Chapter 125 – Result of the D-Day War
“All charge! Wipe out all the dogs of that empire that disobey Maurice!”
At the cry of Snow White wearing traditional Cruy armor, the Cruy cavalrymen drove towards the Imperial army.
Doo doo doo!
The cavalry’s charge hit the rear of the Imperial army, which was not prepared.
“Aww!”
“What, what?”
“Enemies! Enemy cavalry in the rear!”
“Everyone in formation!”
The commanders shouted to use evil, but that was all.
To have a battle line that has already been disorganized once.
“Kill! Kill them all!”
The speed at which the cavalry was approaching was too fast.
Kwakwawang!
Clash between Cruy cavalry and Imperial infantry.
No matter how many infantry there are.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Help me!”
The impact of the speeding horses was too strong for ordinary infantry to withstand.
The imperial army collided with the horse collapsed like a scarecrow.
“Kill all the full-blooded imperial dogs in the warm land!”
At the cry of Snow White, Cruy soldiers cheered and swung their swords.
Haha! You’re finally swinging your sword!”
“Kill them all!”
“It’s a feast. Party!”
No one in the imperial army.
Snow White’s army could not be stopped.
There were only 10,000 cavalrymen.
However, their presence changed the tide of battle.
“Damn it!”
Duke Solarion clenched his fist.
Although it was decided to retreat, it would be possible to overturn it again if the regular army of the west entered the war belatedly.
It was then.
Whoa!
The horn sounded again.
“What is it this time?”
Perhaps they are the ones who will save the desperate situation.
I looked away.
However, the flag was different.
Flag on top of gold.
Emily.
It was the mercenary group hired by Emily who had taken Cecilia.
Even the soldiers who followed were reinforcements for Maurice.
“Uh, how… Who are our reinforcements?”
“You should have prepared thoroughly.”
Should I have been thoroughly prepared?
Solarion looked at Maurice in front of him.
This advance was his best.
If Maurice had been given more time, he would have persuaded the aristocrats, and the hardened enemies would have gathered more troops than this.
Didn’t it actually work?
Collapse from within.
Just.
‘That Maurice was aware of Mangreb’s betrayal.’
Stupid!
I ruled out the assumption that the enemy would be aware of the situation that went smoothly.
“Duke, you were in too much of a hurry. They said they were too trapped in the goal of recapturing the capital.”
“Ouch…”
Solarion clenched his trembling fists.
Even if you lose a lot, if you survive, you have a chance to win.
But what if he is killed or captured?
Who will be able to save the emperors in the future?
“If the two Masters sacrifice themselves, the remaining soldiers will be able to retreat.”
“You are confident.”
Maurice said, extending his hand.
“I must have told you?”
Mana swirled in his hand.
It was an unfinished circle 9 mana.
“You won’t be able to escape without my permission.”
“Solarion will do whatever it wants.”
“That’s funny.”
Maurice fired fire magic.
“Duke! Avoid!”
The Masters blocked Maurice’s attack.
Quaang!
Once again there was an explosion caused by Mana Clash.
Explosions continued over and over again.
The ongoing battle between the Master and the Archmage.
And Solarion felt it.
The wizard of the distant realm.
The fact that even the Masters were able to overcome it easily.
Seria and Emir joined the battle.
Even Lilith and Sebastian, who had organized the imperial army that had rushed into the East Gate, joined the Masters on the battlefield.
Shortage of numbers.
Even though Musk fell incapacitated.
There are still many of Maurice’s strong players left.
‘I was careless.’
Solarion blamed her own inadequacies on her.
I fought without knowing the enemy’s strength properly, so how could I win?
“Is the empire this far?”
Sensing defeat, Duke Solarion closed his eyes.
“What do you do when you are alive?”
The duke tried to stab himself in the stomach with his drawn sword.
But why
‘Is my hand not moving?’
Foreboding, Duke Solarion looked ahead.
Maurice laughed and she stretched out her hand to him.
“Did you tell me? You won’t be able to escape.”
It looked like a demon.
***
After that, the battle flowed one-sidedly.
It was an army of 200,000 people.
It was impossible to lead a battle that once lost its momentum to victory.
Solarion, who should have been in command at the center of the battlefield, was captured by Maurice, and the guitar masters fought hard.
It was there.
The snow-white Cruy cavalry continued to harass the rear of the enemy, and the aristocratic forces holding out on the fortified walls were not easily penetrated by the imperial army.
A mercenary army at the top of the gold added to it.
With the mercenary king at the forefront, 15,000 foot soldiers broke through the tumultuous flank of the imperial army.
Of the 200,000 imperial troops, 20,000 were killed and over 100,000 soldiers were captured.
The remaining forces were picked up by the nobles of the imperial faction and retreated.
Anyway, without Solarion, it’s a ragtag mess.
The goal has been achieved.
‘It’s fortunate.’
It would have been a much more difficult fight if Solarion had taken command on the battlefield rather than appearing at the meeting.
How happy he was when he came to the meeting.
That alone was half of the plan successful.
“Move quickly!”
Imperial prisoners of war moved under the guidance of aristocratic soldiers.
No matter how many times I moved, I couldn’t see the end.
‘It ended well.’
A difficult battle was successfully completed.
I haven’t destroyed all the imperial forces yet, but the core Solarion and the emperor are in my hands.
That alone has already won more than half of the success.
“There are things to organize before appreciation.”
My gaze landed on Mangreb, who was on her knees tied to a rope.
“Betrayal… I trusted you, Marquis of Mangreb.”
“Come on, Minister.”
The Marquis of Mangreb’s voice trembled.
Do you regret betraying me now?
“I was sent to negotiate with the imperial faction, and that person betrayed me, so who should I trust?”
I squeezed the bridge of my nose and continued.
“It is really sad. Marquis of Mangreb.”
“Come on, Minister! Please save me just once! I will renew my body and become a limb by the Minister’s side. If you die, die! If you bark like a dog, I will bark. If you kill someone, I will kill you!”
“It is miserable. Mangreb. Were you such an insignificant man?”
“Minister.”
Mangreb’s eyes shook.
“If I save the traitor, my authority will fall.”
“Minister! Please!”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? If I die, I will die.”
“…”
Mangreb couldn’t answer.
“If you die and come back to life, then I will appoint you.”
“Minister Nieeeee!! Solarion, what do you say! Didn’t I become like this because of you! If only I hadn’t stupidly failed!”
Mangreb, who was being dragged by the knights, glared at Solarion, wriggling his body.
However, Solarion did not see him.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
I asked Solarion.
“What do you need to say to the leader? Kill.”
“You are unconcerned with death.”
“Is it good for you that I am alive? Think about it.”
“How can it be good not to have a duke?”
“What?”
I got up from my seat and approached Duke Solarion, who looked at me with a bewildered look.
“Aren’t you the one who almost became my family at one time?”
“…”
Solarion’s eyes widened.
“Are you threatening me with my daughter?”
Solarion’s face his, which had been maintaining a poker face until just now, was shattered.
What was on the face of Solarion, whose composition was broken.
Pure anger.
It was the anger of her father who cared for her daughter.
“What a sad sound.”
I shook my head.
“I made a promise to keep you alive. Don’t get me wrong.”
Duke Solarion grew.
I untied the strings on the Duke’s body.
“What are you doing?”
“He is a precious person. Serve it carefully.”
I said to the soldiers lined up behind me.
“Do you think I’ll end up under you like this!”
“You don’t have to come under me.”
“What?”
“Because I don’t expect Duke Solarion’s loyalty.”
Duke Solarion asked me as I returned to my seat after releasing the solarion.
“Where is your Majesty the Emperor!”
“Emperor?”
“Okay. I heard rumors that you are torturing His Majesty by imprisoning him in a dungeon.”
“Where did you hear the rumor?”
“Is this a rumor? There was a testimony of the mangreb you killed.”
“Are you naive enough to believe the words of a traitor?”
At my words, Duke Solarion fell silent.
“Your Majesty is staying in my mansion. Being in the imperial palace is a burden on your body.”
“Then I want to have an audience with His Majesty. If you care about me, I believe that you will grant me that request.”
I watched him for a while.
“Not yet.”
“What?”
“It’s mentally tough.”
I hit my head.
“So I need some time.”
“What is that… ?”
Duke Solarion blinked.
“So wait until you calm down.”
“Wait, Secretary Maurice! What do you mean? You are mentally tough! Why is that person?”
“My kindness ends here. Hey, what are the soldiers doing without attending the duke?”
Solarion is dragged away by soldiers.
It took a long time just to organize the prisoners.
“Is it almost done?”
I murmured as I watched the mountain of burning corpses outside the castle.
‘It’s a war to keep the peace.’
I don’t know if this is the right choice, but this was the only option left for me.
If you hadn’t done this
It must have been run off by the emperor.
“Morris.”
Snow White, who cleaned up the scene, approached.
“Oh, you have changed beyond recognition. Even the armor is serious.”
“Yes, it is a necessary outfit to be dignified as a tribal chief on the battlefield.”
She was wearing Northern armor.
The armor covered with fur and thick leather has been specially treated, so it can easily block small arrows.
Her image was different from when she was wearing an oriental dress like Yeong-ae.
“Now you have completely become the chief of the tribe.”
“A tribal chief. Maurice.”
Snow White took a step closer to me.
“Even if you wear this thick armor and carry a sharp sword. I am Maurice’s woman.”
Snow White took my hand.
“We came to the capital just as Maurice wanted. Now…”
She pulled my hand to her own chest her.
Throbbing.
Through her thick leather armor, she could feel the vibration of Snow White’s heart her.
“Please keep your promise. You have been patient too long.”
A blush appeared on the snow-white face of her.
