Episode 380
“Please take care of Lord Rope.”
Ronian bowed his head at the voice he heard for the first time two days after being stationed at the southern wall.
“of course.”
Astro Haizen, one of the three vice-captains of the Knights Templar, a small, solid-looking middle-aged man who made eye contact with him, turned around after saying those words, but Ronian’s eyes still followed him. To be more precise, I was seeing a man who stood out among the imperial troops flocking beyond.
A slender knight riding a dazzling white horse and holding a spear that sparkles with a strange blue light.
‘Commander of the 3rd Corps in the western part of the Empire. Flashwind Malton Heights.’
Ronian slowly warmed up as he watched the hero who almost captured the southern wall ten days ago.
‘Did you say that his specialty is sharp attacks that strike like lightning?’
It was said that Astro Haizen, a paladin who was superior to most enemies of the same class based on his strong defense and remarkable recovery ability, was a master of quick attacks that had no choice but to be pushed aside.
But Ronian was relaxed. And there was a clear reason for that leisure.
Even now, just by recognizing the enemy in the distance, I felt like I could hear my brother’s voice in my mind.
– Malton Heights does not specialize in speed. That amazing speed is just a characteristic of his martial arts, but that martial arts…
The superhumans of McLane, especially himself and Viktor, were almost forced to memorize information about the empire’s corps commanders.
‘Where on earth did you get all that information?…’
Of course, the analysis was mainly focused on the eastern corps commanders, but just in case, we had a mock sparring with the western corps commanders’ special skills and characteristics in mind.
In the virtual sparring between the author and people with a specialty in speed, such as Blake Evendore, commander of the Eastern 3rd Corps, he was whisked away hundreds of times as if he were being toyed with by his older brother.
‘Especially that damn remnant.’
After that cruel bullying, Ronian was forced to learn how to deal with those who were faster than him.
– This should be enough to prepare for speed warfare. Now let’s take advantage of your strengths.
And the reason he was more confident than anything else was the difference in information.
‘Do you even know I exist?’
The only superhuman in the 3rd Corps was Malone Heights, and his presence alone was enough to overcome Astro’s previous inferiority.
Moreover, if we can defeat Malton Heights alone, we will be able to easily cover the difference in strength between us and the 3rd Corps.
Of course, there might be variables, so I couldn’t let my guard down.
First, those human bombs that I heard about from Shingeom. But fortunately, I also heard how to deal with it.
– I don’t know how that’s possible, but if you see it, avoid it immediately. These are things that will not last long and will self-destruct anyway.
There is no doubt that this decision was made after the sword was in danger of losing his life.
The problem was the second variable.
‘Sister-in-law…’
Only the sister-in-law and Bourdel were left on the eastern wall where the sword spirit and the 1st corps commander were. Even though Geomsoun could not recover from his serious injuries, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Bourdelle’s long-distance sniping ability was certainly amazing, but it had an extreme disadvantage in that even two top knights could not guarantee it at close range.
In addition, instead of the elites of the 5th corps helping the corps in the east, west, south, and north, the corps commander and the best elites were said to be guarding the magic circle created by the magician of the cold wind. In the worst case scenario, your sister-in-law may have to deal with the sword spirit, the 1st corps commander, and even the 5th corps commander alone.
Of course, due to my sister-in-law’s nature, she would not break down easily no matter what happened, but I couldn’t help but worry.
‘Clear the flashlight as quickly as possible and go to the eastern wall.’
Ronian sharpened his mind, thinking only about that.
He and Victoria, who are deployed to the south and west, help the vice commanders take out the enemy corps commander as quickly as possible and help the eastern wall.
Because that was their basic strategy now.
“come!”
The moment the knights of the imperial army soared over the castle walls, Ronian took the lead before anyone else to greet the enemies.
“Wow!”
“die!”
“Get lost!”
Imperial troops coming over the castle walls without hesitation.
In a scene of madness overflowing with all kinds of noise, Ronian visited Malton Heights, frantically cutting down the knights of the empire.
And soon, Vice-Captain Astro was faced with a blue thunderbolt.
Wow!
In the fierce battle between the superhumans who devastated the surrounding area, no sound was heard other than the crash and explosion sounds of weapons.
A space full of roaring sounds without even the usual spirit.
Just like Vice-Captain Astro, who has been more reticent than usual over the past few days, perhaps the enemy is also of that style.
Ronian thought such nonsense and entered the space of superhumans, their own world.
Teong.
As I approached closer, blowing away the helmet of the deceased in the aftermath of the collision with one hand, the compatibility of the two people was clearly visible.
Vice-captain Astro holds up a white shield and blocks the pouring blue thunderbolts. Behind the torso-sized kite shield, there were heavy eyes watching for any gaps that might arise.
However, the mace in his other hand rarely hit the enemy, and that was because the spearman moved forward, backwards, left, and right like lightning, firing attacks frantically.
The movements are so spectacular that it makes you think the body has 4 arms and 8 arms. It was a martial art that clearly showed why it was called a spear that emits flash of light.
Of course, Vice-Captain Astro, who managed to block all those attacks, also looked amazing.
But all those sights only instilled Ronian with even more confidence.
‘It’s all within the expected range.’
If the enemy has 4 bodies.
‘All you have to do is wipe out all four of them.’
The moment his heart changed, Ronian’s swords multiplied to 7, and soon those swords became 7 each, making a total of 49 swords, and cut through the entire space where Malton Heights existed.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.
“Oops!”
Malton Heights was suddenly caught in a storm of swords and was thrown out, covered in blood.
The narrow, slitted eyes that matched his sharp expression were wide open in astonishment, but even Astro Haizen, who was supposed to attack together, was looking at Ronian with blank eyes.
“Vice-captain!”
Ronian, who unleashed the maximum power of his Galaxy Sword in an instant, rushed toward Malton one beat late and screamed.
Only then did Astro come to his senses and swing his mace towards Malton.
Paaaaang.
But perhaps the opportunity had already been missed, and Mace was only cutting through the empty space where Malton had disappeared.
And before we knew it, Malton, who had disappeared, appeared about 10 meters away behind Astro and Ronian in a straight line.
“What kind of guy are you!?”
Although his entire body was covered in blood, his strength did not seem to have diminished at all.
The wound also seemed to have missed most of the vital areas, so Ronian had no choice but to swallow his regret. It seemed wrong to end it with a surprise attack.
But there was no time to delay.
Ronian’s eyes were fixed on the ‘Red Arrow’ that suddenly appeared at that moment and was striking down the knights outside their entire power.
An arrow that catches a knight. Although it was the enemies who fell from that arrow, Ronian’s red eyebrows twitched slightly as he saw it.
Because that thing shouldn’t be here right now.
“Vice-captain, you’re good at sex techniques, right?”
“I see… Is that so?”
Leaving behind Astro, who was blankly answering a question that did not fit the situation, Ronian went straight towards the enemy.
“Surely you won’t run away? Commander of the Empire’s Legion?”
As Ronian took a stride forward with an unsuitable taunt, Malton Heights also gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
“It looks like you achieved it through a surprise attack, but you can’t see anything!”
“Okay. So let’s get started quickly.”
Ronian is shaking his sword angrily.
At that sight, a spark flew out of Malton Heights’ eyes.
At the same time, his body, which seemed to be blurring, suddenly appeared next to Ronian.
He looks even faster than when he faced Astro a while ago.
Malton’s eyes, which reappeared as if all his anger up until now had been an act, were not calm but sharp.
On the other hand, Ronian, who was shaking his sword with a sour expression on his face, swung his sword half a beat late with a very surprised expression.
‘bantling.’
The moment when a bitter smile appeared on Malton’s lips and the spear shooting out blue lightning was about to pierce Ronian’s side.
Burbubbubbuk.
Dozens of orange swords protruded from Ronian’s body and intersected with blue lightning.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.
The corpses of the knights and soldiers caught up in the shock wave covered Astro’s eyes for a moment, and the vice-captain of the Knights Templar could not help but gape at the unbelievable sight that was revealed before his eyes.
“Queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her it it it it it her it her it it up…]] up….”…”….’….’….)…” It looked like it had pierced its left side. Ronian also looked like he was seriously injured, but Malton Heights was whimpering and breathing his last breath with a sword stuck in his neck.
“Huuuuup sum!”
Push shoo shoo.
Ronian pulled out the spear stuck in his side with a frown and looked back with an almost ghost-like face.
“Ugh Astro!”
“Yes yes!?”
“Please give me treatment. Quickly!!”
That strong spirit awakened Astro’s dazed mind.
“Oh yes! Yes, I understand.”
The silent vice-captain of the Temple Knights hurriedly raised his sacred power with a look on his face as if he had lost his soul.
Wooooow.
Soon, a sacred white light enveloped the pale-faced Ronian.
Serious injury caused by an auror. It was not a wound that could be easily healed even with high-ranking holy techniques, but at least the visible wound was roughly healed and the bleeding was definitely stopped.
“Whoa.”
Ronian allocated one of the ‘seven souls’ to block the remnants of the Auror left behind by Malton, and allocated another soul to prevent the wound from opening further. It was a temporary measure, and it was a loss that blocked more than 30% of the force, but it was the best for now.
Soon, Ronian turned his attention to the arrow stuck in Malton Heights’ back.
An arrow with red aura scattering little by little.
It was an arrow that came in at perfect timing at the moment of clash.
Thanks to that arrow, Ronian was able to easily capture Malton Heights, and because of that arrow, he had no choice but to adopt the ignorant strategy of giving flesh and taking bone.
In the best case, Bourdelle’s efforts in this direction meant that the eastern wall was cleared early, but in the worst case, it was the opposite.
And when you think about common sense, the probability of the latter was too high.
‘My sister-in-law is in danger. At times like this, I’m so jealous of Victor.’
The wound left by Malton’s attack was caused by the auror left in the wound causing excruciating pain. If I let my guard down even for a moment, my eyes would spin.
“Aaaah!”
Ronian tried to forget the pain by letting out a scream that other people couldn’t understand.
Astro, who was diligently treating his wounds, looked at him in surprise.
“Please come back here.”
Ronian, who didn’t even have time to explain, said that and immediately started running towards the east.
Was that a wound like that?
Astro was so embarrassed by the incomprehensible sight that he barely managed to spit out an answer that couldn’t be heard until after Ronian’s appearance had completely disappeared.
“Of course, Lord Rope.”
When he realized that he was saluting his superiors without realizing it, he lowered his hand in shock, which was destined to become a dark story in the future.
Of course, this is only possible if we win this war.
