Chapter 306 – Battle of Miliones (7) *Yuno Naval Uniform Illustration*
Battle of Miliones (7)
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no way the 2nd Balkan Fleet could arrive at that time, so Count Gisco was panicked and quickly climbed the mast, and saw that numerous ships that seemed to really cover the sea were crushing his fleet that was pursuing the 1st Fleet. I was able to.
Because the Royal Navy of Leon was unable to escape using its unique mobility because it was trying to chase down the 1st Balkan Fleet and annihilate it, they ended up allowing the 2nd Balkan Fleet to approach.
The Corvus rammed into the Leon Kingdom ship using the speed that had come from afar, slamming down on the drawbridge at the aft to secure the ship’s hull, and the heavy infantrymen rushed over.
It was a battle between marines and heavy infantry, who were no match for close combat power, and as the 1st and 2nd fleets merged and were outnumbered, Leon’s marines began to be quickly destroyed.
“Princess!! Our main force is being destroyed by the enemy support fleet.”
“I know too!!”
Since the main force was pushed back, the only option left for them was to destroy the enemy’s flagship and take Eliza prisoner, so Count Gisco shouted to Fiona and informed her of the situation.
As soon as Fiona understood the situation, she tried to suppress Eliza by maximizing her mana, but Eliza hardly fell.
“Uuuuu…
“Ha… Ha… Sister. I’m sorry, but it would be better to give up on the idea of taking me prisoner and taking over our fleet. You are definitely stronger than me, but… With such a clumsy sword that you can’t find anything to live with. “It’s not enough to be beaten!!”
Cheaeng!!
Rather, seeing Eliza go on the offensive and even push her away, Fiona bit her lower lip.
‘Tsk… I wonder if there’s still strength left after all that pressure… But there’s still quite a bit of time for the enemy’s 2nd fleet over there to defeat our main fleet and get here…’
After making a rough calculation of the time, Fiona returned to her focus on her duel with Eliza and began to corner her sister once again, when the urgent voice of her watchman was heard in her ears.
“Enemy reinforcements have appeared!! We are now approaching the flagship White Star, cutting through the ocean current in a straight line!! This is an incredible speed!!”
“!! Lord Gisco!! Please prepare for enemy reinforcements!!”
When she heard that reinforcements had appeared, Fiona wanted to see the situation with her own eyes, but since Eliza in front of her was her top priority, she called Count Gisco.
“Woah, reinforcements!? Damn it!! That’s ridiculous!! No matter how much the mermaid’s festival has subsided, the rough sea currents will still remain. How could that massive Vulcan battleship… Besides, have the capacity to even organize reinforcements? There is no way!!”
Upon hearing Fiona’s voice, Count Gisko distorted his face in embarrassment.
With nervous eyes, he was leading his troops to quickly suppress the Balkan heavy infantry. When he heard the news that reinforcements had appeared, he immediately jumped on the mast and observed the sea next to the watchman.
However, no matter how much he looked, Count Gisco could not find a large fleet, so he had to send a guard.
“Where are the enemy reinforcements?”
“Hey, it’s there!! It’s going at such an incredible speed that I think we’ll reach the main ship in the next 30 minutes!!”
“Where on earth are they… Hmm? Ha, just one?!”
Looking at the direction pointed by the watchman, Count Gisco was able to spot a ship approaching quickly.
However, unlike the gigantic Corvus, a common battleship in the Balkans, the ship was in the shape of a normal battleship, so he sighed in relief and quickly shook his head.
‘If even many reinforcements showed up here, the enemy’s morale would have risen significantly… But if it was just an ordinary battleship, it wouldn’t matter much. Considering that it was a battleship that could carry 250 people when fully packed, and that the bottom of the ship was not deeply submerged, it was clear that not even a hundred of her troops were on board. The enemy 2nd Fleet commander must have seen that the flagship was in danger and sent a regular battleship that can sail quickly. With such a few reinforcements, the morale of the enemy soldiers, who were disappointed by the small number, would actually drop! Destroy the enemy soldiers in one fell swoop and capture the empress!!’
After thinking, Count Gisco rushed back to the battlefield and took command of his troops.
“Don’t worry about enemy reinforcements!! It’s just one ship and less than a hundred people!! So don’t worry about that, quickly annihilate the enemy and capture the enemy flagship!!”
Wow
Count Gisco’s loud cry that there were less than a hundred reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Leon Marines, and conversely, it significantly lowered the morale of the Balkan Army, who were anxiously awaiting the news of the arrival of reinforcements.
“I also agree with what the author said!!”
“Big, boss?”
The soldiers looked at him in bewilderment when McMorin agreed with the enemy commander’s cry, despite the fact that the opponent’s claim was false.
“Don’t worry about reinforcements!! When are you saying that we were waiting for reinforcements? Who are we? Aren’t we a bodyguard corps? Isn’t it shameful that he is fighting for us when it is not enough to protect the Empress? ?”
“B-but… The opponent is the master…”
Pow!!
“What if it’s a Master?! A guy with big balls is so scared… Is being a Master a big deal? If an enemy Master attacks right away, are you just going to point out his head and ask him to kill you?”
“Well, it’s not that, but…”
“That’s it! Don’t be scared even if the enemy master comes!! Don’t be scared even if reinforcements don’t come!! It’s tenacity!! It’s persistence!! Do you understand?!”
It was nonsense, but anyway, the morale of the legionnaires, who had fallen to the bottom due to his actions, was able to recover, and they were able to continue to withstand the cruel offensive of the Kingdom of Leon Navy.
However, the appearance of the Balkan army was observed in detail through the eyes of Count Gisco.
‘Hmm… That guy was the problem. Leverkin is in charge of commanding the ship, and that guy is in charge of commanding the heavy infantry. Somehow, even though Count Leverkin was away, his soldiers were able to hold on… That guy was the cause.’
Since McMorin was blocking the offensive together at the front line and rotating reserve troops to the right place, the heavy square was still withstanding the offensive of the Leon Kingdom army and forcing an exchange rate that was several times higher.
Until now, he had not been able to figure out who the commander was because McMorin was wearing the same clothes as regular heavy infantrymen, but McMorin’s voice roaring as if the Master was a big deal made Count Gisco understand who the commander was.
“Is the Master a big deal? Haha, I guess I’ll have to make that guy realize the difference. Judging from the scale, it looks like a Thousand Seal… I’ll have to test the inaction of a Thousand Seal.”
Count Gisco, who was quietly muttering in his seat, pulled out his sword from its scabbard.
“Adjutant. I will tell that guy what a master is. Furthermore, I would like you to lead him for a while.”
“Yes? Ha, but… Soon…”
Count Gisco’s adjutant looked at him with bewildered eyes as the distance between the approaching enemy ships was short.
“Anyway, enemy reinforcements are no big deal. Anyway, if we just eliminate their central point, the enemy soldiers will soon collapse. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand!”
After handing over command to his adjutant, Count Gisco leaped forward and climbed onto the deck of the Hyperion.
“W-what?! Did you come because you wanted to die too?!”
A lieutenant general’s infantry jabbed a spear at Count Gisco, who had landed on the boat with extremely fast movements, but he easily dodged the spear and looked around him.
“Hwiyu~ That’s a huge exchange fee. For every one of you, ten of our soldiers would have died. And… I guess that’s because of you, right?”
Kaang!!
Count Gisco, who easily blocked the iron bars that suddenly came from his side, glared at the owner of the bars.
“Tch… Are you really the master? Tsuba…”
“I listened carefully to the speech earlier. The Master said it wasn’t that big of a deal… That you could survive with perseverance, right? Then I guess I’ll have to test to see if that’s true.”
Suddenly!
Count Gisco, who cut down the two heavy infantrymen blocking his path with a sword wearing a sword, quickly threw his sword at McMorin.
“Aaaaahhh!! Damn it!!”
Haha, he’s quick! But… Didn’t you say he can survive with his grit?”
McMorin barely managed to avoid Count Gisco’s sword by leaping with all his might, but the Count’s sword radiated a strange sword energy and was aimed at McMorin’s neck at a strange angle. McMorin used all his remaining strength to avoid the Count’s sword or barely managed to avoid it. I put it.
“Wow, that’s quite a feat. Even though I am several levels lower than the princess, even most mid-level knights could not dodge my sword like this. Are you a knight?”
“Heng… The knight is a piece of cake… You have no intention of becoming something noble like that?”
“Hmm… No matter how barely it is… If he was able to shed a sword surrounded by sword energy, he would have surpassed the skill of a senior knight… But he is a waste of talent. If you surrender to our Leon even now, your life will be at stake. How about honorably surrendering, as well as preserving the lives of all your subordinates?”
Count Gisco slowly approached McMorin, who escaped fatal wounds but was bleeding profusely from severe cuts here and there, and encouraged him to surrender.
Chuck!!
“What are you saying? I can still hold on with my guts! So, give it a try!! Huh?”
“Hmm… If that’s what you mean…”
Several heavy infantrymen under McMorin courageously stabbed Count Gisco in the back with their spears, but they were quickly cut down and fell to the ground.
Then, as he watched Count Gisco’s sword, full of black energy, fall from above, McMorin sensed that it was over and closed his eyes tightly.
‘Is this the fucking end… I said this out loud… I’m so embarrassed…’
But…
Cheaeng~!!
McMorin opened his eyes at the sound of a sword flying from somewhere and striking Count Gisco’s sword.
“Ha… Ha… Is McMorin okay?”
“Woe to you, Empress!!”
Surprised that it was Eli who saved her, McMorin quickly picked her up despite her serious injuries and helped her as she fell to the floor.
“What? Was it just a thousand seal that you tried to protect even when you were cut by my sword? I also…”
“He served in the army with my husband all the way from his hometown, and all the soldiers here are my comrades, but he’s just injured…”
At Fiona’s taunts coming from behind her, Eliza gritted her teeth and stood up.
“Wow, the Empress called us comrades in arms…”
“What the fuck are you doing!! Wake up!! You can’t die later than Empress Mama while being protected by her!!”
As Eliza raised her body, the soldiers, moved by her words, once again gained strength and gripped her spear and shield with all their might.
“… It’s a little annoying… But it wouldn’t be a bad idea to sort it all out here.”
“I should have done this a long time ago. If two masters attack at once, Eliza won’t be able to do anything.”
“Yes. Eliza’s skills were better than I expected, so things didn’t go as I expected. She was still captured, and if I forced a military treaty with Yang to give territory to the Balkan Empire…”
Fiona slowly approached to finish off Eliza and her McMorin, with the idea of normalizing her Leon by hitting her father with her Vulcan forces.
And that moment. A tremendous roar was heard from the back of Hyperion.
Wow!!
“W-what?!”
“What are you talking about? They say the Corvus drawbridge was lowered to bring in reinforcements!!”
The voice was Count Leverkin, who had been absent from the battle, and Eliza smiled brightly at the sound of his voice.
“Ah, the reinforcements that were said to be less than 100 strong? That has to come… Well, the situation is…”
“Heh… Wouldn’t those white soldiers be different depending on who is coming?”
“Hmm?”
Fiona tilted her head slightly as she looked at Eliza who suddenly regained her composure. And she had to hastily shift her sword into a defensive stance due to the enormous presence felt from behind her.
Kwaaaaang!!
“It’s okay now, because… I’m here!!”
