Chapter 781

Episode 781 Stolen Heirloom (3)

“Look. The sky is very red today.”

“Yes. But what is that?”

“well.”

Using the boys’ pointless conversation as a starting point.

As if the red-tinged sky were to announce the end, that day came without warning.

Countless flames embroidered the sky and turned the village into a sea of fire.

Soldiers who held the Confederate flag aloft had no mercy.

“Don’t leave a single one behind! Let’s show those fools who dare to declare war on this coalition what strength is!”

“Wow!”

The villagers were so helpless in front of soldiers armed with spears and knives.

In an instant, the borders of the Eton Kingdom were occupied and turned into their garrison.

* * *

News of the Alliance’s invasion reached neighboring kingdoms as well.

The declaration of war by the Alliance, which had been quiet for a while, made the small kingdoms tremble.

“Even we can’t stay still!”

“Your Majesty, the first move we make is to stimulate unity. Wouldn’t it be better to look at the trends first?”

“If they move right in front of you, it’s already too late! This is the order of the king, so assemble soldiers immediately and guard the border!”

Among them, there were kings who actively ordered the defense of the kingdom, but there were also kingdoms who did not.

“You don’t have to be angry with yourself.”

It is a bad idea to move because the coalition does not know what it wants.

The kings of the kingdom who thought so just kept silent and looked at their eyes.

The kings of Baybon, Devon, and Gleiman urgently held talks with each other with mana crystals.

The fact that the union is moving has already been told by the Holy Son.

‘If they declare war first, I will gather as many troops as possible. And it will be difficult, but I hope you can help me.’

At the time, he promised to do so, but when the situation came, he could not just summon soldiers.

-What do you think the kings will do?

-I’ve made a promise, so I’m thinking of gathering troops in Devon.

-As expected.

The King of Devon is famous for his faithfulness.

Since he was the one who gave back what he received, he expected the King of Baybon to do the same.

The King of Baybon asked.

-What do you think, King Greyman?

– It is impossible to refuse in the yard where the civil war has also been suppressed. The Kingdom of Bonn will also gather troops.

– Union retaliation will follow. You mean you’re still moving?

-War isn’t like that. It’s just something I had to do someday.

Gleiman was still focusing on suppressing the civil war.

Fortunately, the suppression has been suppressed to some extent, so there is a chance to take a breather.

If he said that he was willing to take a risk, it would mean that the cause could not be violated.

With the two kings coming out, it was impossible to stay still as a Baybon.

– I can’t. Beybon joins too. It’s a number far behind the Coalition, but the resistance is worth trying.

The alliance was not called a force worthy of competing with the Lessian Empire for nothing.

Dozens of small kingdoms united and invaded and robbed the kingdom through war.

Eventually, in a short period of just a few years, it hardened like a kingdom, and its momentum was difficult for even the three kingdoms in the ranks of the great powers to handle.

When they went all the way to Baybon, the King of Devon was very pleased.

-That’s a good idea. At this point, how about calling the best knights in the kingdom and training them?

-That means...

-Wouldn’t there be a harvest if the power of the three kingdoms were combined?

They laughed meaningfully while talking, but they weren’t kings who didn’t know what it meant.

The number of kingdoms that failed to stop the coalition forces and were brutally defeated increased day by day.

The next goal of the coalition, which captured Eton Kingdom and Western Kingdom Jersi in only two days, was to secure the Lofield Plains.

The point of ascending.

If Gaia Castle and Gleiman also occupy this place that leads to Baybon and Celia, the alliance can gain a significant advantage in the war.

That is why the neighboring countries surrounding the Lawfield Plain were in a state of tension every day.

The plain was quite wide.

It was so large that it could almost be compared to a huge territory, but only two villages were inhabited.

A small outpost on the Lawfield plains.

A soldier stood guard in a place where no one went in or out.

Old plate armor.

Likewise, the sword with completely missing teeth does not look like a reliable soldier.

In middle age, he was not as strong as the younger soldiers.

Nonetheless, he remained silent.

If this place is breached, the villages behind it will be swept away.

The kings and nobles, who were in a hurry to notice, did not even issue an evacuation order in case their land was stolen.

‘At least it should give people time to run away. It won’t help much, though.’

He had been through a war in the past.

A truly hellish time when human limbs fly overhead.

The famous military leader of the kingdom collapsed helplessly from the sword that flew from behind, and the wizard, who was even called the Little Sage, was captured and turned into a ruined man.

As long as they set foot there, power, prestige, wealth, and academic background were no longer important.

The reason he was able to survive in the hell of a battlefield was not so much brute force or clever wisdom, but simple momentum.

Even if you made a wrong decision, you have the strength to push through with all your might.

Thanks to that, I was able to get out of the battlefield safely and be treated as a retired soldier.

I will never go to war again.

He had lived for decades, promising himself not to set foot on the battlefield.

But the world drove him back to the battlefield.

If not, everyone will die.

The youth of the village went to the royal road to earn money, and now only the elderly and children are left in the village.

The only person who can fight is yourself.

As soon as the hand holding the sword was full of strength, it trembled.

coo-! coo-!

just as expected.

Over the horizon, the Confederate forces began to be seen pouring in.

Large horses with flags planted on the side of their saddles are rushing in, and it seems shabby to stop the herd with only one person.

This is crazy.

I wanted to run away right away, but I bit my lip and let go of my emotions.

leader of the coalition.

Among them, a man riding a horse in the back left spoke up.

“Is it any sense that there is no one to greet you after you have brought a large army? I didn’t come here to deal with a small pike. Get out of here.”

The middle-aged soldier said calmly without panic.

“This is the Dominion. It’s not a place worth bringing an army to, so you’re the ones who have to go back.”

The man laughed at the curiosity in his voice.

“As much as courage is good. what is your name?”

To his question, the middle-aged man responded by lightly tossing his well-groomed glove on the man’s chest.

Even though they were knights and soldiers, they would not be ignorant of their meaning.

Sure enough, the man’s expression was crumpled.

“What are you doing?”

“I will test you to see if you are worthy of the name. If the sword on your waist is not a decoration, show off your skills.”

The middle-aged soldier exuded momentum.

The spirit of confidence in victory was there, so the man was nervous without knowing it.
