Episode 99
“Now those strange arrows no longer fly.”
“What is the probability that it is a deception?”
“Nothing. Even if it were just a deception, there really wouldn’t be much left.”
“That’s right. Since everything is blocked, we can’t escape anywhere and now we’re running out of food. If we just leave it alone, it will self-destruct on its own. Right?”
“That’s right. I think it will pop out on its own within a week or three or four days.”
“Hmm. All we have to do is wait quietly and kick the tired guys.”
An overwhelmingly favorable situation.
But Roger Bipros, who had already endured enough anger, had no intention of enduring it for a few more days.
“There’s no need to wait any longer to catch a mouse that has lost its teeth and claws, Plants!”
“Yes! I was waiting.”
A voice full of fighting spirit.
It wasn’t just the McLane camp that was stressed out over the past few days as the attack retreated.
“You are a bunch of rats who dared to invade my land. I will personally tear you limb from limb and kill you.”
With a lively declaration.
“It’s an all-out attack. Put the heads of McLane and his wife in front of me!”
“yes!”
Tomodo Castle shook once again.
“They’re all coming! Enemies are everywhere!”
Even if the soldier’s words were not close to screaming, everyone could see the enemy troops coming from all directions.
Logan’s eyes twitched as he watched the enemy’s offensive, intent on pouring all their forces into it.
‘You have to endure. ‘I have to hold on somehow!’
A variable arose, but in any case, the only thing he could trust was his memories of his past life, so it was just a pity for Logan, who had hoped that the enemy would take a little more time.
Of course, I couldn’t just die.
“Wait as long as possible. Fire all at once when you get closest.”
“yes!”
Instructions were quickly conveyed in all directions along with soft answers.
I deliberately stopped shooting the crossbow a day ago.
The intention was to reserve some strength for a final counterattack.
‘I didn’t know I would write it this quickly.’
Logan’s eyes were busy gauging the momentum of the enemy knights scattered in all directions.
To determine the location of Aslan, Plantz, and senior knights.
But as expected, it was difficult to find those who had deliberately hidden themselves among this numerous army.
The guy who stood out the most was the same.
‘Did Aslan throw away the armor? Or is it really a departure?’
However, thoughts about the top knight, who had not been seen for several days, did not last long.
– I’ll put an end to it! All-out attack!
With the voice of Roger Bipros amplified by magic, the enemy troops began to arrive.
“Shoot!”
Pabababak!
“Ugh!”
The last remaining magazine of the repeating crossbow was of minimal value.
The wizards’ interference was still there, but because the interference centered around the knights, the final shot targeting the cavalry and infantry behind them from the beginning was able to achieve results that exceeded expectations.
Of course, that didn’t change the situation.
“Muk….”
Oh my!
After chopping off the head of the knight who had just jumped over the castle wall, Logan’s eyes quickly looked for the next victim.
Sigh!
“Ugh!”
“Once you’ve shot all your arrows, raise your spear! Pick up your sword and stab the enemy!”
Logan gave priority to the enemy knights who came up screaming in an evil voice.
I raise my senses to the maximum and move around looking in all directions.
“It’s Moon Knight! Stop it!”
South wall.
An unpleasant guy appeared in a place where only mid-level knights were present.
But Logan couldn’t move.
“MacLine! I’ll cut your throat!”
“It is the will of Biphros!”
“die!”
Because there were five senior knights, most of the remaining senior knights of Bipros were rushing towards him.
In some ways, it was more powerful than a top knight.
It was no time to worry about the other side.
Anyway, there was someone who decided to take charge of the planz.
“Hold on as long as you can!”
Logan gritted his teeth, let out an obvious sound, and swung his golden sword.
“I’ll put an end to it this time!”
Plantz fiercely swung his deadly sword.
The cold air pouring from his beloved sword, Glacies, added destructive power to the whip-like silver Force Blade.
As the silver whip, which was over 3 meters long, swung erratically, the troops caught up in it froze and were cut off without understanding what was happening.
As Plants was laying waste to the southern wall, a red sword flew in front of him.
“Where!”
Kwaaaaang!
“Hmph. What a clumsy guy…”
Plantz snorted at the appearance of his enemy, Padric McLane, who had clashed with him several times and confirmed that he was one step ahead.
However, the moment he saw the familiar sword in his hand, Planz’s expression crumpled.
“That sword…!”
“It’s a cool sword. It says Velocitas. This time, let’s finish it.”
Padric tightened his grip once again on the artifact his son had given him and raised his force to its maximum.
– It didn’t suit me well.
How could I not know that my son’s words were considerate?
Unlike his son, who beat the highest level knight despite the difference in level, he clearly felt that he was inferior to Planz of the same level.
However, with an artifact like this, you can destroy at least one person in front of you.
No, it had to be that way.
That alone will be of great help in this unfavorable situation.
Padric fully increased the power of the artifact and rushed towards the enemy with all his might.
Even in his opinion, Logan was fighting really well.
Not only was it not enough to block the waves of attacks from five senior knights of the same level, he even killed one of them.
However, the metal cutting strike that was effective when used as a surprise no longer worked, and he was not in a state to use the divine sword Vision, which consumes a lot of energy.
The limit is to use the power of Ghost Shadow and Wind God’s Boots to the fullest and withstand the attacks of the four remaining knights.
Logan’s complexion was becoming increasingly hard, but the same was true for the senior knights attacking him.
“What a monster…”
“How dare you be at that age!”
“I must kill you right here!”
Ignoring the enemy’s words, Logan was only looking for the last opportunity for a reversal in the barrage of attacks that left him with no time to breathe.
‘Just a little bit more!’
Most of the friendly troops, who were being significantly pushed back, had gathered around him, and now not only the enemy knights but also the enemy soldiers were climbing up the castle walls one by one.
A hopeless situation. But Logan’s eyes had not yet let go of the light of hope.
“Kaaak!”
A colleague who was fighting with his back to his back collapsed with a scream.
At that moment, Ronian turned around and plunged his sword into the triumphant enemy’s face.
“Big!”
And immediately he sensed a sword strike aimed at his side again and rolled on the ground.
“What a rat!”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Skag.
In return, I gave him a sharp stab to the thigh, and the enemy went on a rampage even further.
Taking the enemy’s foolish behavior as a reference, Ronian calmed down even more.
And then he calmly thrust his sword with just the right amount of force into each and every gap of the enemies he saw around him.
I moved minimally in the same spot, but swung my sword in all directions as if I had eyes everywhere, regardless of the front, back, or side directions.
Ronian’s appearance is literally the best movement that can be seen in a melee.
‘If you endure, you will win. My brother said that if I hold on, I will win. ‘I will endure with the determination to die!’
Unbeknownst to him, the talent of the Auror user who had earned the nickname of the future Iron Wall Fortress in his past life was blooming without his knowledge.
However, the situation was not only against the eastern wall where he was, but everywhere else, and the situation was going against McLane.
‘more! more! more!’
As if Victor had forgotten his physical fatigue, the more he got hurt, the faster he moved.
The lord to whom he had sworn allegiance was right in front of him, fighting with all his might against an insurmountable enemy.
I wanted to help my lord, but right now, all I could do was follow his movements with my eyes.
However, I could feel at a glance that the lord was at a disadvantage.
‘no!’
The moment my master died, I thought of my younger brother who would become a lost child again.
Even though he didn’t know it, his younger brother still needed protection.
Not an ugly older brother like himself, who always goes around and belittles one’s independence, but a protector of this family and the lord.
‘You must never go back, my lord.’
So Victor truly yearned.
May I gain the strength to join in that fight and help my lord.
‘A little faster, a little faster!’
Fortunately, he had the talent to make his unreasonable wish come true.
As the melee continued, his body began to speed up little by little without him even realizing it.
at last.
Pow!
With the sensation of something exploding in his head, Victor felt that something had changed.
I could see the weaknesses of those around me and the movements of those who were attacking my master more clearly.
At that moment, Victor immediately joined his master’s fight without even thinking about what that meant.
‘At least one guy can do it!’
Even if he can take off just one, the lord will seize the opportunity.
At least we will be able to subdue those guys who are harassing our lord.
Before I knew it, the gray force that had bloomed was moving vaguely along Viktor’s sword.
“Taa!”
A movement to strike the back of a senior knight while showing off his spirit.
As a surprise attack, it was a very foolish thing to do, but it was an effective way to attract attention.
Faryon, a senior knight of Bipros who was fiercely fighting with Logan, had his senses turned back for an instant.
And immediately I realized my situation.
‘What a piece of shit.’
Normally, the guy who wouldn’t have even paid attention to it happened to aim right at the back when he was being attacked.
For him, it was a once-in-a-lifetime piece of luck, but for me, it was the worst possible situation.
And the result.
Sigh.
He felt a golden sword passing through his neck along with an exhilarating pain, and at the same time, his body began to lose strength rapidly.
‘Such unlucky…’
The last thing he saw through his blurred vision was the sight of the kid who had fearlessly intervened and was cornered in one direction.
‘Good, Victor!’
I killed one more senior knight with unexpected help.
It seemed like the fight would get easier, but from that moment on, Logan’s ankles were tied up by the swords of the enemies who were persistently targeting Viktor.
“Victor! Get back!”
“But!”
The guy was stubborn, not knowing what he was thinking.
But he couldn’t keep the fight going any longer.
When I looked around, the allies had already crowded into the center, leaning against each other and forcibly forming a barrier, barely holding on. .
Now it was time to make the final move.
Gritting his teeth, Logan swung his sword fiercely at the enemies.
Then, taking advantage of the momentary opportunity, he shouted with force.
“The entire army retreat!”
A loud voice that shook the castle.
At least it was mental. The McLane troops who had some spare time began to shout here and there in response to Logan’s words.
“Retreat! The soldiers come first!”
“Knights stop the enemies!”
A voice that bewildered the Biphros army, which had belatedly climbed the castle wall. They continued to spread around the area.
‘A knight sacrifices himself for a soldier?’
‘What are you doing?’
Among the knights of Biphros, who were already confident of victory, some were seen openly laughing.
However, the knights of McLane were indeed forming only the bare minimum of defenses and guarding the stairs leading down, sending the soldiers down the castle walls.
‘ ‘What kind of nonsense is this?’
A similar thought occurred in the minds of the Biphros knights.
However, the enemy’s foolishness was only for the benefit of the allies, so they shouted with even more vigor as if the lord waiting outside the castle walls would hear.
“The enemy is retreating!”
“Uproot them!” !”
In other words, the solid defensive posture was nothing more than a perfect defense.
The knights of Bipros formed a line and pushed the knights of McLane even more harshly.
And at that moment.
‘Okay!’
After confirming that most of the soldiers, except for the dead ones, were running towards the inner castle, Logan gave the final signal.
“Let’s see the end!”
With those words, the golden giant’s sword surged above the sword raised high.
Logan held onto the sword as it was. He lowered it downward.
“No way!”
“Where!”
The pre-position was too great to be considered a fatal blow.
All of the senior knights who were dealing with Logan dodged out of the way to avoid his trajectory.
Thanks to this, even though it was only a short moment, the concentration on Logan was reduced. There was an opening in the barrage.
Logan, who took advantage of that moment, withdrew the giant’s sword and at the same time grabbed Viktor by the back and jumped out of the castle wall.
“What is this?”
The bravado of using the ground splitting was just a signal.
Immediately after that, he climbed up the castle wall. With the flow of thick mana,
rumbling, rumbling,
like a lie, the walls of Tomodo Castle began to collapse at once.
