Chapter 155

Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 155Episode 155

The Dawn Corps command center barracks was buzzing with excitement.

“There is no answer! We must pull back our defenses!”

“What nonsense! “How can you just hand it over when you have occupied the hill?”

“Chief of Staff, are your two ears decorative?! Isn’t it said that Archduke Mephisto is joining them? It’s well over 5000! Are you planning to kill all the soldiers just to protect one mound?”

Mephisto was one of the great dukes of the Gyuhwan world. He was leading his troops and heading to the front. Approximately 5000 demons. If they join, the number of troops will reverse.

It was impossible for the Continental Army to increase reinforcements to match that number.

Of course, the highland battle in the Baekgol Desert was important, but protecting the recaptured sacred site was the most urgent priority.

Of the 45,000 troops, 25,000 were stationed at key points on all sides in or near Benbeck Bay.

If we reduce their numbers and allow them to join the highland battle, we may lose the sacred site.

A situation may arise where the belly button is bigger than the stomach. There was no such disappointment.

The chief of staff slammed the table.

“This frustrating person! “It’s not just a mound!”

It was the only road to the next sacred place.

Although it was currently occupied by the Continental Army, there was a high probability that it would be taken away again.

If Duke Mephisto joins, it will be difficult to stop him with 20,000 troops.

After exchanging words with the chief of staff, the infantry division commander sighed.

“Who gives up at all? We have to wait for reinforcements from the continent. “30,000 more will arrive within 15 days.”

When taking the Shaylan route, it takes a total of three days to reach Benbeck Bay from the continent.

Now things have changed a little.

This is because the Continental Army lost some of its control over the sea near the point where the continental sea changes into the demonic sea.

It was nice to see that the road stopped in the middle.

A fierce naval battle was taking place there. The devils were not fools, so they worked hard to take control of the sea.

In the waters of the Demon World, beyond the reach of the sea god Shaylan, the demons had a few numbers advantage.

For this reason, reinforcements and supplies were being delayed.

The infantry division commander said:

“Think about it. “If you give up the hill, we will have to pour more than twice as many troops into retaking it.”

The commanders nodded.

“It’s not wrong.”

“Mephisto’s corps includes a lot of demons.”

“It will definitely be more troublesome for us if they take root in the mound.”

The Earth Demon was a demon with a very good ability to protect a certain area.

The moment he eats the hill, the difficulty of recapturing it will skyrocket.

The infantry division commander swallowed his sleep.

“But…”

“You have to protect it.”

“That’s right.”

“There is still about a week left until Mephisto joins. In the meantime, we were reorganizing our battle lines and building barbed wire…”

The infantry division commander who was listening clicked his tongue as if he was frustrated.

“It’s already been more than 15 days. “The soldiers were exhausted and their morale was low.”

He turned his head to Ibischler, commander of the Daeseong Armored Division, who was sitting at the head table.

“Your Excellency, retreat is not defeat. Please make a wise decision.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ibischler.

He was lost in thought and slowly opened his mouth.

“······His Holiness Taekwang gave us one month.”

Aiden ordered Bayjorn to be restored before the end of the year.

“But if I step back now, I won’t be able to make an appointment even if the year changes.”

If we pull back the defense line, the recapture of Bayjorn will be delayed.

The infantry division commander shouted.

“But Your Excellency! “We can’t defend the hill with our current forces!”

Ibischler took the baton. He said while looking at the tactical map in the center.

“How about a surprise attack on the Mephisto troops joining in?”

The baton pointed to a typical canyon.

Mephisto will most likely pass through there and join the second legion of demons.

“It’s not just rough terrain. “There is no place like this to ambush one.”

Due to the nature of the canyon, the side that makes a surprise attack has a distant advantage.

The infantry division commander said:

“······The Valley of Marah is much closer to the enemy camp. There is a high chance of being discovered, and if that happens, the surprise attack unit will be wiped out.”

The Chief of Staff opened his mouth.

“How about using the Dragoons?”

The infantry division commander shook his head.

“We can’t bring them in. “The Navy won’t be able to hold out.”

Demons were operating floating ships in nearby waters where they were fighting for control of the sea.

Of course, the continental navy should also prepare for the airspace. The Dragoon Corps took on that important responsibility.

I could never get it out.

The Vice General of the Archer Cavalry said.

“What about the Assassin of the Heavenly Army?”

Killing Star Gerzo. It was Yoo Ji-tae’s third character.

“He must be good at hiding.”

This time Ibischler looked skeptical.

“Gerzo’s assassins total less than five hundred people. “No matter how surprising it is, you can’t fight against an army ten times stronger.” seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of any more people who could go.

At a time when everyone was silent, someone from the very last corner spoke.

“······The Navy remains.”

Jurein von Nedvall. He was a young captain.

He had no particular mission. Because Yurein’s navy was stranded in Benbeck Bay.

Several commanders gave reprimanding looks.

“It is not the place for a single captain to step forward.”

“Know your topic.”

Commander Ibischler stopped them and said:

“Aren’t you the hero’s brother?”

Yurain’s expression was subtly crumpled.

Euron This bug bastard disobeyed his older brother’s orders and left the place to become the hero of Baekyang.

Everyone had already learned about it through the Bible.

Every time Yurain heard that story, his blood boiled. A bastard who was expelled from his family is recorded as a hero simply due to luck. He didn’t deserve it.

I bowed my head in the affirmative.

“That’s right. “My brother is Euron.”

Ibischler raised the corners of his mouth wide.

“I have read Lord Euron’s spirit over and over again. “As a paladin, you deserve to be respected.”

It sounded like bullshit, but Yurain also responded politely.

“Nedval always remembers duty. “That’s what the family teaches.”

Ibischler nodded as if satisfied.

“It’s a good family motto. After all, lineage proves character. It’s like a prestigious family. So what did you want to say?”

Yurain stared straight at the commander.

“My soldiers can head into the canyon without being detected.”

You have to make a point. If Euron had revenge on his family, Yurein also had to have the strength to prepare for it.

It was also an opportunity to revive Nedbal, who was slowly falling. I went to war for him.

Ibischler opened his mouth.

“Hmm… aren’t your soldiers part of the navy? “We won’t be able to use our power on land, and we’ll be caught before we get there.”

Yurain shook his head.

“Nedbal carved his bones and flesh for this day. Any battlefield doesn’t matter. Also, if you go up the river, the devils won’t notice.”

Of course it is. Because there was no river near the Mara Valley, the demons had no reason to prepare for a waterway.

In other words, the Continental Army is in complete turmoil.

You would have to go north along the river, land on some land, and then march back to the Valley of Marah.

It would take a lot of time, and there were countless threats lurking around.

Ibischler smoothed his beard.

“It must be difficult to meet the deadline. “We have to reach the canyon within a week.”

Several commanders nodded.

“Dismissed.”

“It’s too late.”

Nedval opened his mouth.

“My crew can row for four days and four nights. “We can arrive easily and we have already developed a strategy.”

He looked at Ibischler.

“Commander, there is no other way. “Please allow it.”

Ibischler tapped his palm with his baton and pondered. I spoke after being lost in thought for a while.

“It’s an impossible operation.”

Nedval’s expression crumpled slightly.

“······Why is that so?”

Ibischler pointed to a point on the map.

“River of Saha. Did you mean to choose this place?”

“Exactly. We have even identified the upstream anchorage point. “I can make it on time.”

“Maybe so. But do you know why this river is called Saha?”

This is because it is the habitat of a high-ranking demon beast called ‘Saha’.

“Of course I know. However, Saha was burned to death by the hands of Paladin His Majesty.”

Ibischler nodded.

“It was 200 years ago.”

“There is no Saha anymore.”

“Please read the magic book carefully. How many times has the denomination sprayed this? “I guess it would have spread to the South as well?”

Rockharin, the spear knight who was listening, opened his mouth.

“The saha lays 10,000 eggs every spawning season. He also finds everything and eats it himself.”

Nedval frowned.

“Anyway, doesn’t that mean there is no Saha?”

“no. “The reason Saha eats her own eggs is to sacrifice all of her siblings to just one chick.”

“So in the end…”

“Do you know when a cub that grew up in its mother’s womb eating its siblings comes out into the world?”

Nedval was silent. Ibischler answered instead.

“This is the moment the mother dies.”

Saha was a magic beast that used that method to reign as the highest entity.

Nedval stammered.

“Ha, but as he burned to death, even that bastard…!”

Rockharin opened his mouth.

“Who is to say about him? “We cannot deploy the military into uncertain unknowns.”

The commanders clicked their tongues or openly reprimanded them.

Commander Ibischler looked at Nedval, who was chewing his lip, and then looked inside.

“Everyone is so sensitive. Everyone, please get some air. “Let’s meet again in two hours.”

Then he left the tent first.

As Yurain, I was disappointed by the old men in command.

I missed the opportunity because I was afraid of a possible demon.

Well, he was just a culprit. I couldn’t be a hero.

*

Reddish twilight. The son-in-law’s black shadow darted across the foot of the mountain under the sun.

It was Fenrir.

Aiden and the wolf had already arrived near the White Bone Desert.

Originally, it was a distance that would have taken more than ten days to travel from Baiken to Benbeck Bay.

Two days were enough for the head of Heilang.

Fenrir, who had been running silently all day and night, opened his mouth.

“It smells like Taekwang’s blood. “I feel like I’m human.”

“Is it nearby?”

“Well, it’s about 5km.”

Iden narrowed his eyebrows slightly. There was no battlefield within 5km nearby where humans could shed blood.

There would still be more than 30km left until Baekgol Wilderness. Is there a human breeding farm nearby? One o’clock was urgent, so there was no time to release him.

This is because I heard the prayers of the believers last night.

【St. Walenstal, please give me an answer. 】

It was long-winded, but to summarize, it was simple.

I’m in a situation where I have to pull the wire, so what should I do?

Aiden told us to defend until the end.

I couldn’t explain in detail that I was still not familiar with how to use revelation.

I just need you to join the battlefield as soon as possible.

Fenrir said.

“What should we do with Taekwang?”

After thinking for a moment, Iden opened his mouth.

“We’ll stop by quickly and then go to the front.”

In the past, he would have ignored it and said there was nothing he could do, but recently, Iden felt a slight change in his feelings.

Rather than using the excuse of ‘noble hypocrisy’ to do good, something was coming from within.

Is it because we were too invested in the god ‘Aiden’ rather than the human Yoo Ji-tae?

Or

it may be because they have the power to practice what they believe is right without any sacrifice.

It could be both. Aiden himself didn’t know exactly.

I just wanted to liberate myself no matter what.

Fenrir changed his course.

As I stepped on the rock wall and jumped up, a stream of water trapped in a dense forest came into view.

“It’s over there.”

Iden frowned.

A giant snake coiled around a human scream and a burning ship.

There was a frenzy going on in the river.

There was no smell of blood coming from the kennel.

The Saha River turned red. human fatigue.

Aiden was dumbfounded. Sending troops into the Saha River? Was the White Bone Wilderness command center this incompetent? As far as he knew, absolutely not.

Iden jumped up onto Fenrir’s back.

Instead of the dying sun, it soared high and condensed its divinity.

A holy light stretched out from his grasp. It stretched all the way to the surface of the water and pierced the snake’s head.

The flying black blood evaporated in the air.

Everyone on the ship looked up at the sky.

Iden falling. Relief seeped into the hearts of people who were steeped in fear.

Iden stepped onto the deck of the ship in the very center.

One by one, he stopped the believers and said,

“Search for survivors first.”

Everyone moved frantically.

Aiden glanced around.

“Who is the commander?”

Among the five transport ships, not a single platoon of the Demonic Beast subjugation team was visible.

There was no one-person strongest military force, the Ten Holy Halls.

It was difficult for Iden to understand how something like this could happen.

Someone came out of the cabin and stammered and shouted.

“You Eurain von Nedvall. I meet His Holiness Taekwang. “I believed that He would appear here.”

lie. The mind’s eye decided so.

“Is this a solo act?”

“That’s right. “To overcome difficulties despite everyone’s opposition, like His Holiness during the Winter War of the past…”

Iden nodded.

“Right. “Please come back first.”

“Ha, but. “We were heading toward the Valley of Marah.”

“Mephisto has already passed.”

Darkness passed over Yurein’s face.

Fenrir fell down and said.

“Commit suicide. That’s what Heilang does.”

Iden shook his head.

“I’ll leave the decision to Euron.”

Because I was curious about what to do with my relatives.

After saying that, he climbed on the wolf’s back.

I went straight to the Baekgol Wilderness.
