Chapter 119 Claubice’s Sword (1)
“It really is a beautiful castle no matter what you see.”
Valentiano, who is in charge of the academy’s general command, looked at the castle built on the river island.
Right now, the academy was preparing to attack Schreyer’s nature.
“Professor Yoles, isn’t it really an artistic castle?”
“Yes, it looks like a painting.”
Yoles, who was next to him, nodded.
“I don’t know much about architecture or art, but it is a really beautiful castle.”
“Hey, what does that mean? He’s a troublesome adult to attack.”
It was Ferdinand who snorted and grumbled.
“Since it is built in the middle of a river, the river water acts as a natural moat. The defenses of the castle itself are extremely solid, and they say it has never been captured.”
“Then we just need to capture it this time.”
Valentiano said in a serious voice.
“Isn’t the reason why it hasn’t been captured in the meantime because it’s never been attacked so extensively?”
“What is that… … .”
“Currently, we should be able to attack with all our strength.”
Saying that, Valentiano turned his head.
“Don’t you think so, Professor Angela?”
In the direction Valettiano was looking at, Angela, who had gone to look around, was walking.
“well. Looking at the castle itself, we should be able to attack it alone. Because there are four advisors from the academy.”
“yes.”
Valentiano, Ferdinand, Angela, Yoles.
All of the advisors currently remaining at the academy were present.
It was definitely unusual to have four top graduates present.
“but… I don’t know what to do with Claubice.”
“Clauvice?”
Valentiano tilted his head.
“Professor Angela, is Claubice that great?”
“Since he rarely goes out on his own, you probably have no idea how good Claubice is.”
Angela is from the South.
He also had a lot of connections with the Schreier family.
“It’s my personal opinion… None of us will lose in a head-to-head match with Claubice.”
“hmm? is it?”
“But Claubice is a graduate who can fight against all of us. That would be quite the edge.”
“No, what are you talking about again?”
said Valentiano as if it were absurd.
“You mean one can win, but four can’t? that’s too… … .”
“Professors, wait a minute.”
Then Yoles spoke in an urgent voice.
“It seems that the Klauvice has appeared.”
“… … !”
Everyone looked at the castle in unison.
As Yoles said, a long-haired man with golden hair appeared on the wall.
“Are you trying to inspect our camp yourself?”
“Hmm, I don’t know what you’re trying to say to us.”
“It’s so far away that even if you enhance your eyesight with magical powers, you won’t be able to see its expression.”
Valentiano, Ferdinand, and Yoles were talking, and Angela, who was next to her, frowned.
“It looks like you made a mistake.”
“Professor Angela, what are you talking about?”
“Originally, this wasn’t the scope of Claubice’s attack.”
Angela looked around.
Right now, in front of Schreier’s main castle, swordsmen from the academy were waiting in formation.
“however… Claubice seems to have grown more than I knew.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“… … !”
right after that.
A sword flew from the top of the wall and stuck in the middle of the allied formation, causing a huge explosion.
* * *
coo kung!
An explosion occurred with a roar.
It’s not an ordinary explosion. It was an explosion that scattered fragments in all directions as the enchanted sword exploded.
Seeing the academy’s swordsmen fall down covered in blood, Claubice opened her mouth.
“next.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Luclecia, who was by her side, handed the sword to Claubice.
At first glance, it was a flimsy sword that looked like a defective product.
However, this is a sword specially made by Claubice.
If this flimsy-looking sword gets into Claubice’s hands… It becomes the most fearsome ranged weapon in the world.
“… … .”
Claubice positioned herself as if she were about to stab.
Then, as he stretched his arms out into the air, the sword escaped from Claubice’s hand and was ejected.
The sword flew straight through the sky and landed among the academy swordsmen on the other side of the river.
“It’s wonderful, my lord.”
cooong!
There was no need to hit the enemy directly with the sword.
This is because the magically enchanted blade explodes in all directions and attacks surrounding enemies.
Those below the rank of graduates who cannot use self-defense equipment will die on the spot.
“next.”
“Yes, my lord.”
When I received the next sword from Luclesia.
The swordsmen of the academy began to move urgently.
didn’t back down. Rather, it was running toward the castle.
It seemed that they thought it would be better to start the siege right away.
“Stupid things.”
There were graduates who came out ahead of others.
Judging by their movements, they seemed to be Yols Kalesius and Angela Vertinski.
If Claubice threw a sword, he might be trying to counter it, but he raised his head and looked this way.
“Do you think you’ll be able to stand up to my Schreier’s non-sword swordsmanship?”
Claubice reached out to the side.
Then the prepared swords rose into the sky by themselves.
Without even touching it directly, Claubice ejected four swords at the same time.
“You are cheeky.”
Cuckoo coo!
I saw Yoles and Angela wincing, caught in the explosion.
It’s difficult to kill them instantly because they’re both top grade graduates, but… Claubice was confident in stopping them.
“Lucletia, tell them to start attacking on this side as well.”
“Yes, I will deliver the family head’s order.”
So far, the Schreier family has repeatedly lost against the academy, but there are still many troops left.
With Claubice on the battlefield, there can be no defeat.
“I said there were four top-notch professors.”
Claubice snorted.
“What’s the use of all that? It means nothing if the sword doesn’t reach.”
A bombardment of Schreier’s non-attack swordsmanship pouring down from the impregnable nature of Schreier.
No matter how raw meat is, even if it’s the climax of Graduate… It will be difficult to break through this.
* * *
“Kuh… … !”
“Professor Yoles!”
Seeing Yoles caught in the explosion, Valentiano raised his voice.
“Are you okay?!”
“Don’t worry. I wasn’t seriously hurt.”
Yols replied, bleeding from his forehead.
It’s a shame because he’s defending with self-defense, if he didn’t care, he would have died instantly in one blow.
“Schreier’s non-sword swordsmanship… I didn’t expect it to be this powerful.”
“Damn it, as Professor Angela said, you have the upper hand against all four of us at the same time.”
Valentiano and Yoles knew what style of swordsman Claubice was.
But I never imagined it would be this overwhelming.
“Professor Angela, can you break through?”
“well.”
Angela replied, blocking the sword flying this way.
“It’s more threatening than I knew, so it seems a bit difficult.”
“Kuh… … .”
Of all the professors here, it was Angela who had the most advanced ceremonial skills.
If it is difficult for Angela to break through, it means that it is difficult for anyone to break through.
“I’ve been through many sieges so far, but this time is different… … .”
In the meantime, the academy has won a series of victories with the best graduates at the forefront.
No matter how great the fortress was, if Yoles or Angela jumped up, it could be captured.
But now, a powerful being called Claubice was blocking such tactics.
“Why didn’t Claubice come forward until now? If you’ve been on the battlefield from the beginning… … .”
“It’s because he doesn’t like to go out on his own. He’s the type to lock himself in a safe place until the last moment.”
Angela said with a bitter expression.
“He’s a person who only cares about his own well-being.”
“That’s awful… … .”
“Still, the fact that Claubice came out on its own means that it was cornered to that extent. so… Ugh!”
Cuckoo!
Claubice’s attacks began to intensify.
It seemed that he was flying a different type of sword than before.
“The power has become stronger… … !”
Valentiano groaned and swung his sword.
If you can’t deal with the flying sword enough, your allies will suffer great damage, so the graduate professors had to deal with it as much as possible.
“Just sticking under the walls will make things much better! If you don’t care, you can break down the castle wall, so Claubice won’t be able to attack indiscriminately like now… … !”
“However, going all the way to the bottom of the castle walls is too difficult! Keugh… … !”
thud! coo kung! Quaang!
When everyone was moaning from the continuous bombing.
I heard the voice of Ferdinand, who was moving a little away.
“Everyone be careful! Make the self-defense as thick as possible!”
Ferdinand hurriedly shouted.
“Clauvice has brought out a new sword!”
“… … !”
At that, everyone looked at Claubice again.
Since the distance was closer than before, I could see what kind of sword Claubice was holding.
that black… It was a brilliant silvery white sword.
“It is a sword made of true silver! He’s trying to use swordsmanship!”
“… … !”
Dig!
A silvery-white sword was ejected while making a different sound than before.
Instead of flying in a straight line and causing an explosion like before, it flew in a complex trajectory and pierced the allies.
“Ugh!”
“Ah… … !”
A silvery-white shining sword roamed the battlefield, knocking down the swordsmen of the academy.
Among the professors here, there are professors who can use swordsmanship, but none can freely slaughter enemies from such a long distance.
“Yoles!”
“I will stop… Ugh!”
cooong!
An additional flying sword caused a huge explosion.
“Damn it, this bastard, Claubice, is throwing a one-time use even with an extremely expensive graduate sword… Gagging!”
“Professor Ferdinand!”
The damage from the long-distance attacks that Clauvice continued to pour was increasing.
furthermore… … .
“Swordsmen are pouring out of the castle!”
“… … !”
To make matters worse, the castle gates opened and the troops of the Schreier family began pouring out.
Since they were swordsmen who guarded Schreier’s true nature, they must be more elite than the enemies they’ve dealt with so far.
It won’t be easy to deal with them while blocking Claubice’s ranged attacks.
“Kuh, if that’s the case, we’ll retreat for now… … .”
When Valentiano was contemplating a retreat.
This time, shouts were heard from behind.
“no way… … !”
Maybe they sent out some of the troops in advance and hid them before the academy’s troops arrived.
The Schreyer family’s troops were also rushing in from the rear.
This makes retreat impossible.
“How could this happen… … !”
Since marching into the South, the academy has been on a roll.
But today, they are suddenly in danger of annihilation.
This is the power of the Schreier family… No, is it the potential of Claubice Schreier?
“To think that just by going to the battlefield, Claubice has changed so much… … !”
I looked down on Claubice too much.
While bitterly regretting that fact, Valentiano was biting his lip.
A tremendous roar rang out from somewhere.
Did Claubice’s attack deal massive damage to allies again?
“Where are you?!”
However, the sound came from the front.
To be precise, it was inside Schreier’s nature.
“… … !”
And, Valentiano witnessed.
One of the watchtowers inside Schreier’s castle collapsed.
“How did this happen? who the hell… … .”
I looked around, but it didn’t seem like the other professors were attacking me.
He wondered if it was Heinrich’s fault, but Heinrich was blocking the troops coming out of the gate.
“then… … .”
“Who would you be?”
Then Yoles’ voice was heard.
Although he was covered in blood from Claubice’s one-sided attack, Yoles was laughing at some point.
“Finally… Aernas has arrived.”
“… … !”
Quaang!
On top of the collapsed watchtower, I could see a golden sword flashing.
