Chapter 472
The eastern front of Itthel was facing the same morning for years.
It can be said that those who entered the ranks of superhumans on a specific front run amok, respond to it, and otherwise, the devastated days leading to sluggish wars of attrition have made the greatest contribution to eating away at people’s minds.
Nevertheless, the biggest reason why the soldiers on both sides were able to hold on to their spirit and endure was because they believed that this war was a great war in which the fate of the races was staked in the form of humans and demons, demons and warriors.
Even if I want to collapse from exhaustion, I can’t. It is close to impossible to deal with the Demon King’s army spreading in all directions in one’s territory in a situation where you have to pour all your strength just by maintaining a limited frontline.
So we have to stop here. It was easier said than done to maintain a long war with just that will, but no one is taking issue with it.
Because many people proved it with their actions and actually maintained it.
And that hasn’t changed since the brave Siegfried first appeared on the battlefield. Soldiers who have been trained for a long time on the battlefield thought that even legendary warriors could not bring dramatic changes to the battlefield, and thanks to the
way they adapt to the battlefield and become stronger day by day, the morale of a warrior is said to be a warrior. If the supermen who are making their name on the front line appear right away, the warrior will still fall back and someone else will have to step in.
However, no one is disappointed to see it. This is because the hero knows that he is only an adversary to deal with the demon king, and not a demigod who can save the world alone.
The soldiers on the battlefield took up arms to fight today, considering it their task to support the warriors until the day of the decisive battle and make them strong enough to fight the demon king. Hopefully this boring battlefield will end before the next generation.
At the forefront of that battlefield, Siegfried and Eldmia were standing today.
“The ground is red.”
“It’s a land that has been stained with blood for years. This is good enough.”
The warrior and the flute knight.
At first, even those who only cared about the warriors start to stir when they recognize the fame of the flute knight and the two-handed ax and helmet. Even Entire, who had been seriously injured a few days ago and was recovering, showed up and was delighted with the resurrection of the warrior party for a while. Tension fell on the faces of those who realized what it meant that more knights and paladins were deployed next to them than usual. .
“As soon as I show up, the signal flare will go up. It takes about 20 minutes for them to react and deal with it.”
The sight of Eldmia, who nodded lightly and relaxed her shoulders, corrected her grip on the axe, was very menacing.
The stone statue seems to be moving when the armor, which is apparently made of simple but very solid, is combined with a tall figure that is half a fist taller than most knights. The helmet, which protects the face and neck in such detail that one wonders if it is right to see the front, cannot even guess how the visor opens, so it feels like it is not a helmet but the head of another being.
“I should give you an unforgettable 20 minutes.”
As if a word from Eldmia flowing from the helmet was a signal, a trumpet announcing the advance rang out from the rear, and the battle began.
The warrior and the flute knight did not run.
It didn’t even happen that I rushed into the enemy line and disrupted the battle line like in the scene in the legend. Siegfried moved forward much more calmly than he always did, and Eldmia also stood beside him and proceeded calmly. The calm and ordinary appearance of the two people who did not reach the ranks of supermen, but who are sure to reach it soon, had the power to make the surroundings tense because they were rather ordinary.
This was no different from the Demon King’s army. Noticing the human army, the imperial flag, and the warriors approaching far away, some of them lamented their own luck and sent out a signal.
The signal that followed like a beacon will be transmitted to the headquarters in an instant and lead to the appearance of units that have consistently stopped the warriors on the battlefield recently, but that does not mean that they can move the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Responding to the hero’s movement means that he must move one step later than the opponent, and it was always the soldiers who saw blood while moving so slowly.
Sighs came from all over the demon king’s army, but that didn’t mean their will was broken. Still, a hero is better than a superman. The battle that has continued like that for the past few months is just unfolding again. Everyone thought so and prepared for a battle with the hero by raising their magic power.
“Those who are not loyal to the apostates! Drop your weapons!”
Everyone may have been taken aback by the sudden outcry because they believed that the same daily routine would repeat itself. Heads tilted without asking who said first at the strange advice, not the usual shouts and curse words, and the shouting continued even while questions lingered.
“Those who truly care about the fate of the demons! Escape from the temptations of evil spirits and come to me!”
It was a sound coming from a knight with an ax standing next to the hero. At least, only a few of them whose brains are spinning a little faster are ‘Are they renegades?’ I guessed, but there was no horn in the helmet that protects the head firmly.
“Those who voluntarily escape from Epaga-sama’s shelter! Death will make atonement!”
So they laughed at the same time. Every now and then, crazy people appear. No, I won’t attach a madman to the hero’s side, so is that some kind of sabotage strategy? It was a very natural process for such a reaction to spread across the ranks.
“For the peace of the continent and the glory of the devil!”
– Pip!
Even at the moment when an unknown whistle reverberated across the battlefield, most of the Demon King’s Army thought that way.
“They’re all really crazy…”
And in return, the shield soldiers in the front line died without even reacting properly.
It happened in an instant that the sacred law composed of strangely familiar sacred power flew over their corpses while they stared blankly at the colleague standing in front of them suddenly collapsing.
“Death to the apostates!”
The demon kings who witnessed the scene were convinced.
something, something is wrong
◈
Of course, it was the soldiers fighting on the front line who noticed the huge cracks on the battlefield faster than anyone else.
“The battle line is broken! Assault! Assault!!”
On the side of the Demon King’s army, the front line began to be compressed to the extent that it could be confirmed with the naked eye.
“Push it! Horny brats, the squares have become thinner! Today, we plant the kingdom’s flag on Deer Tail Hill!”
On the side of the kingdom army, they couldn’t keep up with the breakthrough power that exceeded expectations, and a tense situation unfolded, almost making a hole in the front line.
It was an obvious good fortune for the kingdom’s army to anyone’s eyes, but it wasn’t an expected result, so it was everyone in a tense situation.
If you can’t keep up, your allies will be isolated. Based on the experience accumulated over a long period of time on the battlefield, the soldiers subconsciously understood the situation and ran to support the units that showed unknown breakthrough power faster than orders from the superiors.
The scene of the cavalry opening the road for support, the infantry blocking, and the knights running was more refreshing than any recent battle on the front, so some soldiers cheered with excitement. Those who somehow saw and understood the situation were thrilled and sought God.
“Even if my arm is cut off, run! Never leave me alone!”
Finally, a new wind blows through the wires.
Realizing this fact, the kingdom army laughed, and the demon king army cried.
“The sword of the human race?!”
“No signal! Just regular troops and warriors! The Superman is not moving!”
“But why are you like that!”
Confused commanders rushed to determine the cause, but it was not enough. The aftermath of the chaos from the warriors was beyond what they could have imagined.
Even if he has not yet entered the ranks of superhumans, he is still a warrior. And because it was the kingdom army and the empire that had no intention of letting that hero die, there were certain strong people around him.
But that is already within the assumed range. No matter how much troops were removed, it did not mean that they ignored the power of the enemy and moved. They were moving their troops, assuming that not only the hero, but also the situation in which up to two sword masters would appear at the same time, and the positive situation in which the hero penetrated deeply with excessive greed was also considered.
But now it has gone far beyond that.
As if there are two warriors.
“The Flute Knight! The Flute Knight has arrived!”
“There is no fucking dragon!!!”
In the midst of confusion because he couldn’t accept the sudden change of situation, he was the commander who unknowingly threatened me with a nonsensical report, but I had no regrets. Why is there a story about a madman jumping from the sky riding a flying dragon in a sky without even a single bird?
Normally, I would have been very nervous at the shout of the superior, but seeing the kingdom army gradually accelerating the breakthrough, the spine became chilly, so the soldier who devoted himself to evil answered as if he was fighting back.
“That crazy bastard is coming this time without a dragon! With dragons and love!”
Fortunately, the commander had common sense, but was not incompetent or stupid. Feeling unusual, he sent a signal, and the wizard next to him cast a spell to check the battlefield.
The sight that appeared in conjunction with the crystal ball was devastating. There is not a single archer in sight, but for some reason, allies die irregularly from all directions, and while the fear is contagious and their movements slow down, warriors and other knights rush in like war horses.
Among them, the only thing that stood out was the existence of a man holding a two-handed ax and almost slicing allies.
It wasn’t too hard to figure out who it was because it was the look written on the order.
“Levien’s Nightmare…!”
flute knight.
Everyone firmly believed that he would aim for the rear again, but for some reason, that madman was rampaging with the hero in the front line.
In the midst of his teeth grinding, the flute knight suddenly stopped striking his axe and raised his head.
It was difficult to see his gaze because it was covered by the helmet, but strangely, both the wizard and the commander tilted their heads as they seemed to be looking at magic that was floating in an invisible form in the sky.
“Hey, is he looking at magic right now?”
“That can’t be the case. This is invisible magic…”
The wizard’s face drained of blood as he tried to refute this nonsense.
With the index and middle fingers of his left hand outstretched, the flute knight pointed to the location of my eyes, and soon, with only his index finger extended, he aimed precisely at the magic eye.
Unlike the commander, who couldn’t help but react with a sense of rage, the wizard screamed as if he had seen a ghost and stepped back and ate the crystal ball.
