Chapter 119 Part 2
“You fought well for a three-eyed. As expected of one who received the title of Brave. That you have bothered our eyes, go to the side of Hundred Eyes<Argos> and tell him.”
As he walked towards him, he raised his club into the air. The Brave let out an inaudible groan as he barely lifted his arm. He still had not recovered enough to move. A strike aimed at his head began to come down and…
“T-That’s…!! What!!”
Just then, the surrounding giants raised their voices. A commotion spreading over the surroundings.
What the giants are looking at is not the battle between the False King and the Brave. They were all pointing to something distant in the sky.
The False King, who was suspicious of the attitude of those surrounding him, immediately realized something. He had forgotten about the Brave and turned back to him in a hurry. The edges of his mouth twisted as the words slipped out hatefully.
“It couldn’t be… coming this late, what the heck are you thinking Oberon!”
A huge shadow could be vaguely seen in the distant sky. As the numbers steadily increased it’s true form was revealed, Dirty Beast<Cretovastia>. The great enemy of the giants and the ones that obeyed the Rubel Clan. Now they were moving with a different intention.
The False King stared at them with a hostile gaze, then he noticed. It is not only the Dirty Beast<Cretovastia> in the sky. Beyond the group there was an extraordinarily huge existence. The False King opened his eyes wide and let out a scream.
“I cannot believe it… you moved it?! What have the Sorcerer <Magha> been doing? No, it’s different… I see, Little King. You bastard…!!”
The False King’s words were drowned out by the sound of the beasts’ wings.
-
Prior to the giants, the Silver Phoenix Knights had received a warning from the flying knights.
“Luminous signal sighted! I’m detecting a demon beast. Moreover, this is… Cretovastia!”
“So they’ve come.”
On the bridge Ernesti listened to the report and pondered slightly.
Dirty Beast<Cretovastia> has appeared, indicating that the Goblin’s work had failed, or perhaps…
“What if this is exactly what he expects?”
The smiling face of the Little King<Oberon> passed through his mind. He did not think it was a simple mistake. Sending the Dirty Beast<Cretovastia> in this situation must have a meaning.
“Also, it’s not just Cretovastia. That huge thing is…”
A huge presence looms behind the flock of Dirty Beast<Cretovastia>. Considering that the Dirty Beast<Cretovastia> is a duel class magic beast, what should it be called. In terms of size alone it passes even the Land Emperor <Behemoth>. He had never seen such a huge flying creature before.
“Do you know it?”
Eru turns to the person standing at the edge of the bridge. A smile floats across Zacharia’s face when asked.
“Rest assured Sir Echevalier. That was the work of my lord. Let’s call it his trump card. Let us now sweep away the giants and bring a good future to the little demons.”
Hearing the words spoken with conviction, Eru thought for a moment
“I see… in that case.”
He gave his orders to the Silver Phoenix Knights.
-
It was not only the sky that started to move with the discovery of Dirty Beast<Cretovastia>.
The same was true for the second company that had been deployed on the ground.
“You’re late, but I see you made it.”
“What about the Izumo?”
“Seems like he already knows. He’s on the move.”
He looked up at the heavens and then ran his gaze across the ground, finally settling on Dietrich. He is the commander.
“They’re being led by the Knight Captain, they’ll probably do whatever it takes. We have something to take care of on the ground.”
“What’s that?”
“Our allies, the Allied forces of the Clans. That’s also part of our duties.”
The surrounded giants are deeply upset, the Second Company sighed deeply.
“We got the short end of the stick, didn’t we?”
“Don’t grumble, that’s just how it is at the front lines.”
There’s no point in lamenting. Once they decide on a plan of action, they promptly get to work.
“ The Cretovastia are approaching! Giants, fall back!”
“But, we are in the middle of the Question. The Cretovastia are here… if we step back now, we will never reach the Answer!!”
A sorrowful reply flies. If the Dirty Beast<Cretovastia> join the battle, the Allied forces of the Clans will not stand a chance. This is something they learned during the True Eye Rebellion.
“For what reason do you think we are here? The Knight Commander will surely blast them away. More importantly, it’s dangerous to be above ground!!”
“Nuu…”
The giants looked at each other in frustration and reluctantly followed the Second Company’s directions. The sky could only be left to those in the sky. The heat of battle receded and flowed with the wind.
They retreated, wary of a follow up attack from the Rubel Clan, but they too seemed oddly confused about the situation. The late appearance of the Dirty Beast <Cretovastia> must have been an uncalculated event for them as well.
Taking in both the sky and the ground, Dietrich’s expression soured as he looked across the battlefield.
“Well, what will you do now, Knight Commander? To take on the Cretovastia, even if you say you won’t fall behind easily, with this many of them…”
If it was only smaller groups, similar to what they had encountered before, the Silver Phoenix Knights couldn’t possibly fall behind. However, the scale of the Dirty Beast<Cretovastia> headed towards them was beyond just a few dozen.
