Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 92

Episode 92 ‘What will it be like?’

Logan looked at the wizards preparing to cast magic with expectant eyes.

The personnel deployed were all members of the current Golem Magic Tower except for Victoria, who is still young.

Ten disciples, including Clayton and his best disciple, Greek Enan Truth, took out blue crystals of different sizes from their pockets.

It was a rare mineral magicite made from natural mana.

As they held the magic stones in their hands and began to chant spells in unison, it was clearly felt that the mana circles moving in their hearts were causing the surrounding energy to fluctuate.

Soon, the ten high-grade magic stones worth 100,000 gold in Clayton’s hands seeped into the ground.

Rumbling.

At the same time, 10 giant clay doll golems, each as tall as 5 meters, broke the ground and rose up.

“Wow!”

Clayton’s Golem is already famous in McLane, but many knights and soldiers were seeing it for the first time, so they naturally burst out in exclamation.

And people who saw Clayton’s giant golem during the previous dam construction were puzzled when they saw the golems that were much smaller than then.

‘Aren’t you going to use that giant golem then?’

Moreover, these golems had unusually large arms compared to their size, and instead of hands, they had large, blunt, shovel-like shapes.

But a smile appeared on Logan’s face as he watched the scene.

‘Just creating a golem created a 10m radius pit.’

I have a feeling that what Clayton boasted will easily come true.

Immediately afterward, starting with the golem created by Greek, 11 golems 2 to 3 meters tall were created in succession, and I gained confidence as I saw the pit become even wider.

With Logan’s satisfied nod, the golems began to move.

Rumbling.

“Huh?!”

“What are you doing?”

“spadework…?”

Completely contrary to most people’s expectations that they would rush towards the enemy lines, the golems began frantically digging the ground with their large, shovel-shaped hands.

“What is that doing?”

In front of the panicked McLane soldiers, the wizards of the Golem Tower continuously raised their mana.

While maintaining the golems with expensive magic stones, they had to help the golems with their ‘work’ with other magic.

“Taa!”

Starting with Clayton’s spirit, sweat already forming on his forehead.

Ugh.

Rumbling.

Every time the magicians’ mana was released, the ground the magic touched was breaking like soft tofu.

A distance of 500 meters from the enemy castle.

Golems and wizards began digging tunnels in places where arrows could not reach.

‘Now how will you react?’

There was a tension that couldn’t be hidden on Logan’s face as he looked at the enemies crouching on the castle wall.

“Wizard?!”

Jerome, the garrison commander, noticed the change before the soldiers did.

Because it was not possible to block the senior knight’s view with small arrows flying indiscriminately.

“Did they even have wizards?”

My heart, which had been relieved for a moment by the enemy’s foolish attack, started pounding again.

A wizard, or even multiple wizards, could have brought about enough variables to the battlefield.

However, the wizards’ subsequent actions confused him, who was very nervous.

“A tunnel?”

Jeric, who checked the wizards around the same time, also made eye contact with Jerome with a similar expression.

And we exchanged opinions quickly.

“They’re going to dig underground on that street? What are they doing?”

“That’s right. No matter how much magic you use, it won’t be enough for a day or two.”

“Then why are you doing that?”

“Well, those clay dolls are a bit of a problem…”

The brothers exchanged anxious glances, but then shook their heads at the same time.

“But it’s not like we’re going to open the gate and go out.”

“Well, we just have to hold on.”

The two brothers consoled their anxious minds and tried to ignore the variables.

However, as several hours passed and there was no significant movement from the enemy until the sun rose in the sky and began to set, my anxiety gradually grew stronger.

The wizards and golems that first appeared had long since disappeared into the tunnel they had dug.

There it is.

“You don’t even shoot a bow anymore?”

“What are they thinking?”

“Leave it alone. If you want to take our time, it’s okay for us.”

Jerome shook his head, trying hard to hide his anxiety.

And then.

Rumbling.

“Wow!”

“What?!”

“The castle walls shook…”

The moment the soldiers’ screams erupted along with the strong vibrations, the vague feeling of anxiety became a reality.

“The castle wall?!”

“What’s happening!”

Jerome shouted at his brother as he saw the soldiers becoming noisy.

“What are the chances of the castle wall collapsing?!”

“No way. That’s ridiculous.”

“Can’t you feel the shaking just now?”

“…Still, we must not step forward. The priority is to hold out until the main force arrives.”

“And what if the castle wall collapses? Why haven’t they attacked yet? What are they thinking?”

One unexpected shake divided the brothers’ opinions.

and.

“Let’s use only a small number of elites to attack the wizards. Without them knowing!”

Jerome, the more unstable one, was the commander of the defense of Tomodo Castle.

“Let’s just send the knights. Detour through the southern forest and try not to get caught as much as possible. If you feel any discomfort, just come back. Okay?”

“…Okay. Let’s take a stab at it.”

Eventually the brothers gave up waiting and decided to do something.

Tomodo Castle.

The western wall was full of tension due to the movements of the suspicious wizards who were all McLane, but on the other side of the wall, which was relatively free, only a minimal number of soldiers were on guard in case of an unexpected situation.

Among them, the southern wall, which had a forest not far away, was where more guard troops were deployed.

As everyone’s eyes turned to the west, the southern gate opened and a group of horsemen came out.

“What are the boundaries?”

“Nothing wrong.”

“There is no sign of the enemy.”

Twenty knights, led by Xeric, nodded at those words and rode at once.

The direction was south, and the sound of the horses’ hooves from the 20 cavalry could not have been heard beyond the western wall.

The 20 knights of the raid team, including Xeric, quickly entered the southern forest.

‘You can move into the forest up to the enemy’s rear.’

Of course, there was quite a distance between the enemy camp and the end of the forest, but it was much closer than the castle.

‘Hit and run quickly.’

If only the enemy wizards raided and retreated quickly as planned, there was a good chance.

It was common knowledge that a wizard could not fight a knight in close combat.

According to advance reconnaissance while the enemy had stopped approaching, there were not many security forces visible in the rear.

It was calculated that even if prepared, the enemy knights might retreat to the castle before they move.

Xeric became even more confident when he saw the entrance to a wide tunnel dug behind the enemy who had arrived after running through the forest.

‘Knight five. that’s enough.’

There weren’t that many troops guarding the entrance to the tunnel, and they weren’t even guarding the forest.

At that time, Gail, a senior knight who had joined the raid team, grabbed his shoulder.

“Wait a minute, Jerick. Could it be a trap? There are too few security forces.”

Gale certainly had a point, but it didn’t change anything.

“If it’s a trap, can we go back?”

“But…”

“If it smells strange, it jumps right away. But before that, it hits with all its might.”

There was no need to explain in detail that most of the enemy knights were believed to be in the main unit and that it would take time for them to arrive.

It was a time when desperate determination was needed rather than carelessness.

“let’s go.”

The moment when Xeric, ignoring his colleague’s mild opposition, orders to charge.

Sasasak.

The thick grass shook one after another, and a surprise attack team emerged from the forest.

There was no one doing anything stupid like cheering or shouting.

Doo doo doo doo.

The twenty charging cavalry quickly attracted the attention of the enemy.

The only thing that was unexpected was.

“It’s the enemy!”

“In the back! It’s a surprise attack!”

The fact was that as soon as the enemy discovered them, they jumped straight into the tunnel without even thinking about responding.

Considering the difference in numbers between twenty and five, it was a very natural reaction, but the fact that there was no hesitation made Jerick uneasy.

‘Trap…’

No, no. We have already confirmed the location of the enemy knights.

Even if there was a difference, only a few knights would be able to get to the rear here on time.

Besides, it was too late to back out now anyway.

Jerick gritted his teeth and strengthened his legs.

“Faster!”

With his shout, the speed of the Bipros knights became even faster.

Jeric, who was rushing towards the tunnel at the very front, felt something shooting out of the dim darkness inside the tunnel.

“Tch!”

Although it was a potentially dangerous threat as he was rushing at maximum speed, he did not slow down.

Ride it!

Rather, he rushed forward, hitting the flying objects with just his senses.

‘arrow?’

To be exact, it was the strange crossbow quarrel that was used to pound the castle walls in the early days of the war.

They were pouring down from the front one after another with a force more terrifying than expected.

However, he is a senior knight who is one of the strongest in Bipro.

As he raised the force to its full potential, his armor repelled the Quarel that was trying to dig in, and the advancing sword cut through all the approaching arrows.

However, no matter how much force I raised, I couldn’t even protect the horse.

Heehee!

dump.

“Damn it!”

The moment the horse fell, he had no choice but to stop charging, but he could not stop him from moving forward one step at a time.

However, not all colleagues had the same abilities.

Purruk!

Heehee!

“evil!”

Screams came not only from the words but also from the mouths of his colleagues who followed him.

I couldn’t turn around to block the pouring Quarrel, but judging by the vibrations coming from the armor and its power, it seemed that a common knight who could not strengthen his armor with the Force would not be able to fully withstand this shower of Quarrels.

‘But it’s still progress!’

If you think about it conversely, making an attack like this meant that there were no knights here capable of dealing with them.

‘I will definitely hold on to what has come to this.’

As my eyes became accustomed to the darkness of the crypt, the silhouettes gradually became visible. After seeing the 300 soldiers firing crossbows repeatedly and the wizards in robes hiding behind them, Zeric rushed towards them with a cruel smile.

The wizards will not be able to respond much because they have already come very close and the soldiers caught between the surprise knights and the wizards may be caught up in the attack.

Also, the fact that they are in a crypt that could easily collapse if they use magic carelessly will also prevent them from moving hastily.

I thought I could just deal with them and go back before reinforcements arrived.

But at that moment.

A piece of metal suddenly popped out in front of his eyes.

Quang!

Fortunately, the sword that was stretched out reflexively struck it.

“Oops!”

A heavy lump was seen rolling backwards, accompanied by a choking sound.

The guys were crouching in front of the guys firing the crossbow.

A man holding an iron shield as big as his body was blocking the way.

“Move!”

As I shouted, I felt most of the crossbowmen suddenly change direction and aim at me.

Xeric felt his heart grow cold and desperately raised his force to strengthen his armor.

Ta-da-da-da-dan!

thud. thud.

“profit!”

Too many quarrels struck his armor to be struck off with a sword.

If it had not been strengthened with the Force, it would have turned into a beehive in an instant.

No matter how senior a knight he was, he couldn’t help but be pushed back.

If these attacks continued, his safety could not be guaranteed, but fortunately he was not alone.

“Wipe them all out!”

One step later, fellow senior knight Gale came to the forefront with him and dispersed their attacks.

The subordinate knights that followed scattered to the left and right, diverting their attention and running forward.

Although the horse was lost, the knight could be faster than the horse over short distances.

Quaaaang!

“Ahh!”

In front of the crossbowmen, the guys who fearlessly raised their shields to the knight fell all at once.

The rain of Quarel that poured down again during that gap made his comrades retreat, but Xeric was confident.

After a few battles, it’s only a matter of time before we take them down and decapitate the wizards.

But that thought changed within a few seconds.

“Earth wall!”

“Swamp!”

With the shouts of the wizards lined up behind them, a wall of earth was erected in the place of the fallen soldiers, and the ground they were standing on turned into a swamp and their feet sank.

“What is this magic?”

While Xeric was taken aback by the unexpected attack of the wizards, who thought he would not be able to respond if he only narrowed the distance and placed the enemy soldiers between him.

“We’ve taken care of everything. Now, come play with us.”

A middle-aged knight with gray hair mixed with brown hair with a leisurely voice blocked their retreat along with the five knights who had disappeared.

‘Senior knight!’

At a glance, Jeric could tell that the middle-aged man was a strong man who had reached the same level as himself.

The number of knights is far short, but if they hold back and that strange crossbow is aimed at the back.

‘You could get stranded here!’

As soon as he understood the situation, he made a quick decision.

The surprise attack was a failure.

We had to conserve as much power as possible and return to the castle.

But just as he was thinking that.

– Charge the entire army!

A voice came from far outside the crypt, distorting his expression.
