64 Hwachaeng! Cough!
Quaaaang!
“These damn things!”
Calian gritted his teeth as he looked at the three knights who could barely stand up to him.
The advanced level he managed to reach was different from the output he could produce with the same force as a mid-level knight.
It was normal to be able to handle at least three intermediate level knights.
But now, rather than dealing with the three knights, he was completely blocked and had to watch as his men fell helplessly.
“This is ridiculous!”
Kwaaaaang!
Calian momentarily increases the output of the force and pushes away three knights in an instant with a strong strike.
A golden sword swung through the wind cut through them.
“Leave it to me and help your colleagues!”
The three knights who were dealing with him retreated without a word as the red-haired man shouted while pointing his sword shining with golden force at Calian.
The appearance of a guy who looked too much like the giant who had forced Calian to avoid him in the first skirmish.
The moment he saw that young guy, a spark flew into Callian’s eyes.
“Are you McLane’s son of a bitch!”
Less than an hour after the start of the skirmish, our team was defeated.
Capturing this guy will give our allies time to reorganize their battle lines.
Calian gritted his teeth and swung his sword wrapped in red force.
however.
Kwaaaaang!
Rumbling.
“Pfft!”
“What’s wrong with a senior knight? Be a little stronger!”
The momentum I can sense from him is mid-level at best.
However, it was he who was pushed away the moment they collided.
“You little brat!”
Dare to tackle a topic you got by luck!
In addition to his sense of crisis, Calian, who had his pride shattered, forgot his previous resolution and began to focus on living.
‘good. ‘Good.’
Logan smiled as he looked at Calian, who was showing off his deadly spirit.
A perfect enemy knight.
‘He’s the perfect opponent to break my wall.’
Logan knocked on the wall of advanced force user status by completing the second form of the secret divine sword, Dangeumchan (斷金斬).
However, the wall that seemed easy to overcome remained intact for several months.
It’s a painful time when you feel like you can’t see beyond.
A high-ranking knight from a territory other than Heinkel or his father, who had mastered the same iron-blooded sword, was a very suitable partner for gaining enlightenment.
I couldn’t help but feel excited because the battlefield was also a situation where our army was winning.
“come!”
Wow!
The duel began with a head-on collision without any tact or skill.
“Pfft!”
“Sigh!”
Rumbling.
The distance between the red light and the golden light colliding and being pushed back due to the impact was similar.
But the similarity alone was enough to make Callian flustered.
‘A mid-level knight with powers similar to those of a senior knight?’
No, that can’t be possible.
The amplification rate of abilities created by the Force increased exponentially as the level increased.
So, this was probably because he let his guard down.
“I won’t look at you anymore, you brat!”
“Damn….”
Chang!
Skag.
bang! Boom!
The sword strikes crossed several times, grazing each other’s armor and skin.
After a violent collision, he was pushed away again, and only then did Calian’s eyes, which had been burning with anger, become heavy.
Logan was more than happy to see his opponent’s change.
“Now I’m going to do it right.”
“Damn it…”
I don’t know why, but Callian decided to admit it.
He was not inferior to himself, a senior knight, in terms of strength or speed.
‘How could you at that age… you monster bastard?’
However, no matter how much he tried to catch up with his strength and speed, there was something he could never catch up with.
Calian suppressed his inner anger and jealousy and calmly raised his sword.
He realized that if he were to rush and get caught up in his emotions, he would end up in danger.
Crack.
“It’s going to be a little different from now on.”
With a low voice, his red sword swung, and at the same time, ‘two swords’ aimed at Logan’s upper and lower sides at the same time.
The bright red swords were so realistic that even Logan’s senses couldn’t judge them in an instant.
but.
‘under!’
The hand wielding the sword was clearly aiming at the lower body, and the sword strike above only had a red sword floating around.
The moment Logan moved to block the sword strike from his lower body.
‘No, it’s too easy a trick!’
With a sudden thought, Logan hurriedly moved his sword and drew it up and down.
Awesome.
bang!
Skag.
Because the response was a little late, Logan’s nape was slightly cut by the red sword at the top, which clearly had substance.
“Hmm. You’re lucky.”
“…an amazing feat.”
Both swords are real.
Seeing Logan’s sincere surprise, Callian responded with a cruel smile.
“Let’s enjoy that amazing talent right before we die.”
Spot.
Sigh.
As many as three red swords appeared this time.
A sword that cuts diagonally across the left shoulder and a sword that cuts horizontally through the leg. There’s even an added sting.
Logan had no choice but to retreat helplessly due to an all-out attack with no room for counterattack.
“…But I know a similar technique.”
Ugh.
The moment the golden sword shined, a strange force spread, and the three sword strikes that seemed like they would cut into Logan’s whole body strangely slowed down.
Red swords slightly deviating in direction.
Logan saw an opening and jumped into it, trying to swing his sword.
“Big! Don’t be funny!”
With Callian’s spirit, the red swords grew brighter and increased to five.
“Tsk!”
Two new swords that are not tied to the momentum of the heavy sword.
Logan had no choice but to hastily step back to avoid this.
Once I took a step back, my steps soon became faster and faster.
Kelian, who had turned the tide one-sidedly, rushed forward endlessly and swung his sword.
The five red swords swirling around like crazy made him feel like he was being attacked by five people, but Logan calmly counterattacked.
He tied his swords with heavy pressure swords and looked for any openings, never forgetting to counterattack every now and then even while being pushed back.
But even so, it was inevitable that the wounds on my body would increase one by one.
Calian, who had finally won, forgot his original purpose and let out a lifeless spirit.
“Get lost!”
At that moment, Logan’s eyes lit up and he jumped into the midst of the strike of the red sword that seemed as if it would turn him into rags at any moment.
“Taa!”
Wow!
“Pfft!”
“Whoosh!”
A major collision occurred again.
However, this time, it was Calian who was pushing Logan unilaterally who was pushed back even more.
Logan, who pushed the guy away, was grinning even though he had small cuts on his thighs and forearms and was bleeding.
‘found.’
Rather than tying up all five swords with a heavy pressure sword, tying only one or two critical swords would have created an opening for him, even if it caused some damage.
“The power of each one is too weak. This is all too bland.”
It was not a battle to simply subdue it, but to use it as a stepping stone for growth.
So, even though he wasn’t using his secret weapon, Logan hoped that the guy would give him a little more strength.
And Logan’s provocation worked perfectly.
Puzzle.
“I’ll cut your whole body to pieces.”
“I think your head will fall off before then.”
Seeing Callian’s eyes turn red due to his extreme level of killing, Logan laughed and ran towards him.
visor! bang! Quang!
Skag.
The pattern was repeated: for every dozen small cuts on Logan’s body, one fairly large wound appeared on Callian’s body.
And at some point.
Logan’s blow, which even Calian’s secret mountain sword could not ward off, split Calian’s side.
Wow.
“It’s big. It’s big.”
Callian stumbled but looked at Logan in disbelief.
Even though I saw this final blow with my own eyes, I could not block it.
I tried to block it by crossing the five swords, but in an instant, the enemy’s speed and strength far surpassed it.
That could only mean one thing.
“No way….”
“Thank you. For hanging out with me.”
Logan smiled broadly as he felt the ‘three’ cores pulsating against his heart.
The two cores that revolved around the first core amplified the force that naturally emitted eight times, infusing strength into the entire body.
My body, which had felt slightly dizzy due to the blood shed from dozens of stab wounds, regained vitality.
Now it was time to give a final gift to this grateful guy who helped him grow.
‘As flashy as possible.’
To raise the morale of your allies and make your enemies despair.
The core that moved according to his will rose from his sword as a huge golden light.
“It’s over.”
Divine Sword Secret Type 1: Wave Splitting (波浪斬).
As many as eight layers of golden waves swept the entire 7-8m space in front.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Calian’s armor was crushed, turning into blood-red sand and scattering.
The moment when the attention of those around you is focused on that shocking scene.
“I captured the enemy commander!”
Logan shouted in a loud voice that shook the whole place.
Right then.
– Caught Soto Sylvan! Anyone who kneels and throws away his weapon will be spared! Everyone surrender!
My father’s shout, louder than that, went beyond the castle walls and echoed throughout the battlefield.
The shock of the contents immediately dispersed the attention that had been focused on Logan.
“When did you go all the way there…”
Logan smiled awkwardly, covered in blood.
* * * The battle, which took place half a day after the declaration of war, ended in just a few hours.
Moreover, the result was a very one-sided, overwhelming victory for McLain.
Sylvan Barony Knight Callian and 42 others died. 1,223 soldiers died.
McLane driver Parmes and five others died. 0 soldiers died.
If I heard about it through rumors, I would naturally have thought it was a lie.
It was important that Soto Sylvan, who was running away, lost his guard knights and was quickly caught by Padric.
The moment Viscount Sylvan was captured and a sword was pointed at his neck, all of the knights who tried to resist until the end surrendered.
This was the reason why the faces of the McLane knights occupying Daejeon from the inner walls of Sylvan Castle were filled with smiles.
– We won. Overwhelmingly, too.
The pride that arose as I watched the development of the territory turned into reality.
It wasn’t that there were no victims, but it was natural that everyone’s expressions were filled with relaxation and laughter.
On the contrary, the mood of Soto Sylvan, his family, and the knights of the Sylvan Viscounty, who were all disarmed and kneeled in the battle in casual clothes, was at a low point.
There was no reason for the conquerors to care about that.
“Soto Sylvan. I will give you a chance.”
As the voice of Padric, who was sitting at the head table on behalf of the original owner, rang through the main hall, Soto Sylvan, who seemed to have aged ten years in half a day, raised his head with a haggard complexion.
“Apologise for the sins you have committed and at least apologize. Take your belongings and leave this territory with your family.”
He even apologized when everything he had enjoyed was destroyed and he was brought to his knees in humiliation.
It was not a situation that anyone could easily accept.
“This is such an outrageous declaration of war and unauthorized occupation. Even the royal family will not recognize it!”
However, Soto’s struggles only elicited laughs from those who watched.
As already proven in the territory war with Tethron, the royal family will not have the slightest interest in the outskirts of this country. There will be
no treason or other major incident equivalent to it . If it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t care.
But since he couldn’t say it in public, Padric chuckled and looked down at the loser.
“You insulted and threatened McLane, who had a just cause. I just took appropriate action to protect my sovereignty. Even the royal family will not find fault with it.”
“Even if the royal family does, Count Bipros, the Lord of the Southwest, will not tolerate it! Moreover, if it’s McLane!”
At those words, even Padric couldn’t help but harden his countenance.
If the biggest cause of the fall of the Count McLane family in the past was the misfortune of Count McLane at the time, then the person who took advantage of it to overthrow McLane and gained the most was at that time. It was Bipros, which was a vassal of McLane.
The current Plain of Bipros was the old Plain of McLane, and its fertile territory naturally made Bipros the lord of the southwestern region.
Of course, in the past, due to royal mediation and barren conditions with nothing to gain, Thanks to McLane’s land, Biphros did not force the McLane family to obey him.
However, from McLane’s point of view, just hearing that name made him feel bad.
“It probably means that he will turn down the opportunity and die. ?”
Padric’s voice naturally contained life.
“I, I….”
Soto realized, albeit belatedly, that the words he spat out in anger had caught his leash, and he began to think.
“Sal…. ”
Aaaah!
Before I could utter an excuse, his neck rose into the air along with blood.
“Aaaaah!”
“Daddy!”
“Honey!”
Soto’s family members, three wives and five daughters, who were on their knees, screamed in unison. .
“I respected the Viscount’s choice to die an honorable death instead of surrender, so I ended it with as little pain as possible.”
Logan shook off the blood from his sword and bowed his head to his father with a grave face.
“…Okay, well done.”
The story has already been told. Because it was something that happened, Padric’s expression was calm.
He captured Soto in order to win without damage, and killed him to end the lingering regrets of the remaining knights.
Even if there were knights who were truly loyal to Soto, who was famous for being a tyrant, they could not have converted. To give room.
‘If I had said I would live from the beginning, it would have been a little annoying. It worked out well.’
No matter how it turned out, the guy’s end was predetermined.
The only reason he was given a chance to make a choice was because of the rumors that this matter would spread and create
. In other words, it was to avoid causing trouble to other nobles.
In particular,
‘Bipros.’ …’
It was an enemy that the McLane family could not yet handle.
Now was the time to take a moment to take a leap forward.
