Episode 127 All-out war with Proxia (3)
After a short break, the battle is imminent.
All the soldiers were full of tension and held their weapons in their hands.
On the wall, the archers aimed their bows at the enemy, and the magic troops cast spells after reciting the words of the starter.
However, the enemy showed no sway even in that appearance.
Just then, a cloud of dust began to rise behind them little by little.
A thick sand wind blows and shakes the earth’s axis.
It was as if an army numbering in the tens of thousands was marching.
As a result, the tension in the troops of the Seongguk was heightened to the limit.
Eventually, when they learned the true nature of the tremendous march, they could not help but be astonished.
“It’s a certain monster!”
“The Holy Knights, climb on top of the wall and protect the wizard!”
The operation has already been broken.
To attack the rear against such enormous monsters.
It must have been nothing but a suicidal operation.
Of course, Griaia couldn’t have predicted this far.
More than 10,000 monsters were enough to break down the walls and turn Gehel into a sea of fire.
Resistance to them?
There can be no such thing as possible.
How do you defeat an army that includes flying monsters, large monsters, poisonous monsters that are difficult to deal with, and even some heterogeneous species?
It took an instant for the allies to lose their fighting spirit and become terrified.
Paladins and priestesses defeated fear through penance, but faith was not accepted even by other knights and bodyguards.
Because they did not have the same faith as them.
“How do you beat something like that!”
“Retreat! Run away if you don’t want to die!”
In front of the fear of death that was already approaching, it was not important to be a military high school officer.
Even the well-trained knights were clearly terrified, but how could a mere soldier endure it?
Graia gritted her teeth and thought.
‘There is absolutely no chance of winning. I can only think of retreating at this rate.’
As soon as the thought was over, the action followed immediately.
“Everyone retreat! As you run away, set fire everywhere to keep them from pursuing you!”
When the order was given, the soldiers who wanted to run away excitedly ran away.
Of course, dutifully, while setting fire to the surroundings.
The monsters hesitated for a while at the intense firepower.
Only the castle gate, which was made through a special process, did not burn, but the strong smoke emanating from the inside was enough to stop their advance.
They barely managed to get away from Proxia.

Ray’s eyes opened.
‘Whoa. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this room.’
In the meantime, the mind was awake, but the body could not move.
Occasionally, Aira would come and cast a clean magic on her, but since she couldn’t move her body, it was extremely painful.
Moreover, even now, the body was not moving.
The only things I could barely move were my pupils and eyelids.
It was also because of the hard fight.
Ray looked at his left hand.
An arm that absorbed the demonic energy of the Bone Dragon that permeated Sieg.
I never imagined that it would be so helpful in this situation.
As I said before, mana of various attributes cannot be in one place.
However, there was no mana in Ray’s body.
He drew mana from the air and used it, not creating a circle inside his body to use it.
That’s why he was able to absorb all of Zeke’s demonic energy.
However, mana was present in Ray’s body.
What kind of mana is that?
It is the mana of the magic circle that spread throughout the academy.
The mana eroded Ray’s body and came in, and the Magi on his left arm fought hard against him.
Because two types of mana could not exist in one place.
At first, I felt like I was going to die in pain from the fight between my left arm and the demons inside my body.
A terrible pang came over him, as if his blood vessels were ripping and his muscles were bursting.
A local level magic circle that has been painstakingly installed for decades with the Bone Dragon’s Jinmagi.
I couldn’t even put my mind on the barrel of the two fighting.
After a month like that, my body moved to some extent.
Like fingers twitching or opening eyes like now.
Now, Ray was focusing on putting the two in a fight.
I don’t know what kind of magic it is, but even moving mana in the air is difficult.
So, the only way to escape from this bondage was to consume both mana.
There will be a war going on outside right now.
No matter how much the Holy Kingdom was pushed out, even Eucliwood participated in the battlefield.
Probably, all of them were recruited as troops, except for children, women, and the elderly who could not hold a sword.
Ray sighed and closed his eyes quietly.
Rather than keeping my eyes open, it was better to focus and guide the demons.
Fortunately, it was difficult to deal with the mana inside the body, but the mana in the air was at least manageable.
He gathered the mana and swung it at the demon, and when the mana and the magic circle started to collide, he quietly collected the mana.
Now don’t interrupt.
At least it is to his advantage that Magi win.
In case Magi could lose, he prepared a little bit of mana to move on the other hand.
If the magic circle’s mana wiped out all the magic, there would be no way to survive.
Carefully watched the fight between Magi and Mana.
As the two collided, intense pain came.
‘Ahh!’
I couldn’t move my body, so I had to scream inside.
What kind of magic circle is it that is so strong!
If the person who created this kind of magic circle is in front of me, I will definitely kill it!
It wasn’t something a saint would think of, but since he wasn’t like a saint from the beginning, it doesn’t feel very foreign to him.
He was gradually becoming more like Iriel.
* * *
Eucliwood, who was in charge of leading the troops in Shillien, was demonstrating what he truly was.
Her ability to freeze enemies alive with her tremendous cold magic is truly terrifying.
Although he is the highest commander, he does not mind giving orders and fighting in enemy territory.
So, it was possible to grasp the battlefield situation at a glance and give only the right orders.
“Knights of Cornelia, step back for a moment.”
“All right!”
“Now. Casting for the 5th Magic Corps right away.”
“Fire ball!”
“Become a sword that cuts through the wind and cut your opponent! Wind cutter!”
Enemies are annihilated by magic flying at the right time.
“Aaaagh!”
“It’s magic! retreat!”
Leading the charter by managing troops most efficiently in the right place, she was a god of war itself.
Even now, it has overcome and reversed the difference in troops of 3,000.
The soldiers’ trust in Eucliwood has already exceeded the level of trust.
Now is the stage of blind faith.
In the evening, the armies of Proxia and Eucliwood, who were gradually withdrawing from each other, made a provisional truce.
Fighting at night would be a huge loss for both sides.
Of course, there is no guarantee that a surprise attack will not come, so we should not neglect our vigilance.
Eucliwood poured water over his sweaty hair.
She, who had maintained her expressionless face not only during battle but also during rest, suddenly twitched her eyebrows.
“…It is the presence of the Holy Son.”
Eyes that draw beautiful curves like drawing a rainbow look in the direction of Cellonia.
I couldn’t look away for a while, perhaps because I felt something intuition.
Lorraine, who commands the 8th Star Knights, came to her.
Taking off her helmet and wiping off her sweaty hair like Eucliwood, she spoke.
“You are the same today! If you’re with Eucliwood, I’m Lorraine! I think we can be together forever!”
“As I always said, it is a nuisance. Because my side is only for him.”
“It is again. If the right side doesn’t work, the left side doesn’t exist either! Ahaha!”
“The right hand and the left are all his.”
The leader of the knights, who had extremely high tension, and Eucliwood, who cut down that high tension with an expressionless expression.
The two matched surprisingly well.
Even now, like this, you can joke about it after a battle.
The vice-captain of the Cornelia Knights briefly took off his half armor beside him.
“Whoa. I guess I will live a little now.”
His sculptural body, created while training his swordsmanship, appeared drenched in sweat.
At that, Eucliwood looked down at his own chest for a moment, then twitched his eyebrows again.
“…This is the obscene vice-captain. It’s not good to look like that in front of a lot of people.”
“yes? I just took off my half armor because it was hot…”
“You don’t even know what you did wrong. Very poor quality.”
“Eh? But, Euclid-nim is also dressed like me!”
I protested as if it was unfair, but it became a fatal blow for Eucliwood.
It’s the same outfit, but how different is it!
Lorraine patted the shocked Eucliwood on the shoulder and said,
“Glacea-nim is also very cruel.”
“Why?!”
“Put your hand on your chest and ask.”
With an incomprehensible sound, Lorraine took Eucliwood and left.
It seems that the one word that came in just an instant was stronger than the damage received from the enemies so far.
Even against Proxia’s army, they were not pushed at all, but rather pushed back.
Because of that, the morale of the troops was also low, but the great pride of protecting Silien was at the bottom of their hearts.
If we fight like this, we might be able to protect not only Silien, but also Gehel and Celonia, who were said to be in bad shape!
Especially in the case of Gehel, it won’t be easy because most of the enemy’s forces are heading there.
How much power would it be if they went to such a place as reinforcements?
If we join forces to drive out the enemy and raise the spirit of the Seongguk, surely the Seongguk will be able to be reborn as a super-gigantic nation recognized on the continent.
They waited for tomorrow’s battle with big dreams, they didn’t know.
The fact that Gehel was completely pushed out.
It was not just driven out by the army, but driven out by a large army of monsters.
It is unlikely that they will be able to get rid of them just because they are looking for them.
Rather, the number of victims will only increase.
However, for those who had not yet heard of the war, the advance of Gehelo was scheduled.
