Chapter 209 – Chapter 19 – Civil War
Turning back time slightly, the moment Klaus orders a magic attack.
Ain and even Cecily were taken aback and panicked.
Let go of the enemies that keep bumping into you right in front of your eyes, and get some distance away.
Even flying magic at enemies who are still watching the war?
If the enemies from the south come down from the mountain and attack our flanks, the formation collapses.
Right now, the attack on the right is so intense that even Ain is impatient.
I couldn’t understand why he decided to cast magic near the enemy formations in the south.
Klaus turned around as if he had no interest in Ain’s curiosity.
“Ain.”
“Yes, Klaus.”
“I’ll tell you this once, so listen carefully. When the Palatinat joins and the various families turn around after him, immediately deploy a stretched reserve on the left side and encircle the enemies.”
“Yes? Klaus-sama, then where are you going…”
“Isn’t it natural? There’s a man over there, Aufen, that traitor trusts so much. I’m going.”
“Now, hold on! Hey, why are you leaving your seat like this!!”
“I never said I would give up command. I will command you on the spot, so just as I said, when the troops from the southern mountains come, turn around the reserve that was placed in advance to the left and build a siege.”
Immediately after that, Klaus jumped on the horse.
Ain tried to stop him once again, but he didn’t even give him a chance and ran away.
When the commander moves, all the guards guarding the area turn their heads and head towards the battlefield.
Everyone had absurd expressions when the commander suddenly rushed to the front lines.
Still, I couldn’t see the fear of the battlefield or the faces that were reluctant.
‘Actually, there is no such thing as command. I’m just rowing along with the flowing river.’
Others say he is a tactical and strategic genius, but in fact he knows the future more than that.
It also had a big effect on the fact that they were all lined up without making a single mistake.
You can know without seeing, and you already know everything without hearing.
The fact that I was able to operate the reserve immediately was possible because I knew everything from the beginning rather than predicting the enemy’s movements.
And at this point, the fact that Ashley was worried about the future of Palatinate was also one of the parts that everyone knew clearly.
Aufen tried to appease her in a different way than usual, poking her in the side.
Klaus just openly blew his magic once, and he definitely recognized it.
This is the best moment to raise your ransom.
If you keep hesitating and miss the time, then your value will be far away.
When he reached out his hand like this, he said, don’t worry and grab it quickly.
Doo doo doo!!-
After turning around the formation and making a big turn to the right, the cavalrymen who had been waiting there in advance began to speed up all at once following them.
If you attack the enemy like a wave like this, you will be able to cut off part of the formation in an instant.
It is said that a huge glacier does not melt easily, but just as a finely chopped block of ice melts quickly, it is certain that the soldiers will soon disappear under the pressure of their allies.
“Klaus! Look over there!”
Klaus looked ahead at the cry of the escort who was following him.
A group of cavalrymen from the enemy camp were also running out facing each other, probably noticing the change in the friendly camp, and probably noticing that the cavalrymen were finally moving.
And at their head, Klaus’s most awaited prey stood majestically, holding a gleaming sword.
Lirio Lettre, Aupen’s closest aide, has good military commanding skills, and is particularly good at fighting.
In other words, it is a demon tribe that can be said to be a strong leader representing the anti-demon army.
In the original flow, he was a demon who bothered Julia quite a bit, but he was a person who couldn’t be appeased like the others, so from Klaus’ point of view, he had to be killed all the more quickly.
“Everyone knows what to do. If you lose here, the next friendly formation will be a mess. It is your duty to tell His Majesty the Demon King the news of the traitors’ defeat. Do not fail.”
Contrary to his nickname of Southern Devil, his tone is calm and gentle.
Thanks to this, those who followed him thought that they had heard something wrong due to the noise of the battlefield.
During the Continental War, weren’t the demons enemies of Klaus?
He thought that no matter how much he returned to their king, there would still be a pile of lumps.
‘I can see what they’re thinking, guys.’
Until a few years ago, they were demons who could be called enemies, but not anymore.
Rather, these demonic soldiers became more affectionate than the same humans from a certain moment.
They still don’t know much about their true selves, but they know everything about themselves.
Feeling as if he had finally returned home, Klaus sped up.
At the same time, he began secretly accelerating the magic circuit so that no one could notice.
Doo doo doo doo!!-
As the ground shook, the cavalrymen on both sides finally came right in front.
It wasn’t until that moment that Lirio, who was standing in the lead, realized that it was not just a cavalry commander, but Klaus, who was said to encompass the entire army.
“Klaus!!”
In Lirio’s eyes, a light dotted with life flashed.
If you kill that man here, the enemy’s morale will drop immediately.
Originally, I thought I would lead from the rear, but I never thought I would come out like this.
Seeing this as a heaven-sent opportunity, Lirio spurred on even more.
Then, for a moment, he felt that Klaus’s hand was being swung wide.
At the moment when he thought he might have lost the reins, he soon realized that something tremendous was coming in front of him.
‘Magic!’
Come to think of it, I said that Klaus was not the type to simply conduct from behind.
When necessary, he went directly to the front and fought, but his skills were quite low.
In particular, he is said to be unrivaled in his combat magic, and for that reason, many demons evaluated him very positively even though he was an enemy.
Lirio hurriedly twisted his head to avoid the magic flying at him.
However, the speed was much faster than the original magic, and above all, it was too stealthy.
It was too late to find out, so he had no choice but to decide to cut the sword.
“Huh!”
The moment when he was about to swing his sword after turning his horse to match the timing of the magic.
Like a lie, the magic core disappeared like smoke right in front of me.
It is as if a falling shooting star was all burnt up by friction and turned to ashes.
‘What, what?’
Of course, Lirio’s sword cut through the air, and the magical energy core that had been flying several times more secretly than immediately after hit his torso.
Phuong!-
“Ah!”
“Lee, Lirio-sama!”
His bodyguards and cavalry called upon him anxiously, but he could not slow down.
In the end, all of them passed by Lirio, and only his horse, which had been rolling around, got up and ran away somewhere.
What happened really in an instant, the enemy cavalrymen who had lost their commander with their eyes open faced the cavalrymen of the Demon King’s Army who had approached right away while trying to hide their embarrassment.
And soon, a cavalry battle that took on a different aspect from the skirmish with the infantry took place.
Chew! Chop!-
Bang! Kwakkwang!!-
Riders flew from all sides and horses began to fall.
Blood splatters, parts of the body are dismembered, and screams and shouts echo.
In the meantime, Klaus slayed several cavalrymen and ran to where Lirio had fallen.
The moment he finally got close to it, Klaus jumped off his horse without hesitation.
You may suddenly wonder why after running well, but soon you know the reason.
At some point, Lirio’s sword flew fiercely over the horse Klaus was sitting on.
“Sheesh.”
Lirio, who roughly wiped off his blood, evidently felt sorry for him, perhaps because he was injured while falling off the horse.
It was an attack that I thought was a golden opportunity because I judged that Klaus was completely careless.
It was Klaus who had to avoid it by a narrow car.
Tarak!-
Landing lightly on the floor, Klaus glanced back.
The cavalry of the allies and the enemy now lost most of their charging power and speed, and they were fighting a melee in one place.
“Eventually, you will see it this way again. On the battlefield!”
“You talk really well when you run away.”
“At that time, it was a disaster for me. I’ll admit it, Klaus. But today will be different. I will definitely end you and drag the enemy of the continental war to my lord, my highness!”
“Are you calling someone who has never risen to the position of the demon king the demon king, and then calling such a guy your Majesty the demon king again? They play drums and janggu among themselves and do everything. Shame on you.”
Lirio’s face hardened coldly at Klaus’ sarcastic reply.
Still, he was treated as a hero of the Continental War, even though he was an enemy.
That man only sent primary criticism and sharp glances at himself.
He seemed to have decided that he had nothing more to say, and Lirio kept his sword.
Klaus, who confirmed that appearance, lightly swung the spear he was holding in his hand beforehand.
Originally, Klaus used all types of weapons.
But this time, he dared to choose and bring the spear, and the reason was very simple.
“It’s a window. There were often people who said that if you had a weapon like that, you could beat the sword.”
“…”
“But in the end, as I was dying, I realized. Of all weapons, the sword is the best. And my foolishness of trying to fill the gap with the superiority of the street!!”
Strangely, Lirio had a strong tendency to view the spear as a weapon in a negative light.
A weapon used by ordinary soldiers, a weapon that can be used without much training, which is why it is said to be even more base and insignificant except for stabbing.
That wouldn’t be completely wrong.
After all, a spear is a weapon whose main purpose is to ‘pierce’, so there is no escape from it.
In addition, it takes less rail to manufacture than a sword and is easy to repair.
Since mass production is possible, most soldiers are armed with this spear and fight against enemies.
Because of this, the perception that a spear is a weapon of low-level soldiers, a weapon of those who have no skills and no money has been strongly embedded.
And those who use swords may say that the spear is superior at a distance, but if it strikes inside, it will be fine if it is forced to close the distance.
I used to think that it would be okay if I cut out the stabbed window or press it with force and wind it up again.
In fact, there were cases of breaking through the square in that way, and there were certainly those who killed soldiers alone in that way.
But that’s a story that comes out when, in the end, you can’t stick with someone who handles the weapon professionally.
Even if it is not a spear for dustproofing, but a spear to simply slaughter the enemy in front of you.
We will find out soon whether a swordsman can say such a thing.
