The Leader of the NTR Knights Decided To Escape chapter 9

9 – Warm friendship between traitors

“what… what? big… What happened? Why did they fall so easily?”

Indigenous warriors who were instantly killed in front of their eyes.

Seeing those who had the same role as shields to block and break through the enemy’s attacks collapsed in vain, William was seized with a deep sense of bewilderment, as did the other soldiers under his command.

“radish… Muraka being so vain?”

“What do we do? this… Aren’t you going to die if you go wrong with this?”

The scene where reliable strongmen were killed in an instant began to have a great negative effect on the morale of the soldiers.

Due to the nature of the large army, the power to quickly rush and penetrate the enemy line was momentarily tied up.

Watching this, William, as a general, somehow managed to keep his spirits together and gave the order with the utmost firmness.

“what… What are you doing! Don’t stand still, keep moving! And fire guns and magic from this side too! No matter how many of them there are, they are less than half our strength!”

“ah… I see, General!”

Under William’s instructions, the generals begin to lead the troops by encouraging them again.

As a result, the soldiers resumed their march with the feeling that their momentum had weakened.

The wizards and gunners waiting in the back started loading their guns and magic.

And.

“launch!”

The offensive of the Imperial army launched under the direction of William.

A muzzle that spews fire with acrid smoke, and magic that contains bright red flames and electric shocks that shoot out with a colorful magic circle.

The bullets and magic, which contained more firepower than the rebels just before, poured into the enemy’s camp and flew away.

It was a pity that I couldn’t bring a cannon due to the terrain in the forest, but this is enough for now.

At this appearance, which shows a difference from the basic level of firepower, William began to smile at the corners of his mouth while sweating slightly.

‘As expected, the number of enemies is small. I was a little surprised at first, but when the firepower difference is this much, they can’t help it… ‘

By the way.

– Phat!

“… uh?”

The next moment, while flying toward the enemy lines, the magic suddenly went out like a candle.

The flames that embroidered the sky, and the pouring lightning.

All these magics were erased in an instant, as if they had never existed in the first place.

I didn’t know what happened to the bullets, but it didn’t seem like the enemy was hiding in the woods and at the same time, it didn’t do much damage in that it was on a high ground.

On the other hand,

As if responding to an attack that was blocked in vain like this,

From the rebel side, sharp voices began to be heard again.

-“launch!

Bullets and magic flew along with the instructions given again.

Its power seemed to be less than half of the previous Imperial army, but

Unlike their attack, which was hindered and neutralized by something, the offensive struck the Imperial army advancing forward again.

Soldiers running ahead fall to the ground.

As his body rolled on the ground, the soldiers immediately following were also entangled, causing additional damage.

In addition, it seemed that the defense magic was still not activated, and this situation was happening without distinction between ordinary soldiers and warriors.

“this… . what’s this… What the hell is this!!!!”

A situation of unknown cause.

As he watched his soldiers sluggishly taking damage without doing anything in the midst of it, a scream filled with confusion and doubt erupted from William’s mouth.

*

“Kheuheouk!”

“Keugh!”

William’s men are collapsing in front of his eyes.

Due to the nature of the highlands, Richard started to click his tongue deeply as he watched them being swept away one after another as the lead began to collapse.

‘I did, but it was as expected, William. I attacked without knowing Captain Cromwell’s abilities.’

William, who is in charge of the vanguard, can’t come to his senses while watching Mucham die.

His face, which had been elated that he had become a general not long ago, was completely bewildered at this moment.

‘You pitiful guy, that’s why you’re no good. He was condescending to be a general, and then he became very handsome.’

While kicking my tongue at my friend’s foolishness,

Richard silently looked at the magic of the Imperial Army, which was being nullified by Cromwell’s hand.

‘Also… I feel it every time I see it, but it’s really amazing… That power of the captain.’

Paladin’s combat power was quite weak.

Of course, it wasn’t that there wasn’t an attack method using the aura, but it was an established theory that the efficiency was not very good.

Of course, even taking that into consideration, Cromwell’s own combat power was superior to that of Richard, a warrior.

Frankly, if Cromwell’s transcendent talent had been a wizard or warrior rather than a paladin, his power would have been formidable, Richard was judging.

If he had been a wizard, he would have turned a village into ashes with just one spell.

If he had been a warrior, it was clear that he would have taken dozens of lives with a single swing of his sword and trampled hundreds of thousands of large armies single-handedly.

but nonetheless,

Richard also knew about another powerful force that Cromwell could wield because he was a paladin.

that is…

An attribute based on holy power, the power used by paladins.

It was about basic healing ability and magic defense.

There is no need to talk about healing as everyone knows it.

What’s even more terrifying is about magic defense,

This was related to the basic nature of divine power.

Mana, the power to artificially distort the laws of the world.

On the other hand, the holy power of the paladin, namely the aura, is the power that stands at the opposite point of this magical power, and has the property of making the logic of the world flow properly… It had the property of fundamentally nullifying mana.

In other words, if magic is a picture drawn elaborately with a pencil, the aura is like an eraser that erases it at once.

Because of this, Paladins have always been treated as the natural enemies of wizards, and although they are few in number, they are still a valuable force within the Empire, and they have been established as talents that the military tries to secure as much as possible.

And,

Among those Holy Knights, Cromwell was considered the strongest.

Richard knew through his long experience that he could use his ability to go one step further than that.

It’s not just about defending against flying magic,

To fundamentally block the enemy’s magic within a certain radius.

while using this ability. All magic of enemies within a radius of about 200m from where he is is nullified.

Not only offensive magic, but also defensive magic worn on the body cannot be used.

Although the distance of 200m was not that wide in a wide battlefield, it was still more than enough in the cramped mountainous terrain like now.

‘Magic power is the driving force behind the use of magic. Now that they’ve blocked it, mages and warriors will be no different from ordinary soldiers in front of the commander.’

At this moment, while witnessing with his own two eyes once again the fraudulent ability of his former boss. Richard feels a chill run down his spine.

However, apart from this fact, Richard was maintaining his composure rather than feeling nervous about the current situation.

Having gone into battle together, I had rarely seen Cromwell use this ability for long.

Although it was a transcendent power, it was clear that the consumption of the aura would be extreme as well.

‘In addition, judging from the firepower, the number of enemies is not that many. If this is enough, William will become a shield and watch as he gets beaten up, and if the captain loses his strength… After the trap prepared by the other side is revealed, it would be the correct answer to attack.’

With the thought that there was nothing he couldn’t win as long as he reacted calmly, Richard calmly waited for the right moment, watching William’s troops excitedly being beaten at the cost of his recklessness.

Absolute magic seal.

It is a divine magic that blocks all magic of enemies that harms me within a certain range.

It was one of the abilities that made the paladin the best shield in Blue Revolution.

However, this ability had some drawbacks, and that was that the consumption of the aura was severe enough to be bloody.

Originally, my ability was limited to 20 to 30 minutes at the most, even if I poured all of my divine power to the level of being unable to fight.

At least now, thanks to the 200% aura recovery buff, it took a little longer, but even so, it was less than an hour.

Even once you stop using it, it has a cooldown of 24 hours, so you always need to be very careful when using this ability.

‘Well, it’s rare to find someone who knows this ability… As expected, Richard over there seems to have known about it beforehand.’

Richard stands by while watching William’s men beat up.

Showing the warm friendship between the traitors, she was waiting for my ability to end at the same time as she figured out the strength of this side through William.

It was a clever move, but at the same time an act that could be called wise.

At the same time, judging from the fact that they gradually spread their troops widely to form a siege, it was probably thought that they would attack only after I stopped using my abilities,

If that happened, I would have no choice but to find myself in a rather difficult situation with a small army.

‘If you look at the situation here… ‘

William, unable to get out of the chaos, is fighting a dreadful battle, and Richard and the rest of the Empire are waiting for my abilities to end while eating popcorn.

The total was 2000,

At the same time, it was clear that the rest of the Imperial army remaining at the main base would also be focused on this place.

A situation where a minimum of 2000 to a maximum of 5000 troops were tied up with 200 troops.

And,

What’s left of me now

All he had to do was make her move as planned.

‘Since they’ve dragged this much aggro, I want them to clearly show the name of the middle boss.’

“Haaa… me really An attack at this hour? Aren’t the rebels sleepless?”

“I mean… Anyway, even the soldiers, things the size of a snot glow in a strange way.”

Imperial Army soldier Hans and his comrades express their annoyance with a thick yawn.

Those guarding the ammunition depot located to the south were originally supposed to be asleep at this time, but they were forcibly guarding this place according to orders.

Currently, most of the troops were moving to the north where the enemies appeared, and only a handful of troops, including Hans, remained here.

As a result, they felt a little boredom and annoyance, and were roughly standing on the alert.

“If they show up in the north anyway, shouldn’t we just sleep? Why did I wake you up to keep you here?”

“If I do this too, I’ll stay up all night for two days in a row. Anyway, I don’t like the rules made by the high-ranking people… aaa!!!!!”

“!!!”

“uh?”

next moment,

A colleague whose head was blown off by something cold that suddenly flew by.

As a result, Hans and others began to look around belatedly, seized with a deep sense of bewilderment.

Then the scene started to appear in their eyes.

that is…

“what… . what?”

“bar… Rebellion… army?”

Hundreds of enemies appearing in front of them in the dark.

And at the fore,

The bitter cold,

The figure of a beautiful woman staring at this side from the center of the countless blocks of ice being created in it…

A female general with blue eyes and blue hair began to appear.

“then… Where shall we begin?”
