My Villains Episode 441
65. Peak of Spring (16)
Ninety-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 slave 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 become 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 places in a circle drawn with mercury and gold dust. A white pillar 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 ‘black ice’ with a relaxed 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 Abillambus accompanied to the retreat, there were very few cowards who would be crushed by the might of a single elite knight.
Wow!
Again, not pillars of light, but pillars of light flew. The night sky flashed one after another. The masses of white energy surged in a ferocious parabola.
The red knight still pulled the reins with a relaxed gesture. Lee Gak-soo, who turned his head, moved briskly, sticking out his horn, and the black blade again drew a large, smooth trajectory.
thudung! Kugu Palace!
Most of the light masses banged hard on the banks of the river, splashing 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 quickly completed the spell prepared in advance, made a ‘copper ogre’ with a copper rod, dangled the light of ‘decomposition’, 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 the last spear of power was sucked in by a black 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 place.
A spell learned by a master of breath magic who spent his last years of quiet life in a peaceful village 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 placenta used up the spells prepared by the placenta 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 was common to miss it and fly to the wrong place 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.
“launch!”
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
“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 have comes 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 blade.
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 blade close to 3 meters and fired a slash.
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 breastplate and torso were split in two.
“Forbuk!”
Hopcorn, who rolled on the ground, belatedly memorized the start language, and translucent patterns flashed 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 black body with ‘bloody blades’ 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 black 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 blades 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 cold laugh. White blades rushing in from all directions cut off several strands of hair, slashed earlobes, and gnawed sparks from Vambraces.
Either that or not, Phoenix grabbed the blade in front of his eyes with his scaled hands and threw out black 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 black blade coiled around the white blade 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 blades 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 blade 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 black blade 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 blade. However, the two longswords were removed from the sword strikes that continued without time lag.
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 blade 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.
