The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant - The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant chapter 119

Prepared, Forgotten Lands (6)

“The gates are open!”

“Go in!”

The moment the headquarters of the Knights of the Sun reached the citadel, the tightly closed gate opened, revealing the interior.

The knights who were occupying the entrance immediately opened the gate.

“What, what are these bastards!”

“Enemies! Esteban’s thugs are attacking!”

Ding Ding Ding Ding-!

The barbarians who were resting in the dark woke up in a panic in the commotion.

In an instant, the inside of the citadel became a mess, and the savage warriors who woke up unexpectedly grabbed their axes and approached the source of the commotion.

However, the Sun Knights did not leave them alone.

“You can’t be surrounded by them!”

“Come on, spread!”

“Destroy the buildings around you!”

Woo-woo-!

squeak-

“Muh, it’s collapsing!”

“You bastards! damage!”

Quarreureung!

Everything that touched the colorful auras, from the building they were resting to the pedestal where they hung the torch, collapsed.

The area where the Knights of the Sun were standing was covered with rubble from collapsed buildings and torches burning on the ground.

Also, some barbarians were swept away by it and disappeared without even being able to resist.

That was what the Sun Knights wanted.

“Deal with the approaching barbarians!”

“insect!”

The range of battle was limited through terrain features. Now there was only one direction they could attack in front of them.

It is also a small gap that only one or two people can enter at most.

“I am confident in one-on-one battles.”

The lips of the knights who each took their places and raised their swords curved in an arc.

… … And there was someone watching the scene.

“My, my God, you cheeky bastards… … !”

heo-eok- heo-eok-

A barbarian shaman was running breathlessly through the citadel.

A sudden attack of enemy forces. And inside the citadel in the crucible of chaos.

It was clear that the great warriors who had been sent out before must have suffered.

‘I have to raise the beacon as soon as possible!’

First of all, it was the first priority to inform the surrounding fortress of the raid.

There were only a hundred raiders, but I didn’t think that would be the end.

It was necessary to raise the beacon as soon as possible to send reinforcements.

However, as they approached the beacon, an unknown sensation touched the shaman’s skin.

Swoop-

‘… … That’s it.’

Was it luck?

The shaman, hiding behind cover and concealing his presence, was able to see several corpses lying in the darkness.

… … Needless to say, it was the corpse of a tribal warrior.

The shaman contorted his face and began to back away.

‘To think that the beacon has already been taken over… … !’

It was self-evident that if he had run to that place, he would have collapsed in the same way, although he didn’t know it.

Then there was only one way left.

‘The shaman has to pierce them with magic.’

With the shaman’s magic, it was possible to recapture that beacon.

If the beacon was recaptured and the enemies were cursed, there was a high possibility that the war would turn smoothly this way.

‘… … But what is the shaman doing in this situation?’

It was a fundamental question.

If it was this loud, it wouldn’t be strange if magic had already poured over their heads, but the chaotic interior was unmoving.

‘Are you still at the residence?’

The shaman’s expression contorted once more. It is because the location of the residence was farther away than expected.

But anyway, in order to deliver the information about the beacon, they had to find a shaman.

There were not too many ways to overcome this situation, so there was no choice.

Swoop-

The shaman took advantage of the confusion to pull himself out of cover.

Then he carefully ran along the outer edge of the citadel and made his way towards the dwelling.

That was the moment we almost reached the shaman’s residence.

“powwow?”

“… … !”

“Oh, I was waiting just in case, but you really came?”

The shaman was taken aback by the voice he heard right next to him.

When I turned my gaze to the direction where the sound came from, a man in golden armor was approaching me.

It was an article that still had a soft spot on it.

“Sheesh!”

Woo-woo-!

The shaman urgently made a hand sign to attack him.

However, the knight’s sword that pierced his chest was faster than that.

Fu-wook!

“… … Gagging!”

patter-

Countless drops of blood flowed from the sword that pierced his chest.

“dog… … young… … .”

“what.”

dump-

The shaman fell dead with his eyes wide open, and soon the knight approached the shaman’s corpse with a proud smile on his lips.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Finally, you’ve accomplished something worthy of a real feat.”

… … Fourth year knight Bennet Refre.

He made an unexpected achievement by reducing the number of enemy mages in the battle of the fortress.

That’s how the six wizards who were supposed to deliver this attack lost their lives.

* * *

The long night has passed.

Occasionally, a hazy smoke and the sickening smell of blood. And the corpses hanging here and there told us how horrible what had happened here the night before.

It was well past afternoon when the troops from the garrison that had been contacted arrived here.

“… … Well over a thousand.”

“exactly. I estimate it to be around 1,100.”

“Did the Sun Knights handle all that many?”

“Why not? No matter how barbarian warriors we are, we cannot stop the Sun Knights.”

Roder nodded his head with a seemingly nonchalant expression.

But it was visible in George’s eyes. A feeling of pride that is subtly hidden within it, that it is very proud.

George smiled and shrugged.

“Well, first of all, I understand. What about the casualties?”

“There were four serious injuries that made it difficult to move, and there were no fatalities. Most of the rest can be considered minor injuries.”

“I brought the healers, so let’s treat them right away.”

“Okay.”

George, who called the injured and handed them over to the healer, immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the inside of the fort.

Then, he looked at Roder, who was relentlessly following him, and asked.

“By the way, where did His Highness go?”

“hmm… … He said he had something else to do last night and then disappeared.”

George’s eyes narrowed.

“You mean you don’t know where he went?”

“You didn’t tell me that.”

“No, this nobleman is needlessly going somewhere else… … .”

George grumbled and looked around the inside of the fort.

There were corpses all around. If they were told to occupy it even this way, they would have to at least explain the reason and go, but there was no such thing.

As if it was left to move on its own… … .

“Vice-captain! Communication has arrived!”

“… … hmm?!”

At that time, a member of the Sun Knights shouted. George and Roder reacted simultaneously and approached the knight.

“Communication… … Could it be a communication from His Highness, Prince 1?”

“That’s right.”

“Huh! Come see me.”

Roder cautiously opened his mouth while accepting the communication magic orb in the knight’s hand.

non-woven-

“majesty? Can you hear me?”

– I hear you.

“This side of the citadel is over. Where is Your Highness?”

– Come out for a while.

“Hey, I’m with you for a while… … .”

It’s not like going for a walk… … .

Roder’s bewildered expression was felt without filtering from his voice.

“Haa, please change it.”

“… … hmm? Oh, here it is.”

Looking at this, George let out a short sigh and took over the magic orb.

“This is George. So what about the Citadel? Do you want to use it as a substitute for a garrison?”

-Is the inside tidying up?

“Almost done.”

-Then, don’t delay and advance your troops north with the Sun Knights.

“… … yes?”

George’s eyes widened as he heard Prince 1’s instructions over the communication.

It was because the order he received was absurd.

“What do you mean by that? I’m sure the battle fatigue hasn’t healed yet, right?”

-The barbarians built forts around here to block Esteban’s army. That means that the defense in the rear is rather poor.

“Citadels? Are there more places like this around?”

– A total of three places. It is the number of forts they have set up to prevent Esteban’s attack.

“Ah, yes.”

Then I couldn’t understand it any more.

Leaving aside the poor defenses, it was clear that if they continued to advance north, they would be surrounded in the process of building a defensive line.

If so, wouldn’t it be better to push their troops neatly up as planned rather than recklessly advancing north?

– Do not delay and move.

However, Prince 1 gave such a firm order.

No wonder where he is and what he is doing… … One such prince.

“… … Well, I’ll get it right away.”

So George nodded and agreed.

‘Even though this man doesn’t exist out of nowhere, one thing is certain.’

As always, there was a reason.

George looked at Roder and said.

“I will move right now. I will be leading the troops, so please gather the knights.”

“Hmm… … I see.”

Vice-captain Roder tilted his head and left.

George looked at it, then opened his mouth to the magic orb that had not yet been cut.

“So, where should I go up?”

-Proceed north to the end of the defense line, which was scheduled for occupation.

“That means… … .”

– I will occupy the desired land as quickly as possible.

… … okay.

It meant ending this war at once, without having to look at it for a long time.

George shrugged.

* * *

“Im here!”

a few days later

The troops led by George and the Knights of the Sun arrived at the desired location without any obstacles.

Of course, there were barbarians roaming around, but with the quick response of the Knights of the Sun, they succeeded in dealing with them safely.

The cold weather magic engraved on the armor also helped to overcome the environment.

“This is what I meant by moving as fast as possible.”

… … Move before it is revealed that the citadel is occupied.

It was literally an okay operation, but in the end it was the case when excluding the two forts remaining in the rear.

Even if he didn’t know it, he would have confirmed Esteban’s movements, so there was a high possibility that barbarians would attack from the rear soon.

“… … First of all, the terrain is good.”

George stroked his chin and looked around.

There is a high hill in front, and a naturally created gorge to the side cuts off the troops.

Indeed, it was understandable that Prince 1 wanted to create a new border area around this place.

Because it was the most efficient position, where you could make a profit and easily block their troops.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to check to see what they were thinking.”

non-woven-

-Are you there?

“Yes, what. Yes.”

As soon as the communication was connected, the voice of the first prince was heard.

George smoked a joke as he sliced his coat in the gust of wind.

“Now, can we stop the barbarians here and wait for Your Highness to come?”

-There is no need for that. put the troops back. The hill is 500 meters in radius.

“… … .”

Another incomprehensible command came out.

However, having already come this far, there was no need to heed the order.

After killing all of his troops, George started communicating again.

“I was bitten.”

-Good job. Be prepared for any shocks that might happen.

“… … yes?”

That was the moment.

Woo woo woo woo!

Koo-goo-goo-goo!

The ground began to shake as if it were toppled over with a reverberation as if the air were vibrating.

It was such a huge flow of magical power that even George, who had built a wall against martial arts, could understand it.

“This, what kind of crazy thing is this man doing again this time!”

Despite George’s cry, the vibration continued.

Before long, the heavens opened and a great radiance illuminated the earth.

George as well as the soldiers looked at the scene, lowering their posture on the shaking ground.

“… … !”

Then, I was stunned by the scene I witnessed.

A building that emerges from the open sky.

Surely, something I had seen somewhere was falling from the sky to the ground.

“… … acropolis?”

It was clear that the fort he had seen a few days before. The sun knights occupied it, and they organized it.

But it didn’t end there.

far away… … Similar-looking forts were appearing in places where originally the defenses should have been built, and the same phenomenon was occurring beyond the ridges along the gorge.

coo goo goo-

A total of three fortresses appeared from the sky. And the order of the first prince to withdraw from this place.

Eventually, it slowly sank and was partially crushed and toppled by the impact of falling.

“… … crazy.”

Perhaps, that meant one thing.

“What you’re trying to do is, did you teleport those big things here?”

George’s expression was contorted to the point of absurdity.
