haven’t been able to reduce the number until now.
It was because Sylvetted appeared every time and interfered.

Leia is dealing with him, but Sylvetted has a lot of leeway.
‘It’s dangerous if it takes longer than this.’
It was because of Cruz, who was facing the Resurrection Church’s troops.
It seems like I’m still holding on somehow.
If the battle was prolonged, something irreversible could have happened.
It just had to be stopped.
“Prixia-sama, I will make a gap, so please go to me.”
That’s why it was a suggestion.
In this situation, Leah and Hela would be in danger if Phrexia were to fall out, but Crus’ escort was the top priority.
“… … Yes, I understand.”
Frexia also quickly agreed.
the moment you want to move.
Woo woo woo woo-
The sudden sound of the horn also reached Leah and the others.
Although Praxia did not know what it was.
Hela and Leah knew what this meant.
‘Cheongsaja… … !’
The biggest surprise was Sylvetted.
He, who had always been relaxed, was uncommonly agitated.
From nob le mt l dot com
Leah held her breath as she watched Sylvetted.
“… … You are the real reinforcements of the kingdom.”
There was a hint of frustration mixed in in his voice.
Even so, there were executives including Havchen behind them.
At present, there were not many troops left to escort them.
If, in this state, they encounter the kingdom’s reinforcements, they will be in great danger.
“The entire army retreats.”
“Are you all right?”
“The safety of the rearguard is more important than the performance here… … .”
“Kingdom army, aim for Silverted!”
It was Cruz who let out a shout that seemed to intrude on their conversation.
Silverted frowned at this.
It was because he knew that this order was given after seeing through the current situation of the Resurrection Church and himself.
“ha ha ha! That’s great, 2nd Prince.”
If you get stuck here, the rearguard of the regeneration bridge will be in danger.
If Silverted’s body was in perfect condition, it wouldn’t have been a problem… … .
Currently, he was in a physical condition that could not fight for a long time.
After this battle, it is time to recover the body by borrowing the power of the sacrifice.
This instruction from Cruz could be called the worst.
Kaaang!
From nob le mt l dot com
Like Sylvetted, Leia, who noticed the intention of Cruz’s instructions, quickly rushed forward.
‘This man must be killed here.’
It was a conclusion that Leah had come to by mixing hands.
Considering his position and skills at the Rehabilitation Church, there was no golden opportunity like now.
coo coo coo-
That’s why I released the power I had been saving until now.
I had been stocking up on him in case he made a move on Cruz along the way, but I didn’t have to.
“I was pretty underestimated, too.”
That fact was enough to excite Sylvetted.
“Everyone, retreat while I buy time.”
“Archbishop, that… … .”
“Don’t worry, I don’t intend to die here either.”
Keying.
The sword he held up cried ferociously.
There was an indescribable, heinous murder.
“I’ll show them my power and go back.”
* * *
At the point when Cheongsaja came to support, I had two options.
Are you aiming for the members of the Resurrection Church or for the main character?
It was a possible option because the Blue Lion Knights were able to block the command of the monsters by targeting their rearguard.
‘As long as it’s not a monster, the main army from the rear can join right away.’
There, I chose to aim for the main character.
Although reinforcements came, only a part of the Blue Lion Knights came, so it was impossible to aim for the annihilation of the enemies.
But with Sylvetted, it was possible.
No matter how strong he was, if there were troops from the main army to join him from the rear, he could be dealt with.
I even had the aftereffects of not being able to fight for a long time… … .
If they retreated without dealing with them, they would have to hit the retreating troops.
“I couldn’t kill Sylvetted because of my inadequacies. I have nothing to say.”
But this failed.
The Resurrection Church actually retreated, leaving only the bare minimum of soldiers.
This soon led to the fierce pursuit of the kingdom army.
The entire army, led by Leah and Hela, attacked, but rather this side was defeated.
The soldiers who rushed at the flying sword as if they were possessed were cut in two at once.
In the end, only those who could be called the elite attacked, and the flow of support for the rest continued.
“How could this be the fault of the captain of the Amcheongdae?”
“you’re right. Rather, it was a fight that was established because of Lord Leah and the tower owner.”
What the commanders said was true.
Because these two were there, it was at least a situation where the numerical superiority was used to press.
“What’s even more shocking is that I could feel that Silberted wasn’t perfect.”
“Isn’t that about the same level as the leader of the knights of the Blue Lion…? … .”
“More than that.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Leah’s assertion caught the attention of the commanders.
She continued as if she didn’t care.
“If you look at pure skill alone, you could say it’s a clear advantage.”
There was a heavy silence for a while.
It was a missed opportunity to kill such a person… … .
Not being able to kill the greatest strength and mental support within the Resurrection Church was a painful loss.
“I think a little differently.”
The commanders’ eyes were focused on my words.
“I couldn’t kill him, but the achievements I made are good enough.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Looking back on the last battle, Sylvetted showed an excessive amount of saving his power.
Even when Leah and I were separated, I didn’t use my power.
Even the bishops who followed him were concerned about Sylvetted fighting seriously.
“This means that you have a problem other than simply not being able to fight for long.”
“… … Certainly, I have heard of such cases.”
“Once you turn on the power, you can think of something like being sick for a while.”
“yes. Besides, I’ve confirmed that the information I got from Tordain is true.”
The stimulants used by the Resurrection Church were mass-produced artifacts containing the power of evil spirits.
The main body was carried by Sylvetted.
He fought while restoring his magic with it.
I don’t know if it’s because my body isn’t normal, or if it’s just like that, but I couldn’t handle that power properly.
“So let’s just relax and start reorganizing.”
Currently, the kingdom army has succeeded in retreating to the main base.
The forces of the Resurrection Church, once withdrawn, did not appear until the end.
The river demons that were chasing them also stopped pursuing them on the way, so they were able to retreat relatively easily.
As soon as he came here, he expressed his regret for missing Sylvetted.
“… … You are right.”
Habram, affirming my words, suddenly knelt down.
It was the same with other commanders.
I looked down at them in bewilderment.
“Why are you here?”
“Please forgive our incompetence, my lord.”
“Because of our complacency, we drove not only the Kingdom Army, but also the two lower ranks to death.”
“I will gladly accept any punishment.”
They were saying that it was their fault that they were in danger in this battle.
If, as I said before the battle, I would take the risk of narrowing the frontlines and gather more troops.
I wouldn’t have been in the same danger as this time.
“Armors are like that too. If we hadn’t brought it with us according to our judgment, it would have been difficult to safely retreat.”
“I don’t know what to say about the sin of belittling the enemy because it’s enough even if you don’t use it.”
At this, I let out a small sigh and forced the kneeling Habram to stand up.
“It was an understandable enough decision for everyone to stand up and hold the line. In the end, the armory followed my words.”
“but… … .”
“Also, their strength far exceeded our expectations.”
“Nevertheless, the fact that the kingdom’s army escaped from limb with the life of the servant as collateral does not change.”
“I did not come here to be protected by you. I came out to lead the kingdom to victory.”
“… … Yes, lower.”
After seeing everyone stand up like that, I calmly opened my mouth.
“With today’s battle, everyone must have keenly felt that the Resurrection Church is formidable.”
In the first place, they were the ones who had been fighting the giant families of the Feyer continent.
The experience and power that came from it was never something to belittle.
“It has gone through a crisis of destruction and its power is not the same as before, but it is still at that level.”
I’ve said something like this before.
The atmosphere was quite different from then.
It was a reaction that came from directly facing their danger and power.
“Learned from today’s events, we will have to become even stronger.”
“I’ll keep that in mind, low.”
A few days later, another group of troops from the kingdom arrived at the base.
All but the bare minimum of troops to hold each line had gathered here.
As a result, 50,000 troops were gathered at the main camp.
“You look pretty good wearing armor, Cruz.”
“You are here, Captain.”
The one who spoke to me was Kielus Alexander, the commander of the Blue Lion Knights and maternal grandfather.
The reinforcements that arrived the other day were an advance party led by several captains of Cheongsaja.
It was this time that he joined the main army.
“I have heard of your performance. It was all unbelievable.”
“Isn’t everything I’ve done so far like that?”
“ha ha ha! That’s right.”
Kielus, who lightly tapped my shoulder, continued without hiding his amazement.
“The change in the Royal Palace Knights was amazing. The discipline is tight.”
“From your point of view, Captain, have you not been enough?”
“Rather than that, it should be seen as complacency. There was an atmosphere where no opponent was considered dangerous.”
I nodded and agreed with that assessment.
It’s not corrupt, but I felt like a bureaucrat who lacked a sense of crisis.
The blue lion knew about it because he regularly interacted with the Royal Knights.
“It was really impressive that the main army corrected the atmosphere of the additional units that joined.”
“I should have joined in and watched.”
“The entire main army seemed to be praising and loyal to you, as if they were watching the Knights under your command.”
“That means I was great.”
“Don’t deny it. The enemy must have been as strong as that.”
I nodded slightly at the words of Kielus, who became a little more serious.
“I heard that one of them named Silver Ted was stronger than me. What do you think?”
“I think so too.”
“Is that so? I look forward to that.”
I felt quite a sense of goodwill from the small smile of Kielus.
It wasn’t the face of the leader of the knights.
It was the appearance of a warrior waiting for an opponent to do his best.
“I want to leave Isabella in command and have a fight.”
“It would be best to kill him without a chance.”
“hahahaha, that’s right.”
Swoop.
After speaking, Kielus handed over a sealed letter in his arms.
“Morgan asked me to pass it on to you.”
“Your brother?”
Before coming here, Kielus had stopped by the palace to meet the queen.
This letter was received at that time.
“It must be important because it uses me as an errand boy.”
“… … Let’s check it out.”
The letter contained the contents of Morgan’s pulling out as much of Thordain’s faint residual memories as possible.
One of them was the memory of the place.
Tordain said that he had been underground and had come out quite a few times.
The place where I came out using this passage was the battlefield where I had my first fight.
I thought this was not information to pass by.
“Captain, could you lend me someone?”
