Chapter 124 – Chapter 124 D-Day the Crossroads of the Game

The alumni gate opened with smoke.

“Signal! All alumni, advance forward!”

The soldiers moved along with the signal from the imperial faction nobles.

There was no one to stop the imperial soldiers from rushing to the east gate.
The alumni are already commanded by the Marquis of Mangreb.

“Everyone, put down your weapons!”

At his command his, most of the soldiers laid down their weapons.
Soldiers who have lost the will to fight and gates open.
The imperial army passed through the east gate safely without sacrificing.

“As expected, the Marquis of Mangreb, I believed you.”
“Let’s go to the castle quickly.”

Upon encountering the Marquis of Mangreb, they entered the castle with pretentious smiles typical of nobles.
Everything went smoothly

Wow!

Even when shouts came from the north and south at the same time.

“What are you talking about?”
“The noble army is coming. After rearranging the troops, blocking them and advancing will solve the problem.”
“Haha! You’re saying something obvious!”

The emperor’s aristocrats led their forces and scrambled to deal with the enemies coming from the north and south.

I thought I would definitely win.
Because the army of the imperial faction was so numerous and powerful.
But what the heck
What is this?

“Aagh!”
“What, what?”
“It is a monster! It’s a monster!”

The war situation was not dire.
The emperor’s soldiers, who were supposed to push back the aristocratic forces by number, were being pushed back little by little.
Why?
Mangreb led his soldiers to support them.
And he figured it out too late.
An old man and a woman at the head of an aristocratic army coming from the north and south.

Sebastian and Lilith.
They were the ones Maurice placed to block the imperial army from entering with Mangreb.
Although they have lost the power of the transcendental body, they are strong enough to dare to compete with the Master.
They cut down the enemies while standing in the lead.

“Um, what the hell is that? Didn’t the Masters already go outside?”

The enemies at the forefront were the first to see the Marquis of Mangreb.

“Mangreb! Did you trick us?”

The imperial faction nobles blushed.

“No! I would have opened it to see what profit it would have!”
“Profit! Order!”

The knights of the emperor’s army spread out in squares.
With 100 Knights, you can compete with the Master on equal footing.
Okay.
If it’s an ordinary master.

***

“What’s the fuss?”

I mumbled pretending not to know what I heard from afar.
It started
The imperial army’s attack.

“I don’t know.”

Solarion let go of his pretense.

“Duke, do you know me as an idiot?”
“Whoops.”
“Did you join hands with Mangreb?”
“Sorry, there are no rules in war. We just use everything to win.”

Crossing our sights, we drew our weapons at the same time.
I cast mana.
Duke Solarion unleashed his swordsmanship.

“Are you guys going to ignore the pact!”
“How dare you say this place!”
“Where do the bastards who arbitrarily detained His Majesty claim to be good!”

Everyone present drew their weapons.

Sullen life went back and forth inside the tent.

“Hmm.”

I waved my hands.
A gust of wind blew the tent high into the sky.
The surrounding area was clearly visible.

The emperor’s army advancing toward the east gate.
Using that as a signal, the imperial troops charged regardless of the south gate or the west gate.
Numerous troops rushed towards our party.

“You’re playing a dirty trick, Solarion.”
“It’s shameful, choose your words well. That’s smart Don’t you know that the enemy within is more terrifying than the enemy outside?”

Duke Solarion shouted triumphantly.
Sword spirit soared from his sword.

“Regret your complacency and die.”

My gaze was not on Solarion, but on the Imperial Army, which was swarming in the distance.
It is still far away.
To reach the target point.

“It’s complacency…”

I silently watched Solarion.

“I don’t think you’re talking about violating the agreement.”

My face remained unconcerned despite the numerous troops rushing in.

“Is this okay?”

Musk grabbed the weapon.
Emir and Seria also gave strength to their bodies.

“Sure. So don’t worry either.”

I put my hands on Seria and Emir’s shoulders.

Whoops.

The white light that rose from my fingertips calmed the two trembling with anxiety.

“Emir Solarion must be captured alive. You can kill the others.”
“All right.”

Six sword masters walked with their swords drawn.

I spoke in a low voice that only my friends could hear.

“From now on, we will fight and retreat backwards. Make it look like we’re losing.”
“Production… What?”
“Yes, directing. Let them have fun pressuring us.”
“All right.”

And.
The battle between masters has begun.
Musk’s sword cut through the ground, and Solarion’s cut through the air.
A storm broke out due to the impact of the Master’s energy colliding with each other.

“Die!”

Lightning struck in one cry.

It was an out-and-out battle.
The terrain changed every time swords collided with each other.

This was a real battle between masters.

Me?
While assisting Seria and Emir against Master.

Bang! Kwakwawang!

“How dare you look away from us!”
“I can finally kill you today.”

I faced 3 sword masters.

“You guys can beat me in this place full of mana?”

I twisted my fingers and twisted the Sword Master’s sword that was about to stab me in the chest.

The second time, he struck a lightning bolt to block the sword path of the other Master preparing for a series attack.

For the third time, it overturned the ground and destroyed the center of the third master.

It was all thanks to the new circle created by Seria.
If not, it would have been more difficult than this.

Not all of them were opponents that could be stopped only with such tricks.

“We just need to stop you.”

I could see it in my eyes too.
The imperial troops breaking through the east gate.

“Do you really think you guys won?”
“You are arrogant to the end! Maurice!”
“Do you really think you can defeat us without the help of the mage tower!”

Swords were fired simultaneously from three directions.
I hurriedly opened the barrier.

Kwaaang!

“Keugh!”

With an explosion, the 3 Masters flew high into the sky.
In an instant, mana was cut off centering on me.

A raging storm of mana.
I didn’t know this.
It was a crack smaller than a fingernail, but it was a crack caused by the flow of mana being cut off.

I, too, was not fully recovered from the shock.

“Cool!”

Blood flowed from her mouth.
The damage caused by the impact caused by the instantaneous collision of mana is accumulated.

“Wow!”
Visor! Visor! Bang!

It was noisy as if a full-scale battle was taking place inside the castle.
I checked the situation again.
The imperial army climbed the walls using siege towers, rams, and ladders.
The East Gate had already been breached and a battle was taking place.
Except where I stand.

Even ordinary soldiers were not stupid enough to dare to intervene in a duel between masters.

‘This is enough.’

I raised my hand and set off a spark.

Peeing-.
Pop!
Yellow fireworks exploded in the sky.

“What did you do?”

The Masters who fought with me narrowed their brows.

“Do you guys have any reason to know that? You must be busy fighting me.”

I twitched and cast the spell again.

“How arrogant is a wizard who has been hurt by the circle…”

The sword master who had been spitting out swallowed his saliva.

This time, a total of 1024 magic missiles floated in the air from my hand.
My long-term magic.
It was a magic missile.

“What did you just say? I couldn’t hear you because I was deaf.”
“Damn it.”

The Master held up his sword to block the magic missile that fired faster than bullets.

“Don’t be careless!!”

I raised my hand and made a huge net.
The net I made wrapped around the master’s sword.

The sword path was twisted and the sword was stuck in the wrong place.

It was then.

“Cheuk!”

Duke Solarion thrusts his sword into Musk’s abdomen.

“Master!”
“Morris!”

Seria and Emir safely evacuated inside the walls.

“Maurice Demetrius!”

It was the moment when Duke Solarion raised his sword and attacked me.

Woo woo woo ——.

With the sound of a horn.
Above the hills, a group of cavalry appeared.

‘You came on time.’

Duke Solarion turned his head at the sudden sound.

“Hey, what is this…”

Where do these troops come from?
Northern?
They haven’t been contacted.
Why are the soldiers who are supposed to protect the North here?
I focused my eyes and saw the cavalry on the hill.

“This can’t be like this. It can’t be like this.”

Solarion couldn’t believe what he saw.

“Why are the northern barbarians! You are in the land of the Empire!”

His eyes his turned to Maurice.
It was clear who the culprit was.
A person who can turn a situation on the defensive by attracting barbarians.
The only one who has contact with the northern barbarians by receiving a barbarian woman as a gift.

“Maurice Dmitry! Do you know what you have done! How dare you bring barbarians into the sacred lands of the Empire!”

Duke Solarion’s eyes were bloodshot red.
He glared at me with the veins standing on his neck.

“As the Duke said earlier, there are no rules in war. I also used everything to win.”

What expression did Solarion make earlier?
I smiled leisurely, just like Solarion did at that time.

“Duke, just like you.”
“You fucking bastard!”

Blood flowed from her clenched fists.
But Solarion knows.
If he gets excited here and crashes into Maurice, the war will be devastating.
I have to somehow find reason and find a way to destroy it.

‘The hammer and anvil strategy.’
The tactic Morris is aiming for now is simple.
Drive the imperial army into the huge anvil of the castle and strike it down with the hardest and fiercest hammer called the savage cavalry.
The Imperial Army, which leaned forward, could not properly defend its rear and would be swept away by the enemy.

The cavalry from the north charged on horseback.

Wow!

The sound sounded like a funeral ode announcing defeat to Solarion.

“Retreat… Retreat Prepare your troops and retreat.”
“Hey, Duke?”
“Did you not hear me! They said everyone was retreating!”
“But now we’ve almost won.”
“Idiots!”

Duke Solarion gritted his teeth.

“Duke, it looks like you misunderstood something.”
“What?”
“When did I say I would let you go?”

Duke for the first time.
He was terrified by the look in people’s eyes.

‘This me… I, Solarion… She said she was scared?’

Nonsense.
It can’t be.

It must be an illusion.

Temporary delirium caused by momentary circumstances.

However.

“You can never leave this place without my permission.”

Duke Solarion saw Maurice smiling at him.

Took a step back
