Episode 131
“Those guys…?”
There are about 200 people in shiny armor that looks good at first glance.
However, the scale pattern engraved on his chest made the other person laugh.
“Mercenary Knights? They are the vanguard? Are the 1st Prince faction crazy?”
No matter how much the great nobles sacrifice themselves, the vanguard position is an important position.
Even if the margraves did not step forward, it was common for their immediate subordinates or someone with a certain level of power to step forward.
In that sense, Kairos was never relevant.
A knight corps that was not trained directly by the Kairos family, but was created by recruiting S-class mercenaries who were free knights or force users from all over the kingdom or even the empire.
It was an inevitable choice for Simon Kairos, a self-made man, but thanks to that, he had no choice but to bear the stigma of being a knight sold for money, such as the mercenary knights of the Golden Knights.
The qualitative problem that even the leader was only a mid-level knight, which was not appropriate for the large number of people of 200, was also an inherent weakness.
And now, Director Allen’s expression was completely distorted.
– Our knights will take the lead to prove innocence.
Words that completely cut out the context.
It was completely absurd to Allen, but his master, or rather his employer, was not the kind of person who would kindly explain things to his subordinates.
‘I’m the leader at the start of the giant slalom… I’m not some kind of superhuman!’
It was a place where even the family members remaining in the Kairos territory wanted to run away immediately.
– Don’t worry about your family. I will take responsibility for my entire life.
All I can believe is that one word.
The Glacier Magic Tower wizards were casting some auxiliary magic on themselves and their members, but they were not trustworthy at all.
Considering the items in their arms given to them by their leader before heading out, this was just a story telling them to hold on a little longer and then die.
‘Rubbish.’
Allen waited for the signal to start the battle, or rather the moment of death, feeling fortunate that his expression could not be seen because it was covered by his helmet.
and.
– Go forth!
Wooooow.
He weakly lifted his lance as the trumpet sounded along with a shout.
“Kairos Knights. Charge…!”
He didn’t even think about how his voice would be heard.
Allen forcefully raised his fighting spirit, hoping that most of the members with similar circumstances would be able to continue charging without fear.
‘There’s no such thing as guaranteed death! If only he succeeded in that and quickly retreated…’
But fate seemed to be laughing at even his simple expectations.
The blazing red force at the end of the lance of the enemy knight at the forefront of the enemy running towards him was clearly that of a superior knight.
Despair fell into Allen’s eyes inside the helmet.
* * * McLane was equally surprised by the appearance of the Kairos Knights.
“Kairos?!”
“why…?”
The father and son looked at each other in surprise, but there was no way they could get an answer.
And the situation wasn’t leisurely enough to figure out the cause of that unknown reality.
“Is Viscount Simon Kairos crazy?”
Not a craftsman, but Viscount Simon Kairos.
With those words, Logan erased any concerns he might have had about his father.
And at that moment, the trumpet sound announcing departure rang out.
Wooooow.
– Entire army advances!
With the vaguely audible marching order, McLane’s army advanced towards the enemy camp together near the Second Prince faction command center.
The deployment of forces shows a completely different position compared to two weeks ago.
At the center, Logan clicked his tongue and watched as the Kairos Knights were completely destroyed.
A sight that anyone would have expected.
But what followed was a series of scenes that no one expected.
Wow!
A cold feeling enveloped the leaders of our knights along with an intense explosion of alcohol.
The starting point was the Kairos Knights of the vanguard who collapsed in the conflict.
At the head of the fallen Kairos Knights, waves of cold air surrounding a radius of about 100 meters erupted one after another, regardless of the enemy or enemy.
“blizzard!”
“Use the 5-circle magic in a row like that?!”
“scroll…!”
A 5-circle scroll that can only be created by a 6-circle mage.
At first glance, almost five quasi-artifact-level war resources exploded in succession, as even the materials were so rare that they were worth the price.
“her…?!”
Logan also couldn’t help but feel nervous due to its majesty.
Tactical weapons that Grandia’s only mage has made throughout his life.
Because one of the weapons that defeated the Two Princes faction in the grand competition in the past life was revealed.
‘Blizzard Scroll. Looking at their surprised reactions, it seems like this was their first time using it too. Those aren’t all the scrolls that Juan Douglas has in stock.’
Fortunately, the 5th circle magic scroll wasn’t that kind.
It is common sense that unless you are a wizard, you cannot control its power and direction.
Since the wizard could not run wild in the front line, the Blizzard Scroll could only be used in a way similar to self-destruction.
‘Well, I don’t think they even knew that.’
Logan clicked his tongue as he looked at the knights rolling around in the cold zone created at the center of the conflict.
There were only a few surviving knights within a radius of 300 meters of the overlapping cold area.
Using the ‘weak’ Kairos Knights as bait, he destroyed three knights of the Viscount family under Margrave Tartan at the same time.
It was a huge damage that could never be ignored.
The first clash could actually be said to be a decision victory for the 1st Prince faction.
“Juan, you bastard! Are you going to end this here!”
An angry shout came from the command center.
With that shout and the flag waving dizzyingly, the core forces of the 2nd Prince faction began to move quickly little by little.
“I guess we should go too.”
“yes.”
– Advance!
– Corsair…!
Hearing shouts coming from all over, McLane also began to advance.
And Logan’s gaze was focused on a man of such enormous stature that it was hard to believe he was a human being, running away from the center of the friendly forces at incredible speeds.
‘Auror user. Half Giant Luther Kyle.’
Half Giant.
A man nicknamed the Giants, a great race known for having fought a dragon in the mythical era.
He radiated a force as powerful as his name and crossed the battlefield much faster than a horse.
And in front of him, who was showing the force of a storm, a slim person who was much smaller than him and looked like a dwarf in comparison came like the wind.
“Now, let’s see the end today. Lump!”
“I will crush you! Horse bones!”
From Luther Kyle’s hand, a huge war hammer the size of himself sprang out to crush the small figure, emitting an auspicious red light.
‘Auror!’
Logan also has the power of destruction that he sees for the first time since entering this life.
A miraculous power that even the teacher did not show, saying that if a person who is not yet advanced enough to encounter an auror encounters an auror, even his or her spirit will be broken.
Its power was vividly felt even from a distance behind.
And in the face of the overwhelming force of the giant, Wicken Callia quietly took out a sharp rapier.
The pure white mana flowing so vividly that it could be seen made me guess that it was an unusual artifact, but compared to the threat in front of me, it was a sight that seemed so small and dangerous.
However, the moment Wicken Callia, the Storm Blade, swings his beloved sword.
That thought had to change 180 degrees.
Kwakwakwakwakwa.
I saw a 4-5m whirlwind emitting pure white light and engulfing the charging giant.
and.
Kwaaaaaaang-!!
Soon a huge explosion erupted, capturing everyone’s attention in the center of the battlefield.
Kwakwakwakwa.
Quaaaang!
“I’ll end your tough life right here!”
“Who cares!”
Is it because the distance is far, or is it because my level is not up to par? Even with Logan’s transcendental senses, it was difficult to keep up with the battle between the two superhumans.
However, even among superhumans, there was something to be gained just by watching the fight between two superhumans who were extremely specialized in their ‘body’ and ‘attributes’ respectively.
‘From there to like that…’
Considering that in my past life, when superhumans fought, I tried to walk away without even looking back, this is an unimaginable development.
Those memories from my past life made me focus more on the fight between superhumans.
But the unfortunate thing was that it was not a situation where one could comfortably focus on the fight.
“Logan!”
“Yes. I know!”
Logan looked away from the fierce battle in the center, listening to his father’s voice.
The large army lined up around the central battlefield where the superhumans clashed was already within visible distance, even with their expressions on their faces.
Although he was full of regret, he was not an outsider either.
He and McLane had to make sure to impress the 2nd Prince and Duke Waltermayim of Jordan in this battle.
“Victor!”
“yes!”
As soon as Logan shouted, Victor and 1,500 crossbow cavalrymen, who were preparing, rushed out ahead of them in an instant.
Doo doo doo doo.
The first to jump out of both camps are still the knights, as is tradition.
Victor’s crossbow cavalry aimed their crossbows at the enemy troops charging in between the friendly knights.
“As long as you block the crossbow, they’re no big deal.”
The knights of the Zahid Knights on the front lines of the enemy who were watching the movements of the McLane army raised their shields all at once.
Information about McLane’s weapons had already entered the entire First Prince faction’s army, and every knight was making preparations in preparation for the cavalry’s attack.
When Zahid’s knights smiled inwardly in conversion.
“turning!”
The crossbow cavalry turned at a right angle and ran to the right.
“What is it?”
Rommel, the leader of the Zahid Knights, wanted to chase after those guys, but other knights were already at close range and were raising their lances targeting them.
‘Tch!’
They trample on those who destroyed Wolves.
It’s a shame for him who was aiming for that honor.
However, the knights in front of me took precedence over those who were already far away.
Kwaaaang!
Rommel roughly shook off the enemy’s body caught on the end of his lance.
He didn’t even care about the knights of a certain Viscount who had intervened in front of McLane’s army, which was his original target.
‘I can do enough!’
I just plan on clearing these guys out quickly and then dealing with the original goal behind them.
“Charge! Penetrate the enemy lines!”
Rommel rode forward again, encouraging his men, who were proud of having crushed a knight corps with only 20 losses out of 250 men.
To set a bigger goal than the scattered remnants of the army.
But at that moment, the rain of Quarel covered his eyes completely black.
“Shoot! Shoot! Aim for the distraction!”
Kaisolon’s voice rang out and every time the direction of the flagpole changed, McLane’s soldiers fired their crossbows accurately.
Among the soldiers were elite soldiers who had survived many fierce battlefields, including the Battle of Tomodo Castle. Many.
They knew that they could defeat the knights, so they were not too scared when they saw the knights in front of them.
And the well-trained soldiers, mainly veterans, moved mechanically and fired crossbows according to the instructions of the commander. .
The fact that the knights, who had stopped charging, were frantically firing arrows and showing no signs of advancing again gave the soldiers more confidence.
And not long after.
Quaaaaaa!
An explosion erupted among the enemy knights, and those powerful men They even looked like they were falling down one after another, revealing their weak points.
The evil-looking wizard who was throwing the exploding weapon far behind them was an infinitely reliable ally right now.
“Right second row! It’s a gap! Concentrate fire!”
Following Kai’s instructions, a barrage of rapid-fire crossbows aimed at the knights who had been hit, and the knights of Zahid’s Knights began to lie down one by one.
And seeing them, McLane’s Knights began to move.
In the McLane army, the traditional charging formation where the knights charge, the soldiers follow, and the wizard assists them was not found.
Victor’s crossbow cavalry, which passes by the knights and makes detours, strictly targets only enemy ‘soldiers’ with crossbows. They were shooting.
The charging enemy knights were blocked by ‘soldiers’.
And the wizards were not assistants to the soldiers, but direct attackers, causing damage to the enemy knights.
In fact, the knights, who were the strongest, were not even moving.
“Don’t think of it as cowardice, but think of it as minimizing the sacrifice of your allies as much as possible.”
“Who would think such a stupid idea?! There is no such idiot here!”
Heinkel’s sly reply brought laughter here and there, but the tension did not subside.
“We only slit the heads of the fallen enemy knights! Is there anyone who can’t do this easy thing?”
“No!”
“Okay! “All army! Charge!”
With Heinkel’s shout, the McLane Knights charged toward the gap in the enemy knights’ crumbling ranks.
