Chapter 461

Episode 461: The Increasing Number of Slaves (1)

“The Four Spirits have Disappeared!”

“Don’t scatter the battle lines...!”

Silia’s soldiers lost their morale when they saw the large army rushing in.

It seems that the training so far has not been a bubble, but no one has recklessly left the battlefield, but the situation is still not good.

In the current situation, the knights and centurions, who should not be panicked the most, were busy taking care of the surroundings and forgetting the soldiers’ leadership, and the thinking paralyzed when the soldiers also had to make decisions.

If an all-out war continued like this, Celia would surely be defeated.

But even so, Ray waited.

Even though the forces of the Black Room were gradually approaching, they waited silently for them.

Then the soldiers held their spears with hard eyes.

The knights rode their horses and headed for the vanguard, and the centurion commanders began to prepare camps by commanding the soldiers little by little.

Even if it rots, it is said to be Junchi.

Celia’s soldiers are strong.

Even if his morale is down, he knows how to fight when the time comes.

Besides, judgment is quick.

Count Mendes, who was the deputy leader of the Knights Division, was coldly brainwashed.

“Commander... no, as of this time, Commander Ronell is considered a deserter. He was stripped of his position and became Celia’s enemy.”

Thanks to the mana contained in the voice, each soldier could hear the sound clearly.

My teeth trembled at the betrayal of the commander I trusted the most.

At first glance, I heard that it was the Ronel faction that insisted on this small battle.

The sense of betrayal I felt was even more indescribable.

The centurion said to Count Mendes.

“It’s going to be a tough fight, Count... The soldiers are in poor condition. Besides, fighting right after eating... It’s the worst condition.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. How can you say such a thing when the enemy is right in front of you?”

“I’m sorry...”

“It’s not like I don’t understand your feelings. However, it would be too unfair if it collapsed here.”

At the words of Count Mendes, the centurion hardened his heart again.

“...He is too.”

to die like this

This is literally nothing but dog death.

How did you live and how did you feel satisfied with the end?

As his breath seemed to come alive, Count Mendes quickly gave orders.

“Tell the soldiers to set up a defensive line! If you collide with such a large army, there will be a great shock!”

“yes!”

The centurion spoke and disappeared.

‘As expected, there is a corner that I like.’

The deputy knight commander.

He is an old general who has defeated several kingdoms that tried to invade Celia in the past.

He has a lot of experience in fighting, is bright in military affairs, and tends to get along well with soldiers, so his reputation is not bad either.

In the rearmost battle line, Ray took off the helmet and cloth that covered his face and took the lead.

Because of his striking appearance, the soldiers around him stared blankly at him.

The appearance of the saint was widely known not only in the Holy Land but also in places where his activities were frequent.

In fact, it was not difficult to distinguish because there were not a few people who actually witnessed him.

“Sung Son...”

“The Holy Son has come!”

Starting with someone’s cry, the soldiers gathered their eyes.

Their white hair fascinates them as if painting a picture in the forest.

With each step he took, he slowly stepped aside as if soldiers were making a path.

The mana radiating from his body revealed his presence.

Before long, Count Mendes, who was staring blankly at Ray from the vanguard, appeared in front of Ray, who had reached the knights.

“Are you going to keep standing like that, Count Mendes?”

Earl Mendes, who hastily came to his senses at his words, lowered his head.

Again, the words came out of his mouth.

“Fog. Chain lightning.”

Jigsaw Jigsaw—!

An intense electric shock swept through the forces of the Black Room.

Sparks flew across the ground, and the knights in plate armor could not stand it and fell off their horses.

There were a few knights who survived without fainting, but even those did not seem to be able to move their bodies easily.

Ray didn’t even miss them.

“Go get Count Mendes!”

As if calling Yellowy next door, he ordered Count Mendes.

“iced coffee......? Ah yes!”

He, who was stunned by the horrors of the battle for a while, led the knights under his command.

“Follow me! Arrest the wicked black men who dared to threaten the kingdom from the borders of Silia!”

“Yes yes...!”

The centurion and the knights reacted belatedly.

Up to 5,000 troops were annihilated without a chance to even try.

They were still in shock.

* * *

Rumors from the border reached the royal family of Celia through the mouths of the soldiers.

In front of the knight who was reporting, King Deogard forgot his face and clapped his hands.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! You mean that? You mean the saint hid as a soldier to save the kingdom?”

If you are a general soldier, you are the lowest among the lowest.

To sneak into such a place and try to save the kingdom!

The king was convinced of that.

‘It is certain that the saint has a crush on Celestia.’

If not, why would I be so desperate to save Celia!

King Deogard had overlooked one thing about him.

Celia is his hometown and the home of his beloved.

Besides, even though Ray doesn’t seem like that, he is secretly morally strong.

It was impossible for him to not move even though he knew that the Black Room would attack and that Ronel Knight Commander would betray him.

If he did not move, as many as 3,000 soldiers would die.

It would have been better to save him even if he had to disguise himself as a soldier to see it.

However, King Deogard, who couldn’t even guess such a fact, was still laughing happily.

He cleared his throat, and belatedly regained his grip.

“Hmmmm. good night. Did you find Ronel?”

“It... I don’t know where it disappeared. It seems that he ran along the water’s edge.”

The price is perfect for erasing odors and footprints.

If you follow it, it will not be easy to find even if an expert in tracking comes.

“You made up your mind and set a trap. To think that the Black Room was able to appease even the Marquis of the Bone Kingdom... Maybe the wine was too complacent.”

However, even with that thought, doubts remain.

The point is, why did the Black Bang, not the Allied Forces, come to visit us?

Originally stationed on the border were Allied forces.

But there, the Black Army, not the allied forces, was waiting for them before they knew it.

It even went as far as raiding, so there were not one or two suspicious parts to dismiss as mere coincidence.

The moment when King Deogard was contemplating the connection between the Black Room and the Union after issuing a congratulatory order to the knight who had finished the report.

A soldier’s voice could be heard from outside.

“His Majesty the Holy Son is requesting an audience.”

“Come in.”

“yes.”

Asking for an audience with a saint is always very enjoyable.

He had heard quite a bit about Celestia’s agenda, so he was treating Ray as a preliminary son-in-law.

Contrary to the king who thought so, as soon as Ray arrived, he spoke to King Theogard in front of him.

“I don’t have to repay the ransom money for the Black Bang group that I took as prisoners or the grace for helping Celia at the border, so give them to me.”

King Deogard, who knew he would ask for a daughter this time, blinked when a completely different sound came out of Ray’s mouth.
