Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans - Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans chapter 56

‘It’s okay to crash it as it is.’

The knights growled.

The hundreds of soldiers in front of me were not soldiers.

They were too small a group of people to be called soldiers.

What’s the point of wearing my shiny armor all over my body?

In front of the tsunami created by thousands of horses, the armor was as good as paper.

“Signal and we split up!”

The cry of the knight commander who runs in the lead.

“Signal and we split up!”

The following knights chanted.

But the inside was completely different.

‘Let’s garden!’

‘Let’s push it!’

‘Just say I made a mistake.’

The rough wind hitting the skin made me feel uplifted.

Reason was overpowered, and the mind was governed by emotion.

The troopers smiled, showing their teeth in their helmets.

Let’s break through that wall.

Let’s destroy the fearless bastard who dared to attack Sudret.

When silent laughter hovers in the helmet,

A man in the middle of the wall walked forward.

“…”

A woman with deep blue bobbed hair not even wearing armor.

She put her left hand on her waist and grasped the scabbard.

“Crazy b*tch.”

Someone else muttered.

Step by step, she was coming forward.

In front of the charging knight, barefoot, he was approaching.

I can’t really say anything other than that I’m crazy.

“…”

But she was calm.

A face that shows no emotion at all.

He took a deep breath and gripped the handle of the sword with his right hand.

I leaned my upper body slightly forward and slowly closed my eyes.

And as soon as I opened my eyes, I drew my sword.

Kwakwang———!

A roar erupted.

And the explosion hit the knights.

“What!”

The horse that was running was startled by the explosion and raised its front paws.

The knight immediately reached out to calm the horse, but it was too late.

The line collapsed as the horses that were running at full speed stopped for an instant.

The trailing horse collided with the preceding one and fell over.

rumble——

There was a loud noise like thunder.

Half of the thousands of horses fell over.

“Ugh!”

“sh*t!”

The fallen knight spewed curse words and got up.

There was shame on their faces and anger aroused.

“These bastards!”

I was just trying to scare you, but you dare attack me?

Shame and anger rose in their hearts.

“wake up!”

“Kill them all!”

The fallen knights threw away their lances and took up their own weapons.

I saw someone insulting them just a few dozen steps ahead.

Quickly, he grabbed his teeth and ran.

bang! bang! Kwakwang——!

However, the opponent’s second attack was also fast.

Stones flew at the knights who were trying to form a rank.

A round stone, larger than the head, hit the body of a knight.

The knight was thrown back several tens of meters.

Tung tong, tong, tong!

A knight who hit the ground four times like a water swallow.

He died with his body distorted.

The knights who saw this opened their mouths wide.

“What, what…”

“Magic? No, I didn’t feel the magic—”

Kwakwang!

In the meantime, another explosion sounded.

Stones flew in the same way, but this time no one was hit.

To be precise, no one was hit with a direct hit.

Instead, the stone colliding with the ground shattered and scattered fragments in all directions.

“Cuck!”

“Whoa, my eyes are clear!”

Most of the pieces were blocked by armor, but there were too many of them.

The scattered fragments dug deep into the flesh exposed through the cracks in the armor.

A few who took off their helmets had shards lodged in their necks, eyes and heads.

“That’s it! Shooting stones with that bell!”

An urgent knight pointed to the front and shouted.

The knights followed his gaze and belatedly discovered the long line drawn in front of them.

“…!”

The ground was cut as if a giant had cut the ground with a knife.

It wasn’t just the sound of an explosion that stopped the horse in fright.

Instinctively, he avoided the blade that was swinging in front of him.

Realizing this, the knights opened their eyes wide and looked ahead.

A woman, Calliope, stood in front of them, holding a sword.

“Ser, can’t you…?”

The knights recalled the sight of her firing a sword.

At the same time, attention was drawn to the sound of the explosion, a result that had not been seen before.

The result was the cut land ahead, they were sure.

“…”

Her eyes swept over the knights.

The knights felt their hearts stop when they were stared at.

It was so cold and fierce that I could feel it in his gaze.

But he soon regained his composure and cried out.

“Don’t be afraid!”

“We are the knights of the sudlet!”

Knights surrounded her and stormed from all sides.

He tried to beat her with numbers.

Dismissed!

“omg!”

However, the power gap was too great.

The gap between her and the knights could not be bridged.

There was a gap that could never be narrowed even with numbers.

“…!”

Her movements were simple.

All he did was wave his hand as if to ward off a mosquito.

Then a strong wind blew and a fountain of blood erupted.

One life fell with one knife, it wasn’t that level.

With one gesture, the entire group in front of them was torn apart and blown away.

“Huh!”

The knights who were hit by the flesh and blood of their comrades took a deep breath.

The torn body and blood flow really looked like a volcanic eruption.

How can this be described as a sword strike?

She destroyed everything beside her and stood up.

Thousands of knights were overwhelmed by one knight.

“Monster, monster!”

Hesitantly, the knights broke the siege and retreated.

After the siege, less than a few minutes passed.

It was after more than 100 knights fell off their heads.

Even he knows that she has suppressed her power.

Even without knowing such a fact, the knights trembled in fear.

“next?”

There was no answer.

She threw her knife into the air.

The knights were startled, knowing that they were cutting me.

The knife cut through the air and wiped the blood from the blade onto the floor.

She glanced at the blade and spoke briefly.

“attack.”

Then the subordinates rushed.

“Don’t lose to Carly!”

“His Majesty the Emperor is watching!”

While Calliope slashed the knights and the conscripts fired cannons, a hundred of his followers held their hands behind their backs.

They each shouted and stormed.

Without even forming a rank, he threw himself into the knights’ ranks.

Even though it was an act of suicide for a hundred to throw themselves into a crowd of thousands, it was the knights who were trampled upon.

“What kind of power is this—!”

The lion seemed to be loose on the hyena pack.

The image of the subordinates running amok and the knights being swayed,

The fact that the physique of most of the members is larger than that of a knight,

The knights could not even resist and were slaughtered.

“Advance!”

The conscripts followed after the people.

I put down the overheated cannon and raised the spear.

The spear is a long spear made by connecting two rods.

It was longer than three adults lying down.

Unlike their followers, they advanced in long and thin formations.

“For my father!”

Shouting slogans, he jumped forward a few steps and threw out his spear.

The weight-bearing attack pierced the armored knight’s body.

The knights who sold their eyes and gave their backs to their followers were in awe.

“What, what! Do not come!”

A situation where he lost his composure after being trampled by Calliope and his followers.

In the chaotic situation, the knights could not distinguish between their own and conscripts.

From their point of view, they were the same enemy, only with different ranks, conscripts, and armed forces.

On the contrary, the appearance of the conscripts, who were outnumbered, shouting slogans, and approaching in line, gave greater intimidation than the members of the clan who were running amok.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

It would have been different if I had judged even a little coolly.

The number of knights was in the thousands, so how could hundreds of conscripts be frightening?

Even more so, the conscripts were made up of weak and weak freed slaves.

All the conscripts did was stretch their squares long and thin, take a few steps, and stab their spears.

However, the knights felt the paper-like wall as a wall and retreated.

“Run away!”

That cry became the starting point.

The knights have collapsed.

“Go, go together…!”

“Let go! Get out of here!”

The knights fled.

I abandoned my comrades who were holding me back and ran away.

I let go of the weapon in my hand, threw off my helmet, and took off anything that could be removed from my body as I ran on my good legs.

They ran with all their might towards Duke Sudret’s main force behind them.

“stop.”

The family did not follow him.

I set up the scattered ranks and took my seat.

There was blood and corpses at their feet, but nothing of theirs.

###

“This is what it is…”

Duke Sudret, Svain widened his eyes.

He saw a group of knights fleeing in fear.

‘What the hell happened!’

A cry that I couldn’t bear to let out boiled inside.

Svein couldn’t comprehend the scene in front of him.

Clearly, he had sent a corps of knights to tell.

Don’t bump, just threaten.

‘I told you not to fight, so why did you fight!’

No, the battle itself was not a problem.

Because he thought that a battle could happen.

Because he expected that the knights would not listen to him.

Edar’s army is too small, so the knights will run amok.

‘okay! You must have tried to bump into it pretending it was a mistake! Only a few hundred opponents. If I told them not to fight against that group and just scare them, their pride would be hurt.’

Could he, who is in power, not notice this?

He refused to obey the order and hoped to slaughter the military.

An illegitimate child who dared to reveal this to his father and returned.

I hoped to step on the bridge of his nose with all my might and crush it.

He even smiled when the crash happened.

‘Why did you lose?’

but lost

3,000 men lost to less than half of half.

Not even a small cavalry, but a bunch of infantry.

‘why!’

3,000 knights.

The armament was different and the affiliation was different.

It was nothing more than a collection of knights who responded to Sudret’s call.

In the first place, I did not expect organizational power or anything like that.

But didn’t the number reach 3,000?

‘3,000 heavily armed knights. It was a battle that could not be lost.’

Infantry to block the charge of knights five times their size?

The duke declared it impossible.

At least humans say it’s impossible.

But I did it.

It didn’t just happen.

Look at the corpse lying in front of me.

There were more corpses than enemies who defeated the Knights.

“…”

Shame boiled over.

Quickly, I gritted my teeth and glared at it.

The wounds left by the knights’ foolish battle were great.

Even if we annihilate Edar’s soldiers today, rumors will remain.

Because the 50,000 soldiers he mobilized and the city over there are witnesses.

It will be widely known that thousands of knights were defeated by hundreds of foot soldiers.

‘Edar… you bastard…!’

“Duke.”

Helmut, an old vassal standing next to him, called out to the duke.

The duke didn’t even look at me, let alone answer.

The old vassal didn’t care and raised his voice.

“Are you going to leave them there?”

He hit the vassal with all his might with his clenched fist.

“We must fight back!”

From noble mtl dot com

Only then did the Duke see his vassals.

His face flushed red and he groaned.

Each one glared at them, bared their teeth, and twitched their noses.

They too had the same feelings as the duke.

“You can’t just leave it like this!”

“We have to drive!”

“Punish those cowards!”

“Give me an order!”

The duke shook his head.

“okay. Know. I have to punish that idiot.”

He decided and raised his hand.

The vassals took the reins.

Dung- Dung-!

The drums rang.

The Duke’s hand was about to go down.

Edar’s army moved ahead of the Duke’s hand.

With his hands raised, the duke frowned and glared straight ahead.

The soldiers from the front approached, beating drums.

Not a single soldier rode a horse, but there was the only man who rode a horse in the lead.

“Edar.”

The Duke closed his eyes as soon as he saw him.

For an instant, my eyes were dazzled as if I saw the sun directly in front of me.

‘what?’

When I opened my eyes, the light had disappeared like a hallucination.

He frowned and brushed his hair.

“…!”

And when he saw Edar again, he was surprised.

It was as if he had put a mirror in front of the Duke.

The Duke opened his eyes wide when he saw the son he had abandoned.

It was not only the duke who was surprised, but all of his retainers opened their eyes alike.

The older he got, the bigger his surprise was, and he even opened his mouth.

“It looks like it.”

On the way, someone muttered.

The Duke almost nodded involuntarily.
