The Immortal Genius Spearman (139)
Hurrruk!
“Oh, there’s a fire! The wagon carrying food is on fire!”
“Quick, bring something to cover it up! Quick!”
“It’s a flaming arrow! Everyone, raise your shields!”
It was a big mess.
In the fierce battlefield where they were facing each other, swords and spears were moving quickly before my eyes.
Soldiers bowing their heads in fear.
Even soldiers who grit their teeth and thrust their spears at their opponents.
In this place, where everyone grits their teeth and gives each other death as a gift with the will to somehow survive.
“… …Fuck.”
Haymond frowned as he watched the enemy closing in with the blazing fire.
Because as time went by, nothing got better.
furthermore.
“What on earth is General Galveron doing!”
I knew that I was blocking Heinel, but even so, wasn’t it taking too much time?
‘Surely… General Galberon won’t lose, right?’
He has been active on the continent for 20 years already.
Now, doesn’t it make sense for the Imperial Auror Master to be pushed around by an old man who is well over 50 years old?
“Fuck… …Fuck… … !”
If you think about it, there were many strange things about this operation from the beginning.
‘Nothing is working out properly.’
The reinforcements of the Baroque Kingdom that are now attacking them.
Those guys should have died long ago at the hands of General Galberon.
If it weren’t for those guys, the Spanish Kingdom’s army wouldn’t have dared launch a preemptive attack on them.
no…….
“Could it be that this preemptive strike was planned in the minds of the Baroque Kingdom?”
Given the position so far, that was the most likely possibility.
Otherwise, how could the Spanish Kingdom, who were only defending, come out like this?
“What is Paydon doing?”
The battle was still continuing in the formation on the left side.
Even though they said that they were a unit that had annihilated half of the Rose Knights, I thought that there was a lot of exaggeration involved.
‘It is impossible for a regular force to defeat the Knights without a surprise attack.’
Besides, this time it’s Phaedon who’s attacking them.
With so many allies surrounding him, Paydon’s attacks are bound to be fatal to them.
But as the time passed by so quickly, I began to feel impatient.
But then.
Boom!
“… … ?”
Haymond blinked at the sudden loud noise coming from the direction where Phaedon had gone.
A chilling feeling that is felt momentarily.
“What the… what the hell is going on.”
Haymond gritted his teeth and muttered, as if chewing.
* * *
Kwaaang!
There was a loud noise, like metal being torn apart.
The loud noise was enough to make the surrounding imperial soldiers and even the Kion unit members frown momentarily.
But the moment the light bursting around disappears.
dump.
Phaedon, holding the axe with only the handle left, fell to the ground with his entire body torn to pieces.
A hideous corpse, torn to pieces as if bitten by a giant beast.
The faces of the imperial soldiers turned pale at that sight.
“Uh, uh… … .”
“What is this… … What the heck is this… … ?”
I’ve never seen or heard anything like this.
At that moment, everyone around them became silent at the unbelievable sight.
“Kaion Unit!”
Damien, who had been leaning out the window, shouted loudly.
“Huh, huh!”
“yes!”
The Kion troops suddenly came to their senses and answered. Then Damian shouted again.
“Kyle, Kryon! Clear the way! Get out of here!”
“Oh, I understand!”
“Yes, Captain!”
Kyle and Kryon shouted.
“No, chase them!”
“We can’t let them go! Kill them all here!”
The one who was Phaedon’s adjutant shouted.
Even though I was faced with an absurd sight right before my eyes, it would be a huge loss to let them go like this.
one.
‘Phe, Phedon, so quickly… … .’
Phaedon was a general who was quite famous for his skills even within the 3rd Legion.
Even though he knew that it was the Kion unit that had repelled the Rose Knights, there was a reason why Haymond sent Phaedon.
Even knights of intermediate or higher level could not block Phaedon’s axe.
Moreover, when he used his magical powers at full power, even the highest-ranking knights felt threatened.
But that’s all.
‘That little kid… …!’
I wanted to deny it, but I couldn’t turn back what happened before my eyes.
I just have to somehow compensate for this mistake.
“Chase them! Don’t let them go!”
The adjutant’s shout rang out as the soldiers brought by Phaedon began to surround Kion’s unit.
Kyle and Krion gritted their teeth as they watched their retreat slowly closing in front of them.
I was moving as quickly as possible.
“Damn… … I’m going to be surrounded… … !”
“Run faster!”
Krion gritted his teeth and ran. However, his expression could not help but change into one of despair as his retreat route slowly closed.
But then.
“I’ll buy you some time. Come after me quickly.”
“Yes? Sir, Captain!”
Damian kicked the floor hard and passed between Krion and Kyle.
Kyle screamed at the sight of Damien flying out like an arrow in an instant.
“profit!”
Soon, the assault team that was following behind gritted their teeth and ran towards where Damian was.
and.
“Whew, whoosh, whoosh… … !”
Damien, who was physically exhausted from having expended a considerable amount of magical power just a moment ago, ran while breathing heavily.
‘If we get stuck here, all of our unit members will die.’
Damien gripped the window tightly in a situation where he couldn’t stop.
But thanks to Tor-El, isn’t the spear holding up even when you do something as ridiculous as before?
‘Hold on a little longer.’
I couldn’t tell if he was talking to Chang or to himself.
Pavat!
Damian concentrated his magical power into his legs and ran faster.
“Stop it!”
“Here he comes! Stop him!”
And the imperial soldiers thrust out their spears as they saw Damien rushing towards them.
We’ve already seen how strong his attacks are.
So, in order to stop him, you had to attack him first, rather than just prevent him from attacking.
“Attack at the same time!”
“Don’t give him any room to escape!”
Swaaaak!
“Die!”
Damian jumped into the air as he saw a dozen spears reaching out towards him.
thud!
As Damien rose with a strong foot cloud, the guys quickly raised their heads.
But Damien, who was in the air, was already holding the spear with one hand.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t waste time.”
Then, the moment when Damien’s eyes sparkle.
Suaaaaaaah!
Damian’s outstretched spear pierced the Imperial soldier’s head and entered his body.
Kkwaduk!
And Damien, who had dug into them, slaughtered them like an unbridled calf, swinging his spear.
Thud, thud, thud.
In an instant, all the surrounding imperial soldiers fell, creating a gaping hole in the path.
But then.
Sway.
Did I use too much magic power?
Or maybe my body has reached its limit because I’ve been moving too much?
Damien’s body, which was holding the window, shook slightly.
“Damian!”
Kyle, who had been running towards him, ran with Damian on his shoulders.
Damien looked slightly embarrassed, though.
“Just rest for a moment. I’ll get out of here.”
“Leave the rest to us. The other squad leaders in the back will take care of it.”
“… … .”
At Krion’s continued words, Damian turned his gaze to the back of the unit.
Already on both sides, units holding shields were seen defending against the attacks of the imperial soldiers, while archers were seen moving and shooting arrows to provide cover.
Because I was always leading from the front, I couldn’t see what was behind me.
‘Everyone was following along well.’
A slightly reassuring sight.
Damien leaned against Kyle’s shoulder and spoke softly.
“… … Run faster, kid.”
The operation was a complete success.
* * *
Hurrruk!
As soon as the fire started to spread in one place, it quickly spread to the surrounding areas.
The wagon carrying food caught fire, and the soldiers guarding it were finally pushed back.
“… … retreat.”
Haymond eventually chose to retreat.
It was a decision full of regret, but I couldn’t lose any more troops.
‘How on earth did this happen… … .’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer.
I never expected them to launch a preemptive strike, but what was even more surprising was what happened after the battle began.
The soldiers of the empire are excellent.
Although there were some areas where we were outnumbered, didn’t we engage in a close fight with enemies more than twice our size?
‘Where on earth did it all go wrong?’
Swish.
Haymond looked at the disorganized left formation.
The atmosphere on the left formation was quite chaotic, as if a long awl had dug in and stirred the inside.
A deep furrow formed between Haymond’s eyebrows.
“Could it be… that’s why?”
The Kaion unit continued to attack from the inside, preventing them from focusing on the front and right battles.
Are you saying that a mere 300 or so guys pushed them out?
‘… … I can’t understand.’
How on earth should I report this? But in the end… … .
“We are retreating, inform all troops.”
Puuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The trumpet call of the order to retreat suddenly rings out.
The imperial soldiers who were fighting at that sound were startled and turned their heads.
Are you saying they are stepping down?
“shit……!”
“Retreat! Retreat!”
The imperial soldiers began to flee in a hurry.
The soldiers of the Spanish Kingdom, who had gained momentum, and the soldiers of the Baroque Kingdom led by Diorant chased after them with great momentum.
“Stop! This is it!”
“Don’t chase the enemies! Get in formation!”
The commanders quickly lined up their soldiers and watched the fleeing Imperial soldiers.
“… … Did you win?”
Matheus felt an inexplicable thrill as he watched the imperial army retreating further and further away.
They never thought that they would attack the imperial forces first and force them to retreat.
‘really…….’
Is it time for the world to change?
The great wall called the empire.
We launch a preemptive strike against them, who have the most overwhelming power on the continent.
This was something most people never even thought about.
Isn’t that obvious?
No one would rush into a fight against a giant monster, even though they knew they would die.
‘but…….’
If that monster were to eat you, it would be natural to resist.
Even if it attacks while the monster is sleeping.
‘Weren’t we even putting up that minimal resistance?’
What would have happened to the continent if we had been scared and allowed them to advance?
If the Empire had swallowed their own kingdom as planned and advanced on the Baroque Kingdom… … .
“Perhaps the continent has already turned into a sea of fire.”
Even though he had retreated like this, Mateus knew the immense power that the Empire possessed.
If their 300,000 strong army led by the four Auror Masters moves.
‘All other kingdoms must unite their power.’
But that won’t happen easily.
Just preparing such a large army would take a tremendous amount of time.
Swish.
Then Mateus saw a group approaching from afar.
A small independent unit of only 300 men.
but.
‘… …Did that boy create this miracle?’
-We must attack first!
The confident look he displayed in the conference room.
And didn’t you fight hard to penetrate the enemy lines, trample their formation, and give your allies an advantage in battle?
Mateus suddenly thought.
‘… … I’m jealous.’
A Baroque kingdom with such talent.
Mateus’ gaze was fixed on the approaching Damian.
