Chapter 215

Overpowered Sword Chapter 215Level up with swords (215)

When Irexana and the Holy Iron Knights reached the border area between the two armies, those who were confronting each other in a hostile atmosphere fell silent.

It had to be that way.

Clearly the number was not large.

It was not possible to fill even 100 people, let alone 1,000 people. Compared to the 10,000 cavalry that was created by selecting and selecting elite soldiers from the border territory, and the Fermat army that was completed after decades of preparation, it was shabby.

Nevertheless, the commanders of the two armies did not dare to guarantee superiority.

“oh! They sent three guys! Anna and even bald heads!”

Adela smiled as she looked at the three people approaching ahead of her.

The color of the Mozeta fluttering down their necks was red. It’s a cardinal. Nearly half of the strongest members of the Holy Order, of which there were only ten, had gathered in Portroy.

The cardinals, led by Irexana, greeted her.

“It’s been a while, Cardinal Adela.”

“Has it been 10 years? “We met again, sister!”

“You’re still as short as ever, Adella.”

Irexana bowed politely first, then Cardinal Anna hugged her in a gentle manner, and finally, Cardinal Dominic curled the corners of his lips and made a joke.

He was a truly fearless person who once almost got buried along with the church headquarters.

Adela struggled, a few veins sticking out between her eyebrows.

“hey! Let go of this! “I’m going to kill that bald bastard!”

Anna, who suddenly became her safety device, broke into a cold sweat.

“Hey, calm down. “Dominik, you know very well that this human being’s mouth is free-spirited.”

“Cardinal Dominic, please be considerate too.”

“All right.”

“What do you know! “I don’t think you’ll know until I rip your snout off!?”

The four cardinals bickered for a while, then returned to a friendly atmosphere and greeted Leon and his group.

Adelaman was still glancing at Dominic.

“See you again. how are you?”

Leon said with a wry smile at Irexana’s words.

“It’s the same as always. “What about the Cardinal?”

“Haha, that was a pointless question. So do I. Fortunately, I’m glad I did my part.”

It was indeed as he said.

Each of the cardinals had master-level power, and it was difficult to mobilize them carelessly because the area they were in charge of was so large. This was because a huge amount of resources and manpower would be consumed to fill the hole they left behind.

However, the Holy Order decided to dispatch as many as four cardinals and the entire Knights of the Holy Order.

Excluding a few people who could not join due to distance, more than half of the force was gathered.

“Is this your first time meeting me like this? “Hero.”

Anna, a female cardinal with yellow hair as delicious as a wheat field, extended her hand to Leon.

Based on his appearance, I guess his age is around 30.

However, even though she spoke and acted like a young person, she strangely felt like a local lady, which led me to intuit that her actual age was much older than that.

Leon wasn’t foolish enough to say that out loud.

“Yes, nice to meet you. “Cardinal Anna.”

She then said hello to Dominic, the man standing behind her.

“You are Cardinal Dominic, right? “I’ve heard a lot about it.”

“Hehe, please forget everything. “It’s all just a lie.”

“It really is a lie.”

This time Cardinal Dominic twitched his eyebrows.

Maybe it was someone else, but he might not have wanted to be embarrassed in front of the hero.

Either way, Leon thought of one question.

“Cardinal Irexana, Lord Jugend…?”

Three cardinals and about 60 Knights Templar.

It was undoubtedly a very powerful force.

Even if you clash with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, you will be able to gain the upper hand rather than being pushed back. It could also be said that they are a group that transcends common sense, overwhelming their numbers with the quality of their troops.

However, when it comes to functioning as an army, the number of men was an essential factor. Above all, Jugend, which is famous for being a military powerhouse, would not have known this reason.

“…sorry.”

Irexana made no excuses. He just apologized with a bitter smile, as if he had been waiting for Leon to say something.

“The Jugend Kingdom army has already stopped its advance in the Viscounty of Rado and has entered a war of occupation in that area.”

“What does it mean?”

“We decided that there was no reason to advance to the imperial capital and shed blood since we had gained enough benefits.”

Only then did Leon understand why the Kingdom of Jugend had made such a decision.

‘Is it a difference in perspective?…’

It was a matter of gain and loss.

The balance between the Sacred Church, which pursues justice without calculating profits and losses, and the nation, which prioritizes its own interests, were bound to tilt in different directions in fundamental aspects.

The Clyde Empire is vast.

In order to occupy the territory and establish effective rule, the Jugend Kingdom army should not have advanced too far.

So I decided to stop.

It was a very natural story.

“Even with my position as Grand Meister, I couldn’t overturn all the decisions of the military upper echelons and the royal family. “The limit was to station them not far from the imperial capital so that they could go out if the situation occurred.”

“Oh, you didn’t completely withdraw your foot?”

“It’s a distance that can be reached in two days, but it probably won’t be of much help in practice.”

Even if they do come forward, they will not actively fight.

Even if they won, there was no benefit and it only benefited the Revolutionary Army and the Fermat Army. It can be said that it is nothing more than reserve power in case of an unexpected situation.

Still, Leon comforted the downcast Irexana.

“That’s enough. All of you who came to visit us like this are no different from gaining a thousand soldiers and ten thousand demons.”

As he said that, he turned around.

I remember the moment when the ugly atmosphere in the barracks where the leaders of the Revolutionary Army and the Fermat Army were gathered collapsed.

Now it was they who took the lead.

It was time to stop the worthless debate.

Leon returned to the barracks with the three cardinals.

“May the grace of the Goddess be with you. Nice to meet you guys. “This is Irexana, the third cardinal of the Holy Order.”

In addition to Irexana’s words, the other two also declared themselves.

“I’m Anna, the 8th Cardinal.”

“My name is Sixth Cardinal Dominic.”

Including Adela, there are four cardinals.

It was visible that not only the revolutionary army but also the Fermat army were at a loss for words, with expressions of discomfort on their faces as if they were out of breath.

Just a little while ago, I was wondering if they would be able to defeat Leon and his group, but with the three cardinals and the Holy Iron Fraud Knights added, they won’t be able to defeat them even if they push through with an army.

Even Cedric was so calm that he didn’t show any signs of starting a fight because he knew that if he fought like this, he would just get beat up.

‘Now that I think about it, you said you were defeated by Cardinal Irexana.’

If you still remembered the difference in skill, you would have been cautious about pulling out your sword in front of Irexana. No matter how much of a battle fanatic he was, he could be self-respecting if the fight itself was not viable.

The same was true for the Marquis Walter, commander of the Fermat army.

He thought about it for a few more minutes and then, with a heavy sigh, decided to come to terms with this reality.

Refusal was not the answer.

“Wow, my whole head hurts. I can’t help it. In accordance with the church’s mediation plan, I promise to maintain mutual inviolability between the two forces until the overthrow of the ‘Light Emperor’ Nex and the fall of the imperial capital, Karelum.”

“Thank you, Sir Walter.”

“but!”

Walter widened his eyes and pointed at Lian.

“You too must keep your promise to me! “If we confirm the death of Nex and the defeat of the Evil Church, the Holy Church must immediately take a step back from the conflict between Fermat and the Empire.”

“of course. Because that was an inviolable condition.”

Irexana responded with a look that said she expected that to happen.

He then clapped his hands once to attract the attention of the leaders and pointed out something that everyone knew but had not pointed out.

It was just a matter of time.

“If the two of you have the same understanding, there is no need to waste any more time here. “Isn’t supply reaching its limit?”

“Wow, you knew everything.”

“Hehehe!”

Lian and Walter agreed with him with a long sigh and cleared their throats.

There was no difference between the revolutionary army and the Fermat army.

Even the cavalry and chariot knights. This formation that focused on mobility in itself meant the destruction of the supply line, and since it was aimed only at a short-term decisive battle, it did not assume a long-term battle.

Even with the help of the Holy Church and the mobilization of all remaining resources in Port Roy, it would be fortunate to last more than 15 days.

“Fortunately, the ecliptic Karelum is not that far away from this gateway city. “A cavalry unit can cover a distance in half a day, but even if you save your stamina and travel slowly, you will arrive within a day.” Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irexana connected the two dots on the map with red ink and continued speaking while looking at the people around her.

“Let’s advance to Karelum.”

“Since when?”

The answer was fixed.

“Starting now.”

Suddenly, while the western horizon was tinged with twilight, an army of 30,000 troops began to move.

Ecliptic Karelum.

Like an arrow meant to pierce Clyde’s heart.

* * *

“――You’re coming.”

It was a voice without a single trace of emotion.

Bishop Mors of Chaos looked at the writhing air beyond the horizon with a look that seemed like he knew it would happen. This insight was a natural ability that had nothing to do with external teachings.

It’s been like that since birth.

Is it true that you may know ten ways of water, but you don’t know one way of people?

To Morse, there was nothing more meaningless than that proverb. Because all his ugly intentions were reflected in his cloudy eyes.

“at las! Is it finally! “I’ve waited a long time!”

Necator, who was lying next to him, jumped up and shouted.

“Is it a cult?! Or the Kingdom of Fermat? I don’t mind rebels! “I wish there were as many people as possible to enjoy it!”

“many.”

“Oooh! sibling! “You don’t betray my expectations!”

Necator roughly tapped his shoulder a few times, causing Mors’ shoulder joint to break and go limp.

But Morse did not utter a single groan.

I just casually regenerated the joints and put the misaligned bones back together. In terms of combat power, he is a few levels lower than Necator, but in terms of strangeness and madness, there is no that surpasses Mors.

No, if I had to choose just one person, it would be the Archbishop, but—

“It looks like he won’t come forward again.”

Necator, who had been running wild with excitement, suddenly stopped.

“…It’s always been that way.”

“yes. “It’s always been that way.”

Morse muttered in his usual gloomy voice.

“Is there a place for us in his grand plan? “I decided not to expect more.”

“sibling.”

“It was like that when Cordia died. Even if you lack a piece of firewood that you chopped down the day before, you will receive a richer response than that. “In the end, we are nothing more than straw.”

Even the madman who took over the most powerful country on the continent with pure malice and cunning could not understand the archbishop’s thoughts.

There was a time when people believed him to be a prophet and obeyed him.

There was a time when people believed and revered him as their savior.

Memories from the distant past were painted black in Morse’s mind.

Not anymore.

“I will create chaos. “I will open the gates of hell, swirling with blood and flames in this world, and ask the questions that came from within my mother’s womb.”

The eyes, filled with madness, were shining gray-white.

Necator just looked at Mors.

He was someone who never once hesitated or wandered because he left the direction of his life to impulse and pleasure. It was a life like a thunderbolt struck from within a cloud like an arrow fired.

“Are you still looking, brother?”

“Of course. There will be no stopping until the end of this life.”

Morse wanted to ask.

To those who come from beyond, to those who can move forward without doubting their own justice.

To myself, who couldn’t live that way.

Why was I born like this?

I will realize through my life questions that even the goddess cannot answer.

“Come, justice.”

Morse spread his arms wide and smiled with a kind face.

“I will treat you with my malice.”

The day of battle approaches.
