Chapter 1307

Episode 1307. Have you ever heard of people living there?

The place where the Imperial Army and the Southern Kingdom Army are currently confronting is Urban of the Principality of Topla.

After Torrance was taken away, the Imperial Army focused their efforts on the defense of the industrial city of Urban.

The southern kingdom army sent in as many as 15 steel golems, but they could not break the will of the imperial army to defend Urban.

Although it is true that the steel golem is the strongest weapon on the ground, the Southern Kingdom army must advance anyway to capture the city.

However, the southern kingdom army failed to capture Urban, a strategically important city.

Although they won major battles, it was because of the imperial army’s strategy.

The Imperial Army, pushed back from the front, sent a special operation unit to the rear of the Southern Kingdom Army to block the supply route, and the Southern Kingdom Army took three steel golems out of the front line to guard the supply route.

The steel golem being repaired counts.

With the remaining nine steel golems—which the Imperial Army is desperately defending—it was not an easy task to occupy Urban.

For that reason, the wires were stuck for months with Urban in the middle.

The war situation was against the imperial army.

This is because the southern kingdom army can leave behind the problem of supply and advance into Urban.

However, the Duke of Clan Boucher, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Kingdom, considered securing the safety of the supply route as his top priority because of his prudent personality.

There is also a reason why the Duke of Clan Boucher valued the supply route more than occupying Urban.

This is because the Imperial Army should not have stolen the steel golem and repair parts sent by the southern kingdom.

He thought, ‘Anyway, if you send more steel golems from the southern kingdom, you can capture Urban at any time, so there’s no need to overdo it’.

In the meantime, the Imperial Army was able to covertly lay the groundwork for a counterattack.

Principality of Topla.

around noon.

Louis Fraser III, the crown prince and commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, called Marquis Reid Costak, chief of staff of the expeditionary force, into his office.

Moments later, when Marquis Reid Kostock entered the office, the prince asked.

“What is the status of the Battalion unit?”

“Three hundred musketeers armed with excitiums and six Goliaths are on standby.”

The prince nodded.

I received the first three, and then, as promised, I received a total of six, one for three months.

“It’s six... It’s a pity, but I’m sure it will attract the steel golem’s eyes.”

“Currently, the number of steel golems in the southern kingdom group is nine. If they see Goliath, they will think it is their prey and run at it.”

“Tomorrow morning, we will launch a general counterattack. When the Batalion troops neutralize the steel golem, they push the enemy all the way to Torrens at once. I will entrust the vanguard to the Marquis Carlisle, so wash away the shame of your defeat.”

“All right.”

“And dispatch an inspector to the Battalion unit sometime today.”

“The Inspector?”

“We can’t just trust and entrust Axisium to the gunmen, can we?”

“I’m presumptuous, but will you become the manager when the battle begins?”

“It is meant to be symbolic. You won’t be able to change your mind once you know that Excitium is being thoroughly managed.”

“I see. I will instruct the Inspector General to assess the status of Excitium once a day.”

“Are there 30 Goliath engineers?”

“That’s right.”

“Tell them to increase to one hundred.”

“Isn’t that too many for Goliath’s numbers?”

“To collect and study the destroyed steel golem, that number of people is not enough. Shouldn’t we use the steel golem we got?”

“My thoughts were brief. I will send more magic engineers to the Mage Tower.”

“You’ll have to coax it well so that the magic tower doesn’t rebel.”

“Don’t worry about that. The atmosphere among mages has changed little by little since Xytium was distributed to the gunmen.”

“already?”

“Aren’t they smart people? Beyond the fact that an Excitium gunman can replace a battle mage... it’s to the point where the military notices it. They must be afraid of gunmen armed with excitium now.”

The armor of the three steel golems was punctured, and one of them stopped working and fell backwards.

This time, in the camp of the Imperial army, ‘Waaaa!’ A shout rang out.

It was only natural that Goliath destroyed the steel golem, which was intact even after being hit by the magic cannon.

Like golems with egos, both Goliath and steel golems were quick to judge.

The magic guns on the backs of the Goliaths aimed at the two-legged steel golem.

But it’s not just Goliath that has an ego.

From the eyes of the steel golems, a ray of red light called the ‘light of death’ stretched out.

Goliath’s arm brushed by the ‘light of death’ was separated from his torso.

Do-doo-duk-!

Before long, the steel golems approached the Goliaths and twisted their bodies with both hands.

Once again in the camp of the Southern Kingdom, ‘Waaaa!’ A shout broke out.

But the joy was short-lived.

Three hundred musketeers rushed forward from the imperial camp.

The Battalion unit moved.

The iron golems threw the scrap metal they were holding and turned to the Imperials.

At that moment, the Batalion’s musketeers fired their magic guns all at once.

Puff puff puff puff—!

Surprisingly, like when he was beaten by Goliath, the steel golem’s body was punched with holes.

The steel golems that had stood like pylons fell backwards like trees whose roots were cut off.

In the battle between humans and steel golems, humans finally won.

As the steel golems fell, Marquis Reid Kostak drew his longsword and shouted.

“attack! Leave no one alive!”

At his thunderous command, the Imperial Knights rushed forward.

Subsequently, the entire Imperial Army rushed towards the Southern Kingdom like a wave.

The moment the steel golems were defeated, the war was already decided.

The southern kingdom army couldn’t even resist properly and was pushed to Torres at once.

Like a lie, the tide of war has reversed.

The following day, the Imperial Army completely drove the southern kingdom army out of the Principality of Topla.

So the war went back to square one.

However, no one doubted the victory of the Empire, just the appearance.

The Abyss Wilderness.

Count Larva Omar, who was walking the mountain path in the lead, hesitated.

Fabian, who had taken a few steps ahead, quickly returned to him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look at this.”

The finger of Count Omar of Larva pointed to the mountain path.

Fabian, not understanding what he meant, tilted his head.

“Are you telling me to look at the road?”

“Right. Didn’t you say you were on the road now? Isn’t it strange that the road is deep in the unexplored land where no one has ever entered?”

“uh? Is that so?”

Fabian surveyed the mountain path with keen eyes.

I thought it was a road run by animals, but after hearing Count Omar’s words, I’m suspicious.

Somehow it feels much better than that.

“Have you ever heard of people living in the outback?”

“It can’t be. Even a sword expert won’t be able to survive in a place like this.”

Fabian shook his head.

Wouldn’t it be unknown if it was Tameion’s demon? It would be difficult for people to live even a single day.
