The Immortal Genius Spearman - Chapter 90

The Immortal Genius Spearman (90)
The imperial forces in the rear were being cleared out at a tremendous speed.

That too with half their number of troops, no, not even half that number.

“… … What kind of guys are they?”

Akar couldn’t hide his bewilderment as he watched the imperial soldiers running away without looking back.

And as the Empire’s soldiers began to retreat, the remaining Spanish Kingdom forces also began to waver.

General Bevileon looked in disbelief as he watched the fleeing Imperial forces.

“What… happened?”

The imperial general who had been shouting from behind was nowhere to be seen.

Only the soldiers who lost their commanders are running away like a rabble and dying.

‘Like this… … vainly… … ?’

What did they come here for?

What did you give your life for?

How can they push themselves in and escape so easily?

Kkuddukk.

Blood seeped out from inside his clenched fist.

I felt that their situation was very pitiful.

but…….

‘… … And yet, we are in a situation where we cannot escape.’

In any case, we must burn all the sparks here. Only then… … .

‘I wanted to see you one more time.’

I haven’t even heard my dad’s voice once yet.

I remembered the face of the child wringing his hands before going out to the battlefield.

Even though I am fading away here… … .

“Burn everything here! Our families will live in our homeland! Bury all our bones here!”

“Yes! I understand!”

The soldiers of the Spanish kingdom shouted loudly.

Before we knew it, their faces had turned bright red and some were shedding tears.

But they fought.

Not for themselves, but for their families.

And so the flames of the battlefield were dying down.

* * *

“I never thought we would meet again so soon.”

“I didn’t expect that either.”

When we met again on the battlefield, the atmosphere of Akar had changed somewhat.

‘It looks like there’s been quite a bit going on inside.’

When people get caught up in the political maelstrom, they usually feel completely drained.

Even if that’s not the case, there are times when you feel quite low on energy.

That’s what Akar is like now.

It’s only been a few months since we broke up, but it feels like years have passed.

But Akar spoke calmly to Damian.

“How did you do it?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You’re talking about the battle with the Imperial Army earlier. With just a hundred men… … you were able to push back two thousand Imperial troops?”

“No matter how many there are of such a rabble, they are meaningless.”

I was sincere.

A bunch of trash who just pushed forward the soldiers of the Spanish Kingdom and had no intention of doing anything.

Even the general commanding them is probably not a very well-known figure within the empire.

‘I wonder if he’s just famous for his eccentric personality.’

Damien knows.

I’m talking about the true elite of the empire and the excellent knights.

When they advanced.

No one could stop them, and the continent became a sea of ​​blood.

There was nothing they could do about the force of a natural disaster, like a bloody whirlwind.

“… … The truth is something else.”

“hmm?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Damien, who had been muttering softly, shook his head.

More importantly, it is Akar who has taken the lead.

“Still, it seems like it was resolved well.”

“I’ll tell you that I had a little help from you.”

Because it was Damian who gave me confidence in the parts that I was actually doubtful about.

Akar thanked Damian. Damian just smiled faintly.

“You guys figured it out, so there’s no need to thank me. There’s still more work to be done.”

For now, I just put out a quick complaint.

Akar nodded at Damian’s words.

“Are you going back now?”

“We should go back. Our mission is to help you stop the Imperial Army.”

“… … I heard there’s talk of an alliance between our kingdom and the Baroque kingdom.”

“I’ll leave that up to the higher-ups. If we form an alliance, we might meet again.”

After shaking hands briefly with Akar, Damian turned around and headed towards his unit members.

Damien looked at his men and asked.

“Surely there aren’t any idiots who died in a battlefield like this?”

“Yes, there isn’t.”

“doesn’t exist!”

Several of the troops answered. But… … .

“… … .”

Except for the squad leaders who had been in combat at the previous border 3rd branch, this was the first combat experience for the rest of the unit.

‘Still, it’s not that harsh of an experience.’

But the emotions the guys felt on the actual battlefield where people were dying seemed quite shocking.

Because most of the unit members had very stiff expressions on their faces.

But then.

“Sir! Squad Leader Jerka has hurt his arm!”

“Hey, hey you little shit!”

Kyle looked at Jerka and shouted at Damian. Damian responded with a pretended serious expression.

“When you get back, Jerka, make sure to ask the instructor to increase the amount of training you do.”

“Ahhh?! Commander, that’s it!”

“Hahahahaha, you were being annoying, but you look good.”

Kyle, who was standing next to me, burst out laughing and said,

A few of the men who had been frozen in place burst into laughter, and the others began to draw small lines at the corners of their mouths.

Kyle played a prank to lighten the mood that had become tense after the first real match.

Jerka didn’t seem to know it was a joke though.

“You all worked hard. But there will be more operations like this in the future. Be strong and pull yourself together. Got it?”

“Yes, I understand!”

We are back to our original Kaion unit.

Damian said to the unit members’ thunderous answers.

“I’m back.”

Having successfully completed their first operation, the Kion unit returned to Balpate.

And at the same time.

It seemed like something was already happening quickly at the higher-ups.

* * *

The conference room of the Baroque kingdom.

It was a meeting of the highest officials of the kingdom, and was only held when important national affairs were to be dealt with.

“I appreciate you all gathering here despite your busy schedule. Then, let’s start the meeting right away.”

He was the prime minister of the Baroque kingdom, Mathews.

His long beard and eyebrows slightly covering his eyes were already turning white.

A calm impression.

He felt like an old man who had lived in the neighborhood for a long time, but he had a cold gaze that overpowered everything else.

The ministers nodded at Mateus’ words.

Soon, the secretary presiding over the meeting pointed to a map on the wall.

“Currently, we are continuously detecting that the Cartelia Empire is using the Spanish Kingdom to start wars with other kingdoms. Perhaps… … this does not seem to be simply a case of tyranny against neighboring countries.”

Besides, now that it has been revealed, they will no longer be able to use the Spanish Kingdom.

Hadn’t the two previous attacks on the Kingdom of Baroque and the Kingdom of Irene already been thwarted?

“I even remember that the invasion of our kingdom took quite a lot of effort.”

“The chief secretary of the Royal Department, Count Laclaman, who was sitting on the left side of the conference room, said:

The incident that everyone knows about.

Everyone nodded with uncomfortable expressions. Then Matheus asked Laclaman.

“What are your thoughts, Your Majesty?”

“I am quite uncomfortable. The Empire’s military might may be strong, but it cannot cover the entire continent… … Judging from their recent actions, it seems as if they are about to declare war against every kingdom on the continent.”

It is not something new that the empire has been dreaming of unifying the continent.

Because they always had the ambition to devour other kingdoms.

That’s why when the empire started a war, all the surrounding countries became very nervous.

What justifications they have and how much power they have acquired.

The war with the former Spanish kingdom was one that no other kingdom could get involved in.

I had a clear justification for this, and I thought it would end at an appropriate level as long as the Spanish Kingdom was not completely absorbed.

But when I checked the current movement, it was not a situation where I could just sit back and watch.

They want to completely swallow up the Spanish kingdom and make it their own.

“Why do you think the Empire is suddenly acting like this?”

“I don’t know. But… … if I were to make a prediction, wouldn’t it be that they are now ready?”

“Our judgment is the same.”

The one who responded to Laclaman’s answer was the 2nd Corps Commander, Victor.

He was one of the generals representing the Baroque kingdom.

At Victor’s answer, Matheus looked at him and asked.

“If that is your judgment, what do you mean?”

“As Count Laclaman just said, they are ready to wage war against the Continent.”

“… … That means.”

“It’s not like the number of troops suddenly increased by a huge amount… … or that magic engineering suddenly developed, then there’s only one thing we can predict.”

For a moment, Victor’s eyes turned cold.

“… … Doesn’t that mean the number of Auror Masters has increased?”

At those words, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze and became cold.

Auror Master.

Because everyone here knew how much power those words had.

Mateus swallowed hard.

“Aren’t there currently three Auror Masters in the Empire?”

“Yes, officially so far.”

“But does that mean that the number of Auror Masters has increased? Does that mean there are now four?”

“Maybe more than that.”

Victor was sure.

Because if not, this kind of atmosphere doesn’t make sense.

“The Auror Master alone has enough power to dominate the battlefield. It is said that he can fight against ten thousand soldiers with his own strength.”

Auror Masters are a race that can be called a natural disaster in and of itself.

In order to stop them, an Aura Master of the same level must step forward.

There are currently two Auror Masters in the Baroque Kingdom.

Even the Baroque Kingdom, the second most powerful nation after the Empire, only has two Auror Masters.

furthermore…….

“The small kingdoms, including the Spanish Kingdom, do not have even one Auror Master.”

“There is one general in the Kingdom of Spain who handles Auras, though he cannot be called a Master. And there are two in the Kingdom of Artian.”

The Artian Kingdom, located to the left of the Baroque Kingdom.

The kingdom furthest from the empire.

Because it was located on the outskirts of the continent, it was a country that was pursuing friendly diplomacy with the neighboring kingdom of Baroque.

It was thanks to the existence of the Baroque Kingdom and the Artian Kingdom that the balance of the continent was maintained until now.

But if by any chance the Empire has secured more than four Auror Masters… … .

“If that’s the case, then we should consider it as a loss of balance. The level of soldiers of the Empire is far superior to the others.”

The quality of the soldiers is excellent, and there are many of them.

Come there and master.

There is no reason for the empire to cower any longer.

However, if we reveal this right away, there will likely be strong resistance from other kingdoms…

“We have been moving so secretly, but now that we have been discovered, we will no longer move under the surface.”

The expressions of the officials in the conference room hardened at Victor’s words.

That means.

“Now the guys will start the war in earnest.”
