Episode 464: Half of the 300,000-strong army stopped in place, and the other half began to move to attack the original monarch.
And the blue meteors raining down as if punishing those traitors(?) were turning the western plains into ruins.
Wow!
Kwaaaaang!
Rumbling.
“Aaaahhh!”
“What is this!”
“It’s a divine punishment!”
“help me!”
The screams of imperial soldiers who found their identity as their brainwashing was broken by conflicting orders filled the field.
McLane’s soldiers, who were mesmerized by the terrible sight, soon discovered several streaks of blue meteors flying toward them and were astonished. Four of the dozen meteors were still flying toward the walls of Ruspelheim.
One branch each on the northern and southern walls.
And on the western wall where the main army was positioned, there were two lines.
Each one was even a lump the size of an average mansion.
“Oh, no!”
“shit!”
“Oh God!”
The feast of destruction brought about by the other streaks of the meteor was now about to strike them.
Most of the soldiers, sensing a terrible end, close their eyes tightly.
– Kyaaaaa!
Along with a horrifying roar, a beam of dark red light poured down towards the shooting stars.
“uh!?”
While the soldiers, who had no idea what was going on, were panicking, among the four meteors, two of them heading north and south collided with the dark red beam of light and exploded in the air.
Flashing.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
And the two meteors falling against the western wall were intercepted by a thin beam of red, orange, and gray light just before they hit the wall.
– Wow!
Rumbling.
Between the shock that shakes the castle walls just in the aftermath and the flashing light.
– Awwwwww!
The descendant of the divine beast and the king of the demon beasts roared in victory against the backdrop of the twilight sky.
A three-headed wolf several times larger than most people and superhumans standing next to it.
The moment their shadows caught the eyes of the soldiers on the wall, cheers erupted from all directions.
“It’s poetry divine water!”
“These are corps commanders!”
“Wow!”
Overcoming the crisis led to a rise in morale again.
“We win!”
“Let’s destroy the empire!”
“Shoot!”
“Throw it!”
The offensive against the imperial army, which was in chaos, could not help but become more intense.
It’s truly a mess.
After seeing the imperial army split into two, the imperial knights also had no choice but to split into two right in front of the castle wall.
Those who want to return to the base and protect the emperor, and those who want to attack the walls according to existing orders.
Seeing the enemy knights in such confusion, the McLane army did not miss the opportunity and began pouring out heavy fire.
Kwaaaang!
bang!
Faba Park.
“Smash it!”
“Let’s end the Empire!”
“Kill them all!”
Heavy rain of red stone and quarrel.
“Holy shit!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Greg Paderson, commander of the Western 1st Corps, who emitted auras from his entire body to block the Quarrels and Liberatios pouring at him, finally came to his senses and screamed.
“The entire army will occupy the walls first!”
A voice full of force was transmitted to the imperial knights even amidst the roar of the battlefield.
And those words were received by Philes Delpione, commander of the 4th Corps.
“Your Majesty is a God! We do our job!”
The words of Greg, the highest rank among the corps commanders, and Philes, who could be said to be the idol of the Empire’s female soldiers, quickly calmed down the flustered Imperial Knights.
Of course, even so, the situation of the war remained dark.
The Western Knights, with over 10,000 remaining after being exhausted during the war with the 10 Western countries, was clearly a powerful force.
Under normal circumstances, they would have been able to deal with any number of legions from other countries, but the MacLine army, with its powerful superhumans and new weapons, could not be defeated by them alone.
just.
“If we make a way, Your Majesty will bring victory!”
I can only believe in the performance shown by the emperor who reappeared not long ago.
In fact, Greg’s command was almost unreasonable.
However, for the knights of the empire, loyalty to the emperor was a basic trait that they had to possess, so their reckless faith quickly began to gain favor.
“Attack!”
“Occupy the walls!”
The imperial knights, led by Greg, reorganized their formation and began to climb the castle wall.
[The mages of the Kassel Mage Tower are not visible. The Mage of the Cold Wind and the Mage Corps are with the Emperor, so leave that to Victoria and I. The rest of the superhumans should deal with the corps commanders according to their rank!]
Hearing Logan’s message, the swordsmith’s eyebrows twitched as if he sensed something.
‘…You lost your composure.’
Even if the message was meant to be delivered only to superhumans, the recent Logan would have controlled each spirit wave individually and delivered different content.
It was probably the aftermath of the blow that eliminated the enormous fireball at the start of the battle and the incident that turned the imperial army around.
‘It definitely brought us victory.’
I felt anxious.
It is not that I doubt the power of the disciple and ruler who has already crossed into unknown territory.
However, as I was able to partially manipulate the power of the soul, I was able to guess the power of those blue meteors that turned the field upside down and their owner with my expanded senses.
‘Your Majesty must have used his characteristics in that first blow. And…’
If the emperor can use magic like that again, it wouldn’t be surprising if the tide of the war suddenly turns again.
The emperor has clearly reached ridiculous heights.
Just bouncing off one of the dozens of meteors a moment ago made me feel nauseous. At least I was able to do it with the help of other colleagues.
In the first place, I wondered what the meaning of the military was when there was someone who could use magic like that in succession.
‘No, probably not. ‘I won’t be able to use it again.’
That is why he must have brought an army.
That is a reasonable inference.
The swordsman tried to soothe his anxiety and tried to focus his mind on the imperial knights who had started climbing the castle wall.
To be exact, the five enemy corps commanders who gathered together and started running.
‘There are two advanced Auror users and three intermediate levels.’
Fortunately, there was no one powerful enough to worry about.
I heard that among the western corps commanders, the only ones of higher rank are the 1st corps commander and the female knight, the 4th corps commander.
First, we had to deal with those two quickly.
“I will be the commander of the 1st Corps. And as promised, the queen will handle blood painting…”
“Geomgong, I have to go see Her Majesty.”
It’s a war situation right now.
I was embarrassed by the opposing opinions that arose while giving orders, but I couldn’t bear to shout. After all, the red-haired queen in front of him was his superior.
Moreover, her guess about the king’s condition would not be wrong.
I could guess what he wanted to say.
Since they are a couple, they probably felt something similar.
And again.
“Krrr.”
The divine beast Tyr, who kept looking at where the king was, was also pushing the queen’s back with the bridge of his nose, urging her to go there quickly.
“…Your Majesty said that defeating Philes Delpione, the symbol of our female soldiers, would be good for the morale of our troops. The Queen also agreed.”
“But I can’t see the cold wind or the magicians from the Kassel Mage Tower. If it’s just them, wouldn’t it be okay for me to leave?”
The queen, who, as a former female knight, must not know the importance of military discipline, keeps saying something different.
As his shaking blue eyes looked directly at him, another voice joined in next to him.
“I should also go to His Majesty Logan. My calling is not to deal with the Imperial Army, but to the Kassel Tower.”
A new sword using the pseudonym Heyman.
The swordsman knew that he too was a person who wielded the power of the soul.
‘You may have felt something different from me.’
The vague anxiety I felt grew bigger and bigger, and eventually my mind began to lean toward that direction.
flaw.
‘Since the monarch acts according to intuition rather than planning, does his subjects do the same?’
I sighed, but it was better than if His Majesty were to go wrong.
‘It’s not like there’s a lack of power.’
The swordsman eventually nodded.
“Yes, go.”
“thank you!”
Eilen’s expression brightened for a moment and she ran towards where her husband was.
The swordsman, who was staring blankly at Shinsu and Heyman following right behind him, soon turned his gaze to the side.
“We organize this place. Is there anyone who feels like it’s not enough?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“That’s enough.”
“It’s overflowing.”
“Leave it to me!”
“I will follow your orders.”
Victor, Ronian Luther and Wicken Bourdel.
Even if we exclude Latin and Gustav, who are superhumans from other countries and are commanding their troops on the other side of the wall, there are three top-level, upper-level, and middle-level ones.
It was a force that was more than enough to deal with the western corps commanders.
“Brudel, you will assist everyone from a distance, and the rest will take charge of the designated opponent. Finish them off as quickly as possible.”
“yes!”
McLane’s superhumans, who had made every effort, soon dispersed to meet the imperial corps commanders surging over the castle walls.
* * * chin.
As soon as Greg climbed up the castle wall, he felt some of the force in his body being restricted.
But I wasn’t that embarrassed. His Majesty the Emperor, who showed off his rookie side in Regal, anticipated this situation.
Artifacts that could nullify magic circles were given to him, the corps commander, other superhumans, and even the highest level knights.
Although there were only about a hundred in number, it was important that those who possessed them were the empire’s elite.
Ugh.
As soon as the artifact was activated, the power binding the force disappeared.
Nevertheless, Greg deliberately ‘postponed’ the stumble.
“Ugh!”
Hoping that the approaching superhuman swordsman of McLane would let down his guard by mistakenly thinking that the enemy in front of him was under the influence of the magic circle.
And as if the smoke had worked, the body of the swordsman rushing towards him only became faster and faster without the slightest hesitation.
‘come.’
He himself had reached the peak of advanced auror user status.
Even a swordsman known to be of the highest level could kill someone if he were to let his guard down.
Of course, I didn’t think it would be easy.
‘Give up your side or arm and take your life.’
The end comes from the first attack.
That’s how I make up my mind.
‘hmm?’
The approaching body of the swordsman continued to accelerate, and soon only a faint red aura remnant remained.
A speed that even his superhuman eyesight could not trace to the reality.
‘this!’
The moment when your hair stands on end.
Gurgling.
Along with the sound of lightning, Greg felt burning heat near his neck.
Red thunderbolt.
That was the last thing Greg Patterson saw alive.
Philes Delpione, nicknamed the Flower of Blood, was also planning a similar operation to Greg.
No, all the corps commanders were thinking the same thing.
The number of imperial superhumans is significantly lower than that of McLane.
Therefore, it was a strategy to catch the enemy off guard and win the game at once.
That’s why she internally cheered when a young knight with red hair and red eyes approached me.
‘Ronian McLane.’
The younger brother of the enemy king and another genius Auror user.
And the estimated level is at least intermediate Auror user level.
Even at the highest level, it would have been a high level, so he wasn’t originally going to be her opponent.
‘It’s a little disappointing that I’m not a swordsman.’
Rather, it was better in that I could safely upgrade my major.
“Ugh!”
Philes laughs inwardly when he sees Ronian slowing down as he approaches, acting as if his movements are slow.
‘Seven’ orange giant swords, dozens of meters long, shot out from the hands of the enemy who stopped at a certain distance.
‘what!’
I was shocked and belatedly tried to gather strength in my whole body.
Wow!
The orange giant’s swords cut through the entire space where Philes was standing, crushing her entire body without leaving any room for it.
The brave warriors who survived on the Western Front. The fates of the five commanders of the Western Legion of the Empire were very similar.
Among them, Dakota Allen, commander of the 3rd Corps, was hit by a gray Auror bead and disappeared into dust without leaving any part of his body behind.
Only 2nd Corps Commander Terry Godwin and 7th Corps Commander Alex Bowieman fought hard against the giants and wind auror users, but even they were sprayed by the red aurors’ arrows and coordinated attacks.
“That’s ridiculous.”
“The commanders of the corps so easily…”
The morale of the imperial knights who had overcome the bombardment of red stones and crossbows and climbed onto the castle wall began to drop quickly.
