Chapter 198 – The Return of King Cylian (03)
Rumbling…!
Most of the airships hit by the starburst were severely shocked and crashed.
Thanks to my discovery and strike in advance, there was no catastrophe due to being shot down over the capital, and the airship began to crash in the deserted outskirts of the capital.
Ssyuk…
‘Did he go back?’
When I looked around with the [Shadow Mask] Wrapped around my hand, Alice had already kicked off the huge airship after the first collision and was heading up into satellite orbit.
I wondered what I would do if I was caught in the middle of enemy lines, but Alice wisely used the huge airship as a stepping stone to increase the impact and penetrate it, and she ascended with the momentum.
‘It will take some time to come back’
The small airships hit by the starburst lost thrust and began to fall, or they were already unbalanced due to overloading the troops and flipped over, causing a catastrophe.
However, the airship, which looked like a gigantic creature, was trying to maintain propulsion even with sticky juice dripping from its belly, and as a result, it was falling, pulverizing houses in the capital instead of the empty plains on the outskirts of the capital.
Rumbling!!
A large-scale disaster reminiscent of a landslide was taking place, but fortunately, many people living in the capital had gathered in the central area where the Great Temple was located to watch the coronation ceremony of the Cylians, and thanks to this, there were no casualties.
Drurrrr!!
The number decreases quickly, but seeing as it says 1,000++, it doesn’t seem like the troops are weak enough to be killed by a single magic hit.
Kuuuuu uuuuut! Pajik!
When he hit the huge stone building and his neck was bent and broken, blood pouring out, all the people gathered in the capital were shocked by the terrible blood and demonic energy.
“Ah… That is…”
Richard, who was waiting next to me in neat clothes, the two thieves who couldn’t overcome their habit of stealing items from the guests around them, and William were also looking at the airship with surprised expressions.
No, to be exact, most of the people here were so panicked that they couldn’t breathe properly, and in fact, only a very small number of people were calm.
“Soldiers!!”
The Cylian’s voice resonates.
However, the soldiers in panic were wondering whether they should run away without hearing the sound, or stop the people who were panicking, and the Sailian continued to scream at the top of his voice.
“Soldiers!!”
Sir Andre, who eventually came to his senses, repeated Sailian’s words, and the swordsmen of the famous family heard the voice and repeated it again, and high-ranking positions such as Royalist heavy infantrymen or elite soldiers like Richard next to me heard the words.
Finally, after each and every soldier and even the bandits led by me responded, the Sailian shouted so loudly that everyone around him could hear.
“My loyal soldiers!”
“Yes! Your Majesty!!”
The voices became so unified that it gave me goosebumps.
The Sailian who heard that grinned.
“Let’s go fight, let’s go protect our families!!”
My school days were not much different from my days as a [Prince of Light] Cylian.
He drew his sword and led the way as an example, and others followed suit.
This was the king, this was the Cylian.
“Master!”
“Mix with the soldiers and guard the rear, no, guide the people!”
The soldiers formed their formation all at once and began to send the people to the rear, towards the direction of the royal palace.
And all the soldiers were glaring at the huge airship and the Duke soldiers creeping out of it with expressions that were not frightened.
“Weapons!”
For the coronation ceremony, the knights were only wearing ceremonial weapons and the soldiers were only carrying spears for inspection, but since the people fleeing to the rear were passing weapons by hand, it was soon possible to arm more than half of the soldiers. There was.
Holyo, who was preparing for the reception and party, also urgently threw away what he was doing and started to bring in weapons and deploy mercenaries, but they would rather take care of the chaos in the rear, and the first defense had to be done with the soldiers deployed here.
“I take the lead.”
“No, Your Majesty!”
Sir Andre tried to pull Sailian back while strongly blocking him, and since he could not let Sir Andre openly protest in the current situation, Sailian pulled out his sword and retreated.
The sight of the Sailian holding a shiny new sword blessed by the temple gave the soldiers confidence and faith in the king, and on behalf of the Sailian, I passed by the soldiers and took the lead.
“Are you going to be okay?”
Richard asked as he followed me into the lead, and I shrugged his shoulders and raised his arms.
“I have to run because there are no people around.”
Marian is also currently in the rear guarding Teacher Karen, so she has no one who can charge from the front, and there are only a few swordsmen from famous families.
When Inori tugged on my pants, signaling that she had arrived in the shadows, Golem No. 2 changed its back parts to a flying type and prepared to fly.
Wow!!
From the mouth of the huge airship whose stomach had burst open, the soldiers stored inside jumped out.
People who are naked and mixed together without distinction of men and women, pulling out the internal skeleton or thorns of that huge bio-type airship and holding them as weapons.
The soldiers who had already been drunk and could not be saved could be seen gathering, and the soldiers who had survived the airship crash were forming a formation.
‘Even after falling from that height, there were only a very small number of opponents who were unable to fight… If the sect had jumped from the sky above the capital as the sect had intended and was deployed, the Cylians would have been surrounded and died.’
“It is said that we will retreat back while protecting Your Majesty safely, and use our soldiers to surround the Duke forces and then melt them down, my lord.”
After hearing Inori’s message, the famous swordsmen waiting nearby were repeating the same words.
I don’t know if it was Sir Andre or someone else’s plan, but it was the standard of the standard.
It was natural to think that the communist soldiers would attack head-on anyway, but if they were just 1,000 ordinary soldiers, it would have been an extremely correct tactic.
“Ooooo!!”
Of course, they were not ordinary soldiers.
Naked soldiers who are not just slightly contaminated by demonic energy or have their reason eroded, but have already gone crazy to the point where they can be called half-demon.
‘Hmm… Even when naked, the curves of the body are appropriately shaved off… They’re so blatant.’
Of course, that would be the effect of the adult mode.
However, as the naked man and woman raised her body her among her sticky mucus her and spewed murderous energy at us, we could not feel any of her lewd thoughts of her her, and instead, her nerves made her her spines tingle.
When she raised the ‘Sword of the Highborne’ and tried to advance while leading the Highborne swordsmen, she encountered the blue eyes of a Scylian.
And then he looked back to where the Sailyan was looking, to the rear, where the people and soldiers were entangled, with so many people crowded that the soldiers’ feet were tied up.
“…Whew.”
When I suddenly sighed, Richard looked at me asking why, but I just kept my mouth shut and raised my sword as I looked at the half-demons running forward.
Thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump!
To raise the morale of the soldiers, the swordsmen of the famous family raise their swords, and the soldiers show their united will by hitting the floor with their spears.
You may wonder why this is necessary before a fight, but if you are affected by demonic energy, your spirit can quickly collapse and you can panic, so it was a very important action to instill the feeling that ‘you are not alone’ in this way.
Cooooo!
“Go, go, go, go!!”
The soldiers raise their spears as they see the half-demons starting to rush in, pouring blood and foam, and the demons appearing in earnest among them.
However, in order to counter that breakthrough power that transcended humans, the elite soldiers moved slightly forward and rushed to confront them head-on.
“I leave the vanguard to Aren!”
At Sir Andre’s shout, the soldiers standing next to me took a step back and made me the front line.
‘It’s quite a burden’
It was the most glorious, but also the most dangerous position.
Of course, since Inori is protecting you, you may be able to escape using [Shadow Ninjutsu] In a critical situation.
“Hmm.”
I thought about using a wooden sword, but from the soldiers’ perspective, a sword from a famous family seems more reliable than an old wooden sword, so I raise the sword from a famous family and send a signal to Inori so that I can take out the wooden sword with my left hand at any time.
“Smash it head on!”
“Waaaaa!!”
The moment when the famous swordsmen and elite soldiers rush forward.
Swish.
“Your Majesty!!”
While Sir André was looking at the battlefield in his suspense, Cylian jumped on the back of the knight who was blocking his path.
“Your Majesty the King!”
“Ahh!”
As he ran forward, stepping on the shoulders of the soldiers, the soldiers hurriedly threw away their spears and helped the Sailian from being stabbed, but there was no way that guy could have been stabbed to that extent.
Eventually, the Cylian catches up to my running speed and taps my shoulder.
“Good, I joined!”
“Damn you! The best commander should be in the rear!”
Haha! If I die, it’s your fault!”
As Sir Andre rushed out, the swordsmen of the famous family, who could be considered the best, especially the elite swordsmen, rushed out to follow him, and the soldiers who remained behind fell into confusion.
Cylian and I were already at the forefront, running like crazy, widening the distance from the regular soldiers, and the elite soldiers and swordsmen from the famous families were also slowly falling behind.
A named person like Sir Andre or Yujiro’s father could have followed, but I couldn’t predict that Sillian would suddenly run to the front, and on top of that, I was delayed by a bit because I was running with the troops slightly behind me , so Sillian and I ran at the front. It was in progress.
“What are you doing? Follow your Majesty!!”
“Waaaaa!!”
The soldiers begin to charge all at once.
‘With this, the people in the rear and the soldiers entangled with them will be safe…!’
Instead, it was like fighting with the king’s life as a stake.
Pow!!
“First of all, I take the lead!”
Of course, Cylian is a powerful character who has been selected as the strongest in class F since his academy days, so he won’t be defeated easily!
