Episode 155
“Oh my…!”
The knight next to the 1st Prince Rohter von Grandia, a young man with platinum hair, moved first.
Looking at the red force blade that shined clearly despite his young face, I thought it might be one of the secret powers hidden by the Second Prince faction.
He was not a strong person who could be a variable in this situation.
“Smash it!”
Following Logan’s expressionless instructions, the red stones held in the hands of the nearby knights fell like hail into the gap in the air.
Wow!
When breaking through the main base, dozens of rarely used magic bombs exploded at once with a tremendous roar.
It wasn’t intentional, but the barrier, which had begun to gradually disappear, caught even the shock waves that should have exploded in all directions.
The shock wave was reflected within it and the explosive power itself was amplified.
In the end, when all the transparent barriers disappeared and the ruined barracks appeared in everyone’s sight.
Even among the corpses that had been reduced to charcoal, Logan was able to see the First Prince, who survived with only light burns.
It may have been the result of other knights and wizards embracing it with loyalty, but it was meaningless in the current situation.
“Life is tough.”
“How dare you… you bastard! Get the hell out of here!”
I thought about making a little fun of that absurd reaction, but the enemy troops who had already established a siege network were showing signs of making a move.
Skag.
Without even thinking about wasting time, Logan cut off the First Prince’s head with a single sword.
The head of the first prince rolling on the floor in vain.
Logan shouted loudly as he lifted the man’s neck to the tip of the knife.
“I cut off the head of Rohter von Grandia!”
There was no need for further comments.
After the civil war, the 1st Prince, who lost the central point that should have made him king, would fall into a state of panic with just that shout.
however.
– Catch him and kill him! The one who brings McLane’s head! I will reward you with 100 million gold in honor of the Douglas family!!
For some reason, an angry voice suddenly echoed throughout the battlefield, immersing it in silence for just a moment.
A bounty of a specific and astronomical amount.
“Sounds stupid.”
Logan scoffed and clicked his tongue.
Anyone with at least a little bit of intelligence will be able to see the loophole with just a little thought.
Will the Douglas family, which has lost the central force that started the civil war, still survive after the war ends?
Even if there were some left, would they really have the capacity to provide such compensation?
And even assuming the best, I wonder if the duke would really be willing to give such a large sum of money at that time.
No matter how you think about it, Juan Douglas’s cry was nothing more than a struggle to control his anger.
However, that is only the opinion of a few who can continue to think calmly and leisurely in this crazy battlefield.
“Wow!”
“Attack!”
“Red hair! Red hair!”
To the 1st Prince’s army, who was trying to build a siege to catch them, it felt as if a life-changing treasure was right in front of them.
To the majority of uneducated people, the ducal family was a symbol of power that would never be overthrown, just like the royal family.
Logan, realizing his mistake at the sight of the soldiers rushing towards him in a frenzy as if his eyes had rolled back, let out a sigh of relief.
‘I was told that somehow things were going smoothly.’
Lately, I’ve been unintentionally feeling that I’m not that smart.
The good news is that from Aegis Castle, you can see vigilantes and regular soldiers with rapid-fire crossbows coming out of the castle gate.
It was thanks to the fact that the elites of the faction retreated to the Esperanza Knights and the results they had achieved.
Therefore, Logan was able to make his decision more easily.
No matter how things turn out.
“We attack the 2nd prince’s army like this! Wave the flag to send a signal! Concentrate the castle’s troops on the 2nd prince’s army as well!”
If only the second prince is eliminated, this war will end.
“Grand Duke, but the 1st Prince’s forces are around now…” “
We will break through with our own strength! The crossbow cavalry will unite and be on guard in all directions! We will shoot all those who approach, and the knights will follow me and clear the way!”
“yes!”
It might have been a somewhat reckless decision.
There could have been great sacrifices.
But if successful, this could be the end of everything.
so.
“Jordan will be next to Second Prince Logan. He’s still not moving.”
“But we will do it somehow.”
‘I take any risk.’
Logan began to move forward without hesitation even though he thought that he too might have been affected by the madness of the battlefield.
However, the situation was different from when they marched towards the 1st Prince’s army’s main base.
Ugh.
“Aaaah!”
“You monster!”
“die!”
The golden giant sword split the ground horizontally, instantly spawning dozens of corpses.
Truly overwhelming force.
However, the troops behind the corpses rushed towards Logan again without fear.
Soldiers and knights belonging to the author of Nam are rushing in from the front.
And behind them were the knights of the Walter Maim Order, who blew off the heads of those who fell behind.
The kingdom’s largest knight corps boasting overwhelming numbers.
More than half of those who were clashing with Esperanza, the most ‘high’ knight group, turned around and were deployed from Aegis Castle to block the path forward of Logan and McLane’s elite.
And that too using the most despicable methods.
Even Logan, who had been clearing the path with overwhelming force from the front, began to slowly slow down, and the McLane knights who followed behind him also began to struggle.
Logan finally made his final move.
“The use of Liberatio is permitted! Clear the path as much as possible!”
The knights, who had been saving it until the last minute, were given permission to use, or rather recommended, the use of magic bombs, which they could only obtain five or six of.
“Keo-eo-ok!”
The moment he cut off the enemy’s head, Rogelio, the knight of McLane, felt the enemy’s sword digging into his chest.
‘There are too many… Damn.’
Fortunately, I had time to think about this, so it seemed like my heart had escaped slightly, but it was a fatal wound that left me unable to continue the fight.
Moreover, there was a bigger problem.
He said he could feel the magic bombs placed inside the flame pattern drawn on the silver armor starting to heat up all at once due to the impact.
While other colleagues only had three or four pieces to make it easier to move around, he had more than ten liberatios.
If these explode in the current situation…
‘all my colleagues will die too.’
– Are you being greedy because you have nothing to be greedy about?!
– If the breastplate becomes uncomfortable, you will be stabbed to death before you can use the bomb.
– If I get attacked in the chest before then, it’s over, right? If we suffered enough damage, it would have been a knight’s attack, and if the pressure on the breastplate had received that much impact, a chain of explosions would have occurred. Ugh Rosé. If you do that, hug the enemy and blow yourself up. Don’t die with us.
The vicious remarks of his close friends and colleagues who had been with him for a long time came to mind one after another.
‘Damn it… Rio, you bastard. They told me to be careful with my tongue. That’s really what happened.’
“Rosé!”
The nickname Rose, which I normally disliked, sounded even more irritating.
Especially because I could clearly feel the sadness contained within it.
But thanks to that, Rogelio was barely able to muster his strength.
He forced more strength into his body, which was about to collapse, and screamed at his friend.
“Do not come!!”
Feeling like he would lose strength and collapse if he removed the sword stuck in his chest, Rogelio jumped into the enemy camp, holding the enemy’s corpse with its head blown off.
“Please take care of my son, Rio!!”
I tried to scream for the last time in my life, but I don’t know if my voice came out properly because blood was pouring out.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if he didn’t hear it, Rio would take care of his son.
Because that was what they promised each other when they went to war.
I thought my family would take care of me, but my friends were more trustworthy than the Grosun family, as I had only been a knight of McLane for a year.
He participated in this seemingly reckless war not because he was loyal to his family, but because he could not abandon his comrades or friends.
‘request. ‘Rio.’
Even though my vision became dark, the last thing I thought of was my son’s face.
‘I’m sorry Russell.’
At the same time as an apology to the son left behind.
An intense explosion occurred centered around his body and covered a radius of several tens of meters.
Wow!
“Ugh! You bastards!!”
Starting with the death of Rogelio, who was highly popular within the knights.
Some of McLane’s knights, if they thought they were going to die, chose to grab their enemy and commit suicide.
When the situation became like that, the enemies who were rushing towards us with venomous eyes had no choice but to stop. As magic bombs were thrown at them in succession and they even waited, McLane’s advance, which had been faltering, began to pick up speed again.
At that time, Padric increased his speed and stepped forward.
“Logan, step back for a moment. I’ll clear the way somehow!”
“father?”
“I can see Jordan’s gray head over there. You’re the only one who can cut off his head… Uraab!”
Ugh.
The red Force Blade soared 1.5 times higher than its own limits and cut the enemy in front in two.
“Conserve your strength! I’ll make sure to send it to him!”
A forehead dripping with cold sweat. A tired body. My hands start to tremble little by little.
Padrick looked like he was already on the verge of exhaustion.
Meanwhile, there are only enemies around.
In the midst of this, he, the strongest member of his team, is telling him to rest his hands?
Although it was a request that could not be accepted according to common sense.
“Trust us Archduke!”
“Even if I’m not as good as the leader!”
“That much is possible!”
Framber. Hector. JD.
McLane’s oldest middle-aged janitors.
Heinkel and Padric’s de facto disciples stood next to the matriarch one after another.
“I will open the way!”
Although they were only intermediate level knights, at this moment, they all showed as much strength as Padric.
“Chaaap!”
With a loud cheer, the red Force Blade slices through the entire front with all its might.
“Uracha!”
“It’s here too!”
Middle-aged knights almost threw themselves to fill the loophole.
The wounds on the three men’s bodies increased exponentially, but thanks to this, the speed of the knights’ advance did not decrease at all.
Of course, unfortunately, the dream did not become a reality just because of curiosity.
By the time I really saw the face of Jordan that Padrick was talking about.
The 2nd Prince’s army, realizing that their liberatio was almost gone, reorganized their battle line, and the 1st Prince’s army approached from the rear through the pouring rain of Quarrel.
In fact, the siege network in the middle of the enemy camp was completed.
Just as Logan was gritting his teeth and trying to get to the front of the Dodge, Padrick saw him.
Eat.
It didn’t matter whether Jordan was actually laughing or if it was just his imagination.
‘I need to see your face crumple!’
With anger that made the blood in his body surge, Padric turned the knife back.
“Logan!!”
“yes?!”
Above the bewildered son’s view.
Padric held up a force blade that had been transformed into a flat, flat shape.
A modification of the Force Blade that was never permitted to ordinary top-level knights.
He didn’t even know how he did this.
A new Force Blade created from just a surge of anger and a moment of inspiration.
The moment when Logan, who was embarrassed, slightly climbed on top of him with a stern expression.
“good!”
The Force Blade, which had maximized elasticity, lifted the body of a sturdy young man wearing armor tens of meters into the air.
“Enemy in the air!”
“I’m going to your Excellency!”
“Stop it!”
Looking at his screaming subordinates, Jordan smiled with a stern look on his face.
The sword attack was gradually being pushed back by the joint attack of the other three superhumans, and McLane’s elite was already completely surrounded by Allied soldiers.
The Esperanza Knights at the rear will take a while, but it’s enough to kill them after taking out McLane.
‘The troops that are sacrificed can be replaced with the 1st Prince’s army.’
The nobles of the 1st Prince faction, who have lost their focus, will eventually flock to him.
No matter how nominal it may be, they will not be able to go to the combined forces of McLane and Swordsman, who killed their main army.
In that sense, the kid who killed Prince 1 could be said to be his benefactor in a way.
so.
“I’ll deal with him myself! Get rid of the rest!”
The last part should be decorated nicely.
“I will not give you any room to escape, Logan McLane. I will kill you myself.”
Jordan Walter Maim, the kingdom’s second-in-command in the military hierarchy, greeted Logan with a murderous smile.
