Chapter 221 – Escape From the Palace

“Did anything happen last night?”

Way to the conference room.
I met a human staff member by chance.

“Yes.
Surprisingly nothing happened.”

Reporting to the demons seems very awkward.

“Sir Angela?”

“You returned from reconnaissance.
You are in the conference room now.”

“Okay. Thanks for your effort.”

Click. Awesome…

Angela and Duke Dupre arrived in the meeting room first.
Angela, still standing with a sullen face.

“Are you here, lord?”

Bow respectfully.

“How have you been?
Did nothing happen?”

“As a result of reconnaissance, small skirmishes were confirmed behind enemy lines.
Clashes between some Templars and some Catherine’s nobility resulted in a number of casualties.
In addition, mercenaries and vagrants out of control plunder private houses, and the city is in chaos.”

“There must be a reason for the delayed attack.”

“Yes. Catherine’s reputation was repeatedly tarnished by that incident.
Since Alberic is absent and Sir Devot is on our side, it seems that the Catherine’s Royal Knights are also confused.”

The Royal Knights who have to hold the center of various forces.
The absence of a named-level general is a major problem.
Not serious to enemies.
Well, very good for us!

“The officers and officers were divided into two sides, but Catherine said that she was not good at military affairs.
The Templar Knights Commander-in-Chief Raynald and Elven Sniper Belondel, who made up for this, died at your hands.
They’re at a loss from the Royal Knights, who need to control the Temple Knights and Noble Knights right now. “

Duke Dupre is there.

“At the hands of the master, Count Mido also died.
It seems that the army under his command has disintegrated and joined the band of outcasts.”

“What about Alberic?”

“It hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Even if you start alone and run at full speed, it takes a long time.
If it was the Humpback Whale Fortress, it would have endured even more in the castle.
If it hasn’t come yet, it should be enough to get you out.”

Is it really so?

“The enemy is good at deception.
Both the attack on the saintess and the terrorist attack on the cathedral were unpredictable.
You have to be vigilant and get out.”

“There is nothing wrong with being intimidated by an invisible threat.
I’ve prepared my safety device, so don’t worry.”

“A safety device?”

“Hey, can I lend you an ear?”

Huh?
Can’t you just say
Is there any reason Angela shouldn’t listen?

Little by little.

“!!!”

Unbelievable.

“Also. You’re amazing.
That’s why the attack stopped.”

There was a reason Angela couldn’t listen.

“Then.
They touched Anne first.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Just let you know.”

“How about this?”

Whisper.

“!!”

“In case you didn’t know, you’re preparing another trump card.”

“You… !!”

“We are going to do it when Alberic comes right away.”

“She is my daughter.”

“‘The family is more important than the individual’.
That’s what the Duke said.”

“…”

“You know what I’m worried about?”

“… I don’t review your words enough.
I will alert my men.”

“Thank you.”

It’s not a normal bet.
I’m glad he’s not the king.
… Is not it?
I know that the previous king noticed the biological experiment behind the scenes.
The same goes for high priest Philip, and there’s no one easy enough.

“Get a flare here.
I’ll prepare it for my contingency, and when it explodes, I’ll execute it.
I wish I had nothing to write about.”

“So do i.”

Duke Dupre clears his throat for no reason.

“Kuhm!
Sir Angela, I’m sorry.
It’s because it’s top secret.”

“Don’t worry.
It is enough if the lord knows.”

“Is it?”

“Black does not judge.”

“Okay.”

Finally, after saying that, the command staff rushed in.

“Okay, let’s start the meeting.”

* * *

“Come on, let’s hit it. Preparation!”

Southeast of the palace.
I was in charge of Count Abu Bakr’s sabotage unit.
Stab the enemy

“Captain, will you be okay without us?”

“Okay.
Jacques. You should open this letter when I fire a signal flare here.
To act as instructed.
Don’t open it until you fire the signal flare, and return it when you escape.”

“Yes.”

“Ludvik.
You remain in the central palace and devote yourself to defense with Devot.
Marie will be there too.
Please take good care of me.”

“Don’t you look at big breasts before going out?”

“… I want to see you, but I don’t have time.
Go once
You take this.”

“It’s a letter for me too.”

“If you are in danger, do what is written in this letter.
If you don’t use it, return it after escaping.”

“Yes.
Good luck, chief.”

Count Abu Bakr lined up in front of the selected soldiers.
The advance party was exactly 50 people.
All of them are sharp people.
It’s been a while since I’ve played the 50th manager.
Soldiers in light armor and helmets, with small half-blades and swords, and small crossbows.
Motivation is important.

“Everyone knows the map, right?
Good.
Stirring is the goal.
Don’t get caught and make a fuss.
We will fight on the border between the Templar Knights and the Order of Nobility.
It will slip through the boundary between the two groups.
The rear units are dispatched sequentially.”

Nene’s 7th corps and Van Dark’s 3rd corps are approaching the northwest of Amity’s castle.
The northern side of the northern palace is blocked by a mountain, and there are good sneaking paths.
That’s where people will get out.
In the meantime, it draws attention from the southeast.
The distillery unit will be roaming around in the southwest as well.

“Let’s go.”

Papababak!

Open the gate to the palace, pass through the barricade, and find an enemy guard post remodeled into a private house.

“Left blue roof, 2nd floor!”

Shushiung!

The soldier in the back shoots a crossbow,

“Keugh!”

Courage!

A vigilant enemy soldier falls through the window.

“What, what?!”

“The Templars?!”

“Oh no!
Enemies!”

“It’s an enemy raid!”

“Enemies have popped out!”

We might have noticed with a bucket that we, who were only defending ourselves, had come out.
However, the enemy’s command system is divided.
You have to shove it all over the place and keep it out of your mind.

“Ice Missile!”

Rarely do you encounter an enemy mage,

“Concealment!”

Kwak! Tuck!

Hiding in a building to avoid

“Catapult!”

Shushiung! Oops!

“Cheuk!”

You have to attack
Since it was an urban battle in the first place, obstacles to concealment and cover were widespread.
Even along the main street, parts of the building are scattered here and there due to the riots of the Nubakane and the clash between the Catherine faction and the Stella faction.

“Right, behind the burnt building!”

“Aren’t there any losers?
Each Ten Commander, report.”

“No problem. There are no vacancies.”

“No problem. There are no vacancies.”

“Follow me closely.
Speed up.”

All infantry.
There are no cavalrymen, no magicians, no priests.
It’s hard when an injured soldier comes out.
You have to plan your route well.
Unlike the map, it bypasses places where buildings are collapsing or where enemy troops are concentrated.

Dada dot!!

“Three o’clock, sniper!”

“I’m coming.”

Blink.

Shush! Awesome!

“Cheak!”

I extend Master’s dagger and cut him from behind.

“11:00, guard post.”

“Back at 2 o’clock.
Take care of 3rd and 4th.
Secure the retreat.”

“Guards, two!
Three crossbowmen in the back!”

“Article 4, detour.
1 advance.
I cover you with magic!”

If possible, select only single-digit troops and arrange them while facing each other.
He stabbed the Knights of the Temple at the center and shouted ‘Long live Marquis John’ a few times, and I was very happy.
Huhu, kill each other from now on.

At this rate, the palace staff must be getting out of here.
Then, slowly take the retreat and make a big turn to get out.
I was thinking like this while I was hitting and falling.

“The Sealing Sword of Light.”

Tsukwa kwa kwak!!

“Keuuugh!”

“What?!”

Several swords of light that fell from the sky pierced the soldiers.
A miracle that makes you incapacitated rather than dead.

“Take cover!”

Each teenager hides in an alley.
Three friendly soldiers tied up in the middle of the road.
You took me hostage as if you were watching.

Bubbly.

“There are a lot of uninvited guests today, yes.”

A man with short brown hair and a large scar across his left eye.
On the armor of his chest, there is a sword Kanzaru drawn inside the sun pattern.
Two black cloaked swordsmen lined up beside them, wearing bizarre iron masks.
Those iron masks and black cloaks are the Law Guards.
Then?

I had a hunch.

“… Lieutenant General Dismas.”

“Good reasoning.
Yes it is me
The iron mask is impressive, isn’t it?”

You must have seen it before hiding in the alley.

“I’m the originator of the iron mask.”

“I will freeze to death.”

Oops! Pak!

“Keuheouk!!”

He fires a crossbow at a friendly soldier.

“Now, this guy is dying.
You have to come out to save me.
Or, do you not care about dying as a human because you are a demon?”

Damn it
An army that digs into weaknesses.
The only people who were mentally controlled were Count Abu Bakr and his son Thomas Abu Bakr.
The elite soldiers under Count Ibubakr were not hypnotized, so they had to be agitated.
Not only that, but what if rumors spread to other human soldiers?
Who will burn the fighting spirit?

“Article 2.
When I signal, take them and run all the way to the other side of the alley.”

“Yes.”

But the enemy doesn’t give you a chance to think.

“I will count to three.
If they don’t come out, I’ll kill them one by one.”

“Team 1, cover.
Shoot the crossbow as soon as I get out.”

“Yes.”

“Three!”

“Article 3, time difference.
Those black cloaks, be careful.”

“Yes.”

“Two!”

“Go out to one.”

“One!”

Papabak!!

Kick the ground

Shu Shushuong!!

Arrows flying past my sides.
The target is Dismas, the Lieutenant General of the Knights Templar, and two of the Law Guards.

“The protection of the sun.”

Taetaeng! Tang!

I knew it would be like this.
There’s no way the paladin’s defense is lax.
Doesn’t care.
I wasn’t aiming for surprise either.

Pooh!

Arrows fly from Dismas’ crossbow.
To the soldier captured by the light-sealing sword.

“Bout!”

Kang!

An instantaneous shield that unfolds.
Master’s one-time magic accessories are all exhausted.
I can’t help but block it with my magic.

Dada dot!

At the same speed as it runs, it cuts with its body weight.
The target is that huge light-sealing sword.

Boom!

The moment you stomp, you increase the weight with your superficial muscles,

Thud!

The moment the sword touches, it cuts off as it hardens its body with emery.

It is the swordsmanship version of ‘Shooting a Shooting Star’, Death Blow.

Wow!!

Hitting it with strong physical force, the sword of light shattered.

Once more!

This time, the run-up section is short.
But enough.

Jjoong!

Break one more

Wow!

Break the last one
A stationary object does not have such destructive technology.

“Join 2!”

One protruding tena ligament takes three soldiers,

Shu Shushuong!

Group 1 covered with a crossbow.

“Catch!”

The Law Guards and Dismas attack, but the 3rd team, who followed me with a time difference, blocks it.
The rest joined later.

OK, now if you push… !

“That’s cheeky.”

Dismas’ right arm swells,

Booung!

Roughly wields a single-edged axe.

“Don’t block, dodge!”

Late.

Awesome!

The soldier who tried to block it with the knife couldn’t scream once and was cut in two along with the knife.
No, the upper body was ripped off.

Are your arms swollen?
Moreover, that right hand was dyed a disgusting black color.
Like… Like that of a tentacle monster.

“You said you were the one who killed the Knight Commander?”

“Retreat!”

The soldiers disperse on the promised escape route.
My long combat experience speaks for itself.
That bastard is abnormal.

“Chase.”

It follows me exactly.
Round and round, lure it back.
While I keep my eye on you, let’s get the troops down.

“The Sealing Sword of Light!”

Shush!

A large sword of light comes flying, and I roll on the ground to avoid it.
It’s not a target skill like Marianne’s ‘action stop’.
Non-target skill.
It’s not magic, so Dispel doesn’t work, and it’s hard to solve it myself if I get hit.
It’s difficult to be alone.
Best to avoid!”

“Haste!!”

Dada dot!!

Three people chasing after me.

Good.
If you run a little longer and get away with it…

It was then.

Whoo-, whoo-!

An absurdly loud flapping of wings.
The wind that blows your hair.
It feels like a giant is sending out huge debts?
A shadow that covers me and the pursuers at the same time.
What?

“Hey, iron mask.
It’s been a while.”

“!!”

Coo kung!

A familiar face jumped out of the air.
The holy sword that stood in my way, Daylight.

“Alberic!!”

“Did you take a prisoner and run away?
It’s okay this time, you bastard!”

How did this bastard come back already?
The only dimension wizard is Stella?
It would take two more days even if I rode a horse from Cheonghaejin to here… !

Crow, roll, roll, roll!!!

A deafening roar.

A red dragon covered the sky.

“Prepare to die.”

Right.
He rode a dragon and flew.
Advance quickly without siege weapons from the beginning.
The fortress is captured with a magical weapon called ‘Dynamite’.
Summon a dragon there with the number of people prepared in advance.
With riches and captives from Humpback Whale Fortress, there must have been plenty of sacrifices!
And all the way to the quick return on the dragon.
Wicked bastard.
He wasn’t just good at fighting.
The villain was living more fiercely than he thought.
