Chapter 189 Counterattack (4)
Puck!
The arrow pierced the middle of the imperial army’s forehead.
Flora Lawrence quickly set her arrows on the string, and her eyes were busy grasping the situation around her.
‘We’re being pushed back.’
It was as expected.
Joining Count Vandenberg’s forces, she expected that even a surprise attack would not give her the advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
Anyone with brains and common sense couldn’t have known it.
The soldiers of the Cronus Empire differed in quality from the beginning, and this part was discussed in the meeting room.
in conclusion.
I bet the odds.
Despite knowing that they were at a disadvantage, Cairo’s soldiers joined the operation.
“Commander!”
Flora shouted.
She calculated the variables that would happen on the battlefield all night and presented a plan for how to respond to the current situation.
There was a backlash from other leaders in the opinion.
They said it was against the purpose of the operation, but Flora decided that her plan was the perfect way to use the weapon called Roman Dmitri.
at Flora’s cry.
Count Vandenberg raised his voice.
“Construct a shield wall from now on!”
“Create a shield wall!”
Orders spread quickly.
Then, the soldiers of Cairo, who were scattered in all directions, gathered in one place.
Among them, shield-bearing soldiers stepped forward, interlocking square shields to form a wall of shields.
It happened really quickly.
They didn’t have long to prepare, but they had rehearsed the tactics they were going to do on the battlefield.
straight up.
A rapidly rising wall of shields.
The Kronos Empire showed a puzzled expression.
The shield wall was not a formation that was commonly used on the battlefield or for surprise attacks.
to Flora’s operation.
Baron Noel said:
“Flora. Speed is important in this operation. The shield wall is a way to bridge the gap in power, but it can be dangerous for troops attacking the middle while wasting time in a defensive formation. We also need to make sacrifices and go aggressive. That way, we can make use of the meaning of the surprise attack properly.”
It was a valid opinion.
Flora did not deny it, but one fact separated their opinions.
Faith in Roman Dmitry.
Flora Lawrence was confident that Roman Dmitri would make a difference, even if attacked from both sides, and then it was important for the Cairo Kingdom to preserve their strength as much as possible.
Anyway, the Kingdom Army alone could not completely deal with the Imperial Army in the rear.
Flora’s strong argument was adopted, and when he was pushed back after watching the match with a surprise attack, he decided to form a shield wall.
“Put the shield on your body!”
“Don’t allow gaps!”
The face of battle has changed.
The attacking Imperial Army and the defending Kingdom Army.
The Kronos Empire’s forces pushed forward like crazy thinking that they had seized the momentum, and Cairo’s soldiers held out like tenacity while blocking the enemy’s attack with their shields.
However, it wasn’t just about focusing on defense.
They tried to attack by inserting their weapons into the gap between the shields, and Flora and other archers fired arrows into the sky from behind.
Push shush.
Papa Park!
“Cheer.”
Arrows rained down like rain.
The imperial army screamed and collapsed, and Flora, shaking off drops of sweat mixed with blood, once again put an arrow on the string.
My ears were deafened by people’s shouts and screams.
In the past, he couldn’t look straight at the bloodstained world, but his time on the battlefield gave him an unshakable composure.
It was a fierce battle.
Time felt like an eternity.
Even after killing and killing the enemies, the incoming enemies showed no sign of diminishing, and the gaps in the shield wall gradually widened as the attacks continued.
Every time that happened, other soldiers stepped in and filled the gaps.
Stepping on the corpse of a colleague, he climbed up and clenched his teeth so that the Kronos Empire could no longer push in.
I felt dizzy.
I kept wanting to give up in the hot sun, but I couldn’t lose my concentration in the fight for my life.
It was then.
When the heat of battle reached its limit.
Flora confirmed something in the distance and shouted brightly.
“Allies have arrived! Release the shield wall and attack the enemies!”
far away
I saw an ally run away.
It was the beginning of the counterattack Cairo had been waiting for.
* * *
Leading the team.
there was chris
He appeared with his troops, raised an aura and rushed at the enemies.
“Follow me!”
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Aura exploded.
The soldiers of the Cronus Empire attacked Chris in unison, but the moment the two forces collided, Chris’ swordsmanship tore their bodies apart.
It was a simple swordsmanship that gave goosebumps.
He slashed the chest of the first soldier he encountered, then blew off the heads of two soldiers who rushed after him, and later, when the imperial soldiers with frightened faces showed hesitation, he hurled himself at them first.
“Cheak!”
“Stop that guy!”
It was a massacre.
Dmitri’s soldiers, led by Chris, unilaterally slaughtered the Kronos Empire’s forces.
Battle with Barco.
Southern Front.
And until this civil war.
Dmitri’s soldiers were veterans who had overcome major events that they could not normally experience.
They became bloody warriors on the battlefield, and they did not care if their opponent was Mount Tai, which is called the Empire.
The wars they experienced were weak every time.
Those who overcame the inferiority longed for victory under any circumstances.
The situation has been reversed.
In a situation where they were being attacked from the front and back, the knight who led the Kronos Empire at first raised his voice.
“If you hold out for a little while, your allies will arrive. So hold on no matter what!”
Contrary to what was said.
He knew the situation was at a disadvantage.
In order to reverse the current atmosphere, it was necessary to restrain Chris who ran amok.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“I will deal with you!”
3 star test.
He exploded his aura.
He slashed the soldiers who blocked him with a single knife and rushed toward Chris.
It was a moment when attention was focused even in the chaotic battlefield.
Although Chris showed a menacing appearance in a short time, he still thought that his life could not be guaranteed against a 3-star swordsman.
That moment.
Flash.
Pooh!
“… !”
The knight’s head was blown off.
The moment he reached right in front of me and was about to swing his sword, I closed my eyes once and then opened them, and my head floated into the sky.
It was a shocking scene.
single blow.
A 3-star test was taken care of.
It wasn’t the result of being overwhelmed with an aura.
Chris kept an eye on the enemy’s approach and caught the gap as he attempted to attack.
Chris had the experience of defeating a 3-star swordsman two years ago.
The flash war, which had developed incomparably to that time, was so fast that the knights of the empire could not react.
That was the beginning.
Kronos’ aura swordsmen.
They ran at once.
Auras exploded from all sides, aiming for Chris’ life, but they were knocked out in one blow, just like before.
in one attack.
one death.
The quick sword reached its peak.
The Kronos Empire’s forces were frightened by Chris’ ruthless power.
The Flash of Cairo.
It was the moment when a person who would gain fame on the continent revealed his presence in earnest.
* * *
By the time Count Fabio arrived on the scene, the hell of Abigyuhwan had already unfolded.
“… … What is this?”
Roman Dmitry.
It was him.
He blocked the road and was slaughtering the rushing imperial army.
I got goosebumps.
The power to overwhelm the numerical superiority is also powerless, but I realized at once what Roman Dmitri’s position meant.
The Kronos Empire army formed a long procession.
As the middle was attacked, all the soldiers who were moving from the front flocked to the middle, but Roman Dmitry blocked the path from the front.
That is to say.
Soldiers arriving on the scene had to face Roman Dmitri first.
There was only one reason why he was blocking the way, even though it was a common sense suicidal choice.
‘Does this mean that I can handle such nonsense?’
No explanation was needed.
Bodies underfoot.
That proved Roman Dmitri’s choice.
By the time Count Fabio arrived on the scene, countless troops had been slaughtered, and even if they passed him, they would inevitably be killed by Dmitri’s soldiers.
My eyes were spinning tight.
I was genuinely surprised by Roman Dmitri’s boldness, and I couldn’t get my head around Dmitri’s potential, which was stronger than I thought.
Roman Dmitry.
The popular rumor was true.
At first, I thought it was a frog in a well, but now that I look at it, it is a monster that is hard to find an opponent in the empire.
It was then.
“Commander! The situation in the rear is not good! At this rate, the troops in the rear may be attacked from the front and annihilated.”
It was an adjutant.
Receiving a call from the rear, he spoke in an urgent voice.
The lights went out on fire.
Now was not the time to be admiring.
Cairo boldly made the choice to open the city gates, and the heaven-sent opportunity could not be missed.
‘If you are attacked outside the city by the likes of Cairo, you will not have the face to go back to the empire and see other people. Taking advantage of Cairo’s civil war has already become useless, but if the enemy’s arrogance is not punished, the Kronos Empire will be ridiculed by the continent. Let go of the practical benefits of this battle. I have to punish the enemies unconditionally.’
“Kronos Knights.”
“yes.”
Escort of Count Fabio.
It was the 10th order of knights among the 10 orders Kronos possessed.
As they looked at Count Fabio to fulfill the order, Count Fabio said in a voice seething with murderous intent.
“Deal with that thorn-like Roman Dmitri right now. If only that guy was defeated, even the Cairo Kingdom would not be able to sustain it any longer. And go straight to the rear… … … .”
Moment.
Count Fabio stopped talking.
It may have been an illusion.
Roman Dmitri, who was far away from him, was looking this way as if he had heard Count Fabio speak.
* * *
There is a saying that when you meet a beast, your body hardens.
Their roar gives overwhelming fear, but Roman Dmitri’s eyes completely entangled his mind.
The accident circuit was hardened.
While he was giving orders to the Knights, it felt as if the world had stopped.
It was then.
“Cheer.”
Roman Dmitry slashed the enemy and kicked the ground.
sure
He made eye contact with Count Fabio, and as soon as he grasped the presence of the commander, he rushed towards him.
It was an embarrassingly reckless decision.
The distance between him and himself was not short, and the soldiers of Cronus were infested on the road.
Common sense made it impossible to penetrate them all and reach oneself.
just as expected.
The imperial army rushed in black and attacked Roman Dmitri as it was.
‘finished.’
I closed my eyes and opened them.
in that fleeting moment.
Things have changed.
Roman Dmitri slaughtered the foot soldiers he encountered and opened a way in a space infested with imperial troops.
Flash.
The distance was shorter than before.
Dozens of soldiers rushed at each step, and Roman Dmitri was willing to risk their lives to advance that step.
In such a situation, the Kronos Knights rushed forward.
Count Fabio didn’t finish the order, but they knew they had to deal with Roman Dmitri.
among them.
There was also a 4-star test.
The aura that rises strongly grants firm trust.
Flash.
Blood splattered.
The 4-star swordsman’s head rose into the sky and the sight of the other Kronos Empire’s knights falling was imprinted in his eyes.
every time you blink.
A shocking situation happened.
He thought he would never be able to reach him, but Roman Dmitri reached a distance not far before he knew it.
Only then did I know
‘Such a crazy bastard.’
Roman Dmitry.
He sincerely intended to break through the crowd and kill himself, the commander of Cronus.
