96 – When victory is before your eyes…
What is the best way to put the rat in the poison?
Anyone who has experienced it knows that rats are surprisingly violent and persistent creatures.
If you grab the tail and lift it up, it will climb up on the tail and try to bite your fingers.
The best way was to hold on to the branches, but that in itself was not an easy task, and if you tried too hard, there was a risk that the rat you had cornered would run away.
The best way to catch such a nimble and rough guy.
It is…
The trap was set by putting the animal’s favorite food into the poison.
This is a way to let down the guy’s guard and, above all, to deal with it reliably without worrying about it biting off your finger.
And at this moment.
It feels like we are setting a mouse trap like this.
We succeeded in completely trapping that huge and ferocious imperial army.
“Attack!”
“Wipe them all out!”
“For the glory of the Franz Kingdom!!”
The armies of the rebels and the Franz Kingdom army surge in like angry waves from all directions.
At this time, I was quite distracted due to the shelling coming from the ship.
The large army of enemies began to bite the imperial army from all directions, like a wolf charging at a wounded buffalo.
“Come on, you dirty Britons! “I am Rafael, the general of the Great Franz Kingdom!”
Lafayel is ruthlessly wiping out enemies while wielding a sword overflowing with blue magic.
Every time the sword is used, the blue sword energy pours forward and cuts down dozens of imperial soldiers.
Lafayel, who shows without filter the overwhelming majesty of the general of the Kingdom of Franz, and the imperial army who do not even dare to approach him.
At that time…
“Rafayelle, you bastard!”
“Hoo… Who is this? “I didn’t know that the hordes of British bastards would be killed so quickly?”
A general appeared blocking Lafayelle’s path.
He is a being who radiates red magic on a scale different from that of the generals here, and is the overall commander of the rebel forces here.
General Cornwells.
Seeing him clearly expressing anger that could be seen at a glance, Lafayelle began to smile with deep excitement.
“I was already looking for where you were. Now, let’s compete!”
“Yes, good! Since this has already come to an end, I will defeat you and crush the Franz Kingdom army for sure!”
Two people holding their swords while looking at the enemy in front of them.
As he is a pure warrior who is far from a wizard who uses complex magic,
At this moment, they began to convert the enormous magical power flowing through their entire bodies into strengthening their bodies and condensing it around the sword in their hands.
The swords of two people are clearly visible even in the flames rising everywhere.
Holding the sword with clear blue and red magic flowing through it,
They sent a cold gaze towards the ‘enemy commander’ in front of them.
And…
“Haaa!”
“aaah!”
Two people running towards each other at the same time, without any regard for who goes first.
They swung without hesitation, reaching a speed so great that it was invisible to the average person.
-Pajijijijik!!!!
Their swords clash with enormous sparks flying.
Due to the condensation, the force that could easily cut even steel into pieces collided tightly, and the ground where the two people were standing began to split apart.
-Pakang!
After sharply pushing each other away, the two people swing their swords again, aiming for an opening.
However,
Despite the angle being difficult for an ordinary person to respond to, the two people’s swords accurately blocked the opponent’s attack.
It’s like a scene where angry bison are clashing their heads against each other.
As if to show that the name General was not in vain, Lafayel and Cornwalls were fighting with such speed and power that others could not even dare to intervene, making one feel fear just by looking at them.
“As expected, General Rafael… “You’re making it difficult for us to even keep up.”
“But that man, Cornwells, is not ordinary either… How can you fight with General Lafayel like that without losing a single move?”
This is a scene that makes the Franz Kingdom army, who thought they would win at once, be amazed even if they do not want to admit it.
Just like that, the two people’s swords clashed several times, aiming for the opponent’s vital points.
Regardless of their ferocious spirit, their battle was rarely a winner.
“You… “I thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be just as good as I heard!”
“Still, the little things from the Kingdom of Franz are still a thing. But it’s not even close to this!”
As they had similar levels of strength and similar fighting methods, they easily read the opponent’s attacks and swung their attacks, but the same was true for the opponent as well.
As a skilled warrior who rolled and rolled on the battlefield,
They are at a level where they can tell where to attack just by the movement of the opponent’s shoulders.
Even to change the flow of attack in its own way and engage in psychological warfare, the body reacted first and broke off on its own, so it was really not easy for either party to inflict the final blow on the other.
The two are unable to achieve a winner despite continuing their fierce battle.
However.
“Pfft!”
“Where are you looking! “You probably don’t have time to look elsewhere, do you?”
Unlike Lafayelle’s attacks, which became more and more fierce as time passed, General Cornwalls began to show a gradual focus on defense.
This was not because his physical strength was low or his skills were lacking.
Lafayelle, who can fully concentrate on the battle at hand at this moment,
This was simply because the current war was in his favor, but crucially, at the moment when he was fighting at the forefront, in the rear, Grand Marshal George was observing the overall situation and directing the overall war.
In the first place, his personal combat skills are not bad, but even more than that, Grand Marshal George considers his excellent command skills to be his greatest strength.
Under his direction, the rebel and kingdom forces were literally tearing apart the imperial army, which was trapped and struggling.
On the other hand, unlike Lafayel, General Cornwalls could not help but feel more and more impatient at this moment.
The war situation, which was very bad from the start, was becoming more and more unfavorable for the allies as time passed.
In addition, as the overall commander, he focused on Rafael in front of him, resulting in his command being carried out sloppily.
Our troops were losing control more and more, moving on their own accord, leading to self-destruction.
The original plan to defeat Lafayel at once, use that momentum to restore morale, and lead the battle to victory was completely in vain.
As General Cornwells became more and more psychologically driven, he had no choice but to commit reckless attacks more and more frequently.
“aaah!!!!”
And the result…
“Here!”
“Kuhuheook!!!”
General Lafayel took advantage of the gap created and accurately pierced the body of General Cornwells.
Due to that blow, General Cornwells fell to the floor screaming.
With his sword pointed at his neck, General Lafayel shouted loudly.
“The enemy general has fallen! “Wipe out all the remaining remnants!”
Lafayel’s declaration stamping the victory of our allies, who were already at an advantage.
Accordingly, the rebels and the Franz Kingdom army pushed harder against the imperial army, whose morale, which was already low, had fallen even further.
Now, as we reach out for the last time towards the victory that is truly within reach.
But…
*
“Push! “Don’t let anyone live!”
General Franklin narrows the siege located in the south and gives sharp orders.
Following her instructions, the imperial army was actually trying to cut off the last breath of the imperial army, which was struggling to its last legs.
And, looking at this.
An unbearable smile began to appear on General Franklin’s lips.
‘Good! With this, the imperial army is completely finished. All that remains now is to clear out the remnants and have our independence recognized. And I….hehehe!’
The victory was a victory, but even more than that, Franklin felt deep joy at the fact that she was able to be with the man she had always admired.
So she tried to direct her final attack as she was, with the thought that there was nothing that could stop her now.
But…
“Kuhuhuhuh!!”
“Kwaaah!!!”
“?!?”
The next moment, a miserable scream came from behind her.
At the same time, I began to feel…
With an eerie feeling of something unknown.
General Franklin had no choice but to look back.
And right after that,
A being began to appear in her eyes.
They suddenly appear from the rear and slaughter our soldiers…
At the same time, looking at it endlessly radiating black magical power that gave a terrible feeling all over its body…
General Franklin’s face began to appear darkly perplexed.
“I… That… frozen… Dead?”
“Cl….La… la… Killed… all… Disturbing… They too… All… Killed… all… “
