The Immortal Genius Spearman (87)
“……sorry.”

Akar lowered his head with a stern expression. But the middle-aged man in front of him simply took a long drag on the cigarette in his mouth.

“… … Phew.”

Unknown emotions disperse into the air along with the smoke.

The man’s cold eyes were fixed on Akar.

“Is there anything you should be sorry about? By the way, did you say Damien? The enemy general you fought against at Maxtree.”

“Yes.”

“Was it strong?”

“Yes, if we fight again, a hundred out of a hundred… I will lose. As of now.”

Akar bit his lip tightly.

The fist attached to his waist trembles.

I could almost tell what kind of emotions he was talking about.

The middle-aged man in front of him spoke to Akar.

“There will come a day when I can repay you. But… … I think there are things that take priority.”

“Yes, please give the order.”

Akar looked at the man in front of him.

A man with an eye patch over one eye and hair that grows out like a lion.

The solid muscles visible along with the huge physique looked like they could even tear apart rocks.

It was Liopold, the cavalry captain of the Kingdom of Irene.

The man with the highest military power in the Kingdom of Irene and the strongest military force.

He said to Akar.

“The Spanish Kingdom guys are making unusual moves on the northwestern border. Stop them and immediately declare war on the Spanish Kingdom.”

“… …Is this how it ends up?”

“The war had already started. We just didn’t know it.”

Immediately after Akar returned, facts that had been spread like conspiracy theories for a while began to surface little by little.

It was the Prime Minister Farel and the Minister of Cavalry, Liopold, who decided on this.

Immediately after the meeting to execute Akar, Farel began to identify all ministers with ties to the Empire.

And after a while, a bloody storm blew through the Kingdom of Irene.

Most of those caught up in the wind were people of high status or wealth.

They were all trash connected to the empire and eating away at the Kingdom of Irene.

In fact, it took quite a long time to make a decision, but it was quick to put it into action.

Just three days.

The number of high-ranking officials killed in it exceeded thirty, and those connected to them lost their lives by over a hundred.

Of course, it cannot be said that all the spies were caught in that short period of time, but it could be seen that they were ready to fight the empire that had been overlooking them.

“And you will be at the forefront, Akar.”

“I will fight for the kingdom with my life!”

Akar shouted.

Riofort nodded and said.

“I’ll leave the northwestern border to you. Get ready to go to war right away.”

“yes.”

Akar’s eyes sparkled as he stood up.

Even though I lost to that guy in the rain.

‘I guess I’ll have to thank you when we meet again.’

Didn’t you owe that guy something?

A sense of tragedy began to gather behind Akar as he headed to the battlefield.

* * *

Penroni, northwestern part of the Kingdom of Irene.

Because it was a city adjacent to the border, the security here was considerably stricter than other places.

But despite this, the Spanish Kingdom’s army had no choice but to head here.

“Since the attack on the Baroque Kingdom has failed, we must overcome this place.”

The man at the forefront spoke with a solemn expression.

He died in the Spanish kingdom, rose to the rank of general, and fought in many battles.

But I can confidently say that there has never been a battlefield as miserable as this one.

‘… …Is it right to hold onto the end of the kingdom like this?’

I had a feeling that it was an act of sending the kingdom’s soldiers to their deaths under the pressure of the empire.

But then… … .

“What are you standing there blankly for?”

“… … It will move without you having to rush it.”

A general who had been standing behind approached with a huge mace slung over his shoulder.

It was as big as two adults stuck together.

Her bulging belly resembled that of a pregnant woman nearing her full term.

However, the cold, gleaming eyes and the hand holding the mace gave off an intense feeling as if it could tear anyone apart.

It was the general of the empire, Pakilonte.

At his appearance, Bevileon, the general of the Spanish Kingdom, let out a small breath and looked forward.

Even though a large number of Irene Kingdom troops have already gathered at the border, that doesn’t matter.

After all, there were two thousand imperial troops gathered behind them.

A total of five thousand troops.

It was an ideal number to hold a bloody festival to mark the beginning of a full-scale war.

It is just a miserable thing that I have to start this war with my own hands, which has no glory.

Kook.

The hand holding the sword is shaking.

I wonder if there will ever come a day when I can avenge this humiliation… … .

‘I will no longer be here by then.’

I was just filled with regret for future generations.

But even though it’s dirty and mean.

‘Because we have to survive to move forward.’

I will walk this dirty path myself.

Swish.

Bevileon looked at the soldiers behind him.

Everyone has a serious expression.

It wasn’t the fear of war.

Everyone will feel the same way.

Bevileon said to him.

“Remember everyone! This war is for our future generations and it is our way of life! Let’s put aside our pride and simply give our lives for a kingdom where our children can smile!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

At Bevileon’s words, the soldiers gave a huge cheer and raised their morale.

Paquilonte, who was watching the scene from behind, burst into laughter.

“You guys are being so noisy. You should hurry up and advance.”

He laughed at Bevileon and his soldiers.

It was so ridiculous that I couldn’t stand the sight of the defeated soldiers of a practically ruined country talking about the future.

And then.

“Lightbulb bang! Charge!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“For the kingdom!”

“Ewww!”

The soldiers’ wild cheers erupted along with Bevileon’s shout.

Soon, soldiers from the Spanish Kingdom rush towards the border of the Kingdom of Irene.

Akar, who was forming a formation behind the border, saw the Spanish Kingdom soldiers running towards him.

“… … What a tragedy.”

I already knew why they were attacking this place.

An empire that ruled over the entire Spanish kingdom.

I guess I was pushed here by that breath.

Kook.

But that doesn’t mean I can give this place away.

Because they also have people they need to protect.

Akar drew his sword.

Soon, in front of the border, there were several large pits covered with branches and bushes, creating traps.

Tactics learned from Maxtree.

Although the traps were at least several hundred meters long, only a few of them were actual pits.

But that alone was enough.

“Archers, darling!”

At Akar’s shout, the archers began to load their arrows and aim them at the sky.

Soon they came within striking distance.

“Fire!”

Jaja …

It felt like shadows were created for a moment as hundreds of arrows shot into the sky at the same time.

Bevileon shouted at the massive arrow attack.

“Everyone, raise your shields! Block the enemy’s attacks and charge forward!”

But soon I saw the bushes growing in front of me.

At first glance, it seemed like a device that covered up a trap.

‘Is it a scarecrow or is it real?’

A moment of hesitation.

But it was too risky to just push through.

Bevileon shouted as he struck down the incoming arrow.

“All troops, stand still! Block the arrows with your shields in your positions. 1st Troop! Move the ladders and 2nd Troop, check the traps!”

“yes!”

It was an urgent situation where arrows were raining down.

The 1st Army, which had rushed ahead on Bevileon’s orders, carried ladders that could be used to move troops, while the 2nd Army began to clear the bushes to check for traps.

“It’s a trap!”

“This place is also a trap!”

The real traps are towards the center.

Bevileon’s expression distorted.

“This is a trick! This is not a trap!”

“This isn’t a trap either!”

A situation where the real and the fake are mixed.

But that doesn’t mean there was time to walk through every bush to check.

“Eww!”

“Kuaaaah! My puaaaal!”

It wasn’t a shield big enough to cover the entire body.

As time passes, the loss of troops continues.

General Bevileon shouted loudly.

“Set up a bridge in the center and move there! Quickly get past the enemy’s traps and enter!”

“yes!”

It was a quick decision in its own way.

The Spanish Kingdom’s soldiers quickly set up ladders in the central area and began to climb over the trap.

Akar’s eyes sparkled at that sight.

“Archers! Prepare for concentrated fire!”

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!

I already had an idea that they would advance towards the center.

Now if we concentrate our attacks in that direction, we can definitely reduce their numbers.

‘It’ll be difficult to worry about defense since you’ll have to climb the ladder.’

This was the moment that became the key point.

Akar shouted with his eyes gleaming.

“Fire!”

But before his shout could even end.

Kwaaaaang!

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

“Eww!”

“… … !”

Akar couldn’t hide his bewilderment at the sudden falling of a rock from the sky.

Where did something like this suddenly come from?

And then.

“……catapult?”

A catapult seen behind the Spanish Kingdom soldiers positioned.

Akar’s expression suddenly distorted at the sudden appearance of the catapult.

‘Did you use magic to hide it so it couldn’t be seen?’

Akar looked at them in confusion.

The imperial army was there from the beginning.

“Hehehehehe, you must have been really embarrassed.”

Paquilonte burst into laughter as he watched the rock fall properly.

“Reload. We will be crossing the border of the Kingdom of Irene today.”

If you can’t cross the border despite all this support, then you’re an idiot.

Paquilonte smirked as he watched the catapult being reloaded again.

That’s a whopping six catapults.

Even a few successful catapult blasts could completely destroy their forward formation.

“Hehe, hehe, hehe, I can already see you panicking and wagging your tail.”

The rain of arrows falling on the heads of the Spanish Kingdom soldiers stopped.

Isn’t this proof that the guys are really flustered because of this catapult?

Paquilonte shouted.

“Run, dogs! Run and bite them! Hahahahahahahahaha!”

But at that moment.

“Lord Paquilonte!”

“… … ?”

The atmosphere was getting more and more heated. But then a soldier approached Pakilonte and poured cold water on him.

“Unidentified troops appear on the left side! They are approaching us quickly!”

“what?”

There are no new troops being supported… … .

What about next to you?

Paquilonte quickly turned his head and looked at the place the soldier had spoken.

And then, before we knew it, a group of troops had come within striking distance.

“… … What is that?”

Soon, Paquilonte’s expression distorted as he saw the mysterious army rushing towards them.
