Chapter 987 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (45)
In an unexpected place, it was a situation where a significant number of troops were lost, but seeing the emperor in front of them, they naturally imagined themselves in favor of them.
To end this war by killing the emperor.
The knight groaned.
“Kill the emperor!!!!!!!!!!!!”
You can’t miss the prey that walked right in front of your eyes.
It was then that the Paladins, who were finishing their assessment of the situation, stepped out.
They gladly blocked the knights in front of them with shields and helped them move towards the emperor.
As if the knights were prepared in advance, they began to slash the soldiers using the paladins who blocked the front.
Cheek Chuck-!
Thud!
“Aaaaa!!”
“Die!!! Aah! Save me.. Kkeok!”
It didn’t matter if the soldiers died.
Their goal is to kill the emperor.
For that purpose, they boldly sacrificed their soldiers to target the emperor.
“Die Emperor!!!”
“Protect Your Majesty!!!”
Of course, the other side did not leave the emperor unattended.
The knights came forward and received the pass of the paladins and knights.
Chand-Chang!
The sound of swords clashing with swords.
The sound of people dying.
Beatings sobbing in pain.
Cries begging for help.
All kinds of mixed sounds merged and resounded on the fierce battlefield.
The unexpected success of the Paladins and Knights was powerful.
While the paladins held out in front of them, the knights threatened them with sharp attacks, but the breath fit better than expected.
By the time the knights started to be pushed out in a cold sweat.
The emperor, who had been watching the situation quietly, began to move in earnest.
⁘ ⁘ ⁘
‘Certainly, paladins are not formidable.’
The skills of the new Paladins were quite good.
Add to that their monstrous resilience, and it makes sense why our knights are out of hand.
As time passed, the situation would favor the other side, and they could have missed them.
‘There’s nothing I can’t win, but if I miss the paladin, it’s a joke.’
Paladins and knights accounted for the largest portion of their power.
No matter how many soldiers are captured, it costs a lot of money to keep them as prisoners.
Paladins, knights, and priestesses are valuable as prisoners.
However, if left alone, they will easily break through our encirclement and escape.
There were a lot of people who fell off the cliff, but there were also a lot of soldiers who couldn’t cross because the road was cut off.
If you bring them back, they will recover again.
If he wanted this attack to be a fatal blow to Geos and the temple, he had to hold on to the paladins and knights, even if it was too much.
‘It’s more profitable to make them prisoners than to capture and kill them all…’
Paladins and Geos Knights joined forces, so it was much more threatening than I thought.
Thanks to that, I wasn’t sure if I could safely capture them alive.
If there is a big difference in skill, it’s okay because it’s a job that you can deal with by unleashing your strength, but if it’s halfway strong like that, it’s difficult from my point of view.
Chae Ae Ae!!!!!!!
Thud!
“Keep!!”
Was it too strong?
Although I had accumulated combat experience through this war, I still couldn’t be confident that I could fully handle my power.
It was clear that if he fought while using his original power to the fullest, the war would proceed too unilaterally.
That’s why I had to hide my strength in most of the fights, and because of that, it was difficult to practice using my strength fully.
‘How much power can that shield block?’
It was the solid shield of the Paladins.
No matter how much money he had, his armor was so hard that most weapons couldn’t pierce it.
Of course, the movement speed was very slow due to wearing the armor, but in the first place, they were not the ones who fought with agility as a weapon.
It is a style that blocks the opponent’s attack heavily with a shield and aims for a counterattack.
And I knew how to pierce the damn shield just by looking at me.
How to destroy the shield with force honestly.
However, it was not easy to accurately determine the strength of the power, how much to adjust the power to build a shield without taking their lives.
The problem was that each paladin had a different level of strength they could handle.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Keep! Aww! Evil!”
“Bur, hold on!!! Kill the Emperor!”
I had already prepared the perfect weapon to deal with these guys.
A pointed hammer studded with iron thorns slammed against the paladin’s shield.
At first, hit weakly, and if you endure it, give it a little more strength and bang! Hit
The second time, the paladin stumbled and lost his balance, and the formation collapsed as he collapsed.
The remaining paladins tried to hold on somehow, but it was not easy to maintain their formation because the paladins fell peek-pick after a single or double swing.
“Crazy bastard!!”
The paladins, who spat out harsh words, hesitantly stepped back.
“Hey, what strength!”
After defeating a few paladins like that, I was able to properly control my strength.
This is how I got the feeling that I wouldn’t die.
From then on, the battlefield became more rampant.
The Paladins I defeated rushed in like our knights were aiming for prey, and overpowered them.
Honestly, what’s the use of rebelling when the shield is so dented that you can’t use it anymore?
As the number of Paladins who were knocked down and suppressed increased, the other side seemed to be scared as well, and the urgency in their actions came out.
“Uh, how can you get this kind of power… Kuck!”
After defeating the paladin in a situation where there was no place to run back, the Geos Knights tried to kill me somehow.
However, none of the efforts were successful.
“Be careful.”
“Wow, thank you.”
“Be nice, Your Majesty!”
The knights shouted cheers as I showed my composure in saving even a knight who was almost in danger because the Paladins were not enough to defeat the foot that reached the weapon.
“Someone cheers on the battlefield! You bastards! Wake up and move!”
Of course, since they were being protected by the person they were supposed to protect, the knight commander’s thunderous shouts raised the spirits of the knights.
“It’s not like this has happened once or twice, but it’s amazing to see him hurt his pride like that every time.”
“Lung, Your Majesty…!”
“Everyone is doing a good job. Our goal is to capture all of them alive without missing a single one, so focus more on capturing them rather than protecting Jim. They won’t be able to inflict a single wound on Jim. Everyone understands?”
“Yes!!”
“Your Majesty, there is no need to defeat it, as long as that infernal shield disappears, we can take care of the rest.”
Still, the captain of the knights secretly gave me advice, perhaps admitting that the situation was unavoidable.
There is no problem if I play an active role, but I thought I should take care of the knights’ pride, so I replied that it would be better to do so.
Only then did the leader of the Knights expression relax, and from then on, he broke only the annoying shields of the Paladins and started passing them back.
Quaang!!! Quaang!!! Quaang!!!
“A monster, a monster…!”
I laughed at the words that a paladin spat out with sincerity.
“I heard that you use words to piss people off and get them excited. Are you sure you’re going to do that to Jim as well?”
“It’s not like that! Humans can’t do this! How can I explain it if I’m not a monster!”
“I don’t get excited about turning normal people into monsters. Learn to talk a little more and come back. Of course, if there’s a next time.”
Kwajik!
The shield of the paladin who called me a monster could not stand my strength and broke.
Grab the arm of the paladin who lost his shield and panic! And threw it back.
The armor was quite heavy, so the sound of it falling to the floor was quite heavy.
Cooong!
“Oh heck!”
Even if it’s just a simple throw like this, it’s a big help in suppressing it.
Because of the weight of the armor, once you fall, you can’t get up on your own.
“Me, how do I overcome that..?”
“You have to run away… Run away!!”
It seems that they also felt a sense of crisis in the gradually decreasing number of paladins.
The enemy soldiers were also struggling to break through the encirclement and escape rather than fight.
With the emperor in front of him, he lost his temper and ran, but he couldn’t look optimistically at the situation until the allied paladins were being suppressed one by one.
“Where are you going to run away?”
Until they defeat me, they will never run away.
“Be surrounded!!!!”
At my words, the knights who were restraining the paladins moved quickly.
Of course, it was only after he knocked out the enemy he was holding on to by striking the nape of his neck with bloody momentum.
They quickly prepared formations that they had practiced in advance, in case the Paladins scattered and tried to escape.
Behind the backs of the knights, the soldiers who appeared suddenly surrounded them in a layer to prepare for a surprise attack.
“I will say this for the first time and last time. If you do not want to die, throw away your arms, lay down on the ground, and put your hands behind his head. He will not take his life. But if he continues to resist, he will die here.”
Ugh-!
Paladins and Geos Knights gnashed their teeth.
The eyes that looked at the person to kill were poured on me, but rather, I accepted their killing with a smile and continued.
“I command you. Do not have mercy in the hands of those who resist.”
“”Yes!!!!””
The shield wasn’t the only one that could be used.
The knights raised their shields forward, and the knight behind them pressed the Geos knights and the paladins of the temple with long spears.
If they continue to rebel, their long spears will mercilessly dig into their flesh.
“Are you going to drink poisoned wine after all?”
“…”
Gulp-
However, the Paladins and Geos Knights did not willingly abandon their weapons.
Looking at each other, we couldn’t say anything and gasped for breath.
It was noticeable that the Geos Knights were having a hard time, and the situation was not so good even for the relatively normal Paladins.
‘It ended up like that after making a fuss to avoid the attack.’
The Paladins, who realized that they shouldn’t fight by blocking attacks as they normally do, made a fuss about trying to avoid it at all costs.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can dodge all of my attacks.
Aren’t they moving with heavy armor, shields and swords in the first place?
The armor and shield, crushed by my weapon in places, made it just right to express their appearance as tattered.
