Episode 355 Commander-in-Chief (2)
“Is there a next time?”
Baek Woo-jin lifted his finger, but there was not a single soldier from the imperial army.
“A monster….”
“Aaaah! Guren!”
“Guren-sama was hit by this sword?”
“Nonsense…”
The imperial army, both soldiers and knights, took a step back, their eyes trembling as if they had lost their minds.
-You’re scared.
Darkness clicked its tongue as it looked at the frightened imperial troops.
‘It was as obvious as seeing fire to get that kind of reaction.’
The commander of the vanguard, and the fourth of the ten imperial swords he trusted, was killed with one sword, so he must be on the verge of losing his mind.
-It’s already over.
Baek Woo-jin wanted the next opponent, but who would be next to come out of there?
The imperial army’s standard fell to the ground. It was no different from the fact that the skirmish had already ended.
Jeez.
Baek Woo-jin stepped over Guren’s body and approached the army.
“Ugh!”
“Oh it’s coming!”
“It moved!”
“Send out the dark demons and have the knights stand by! “Soldiers, prepare your bows!”
There were commanders who gave orders even in the midst of panic as to whether their command authority had been completely broken.
Ugh!
Baek Woo-jin displayed the feeling of reaching transcendence. In a split second, Rasadum’s aura spread throughout his son-in-law, bringing with him all the information on the battlefield.
‘A little over a hundred?’
Currently, the number of commanders giving instructions to soldiers and dark spirits was about 100.
After identifying the commanders’ positions and presence so clearly that I could almost feel them, I pulled out my sword.
“I don’t know strategy or tactics.”
I slowly turned my head and saw Edgar on the castle wall.
“But you know what to do in situations like this.”
On the blade of the Seolyeonggeom, Rasadum’s Aura and Water King’s Wind Thunder were used at the same time.
Absolutely!
A blue-black thunderbolt, like a thunderbolt from the sky, wrapped around the white blade.
Quaaaaa!
Baek Woo-jin threw his Seolyoung sword backwards towards the sky.
Crumbling!
Countless islands of lightning rise into the sky and then fall as lightning.
Lightning Island attacked the commanders who were giving orders, showing off a variety of trajectories that even the most advanced players could not avoid.
“Kwaaaak!”
“Hehehehe!”
“Save me…”
Dozens of lands exploded in succession, and more than a hundred commanders fell.
Whoa!
Both the priest and the knight captain lost their breath. There was not a single person who survived the lightning explosion.
“Ugh!”
“All the commanders are dead!”
“it’s crazy! “You’re crazy!”
“A monster…”
Everyone took a step back, regardless of whether they were knights or soldiers. They tried to go first, but they got tangled up and a mess broke out.
Don’t fall in!
Baek Woo-jin raised the thunderbolt again and fired a second thunderbolt at the siege weapons.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The siege weapons, including the Chungcha siege tower catapults that had just been summoned, split apart on the island and collapsed like a sand castle.
“Even high siege weapons….”
“How are we supposed to defeat that monster!”
“I’m screwed…”
Not only the soldiers, but also the knights and priests seemed to be out of their minds and their hands shaking their weapons.
“
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
!
Even the dark ghosts that were running after receiving the order stopped without even lifting a finger due to the powerful energy wave.
“Having a large number is definitely an advantage, but if you can’t use that number, it becomes a huge disadvantage.”
-You know me well.
“They will be a great teaching aid to unite the Allied Forces.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his fierce sword and aimed it at the imperial army, then turned around and looked at the top of the castle wall.
-Hehe, the facial expressions are nice.
‘I know.’
The expressions of the soldiers and castle lords who saw the force that went beyond the absolute and reached the transcendent showed extreme astonishment and awe.
“Open the gate!”
He roared at them.
“Open the gate!”
“Open the gate!”
As if Zach and the soldiers were fascinated by his roar, he opened the castle gate.
“They came here to target your life, your land, your family! “How long are you going to just watch!”
“Ah…”
“Come out the door! Protect what is yours with your own hands!”
“Wow!”
As soon as he finished telling them to protect, the knights of Ramelun who were near the gate drew their swords and kicked them to the ground.
“Aaaah!”
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s protect what is ours!”
The warriors of Preston Castle rode out on white wolfs, the knights of the Seiran Alliance took quick steps, and the elves of the Rhine Forest raised their longbows.
“We have a black swordsman!”
“Wipe out the empire!”
“I will repay you for everything I have suffered so far!”
Soldiers, knights and warriors all rushed towards the imperial army with the confidence that they could defeat the enemy and the will to protect them.
“Shit!”
“Get out of the way! Fast!”
“Commander! “Where are the group leaders?”
On the other hand, the imperial army retreated back, not knowing what to do. A shadow of defeat had already appeared on their faces.
-I knew you were a good talker, but I didn’t know you had the capabilities of a commander.
Darkness looked at Baek Woo-jin and stuck out his tongue.
‘He’s an amazing guy every time I see him.’
A good commander can be made, but a special commander must be born with it. The ability to read movements on the battlefield, the sense of smell to identify enemy weaknesses, and even the mouth to deliver excellent speeches.
Baek Woo-jin just showed all three. He had the talent to become a special commander.
“That’s not the commander’s talent I have.”
-what?
Baek Woo-jin raised his sword and pointed at the sky without answering.
Hwaaaaa!
The magnificent light that bloomed from the tip of the sword rose like a black sun and illuminated the backs of the Allied Forces.
[Perfect Sword Commander is activated.]
The Allied Forces, who received the effect of < Perfect Sword Commander >, an attribute that increases the abilities of swordsmen who follow them, became a black storm and began to sweep the imperial army.
Although other abilities can raise the morale of soldiers, the perfect sword commander actually increases military power. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the greatest talent a commander has.
-Perfect sword conductor….
“You forgot, right?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled as he watched the Allied Forces pushing forward like a bulldozer.
Even if the enemy is weakened, this experience will be a great experience for the Allies.
“First of all, the first battle is a great victory.”
**
Edgar looked down at Baek Woo-jin standing under the castle wall.
‘Baek Woo-jin.’
He raised his sword without the slightest hesitation against Guren, the Imperial Swordsman whose superiority and inferiority even he could not determine.
I thought Baek Woo-jin would win, but I never imagined that he would cut Guren down with one sword.
‘A monster beyond recognition….’
The absolute superior. The moment he saw the heart of an opponent of the same level as himself being cut open by a single sword, goosebumps appeared all over his body.
Baek Woo-jin was watching for a long time even when he was sparring with him. The end of his power did not seem like an abyss.
What happened next was even more surprising.
After the death of General Commander Guren, Baek Woo-jin identified the commanders who were giving orders and slaughtered them all at once with the sword of lightning.
Thanks to this, the imperial army, whose chain of command was completely broken, became a ragtag mess.
‘I didn’t know you were good at giving speeches.’
Baek Woo-jin opened the gate and the speech he gave made even myself, who hated him, feel warm.
The speech was short but full of sincerity and will, and I felt like I wanted to rush out and sweep away my enemies.
‘The last light…’
In fact, the most shocking thing is the light that Baek Woo-jin saw at the end.
The swordsmen who received that black light showed a completely different movement than before and pushed back the imperial army.
Special commanders raise the spirits of their soldiers, but this is the first time I have seen them draw out actual strength rather than momentum like that.
I really had nothing to say.
“Whoa…”
Edgar sighed deeply and turned around.
Dapple and Seinlect Freed ran out after Baek Woo-jin, and Caelak put his hands together with an emotional expression on his face.
Payden and Tilly Kutan of the alliance, who could be considered one with him, were all looking at Baek Woo-jin’s back with a soulless expression on their faces.
“It’s over.”
Edgar chuckled and turned his head.
The strongest military force, special command ability, and even unknown abilities. I had no choice but to admit defeat on all fronts.
‘But…’
Instead of the uncomfortable feeling of defeat that seemed to be squeezing my chest like before, my heart was filled with a pleasant sense of defeat that I could acknowledge and accept.
‘Is this the first time I’ve acknowledged someone else?’
He was born as the king of the east and has always been respected. It made his bowl small and thin, but just today it felt like the bowl was broken and a new bowl was created.
“I admit it.”
Edgar clenched his fists and nodded.
“You are the man who can stand above me.”
**
While priest Yuman was praying toward the statue of Kavaron, the door to the main temple opened and a middle-aged priest with a puzzled expression came in.
“Director Shin!”
The middle-aged priest hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of Yu Man, who turned around.
“We’re in big trouble!”
“Priest Yohen. “What’s going on?”
Yuman turned around with a soft smile.
“The vanguard that went to conquer Ramelun was defeated. Imperial Swordsman Guren and all of his commanders were killed and many soldiers were taken prisoner! The worst situation is that even the supplies that supported them have been taken away! What should I do with this?…”
“I see.”
Although it was the worst situation with enormous damage, Yuman’s relaxed expression did not change.
“The person who killed Guren must have been Baek Woo-jin, right?”
“That’s right. It is said that they engaged in a short combat and that he was cut down with a single sword.
“Knocking down Guren with one sword? “You’ve become stronger again.”
Yuman smiled and shook his head. He seemed rather happy that his enemy had become stronger.
“New city manager?”
“Through this war, Baek Woo-jin must have become their light. “A brilliant light that can be seen in broad daylight, not at night.”
“That will happen.”
“That’s what light is. “The bigger and more brilliant the fall, the more spectacular the fall.”
Yuman came down the stairs with his back to him.
“Cancel the participation of the second team and slowly move the main team back.”
“New city manager?”
“Let them get right under the nose of the empire.”
“The general commander of the headquarters is Jejagigeom. In that case, no matter how much he is Baek Woo-jin…”
“It’s not about running away, it’s about pulling him in.”
“yes?”
“I will drag them in so that not a single person can escape, and then I will drop the light that is Baek Woo-jin to the floor.”
A cool smile that did not match his expression appeared on Yuman’s lips.
“I’m already looking forward to it. “The look on their faces when that light falls.”
**
Six days have passed since the Allies achieved a great victory over the Empire’s vanguard.
Thanks to the fact that Servik, who had said it would take a week, arrived in Ramelun in 5 days, a meeting of all Allied officials was held today.
A conference where all the rulers of the East, North, and South gathered together, as there has never been or ever will be.
“Why did you call me here as soon as I arrived? “I don’t like sitting at the head of the desk.”
Servik, dissatisfied with missing the war, raised his chin.
“I know you’re tired, but this is an important meeting. Preston Castle, Linden Castle, Seyran Alliance, Ramelun Beast Tribe, and even the Elves of the Rhine Forest. “With so many forces gathered, a general commander must be chosen to lead them all.”
“Hmm…”
The other castle lords nodded at Mayor Caelak’s words.
“General commander? Baek Woo-jin can do that.”
“yes?”
Caelak’s eyes widened at Servik’s harsh answer.
‘what?’
Signing an alliance and looking up to Baek Woo-jin are two different things.
It was unthinkable that a man called the King of the South would have no hesitation in recognizing Baek Woo-jin as the commander-in-chief.
“In the South, the loser goes under the winner. “I lost to Baek Woo-jin, so I just follow whatever he does.”
“Huh!”
“You lost?”
Upon hearing that the king who ate up the entire southern region had been defeated by Baek Woo-jin, the lords of Fayden Castle and Tilly Castle of the Seiran Alliance let out a sigh of relief.
“Even if you exclude me, there must be a lot of people here who follow Baek Woo-jin, right? “Isn’t it meaningless to vote?”
“you’re right! I’ll give it a try! “You communicate well with me.”
Servik shrugged and Dapple raised his hand in agreement.
“Still, we are a coalition, so we have to vote.”
Caelach got up and came out to the center.
“As a result of the previous meeting, the candidates for commander-in-chief are Baek Woo-jin and Edgar Seongju. First, if you think Baek Woo-jin should become commander-in-chief, please raise your hand.”
No sooner had Kayrak finished speaking than Dapple, Sylvia Sein, Servik Rector, and Frid Bulfor raised their hands.
“Mmm!”
“Damn it…”
Payden Tilly Kutan, a member of the Seiran Alliance, bit her lip as she looked at the raised hand.
“six! We got the majority, so…huh?”
Caelak, who was counting, widened his eyes. The man who I thought would never raise his hand among the castle lords raised his hand.
“Castle Edgar?”
“Seo Seonglord!”
“Why are you…”
Seiran Castle Lord Edgar raised his hand. At that sight, the castle lords of the Seiran Alliance stood up.
“I only raised my hand because I thought he was the right person to be commander-in-chief.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with Edgar, who was looking at him.
‘It’s changed.’
-It seems I was inspired by the battle you led. Surprisingly, he was a decent guy.
As the darkness said, the stubbornness and greed in Edgar’s eyes were no longer visible. What was contained within it was pure enthusiasm and recognition.
“I agree too!”
“me too!”
The three lords of the Seiran Alliance who had not raised their hands raised their hands at the same time.
“Ten people agreed! “It was unanimously decided that the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces would be Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin!”
“Oh oh! “Master!”
“Congratulations!”
“I’m counting on you!”
“I hope to go along well.”
As Caelach nodded, the people sitting at the table congratulated him.
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin stood up and made eye contact with everyone.
People who had previously followed him smiled sincerely. The three lords of the Seiran Alliance still looked embarrassed, but Edgar had a cool expression.
“I became commander-in-chief, but nothing has changed. “As always, I will fight harder than anyone else at the forefront.”
I continued speaking with the naturally blooming power of the king on my back.
“Everyone, please trust me and follow me.”
“Oooooh!”
“All right!”
“of course!”
“Just give orders. “Don’t pick any neck.”
Dappl cheered and Sylvia Sein nodded. Servik waved his hand as if to say only his name.
-You must have grown up a lot to gather together the strong men of the North, South, and East and make yourself king.
‘You raised him, right? Anyway, the internal anxiety was resolved.’
Edgar, who seemed like he would cause trouble, changed his mind, so it seemed like there would be no problems within the Allied Forces.
‘Now it’s our turn to push back the empire.’
