Counterattack (4)

puck!

The arrow pierced the Imperial Army's forehead.

Flora Lawrence quickly hung arrows to protest, while busyly grasping the surrounding situation with her eyes.

'We're being pushed.'

It was as expected.

Joining Count Vandenberg's forces, she knew that even a surprise attack would not give her an edge in hand-to-hand combat.

A person with a brain and common sense could not know.

The soldiers of the Kronos Empire differed in quality from the beginning, and this part was discussed in the conference room.

in conclusion.

bet the number of wins.

Knowing that they were at a disadvantage, Cairo's soldiers joined the operation.

"Commander!"

Flora exclaimed.

She calculated the variables that would occur on the battlefield overnight, and presented a plan for how to respond to situations like this one.

The opinion was opposed by other leaders.

They said it was against the purpose of the operation, but Flora determined that her plan was the perfect way to use Roman Dmitry's weapon.

to Flora's cry.

Count Vandenberg raised his voice.

"Construct a shield wall from now on!"

"Construct a shield wall!"

Orders spread quickly.

Then the soldiers of Cairo, who had been scattered in all directions, flocked to one place.

Among them, the soldiers with shields stepped forward, interlocking square shields to form a wall of shields.

It happened really quickly.

They did not have much time to prepare, but they had rehearsed in advance what they would do on the battlefield.

chuckle.

A wall of shields that rises quickly.

The Imperial Kronos army showed a puzzled expression.

The shield wall was a strategy commonly used on the battlefield, but it was not a formation well suited for a surprise attack.

Flora's operation.

Baron Noel said:

Flora. In this operation, speedy action is important. Shield walls are a way to bridge the power gap, but taking time out of a defensive formation can be dangerous for an attacking force in the middle. We also need to make sacrifices and be aggressive. That way, the meaning of the surprise attack can be properly saved."

It was a valid opinion.

Flora wasn't denying either, but one fact divided their opinions.

Belief in Roman Dmitry.

Flora Lawrence was convinced that Roman Dmitry would make a difference even if they were attacked from both sides, so it was important for the Cairo Kingdom Army to preserve as much power as possible.

After all, the Imperial Army alone cannot completely deal with the Imperial Army in the rear.

Flora's strong argument was accepted, and after watching the match with a surprise attack, they decided to form a shield wall when they were pushed back.

"Put the shield on your body!"

"Don't allow a break!"

The face of battle has changed.

An attacking imperial army and a defending imperial army.

The Imperial Army of Kronos pushed forward with the thought that they had gained momentum, and the soldiers of Cairo resisted the enemy's attack with their shields.

It wasn't just the defense, though.

He tried to attack by piercing the weapon through the gap between the shield and the shield, and from behind, the archers including Flora fired arrows towards the sky.

Push Shush.

papaya!

"Great."

Arrows fell like rain.

The Imperial Army screamed and collapsed, and Flora threw her arrows at the protest once more, wiping away drops of sweat mixed with blood.

His ears were deafened by the shouts and screams of people.

He couldn't look straight at the blood-stained world before, but the time he spent on the battlefield gave him an unwavering composure.

It was a fierce battle.

Time felt like an eternity.

Even after killing the enemies, the enemies that came in showed no sign of diminishing, and the wall of the shield gradually opened up as the attacks continued.

Each time, other soldiers came forward and filled the gap.

Stepping on the corpse of his comrade, he stood up, clenched his teeth so that the Imperial Kronos army could no longer push in.

Dizziness occurred.

I kept wanting to give up in the hot sun, but I couldn't lose my concentration in the battle that cost my life.

That was then.

When the heat of battle reached its limit.

Flora, who saw something from afar, shouted with a bright expression.

"Allies have arrived! Release the shield wall and attack the enemies!"

far away

I saw an ally running.

It was the start of the counterattack that Cairo had been waiting for.

* * *

leader of the allies.

Chris was there.

He appeared with his troops, raising an aura and rushing towards the enemies.

Follow me!

Quiet rumble.

Aura exploded.

The soldiers of the Kronos Empire attacked Chris in unison, but the moment the two forces met, Chris' swordsmanship ripped their bodies apart.

It was a simple swordsmanship that made me goosebumps.

He cut the chest of the first soldier he encountered, blew the necks of the two soldiers who rushed after him, and, as the imperial soldiers with frightened faces showed hesitation, they flew towards them first.

"Great!"

"Stop that guy!"

It was a massacre.

Dmitry's soldiers, with Chris at the forefront, unilaterally slaughtered the Kronos Imperial Army.

Battle with Barco.

southern front.

And until this civil war.

Dmitry's soldiers were veterans who overcame major events that were not normally experienced.

They became blood boiling warriors on the battlefield, and they didn't care if their opponent was Taishan called the Empire.

Each war they experienced was weak.

Those who overcame that inferiority longing for victory under any circumstances.

The situation was reversed.

In a situation where they were being attacked back and forth, the knight who initially led the Kronos Imperial Army raised his voice.

"Hold on a little bit and your allies will arrive. So hold on anyway!"

Contrary to the words spoken.

He knew the situation was unfavorable.

In order to reverse the current atmosphere, it was necessary to restrain Chris from running wild.

Curly rumble.

"I will deal with you!"

3 star inspection.

He exploded an aura.

He cut down the soldiers who blocked him with a single knife, and rushed towards Chris.

Even in the chaotic battlefield, it was a moment of focus.

Although Chris showed a menacing appearance in a short period of time, he still felt that his life could not be guaranteed against a three-star prosecutor.

That moment.

flash.

Whoops!

" !"

The knight's head flew off.

The moment he reached his nose and was about to wield his sword, he closed his eyes once and then opened them, and his head floated in the sky.

It was a shocking scene.

single blow.

Processed a three-star test.

It wasn't the result of being overpowered by an aura.

Chris watched the enemy approach until the end, and as he attempted to attack, he accurately captured the opening moment.

Chris had experience defeating a three-star prosecutor two years ago.

The incomparable development of the island war was so fast that the Imperial Knights could not react.

That was the beginning.

Aura swordsmen of Kronos.

They ran all at once.

Auras exploded from all directions, trying to save Chris' life, but they fell out in a single blow just like they had just before.

in one attack.

one death.

The sharp sword reached its climax.

Chris' relentless force was enough to frighten the Kronos Imperial Army.

The glare of Cairo.

It was the moment when a being who would make a name for himself on the continent revealed his presence in earnest.

* * *

When Count Fabio arrived at the scene, the hell of Abigail had already unfolded.

" hey, what is this?"

Roman Dmitry.

It was him.

He was blocking the road, and he was slaughtering the rushing imperial army.

I got goosebumps.

The force that overwhelms the numerical superiority is also powerless, but he knew at once what Roman Dmitry's position meant.

The Imperial Army of Kronos formed a long procession.

As the middle was attacked, the soldiers moving from the front all flocked to the middle, but Roman Dmitry blocked the path from the front.

That is to say.

Soldiers arriving at the scene had to face Roman Dmitry first.

Even though it was a common-sense choice that was nothing more than an act of suicide, he had only one reason to block the road.

'Does this mean that you can handle such nonsense?'

No explanation was needed.

corpses lying beneath their feet.

That proved Roman Dmitry's choice.

By the time Count Fabio arrived at the scene, numerous troops had been slaughtered, and even passing him could not avoid being killed by Dmitry's men.

eyes twitched.

I was genuinely surprised by Roman Dmitry's audacity, and I couldn't get my head around the power of Dmitry, who was stronger than I thought.

Roman Dmitry.

The rumors were true.

At first I thought it was just a frog in a well, but now that I see it, it is a monster that is hard to find even in the Empire.

That was then.

"Commander! The situation in the rear is not good! At this rate, the troops in the rear may be attacked from the front and back and be annihilated."

was a lieutenant

After receiving a call from the rear, he said in an urgent voice.

The light went out on the foot.

Now was not the time to admire.

Cairo boldly made the choice to open the gates, and he couldn't miss this heaven-given opportunity.

'If you are attacked outside the castle by Cairo or something like that, you have no reason to return to the Empire and see other people. Taking advantage of Cairo's civil war has already been rendered useless, but if they don't punish the arrogance of their enemies, the Kronos Empire will be ridiculed by the continent. Leaving aside the benefits of this battle. We must punish our enemies unconditionally.'

"Kronos Knights."

Yes.

Count Fabio's escort.

It was the tenth of the ten knights that Kronos possessed.

As they looked to Count Fabio to carry out his orders, Count Fabio said in a voice brimming with intent.

"Get rid of that thorny Roman Dmitry right now. If only that guy was defeated, the Cairo Kingdom would not be able to afford it any longer. And go straight to the back... ."

Moment.

Count Fabio stopped talking.

It may have been an illusion.

Roman Dmitry, who was far away from him, was looking at him as if he had heard Count Fabio's words.

* * *

There is a saying that when you meet a wild beast, your body hardens.

Their roar gives an overwhelming horror, and Roman Dmitry's gaze was utterly captivating.

The accident circuit was hardened.

While giving orders to the Knights Templar, it felt like the world had stopped.

That was then.

"Great."

Roman Dmitry slashed the enemy and smashed the ground.

It was certain.

He made eye contact with Count Fabio, and as soon as he recognized the commander's presence, he rushed towards this side.

It was an absurdly reckless decision.

The distance between him and himself was not short, and Kronos' soldiers were infested along the way.

With common sense, it was impossible to penetrate them all and reach him.

just as expected.

The imperial army rushing in black attacked Roman Dmitry as it was.

'finished.'

I closed my eyes and opened

in that momentary moment.

Things have changed.

Roman Dmitry slaughtered the soldiers of the tribes he encountered, and a path was opened in the space filled with the Imperial Army.

Flash.

The distance was narrowed even more than before.

Dozens of soldiers rushed at one step, and Roman Dmitry was willing to take their lives to advance that step.

In such a situation, the Knights of Kronos ran forward.

Count Fabio did not finish the order, but they knew that Roman Dmitry had to be dealt with wisely.

among them.

There was also a 4 star test.

A strong rising aura grants firm trust.

Flash.

blood splattered

The head of the four-star swordsman floated in the sky, and the sight of the knights of the other Kronos Empire falling down caught his eye.

every time you blink.

A shocking thing happened.

He thought he could never reach him, but Roman Dmitry reached a not-so-distant distance before he knew it.

I found out then

'You crazy bastard.'

Roman Dmitry.

Seriously, he intended to break through this crowd and kill himself, the commander of Kronos.
