Chapter 247 – Battle to Retake Zenon Plains [Battle of Enakan Plains (11)] *Tiruen Illustration*
Battle to recapture the Zenon Plain 〈Battle of the Enakan Plain (11)〉
When Yuno appeared to have fully recovered his strength, Tiruen could not help but be troubled.
‘Damn it… I never imagined that the Empress of Balkan would have that kind of power… What is it? Artifact? Or… No, now is not the time to think about such things. It doesn’t change the fact that we have an advantage anyway! So for now…’
After gathering his thoughts, Tiruen shook his head to shake off his thoughts.
“Good! It’s already come to this… I guess we should compete one-on-one! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to decide the final winner while both sides are still intact.”
“You’ve done all kinds of cowardly things up until now, but now you can’t pretend to be confident… Well, I guess I’ll think about it with the mindset that I’m going to face my duel with confidence from now on!”
As Tiruen lightly held her sword and made a pose, Yuno also clenched her fists and relaxed.
“This time, I will really take one of your arms with this sword!! Haaaaa!!”
“If only I could do it!! Hyaaaaap!!”
This time, with Tiruen attacking first, the two began exchanging swords and fists once again.
However, the duel structure between the two was quite different from before.
Unlike usual, Yuno began to block Tiruen’s movements step by step with a check-oriented attack.
Haha, what are you doing? Duke Tiruen! You can’t catch me with that kind of movement! Move a little more boldly!”
“Holy shit… This damn emperor…!!”
The sharp movements aimed at each other’s vital points with their fierce speed and destructive use of mana looked similar, but Tiruen’s movements were becoming more and more distorted by Yuno’s powerful attacks, so there was tension in the eyes of the Tesseito knights watching the duel. Hope began to appear in the eyes of the Balkan Guard Knights.
And that fact was felt more keenly by Tiruen than anyone else here.
Pow! Boom!!
Yuno’s attacks became sharper and sharper as time passed, and their power also became stronger, so even though Yuno’s fist was lightly grazing the air as a check, Tiruen could not ignore it.
The explosive force created by Yuno’s fist was spewing out with the force of tearing the air, which meant that if he was hit even once, it was certain that one place would be damaged.
‘Damn it… This is truly ignorant power. What kind of human fist can produce this much power?’
Moreover, while Yuno was willing to take his life without hesitation, the fact that he had a penalty of not being able to kill his opponent carelessly made Tiruen’s sword even duller.
Kaang!!
Although he barely managed to block it this time, he gritted his teeth as he felt his movements being forcibly broken again.
‘Not good. That cunning emperor is shaping my movements the way he wants… If we continue like this, we will truly be defeated…’
Ti Luen felt that she had to do something to change the course of the duel and quickly began to think about it.
But his thoughts soon stopped. It was because of the voice of Yuno, who was talking to him while swinging his fist in front of him.
“Why are you worrying so much? At times like this, you have to move your body without thinking. A guy who doesn’t think about using his strength and just calculates profits and losses, so his wife gets offended. Isn’t that right? Tsk tsk.”
“This guy… Took my wife…”
Since Tiruen couldn’t remember the last time he slept with his wife, Yuno’s provocation had a decisive effect on him.
Kaang!!
When Tiruen fell for the provocation and threw a powerful sword strike, Yuno also countered him with a fist strike. Due to the powerful attacks they threw at each other, their bodies flew in opposite directions.
“Yes! This is it! This is it!! With an attack of this magnitude, it can even stop my movement! Look at this! He was a guy who could do it if he wanted to! Unlike the little pepper that doesn’t satisfy even one wife, he still has quite a bit of power haha! !”
“I will kill you!!”
Yuno smiled bitterly as he saw Tiruen running towards him with his eyes turned upside down.
Squeak!!
Tiruen flew into the air and spewed out sword energy towards Euro.
As if all the mana in his body had been absorbed, Tiruen’s sword energy became huge and destructive, but the attack was not sharp at all due to excitement, so Yuno leisurely avoided Tiruen’s sword energy and used his fist between the gaps.
Haha, the continuous sword technique was quite good, but it wasn’t sharp enough. If it had been a little sharper, it could have hurt me, but it was a bit of a waste. So, is it my turn now? Ha!”
Whoa!!
Yuno’s punch passed through Tiruen’s sword strike and exploded into his lower abdomen.
Moreover, the mana contained in his fists caused shock waves to affect his entire body, and his testicles were no exception.
Ujijijik!
“Kaaaaa!!”
Tiruen, who flew backwards with the sensation of something being crushed in his lower body, let out a loud scream.
“Huh…? Huh? Lord Tiruen? I’m sorry… That was definitely not intentional…”
The feeling that the other person’s precious thing was destroyed by his attack was conveyed to Yuno’s fist, so Yuno looked at Tiruen with a truly sorry expression and apologized for this moment.
“Keuuuuu Att im
The image of Yuno seen in Tiruen’s eyes was that of an evil demon itself, and in the extreme pain coursing through his body, he gritted his teeth and activated the artifact that had healed him once again.
“Healing… Healing!!”
But… The ring on his finger did not shine.
“Why. Why can’t it work? Why?”
Seeing his pitiful appearance, all the men on the battlefield looked at him in unison with an expression of pity.
“T-T, Lord Tiruen… Blood, blood… If the healing magic doesn’t work, it’s best to stop the bleeding first…”
The duel was stopped due to Tiruen’s injury.
If Yuno had jumped in right away, he could have caused a lot of damage to Tesseito’s army or completely finished off Tiruen, but he felt guilty because many knights were risking their lives to protect him and Yuno himself was injured in that part. He decided to use this as a time to reorganize his troops, and the intense battlefield fell into a lull for a while.
“Uh, what happened? Are my injuries… Serious?”
Tiruen, who was taking off his pants and exposing his lower body, gritted his teeth despite being in extreme pain and asked the soldier who was healing him about his condition.
“Uh… Your Excellency… You can’t have children anymore… In other words… Wow!!”
“What did you say? What is my condition? Say it right!!”
When Tiruen burst out in anger as if he was going to grab the neck of the soldier who was healing him and twist it at any moment, the knights guarding him rushed in to stop him.
“Calm down!! Your Excellency! You need to heal first!”
“That’s right! Your Excellency! The Duke’s safety comes before anything else! So… It would be better to slowly retreat from the battlefield and collect yourself…”
Despite the voices of the knights and advisors advising him, Ti Ruen just turned his mana to look inside his body, and as time went by, his head fell lower and lower.
And after a while, Ti Luen, who was staring blankly at his lower body with his head down, opened his mouth.
Then, of course, the eyes of all staff and commanders were focused on his mouth, and they could not believe their ears at the nonsensical command that came out of his mouth.
“All Teseito forces charge towards the enemy…”
“Yes? Charge? But… In the current situation”
At the voice of his staff questioning his words, Tiruen opened his eyes wide and spoke in a voice full of anger.
“Charge all the troops that can move!! It doesn’t matter whether it’s cavalry or infantry!! Kill all those damn Vulcans!! Kill them all, regardless of whether they are the emperor or the empress!!”
“B-but…”
“And the same goes for the Liechtenauer!! Kill them all!! Kill all the Vulkans!!”
Tiruen’s voice was full of resentment, and his knights and staff swallowed their saliva.
‘No, that’s reckless… The Master and the Guard Knights are alive and well over there… Even if we take out all of them, we’ll have no cards to negotiate with the upcoming reinforcements…’
‘But… I can’t refuse His Excellency’s orders…’
Tiruen scolded the staff once again for their hesitation.
“What are you doing!! Kill them all!! Cover this plain with the blood of the Vulcans!! Engrave deep in their bones how deep this Tiruen’s grudge is!!”
“Yes, I understand!!”
With Tiruen’s actions, the staff and knights ran out, the troops began to gather, and tension began to rise on the battlefield once again.
