Chapter 598 – The Emperor Strikes Back #4
“Execute battle deployment!”
“Practice!”
Ready to fight
The castle that stopped Tae Ra-hee’s princess army the other day. The castle will be our final line of defense.
I deployed my troops forward and drove them into the three castles in front of them. The conscripts who were conscripted this time are also put into actual combat. They will guard the castle or carry supplies.
“Is there a reason for the forward deployment? It would be efficient if we blocked it in that castle.”
Vera asked.
“That’s right, but. The enemies are a legion of magic that you don’t know how to move.”
I don’t know what that magic corps is maintained with. Perhaps, with special powers, they may be able to continue fighting without supplies. Continuing a long defense against those guys?
There are no advantages.
In this case, you must actively attack and crush the enemy. The castle that stopped the princess army. The terrain is good there, but it’s not good to eat enemies. Lamia could go up on a mountain march and strike, but in that case, it would be better to station the army in a wider area and encircle and annihilate the enemies at once.
“I’m planning to spread my troops in a place with a long front line and strike it down. If I procrastinate against those guys, I’ll be extremely disadvantaged.”
“As expected. The more you go, the more strategic your eyesight will be. It’s a little risky strategy, but it looks good. That’s fine.”
“Only my mother trusts me.”
Our human army and imperial conscripts who came here from the holy kingdom of Kuls. There, Geum Harin’s Yuseong-gun and troops.
Vera will lead them all.
“There’s a lot to do, but can’t we do it all?”
“Really… Haa. You say it too easily. But thanks to becoming a demon, my physical problems are gone. Besides, my brain turns faster and I can handle dark magic, so it’s very comfortable. Don’t worry. I’ll carry out all my missions.”
Vera will protect the castle, manage the supply unit, and at the same time, follow my orders to divert troops to flank the enemy terracotta army.
It’s a difficult job, but Vera is a general-level commander who has gone through all sorts of battles. He can do it all
“Then it will gradually split. I will settle down in a suitable place and hit the enemies.”
“Okay. Good luck.”
“Yes. Send out raids when signaled.”
Basically, when the imperial conscripts start to go on the offensive, I’ll see the gap and then my legion of monsters will sweep the enemy in earnest.
That’s how we confronted the terracotta army.
* *
ㅡ Jerking and bucking.
ㅡ Jerking and bucking.
ㅡ Jerking and bucking.
“Hoo.”
To be honest, it was spectacular.
An ancient earth-colored army advancing while raising dust. Without any delay, they were moving forward mechanically, holding their old weapons.
“But I can’t see it.”
The giant terracotta warriors Carti spoke of are invisible. Where are you in the back? Even scouts haven’t found it yet.
Anyway.
The Terracotta Army is approaching Dachanseong, our castle located in the center of the front line. Accordingly, a catapult is launched inside Dachanseong.
ㅡCoooung!
Falling rocks shatter part of the terracotta army. But there was nothing to disrupt the ranks.
They’re just heartless dirt soldiers.
No matter who dies right next to me. And again, it doesn’t care at all whether it dies or not, it just moves as ordered.
“It’s a really great army.”
Thrill.
Watching it made me shudder. Was the undead army that scary? An emotionless dirt soldier… The fighting power itself is not much different from that of a human soldier. No. It is true that it falls slightly due to the range of motion of the joints.
But that emotionless spirit is a peerless warrior, an invincible soldier. He’s a soldier who absolutely obeys orders and doesn’t care about death. It can be said that it is mental strength that far exceeds that of trained fanatics.
“I will definitely obtain that power.”
If you do well, you might be able to get your hands on the power of that terracotta army. What if I could handle that invincible army instead of being an emperor-like idiot? Even if an enemy attacks from the Demon Realm or the Heaven Realm, I am confident that I will destroy them all.
Like that.
ㅡWaaaaa!
ㅡQuaang!
The war has begun.
However.
“Annit?!”
An unbelievable thing happened!
Terracotta Warriors did not try to cross the wall using ladders or siege towers. Just the first one to touch the wall fell down while sticking to the wall, and the next one collapsed on top of it. And another guy fell down in front of him.
“Those bastards! They’re making their own stairs!”
“Keruk!”
Terracotta Warriors A strategy to become a stairway! It’s like building soil in front of a castle and attacking the castle wall!
Indeed!
It’s a dirt army, so that’s possible!
ㅡ Crisp!
The Terracotta Warriors had no feelings for themselves or their comrades being trampled. Just make the stairs and advance.
If this continues, the advantage of the wall disappears.
“It’s a bit early, but I need to send an assault force!”
We need to significantly reduce the number of terracotta warriors here!
I immediately ordered Vera to attack using the Contact Artifact. I don’t have much faith, but imperial conscripts will fight as ordered. Although there is a high probability of running away in the middle.
Of course, that was just a means to attract the attention of the terracotta warriors.
“From now on, we will carry out an all-out attack according to the strategy!”
ㅡKeruk!
The strongest forces of the Demon King Castle gathered behind me roared all at once. As they are composed of various races, the terracotta warriors will face various deaths.
“Hong Yeon-hwa!”
“Dirty clay dolls… They’re annoying, so I’ll break them.”
ㅡPay!
Hong Yeon-hwa flew up.
And.
ㅡRumble!
As they practiced, they summoned dark clouds and made them pour down.
ㅡShoot aaaaa!
As it is.
“Serineu! Tell Rumika to bust the bank!”
“Huh!”
He ordered Rumica, who had been waiting elsewhere, to burst the dam. The enemy’s advance path has been read. It’s a pre-made embankment.
How long has it been like that
ㅡTuquakaka!
The dam breaks and the water begins to rush in. It’s fine on this side because it’s on high ground, but the terracotta warriors down there.
ㅡOoh!
It gets swept away by the water and starts to rattle.
“Good!”
Situation in which it is raining. The battlefield turned into mud in an instant. Then Rumica, who succeeded in her mission, returned.
“Did I do well?”
“Very well done! Spray as it is! Draw out the water! Weaken the enemies with hand attacks!”
“Huh.”
ㅡShoot!
Overwhelming natural phenomenon.
It’s strong, but you can’t use it much. There aren’t many places to build a dam. However, this method can greatly reduce the number of enemies in a short period of time.
ㅡKoo-gugu!
The terracotta warriors who were swept away by the water collapsed like that. Terracotta Warriors in the rear could not advance due to the changed terrain.
Those babies are our prey.
“Sharan-ah! Light up some plants and redeem those who fell into the mud!”
“Char!”
ㅡGooh!
The moment when the green aura rushed.
ㅡ woo woo woo!
In the mud where the terracotta warriors struggle, vines bloom. Those guys aren’t dead yet. Because you don’t drown by falling into the water. However, if vines grow while drowning in mud, they cannot move.
Actually death.
After tying up the enemy’s troops, I moved my troops along the path I had seen in advance.
“Attack the enemy’s rear!”
Gave the order to attack.
“Keryaaaaagh!”
“Kiyaaaaagh!”
“Kurrrr!”
The most advanced is the monster army. The moment when the raid made up of Deathfind and Gorgon Knights were locked in by the Terracotta Warriors like battering rams.
ㅡQuaaaaang!
The pile of dirt explodes with a roar.
“Go, go, go!”
Then, the lamias assist in the charge, and the goblin infantry advances solidly behind them.
Then the imp. And kobolds. Fallen angels and pixies fly in the sky, being wary of their surroundings, and quickly going to support where the Dark Elves are lacking.
Besides, the Minotaur is also sortie after a long time.
“Kooooo!”
He’s been playing around because he hasn’t had anything to do. The Minotaurs smashed the terracotta warriors by swinging their clubs like fish in water.
ㅡPerseok!
ㅡpain!
I looked up at it from the sky.
“Kiyaaaaagh!”
The gigantic Lamia Churel, who was sent to the front after a long time, is also swinging a long sword excitedly.
The terracotta warriors mechanically advanced towards our troops, but as soon as they arrived, they were simply ground in a blender.
ㅡRemember!
ㅡRemember!
The terracotta warriors approaching to be destroyed in an orderly manner. Even if you point an ancient weapon with a hard clay face, you can’t harm my soldiers.
Still, the number is staggering.
That’s the most threatening fact.
But.
“Don’t underestimate my troops!”
Each and every one of my elite troops is a hundred!
You can break any clay doll like that!
ㅡHurt!
Just then, a black sun rose in the far sky.
Haha!”
That is the great magic of the fallen angels. A destructive great magic that gathers many people to complete one black magic and drops it to the ground. It’s an offensive magic with a very wide range.
It has a short range and is vulnerable to long-range attacks, so it cannot be used in general battlefields, but it can be used against Terracotta Warriors.
ㅡWheek!
The black sun fell over the heads of the Terracotta Army.
And.
ㅡQuaaaaang!
The terracotta warriors were destroyed by a huge explosion.
“It’s truly a great majesty!”
If the enemy uses a huge, slow monster, this black sun will be very real.
“Advance! March! Wipe out all enemies!”
We need to destroy all the enemy units here. If we don’t do that at the right time, we might be pushed back.
Even if we win here, other places will break through.
We need to clear this place quickly and destroy the terracotta warriors elsewhere.
ㅡCoooung!
ㅡQuaang!
My men roar and destroy the terracotta warriors. Broken and smashed, flying fragments.
It was a bland battle because there was no blood and screams, but it still had a cool taste because there were so many enemies.
“Destroy everything like this!”
That’s how my army completely replaced the terracotta army that had been attacking Dachanseong.
