Chapter 418 – Retreat

Chapter 418 Retreat

“Take this and attack the castle right now.”

“Yes?
Gee, right now?”

“Okay.
Destroy the East Gate.”

Alberic held out dynamite to his believing men.

‘Iron Mask receives a system message whenever I summon a weapon from the original world.
This is the weapon I summoned before.
I won’t have the message, so I use that to catch me off guard!’

“Come on, let’s go!
It’s a quick attack, a quick attack!”

Alberic did not wait until all the dragons were revived.
After all, it was imprinted with the technique I learned from Philip.

‘I hit it directly.’

***

Did they say that the most difficult thing on the battlefield is to escape safely?
In the fight against Philip, if he had retreated to lure, this time he really had to retreat.
It was obviously a very difficult and difficult job.

First of all, the evacuation of non-combatants, including civilians.

“One bundle per person!
No more slow than that!
Throw away!
Not even cattle!
Hey there!
No bullock cart!
I don’t have time to pack the movers now!
Come out!
Come out quickly!
They will be eaten alive by humans!!”

In addition to the civilians who don’t listen, there are civilians fighting while stealing next door, soldiers from the Demon King’s Army plundering the house, and even human soldiers taking care of lost items.
It was also a matter of control.

Fuhuaaaaa!

Karamit accompanied the special judges to remove the dangerous elements along the road to the west gate.

Tsutsutsutsu… !

Kubydov is crouching near the fortress and receiving intensive recovery from war priests and nuns.

“It’s here!
You monsters!”

“Keruk, Kiruk, Karuk!”
“Give me a try, try to save me!”

The tentacles on the retreat route were attracted by the griffon riders and began to gather near the south where Marquis John was creating the ice bridge.

Tup!

“Ugh, whoops!”

Kwajik!

Foolish!
Fast!
Chomp!

Amongst the unlucky pilots were dragged by tentacles and chewed up, or occasionally crushed by jumping monsters.

“Okay, now the main unit is going to escape…”

Before the words are finished.

Aaaaa!

Kururureung… !!

A roar from the east.

“What, what?!”

“Inspiration!
The alumni gate has been breached!”

“!!!
How… Ah!”

Dynamite.
A magical weapon from the original world brought by the hero.
Caught off guard!

“Hurry to escape!”

“Scram!
Quickly!!”

“What about the prisoners?”

“How many?
Can I take you?”

“… Well over 30,000.”

“… Remove it.”

“Yes.”

Hooked! Awesome! Tsugak! Fu-wook! Awesome!

“Kkeuk… !”

“Cheuk… !”

Dump… ! Dump! Dump! Dump!

Chambang.

The blood is pooling and the floor is turning to mud.
I’m glad I don’t have Marie with me right now…

“Open the gates!”

Rumbling… !

The western gates open, and Stella forces, including Count Abu Bakr, open the road first.
Most of the tentacle monsters were lured away by the Royal Griffon Riders, but a few monsters remained.

Kwajik!

“Ah!”

“Fireball!”

“This is the last Molotov cocktail.
Throw well!”

Huong- Perong!

Roaring!

Kieh-!

“Break through, break through!”

It is hard work to get through the muddy road.

Fuck!

Hee-hee-!

The wagon wheels fell into the mud and the horses’ hooves were broken.

“Inspiration, supplies… ?”

Roaring!

Burn
Instead of handing it over to the enemy, throw it into the fire.

The rest of the troops hurriedly escaped, and remained behind to command the front line.

“… For a moment.
What about Master?
What about Stella?
What about Anne?
Why don’t you go
Has anyone seen it?!”

***

Kukkoom!

“Hey, it’s been a while.”

Alberic breaks through the door and enters.

“You are still stern.”

Anne, sitting on the chair next to Nene’s bed, opened her mouth indifferently.
In fact, her hands gathered on her lap were sweaty and trembling slightly.

“Mumm?
Haha.
Even breaking the door is embarrassing~
Can you show me what real motherhood is?
Seeing this, our relationship seems to be very strong.”

“Sir Devot, how is it?”

“Oh, you mean that bear cub out there?”

“…”

Tumble, Tumble.

“Don’t come any closer.”

“Nope?”

Tumble, Tumble.

“Mmm, stop!”

The knights of the Royal Guard ran after hearing the commotion.

“Sir Devot, Sir Devot… !”

“Cool, kuck…
We have to stop him… !”

Devot barely points at Alberic, coughing up blood.

“Yes, you bastard, Alberic!
Stop!”

Stop.

“It stopped. What?”

“Get away from the princess!”

“Nope?”

Sreung!

“Back off!”

“Hoo.”

Tboob.

Alberic walks back to the door.

Startle… !

When Alberic takes a step, the guards take two steps back.

“Cheeky things.
Who dares to block the way?”

“””!!!”””

Intimidation.
None of the guardsmen could cross the threshold.

“Please stay there and watch.
Hey, sick princess.
I’m sorry.
This is the second time.”

“…”

Tumble, Tumble.

Alberic is coming.
Ann secretly holds the magic spell book hidden in the sleeve of her dress.
I haven’t decided yet whether to tear this up or not.
Moment of crisis.
Nene, entrusted by Kamyu, was lingering in his eyes, and he was still conflicted.

‘Camyu-nim asked for Nene-nim…
How do you like this…
Hello, should I write this order form?
Or not… Do I have to sacrifice myself once more to protect Nene?’

The moment the trembling hands finally stopped.

“Stop it.”

Sweep.

“!!!”

Alberic, who had been walking towards Ann without hesitation, stood nailed as if he had seen a ghost as soon as he turned his head.
A middle-aged woman with dark chestnut brown hair, wearing a light green dress.
Her thin curly hair was like Stella’s, and her calm expression like Anne’s.
Of course.
Because she is the mother of both of them.

“Grace… !”

“Long time no see.”

Took.

The tip of the Angelic Alliance, the celestial sword that Alberic was holding, fell to the ground powerlessly.

“Grace, I really missed you…”

“Me too.”

Bruise, bruise.

Thump, thump… Wow!

Grace, who came out of the doorway, and Alberic, who walked to the doorway, hugged each other as if they were breaking apart.

Tada da dot… !

“What are you guys doing right now?!”

“Oh! Majesty!”

Stella, who had come running to take care of Anne and Nene, froze at the sight.
Ann, too, had a dark face with dark circles, and she silently captured that figure in her eyes.

“Very very… I missed you.
Alberic, you…”

“Grace…”

With a sword in one hand, Alberic embraced Grace as if it were a treasure more precious than anything else.

“Oh my God!”

A scream escaped Stella’s mouth.

“Oh Mama, that person is the one who killed Obama!”

“Know.”

“But why… !”

“My husband’s autopsy, I did not agree.”

“!!!
Mama!
How, how could you?!”

Stella cries.
Anne closed her eyes tightly.
Grace quietly closed her eyes and shook her head as she hugged Alberic.

“I’m sorry dad, but… Something that has already happened.
I couldn’t lose this.”

“It’s selfish!
Immoral!
A mother is a person, a wife is a person!
The country’s queen!
In the arms of a traitor and husband-slayer!”

Stella’s fingers were like her blades.

“… If you want to curse, curse as much as you want.
I did what I could for myself.
I couldn’t lose everything…”

“Is that why you sold your daughters?!
What about your sister?!
What about me?!”

Stella’s scream.

“I’m sorry…”

Grace’s excuse.

“Whoa…”

Anne’s sigh.

“Now you… I hate to call you mama!
You look like a shameless person!”

As Stella cried out in her tears, Alberic raised his sword with one hand and aimed it at him.

“That… !”

“Alberic.”

Grace hugged him and lowered his sword arm.

“Please let the children go.”

“But… !”

“I will stay with you. Forever.”

Seeing the sorrowful eyes of the woman he loved, Alberic was conflicted.

“It’s great… !
Okay.”

“Great.”

“But!”

Chuck!

The one he pointed with the point of his sword was,

“It’s not enough for that bitch with a hole in her chest.
It hurts.”

It was Nene lying on the bed.

“It’s not even your daughter, does it matter?”

“… Yes.”

Shush!

In an instant, Stella teleported from the doorway to Nene and Anne.
This level of magic is possible even without Valkyrie armor.
Mana barely squeezed out.

“Dispel magic.”

Unleash Alberic’s magic.
The target magic is Teleport.
Stella, who was definitely holding Anne and Nene’s wrists, thought that she would immediately teleport away.
However, Stella was also sexually harassed by Camus all the time, and realized that her obvious timing and obvious spells were blocked by Dispel.

“Dimension door.”

Gee-ing!

A portal instead of teleportation.
Fight back instead of flee.
The chandelier from the ceiling fell through the portal overhead.

Whoo-!

“”!!”

Kwaaang!

“Keugh, the residual tricks… !”

Shoo-!

At such a close range, it is easy to escape through the portal and be caught by Alberic, who has good agility.
Block the dispel with a counterattack, and make sure to escape with teleportation while hesitating.
There is a trick.

“Now that this has happened, let’s pursue… !”

“Stop it.
Because today is your day and mine.”

“… Right.
Hey, fuck you guys
I’ll see you today
To get my treasure back.”

“””…”””

The guardsmen cautiously walked away from the visit.
To keep them apart, Alberic and Grace didn’t know how to separate.

***

Kyaaaaagh!

Tuhwaaaaa

A prismatic dragon transformed into white form.
An ulterior motive to oppose Angela’s freezing magic.

“Keugh, haaaaap!”

As the white dragons flew up in succession and tried to bite Angela wearing the Valkyrie armor, she was busy avoiding them.

“Roiling fire!”

Roaring!

Rumika wields a whip of fire that curves at an odd angle.

He flies to help Angela, but the prismatic dragon quickly transforms into red form and fights against the fire.

Big la la la la rock!

The Blue Dragon even mobilized Black Wyverns for reconnaissance, and the Air Force bitten and dangled, while Adolf’s archers and crossbowmen fired arrows to resist.
It’s hard to win, of course.

Chara La Rock!

“Visibility Distortion!”

The Green Dragon and the Silver Dragon were separated by Van Dark after a fight.

“Javelin!”

Wedge liquid!

Fortunately, thanks to the javelins of the giant soldiers who moved up the hill first, everyone managed to reach the dry land of the western hill.

“Hey, heck!”

“There is no time to rest!
Everyone, move to the rear camp!”

From then on, the hellish race began.

“Breath, avoid!”

Tuhwaaaaa

Day and night, chased by the dragon, he ran and ran again.
It seems that even the soldiers who were in charge of manning the battle with Philip’s army and were successful in escaping were struggling this time.

“Hey, heck!”

“Wake up, come on!”

Chara la la rock!

“Oh, fuck.
Little lizards, aren’t you sleeping?!”

Don’t sleep
Because it was submerged.

One good thing is that there is no pursuit by enemy ground forces.
The tentacle monster couldn’t identify Pia and couldn’t easily cross the river because it was blocked by the monsters that Angela had lured.
But it wasn’t long before that even resumed.

“Camyu-nim, get some rest.
My body isn’t coming back at all.
You can’t go into battle without magic.”

There was no time to rest even with Marie’s words.
It seemed that without my mind-type magic, I would soon be annihilated by the dragon’s pursuit.
According to Van Dark’s tips, he managed to escape by inciting a fight between dragons, and it was a situation where he escaped again.

“Marie, you should rest too.
You can’t even wear Valkyrie armor because you don’t have enough magic right now.”

“Am I the only one having a hard time right now?
No one is wearing it…
I will do my best too!”

Running and running all day long, retreating until the next afternoon.
With no enemy ground forces, the civilians sent some troops in the other direction and we retreated to the northwest.

“Old man, a small castle that can be entered just past that hill… Oh!”

The castle was devastated by enemy dragons that ran ahead of them.
In response to our strategy, the enemy scattered dragons and destroyed reliable regional bases in advance.

“Then let’s turn this way.”

And.

Doo doo doo doo!!

“Hey, there’s dirt in the back!”

“Enemy ground forces are pursuing!”

Going crazy.
Died a lot

“Are you Alberic?!”

“No!
Another flag!”

Van Dark pulled the reins and stopped.

“I’m coming.”

“Hey!”

“It’s the cavalry.
Go shock me, I’ll come back.
Even run
Come on, who am I!”

“””Man Hunter, Van Dark!!”””

“With me, is there no one who can pierce the back of the enemies?!”

“””Let’s drill! Let’s drill! Let’s drill! Let’s break through!”””

“Kill the woman, rape the man!”

The flathorn cavalry, led by Van Dark, hid under the ridge of the hill, carrying long flails.

Doo doo doo doo— coo kwang!

Then wait for enemies to climb up the hill, then go down the hill to shock.
The speed is high, and the weight of the heavily armed cavalry is heavy.

“Quaaaaagh!”

“I am the male hunter Van Dark!”

“Ha, surrender!”

“You fool!
Suicide rather than surrender!
You’re not going to be a man!”

“Eh, run away!”

The enemies didn’t think there would be a counterattack, so they ran in disorder and took a big hit.

“Whoa, you kicked me out once.”

“… Why are you so strong?”

“I know.
I should have been deputy commander.
Jeop, to be pushed out of the promotion because of bloodline.”

“Is it a skill difference?
Didn’t you rise to the rank of First Officer because your major was great?”

“Shut up.
Hey, which way are you going?”

There are two paths in front of you.
A wide road in the plains.
A narrow road that rides along the mountain ridge.

“I want to take the main road, but there are mountains on both sides, so I’m afraid there will be an ambush.”

To my concern, Van Dark couldn’t shave, so I answered by touching his pockmarked chin.

“It would have been difficult to get ahead of us.
How about we just keep going?”

It was then.

Purrrr!

“A flock of birds has risen.
There must be an ambush along the main road.
Go the small road.”

“Yes, go ahead.
I’ll ambush you here, this time with Balak in the back.
It looks like the time has come for the dragon to launch again, so be careful.”

“If it’s a small road, it’s okay because it will be hidden by trees and you won’t be able to see it.
I go first.”

“You do that, second-in-command.
Take good care of Master.”

“Then. Of course.”

Put the people who need to be evacuated first.

“Sick Princess, cheer up.
Hold tight.”

“Am I just riding?
I’m sorry I seem to be holding you back…”

“No, not at all.”

With Anne and her master on the back of my Royal Griffon, I walk up beside it.
After hearing about his daughter’s deviation, the Duke of DuPré said that he would remain in the middle position with an older look for 10 years.
Ann has also had a bad look on her face since then, which worries her.

“Master, we just have to get over here.”

“Thank you, Angie.
It gives me strength.”

“You’re welcome.
It’s said that I don’t have enough magic power, but I have to ride a griffon and take charge of the air…
I have no face.”

“Do not do that.
You need time to catch your breath, and you are my Guardian Knight.
We take turns retreating, but you don’t have to feel sorry for going first.”

Stella, along with Duke Dupre, and Rumika remained in the middle in preparation for the dragon attack.
Angela and Marie left by my side.
He led the court ladies-in-waiting and non-combatants who had evacuated first with a small force and departed first.

Jerk, jerk.

“Come on, let’s do our best!”

Fuck!

My group hypnosis reacts at once in one shot.
Non-combatants who desperately walk with their remaining strength.
After changing jobs, hypnosis became easier.
Both Marie and Angela seemed to think so at this level of hypnosis.

“Lord. If there had been an ambush here, it would have been a disaster.
The thicket has grown to the left and right, and the road has become narrow.”

“Oh, yes.
Haha!
They say Marquis John is good at strategy, but he’s not even that good!
If we had an ambush here, we would have been in real trouble~
In case you don’t know, I’ll come and see you.”

“No.
Even though the body has become smaller, how…
I will go.”

The moment Angela takes a step forward.

Chaaaaagh

“””?!?!”””

Nets stretched across the sky.

“Annit?!”

Chuck!

Kagagak!

Even if I cut it with the famous sword Nene♡Camyu, it was very tough because it was a net with iron thread, and my small body lacked strength.
Angela’s phantom rapier was weak against nets because it was a stabbing sword.
In an instant, Griffon and I, who picked up Angela, Marie, Anne and Nene, were caught in the net.

“It’s an ambush!”

“Be alert on all sides!”

“Back to back!”

The moment the escorts recruited from the Stella army looked around.

Rustle.

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!

“””!!!”””

Enemies popped up from all sides.
Those without shouts or footsteps.
A frighteningly silent ambush.
A black cloak with a grotesque mask.
Each one is at least centurion level or higher.

“The Guardian of the Law… !”

Oh, it’s embarrassing.
There was a real ambush.

And who leads them.

“Long time no see.”

A nun with an eyepatch walks silently from the front.

“Agnès… !”
