chapter 117
117 – 28. As a human, not a wolf (2)
As the imperial army advanced, the magic beasts also began to move.
It’s like you’ve been silent all this time, and you can’t do it anymore.
“Remember. Never be in a hurry.”
“Keep in formation so you can retreat at any time.”
There is still one unidentified Demonic Land located there.
And the commanders know that the unidentified demonic world can be the worst variable.
Therefore, he decided to leave the imperial knights in reserve and prepare for the eventuality.
should not be pushed away The Emperor is behind you.
No, regardless of whether or not there was an emperor, it was an important issue.
To avoid wasting all your time and effort.
We must destroy all of them here and close the demon realm.
ugh… .
Demonic beasts appear through the thick fog at dawn.
Just like the old guys, screaming and running unconditionally.
Or, it wasn’t like a surprise attack after crouching down.
“It is the reaction that they have been waiting for.”
“Keep an eye out for an ambush. Especially the back and sides are the most important.”
Reconnaissance teams continue to operate under orders from commanders.
Be prepared for surprise attacks or rear strikes.
In the meantime, the Imperial Army finally engaged in its first battle with the Witchbeasts.
“Kuuk!”
“Ugh!!”
They are not children, they are soldiers trained in continuous battles.
It is not under the name of the Imperial Legion for nothing.
Even those soldiers, once bumping into the monsters, spontaneously burst into moaning.
strong. Very strong. Really, damn strong.
It was said that it was a second-class monster, so I prepared my mind, but this surpassed my expectations.
As the monsters collided once more, formations began to break in places.
Broken formations quickly recover, or are divided into several and tied up.
Guys are strong. That’s why you need to take up space. It should not be able to move.
Only then will those who can be called the real main forces launch an attack.
Doo doo doo!!-
The knights charged at once and swept through the monsters once.
Due to the influence of the chakra that turns fiercely, those who are full of blue light.
Every time the blue flash passed, all sorts of wounds were engraved on the beasts’ bodies.
big!!!
Originally, the Witchbeasts should be angry and make more fuss.
Whether that anger was directed at the soldiers or the knights.
It was true that he couldn’t concentrate properly on the battle.
But these guys were different. pushes forward boldly
Even if the knights rushed in and threatened their lives.
Steadfastly charging at the soldiers, further disrupting their formation.
‘There’s something I’m aiming for.’
There’s no way the commanders don’t know that.
He probably has an ulterior motive, but he’s underestimated the Empire.
Thanks to the reinforcements arriving from all over the place, the rotation rate of the attack is ten times higher than usual.
“Those who bump into the defense line are left to the soldiers for now, and the knights cut their waists.”
Isolate the front row, push it out first, and take its place.
Then, it slowly but surely advances to the place where the Devil’s Land is.
As for the forces that can be mobilized, this side has an overwhelming advantage.
Take advantage of this and make them even more nervous, so you know what they’re going for.
“Tell it to the Lord Lichtenauer on the right wing. You can push from now on.”
“All right!”
* * *
Orders were finally passed to the right wing as well.
From now on, repulse all the demonic beasts that come in and move forward.
“Adele.”
After confirming the order, Shien immediately called Adele.
“Move freely. In a way that is comfortable for you and your colleagues.”
Even Wolfhedin and the Imperial Knights couldn’t follow that fighting style.
There is nothing good about such people moving with these soldiers. Rather, it only hinders
That’s why I told Adele that it’s okay to move as you want without restrictions.
“Thank you for your words, Sien. But it’s okay.”
The answer that came back was unexpected, meaning of refusal.
Thanks to that, Shien was rather surprised.
What Lord Derry said is still clearly in my memory.
A wild fighting style that no one in the Imperial Knights dared to match.
There was no turning back for Wolfheddin. It was all about just pushing through unconditionally.
There was a time when they complained that they were holding back the imperial knights.
However, at this place where such Wolfhedin gathered again.
It’s not that I’m sticking to the way I’ve been, I’m saying I won’t.
“Why, Adele? You have your own way. If you’re here and you get in the way… .”
“It is true that Wolfhedin’s method was like that. That was the way of the backless, the blind-eyed wolves. But, not today. Today, my colleagues and I want to fight not as wolves as before, but as men.”
“As a person… We fight.”
It’s not a fight where only they step forward and go crazy.
By moving forward with those standing next to you, filling in the empty seats and protecting the people next to you.
Adele told her colleagues to fight like that today.
“And, in fact, everyone is not feeling well.”
“ah… .”
“If we fight the old way, we won’t be able to stand each other.”
Adele herself was the only one who left Wolfhedin safely.
Other than that, everyone was seriously injured here and there, and couldn’t fight any longer.
So I just tried to leave my colleagues and permeate into the world.
“… All right, Adele. Then, take the rightmost one.”
“I will follow your orders.”
“Then, as soon as you think you need to step in, push the front line as far as you can with your teammates. The people of Lichtenauer will back you up.”
At Shien’s words, Adele looked at her unconsciously.
Apparently, she had vaguely expected that to happen.
I will try to fight like a human being, but it won’t be easy.
When the moment comes when they finally have to show their true selves, do so.
“… All right. According to Shien-sama’s order, if it is deemed necessary, I will take independent action as a wolfheddin.”
“Thank you, Adele.”
Adele bowed her head and rose from her seat.
And after looking at Shien for a moment, he slowly parted his lips.
“Just in case, something might happen while I’m gone… .”
“I understand your concern. But, am I not alone?”
Instead of Adele going to the front, Rascal and Lord Derry decided to stay by Shien’s side.
Although they are old, they are knights who can overwhelm even their youth with practical experience.
They should be able to survive long enough. You just have to finish it before a crisis strikes in the first place.
“Don’t worry about me. You just have to do what you have to do I will do what only I can do here.”
“… All right.”
Adele turned and returned to her seat.
Tension rising to the point of bursting and a slight sense of fear pervaded the soldiers.
Adele, looking at the scene, made a decision and moved on.
The hope of returning home to them once more.
And let’s give Cien another brilliant victory.
“Leader! What’s so late!”
When he returns to his seat, his colleagues stand up.
Umitama, a former member of the Wolfhedin, who rushes forward and rushes forward.
However, he injured his leg and became crippled.
Even so, since he was talking about charging, I could see how reckless he was originally.
“hey. Calm down. My legs are like that, but what kind of charge is it?”
“Still, it’s better than grandpa. Better to be lame than to be without an arm!”
“Why does this bastard keep doing this? How many times do I say that I am still in my 40s?”
Rahan gets excited when he hears the word grandpa.
Just as Umitama said, he lost one of his arms and withdrew from the front lines.
I heard that he is currently doing field work.
That’s why he came out of nowhere wearing a straw hat that didn’t suit him.
“It’s noisy, everyone. The demons are coming over there, what are you doing?”
Along with Roxanne, Noah was one of the few female members of Wolfheddin.
She hung a sword on her arm that didn’t follow well and wrapped a bandage around it.
Perhaps this was the method recommended by Brankelt, whose hand was cut off.
“I remember what you said. Stay in line and don’t run away.”
“Ah, boss! Are you really going to?”
“Can I? We all have our own ways to fight, but doing that would be too hard.”
“You still have to fight like that. We are here as people to fight.”
At Adele’s words, her colleagues let out a sigh.
However, he did not express any objection or objection.
If the captain decides the way, they follow it.
“No matter what, fighting doesn’t change.”
Roxanne, who has always acted as an adjutant, quietly opens her mouth.
“All we have to do is fight.”
Kreurreuk!!-
The demons came right in front of them.
Although the soldiers around him were tense, raising their swords and holding their shields.
None of them looked particularly nervous.
And the reason for this, I soon found out.
“Oh, damn it! Leader! Can’t we just jump out?!”
“It’s not possible. Stay seated.”
“Oh, really! I’m going to die of boredom!”
Even if he lost his hand, became a one-armed man, even if he was crippled, a wolfheddin was a wolfheddin.
In just 5 minutes after colliding with the beasts, the beasts who attacked the right wing were completely pushed back.
The cause, of course, was that Adele and his colleagues at the far end of the right wing were literally grinding monsters and narrowing the front line.
Kieeck! Keu!-
Kwajik! Fuhuk!!- Wowdeuk!!-
In a battlefield where push-and-pull battles continue.
Only the end of the right wing continues to push back the monsters.
Making them dare not even approach, let alone fight.
It forms an encirclement in an instant and kills the monsters that hit the front line from behind.
“Grandpa! If you’re out of breath, step back! I’ll even do my grandfather’s share!”
“Aren’t you falling behind this old man for being so arguing?! I’m already on my seventh!”
“omg? and. did you catch it that way? I can’t live without losing!”
What kind of people are those?
Less than 30 minutes into the battle, Adele and his comrades accomplished the madness of pushing the right line almost all the way through.
