Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 439

Episode 439: An unexpected thing actually happened.

For the Empire, the invasion of McLane was exactly that.

In particular, for Zipen Trey, who was certain to become the commander of the 1st corps before or after the current commander of the 2nd corps in the eastern part of the empire, it was like being struck by lightning.

Moreover….

“The main forces of those in Kyle Castle and the fortresses to the north and south are heading in the direction of our corps garrison! They are heading towards the 2nd corps, 3rd corps, 1st corps, and 6th corps, respectively.”

“These crazy people! They are calling for orders on their own!”

Zipen screamed in anger.

“If they have come out of the nest on their own, we must crush them. Gather an army! I will teach you how vain the victory achieved with magic circles and natural disasters is! Request for troops to be sent to Ruspelheim as well!”

“The enemy’s advance speed is strangely fast. There is a high probability that their offensive will begin before Ruspelheim’s troops arrive!”

“what!?”

Due to the defeat in the McLane War, the strength of the eastern legions had already been cut in half. If all the troops were gathered together and even the troops of King Dongik, who had lost his master, were combined, it would have been at the level of five corps.

“What are their troops!?”

“The fortress troops heading to the 1st and 6th corps are approximately 50,000 to 60,000, and the McLane troops coming here to Rupen are 30,000. About 50,000 troops from other small countries are heading to the 3rd corps garrison.”

“under…?”

My head was pounding.

The 1 3 6th Corps is currently nothing more than a remnant of defeated soldiers without a corps commander.

In order to restore the scale, orders were given to recruit new soldiers at each garrison, but the period was too short.

It would be fortunate if the newly selected recruits did not interfere with the battle. In effect, this means that with 20,000 troops, you have to face an army that is 2 to 3 times larger.

There was just one catch.

“…There are only 30,000 people coming this way?”

It was a very strange number.

You mean you have the smallest number of troops in a place where you are relatively healthy?

It may be a throwaway hand or a low probability bet.

It would be better to ignore the small nation’s allied forces and intercept the troops heading here with the 3rd Corps and then join them elsewhere…

“The king of the enemies, who is presumed to be the Auror Master, is included in the army coming this way.”

…Damn it.

Zipen immediately canceled the counterattack plan he had in mind.

“…Retreat all legions in the eastern military garrison, including us, to Ruspelheim. Gather the Dongyik Kingbu’s troops there as well!”

“Your Excellency, that is beyond your authority…”

“I take responsibility. Shut up and do as I say!”

“Yes, I understand.”

“We will compete there in Ruspelheim with our military superiority.”

Although they don’t have the red stone, which is their biggest weapon, the Empire also has a repeating crossbow.

Also, due to its characteristics, the crossbow is not useful for intercepting enemies in highlands in lowlands. Just as they had made terrible use of the walls, which had been considered almost useless in the era of overflowing knights, this time it was their turn to use them.

‘You just have to endure it. Until His Majesty the Emperor returns from conquering the West.’

It was a very passive operation compared to the outcry and shouting when I first heard the news.

But whatever it is, it’s better than dying.

Jipen had only wielded a spear his whole life, but he was a corps commander in the empire. Although he may have pride, he was not stupid.

At least he thought so himself.

Until a week later, when he joined almost simultaneously all the troops under his command in the fields three days away from Ruspelheim.

“Surely our imperial army is well trained.”

Our allies filled the field. The army arrayed around the setting sun could not be seen in the slightest disorder.

The lieutenants also nodded at Zipen Trey’s words with a happy smile.

“That’s right. The Empire’s discipline is still strict.”

They did not expect that the troops of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th Corps, which were located at different distances, would come together like this on the road to Ruspelheim.

But that smile didn’t last even a few hours.

“The enemies are only half a day away….”

“They are following close behind!”

The moment the top-ranking knights temporarily in charge of controlling the corps said that with dark faces in the largest barracks built in the field for overnight stays, Zipen’s expression also hardened.

“…Larry. What is Logan McLane’s current location?”

Adjutant Larry also seemed to think of something in that cruel tone, and his complexion turned pale in an instant.

“…It is estimated to be half a day’s distance from our main university.”

The moment the answer was given, a cold chill flowed through the barracks.

bang!

“Fuck!! What…? What? An army of tens of thousands of people? Us versus the Ares Empire!?”

The answer to Zipen’s angry shout came from outside the barracks.

– Go, Your Excellency!

A knight runs into the barracks with an urgent voice.

“It is said that the joined enemies are suddenly speeding up their advance!!”

At that report, the faces of everyone in the barracks became as hard as stone.

“The sun is going to set soon?”

“this time!?”

“Everyone clear out the barracks! We must retreat even if it means staying up all night! Tell Drexler and Bering to come out of Ruspelheim immediately!”

As Zipen continued to shout, the movements of the imperial army began to become more urgent.

* * *

“Good job Damian. Leave the rest to me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Haha.”

Damian’s face looked pale as he smiled and answered.

It was worth it.

An ordinary person with no force or mana stayed in bed for over a week and controlled the movements of hundreds of thousands of troops. This is done by analyzing the enemy’s detailed reactions through three measures and then giving detailed instructions to their movements.

Logan sent the exhausted Damian back with an escort and looked around again.

Purr.

To be precise, several horsemen approached at the same time as if they had timed it on purpose.

“Thank goodness, Your Majesty, you look healthy.”

“Yes. Thank you for your concern.”

On the right, the teacher, who had completely regained his color, smiled and spoke.

“It’s been a really long time, Your Majesty.”

“…I’m sorry for not greeting you often, father.”

“No, father. My brother, no, your majesty was also seriously injured.”

“So, it’s even more annoying… Hmm, since your Majesty is busy with construction, I’ll visit you more often from now on.”

“father!”

On the left, my father and younger brother, whom I had not seen in a long time, were engaging in comic talk.

“All female soldiers have completed the inspection. The rate of dropouts is lower than that of the main unit.”

“The magic corps is still alive and well. You can march right away.”

After that, my wife and Victoria, who had come to check on the female army and the magic corps respectively, reported, and next to them, Tyr was patting Victoria’s robe and rubbing her face.

“Kung!”

At the sight of Tyr raising his head as if telling her to trust him or not to worry, a smile appeared on Victoria’s tense face.

With an arrogant attitude, Tyr walked in front of Eilen and jumped up and down, twirling his tail like a pinwheel.

Until Eileen stroked her head and tickled her tummy.

‘If he does that, he’s really just a puppy…’

Logan looked at the guy with absurd eyes, and then an even more absurd scene unfolded.

“It’s been a while, skinny guy. You seem to be even thinner now, but are you still standing properly in the morning?”

“Are you that kind of idiot even when you become a corps commander? And that too in front of your Majesty!”

The rivals of the old Grandia, who met for the first time in a long time, stopped greeting Logan and grabbed each other by the collar.

Bourdelle and Viktor, who were looking at him with their tongues clucking, felt his gaze and bowed their heads politely.

What followed.

“Nice to meet you. Greetings to the Sun of Terronan’s Latin Lawrence McLane.”

An old Auror user with a middle-aged face got off his horse and bowed his head at 90 degrees, showing the utmost courtesy.

“Caro… adventure. Greetings to Teronan’s Gustav Clemen, the conqueror of the eastern continent.”

The mage of Teronan, the former Kingdom of Charon, who was glaring at Eilen, lowered his head in shock when he caught Logan’s gaze.

He shows the same courtesy as an Auror user who is said to have an iron wall.

However, for Logan, rather than his formal appearance, the one word he said seemed to sit heavily in his heart.

‘The loser of the East.’

It can be said that the forces currently here are the elite of the Eastern Continent. And the one who brought it all together was himself.

If you think about it that way, it’s not a big mistake.

“…If you really want to hear that sound, you have to clean up the empire first.”

Logan deliberately muttered out loud as if he was making up his mind.

‘The primary target is Ruspelheim. And before that…’

Capture half of the dispersed Eastern Legion.

visor.

Logan pulled out his sword with a determined expression and pointed at the setting sun with the tip of the sword.

The moment everyone’s eyes are fixed on him.

“We will catch up with the fleeing invaders within a day. And we will hold them responsible for invading McLane!!”

The majestic shout that echoed across the field caught the ears of tens of thousands of soldiers.

“Follow me!”

“Wow!”

With shouts pouring in, McLane’s large army began to advance.

Although they had already marched for nearly 10 days chasing the enemy, they were exhausted, but most of them had witnessed the deaths of numerous comrades right next to them in the last war.

Anger and revenge against the invaders became better fuel than any rest.

Plus.

[The left army is a little late. Adjust your speed.]

Whenever I felt a little tired, the monarch’s voice echoing in my head would wake me up.

It felt as if the king was shouting right in front of me.

There was no soldier who could not come to his senses even in the face of that bloody feeling.

– Your Majesty is watching over me!

That tension acted as a more powerful stimulant than any other drug. In fact, the spirit wave contained a force that stimulated the Force, even if only slightly, so much so that some soldiers felt as if they were truly recovering from fatigue.

In that situation, the ‘Doctors of the Healer Guild’ even periodically sprinkled divine power on the exhausted soldiers.

“May the gods bless you…”

The last official command given by the missing saint gave McLane’s soldiers the strength to continue their advance.

Of course, the march that lasted all night inevitably maximized the fatigue of the soldiers, but the price was high.

The moment when dawn comes and they discover enemy troops who look much more exhausted than them at a glance.

“It’s them!”

“It’s the Imperial Army!”

The suffering that lasted all night turned into a burning anger that once again added strength to my trembling legs.

“All armies advance!”

And the moment when the strongest superhuman on their monarchy continent begins to run at the forefront, emitting golden aura.

– Wow!

With a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, McLane’s large army began to rush towards the fleeing imperial army.

“Counterattack, counterattack! Everyone turn around!”

Zipen Trey, with a pale complexion, turned his horse around and raised his lance.

It was a moment when the spear he had been training for his entire life felt unusually heavy, but even so, he had high hopes that his weapon was this gigantic spear.

‘No matter how much he is an Auror Master, ….’

I knew that this was an absurd expectation.

But if I didn’t brainwash myself like that, I would fall first.

“Knights, turn around! We will break the enemy’s brunt!”

Zipen shouted loudly and began to run ahead with his subordinates.

But what caught his eye was…

Gwaaaaaaaa!

“Aaaah!”

“Save me! !”

The bodies of our allies exploding with numerous explosions.

Paba-b-b-b-bak!

There was only a feast of black quarrels pouring down.

“Damn it! Let’s shoot!

Let’s shoot!” “Aaaah!”

“Aaaah!”

“Again! Run away…!” The sight of troops falling like hedgehogs without even being able to use the same weapons properly unfolded before Zipen’s eyes.

All-night march .

As he was in a situation of running away, the strict discipline of the imperial army had already collapsed the moment it encountered the enemy.

In that situation.

[I found it.]

A low voice rang in his ears through the commotion of the battlefield.

His eyes were embarrassed. A golden horseman was seen compressing the distance at an insane speed.

“Damn it!”

It was too late to dodge.

Ji-Pen forced out the fear that had begun to fill his heart with an expletive.

‘I am Zi-Pen Trey, the master of geochang. ‘

Even the Aura Master can’t fight me in a horseback charge.

He encouraged himself with lies he wouldn’t believe, and started accelerating towards the rapidly approaching golden light.

Quaaaaang. The Rottweiler,

which had received his red aura, kicked as if it was going to explode the ground. Rushed to the front.

Doo doo doo.

“I am Jipen…!”

Jipen, which had become a single red meteor, collided head on with a golden meteor approaching several times faster than that.

– Gaaaaaaaaa!

And he turned into a bloody mess. They were scattered across the battlefield.

“The enemy commander has been defeated!”

Logan’s shout echoed throughout the battlefield, further accelerating the already waning battle.

“Commander…!”

“Everyone jump!”

“Aaaah!”

Is it fortunate or unfortunate for Zipen that the corps he devoted his entire life to did not see the imperial army collapse in a miserable way?

The Macline-Empire war that started again heated up the world with the annihilation of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th corps in the eastern part of the empire. it started.
