Chapter 436 – 124. End of Battle (5)
Battle of Harsen.
The end of that fierce battle was in sight. The Bayrea army launched an all-out offensive toward Harsen Castle, which had not been captured by any means.
Kyaaaaa
The Witchbeasts rushed to the wall all at once.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-
And the wizards of Byrea. The magic beasts with the means of long-distance bombardment focused their firepower at once on the eastern wall.
“Harsen Castle will definitely fall today!”
“His mighty will be with us!”
The eastern wall, the core of Harsen Castle Mercury. There, a fierce battle continued for nearly three hours.
“It looks like those Byrea guys are definitely thinking of ending the battle today.”
The adjutant who was aiding General Whitner spoke urgently.
Like he said The momentum of the Byrea army attacking the eastern wall was very fierce. The soldiers of the eastern wall are blocking the siege through their experience.
It was breathtaking to see that the enemy was enduring it as it was an attack with all their strength.
“Dangerous! General!”
And that moment. The Minotaur jumped over the wall and aimed at Whitner with a huge ax blade.
“Where do you dare!”
Sussuk-
But Whitner drew his sword and decapitated the Minotaur.
A type 2 witch. It’s a high-ranking monster that’s never easy to deal with. General Wittner was not a man who had obtained his position in vain.
“Fight everyone! The odds are still with us! The Bayrea army cannot capture Harsen Castle!”
“Kill them all! Cut it all down! The enemies are monsters, not even humans!”
“Show the pride of Essenmund!”
When Wittner shouted his words, the commanders shouted together and encouraged his soldiers.
The soldiers’ momentum temporarily rose. At the same time, they shouted Reinhardt’s name.
“Reinhardt! Reinhardt! The protection of the great lord will protect us!”
“You must not hand over the land of the lord to those demons!”
“Glory to the lion’s name!”
And Count Harsen, Julian von Reinhardt, whose name has already risen to the point where there is no one to compare with among the territories.
Calling out the name of the young lord, his soldiers rallied.
But it was just that moment.
It is as if we have reached the foot of a high mountain where oxygen is rare. I started to feel like I was going to suffocate.
Harsen Castle is not a castle located on such a hill.
The unmistakable curse of magical power began to spread. Whitner hurriedly exclaimed.
“He is coming again! Priests, Holy Shield! And shout out the name of the lord! The magic power of that filthy thing can’t harm us carelessly!”
Then, a fatal sword attack flew towards Whitner.
Kaka Kaka Kakang-
Whitner managed to block the sword, no, the claw.
“How come a small pike like you can block my attacks?”
It was a woman’s voice that sent chills down her spine.
Even Whitner, who had fought against high-ranking witches on numerous battlefields, was breathless, and the demonic power contained in his voice was so thick.
‘That magic power. When I first felt the pressure, I had a gut feeling that I would never be able to deal with it.’
Her lower body has already changed to look like a snake, making her an enemy closer to a monster than a human. Lamiar shouted in a tearing voice.
“How dare you… Not that Julian von Reinhardt… I asked how an insignificant guy like you could block my attack!”
Chijii Iik-
Again, those claws tore through the air. An onslaught comparable to a knight’s aura sword with transcendent skills.
Wittner saw death in front of his eyes at that moment.
***
Chae Chae Chae Chae-
However, the Knights of the Midnight Sun stood in front of General Wittner. Whitner barely caught his breath.
Instead, while maintaining his composure in front of his men. He raised his momentum and shouted at Lamiar.
“Dirty demons can’t destroy us with Reinhardt! As long as we believe in the lord! The will of Him and His Messenger will be with Harsen Castle!”
“Are you okay? General Wittner?”
They were ten knights, including Sir Lot. Together, they stopped the Mahonein, Lamiar.
“You pitiful worms! Dare to know who I am!! Kyaaaaagh! Not you guys, that guy!! I mean, bring Julian von Reinhardt quickly!”
Along with that roar, the magic spirit power around them rose rapidly. It was so strong that it would not be able to withstand unless it was General Wittner or his knights.
No, even General Wittner and his party, who had so much experience on the battlefield, did not feel this level of magical power.
“Guys like dogs. How are you little puppets blocking my demon power… That dominance!”
However, Wittner and his knights did not succumb to Lamiar’s demon power.
‘Really, as the lord said, it’s dangerous, but we can withstand that magic power.’
This confrontation is not the first time.
Marhon Lamia. As the head of the Byrea Army, she directly climbed the wall and fought the Harsen Army as she does now.
Her enemy, she came up to directly cut the throat of Harsen’s chief, Julian.
There have already been five standoffs. However, Lamia has never met Yulian yet.
As she is now, whenever she attacks, her witner and her knights of the midnight sun all stop her.
And the territorial forces of the eastern wall. Hundreds of elite soldiers attacked her all at once.
‘Actually, with that level of magic power, normal soldiers can’t even get close to Lamia…’
Count Julian said to himself.
‘There is nothing to be afraid of. That demon will eventually defeat me. As long as I, a Reinhardt’s person, am with you, the demon’s demonic power will not erode you.’
The message was delivered to all of the Harsen Territory forces. His request as well.
‘So you just have to trust and follow me, Julian von Reinhardt. I will repay your trust with victory!’
And an amazing thing happened.
Yeongji-kun’s trust in Yulian was already absolute. And Julian’s encouragement produced a miracle.
– Julian! Julian von Reinhardt! The Lord is with us!
Youngjigun started shouting his name.
Then, even the magical power of a very powerful demon like Lamia. The Harsen Territory forces began to hold out.
‘Great. As long as it is not affected by magic power. I can bring out the strength of the knights and soldiers to the maximum.’
The absolute difference between a beast and a monster is demon power. And the one who used that cursed power to a different level was that Lamiar.
The range of that magic power extends beyond Harsen Castle.
However, the territories believed in their lord.
‘Even citizens who are not soldiers!’
Instead of succumbing to that magical power. Up to this point, their lord’s performance and his words were believed.
– As long as Reinhardt is with you. Don’t give in to such a filthy Marionette!
It is a belief that has been handed down to Essenmund since the days of Atlin, the swordsman.
Especially since elite troops from northern Essenmund joined them. Absolute trust in Reinhardt. The soldiers were more united.
“Cowardly child! Julian!! Julian von Reinhardt!! Don’t hide behind his men like this… Let’s fight fair and square! Do you think I can’t find you because you’re hiding? I will definitely find you in the castle, cut off your limbs, and rape you!”
This is the voice of the person who turned the Harsen estate into such a gruesome scene of slaughter. All the knights and soldiers snorted.
“Go away! Dirty bitch! Do not use the noble name of the lord in your mouth!”
No matter how much that demon possesses power beyond that of the Master.
With her knights and hundreds of her troops all at once blocking her, Ramiar couldn’t use her power.
‘Everything… Is going as the lord said.’
Above all, it was surprising that the magic spirit power did not affect the territories.
Compared to our allies, it means that the holy priest cannot use holy power. Even that fearsome Lamiar was now being dealt with by the land forces.
‘Of course, all we can do… Is to barely block it even if several hundred stick to it.’
In the meantime, more than 200 elite soldiers were killed by Lamia.
As expected, the only person who could face that Lamiar directly was Yulian. However, Yulian was not at the eastern wall right now.
‘I’ve been doing well so far. It would be impossible to stop Ma Hon-in once more.’
The promised time has run out. I’ve been through 3 hours already. If that Lamiar runs out of control once more, there will be a huge loss of life.
“Yes… Throwing his men as shields like this and avoiding battle with me! Then… I will cut the heads of all of Yulian’s subordinates and display them on this wall!”
To the point of being so blunt.
Witch Beasts and Lamiar began to overwhelm the territories on the eastern wall.
‘If the author attacks one more time. Even the Master, Lord Lot, couldn’t block that attack. This is our limit…’
Against that Demon Married Man who surpassed the Type 1 Witchbeast, he endured for 3 hours.
It was now the limit.
‘Younglord. This is our best. Next for you…’
It was an immediate situation.
“Even the knights… Won’t be able to stand it any longer. Heck…”
Rot barely managed to block the sword pressure created by the strong spirit of magic power.
Whitner also raised his sword again and encouraged his soldiers. However, Lamiar’s eyes glowed red and a storm of magical spirits blew over the fortress wall.
Woo woo woo woo-
Swept away by the magic power, the soldiers turned into corpse pieces. The knights risked their lives and prepared to charge at that Lamiar.
“Even at the expense of us…”
Wittner and Lott also silently agreed with that sentiment.
But it was just then. Just before despair rises.
Finally, the work that Whitner and his party had been waiting for began.
“Lamiar! Big, big deal! A large-scale surprise attack from the left wing of the Byrea Army!”
The one who seemed to be Lamiar’s lieutenant shouted. And when he heard the messenger’s words, he shouted with a very surprised expression.
“Julian von Reinhardt! The detached unit led by him has ambushed the base of our Byrea Army!”
At those words, Lamiar’s body froze.
“That person… Wasn’t hiding in Harsen Castle?”
And the adjutant shouted again.
“A message from Commander Keisler! That Julian is too strong! Only the people of the base camp can’t stop him! Return! A return request!”
“What? Yes, I know first!”
Lamiar glared at Whitner.
“You were lucky. But anyway, my prey is that young lord. No need to waste time.”
Then Lamiar turned her around and leaped off the wall.
At that moment, Whitner was relieved.
‘Sah… Did he survive?’
But at the same time, he was very worried about his lord, Yulian.
‘To him. It is time for him to carry out the next strategy instructed by him. Now is the time!’
And Whitner delivered it all at once to the commanders of the Yeongji Army.
“It is the name of the lord! The Yeongji Army, open the gates and attack the Byrea Army!”
The promised 4,000 troops rushed out all at once toward the Byrea army.
**
The headquarters of the Bayrea Army. There, a young man’s sword was shining with an aura.
“Sah, save me! That… Yes… If you save me like this, the attack on Harsen Castle will stop! That… And if you want, I’ll pass that marriage to you!”
Keisler, the commander of the Bayrea Army. He was kneeling in front of me.
‘I heard that he is close to the master.’
But the battle with him was insignificant. All of his sword blades and brother were visible. I subdued him with just three sword strikes.
‘I guess I’ve grown too much in the meantime.’
I had nothing more to say to this person. Rather, it was for the revenge of the Yeongji soldiers who had sacrificed so far. He had no intention of leaving Iza alive at all.
“Uh?”
Those were Keisler’s last words. So he cut his throat without speaking to him further.
Then I held his severed head and cried out.
“The enemy general has been decapitated! The victory of the Harsen Territory Army!”
Of course, the main force of Lamia and the demons still remained. Still, Commander Keisler is dead.
Clearly, this current had to be brought to Harsen.
“The lord has cut the head of the enemy general! Reinhardt! He has brought victory!”
“Harsen’s victory! Glory to the name of the great Reinhardt!”
In response to my cry, the knights of the detached squad shouted together.
As a result, great chaos began to occur in the headquarters of Byrea.
“Hey, the Harsen army is charging ahead!”
Then, as promised, the castle gate was opened, and the Yeongji Army led by General Wittner launched a counterattack.
The Byrea Army, which lost its command system in an instant, quickly became a rogue.
“A worm-like guy!!”
Lamiar, who belatedly figured out the situation, returned to the headquarters. Her eyes met mine and she rushed at a speed faster than her flash.
Kakakang-
However, I turned Siertia and blocked the attack that swung the snake’s tail.
“Is that just about it?”
When I said that dismissively, Lamiar lost her sanity.
“Yes… You guys… This, human… Are you ignoring the great Apostle of Knoia!”
Seeing him say the name of Knoia, which should not be said carelessly. The anger seemed to have crossed the limit.
‘Everything went as planned.’
Even so, the magic spirit power she radiated did not have any influence on me.
Her dominance. It must have already been slowly being eroded by the huge control power I created over Harsen Castle.
I looked at her and smiled at her.
“It’s time to end this boring war.”
A polar night aura began to bloom in Siertia.
And after a while Without even wielding a 10-point sword. I succeeded in defeating Lamiar.
