The Immortal Genius Spearman (88)
“Is it not too late?”
Damian, who had arrived at the border, spoke softly as he watched the Spanish Kingdom troops moving in the distance.
Diana, who had come closer, asked Damian.
“But is it right for us to participate in this war?”
“Leave diplomatic issues between nations to our superiors. We simply faithfully carry out the orders given to us.”
“……All right.”
Diana nodded.
I had a lot of thoughts on my way here.
I wonder if it is right to get involved in another kingdom’s war in this age of peace.
But Damien just gave me a clear answer.
They are soldiers.
No matter what your political ideology, follow orders first.
Damien looked at Diana and smirked.
This is because the expression on the guy’s face, which had seemed quite complicated until now, seemed to have become a little more relaxed.
“Aim for the enemy’s flank from the top of the ridge along here. The most urgent task is to get close without being detected.”
“Here… … the terrain is more rugged than other places.”
“So you can’t go?”
Damien asked. Diana burst into laughter at that.
“No way. Those who say this is hard must have been playing around while training.”
Diana turned her head and looked at her men.
“We’re going to follow the ridge here and flank the enemy. The path is likely to be very rough. Are there any troops who can’t follow us?”
Diana asked her men.
The unit members burst into laughter at that.
“There is no terrain here that would give us trouble!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll follow you even if you tell me to climb the rock!”
“Hehe, you’re so heavy it’ll be hard to climb. Don’t show off!”
“Shut up, you punk.”
The atmosphere began to heat up with giggles.
Damien nodded to him.
“Then let’s move ahead of the enemies.”
Diana nodded.
“All troops, move.”
With Damian’s words, the Kion unit began to move quickly.
and…….
“… … Phew.”
The Kaion unit, which had broken through the long ridge at a fast pace, lowered their bodies while catching their breath.
Before they knew it, soldiers wearing different types of armor had arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Irene.
But at that moment.
“… … !”
At some point, the catapult they had been dragging from behind disappeared from sight.
A catapult that only makes a sound of movement.
Diana approached him and asked.
“I can only hear the sound of the catapult moving, but I can’t see it, so I wonder if it’s because of magic.”
“… … .”
Damien quickly looked at the guys behind him.
They are soldiers of the empire.
But the wizard was nowhere to be seen among them.
Damien bit his lip tightly.
‘Did you use an artifact?’
To completely hide that large catapult, you’d need an artifact that could use fairly advanced magic.
But in this small battlefield, it’s an artifact.
‘The Empire… is it an Empire?’
The scale of investment in the battlefield was incomparable to that of a regular army.
If the Kingdom of Irene does not know about the existence of the catapult.
‘The display must be postponed in an instant.’
Otherwise, their only option is to tangle with the soldiers of the Spanish Kingdom and fight… … .
“It’s not easy.”
What’s worse, the Empire would fire its catapults without paying attention to the Spanish Kingdom’s soldiers.
In any case, from the guys’ point of view, the soldiers of the Spanish Kingdom were nothing more than expendable items.
Even if we kill them together, it won’t be a big loss.
After all, what they want is to cross this border and enter Penroni.
“Send the word to each team leader. They will attack immediately after the catapult makes its first attack.”
Once the catapults start firing, there will be no hiding their presence.
Once the invisibility spell is lifted, you should immediately target the catapult and attack it.
“Break the supports that hold up the catapult. If even one breaks, the catapult won’t be able to function.”
“All right.”
Diana quickly relayed Damien’s orders to the commanders.
Eventually, the unit members who had learned the plan held their breath and waited for Damien’s signal.
And not long after.
Kuuung!
With a tremendous sense of pressure, huge rocks flew towards where the soldiers of the Kingdom of Irene were.
Kwaaaaang! Kwarreung!
A disaster falling from the sky.
As the catapult fell into the Irene Kingdom’s formation, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed in an instant.
This was the power of siege catapults.
And at that moment.
“Kaion Unit, charge!”
“Oh my god!”
Diana ran forward, shouting loudly.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Kill the enemies!”
“Destroy the catapult support first! Kyle! You lead your men to the catapult at the back! Jerka, Terka! You each take a turn and destroy the catapult!”
“All right!”
“yes!”
The order was quickly transmitted and the troops rushed toward the catapult in unison.
Damian ran towards the catapults at the front and saw the Imperial soldiers blocking the way.
“What, what is it!”
“The enemy! The enemy has appeared!”
The imperial soldiers shouted belatedly, but they had already encountered the Kion forces.
Damian, who was holding the spear, looked at the imperial soldiers with cold eyes.
“We finally meet, dogs of the empire.”
How long have I waited for this moment?
Isn’t your real enemy the empire?
‘I’ll slaughter them all.’
Unlike before, Damien’s eyes flashed fiercely.
And the spear in his hand.
Puppupupupupupup!
In an instant, it pierced through the bodies of three soldiers.
Thud, thud, thud.
Imperial soldiers who died without even putting up any resistance.
Diana, who was following behind Damien, felt a chill run down her spine for a moment.
‘… … This is Damien?’
It felt completely different from the Damien he had seen so far.
furthermore.
‘He’s a completely different person than he was four months ago.’
It wasn’t just me who got stronger during that time.
Damien, too, was moving forward with all his might.
Kook.
Diana put strength into the swords he held in both hands.
I had no intention of leaving it to Damien alone.
Pavat!
Diana quickly charged forward, slashing at the Imperial soldiers.
At that sight, Damian, who was standing next to her, glanced at Diana.
‘… … It’s pretty stable?’
In a real battle, the enemy’s momentum could have been daunted by the speculation, but Diana pressed on and attacked the enemy instead.
Damien said at that sight.
“I will destroy the catapult first. Defend this place with your men.”
“All right!”
With Diana’s answer, Damian ran straight towards the catapult in front of him.
The imperial soldiers shouted in surprise.
“No, their target is the catapult! Protect the catapult!”
“Guard the catapult! Stop them!”
But unfortunately, the guys had no power to stop Damian.
Pavabat!
Damian quickly ran towards the catapult and killed the soldiers in front of him.
And he stood in front of the catapult and raised his magic power.
Wooooow!
The magical power that spread throughout Damian’s body eventually stopped at the tip of the spear and vibrated strongly.
“Ugh… … !”
Damien took a deep breath and then stopped breathing.
Damien twisted his waist, the muscles in his entire body bulging taut.
The moment Damien, holding the spear with both hands, turns his body again and extends the spear towards the catapult’s support.
Suaaaaaaah!
Kkwaddudduk!
Damien’s spear destroyed the catapult’s support.
The tree that was firmly fixed was breaking as if torn apart.
Kwarung! Kwarrurung!
One of the catapults collapsed and was completely destroyed.
and…….
“… … It’s late.”
Damien looked at a general who was approaching him fiercely.
* * *
Kwarrung!
The boulder that fell from the sky was truly a disaster for the soldiers of the Kingdom of Irene.
“Blood, damage!”
“After the rock falls, a lot of debris flies out! Everyone, block the debris with your shields!”
“You can’t avoid the fragments! Block them with your shield!”
“Medic here! Medic! There’s a wounded man!”
All it took was a few rocks falling, and the situation had changed completely.
I didn’t even think about shooting arrows at the enemies who were trying to get through the trap by building a bridge.
Akar had to make a decision in a dire situation.
‘It sticks.’
There were two ways to stop that catapult.
One was to pull back the army and get out of range of the catapults, and the second was to engage the Spanish Kingdom soldiers and fight them.
Then the guys won’t be able to use the catapults anymore.
But for Akar, retreat meant having his land trampled by them.
“Put down your bows, take up your shields and spears! Advance! The bows are ahead! Everyone advance!”
Akar shouted and quickly led his troops forward, running.
Even at this time, the catapult will be preparing to reload.
“Eww!”
“Run! Whoaaaaah!”
At Akar’s shout, the soldiers shouted loudly and started to run towards the Spanish Kingdom soldiers.
But that was the moment.
bang!
With a loud noise, something strange began to enter Akar’s sight.
“……uh?”
Because one of the catapults that had been standing tall tilted to the side and fell over.
And the new army you see next to it.
‘That’s… … ?’
Akar’s eyes shook.
What is that unit that suddenly appeared?
Are you an ally?
It was clear that they were friendly forces since they were destroying the catapult, but their identity was unknown.
Could it be that the support force that is in charge of this operation is unknown to him?
but.
“Reinforcements have arrived! Slaughter all enemies!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!”
As Akar shouted, the soldiers running towards him shouted even louder.
Then Akar looked back at the soldiers at the rear and spoke.
“Archers, take up your bows again and shoot at the enemy! Shoot arrows at as many enemies as possible before our troops reach you!”
Although the operation was changing in real time, the soldiers did not panic and quickly began to transition.
“The soldiers in the lead, raise your shields to block the enemies! Shout your orders so that the other soldiers can hear!”
“Soldiers in the lead, raise your shields and block the enemy!”
“Soldiers in the lead, raise your shields and block the enemy!”
Akar’s orders began to spread quickly.
“Archers in the rear, shoot your arrows again!”
“Archers in the rear, shoot your arrows again!”
At the command that spread in an instant, arrows once again began to rain down on the heads of the Spanish Kingdom soldiers.
“Eww!”
“Run! We have to catch up with those guys quickly!”
It was a total mess.
The battlefield was taking a new turn with the sudden appearance of a new unit.
And at that sight, Paquilonte exploded with anger.
“Do you dare to interfere with the imperial ceremony!”
Paquilonte charged towards the suddenly appearing troops, holding the large mace he had on his shoulder.
Before I knew it, one of the catapults was completely destroyed and rolling around on the ground.
Corpses of dead imperial soldiers and broken catapults.
Paquilonte glared at Damian in front of him as if he was going to kill him.
“You won’t die completely. I’ll crush your whole body like a meatball!”
His angry shout engulfed the Kion troops with an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
But at that moment.
“Affiliation and name.”
“… … ?”
Damien looked at the guy and spoke softly.
Paquilonte frowned at that.
Because I felt a chill run down my spine for a moment.
Damien asked again, ignoring the guy’s expression.
“Tell me your affiliation and name. I will tear you limb from limb and kill you.”
At those words, Paquilonte simply swallowed silently.
