I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 128

128 – Felheim Senova (1)

Felheim Senova (1)

Esmeralda shuddered as she watched the fortress city’s response.

The image of fulfilling an existing promise. Furthermore, the soldiers are risking their lives for humanity.

At least that means they don’t know the inside story of Felheim Senova.

And it was also an attack on her, who was hesitating now.

‘Pelheim Senova… … You responded more calmly than I expected.’

And in Irina’s view, it was indeed the right move.

Now that we are not even sure if she colluded, if the warrior party hesitates here, it will backfire.

Even if there is some legitimacy to this, it would still be true that Esmeralda turned a blind eye to the soldiers’ deaths.

This is my neck being strangled.

Felheim Senova must also be well aware that this method could end up strangling her later.

But isn’t it obvious which side will be hit harder?

‘Pelheim Senova has nothing to lose. So, it has a wider range of options to choose from.’

Irina could tell what Felheim Senova was thinking.

Of course, I can’t respond by saying I know.

Because you’ll always end up at a loss against someone who has nothing to lose.

“Irina.”

“Yes, warrior.”

“We will do as per the existing contract.”

“Well, that makes sense.”

“I thought you were going to stop it?”

“No, that’s better, even considering the future developments. For now, let’s do whatever you want, warrior.”

Yeah, that’s better.

The risks will increase, but this is how we can prepare for the future.

And high-risk tasks are also common for warrior parties.

“Then watch your back… … .”

Sling.

Esmeralda draws the holy sword and spreads its light far and wide.

Attract the world’s attention and let them know you’re here.

“Let’s attack Legion Commander Six from now on.”

As soon as she said that, Esmeralda jumped down from the wall.

Following her, twelve swords leave trails of light in the air as they slash into the heart of the enemy lines.

“Then I should go too.”

Tina follows behind.

With her addition as a scout and fills in the blind spots of the warrior, Esmeralda’s charge becomes more stable.

“Miss Milia, please do as usual. I have to go down.”

“huh.”

Again.

And finally, Irina follows these two people.

Although she could not charge as bravely as them, Irina used her divine power to create stairs and slowly descended to the ground. She could not catch up with Esmeralda anyway.

All she can do is control the area around her.

“It might be a good thing that the undead are our opponents.”

Pfft!

The pure white light shatters a section of the Demon King’s army and spreads its presence throughout the room.

“She is a saint… … .”

“The Saint is with you!!”

Irina, who receives more attention than Esmeralda, who has dug into the middle of enemy lines.

It was Irina’s political intention as well as her consideration for Esmeralda.

If you keep her attention like this, wouldn’t the worry about the back of her head be reduced a little?

Since she is more confident in her defense, it is also important to attract attention in this way.

‘The problem is that there is no strong vanguard protecting me right now.’

If the opponent is undead.

Yes, with that thought in mind, Irina took control of the surrounding area.

Kuuung!

The person who assisted Irina was on the wall.

In some ways, it could be said that the most dangerous location is on top of the castle walls.

This is Millia, who is deploying large-scale annihilation magic under the protection of the city knights.

Although we are currently attacking the Demon King’s army together, the most dangerous position is the moment the fortress city turns against the enemy.

However, Irina did not worry about Milia separately.

‘If that’s some terrible magic… … .’

Wouldn’t it be more pitiful for the attackers?

***

The balance was instantly broken by the intervention of the warrior party. The balance between the three forces, which had been in a tight standoff, began to shift in an instant.

Esmeralda is hiding in the middle of enemy territory, eliminating dangerous enemies in advance, and Tina is filling in Esmeralda’s blind spots and assassinating enemies.

Irina subdues enemies while strengthening allies with area-of-effect divine magic.

And even Millia, who destroys enemies in formation with large-scale annihilation magic. Millia’s magic, in particular, is so overwhelming that it makes you question whether ordinary soldiers are even needed in war.

Yeah, that’s why… … .

‘Slowly… … .’

It is also inevitable that someone will appear to explain the reason.

‘……come!’

Kiiiiiiiiiii!!

The battlefield, which was noisy with the friction of metal and screams, is now consumed by an ear-piercing scream.

The Demon King’s army, which had been helplessly swept away by Irina’s divine magic and Millia’s bombardment, begins to hold out.

‘This is the power of Legion Commander Six… … .’

Irina shuddered at the battlefield wizard’s attacks, nullifying them with all sorts of protective magic.

Yes, that’s why both infantry and knights can still stand on the battlefield.

Because the wizards realized that they could deal with them all at once with a wide-area weapon, they started to create magic to counter it one by one.

Ritual magic that applies to an area rather than strengthening an individual.

On the battlefield, magicians have basically only one goal.

“Prepare for the bombardment! Wizards, prepare your defenses!”

Commanders who were manning their troops all over the battlefield shouted.

Wizards pacify the battlefield with powerful, wide-ranged magic.

Since that is the goal, it is also important to prevent the other person from doing so.

One purpose, two roles.

A wall and siege weapon.

And no matter how great the differences between the two wizards are, if you start focusing on one side, the situation will become stagnant.

And then.

“What…….”

What is needed to turn the tide of this stagnant battlefield is the tactics of the regular soldiers and the commanders who lead them.

and…….

“What is that article about!!”

The existence of an overwhelming ‘individual’ who can change the game with just one move.

‘This quickly… … ?’

Irina shuddered at the sight of the Black Knight, who seemed to have an overwhelming presence even amidst the chaos of countless soldiers.

I expected that Commander Nine would be added to the Demon King’s army.

And I also knew that that was the weapon my opponent had prepared.

Information is something that shines more the more it is hidden. Did they just reveal the special information about the existence of Legion Commander Nine so easily?

Something is different.

There is something unexpected.

“Huh?!”

Irina met eyes with Corps Commander Nine, who was watching her from afar.

Two red eyes glowing in the ominous black fog.

The moment I met those eyes, I understood.

“Oh, damn it… … . Right. I guess you could think that way too.”

The Black Knight’s target is not Esmeralda, who is still running wild and infiltrating the Demon King’s army.

“It was natural to cut off supplies in war.”

The fact that he was targeting her while she was doing all that assisting behind the scenes.

Irina took her position quietly.

The Morning Star I was holding was trembling, but there was nothing I could do.

“I wonder if I can hold out… … .”

A fight where one grabs the opponent’s head.

The one who endures wins.

Irina is ready to throw herself into danger again today for the revival of the Celestial Church.

***

weird.

Esmeralda, who had been charging into the battlefield and overwhelming her enemies, could not shake off the doubt that had taken hold in a corner of her mind.

‘What’s strange?’

Things are going well.

That’s fine. Wasn’t that the plan in the first place?

Wouldn’t that be a warrior for that?

She is an asymmetrical force. It is not surprising that she can cut through opposing soldiers.

In the first place, this situation won’t last long.

I knew that.

Kiiiiiiiiiii!!

That’s what actually happened.

Esmeralda thought as she pushed back the demon soldiers whose defenses had become stronger for a moment.

Got stronger. Definitely got stronger.

Enemies that were so insignificant that she felt helpless for a moment transformed into opponents she had to exert strength against.

But it was still okay. Even if you strengthen it, there are limits.

That is why we have been waiting for the opposing side’s asymmetric power.

‘Legion Commander Nine.’

And the first one to appear along with the ghost was the death knight.

[Name: Nine]

[Race: Living Armor] [Title: Legion Commander, Black Knight]

[List of characteristics]

Imperial Sword Lv. 71

Unique Sword Skill Lv. 88

Black Magic Lv. 42

Command Magic Lv. 22

[Comprehensive Estimate Lv. 926]

As expected.

This is a reasonable figure based on a comparison of the power of the legion commanders we have seen so far.

It’s all as she expected.

She has also become stronger.

It’s surprising how easily she advanced, but she also became stronger.

And just as she had expected, her opponent felt a strength that made her shiver just by looking at him.

And it could be that such a monster is directed at Irina, who is assisting her, rather than at her.

I expected all of that.

It was a possible story.

So what is this anxiety?

“Esmeralda!”

“Tina!”

“I think it would be better to go back.”

“Is that a feeling?”

“huh.”

A feeling, not a rational judgment.

But if that’s what Tina says, then the credibility is extraordinary.

However, at such a critical juncture, going back the distance she had painstakingly overcome based solely on her intuition would not only put her at risk, but would also put numerous soldiers at risk at the same time.

Esmeralda thought.

Just one more. If there was just one more piece, I would make a decision.

The threat felt towards Legion Commander Nine.

I feel like the alarm bell is ringing telling me I have to go back now.

What did he say? Did he say he was somewhat strong?

Esmeralda recalled.

I pulled out each piece of information Garnet had told me from my memory.

Then suddenly.

-9th Corps Commander Nine. That b*stard Six raised up as a Death Knight.

A single sentence flashed through her mind.

Esmeralda looked at Corps Commander Nine again with trembling eyes.

[Name: Nine]

It’s certain that the opponent is the legion commander.

[Race: Living Armor]

The known races were different.
