Chapter 246 – Battle to Retake Zenon Plains [Battle of Enakan Plains (10)] *Yuria Illustration*
Battle to recapture the Zenon Plain 〈Battle of the Enakan Plain (10)〉
The Enakan Plain a little while ago, where a fierce duel between two books was taking place.
An amazing scene was unfolding where Liechtenauer, known as the strongest master on the continent, was kneeling in front of the Duke of Tiruen.
On Lichtenauer’s forearm, there was a trace of where the blade of the sword had grazed and a drop of blood had formed, and although no other injuries were visible, he was motionless and had an angry expression on his face.
“Damn it…! You… What on earth have you done to me!!”
“Well… It’s no big deal. There’s just a little bit of drug on the sword.”
Liechtenauer burst into anger at the sight of Thiruen looking at his own sword blade and smiling slightly.
“Such a coward!! Are you saying you’re a knight after all this? You’re using poison in a sacred duel between knights!!”
“Ah… What a sad thing to say… No matter what, no poison was used. It’s just a simple paralytic medicine.”
“What does it mean to say that paralytic medicine is not poison!!”
Thiruen smirked as he watched Liechtenauer bursting out in anger at him.
Haha!! This is just a paralyzing medicine for sick animals. Just… One drop is enough to make even a bull stop moving… I don’t know how nervous I was because the Lord didn’t show any response. Well, it doesn’t matter now that I’ve caught him. …”
Kwaaaaa!!
At that moment, after the clash between Yuno and Kayla created a dragon fist wind, the dust gradually settled, and even though the winner of the clash was revealed to be Yuno, Tiruen could not hide his deep smile.
“Well, it looks like that side is coming to an end… Let’s see… Oh!! Lord Liechtenauer, I think you can be happy… It’s a victory for His Majesty the Balkan Emperor!!”
“Inoom… Are you mocking me!!”
“A mockery? Haha, what kind of sad words… I’m telling you the current situation as it is.”
“If you are not mocking me, then why are you laughing at the defeat of the person who came to your side? Why does a person who is so famously the duke of a country not kill me even after resorting to such cowardly measures?”
Tiruen grinned at the sight of Liechtenauer continuing to roar and pointed the sword he was holding in the direction where Yuno was.
“At first, we tried to turn this war around by taking the Empress hostage and completely conquering the Zenon Plain as our territory, but now that the situation is like this, we will have to aim for something bigger.”
“What if it’s bigger…? No way?”
When Richtenauer opened his eyes wide as if he had guessed something, Tiruen nodded his head slightly.
“Yes. I will capture you and the emperor you serve here. And in exchange for you two, I intend to eat up the entire western Balkans.”
Looking at Thiruen’s burning eyes, Liechtenauer realized that he was sincere.
“Do you think that will work? To do that, you have to defeat His Majesty first, but how can you, who are exhausted from fighting with me, defeat His Majesty…”
“Is that really so? Of course, I am exhausted… But it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is also very tired…Tsk tsk”
When Liechtenauer took a closer look at Yuno after hearing Tiruen’s words, he could see Yuno’s arms shaking slightly as he captured the unconscious Kayla and handed her over to Yuria, who was being protected by the knights.
‘Junho clearly lost his strength after trying to push that woman down with force… But even that bastard Tiruen is never safe… If I know Junho’s skills, he has a chance of winning… Hmm? Um, is that?!’
Suddenly, the ring Tiruen wore began to sparkle and light began to fill his body, and Liechtenauer opened his eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Shameful… Ah! This is it. It’s another artifact given to me by His Majesty the King. Although this is also a national treasure, I was able to use it because His Majesty the King cares so much for me.”
“Really… Do you really have no awareness as a knight? It’s a poison recovery artifact!! You should be ashamed of yourself…!”
“Shame? It’s been a long time since I threw away my personal honor for the glory of the nation. I might be dealing with a monster like you, and I’m not even prepared for this… That’s an even bigger problem.”
Liechtenauer bit his lip at Thiruen’s so confident attitude.
‘If this happens, Junho’s chances of winning are almost zero… Damn it! That bastard wasn’t moving through space like he told me to!! If I hadn’t come, it wouldn’t have been this reckless…’
He wanted to commit suicide by biting his lip right away, but his mouth was gagged and Liechtenauer became a complete prisoner.
Meanwhile, Tiruen had a brief conversation with someone through the communication port and returned to him completely upset.
Haha!! Your reinforcements are tied up by our cavalry. Well… I can’t even imagine that the emperor is here, and I’d guess that the headquarters has already been trampled, so that would be a wise decision. Isn’t that a wise decision? Lord Liechtenauer?”
“Ugh!!”
“Oh my… I was gagged too quickly. I wanted to hear an answer… But whatever happened. I guess I’ll have to enjoy the looks on the two people’s faces after they captured the emperor as well. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk”
Thiruen, confident of victory as he felt his stamina fully restored, sneered and slowly approached Yuno.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. Did you like the gift I prepared for you? Hehe.”
“Well, it wasn’t bad. It was the first blood-curdling match in a long time. But you… Didn’t you say that you respect Lord Liechtenauer as a prosecutor? I guess they use paralyzing drugs on the object of their respect in Tesseito? Or is that a lie? It was “
Tiruen smiled brightly as he stared at Yuno, who was looking at him with disdain.
“First, it is true that I respect Lord Liechtenauer. But this is a matter for the country. I should not give priority to personal feelings. Should I choose any means and methods to deal with someone who is more expert than me?
“Huh… Well, I guess I don’t have anything to say either. By the way, you guys… Did you know that he would come here? What were you planning to do if he didn’t come here and swept away your main force?”
“Anyway, the author of Kayla was a card that could not be used by anyone other than His Majesty. It was a contract like that. He was taken with him as insurance in case of an emergency. And in fact, I never imagined that His Majesty would come here. My head is in front of the enemy’s blade. “I didn’t know you’d be stupid enough to include that.”
Cheaeng!!
Tiruen thrust her sword in front of Yuno’s eyes and poured a lot of her mana into it, creating her sword energy.
“Thanks to you, a foolish emperor, Balkan will fall today. And we, Tesseito, will regain the throne of the empire and recreate the glory of a hundred years ago!”
“Well… You’re free to think what you want, but I don’t think our Balkans will fall today?”
“Hmph! You’re so arrogant… The Emperor, the Commander of the Guards, and the Empress Dowager are taken prisoner, but will Balkan stay still? To save the lives of you three, Balkan will have to give up the entire western Adriatic!!”
Yuno chuckled as he saw Tiruen showing off his hostility with a firm tone, unlike his polite tone so far.
“Huh… Taking my luggage as a prisoner? And my mother too? How dare you… You don’t even know the subject. You really won’t be able to escape today like that day.”
Despite Yuno’s mana and her momentum, Tiruen’s face remained calm.
‘You’re showing off a lot despite your exhausted body. Well… All they can do now is brag like that and wait for reinforcements. But what would their faces be like if they found out that the reinforcements they were waiting for had stopped? Tsk tsk’
Haha, it’s nice to be confident, but being too confident can turn into arrogance! Today, I’ll teach you that!”
“Really? Then, where should I try to receive those teachings? Haaa!!”
Kaang!!
The duel between the two began as they rushed in at the same time, without any need to say who would attack first.
Quang! Kwaaaaang!! Cheaeng!
The fighting spirit and sword energy clashed, unleashing a fierce attack, and the two’s new forms disappeared and reappeared repeatedly, clearly showing the scene of a fierce duel.
However, not only was Yuno’s strength clearly weaker than when he was dealing with Kayla, but the power of the fist felt by the sword was also less than half of the power that had hit his abdomen at first, so Tiruen’s smile grew even brighter.
‘As expected… You’re as exhausted as I expected. Considering the destructive attack from earlier, it’s probably natural. I was surprised when I saw its power, but since I’m human, I can’t unleash such an attack… Then!’
Unlike when dealing with Lichtenauer, Tiruen secretly reached into her back pocket and grabbed the drug-coated dagger.
‘He will think that only my sword has been poisoned and will only focus on this area… So, if he strikes me with a dagger after inducing me once, he will definitely!’
Tiruen exposed a small gap, and Yuno attacked there as he planned.
And then!
“Take it! Emperor! This is the end of the Balkans!”
Sssss!
The dagger thrown from Tiruen’s hand flew towards Yuno like a ray of light.
When the dagger flew towards the completely exposed abdomen rather than the hands and arms piled up in the air, Tiruen clenched his fist, thinking that his plan had succeeded.
However, the sound he heard in his ears was not the sound of the blade sinking into flesh, but the sound of the blade bouncing off the rock.
Kaaaaang!!
“Woah… I’m surprised… What? You were just planning for a surprise attack like that? The duke of a country and the best knight is throwing away memorized words like a mere assassin… You know the level of the Tesseito Kingdom, haha. !!”
Yuno’s voice, full of ridicule, echoed throughout the battlefield.
The faces of the Tesseito knights who heard that turned red, but surprisingly, Tiruen’s expression was calm.
“Ugh… It’s a pity that this doesn’t work. No matter how much of an enemy country he is, he is in the position of emperor, so I wanted to end him with a light wound if possible, but… Now that things have turned out like this, I guess I’ll have no choice but to cut off one of his limbs and take him away. !!”
“If you can do it!!”
The duel resumed with Yuno’s words.
However, contrary to his confident words, the mana in Yuno’s body was gradually decreasing, and the energy in his fist was gradually fading, and Tiruen smiled and began to relax, thinking that he had won.
“Wooooo… That’s really amazing. I praise you for your efforts in training yourself so much despite having held the noble position of prince and currently sitting in the position of universal recognition as emperor.”
“Huuuuuc., You are taking your time like this… Do you think you have won now?”
“Isn’t that so? Look around, Emperor. Your Guard Knight Commander is our prisoner, and you are struggling with your stamina and mana completely depleted while fighting the Master I prepared. Moreover, our troops have completely destroyed this place. We’re surrounded. If we don’t take our time in this situation, when will we do anything?”
“Tsk tsk, but there’s one thing you don’t know…”
Tiruen tilted his head at Yuno’s words.
“If you’re talking nonsense, I’ll listen to it later. So, this is the end…”
“Recovery is not something that only you can do, right? Mother!!”
When Yuno called Yuria, warm energy burst out from Yuria’s body, who was protected by the Guard Knights from behind.
As her warm energy burst into the sky, brightening the night sky, everyone’s eyes turned to it.
“Yuno!! Cheer up!!”
Since Yuria had only focused on Yuno until now, as soon as Yuno called her, she stretched out her hand while calling her son’s name, and the warm light that was shooting toward the sky shot toward Yuno.
After a while, when Yuno’s body, which received the light sent by Yuria, began to emit a much larger energy than what was felt at the start of the battle, Tiruen was unable to hide her embarrassed face.
“This… What the hell?”
“Then… Shall we begin the second round now? Duke of Tiruen? We can finally have a fair fight. Hehe”
