Episode 23 ‘The master is blocked!’
Heinkel, who was rushing next to Padric, widened his eyes at the unexpected sight.
It didn’t matter that his charging seriously injured an enemy knight.
In order to get through enemies twice their size, they had to have a head of household.
Moving forward at this rate would only be suicidal.
He gritted his teeth and turned his horse to attack another knight, but even that wasn’t easy.
visor!
The moment the attack was blocked, two knights were seen attacking him from the left and right, targeting him.
The rest of the knights were also in a similar situation.
“Switch to a defensive stance! Unite as much as possible! The opportunity will come!”
There is no knight among the enemies who can stop the head of the family. There will definitely be a breakthrough.
It was an order given based on expectations, but immediately the unbelievable sight of five enemy knights attacking the head of the family came into view.
The worst future he didn’t even want to think about was depicted before Heinkel’s eyes.
‘Am I going to lose? In war.’
The elderly knight Heinkel first had to fight against the feeling of despair that was growing in his mind.
* * * The process of the knights being pushed back was clearly visible to the infantry that followed.
Even though I couldn’t see the exact movements of each knight, I could clearly see that the assault of our knights was being blocked and the entire formation was being pushed back.
The soldiers’ footsteps gradually became heavier without realizing it.
The madness of the battlefield subsided little by little, and fear began to fill the empty space.
And the one who was slowing down the most was Rick.
‘Ugh.’
Since he worked in the inner city, he knew the circumstances of this war better than ordinary soldiers.
And the more I knew, the more scared I was.
‘The head of the family said that if he gets in the way, he will definitely lose…’
As his steps naturally became heavier, an incident occurred that made him tremble even more.
Pabababak.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Kwaaah!”
“Go!”
In a near miss, the soldiers marching in front of Rick fell down as a group.
A sudden rain of arrows.
An arrow landed right in front of Rick’s nose.
I was horrified to think that if I had taken one more step, my head would have been pierced straight through.
‘Ugh!’
Although his body was frozen with fear taking over his entire body, Rick was pushed forward against his will by the movement of his allies coming from behind.
“Oh no…”
The frightened tongue didn’t move as intended, and even if it did, there wouldn’t be anything he could do.
When I looked around, I saw soldiers walking with blue faces.
Your face is probably not that different from theirs.
‘No, no, no!’
Regardless of Rick’s panicked mind, the infantrymen marched steadily, even with faces full of fear.
After a while, the infantrymen clashed on the front line.
Kakang! visor! bang!
A loud metallic sound echoes from all directions and covers the battlefield.
The soldiers, overcome by evil, swung their weapons at each other.
“die!”
“You die, you son of a bitch!”
The fierce confrontation between the front-line troops began within a moment, and the McLane camp began to slowly fall back.
The number of troops with low morale has fallen.
It was a natural result since everything was unfavorable.
And that difference soon created devastation.
The first line to collapse was right in front of Hapilik.
“Ugh!”
“My arm, my arm!”
“Save me!”
We saw the arm of John, the baker’s son, cut off and the heart of Derek, the shepherd, pierced.
Phelps, a tenant farmer, was beheaded in one fell swoop, but his expression looked too painful to be considered a comfortable death.
Faces Rick knew all too well lay on the floor, covered in blood.
In addition, familiar faces that I had seen at least once were falling one after another.
“Ugh!”
As the front line collapsed and the situation unfolded in an instant, Rick felt like the Reaper had come right in front of him.
As I continued to scream, my body froze in place, and a window suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
“Ahh!”
I guess my survival instinct overcame my fear and I was barely able to avoid it.
A window passed by like the wind where my head was.
As he was stroking his cold chest, the spear struck Rick’s head.
“die!”
Wow.
“100 million!”
An enemy soldier with a face distorted like a demon was seen raising a spear above Rick’s fallen head.
“Ugh!”
Phew.
Rick let out a scream and rolled his body to the side, causing the spear to hit the floor.
I managed to avoid it once, but the attack didn’t end there.
“Die! Die! Die!”
Deep. Deep. Deep.
Rick had no choice but to roll his body frantically.
“Ugh!”
It was definitely my first time seeing this face, but I felt resentful of the guy who was slamming his window down like crazy, as if he had lost some enemy of Cheoncheonji.
Fuuuuk.
At that time, the spear finally stopped with a slightly strange sound.
“Get up now! Raise the spear!”
An ally who raises oneself up.
It was a face I felt like I had seen somewhere, but I couldn’t remember who it was in my dazed mind.
What is certain is that this person saved him.
He is said to be a benefactor who dealt with a crazy person.
“Thank you….”
Fuuuk.
And before the benefactor could even say hello, a hole was pierced in his throat.
“Cruck. Cluck.”
The benefactor falls down with a bizarre scream.
The sight of him holding out his hand to himself while holding on to the arrow that pierced his neck gave me goosebumps because it seemed as if he was blaming himself.
“Heeeeeek!”
Rick fell down, making a strange noise.
“I have to run away. I have to run away…”
He was caught up in that one thought and he hesitated while sitting down, but at some point he got up and started running like crazy.
But the run didn’t last long.
“Waaah!”
“Ugh!”
Rick, who suddenly came to his senses as the screams and shouts that filled the room were finally reaching his ears, stopped as if possessed and looked around with blank eyes.
Before I knew it, my field of vision was filled with enemy soldiers.
‘environment? Are you losing? Are you going to die like this? entire?’
Even to his eyes that did not know strategy, it already seemed like there was no chance of victory.
“Oh no. I will live. I will live!”
At least there seemed to be more people in the back wearing the same clothes as him.
Rick threw away his spear out of instinctive fear rather than rational judgment and headed a little further to the rear against his allies.
however.
“Waaah!”
“Charge!”
Farther back than where Rick was, the enemy horsemen bypassed the battlefield and attacked from behind and began massacring the soldiers in the rear.
“Ugh!”
“Back and back!”
“It’s the enemy!”
The slashes coming from the horse cut off the entire spear and crushed the human body like a toy.
“Uh huh? Oh, I can’t do this….”
Reapers reaching out with hands of death from front and back.
Rick’s legs trembled like aspen trees, having nowhere to go.
* * * Kwaaaaaang!
An unbelievable roar erupted from the clash of two long swords.
One of those who created the roar stumbled, and the other jumped straight towards its enemy.
However, the expression on the face of Padrick, the winner of the collision, was not good.
This is because the familiar scene of the workshop that will follow is immediately depicted.
As expected, spears and greatswords protruded from the left and right sides of the staggering enemy.
Then, as the long swords and short spears aimed at his rear were fiercely charged, Padric had no choice but to give up the opportunity he had once again.
“Damn you guys! Don’t you have any pride as a knight!”
Padric shouted, but he knew it was nonsense.
Naturally, the enemy’s only response was ridicule.
“what.”
“Leave me alone. I’m struggling on the verge of death.”
“You bastards, you are still skilled at advanced skills…! Yikes!”
With flashing red eyes full of murder, Padric swung his sword aimlessly, aiming for an opening.
Quaaaang!
However, while one superior was blocking his sword strike, others were swinging their swords again from all directions.
Skag.
A slight wound appeared again.
It was a pattern that had been repeated from before, but even though Padrick knew about it, he was unable to break it.
Chachaechaechaeng!
bang!
The offensive continued like a cogwheel without a break.
I don’t know how well they came together, but these guys were specialized in working together to deal with the strong.
No, they were the ones who trained to catch Padrick from the beginning.
“You damn bastards…”
I lamented in a growling voice, but I could see no way to escape this trap.
‘Even if you escape… it’s already too late.’
The stranded knights were barely holding on even though they were on the defensive, but the regular infantry had already begun to be overwhelmingly pushed back.
The cavalry in the rear were trying to catch the enemy, but it was the same for the enemy.
Rather, the enemy’s cavalry was already attacking.
“Ugh.”
Each and every painful scream from the soldiers and residents of the territory he heard from afar became a dagger and pierced his heart.
‘Hehehe.’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a suitable solution.
The weak fighting spirit raised in despair wavered helplessly in the face of the increasing wounds and the groans of the allies that covered the battlefield.
A weakened mind brought about cowardly thoughts.
‘okay. Logan escaped successfully. ‘Keep the family name alive.’
Suddenly.
“Ugh!”
“The Baron is tired!”
“Let’s get it over with!”
A thought that passed by in a split second led to the injury.
“These guys…”
gasp.
As despair engulfed my head, all that was left was to struggle.
Padric was holding his sword again, burning his last will to fight….
A sound that made even the faintest will to fight break was heard in his ears.
Doo doo doo doo.
‘cavalcade?’
The ground rang with the sound of the horse’s hooves galloping from the tail of the enemy army.
Although it wasn’t a very large number, it was enough to pour cold water on their final fighting spirit.
‘There were more troops?’
However, the unbelievable sight made Padrick doubt his eyes.
Pabababak!
“Ugh!”
The cavalry moving through the enemy’s rear without stopping and the enemy soldiers falling.
‘A friend?!’
The enemy’s rear quickly fell into chaos, and Padric saw the enemy knights panicking.
At the head of the cavalry, a young man with flowing red hair resembling himself was charging.
“Logan?!”
Something like a lie was happening in Padrick’s shaking vision.
* * * In the forest behind the battlefield.
Immediately after Tethron’s army passed, hundreds of cavalrymen, who had made a wide circle around the mountain range at perfect timing and followed behind the enemy lines, were hiding their presence.
They were hiding in the forest without even making a sound, but when the battle began, a small, muttering voice escaped.
“Not yet. “Wait.”
Logan gritted his teeth as he watched his father, Padric McLane’s attack, be blocked, but he calmly said,
‘So… did he get blocked by those guys and fall down?’
I felt like I was crying, remembering the information I heard in my past life, but it wasn’t the time yet.
Logan calmly observed the situation and controlled himself.
It was the same even when the knights were on the defensive and were quickly surrounded and pushed back.
“Umm.”
“Logan? Even now?”
“No, not yet.”
Even with only half the number, the McLane Knights were holding on well, but a few knights were not able to do so.
This was the case of one low-ranking knight who had the misfortune of missing a lance charge and being struck from side to side by two spears. .
“Grop! Damn it!”
He was one of the few knights who had recently started to approach him warmly.
The way he smiled while handing over the water bucket was still good in Logan’s eyes.
“Logan. Are you okay?”
“…Okay. It’s okay.”
The low voice, like a wild beast’s growl, didn’t seem okay at all, but Kai calmly closed his mouth. The
fact that he had already succeeded in ambushing with perfect timing only strengthened his faith in the young employer’s tactics.
However, the infantryman The moment the forces collided and the battle line collapsed, I had no choice but to open my mouth again.
“Logan. Even now… isn’t it?”
“Not yet.”
Blood flowed from Logan’s clenched lip.
He was also full of the desire to rush in at any moment, so he managed to maintain his senses.
Even if the faces were completely unfamiliar to him, his heart broke. It must have been painful, but there were many familiar faces among the fallen soldiers.
Cobb, a gardener who had helped maintain the dignity of a nobleman even in a barren territory, fell with his eye pierced by an arrow. The
servant Rio, who was now able to greet Cobb with a little smile, was frightened and avoided the falling Cobb before being attacked by the enemy. He collapsed after being decapitated by a knife.
The senses amplified by the Force Core were a painful sight that pierced his eyes to the point of resentment.
Logan forced himself to ignore the cruel sight and focused on the movement of the targets he had been thinking about.
‘Are we there yet?’
If he waited any longer, even if he won the war, his family’s strength would not be intact.
At that time, Logan’s worries deepened. Finally, the enemy’s cavalry, the target he had been waiting for, arrived at the place he wanted.
Aaaaa!
A scream erupted from the rear of the allies.
Logan The cry that seemed to pierce his chest became a signal.
“Now!”
Logan, letting out all the anger he had been holding in, spurted his horse.
Finally, with an earth-shattering sound, about three hundred horsemen rushed out of the forest and galloped towards the battlefield. did.
