Episode 253
Episode 93. Restoration of Seruca (3)
Seruca was a small country. The size of the country as a whole was smaller than that of Jeton, the domain of the Jacques family.
It consisted of a total of three provinces, and each province had a castle.
Among them, the capital and one of the lord castles were captured by Chailan and Amel.
The knight introduced his name as Cole and led Yuma and his party to the commander’s barracks.
There was a musty smell in the commander’s barracks. It was a part that clearly showed the current situation of this unit.
“It is Hajir Castle that we guarded. Thinking the damn Chaylans were reinforcements, they opened the gates, and they stabbed them in the back.”
Cole slammed his fist on the table as if he couldn’t contain his rage.
Chailan pretended to be a reinforcement until the gate opened.
As soon as the traitors disguised as reinforcements entered the castle, they began slaughtering allies without hesitation.
The fight was over in an instant. Cole’s army fled without even fighting back. in their castle.
What could be more miserable than being betrayed by an ally on the battlefield and kicked out of their castle?
“There was no hesitation in trying to show sincerity to Lagatino Rollmandi. Even that is not enough, they are even committing the terrible act of hanging the heads of the soldiers they killed in front of the gate.”
Tears welled up in Cole’s eyes.
As a knight, it was embarrassing, but there was no way to let go of that unfair feeling.
“No matter how much, you hang the heads of those who were once allies in front of the gates?”
Randel asked. From the moment he heard the news of his betrayal from Cole, he had a very angry face.
“exactly. After hearing the reports of the scouts, I also doubted my ears.”
“You bastards who are worse than bugs… How could you do such a thing!”
It was an incomprehensibly cruel treatment to hang the soldiers’ necks outside even when there was no deep resentment.
“May I take a look at the soldiers outside Yuma-sama? Everyone is in very bad shape.”
Do it Cheryl. Sir Cole, please set up an aid station. This friend will give you first aid. A skilled magic healer.”
“Thank you… but didn’t you say you were on a special mission for His Majesty? It’s just that we’re wasting time.”
“Ah, I was just about to go to Seruka to check on the emperor. We will help, so let’s punish those traitors.”
Yuma said with force in the word ‘traitor’.
The fact that Ragatino Rollmandi’s unit was in collusion with the demons was a known problem even to Silma.
There was no way that Chaylan and Amell had been driven by that fact. Those two countries were no different from traitors to mankind because they attacked their allies to get attached to the demons.
Rugal also made a big announcement as soon as Yuma and the others left. It is said that Ragatino Rollmandi is invading the east with the power of demons.
Therefore, regardless of interests, each country must first join forces to defeat Lagatino Rollmandi, and Cantra will send troops first.
The war that began in Himac was not between humans and humans, but between demons and humans.
“Help… are you serious?”
“Seriously. Retrieving a castle is no big deal. Please tell us the situation of the enemy in detail.”
“But you… you seem strong, but you are not five.”
“There’s no need for all five of us to step in. I think Sir Randell and I will suffice.”
“Could you be Randall Jacques? That Kyle’s genius knight, Randel of the Twin Swords?”
Cole’s pupils widened as Randall nodded.
“God has not abandoned us! Who would have imagined! I hope Kyle’s genius knight will help us!”
For Cole, it was a miracle.
This was the central region of the East, and Seruka did not have a relationship with Kyle.
In fact, it was like a novel for Randall of the Zach family to help them who were in a state of panic as they were defeated by their allies.
Cole’s face turned bright for the first time.
Globally, Randel’s status was still much higher than Yuma’s. Randell has been following Duran around the battlefield since he was a teenager and has made a big contribution every time.
On the other hand, Yuma has started to make a name for itself rapidly in the last three years.
Except for Ahmad, they had never fought in a major war, and only personal stories and success stories were known.
It was for this reason that Cole reacted more violently when he heard Randall’s name than Yuma’s.
A person on the level of Cole, in fact, had never faced a world-class martial artist like Randel before he was alive. The eyes of Cole, who had been dying until just now, were already full of respect.
‘Randel Jacques’ was a name with such majesty among the martial artists of the world.
Of course, most of them don’t know what Randel looks like on a regular basis.
“My friend, you should build your reputation more.”
“Let’s take this opportunity to build up a bit. After all, there are plenty of people to kill.”
Yuma and Randel. There were two of Kyle’s best warriors.
No matter how big the enemy was, it would be the size of a small country’s army, so if the two made up their minds and fought, reclaiming Hajir Castle wouldn’t be a big problem.
•But I feel strangely uncomfortable about the diagnosis. From the high mac to the middle ground… Even if the speed of advance is too fast.’
There was no country in the East or West that could be called a great power. It seems that they split the western continent and share it little by little, but even taking that into account, the speed of expansion was too fast.
This speed was possible only when betrayals were happening frequently everywhere like now, or when there were many outstanding unmanned soldiers in Lagatino’s army.
‘I’ll have to get Hajir back with Lord Randell and then go to Seruka Castle.’
Seruka Castle was currently occupied by Amel. The situation of our troops there was not much different from that of Cole’s unit.
After briefly explaining these facts to Yuma, Cole ordered soldiers to set up an aid station. As Seryl’s healing began, the soldiers seemed to become a little more energetic.
“Chailan’s army consists of about 2,000 infantry and about 200 cavalry. Conducted by the Prince of Aka Chailan Chaylan. So de master.”
“How many sword masters are there?”
“Three, including Aka Chaylan.
The other two are Aka’s left and right knights, soldiers who are well known in Chaylan.”
No matter how much they launched a surprise attack as soon as they entered the castle, it was enough to lose the castle with just that amount of troops. It was Yuma who felt the level of a new ‘normal’ war.
Even if you are only a sword master, you can enjoy wealth and fame by getting a seat in a small country like Chailan.
Even Haseo’s rose society had more than 10 sword masters.
Of course, even in Kyle, sword masters usually receive special treatment, but it was difficult to hold such a grandiose position as a left or right knight.
“Hmm, that’s about it. I don’t think I’ll need an hour if I can just enter the castle. Even cutting the supply and demand of the chiefs.”
Randell said. Finding hope, Cole nodded and focused his gaze on Randel.
“It would be better to jump up the wall in the tulka and enter. Or break the front door with force.”
“While I’m breaking down the front door and drawing attention, my friend can go in and kill the chieftains, right?”
“It’s neat.”
Cole shuddered while the two talked casually.
In general warfare, the existence of a high-ranking sword master was absolute. Not only was the game of battle overturned with individual force alone, but it could not be stopped by a reasonable number of ordinary soldiers.
That is why Grand Masters such as Hugo and Duran are so praised.
“Seruca will not forget your kindness!”
“We’ll be leaving at dawn, so it’s better for the troops to start marching in the morning. When you get back the castle, wait for Emperor Rugal’s reinforcements.”
“Okay!”
Cole and Yuma and the others took a break after discussing the details of Chailan Castle.
“Yuma.”
“Yes Natalie.”
“Didn’t you say that Amanzo, seen through Lot’s eyes, looked like Evan?”
“It did.”
“Poor bastard…
Natalie clicked her tongue as she placed her hand on the side where Evan had stabbed her.
“Actually, that’s why I don’t want to take you on the way to kill Amanzo.”
“All right. Have you experienced enough breakups because of those damn waves? You’re strong, but you’re subtly lacking, so I’ll have to take care of you.”
At dawn, the party got on the tulka one by one.
Sheryl looked very tired from going to the doctor just now.
“Lady, lean on me and let me sleep well. haha!”
“A commoner like me can’t put such a burden on a great nobleman.”
“This isn’t even the Empire, so don’t mind that…
“Wow, Sir Randall… you look like a really bad guy.”
“You look like a kid who can blow a candle, Ballinan. Fovian friends are best when they are weak, but why are you like that?”
Looking at them, can you tell who is leaving to capture the castle? Only Tulka ran silently.
While moving, the party was able to identify quite a few defeated soldiers and fugitives.
The defeated soldiers were Hajir’s other troops who could not follow Cole, and the fugitives were those who had deserted from Aka’s army.
He told the defeated soldiers that he would soon return Hajir Castle, and to the fugitives, he heard the inside story of Hajir Castle.
“Useless torture and executions happen every day! It’s hell. I couldn’t stand it any longer and deserted. Help me…
Most of the fugitives were half insane. They were humans, not demons, so they couldn’t stand to see the horrors happening in Hajir Castle.
The runaway soldier wiped away his tears, saying that even ordinary soldiers are going crazy. was a young soldier.
Yuma gave him a piece of jerky and started Tulka.
“Aka or something, that guy seems to be very cruel. Reminds me of the Secron Wolf Asher…?”
“I agree, Natalie.”
After two days of running, the group was able to reach the cliff where Hajir Castle was visible. It was a night when the moonlight was obscured by clouds, so it was perfect for a surprise attack.
“Natalie and Ballinan Cheryl wait here. I’ll finish it soon and be back.”
“okay.”
The three of them got off and unpacked the tulka.
The remaining personnel were not at all nervous. It seemed that nothing could happen to Yuma and Randel against such a small castle.
Tulka stepped on the cliff and started to jump. It took an instant to reach right in front of the castle.
As Tulka swept the outer guard with his paws, Randel jumped off and ran to the gate.
“Randel Jacques is here!”
Randall wrapped his twin swords in an aura and began knocking on the castle gate. As soon as there was a roar, the archers hurriedly drew their bows.
In the meantime, Yuma drove Tulka to the side of the castle. Tulka climbed the wall, thrusting her claws into it.
Super! Shaak!
Yuma cut down the sentries who tried to light a beacon on the wall. And Yuma, who naturally lowered her gaze to examine her resistance, swallowed her breath in surprise.
“Huh…
In the castle, the burning was in full swing. Amidst the burning corpses, a human with an unusually large body was seen.
‘The possessor!’
I could tell without going closer to check. It was a demon possessor.
