136 A dark night with even the moon setting.
A group of people began to move from the center of the Second Prince faction.
They lowered their family flags and moved with their torches kept to a minimum, but it was impossible for thousands of people to move without making any sound.
In addition to the sound of movement, there were various noises here and there, but no one thought that they could completely control all of this in the first place.
Therefore, those with bright eyes and ears could not help but notice the movement.
Some of the eyes that had been watching their Macline from the beginning quickly reported the trend to their master.
Day 2 of operation.
That’s when McLane began to head southwest and bypass the mountains.
“This is the report from the informant you mentioned. There was a tail. And that was only a day away. Their army moved directly in this direction. Completely different from the discussed direction of advance.”
“Hmm. I thought you would just leak information, but you took a gamble… Is that why you decided to do this in the first place? Well, it actually worked out better.”
“It went well?”
“If we had gone according to the original plan, we would have had to take two more risks, but they gave us a better excuse. There is no need to take the risk as planned.”
“Ho… Then?”
“I can see the perfect terrain to defend against rear attacks. It’s a high hill that comes around the ridge.”
“Okay. It would be nice to take a break for just one day.”
The McLane father and son looked at each other with smiles.
Soon, all of McLane’s command was assembled.
“Huh? Bipros? Those guys are crazy. Aren’t they crazy?”
Heinkel’s voice represented the hearts of all the knights gathered in the barracks.
“Now you know that you are no match for them. Unless they are really crazy, they must have prepared a plan.”
At Eilen’s clear voice, everyone’s eyes in the barracks turned to Logan again.
Logan nodded with a wry smile.
“Yes. Originally, I expected the enemy to attack based on the information they leaked. I expected the strength of two margraves and planned to deviate slightly from the advance route and set a trap.”
The knights’ complexions hardened at Logan’s words.
Even though McLane had a power that was incomparable to before, no one thought that he would suffer no damage while facing the power of two margraves at the same time.
Logan, seeing the stiffened expressions of the knights, smiled and continued.
“But when they came out directly like this, the situation actually got better.”
“yes?”
“There is no reason to go out on a mission and take damage no matter how big or small. Let’s just clear out Bipros… and get out of this war!”
The knights’ eyes widened at Logan’s words.
And the next day.
When the sun rose in the sky but the army did not advance and the soldiers began to whisper, the expected incident occurred.
“An army appears in the rear!! A rose blooms in flames! This is the army of Bipros!”
“You’re here.”
“All troops rear guard! Ready for battle!”
Logan, who gave the order, took the lead and headed to the rear, while the command team in perfect order reversed the troops and headed to the rear.
Naturally, the approaching army of Bipros had no choice but to stop in confusion.
‘Goals’ await at the top of a high hill leading uphill, bypassing the mountain range.
A scouting party found them early, but they were unable to turn around or stop.
Those on higher ground would have already discovered the main force.
Roger Bipros’ face had no choice but to harden.
“Why over there…. I wonder if those damned bastards noticed….”
“Your Excellency. What should we do? If they noticed….”
Aslan’s heavy expression also moved to Roger Bipros’s face.
“You may not want to admit it, but it’s hard for us to deal with them on our own. We have to get help from ‘them’ as planned…”
“How much distance is left?”
“It takes about a day to get to the promised location. However, at the speed of the large army’s advance, if it is just ‘him’ and the elites, it will be possible in a few hours.”
“…Okay. Send a message to ‘them’ and inform them of the situation. Tell them to come as soon as possible. Also tell them that you will do whatever you can to prolong the time.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have to insist first. It’s not like there isn’t a way to the south gate from here.”
“Yes? But… you won’t believe it.”
“But they can’t attack us right away without confirmation. And if they do… we have no choice. We have no choice but to fight.”
“Your Excellency. If that were the case…”
Pout.
“There’s no turning back now anyway. Send a message quickly! He’s coming.”
“Yes, Your Excellency. Please be careful.”
“Huh. I never thought I’d hear something like this while dealing with those McLane guys.”
Roger Bipros, with a miserable complexion, rode slowly alone.
All right. All right.
As if to tell us about each other’s vigilance.
The two horses, which were slowly moving toward each other, stopped with a distance of over 100 meters between them.
And soon, Logan’s voice, full of force, penetrated Roger Bipros’s ears.
“What are you doing on this road, Your Excellency? Isn’t this the route of Bipros?”
“Isn’t the advance route at the discretion of the field commander? We also chose this route to avoid the attention of the enemy.”
Roger Vipros’ voice, using magic, rang out as if it were for both troops to hear.
Logan’s voice did not waver at all.
“If we do that, it will be difficult to time the operation. To get to the south gate of Harun Castle from here, we have to climb over the mountain.”
“There is a way. Even if it looks like this, I’m not a 5th circle wizard.”
“I think it would be difficult not only for a 5th circle wizard, but also for a legendary great wizard.”
“Thank you for your concern, but it seems pointless to waste time like this when the great work is just around the corner. Shouldn’t we move quickly?”
“In this situation?”
Just move on and leave you behind?
Roger Bipros responded with a smile to the question with a clear look of disbelief.
“Hmm. Well, if you have other plans, can we pass by first? Like you said, we’re busy on our way.”
“Would you like to pass by first?”
“If it’s okay with you.”
“Hmm. Sure then.”
Is it because the answer came out much easier than expected?
“what…?”
Although Roger Bipros’ complexion hardened slightly, there was no delay in his response.
“Ah… Haha. Thank you for understanding. The whole army is breaking news! McLane’s army is passing by!”
however.
When he turned around, his face couldn’t help but become very stiff.
Jump and jump.
The army of Bipros climbing the hill.
And McLane’s army looking down on it from above.
As the distance between the two sides became closer, the expressions of not only the command staff on both sides but also the troops became tense.
In the end, Biphros stopped his advance at a distance slightly outside the firing range of the repeating crossbow.
“Hehe. Contrary to what you said, I don’t think you have any intention of just getting out of the way?”
“The Count’s army also seems strangely nervous. Why is that?”
“No matter how much we have a grudge against each other, I don’t think it’s time for our allies to be at odds like this. If you don’t trust us, why don’t you go your own way? We’ll stay far away and move again later.”
Logan burst into laughter with a relaxed expression as Roger Bipros spoke, trying to hide his nervousness.
“Haha. You don’t have to do that.”
“what?”
“You said earlier that the route of advance is at the discretion of the field commander, right? We’d like to change direction as well. Let’s retreat first.”
“What are you doing now…”
“All troops advance! Return to base!”
“yes!”
McLane’s army began to approach the Bipros army, which stopped at the foot of the hill.
Then Roger Bipros’ complexion began to change in real time.
White, blue and red.
“What are you doing now…?!”
“Let’s stop acting out each other. Or should we send a message to Duke Waltermaim right away? Is this really something that can be forgiven at the discretion of the commander on the scene?”
Roger Bipros’s face turned red as he responded to Logan’s calm response, and the expected cry finally burst out of his mouth.
“The battle begins!! Everyone move as prepared!”
At the same time, Logan also took out his sword.
“Full army charge! End Bipros!”
The clumsy play ended and the full-scale battle began.
‘Why don’t you run away right away?’
Logan found it strange.
It was safe to say that the difference between the current McLine and Bipros had widened as expected.
Although I guessed that there was a high probability that a battle would break out after the clumsy play, I could not figure out why Roger Bipros approached me instead of backing down.
However, that question was resolved immediately after the battle began.
In a not-so-pleasant way.
About a thousand cavalry coming out of the enemy camp with a voice that is annoying just to listen to.
Roger Bipros gritted his teeth as he looked at the trembling weapons in his hands.
“Now, let’s give those enemies a hot gift! Get ready!”
“Yes!”
Following Roger Bipros’ instructions, the Bipros knights lined up in the center of the camp all put their hands into their bosoms.
And they all began pulling out blue stones.
“They were hit by their own weapons. It would be a good experience to see.”
With Roger Vipros’ cruel laugh, red stones flew up all at once.
Red stones poured in a straight line from the front.
Weapons of familiar shapes thrown by Force users with great force flew across the front at an incredible speed. It was flying towards.
The moment he recognized it, the expression on Victor’s face, who had been running hard on his horse, hardened.
“Ribe…!!”
The command was given briefly in an urgent mind.
However, the reaction was as if it showed the level of training of the crossbow cavalry. They were quick.
Among them, a few with excellent reflexes fired their crossbows at the flying red stones in less than a second.
However, if each one of them was not the greatest archer of the century, how could they shoot down all the hundreds of stones?
The few Quarrels Although they hit the flying bombs, most of them fell towards the crossbow cavalry with a red glow.
The moment Viktor’s face turned pale.
A huge golden net unfolded from the air above their heads.
Wow
!! !’
It was just an impulsive action.
He couldn’t let the crossbow cavalry suffer fatal damage like this.
Logan mobilized the power of the ghost shadow and the wind god’s boots and flew over the head of the crossbow cavalry like lightning.
And unconsciously, he used all his might. He stretched out his sword.
But the moment the golden beam of the Iron Cleave, the longest-range attack he could use, condensed on the tip of the sword, reason put the brakes on his unconsciousness.
Wow.
‘This isn’t enough.’
The light of destruction that penetrates everything at a single point is powerful, of course, but it cannot completely block the Liberatio that falls sporadically over a wide area.
And right now, there is no need for such a strong destructive power.
It is just a weak force that is enough to explode a bomb. All you have to do is cover a wide range.
The exquisite combination of reason and unconsciousness achieved in a crisis situation.
It created a transformation of the divine sword’s vision that could not have been forcefully intended in normal times.
The golden light at the tip of Logan’s sword is divided into five branches. It spread out and gradually expanded its range in a zigzag manner rather than a straight line, reaching toward the front.
When seen individually, it looked like lightning crossing the sky, and the sight of all five stems combined was like a huge golden net spread across the sky.
And that golden net blocked the front of the crossbow cavalry with only the force of ‘just enough to explode a bomb.’
Ahhh!!
“Ahh!”
It wasn’t that there was no damage at all.
However, the Liberatio that flew out of the hands of the enemy Compared to the number, it was nothing short of a miracle that the damage was stopped by only about a dozen.
“What!”
“What…?”
“It’s the Archduke!”
“Don’t stop! Advance! The enemy is just around the corner!”
It was a moment of panic.
With Viktor’s shout, the crossbow cavalry began to speed up again.
Then they raised their crossbows towards the enemy knights, who were even more embarrassed than they were.
Pabababak.
Tadadadadadang!
Quarel. When the charging momentum of the baptized Biphros Knights slowed down.
“What happened here?”
An angry shout was heard from deep in the enemy camp.
The enemy commander’s bewildered voice was met with magic that completely resolved the confusion of the allies. There was the same force:
‘They don’t have bombs anymore.’
That gave strength to Viktor and the crossbow cavalry.
“Keep shooting and spread out to the flanks!”
With Victor’s shout, the crossbow cavalry began to perform their original mission perfectly.
However, Bypros did not fall easily.
