My Viins Episode 441
65. Peak of Spring (16)
Ny-five hours after the sun goes down.
There was only heavy silence in the two camps, with the river rippling in a light green color in the middle.
Destruction, which mercilessly crushed wooden fences and mounds, and defensive spells that reduced the damage caused by it, even a little, stopped.
The sergeants who shouted and encouraged morale held their breath and counted their men, and the soldiers who cursed at the enemy buried their heads in the newly dug trenches in the rear and chanted prayers.
The cavalrymen retreated far away to protect their horses, and the officers stood on the watchtower in the center, which was barely protected, and watched the enemy lines.
So around midnight.
From the camp, where countless torches were lit, a booming drumbeat could be heard.
Doo Doo Doo-! Didn’t I want to see the Emperor’s army enter my territory?
The two electors seemed to have neither the patience to wait until morning nor the intention to hide their impatience. A fierce offensive wind blew against the west wind.
As if the sound of the drums alone was not enough, the soldiers of the Duke of Strom, who led the way, and the pagan ve corps advancing after them, made loud footsteps.
The number of troops thus deployed was more than two thousand. The soldiers of the Kingdom Army, who were as messed up as the defense lines hiding in the defense line that had be a mess, were overwhelmed by the momentum.
At that time, a rider appeared, climbing over the remains of a wooden fence.
It was a red knight riding a bicorn.
He gave the reins lightly and at once stood in front of the narrow river.
“Hopecon-!”
Even in the middle of the sound of drums and footsteps, the red knight’s shout
echoed through the night sky.
“Hopecon!”
It wasn’t the old swordsman who answered the call. They were the saboteurs who took their ces in a circle drawn with mercury and gold dust. A white pir of light surged through the darkness and flew towards him like a darting arrow.
Instead of driving the bicorn sideways or twisting to avoid it, the red knight pulled out the ‘ck ice’ with a rxed gesture. Then, drawing a smooth trajectory, he struck back with the ‘Spear of Power’.
Pakaang!
A long column of light bounced off the other side with a piercing sound. The spear of power that flew over a hundred meters blew off the head of the unlucky soldier Duot.
“It’s heavy.”
The red knight straightened his sword. It was a smiling face as if admiring the tingling repulsive power transmitted through the hungry ghost.
Was it because he was nervous from a superhuman move or was it because he faced the ‘rider of madness’ that swept the Zeln Tree? The eyes of the strom privates who took the lead wavered for a moment.
But it was only a moment.
Among the 1,000 or so elite soldiers that the Duke of Abimbus apanied to the retreat, there were very few cowards who would be crushed by the might of a single elite knight.
Wow!
Again, not pirs of light, but pirs of light flew. The night sky shed one after another. The masses of white energy surged in a ferocious parab.
The red knight still pulled the reins with a rxed gesture. Lee Gak-soo, who turned his head, moved briskly, sticking out his horn, and the ck de again drew arge, smooth trajectory.
thudung! Kugu Pce!
Most of the light masses banged hard on the banks of the river, sshing dog dirt at the feet of the bicorns. Not all of them fell to the ground, but melted like sugar in front of a pair of horns, and one shot bounced off the enemy knight’s sword.
Cagaang!
It was the battle mages of the Strom family who stopped the masses of white smoke that flew towards the imperial camp. They quicklypleted the spell prepared in advance, made a ‘copper ogre’ with a copper rod, dangled the light of ‘dposition’, and opened the ‘refraction passage’.
Goo.
As the red giant stood up in front of the soldiers and swung his fist, the spear of power that hit it shattered into pieces with a sharp metallic sound. The mass of light hit by the thin green ray scattered like sand, and thest spear of power was sucked in by a ck orb that floated in the air and suddenly soared into the night sky.
While the red knight was appreciating the magic of the enemies with a look of admiration, several ‘destruction spheres’ flew in this time.
“…Do you still have mana left after shooting these madmen all day?”
While he muttered in disgust, the old mage who had been guarding the watchtower squeezed out mana.
Whoops!
Unlike usual, when he swallowed his breath and then let out a powerful gust of wind, this time his chest swelled up endlessly. The body of the old man, who had grown to the point of being bizarre, was enveloped in smoke with the sound of ‘Pung!
‘
Transformed into a translucent, gigantic form and floated in the air!
The shape, reminiscent of the cloud giant in mythology, bluntly swung a hazy air mass resembling an arm, and blew away the purple spheres flying at the red knight to the wrong ce.
A spell learned by a master of breath magic who spent hisst years of quiet life in a peaceful vige in Antrum while getting caught up in a war.
It was the so-called ‘metamorphosis of Oggschlizo’.
“Now!”
At Staff Fogan’s shout, the wizards of the Kingdom Army, including Epos, spat out the start word all at once. What the wizards, whose eyes were puffy, fired, were fireballs, brass-colored letters, and dried, twisted pumpkin vines.
However, the target was not the enemies across the river, but a huge figure floating in the air.
Goo Woo-
Ogslesjo was forbidden in his translucent form. And with a gale that brought the grass and flowers of the whole field to their knees, they vomited the spells they had stored on the enemies.
“Kheop!”
“Raise your shield shield!”
It was such a strong wind that the sturdy heavy soldiers stumbled.
About a dozen battle wizards from the Duke of Strom tried to respond quickly, but the situation was not going well.
The centa used up the spells prepared by the centa to block the spear of power bounced off by the enemy knight or the orb of destruction that suddenly fell on the soldiers’ heads.
Besides, it wasn’t easy to block the spells flying in the gale. Its speed was also speed, and it wasmon to miss it and fly to the wrong ce even when the shield was unfolded.
In the end, the attacking spells through Ogsulizo swept through the enemy lines in an unmanned field of view.
Quaang!
“Keep!”
“Avoid the blood!”
“Keep in line! Stay in line!”
The fireballs shot by the mercenary wizards right before they fainted exploded here and there.
Where the runes fell, brass light radiated in all directions, and the soldiers who blew it turned into pitiful sheep or fat pigs.
The wilted pumpkin vines grew rapidly and covered all sides like snakes with dozens of heads.
unch!”
As Fogan raised his sword and shouted again, the archers gathered under the watchtower poured down the arrows they had saved until the end. A strong wind blew into the rain of arrows that passed through
Oggshlijo’s lumpy, transparent form.
This attack, aimed at beasts with armor removed and soldiers entangled in vines, was not much fun. This is because an old woman called ‘Seonsa’ among the saboteurs spread a hemispherical force field.
Jjaeng!
The transparent force-field shield deflected hundreds of arrows imbued with the gale, before scattering into seven fragments that swarmed the defenses of Oghshlijo and beyond.
The pieces of the force field sent by the old woman scattered the des and broke the translucent giant.
The shape that was shaking like that was dyed in a purple color that didn’t suit it. The demon of Jaan took flight in its unique brilliance.
“Antizr!”
Atnta, whose third eye shed, reached out with a sharp cry. In the empty space, a huge purple shape, the ‘Grasp of the Void’, popped out and smashed the flying pieces of the field like a boomerang. Other fragments were pierced by the intertwined purple spears in pairs and shattered like ss.
“Geueueu-” Jaan’s demon gripped the ‘white thorn’ in reverse. The brilliance bursting from her cervical vertebrae dyed the moon purple, and a purple me rose from the white window.
“Rabun gelna!”
Following the harsh curse, the thrown spear became a ‘fire’ and shot toward the enemy camp. Its tail was stretched out like a ray of light or a meteor.
“This crazy-”
“Protect Seonsa, Seonsa!”
The thunderbolt of fire, which flew close to two hundred and fifty meters, pierced a dozen soldiers and two saboteurs – no, they split them apart.
Then, a saboteur hurriedly tore up the scroll to break the ‘mud barrier’ and finally dug into the chest of the old woman with a devastated expression.
the very next moment. A purple sh exploded, and dozens of pieces of meat were scattered.
“O”
The demon of Jaan, who stumbled in the air for a moment,nded on the ground as if practically falling, with its brilliance clearly shrunk. And after a full day of hard work, he passed out.
While she was being carried to the rear in the hands of the Hares Kisses, Og Schlizo managed to regain his form and let out a gust of wind.
Backed by a favorable wind, the red knight threw a javelin with a joyful face. Blocking the east wind, the javelin hit the middle of the forehead of the copper ogre, and the grate was shattered and the spearhead split with the tremendous impact. The red giant also fell backwards with its forehead crushed.
“Hopecon-!”
The copper mass fell and dust rose, which was swept away by a gust of wind and hit the soldiers.
Riding the momentum, Phoenix jumped the reins and crossed the river.
“You cowardly old man! How long are you going to hide!”
The red knight raised his left hand high with his sword hanging down. The palms of his hands bubbling, and red blood pooled in spherical shapes in the air.
“Come forward!”
‘Blood wind’ blew. Several veins of blood twisted like sharp whips and turned into red swirls.
Kiyiing!
Mixed with the gusts of Ogshlijo, the vortex, which split into five or six branches, hit the enemy camp.
Storm’s battle wizards, who were tense right after the demon of Jaan dropped the fire, quickly defended it using spells such as ‘Wind Ring’, ‘Refraction Passage’ and ‘Resolve’, so the victims of the bloody wind were reduced to a dozen. that hit
However, the sight of him mounting a two-horned beast and shooting red vortices was literally terrifying. For that reason, when the red knight advanced slowly with a cheerful face, the soldiers who had stopped advancing while the bloody spells were exchanged inadvertently took a step back.
“Get out of the way!” With a voice mixed with metal, the ranks of infantry split and a group of cavalry jumped out.
It was a group of about 70, including the master of double swords, his disciples, and imperial knights serving the Alzenberg family.
“ats.”
Phoenix greeted Hope Kern with a wee smile.
“Are you really here? I thought you would stay hidden until the end.”
“I never hid.”
His wildly grown beard swayed. The old man, possessing the dignity of a lord, the spirit of a knight, and the skill of a swordsman, calmly continued.
“I just fulfilled my responsibilities as amander.”
“I guess themander’s responsibility is to push the backs of the ves?”
“Are you talking nonsense again? Like a boring guy.”
Seongbaek got off his horse.
The heavily armed swordsmen followed their master and pulled out their twin swords, while the imperial knights drove a horse and drew a half circle around the enemy knight who had crossed the river.
“What is this doing?”
“…Iid down my responsibilities asmander. A noble’s face and a knight’s honor.”
Holy Baek Hopeken slowly drew out his two longswords.
“So you want to win, even if it’s dirty?”
“Because the battlefield is a ce where defeat is not tolerated. Didn’t you expect this to happen?”
A long sword with a wide crossbar and a heavy de, reminiscent of a falcon, and a long sword with a narrow tip and short handle reminiscent of a hummingbird paired up.
“I don’t know if it means much, but since I have been ordered to do so, I have to tell you.”
“Put down your sword and surrender. His Majesty the King promised the title of court envoy, and the Duke of Abmbus promised the title of Seonggwanbaek and a fief suitable for it
.” “…is that the only ransom for me?”
“Additionally, Prince Saverd, the eldest son of His Highness the Father, dered that he would make you your sire in the future if you surrender with your henchmen. It is to put your name on the genealogy of the Altenberg family.”
“Ehh.”
Phoenix touched the mane of the bicorn with an interesting expression.
“you are pretty?”
“what are you talking about?”
“Sabrd’s daughter. Are you pretty?”
Perhaps it was an unexpected question, the old swordsman paused for a moment before nodding his head.
“All three of you are pretty.”
“Wow, you have three daughters? it would be nice Who is the prettiest?”
“…it is difficult to distinguish superiority and inferiority.”
“If I had to pick just one, though.”
Seongbaek Hopeken tried to answer calmly even though his face was slightly distorted.
“The eldest daughter, Lady Sernard, is famous for her beauty and intelligence.”
“Would you like to?”
The red knight pondered for a moment, then shrugged.
“Oh, it is so difficult. Can’t we just look at her face and decide?”
“…How are you going to meet the person in Faberis?”
“You can bring me at least one portrait.”
“There is no such thing. Make a decision here and now.”
“Oh, it’s difficult. So how do I do this…
He scratched his head and smiled broadly
.
It was a cheeky smile that did not go well with the cold atmosphere, including the long sharp eyes.
“I can’t make rational decisions at night. Everyone is like that. Somehow, when I look at the moon, my sensitivity that I didn’t havees up and I make decisions impulsively.” At that mischievous tone, the old swordsman sighed and fixed his two longswords.
“Captain Buakan’s advice is absolutely right. It is best not to mix words with the red knight.”
“Oh what else? I’m seriously thinking about it right now. I’m really in a state where I’m going to go overboard or not, but try persuading me a little more.”
Seongbaek Hopeken held out his left hand holding the hummingbird sword as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.
At that time, the red knight struck the bicorn’s butt with his sword de.
Kheung!
As Lee Gak-soo suddenly lifted his hind leg, Phoenix moved his center of gravity forward and muttered a starter word.
“Aelo.”
pop!
The red knight was shot like a crossbow while stepping on the air pressure burst from his magic boots. Then, he pulled out a dark red de close to 3 meters and fired a sh.
Shocked!
“Must be”
the old swordsman quickly threw himself to the side to avoid it, but the swordsman next to him took a defensive stance. And the two longswords were smashed at once, and the breastte and torso were split in two.
“Forbuk!”
Hopcorn, who rolled on the ground, btedly memorized the startnguage, and translucent patterns shed on the leather gloves.
Wow.
A hemispherical anti-magic field enveloped the surroundings along with a fine shockwave. Ogshullijo’s gust of wind became a light breeze, and the battle mages of House Strom, who were preparing a new spell, recalled what they had muttered and recovered their mana.
At the same time as the mana froze, Holy Baek Hopeken and the eight disciples threw their bodies at once.
“Ha fuck.”
Impressed by the feeling that the blood in her body was solidifying, Phoenix swung the sword like a thunderbolt, revealing her ck body with ‘bloody des’ scattered.
Caga River!
A single knife drew a rough oval. The traces of five pairs of longswords were caught up in it and bent or twisted, and the rest cut through the air.
Daang!
Following the disciples, the old swordsman struck the ck ice with his sword. At the same time, he aimed at the enemy knight’s wrist with his hummingbird sword.
“The old man is nauseous!”
“It’s not what you said!”
A deafening metallic sound erupted every time the three des met. The two sword strikes were so fast that even the sound was muffled. The culprit couldn’t even count the number of agreements that came and went.
“Oh sir-”
Phoenix stepped backwards, took off the coat tied around his shoulder, and threw it at Seongbaek. Then he turned around and jumped among the disciples.
Sigmil’s swordsmen widened or narrowed the distance and surrounded the opponent, then swung their two longswords without shouting.
“Jerk the.”
The red knight threw himself at the swordsman in front of him with a coldugh. White des rushing in from all directions cut off several strands of hair, shed earlobes, and gnawed sparks from Vambraces.
Either that or not, Phoenix grabbed the de in front of his eyes with his scaled hands and threw out ck ice.
Kagagagak!
“Oh billion.”
Unfortunately, the swordsman who stood in front of the enemy knight grabbed the long sword on his right and desperately swung the other sword. Then, the ck de coiled around the white de like a snake and bounced off it, then twisted the opponent’s helmet and stabbed him in the eye.
hooked!
Phoenix hugged the swordsman whose brain was whipped by the tip of his sword and rolled forward. The paired des shed bloody momentum and chased after them.
The “suck”
red knight rolled over the muddy grass and threw the corpse he was holding onto towards the enemies. Aiming for the gap he had created, he cut his sword horizontally while lying down. The two swordsmen fell forward with their shin guards and calves severed at once.
“Gong-gyeo-billion!”
“Catch the red knight!”
About sixty imperial knights, who had been silently forming a siege, suddenly jumped at the reins. They fired their arrows as if the swordsmen didn’t care.
“what is this.”
While embarrassed, Phoenix pulled out a dagger with an ice-clear de from his waist and immediately pierced it into the armpit of a swordsman who was rolling on the floor.
“Kkeuheuok”
And then, using the dagger as a handle, he carried the sword on his back like a shield. As the arrows pierced or bounced off, the swordsman soon became a heavily armed corpse.
Immediately after the rain of arrows stopped, Seongbaek and swordsmen attacked again.
“Huh,”
the red knight twisted his lips crookedly as he looked back at the enemies that were all around him. Then he ran towards the old swordsman and his disciples and stomped his feet.
It jumped to an ambiguous height, neither too high nor too low, but it was as quick as a cat and a beast attacking its prey. In the midst of that leap, Phoenix twisted and rotated his whole body, starting with his waist.
I love you!
The ck de turned into a circle of steel. Three of the swordsmen who attacked did not even react, and their heads soared into the sky.
“Non-words-”
‘Flight of the Bird of Prey’ exploded at Hopeken Seongbaek, who opened his eyes.
Hawk Sword and Hummingbird Crossed quickly to block the horizontally cut de. However, the two longswords were removed from the sword strikes that continued without timeg.
tadak.
As soon as the red knight stepped on the ground, he stabbed, but the old swordsman managed to avoid it by bending his back.
York ”
Phoenix, as if expecting this, flew his body following the stab and attacked the Hopeken Seongbaek. Then, he stabbed the cage with the clear, transparent de he had hidden in his left hand.
“Turn it off.”
“I enjoyed.”
Looking down at the old man’s blurred eyes, the red knight twisted his dagger.
“Whoa.”
The enraged imperial knights shouted ferociously at Phoenix, who stood up in front of the Holy Baek of Hope.
