Episode 97
“These are the guys who ran away! Let’s kick their butts again!”
“yes!”
With the knight’s excited shout, the soldiers on the castle wall moved busily again.
The soldiers, who gained confidence from their daytime victory, were able to force themselves to forget the fear of death with that memory.
In addition, the relatively bright moonlight and starlight made it possible to clearly see the outlines of enemies charging beyond the torches.
The Knights of Bipros are still charging at the forefront.
However, unlike during the day, they were holding in their hands either iron or wooden shields of different shapes, no matter where they had been obtained.
In addition, only a few are rushing towards the western wall.
The Bypros army had already moved in to the north, south, or even east.
Unlike the first battle, it appeared to be properly defended.
Just looking at it, it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to get over it as easily as before.
‘The soldiers have no choice but to scatter further.’
It was inevitable that the power of the shot would be reduced as a result.
Logan sighed softly at the thought that it was going to be a long night.
Doo doo doo doo.
“Waaah!”
The enemy, who rushed forward shouting and shouting along with the loud sound of horses’ hooves, came into range.
The soldiers, who had been waiting for the command with sweaty hands, began firing crossbows at the signal.
Pabababak!
“Aaaah!”
“Ugh!”
Sharp screams echoing through the night sky.
However, the complexions of the soldiers shooting the crossbows, the knight commanding them, and Logan were becoming increasingly hard.
Normally, the power of a crossbow was much greater than that even at night.
The target was too large to target the entire army rather than a specific individual, and on the other hand, the target had to deal with arrows flying in the dark.
However, only the first few people fell behind.
No matter how much we prepared with shields, it was very different from the daytime when there were over 50 casualties.
even.
Ride it!
“I blocked it!”
Even some of the cavalrymen who followed right behind the knights showed off their spirit by blocking the crossbows with their shields.
It was even more strange considering that most of them were carrying nothing more than crude wooden shields.
‘How can that happen?’
Even though the force was scattered more than during the day and the power of the Japanese invasion was reduced, there were too many enemy troops than expected approaching the castle wall without any significant damage.
And it wasn’t until they got closer that Logan could sense something foreign.
“Magic!”
“yes?!”
“It’s magic! They’re using magic!”
Roger Vipros and about 20 wizards follow from the rear of the army.
Logan could clearly feel the intangible energy originating from them enveloping the entire enemy force.
‘It is wind-type magic.’
Although I didn’t know what kind of magic it was, I could clearly see the effect.
But even if you knew, it was a method that there was no way to do anything about right away.
Besides, the attack wasn’t completely ineffective, so I couldn’t give up.
“Damn it! Keep shooting! Focus on the soldiers!”
“Focus on the soldiers!”
The knights repeated Logan’s command, and the target of the soldiers changed.
A completely different tactic than during the day.
There was no point in targeting the knight with a crossbow whose power had been weakened by magic.
The only option is to turn to blocking follow-up troops.
Logan then shouted at the knights.
“Knights, prepare for the castle! Break all the heads of the enemies before they come up!”
“yes!”
Both Logan who shouted and the knights who answered were full of tension in their voices.
Although many of the knights of Bipros died in the fierce battle during the day, they were still 50% more numerous than the knights of McLane.
In addition, among the Bipros knights, those of intermediate level or higher, who were classified as strong, did not die that often even during the day.
Since everyone knew that, it was strange that I wasn’t nervous.
A fierce battle qualitatively different from the daytime one will be waiting for them.
bang!
“Ahh!”
Roars and screams that shook the castle walls erupted from everywhere.
The mud and oil applied to the castle walls while making the moat were working better than expected.
Knights below the mid-level were forced to break through the walls and climb up, and boiling oil and stones rained down on their heads without mercy.
The person who managed to avoid them all and reached the top of the castle wall was struck on the head by a knight of McLane.
Even though their main weapon, the repeating crossbow, was half sealed and they were clearly outnumbered, McLane’s troops managed to defend the castle walls.
In the end, it was once again the strongest players of Bipros who broke the balance of the fierce confrontation.
“Damn it! All of Biphros’s dual swords are here!”
A scream-like cry rang out from the eastern wall on the other side of Logan.
It was a place where many mid-level knights were stationed to replace his father, who had gone to the northern wall, and Heinkel, who was here to the south.
‘Damn you guys!’
The guys I was looking for with my eyes wide open ended up appearing on the opposite side of me.
“Hold on!”
Logan left those words and disappeared from the western wall like a lie.
It was a flurry of movement that demonstrated the ghost shadow’s movement method and the effectiveness of the wind god’s boots to the extreme.
‘shit!’
Eilen’s feelings could be expressed in just one word when he was ordered to defend the castle wall in the opposite direction from the enemy’s advance route.
It was a lament that came out because she felt like she was being ignored again because she was a woman, but now, a series of swear words came out with a different meaning.
“shit!!”
Skag.
Uddangtangtang.
A light brush of the red sword blew off the entire side of the breastplate and carved a deep wound on the side.
“Hehe. She’s quite the bitch.”
Was it a problem that she was the first to spot the top knight in red armor who appeared like a thunderbolt among the enemies who had come around the eastern wall?
Or maybe the problem was that as soon as I saw him, I couldn’t remember his name and shouted ‘Monkey!’
There were many other intermediate knights on the castle walls, but this monkey was only focusing on attacking Eilen.
No, more accurately, I was playing with it.
‘Damn you!’
Even though he has achieved a level worthy of respect, in this fierce battlefield, he is such a despicable prank.
At least, I comforted myself by thinking that the highest level knight was helping me on the battlefield by playing with only myself…
‘Can you do it!’ crazy!’
Ugh.
“Cough!”
“Why? Are you mad because you’re just being bullied by a monkey? But you have to endure it. For the next four years, you’ll be a monkey’s toy. I’ll play with it forever.”
That’s why, you unlucky bastard.
I wanted to shout out confidently, but the pain from hitting my solar plexus made it impossible for me to say anything.
And the worst thing was that this guy, who was spewing murderous energy with a vicious face in front of me, didn’t actually use his lethal force, so it seemed like he was really planning to capture me.
I didn’t even want to imagine the situation I would face after that.
‘I’d rather die.’
Eilen gritted his teeth and tried to raise his trembling body.
but.
chin.
“Big!”
“Be prepared. I will treat you very well.”
Contrary to his words, Aslan’s eyes, as he grabbed Eilen by the throat with his unusually large hands compared to his physique, were full of murderousness, as if he were going to tear her to death at any moment.
“Tsk!”
“….”
“Damn….”
“Huh. Heh heh. You crazy bitch…”
Aslan wiped the phlegm from his face and forcibly suppressed the urge to kill him right away.
‘slowly. ‘I’ll show you hell slowly.’
Overlaid on the face of the girl wearing the arrogant knightly armor were the faces of countless women who had ignored and despised her decades ago based on her appearance alone.
It seemed like I would have to resume my old hobby, which I had endured patiently ever since I became known as the knight of speed with the twin swords of Bipros.
It was a time when Aslan was engrossed in the cruel imagination of dismantling each and every Eilen in front of him.
“Monkey! Come play with me!”
A golden glow flew in along with his gut-wrenching shout.
Kwaaaaang!
The shock that comes with binge drinking.
Even though I was clearly the one who had carried out the surprise attack, my hands felt numb.
‘Monstrous bastard.’
The brown eyes behind the lightly raised red sword showed no signs of impatience, unlike during the day.
The pierced shoulder didn’t even show any trace of the wound, and the sword that blocked Logan’s blow didn’t shake at all.
The good news is that Eilen was saved.
“It’s here too!”
Kwaaaaang!
It is said that his father stopped Plantz, who was massacring soldiers not far away.
This prevented the eastern forces from collapsing all at once.
‘Now the northern and western walls will be a problem.’
He didn’t bother to imagine the situation on the side where he and his father were missing.
Since I couldn’t help but worry, I just thought of a way to deal with the enemy in front of me as quickly as possible.
‘As quickly as possible against an enemy of a higher level than me?’
It was a situation that made me laugh out loud. In the end, I had no choice but to take a gamble.
‘ASAP.’
At an unexpected time and in a way that Aslan, who was looking at him with cold brown eyes, could not have predicted.
‘just now!’
In an instant, Logan rushed towards Aslan.
Then Aslan, who had been keeping a cool eye on Logan, reacted immediately.
His red sword pierced Logan’s rapidly approaching heart.
A shoulder injured during the day slowed down his reaction just a little, but as Logan rushed towards him, his speed increased, and it looked as if he was jumping at the sword.
But Logan’s sword was also aiming for Aslan’s heart.
It seems as if they have no intention of avoiding it, as if they want to die together.
For a very brief moment, clear brown eyes and burning red eyes met.
The owner of the red sword slightly turned his body.
Kagagak.
“You crazy guy!”
Logan’s sword tattered the sides of Aslan’s armor, made of red steel twice as hard as regular steel, and sent a chill through his chest.
“Are we going to die together?”
Aslan, whose composure was broken by the seemingly reckless appearance of Logan, shouted.
However, Logan swung his sword again without any reaction.
Aslan also took advantage of the gap and stabbed in, but Logan ignored his attack this time and maintained his sword stance.
Whoops!
The moment when the side of the armor splits again and bare skin is revealed.
Aslan’s brown eyes visibly wavered.
“Ugh! This crazy…”
I never imagined that a nobleman’s master would attack me without any defense, even risking his own life.
This is a tactic that even tough mercenaries who roll around on the battlefield can hardly put into practice unless they are serious idiots.
Attacking one’s own life was not as easy as it sounds.
This is especially true for people who grew up in noble families.
‘It’s a bluff, it’s a bluff! ‘I just stopped you!’
Aslan gritted his teeth as he looked into those crazy red eyes.
Aslan was born as a commoner with a monkey-like appearance, and until he reached his current position, Aslan survived only by his ignorance.
There was no way he could accept the fact that he lost a battle of guts with a noble master.
The fact that a senior knight had forced him into a dog fight like this.
Gritting his teeth, Aslan glared into Logan’s eyes.
The moment when the red sword and the golden sword intersect.
Fuuuuk.
Wow!
“It’s really turned…”
Cough.
Aslan collapsed, pulled out the sword that pierced his side, and vomited blood.
“Hehe. But it’s my victory.”
He staggered to his feet and was confident of victory.
The moment they exchanged blows, the guy couldn’t even resist the kick he unconsciously threw.
Although he was equally knocked out, he only lost his side, while he was pierced through his stomach.
In this battle of guts, he won.
The memory of being shaken at the last moment and stabbed in the stomach rather than the heart had already disappeared from his mind.
On the other hand, the enemy’s sword was aimed straight at his heart, and if the mithril heart guard inside the red armor had not slipped the sword, it would have pierced his heart.
“Now let’s go…huh?!”
Flashing.
The moment when white light suddenly flashes from the right arm of the fallen enemy.
‘no!’
Before Aslan could figure out its identity, he instinctively endured the pain and rushed forward to finish off the enemy.
Although the enemy’s sword that was currently stuck in his side was a little awkward, it was enough to finish off the fallen enemy.
He believed so.
