Chapter 340

Episode 340 To the Holy Kingdom (1)

Celestia got excited when Sileria was kicked out in front of her eyes.

If you really haven’t been engaged, don’t you still have a chance for yourself!

She laughed at Sileria inwardly.

‘It’s not something that can be done by pampering me like a child.’

Although they are only a year or two apart at most, he sees Silea as a much younger child than he is.

Celestia smiled like a victor.

She has been waiting for more than a year.

Now, in terms of patience, he was pioneering a kind of Tao.

Celestia firmly believed with one side of her heart that if she waited, someday she would choose her.

However, the person in charge, Ray, was not interested in them.

When the two princesses are having a war of nerves, they start putting the delicious food on the table into a leather sack.

From all kinds of fruits to dry food.

It didn’t take long for the leather sack, which was not very large, to fill up.

He picked up food and ate until he was full, and quickly left the place.

“You two talk a lot.”

He speaks quietly and leaves the banquet hall.

Being in a place like that only drains your energy.

I have already finished talking with the kings, and the atmosphere of the two kingdoms is not bad, so there will be no problem if I am not confident.

‘If Devon and Celia continue their alliance properly, it will be of great help in the future.’

If Celia, the center of trade, and Devon, who have strong military power, join forces, they will be able to grow rapidly.

As it took a long time to grow, I will use it as usefully as possible.

Harpman took the telegram and burst into admiration.

“The attack really started.”

Everything was going as Ray said.

Merchants and merchants begin to fall under mysterious attacks.

Even if it was only yesterday, when the business that was doing business collapsed, the remaining top companies fell on fire.

The upper class lives on credit.

Since they did not receive the goods to be delivered, they hurriedly covered it with their own money.

As a result, funds began to run out.

It was embarrassing to attack those struggling to survive, but he couldn’t help it either.

Hafman finally decided to run the money.

He was usually a treasurer of gold, but once he made up his mind and released the money, small and medium-sized merchants were swept away.

To make matters worse, the trade routes and the ascending roads were suddenly blocked.

In regions and villages where merchants stopped visiting, prices almost doubled.

The villagers became bandits as their livelihood became difficult, and the merchants, who lost funds and credit, could not survive for several days and disappeared one after another.

As a result, less than two weeks had passed, resulting in a terrifying result in which the upstarts lost their sense of humor.

Not a single country could escape the enormous impact of the collapse of the business world.

As the number of people who can pay taxes decreases, the capital also becomes short of funds.

However, it was frustrating because it was impossible to trade.

At first, they tried to raise the caravan and restore trade routes, but it was all to no avail.

If things get a little twisted somewhere, everything falls apart within no time.

I tried to investigate the cause, but nothing came out, so it was just futile.

In the end, what they came up with was war.

It could turn the kingdom’s great crisis into a war.

If you win, the land will become wider and the resources will also come into your hands.

Did I mention that other people’s rice cakes look bigger?

The current situation was exactly that.

The atmosphere of the continent turns violent, and battles break out near the borders of several kingdoms.

As a result, the public sentiment of the people also left.

At this time, there was someone who was robbing the top, so it was Ray.

He investigated in detail the merchants who maintained their power even though the ascending route was cut off.

The fact that there is no significant impact even in this recession means that money continues to flow in from somewhere.

The sentries who hurriedly came to their senses blew their whistles with all their might.

Boo Woo Woo-!

As if in response, a whistle can be heard from the walls on both sides.

Perhaps they witnessed the same thing.

Soldiers armed with armor and countless hordes of monsters.

They were advancing in a straight line toward the gate.

Judging by the speed, if they collide like this, the castle gate will surely be broken.

However, it was something they couldn’t stop.

I closed the gate that was open and climbed up the top of the wall.

While they were restless, knights came out from inside the castle.

“What’s going on!”

At the sound of whistles resonating in several places at the same time, they came wearing half-plate armor.

The sentries who became contemplative explained the situation.

“These are some monsters! Seeing that there are even soldiers, it looks like the enemy!”

Only then did the knights who discovered a group of people running frantically from outside the castle wall startled.

Even if you roughly count the monsters, it seems to be 3,000, and the soldiers in the back seem to easily exceed 1,500.

On the other hand, this place could be said to be the end of the southern part of the Holy Kingdom.

Even if you gather all the soldiers you can muster, there will be no more than 4,000.

It seemed impossible to stop them.

3,000 soldiers and 3,000 monsters are different.

If there is even a large monster in the middle, the damage will increase unless the knights deal with it.

Fighting head-on is the worst thing to do.

The knights who grasped the situation began to issue orders to the surroundings.

“Prepare for battle! Buy time until reinforcements arrive!”

“All right!”

It was early in the morning, so many soldiers were still awake.

They hurriedly got up and prepared themselves, and an army of 3,500 men was formed before they knew it.

Place archers on the wall and send few priests and priests to the rear.

Then it became a pretty plausible formation.

While they were preparing, the group of monsters were getting closer.

The knights shouted as they approached the castle gate before they knew it.

“Shoot!”

Peeing-!

Piing—!

Numerous arrows embroidering the sky pierced the monsters one after another.

“Kuaaa—!”

This caused the enemy to hesitate for a moment, but it was only a moment.

They came right in front of us and knocked on the walls and gates.

Whoops-!

As medium and large sized monsters rushed in, cracks began to form in the gate, which was only solid.

Frightened by him, some soldiers ran away.

“How do you stop that kind of thing!”

“Don’t run away! Block the gates!”

The knights hurriedly approached, but it was already too late.

Kwaaaang—!

The ogre’s punches shattered the castle gates.

The bodies of the knights who came running froze at once.

When three knights gather, enough ogres are captured.

Even the ones in front of me were three trolls, two ogres, and dozens of small monsters.

Let alone blocking it, it seemed difficult to survive.

“Seriously...”

The knight who was about to say something was blown away by the ogre’s fist.

The body was already limp as it fell to the ground spewing blood fountains.

Seongguk, a powerful nation that no one seemed to be able to touch.

The southern territory of that place had allowed the enemy to invade in vain like this.
