00899 All That Glitters Is Not Gold, Three. ————————————————– ———————-=
The Southern Continent camp was scattered due to the sudden summons of the Obelo Knights. I thought I would only have to deal with one guy, but suddenly my subordinate knights appeared and stabbed me like an awl, leaving me confused.
Some tried their best to keep their ranks together, but the power of the Knights of Obello was truly enormous. As one hundred people gathered together and charged at the same time with great swords, the southern continent’s users were pierced and trampled without even a single resistance.
The Knights of Obello, who broke through the rear in a straight line, immediately turned around and started attacking again. Eldora was struggling and shouting, but the camp was already falling into chaos and collapsing.
The knights, numbering only 100, are sweeping through the enemy lines, numbering nearly 20,000. No matter how surprising it was, I couldn’t help but say that it was truly incredible.
Yes, as my brother said, it was an opportunity. Actually, I didn’t expect it to get this far, but isn’t this a level beyond the pale? Even at a glance, I can’t come to my senses, so if I attack them at this time, I’m sure they can cause enormous damage.
thud!
The moment I finished thinking, a pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky.
When I looked to the side to see what was happening again, a pale light was flowing through Geunwon’s entire body.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Next, an unusual vibration sound is heard.
– Connecting… . Normal output 24.75%… . Maximum output 51.24%… . Accept.
Geunwon no longer spoke in a hard mechanical sound, but in a loud, resonant voice.
– Connection completed. As of this time, I summon the ancient magic city of Magia in the name of the Source.
At the same time, various types of magic begin to emerge from the body where the light was flowing. One, two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two… . Jin, whose spirit exceeds dozens, if not hundreds, slowly stops circling and settles down neatly so that they do not overlap each other.
After a while, the jinns that filled the air began to emit colorful lights. The vibrations transmitted through the air make me tremble, as if magic is about to be unleashed at any moment.
Soon, the source that was slowly rising into the air suddenly looked back at me. A silent look as if asking permission for something.
The moment I met those eyes,
“All nearby affiliates go to the castle gate!”
I reflexively shouted and ran down the castle wall. Then, there were shouts coming from all directions, and soon I felt a swarming presence behind me. Everyone besides me was feeling it. This situation created by Ansol, this moment, is a golden opportunity.
It may be a bit sudden, but the best stage has been created ahead of the final battle that may be the end.
So, as they went down to the wall and gathered at the gate, the heavens and the earth suddenly began to shake. The thunder of the Thunder God activated by my brother hit my eardrums, and the dizzying sound of arrows, like the heat of a fire or a shower of rain, felt like a huge headache.
However, there was no time to check everything one by one, so I took out the communication crystal and ran to the castle gate, shouting.
“The moment the castle gate opens, shooting near the castle walls is absolutely prohibited!”
“As soon as we collide from the front, we can focus our fire on the rear as much as possible, and when the breakthrough is completed and the enemy line collapses, we can immediately block the escape route!”
After about five minutes had passed, all classes except archers, wizards, and priests seemed to have gathered in front of the castle gate.
I almost wanted to form a formation for each clan, but I don’t think it would be a bad idea to just mix things up like this. You don’t know how long this situation will last, and if the opponent is confused, it is a good strategy to attack them randomly.
Above all, users of the Northern Continent are much more accustomed to melee battles that rely on individual abilities rather than battles like the Knights of Obello.
After a while, the flashes and explosion sounds that seemed to continue continuously gradually subsided.
“We will open the gate!”
At the same time, three or four users ran and pulled the gate open with all their might.
My heart is pounding as I look at the gate opening slowly, little by little. At that moment, I reflexively looked back.
“… … .”
Behind me, the clan members who followed me first were holding their breath with nervous eyes. Go Yeon-ju, Nam Da-eun, Ahn Hyeon, Lee Yu-jeong, Cha So-rim, Shin Jae-ryong… .
Kwiik, boom!
As I made eye contact with each person, the sound of the glottis being completely opened hit my ears.
I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it again without realizing it. I didn’t really have anything to say, so what do I need to say now?
just,
“let’s go.”
With this one word, I unsheath my sword and lead the way through the wide open castle gate.
Waaaaaaa!
As soon as I heard a roar that made my ears ring, the wilderness below the castle finally came into view.
We only came down from the top of the castle wall, but the outside scenery had changed significantly during that time. Should we say that a disaster, or rather, a catastrophe on the scale of a natural disaster swept over us?
There are hundreds of corpses immediately visible. Bodies, burnt black or with arrows stuck like hedgehogs, were spread all over the ground, and blood leaking from various places was flowing onto the ground, forming a canal. As the distance gets closer, a foul smell mixed with burnt and bloody stings your nose.
“Aww, wow!” “They are the North Continent bastards! The Northern Continent guys have come out!”
And the southern continent users who waved their hands and turned their backs as soon as they saw us.
The already chaotic ranks become even more chaotic.
At that time, a man suddenly caught my eye. You were bragging earlier that you would rip your brother to death… . Oh, is it Akirov? He is staggering as if he was under the influence of the concentrated fire that had occurred earlier.
It just worked out well. If you’re one of the Knights of the Round Table, it’s worth killing yourself.
“Inooooooooom!”
Akirov must have been so angry that he looked in the direction we were coming from and roared in anger. Then he drew his sword with his blood-stained hand and came face to face with it. Red-hot flames furiously engulf the back of the sword, and quickly attack, aiming at the tip of the sword.
He must have been seriously injured, but I wanted to praise him for his strength. However, since he uses fire as his main force, unfortunately, he was not my opponent.
As he was running, he used Flame Eye, the second power of Hwajung, to extinguish the flames on his sword, and Akirov stopped walking with a surprised look on his face. If it was a mistake, it was a mistake.
In a split-second, I took advantage of the opportunity and occupied the rear with Lee Hyeong-hwan, and pushed the sword straight into the exposed nape of the neck.
“Wow!”
As the tip of the knife pierced the uvula, a single sigh broke out. He shook his hand hard and kicked his back, causing Akirov to fall out with his tongue hanging out. In the meantime, he stretched out his trembling arm as if he wanted to live, but I slashed the back of his hand with a knife and kicked him in the face with my foot as hard as I could.
puck!
After smashing its head, only then did it stop moving. My body convulsed violently once and then fell limp. It was a very meaningless and meaningless death for Akirov, the ‘Knight of Fierce Fire’ who rose to fame in one episode.
However, this was not the first episode, but this episode. Of course, I benefited from the situation.
As I took a breath and looked away, I saw the enemies gaping among the allies who were attacking them like angry animals. I think he was quite surprised when the knight of the round table he trusted died without even making a sound.
Anyway, I thought I had to deal with it quickly, so I set the sword at an angle and bent my knees.
It was that moment.
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo!
– S, Sovereign?
Suddenly, the sound of thunder rings in my ears, and the enemies in front of me are pierced by red, rusty greatswords and scatter.
The shadows that appeared with mournful cries were none other than Knight Commander Obelo and his knights.
I don’t know why, but he stopped charging in front of me,
-Sovereign? Sovereign!
Let out a roar of rage.
no. It wasn’t just the voice. The hand holding the great sword was trembling, and inside the helmet, an evil eye glow was burning like a volcano about to explode. The hostility that can be felt is no different from the attitude of having met Marshal Cheolcheon.
Even the knights behind me were all spewing murderous energy, making my nerves tense and my skin tingle.
-Cur! Exiguæ dereliquit nos!
A dark and dull voice. But it was so loud that I could hear it clearly. Of course, I don’t know what you mean. It was just that I felt a certain sense of politeness but also a deep sense of sadness.
Why are you so hostile towards me in the first place? .
“ah.”
Come to think of it, it seems like the origin told us never to meet.
By the time I realized it, it was already too late. Not only the knight leader, but all the knights were aiming their greatswords at me.
Damn, that was a mistake. I was so focused on getting out quickly that I forgot the source’s warning.
– Sovereignnnnnnnnnnnnn!
… Will we have to fight in the end?
I held the hilt of my sword as if it were crumbling as I looked at the leader of the knights, Obelo, who had just stepped forward. It was then.
– Hooh, articulorum colonia! Diu nulli videre!
Suddenly, Hwajeong’s voice rang in my head.
‘Hwajeong?’
– Noisy! Follow along quickly!
‘Huh?’
– Follow me! You idiot! hurry!
“Ho, oh. articulorum, colonia? Diu, nulli, videre? (Ho, you’re the leader of the knights. It’s been a while.)”
The momentum of Hwajeong was so strong that I ended up imitating it without realizing it.
– fool! What should I do if my tone of voice is like that? Speak a little arrogantly!
‘I don’t even know what I’m talking about, so how… .’
The moment I raised my gaze and protested against the unfair feeling, power suddenly entered my eyes. The knights who looked like they were going to rush in just a moment ago stopped moving. The hostility is still there, but I would say it’s in a state where it’s just staring at me.
– Keep following along. Est inligatas oneribus pignus… . This is a bit faint.
I have no idea how to say it vaguely, but let’s just follow along for now.
“Est inligatas oneribus pignus…” .(Are we still bound by the covenant….)”
– Culpa tua est! (It’s your fault!)
huh? Why are you reacting so strongly?
– Cur, quid tu lost in ohbel! Nos ohgiman te! (Why, why did you abandon Obello? We hope you come back!)
They even open their mouths first and spew out words that feel like resentment.
Err, I don’t know. It looks like he’s trying to start a conversation, but it would be better to just follow along quietly first.
“I don’t have anything to say. But it is definitely not as much as what was thrown away. “I also had a situation.”
– e****lation? Circumstances?
“Of course I won’t make any excuses. “If you want to talk with your sword, I will be happy to accept it.”
– … … .
After those words, there was silence for a moment.
Suddenly this situation felt funny. It must be the middle of the battlefield, but the area where I and the Knights of Obello are is particularly quiet.
At that time, the knight commander slowly lowered his great sword.
– You’re still the same… .
what. Why does my voice suddenly become faint?
– Well, the monarch has always been like that. With the body, not the mouth, with the sword, not with words.
“Do you still remember what you said back then?”
– Because I respected and respected him that much. A hero among heroes and a supreme being that cannot be reached. We, the Knights of Obello, have always kept our loyalty to you in our hearts. So please tell me. Why did you abandon the Knights of Obello? Even if the kingdom was destroyed, if the monarch had returned, we would have sacrificed our lives to follow him.
“That’s not difficult. But isn’t the situation a bit different now?”
As Hwajeong continues to spit out what she says, the knight leader slowly looks around. In the distant light, Heo Jun-young is staring at me blankly as he plunges his sword into his enemy. I too am dying to know what I am talking about.
– Uhm. surely… .
“In order to feel good about old times, let’s first join hands and deal with the enemy together. “I think it’s enough to have a conversation after that.”
– but!
“request. “We need your strength.”
Here, Hwajeong told me to bow my head very slightly, and I bowed my head in a daze. Then something strange happened.
– Boo, please? Oh, Lord of the Sword! Ugh, why do you bow down to people like us!
The leader of the knights, who had been trying to survive just a moment ago, jumped up. Moreover, he even waved his helmet around as if he was very embarrassed. Am I mistaken if I feel like I’m completely at a loss?
– Well, the Lord of Swords asks a favor… ?
– That too to our leader… ?
Ooooooooooooo!
A chorus of exclamations from the knights follows. In fact, it sounded like a curse because it was closer to a harsh noise, but the problem was the attitude of the knight commander.
– Big, big! what… . If it’s the monarch’s request… . All right.
For some reason, he scratched the surface of his helmet and turned around as if he was embarrassed. And when they raise their great swords with a strong cheer, the knights raise their great swords in the same way and respond with cheers.
I finally couldn’t hold back and asked. What on earth did I say that made me do that?
– huh? iced coffee. I didn’t say anything. I just said let’s clear up this battlefield and talk after it’s over.
‘But why is the reaction like that?’
– That’s natural. Oh, don’t you know how influential the Lord of Swords was?
‘?’
– lets think. The person you’ve always envied asks you a favor while bowing your head, so of course you won’t shrug it off, right? Of course I hate you, but I also have great respect for you.
‘… … .’
