Chapter 210 – Chapter 19 – Civil War
As for the first attack, Lirio, who was holding the sword, fired first.
Klaus took advantage of the gap where the long spear was hanging down and tried to dig into it by bouncing the spear blade with his sword.
However, Klaus spread the distance as if he was not ready, and lightly shook the spear as if he was going to attack Lirio’s top with the spear’s head.
Correspondingly, Lirio also took an evasive action.
“… !”
As if aiming for a gap, the spear blade was quickly pulled back and aimed at the bottom, that is, the leg.
When two swords collided, the attack flew towards the bottom, which is not usually attacked, so Lirio had no choice but to hurriedly back away while showing a slight embarrassment.
When Lirio stepped back, Klaus did not act impatiently and bit the spear again.
In the street anyway, the window is overwhelmingly advantageous.
The sword could never enter at a distance, and at intervals, the spear could enter sufficiently.
Some say, no matter how good the distance is, that’s not all.
In the end, if the sword digs inside, isn’t it all about dying after struggling?
Klaus once believed that too, so he still often used his sword.
However, as he progressed through the episode, he seemed to be right about what he had heard somewhere.
The part where a spear is more advantageous than a sword if they have the same level of skill.
“Ha!”
Because of the lack of distance, stabbing attacks are rather poisonous.
So, Lirio launched an attack from the top where the spear was the hardest to defend.
After inducing defense with a slash that fell from above, he intended to take the spear or, at the very least, destroy his balance by dangling his sword.
But soon his attack was blocked without even starting.
He obviously thought he had enough distance to some extent.
Klaus made a light stabbing motion, and the spear blade flew right in front of him in an instant.
‘This!’
When Klaus was holding the spear, the entire length was visible, only the shape of the line was visible.
So I thought that if that long line came within a short interval, it would act as a disadvantage.
So, Lirio was sure that if he went inside, he would be able to catch a human using such a crude weapon in an instant.
Until that line, right in front of you, becomes a dot the size of a coin.
Whoops!-
The sound of spear blades flying through the wind could be heard.
Contrary to how Lirio managed to dodge the attack while gritting his teeth.
When Klaus couldn’t reach his attack, he immediately pulled back the spear and returned to its original state.
A gap that can never be shortened, a street fight that can never be won.
Lirio felt himself sinking little by little in the direction his opponent wanted.
‘Damn it.’
If you close the distance, the check attacks will continue to fly.
In particular, those attacks were aimed at the bottom, especially the legs, not the top, so Lirio couldn’t overlook a single attack.
You can’t hit, but the opponent looks at your movements for a while and then hits them.
It was also difficult to block the attack in reverse and to quickly pull out the spearhead if the distance was narrowed, or to wield the spearhead in reverse and try to subdue himself with stickmanship rather than spearmanship.
If you continue to appear on the surface like this, it will eventually flow in the direction Klaus wants.
The idea that he had to dig in somehow filled Lirio’s head.
So this time, I decided to speed up as much as possible and close the distance before the spear blade came in.
That’s right!!-
Like Aufen’s boastful strongman, Lirio flew right in front of Klaus at a speed enough to scare even the most talented.
And he swung his sword with the will to hit the attack, but he was already within the range of the blade, and it was more difficult than picking stars in the sky to avoid it and hit his attack.
Booung! Humming!-
Klaus did not simply rely on the head of the spear, but swung it around as if he were handling a stick, literally completely blocking Lirio’s attacks.
Even though the spearhead is made of wood, it was cut with one knife! It is absolutely not a rotten tree that is being cut down.
A spearhead boasting enough strength to shatter a skull cleanly when struck on the head.
With a weapon like that wielded, it was only natural that even Lirio couldn’t get any closer.
Rather, Klaus aimed for the gap where Lirio’s attack missed, and when Klaus swung the blade, the tip grazed Lirio’s cheek and splattered his blood.
“… Whoa.”
Lirio, who saw the red blood while stealing his cheek, calmed down.
I wondered why on earth that man had chosen a spear as a weapon in the fight against him, but now I could clearly see why.
A man who always fights a winnable fight and draws enemies in to create a situation like that.
That was the main specialty of a human named Klaus that Lirio knew.
‘I don’t see an answer. What is this like?’
I thought about what would happen if I pressed or closed the window.
The long length means that it is difficult to recover, so it was thought that if you use the gap well, you will have enough time to inflict a slight sword wound even if you don’t get a fatal blow.
As if he were mocking Lirio’s thoughts.
Klaus did not carelessly stretch out his spear unless it was time to attack.
Rather, at other times, the length of the spear was constantly shortened and lengthened, preventing Lirio from attacking or defending recklessly, and by repeating lifting and lowering, he made it impossible to know whether he would stab the spear upward or attack the leg.
… Shashak!!-
Lirio, who was looking for a gap, quickly launched a stabbing attack.
He could have been taken aback when he had been focusing on cutting attacks until now, but suddenly started stabbing.
Klaus didn’t panic at all and stepped back, just aiming the spear at the upper part of Lirio and lifting it.
That simple action was more annoying to Lirio than a huge shield or fence.
It was because this simple movement was much closer than his own thrust.
Ugh!-
The moment Lirio repelled the attack and stepped back, Klaus stabbed him.
Naturally expecting a counterattack, Lirio easily raised his sword and tried to parry the spear blade flying into his face.
But right after that, Lirio realized that he had been tricked by Klaus once again.
The attack, which seemed to miss through a very small gap, was actually an attack intentionally missed.
Otherwise, he couldn’t retrieve the spear so quickly and fly to the bottom.
Lirio was able to barely block the attack just before the spear tip touched his ankle.
‘… Damn this What the hell does this mean? Damn it!’
I can’t get closer, no matter how hard I try to close the distance, the spear edge has already entered the path, warning me that if I take a little more step, it will be pierced.
I thought I would be able to dig in, but I expected to be able to remove the spear enough and cut down the defenseless opponent, but it was not worth half a penny.
Booung!-
The distance is the distance and the distance is the distance, but that attack especially aimed at the legs.
Lirio was furious to the tip of his head at the bottom attack that he forgot.
It is not that there is no case of attacking the legs with a sword, but it is a method not to be avoided because the opponent’s attack may come in before that.
However, Klaus had been using that long spear to check the bridge so easily.
It was only at the level of roughly poking or striking, but if the attack succeeded and even injured his leg, it was clear that it would bring about the worst results.
Plus, Lirio’s problems didn’t end there.
Wow!!-
Hee hee!! Heying!!-
Courage! Udangtang!!-
A skirmish going on behind the scenes.
The battle between the anti-demon army and the demon lord army was gradually leaning towards the demon lord army.
Although most of the nobles with field command experience came over to Aufen.
There are still many ordinary demons in the East who think that Yulia is everything when it comes to king.
Because of this, the husbands, younger brothers, and sons of those demons still remained in the demon king’s army.
The intensity of training is comparable to that of Aupen, so the level of soldiers is almost the same.
It is Aufen who tried to seize the victory by overpowering it in numbers.
Even if the number of troops does not have an absolute effect on victory, it is a factor that cannot be ignored.
And, of course, there were more cavalry under Lirio than the left army under Klaus.
So, this fight was supposed to go in the favor of the allies…
‘Why, why are my allies being pushed back?’
Lirio, who was looking at the battlefield with a sidelong glance, doubted his own eyes.
Someone who should have launched an attack on Klaus’s left army from the mountains to the south.
I had just confirmed the scene where Ashley Palatinat, the head of Palatinat, was leading his cavalrymen to slaughter my cavalrymen.
“What?!”
“Where are you digging your eyes?”
The moment he heard Klaus’s voice, Lirio realized that he had temporarily put his mind somewhere else.
At the same time, as soon as he saw the spear flying towards the bottom, Lirio immediately lowered his sword and tried to block the spear aiming for his legs.
However, when he saw that Klaus’ spear blade had hit the ground out of nowhere rather than his leg, he could intuit that something was wrong.
An attacker who had no intention of attacking the bottom in the first place, and a defender who thought of unconditionally blocking the bottom.
In a situation like this, who can correct their stance faster and take the next attack?
I could say it was so obvious without even asking.
Shuuk!!- Blood Shoot!-
As soon as he confirmed that Lirio’s sword was pointing downward, Klaus stabbed it upwards.
Soon, blood splattered and a thin bloodline was drawn on Lirio’s neck.
If the wound had been a little deeper, it would have led to a fatal cut in the carotid artery.
“Ah. It was a bit shallow. I miss this.”
“Haha…”
Lirio, who was only confident when they first met, was shaken little by little.
It was just a weapon used by ordinary soldiers, and with that long range, it was possible to approach it and suppress it as much as possible, because the soldiers were also defeated in close-quarters combat like that.
Lirio thought that he would be able to do that too, and he believed that right up until the moment before.
However, when he personally experienced this ridiculous crossroads, he learned that his thoughts were wrong.
‘I can’t reach you. This, this really has no way.’
Even the opponent pushed himself like this with only one spear, without his specialty, combat magic.
If magic were included here, the game would have already been decided.
“Why don’t you use magic? We all know that your combat magic is excellent.”
“Because I don’t see any reason to use it for you. Aren’t you already enough?”
“…”
It was a remark that strongly scratched his ego, but he had nothing to say.
If so, I’ll make him use his magic himself.
Thinking so, Lirio stretched out his sword and secretly prepared his magic.
Originally, the magic for the attack or the moment Klaus’ spear flew in, he planned to bounce the spear blade with that magic and use the gap to attack.
‘If you drag on for more time, your allies will be annihilated. I don’t know why Ashley betrayed me… There are still more allies to the south. Palatinath couldn’t have deserted with a normal army. The fact that he immediately ran to the right is proof of that. There’s still time!’
I must defeat that devil, then I can turn the momentum at once.
While thinking so, Lirio began to accelerate her mana to the maximum.
