◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (107)

It was a tense situation every moment.

Because the opponent they would face in the next few days was stronger and more difficult than any enemy they had faced so far.

‘……older brother.’

Ethan couldn’t hide his complicated feelings as he constantly scouted Byron’s army.

I couldn’t understand how things had come to this, and I felt resentful of my father for putting me through this ordeal.

Despite this, Ethan had no intention of yielding the throne to Byron.

It wasn’t because I coveted the king’s seat.

Because if Byron becomes king, it is so obvious what will happen to the kingdom.

There will probably be wailing throughout the kingdom.

People will become destitute and more and more will starve to death.

It was obvious that the people would end up doing hard labor to satisfy Byron’s greed.

That’s why Ethan couldn’t give up.

at that time,

“Prince!”

“……Count Seyla?”

Ethan’s expression darkened as he saw Seyla approaching him in a sudden and urgent manner.

Because at first glance, I had a strong feeling that it would be some bad news.

Sailor, who had come near, spoke to Ethan.

“Prince Byron’s main force suddenly split in half and began to move.”

“……In half?”

“yes.”

“Tell me more.”

At Ethan’s words, Seyla began to organize and explain the information she had received from the reconnaissance unit.

The leading half of the split force moved back to their original direction.

And the troops at the rear are split in half again and are approaching us.

“Are you targeting us? At this point?”

“Based on their current movements, I think that’s very likely. Otherwise, there’s no reason for them to come here.”

“Hmm…….”

Ethan let out a small breath and became lost in thought at Seyla’s words.

Why on earth would those guys target them at this time?

Swish.

Ethan looked around.

A plain with nothing.

Are you going to fight with your strength divided in half here, where there is no place to hide?

No matter how carefully they considered the various situations, it was a fight that was advantageous to them.

Ethan looked at Gilbert.

“Let’s quickly form up and prepare for battle.”

If they fight, they will have the advantage. However, if there is one thing to watch out for, it is the troops of those who are constantly moving ahead.

If those troops were to bypass us again and join us here, we could be outnumbered.

‘but…….’

If we can destroy the advance forces that arrived before they arrived to some extent, wouldn’t it be worthwhile to have a battle of pure strength?

“Count Seyla, continue to closely observe the enemy forces and report back in real time.”

“All right.”

“Then let’s hurry and prepare. However, since the movement now may be a trick, we must also consider the possibility of moving at any time.”

“All right.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

It’s a situation where there’s a lot to think about.

It was they who were at a disadvantage from the beginning, and the current situation is not something that can be judged rationally either.

It’s clear that there’s some kind of ulterior motive… … .

‘There is no reason to avoid it.’

Ethan saw his troops quickly preparing for battle.

I felt my shoulders grow heavy as I watched the soldiers moving busily in the cold tension.

Not long after, Ethan’s gaze was suddenly drawn to a black figure approaching from afar.

“What is that?”

Gilbert, who was next to Ethan, turned his gaze at his question.

The distance was quite far so I couldn’t see it clearly, but the shape looked almost like a person.

“If he is an enemy messenger, just send him back. Even though he is an enemy now, there is no need to kill the people of the kingdom.”

The figure of a black shadow gradually approaching began to appear clearly.

“Hey, save me! Save me!”

A woman approaches, bleeding profusely, with her left arm cut off.

Her gait was so unsteady that she seemed ready to fall at any moment, and the sole of her shoeless foot was scraped and bleeding.

Ethan shouted as he looked at the woman in such a miserable state that not a single part of her was clean.

“Help that woman up!”

At those words, several soldiers ran out and quickly helped her up.

Ethan shouted.

“Sir Gilbert! Bring me the potion!”

“……yes.”

A potion more precious than gold of the same weight.

Although the potion was meant to be used in case Ethan got injured, Ethan used it to save the woman without hesitation.

“Ugh…….”

As the potion passed through her mouth a sip or two, the woman began to groan and come to her senses.

Ethan frowned as he looked at her left shoulder, which had been torn off as if it had been ripped off.

And then he looked at the woman waking up and asked.

“What happened? What happened?”

“Oh, Prince Ethan… Please let me meet Prince Ethan.”

“I’m Ethan! What happened?”

The woman was startled by Ethan’s words and grabbed Ethan’s sleeve.

Despite her bloody hands staining his sleeves, Ethan just looked at her with pity.

The woman said.

“Oh, all of a sudden, hideous monsters attacked our village……”

Although her words were a bit disorganized, she continued speaking as calmly as possible.

“It’s a village not far from here. Prince Ethan said that if he doesn’t come, he’ll kill all of our villagers. Hehehehe. I don’t mind dying, but my children… all of them, including the children… please help me. Please….”

Ethan’s eyes filled with anger at her words.

Saila, who was next to me, said.

“……This is Caen.”

There is only one person in the entire kingdom who can command monsters.

There is only one master-level black magician, Kaen.

Gilbert said to him.

“It’s a trap. It’s an obvious trick by the enemy to target the prince.”

It was a trap so obvious that it was almost insincere. However, despite Gilbert’s words, Ethan spoke without hesitation.

“……Sir Gilbert, organize a special force. We will go rescue the people immediately.”

“Prince!”

“That’s ridiculous! How can you form a special force in this situation!”

“It’s obvious it’s a trap. Absolutely not!”

Those around him, including Gilbert, began to strongly dissuade him.

But they know too.

That their words would not be accepted.

Ethan looked at them and said.

“If I abandon the people of the kingdom in order to live, can you say that I am on the right path? Do you want to follow such a king?”

“…….”

That’s why they follow Ethan.

Because he loves his people more than himself, and because he knows that he is the only successor who will benefit this Artian kingdom.

But isn’t that only possible if we win this fight?

Gilbert said.

“Then, Your Majesty, you stay here. I will lead the special forces and go.”

“We will bring the special forces and go.”

At their words, Ethan spoke to the other legion commanders, including Seila.

“You should guard this place and move your units. And if there are any signs that the enemy units are moving towards the special forces, you should immediately attack them from behind.”

And the real reason why you have to go.

“Besides, if I don’t show up, there’s no point in forming a special force. The goal isn’t to catch Kaen, but to save people.”

The moment Ethan doesn’t show up, everyone will probably be slaughtered.

Gilbert shut his mouth tightly at those words.

Because there was no way to resolve the situation, and there was no way to stop Ethan.

Then Ethan chuckled and pulled out his sword.

Sling.

“You must have forgotten because you’ve been guarding it for so long. Have you forgotten that I’m an Auror user too, Sir Gilbert?”

“…….”

“Besides, Sir Gilbert’s side is the safest place for me.”

Ethan turned his head and looked at Seyla.

“While I am away, full authority will be given to Count Ceyla. I want you to assess the situation in real time and move your forces. Sir Gilbert and I will lead the special forces and quickly go to rescue the people.”

It won’t take long.

Seila nodded forcefully at Ethan’s words.

“Be careful.”

“You must return safely, Your Majesty.”

With those words, Ethan and Gilbert began to move quickly, leading three hundred soldiers.

Kwajik!

Beneath the giant ogre’s playful trampling feet, a man who had been an old man until just now lay a bloody corpse.

“Hmm… I wonder if that makes sense.”

And Kaen, who was looking at the fifty or so people who had been pushed into a corner, muttered quietly.

I wanted to crack open Dwayne’s skull and look inside to see what was inside his plan for such a childish prank.

‘There’s no way Prince Ethan will come.’

I even thought about just killing them all and reporting that Prince Ethan hadn’t come.

Isn’t that so?

Does it make sense that Prince Ethan would come here himself for such an obvious trick?

And that’s to save less than a hundred of these insect-like creatures.

Kaen simply threw people into the center of the horde of giant ogres as if they were toys.

Five people had already died, but there were still plenty of people left to kill, so it didn’t seem like they’d be bored while waiting.

However, I am so angry that I cannot even speak about the way I am being treated.

“I can’t even be bothered waiting here.”

Kaen, who thought he should just kill them all and go back, got up from his seat. At that moment,

“……under?”

Kaen is an army approaching quickly from afar.

About three hundred people.

And the ones at the forefront are… … .

“Gilbert Regalpona……!”

The only being in the kingdom that he considers his arch-enemy.

You said that the level of swordsmanship he achieved was almost master level?

Moreover, Karen doubted her eyes when she saw the face of the guy riding beside her.

“Prince Ethan…… Heh heh heh.”

Doesn’t that make sense?

Are you saying that the enemy leader is personally moved by such a shallow trick that even a child would understand?

“He is weak, foolish, and stupid. Is that the kind of guy who would fight against Byron……?”

For a moment, I felt sorry for the countless people following him.

Aren’t you following a prince who would risk his life for such a trivial matter?

Sigh.

But that doesn’t matter.

Rather, things just go more easily.

“Gilbert…….”

I’m a little worried about the guy, but it’s all for the best.

Because I thought I absolutely had to have a showdown with that guy.

Rather, if he kills Gilbert, he will no longer have to hide and loiter.

What could he not do with the fame of killing Gilbert, who was one of the highest in the kingdom?

Kaen’s eyes, which had been listless until just a moment ago, began to sparkle with life.

There seemed to be joy in those eyes.

“Then let’s get ready.”

Come to hell.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo-!

The Arrowhead unit is moving at incredible speeds, with vibrations that make the ground shake.

Lian, who was at the very front, had a look of impatience on his face.

‘Faster… … Faster… … !’

The thought that it might already be too late makes me even more anxious.

“Increase the speed!”

“yes-!”

At Lian’s command, the unit members started running faster and faster.

To win this war, which may end as soon as it begins.

‘Please wait a moment… …!’

Lian’s gaze was focused on one point more fiercely than ever.
