Episode 184 Battle of Elion (3)

Julich opened the castle gate and stared at the knight who came out.

As soon as I saw him, I could tell at a glance that he had extraordinary momentum and skills.

She wasn’t using her angelic powers at all. She accepted it because of Isaac’s request, but as a swordsman and swordsman, it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to compete with the knights of Elil.

I didn’t want to waste such an opportunity with heavenly power.

Even if the opponent is a sword master.

‘Now, how are you going to please me?’

Julrich waited in anticipation to see what move Lyanna would make first. She was thinking of giving up the opportunity to attack until she let him down. But Lyanna came riding her horse in a rather strange posture. Her sword is hanging down and she looks like she is holding something in her arms.

At that moment, Julrich discovered what Lyanna was holding in her arms.

Meow.

bang. At that moment, Jülich jumped up as if being thrown away, and the horse she was riding fell flat on its seat due to her force. Julrich jumped almost as high as the castle wall and landed on the ground with a loud noise. Both Aldeon and Georg looked at her in surprise.

Lyanna approached the cat in her arms, scratching its chin. The cat purred and made a pleasant sound.

“Why does the Sword of May come this far away to play pranks?”

She smiled and spoke in a quiet voice. But Julrich could hear those words clearly.

She shot back with not even the slightest smile on her face.

“How did you know I was the Sword of May?!”

“Were you planning on hiding it? Then you should have at least shown sincerity in changing your name. Moreover, swordsmanship is the standard of the Holy Knights of the Code of Light.”

Because the conversation was whispered in a low voice, both armies could not hear well, but Isaac could hear. Isaac also unconsciously nodded his head in agreement with Lyanna’s words.

Julrich ignored Lyanna’s words and shot back.

“Bringing a cat to the battlefield!”

“I thought Julich wouldn’t hurt this poor thing. The duel opponent is not me, but this Goyang. Let’s call him ‘Meow Knight’. “Hey, okay.”

Lyanna came closer, lifting the ‘Meow Knight’ with both hands.

Julich wheezed and took a step back. She may not know what trauma was inflicted on her cat, but Lyanna seemed familiar with its weaknesses.

Or one of Elil’s angels whispered to me.

Isaac rated the possibility of angelic intervention as higher.

“Julrich, it’s a replacement!”

Either way, this war had to be resolved before it became a battle between angels. Isaac quickly mounted his horse and rode forward. Jülich seemed to have no choice, but as if he had been waiting, he flipped his body and disappeared beyond his fog.

Lyanna shouted loudly as she saw Isaac riding his horse.

“Is Aldeon just hiding behind the butts of foreign heretics? It seems that among the knights gathered under the Aldeon family, there is not a single one who is truly a knight! “Since when did Elil’s battlefield become a gambling place for mercenaries?”

***

Immediately, angry cries erupted from the Aldeon knights.

Knights came out sporadically from the Aldeon army.

“grow! “I, Dalton, commander of the Carvaner Heavy Infantry, will deal with you!”

“Hear the roar of the Hilsner Knights!”

“Aldeon Knights, Rayna Hild! “I challenge you to a duel!”

Isaac felt like screaming as he heard the yelling. Let alone the noble knights, what if even the Aldeon Knights, who should really be stopped, join in the mess?

Mors Gideon looked detached, as if he had given up.

Isaac realized that Morse’s strategy was wrong. He should have gone out on his own from the beginning.

‘… … Who would have guessed that an angel would run away because of a cat!’

But he, too, had no choice but to become detached soon.

This is the Kingdom of Elil. The strange person here is Isaac. Didn’t he also accept Mors’ strategy after realizing that this was the Kingdom of Elil?

Lyanna waved her finger as she watched the knights running out.

“There’s no need to deal with them one by one. “Come all at once.”

The knights roared with anger and rushed in at once. Even though Isaac was at the front, it was clear that this place would soon become a mess. Isaac wondered how Lyanna would deal with this joint attack, but she soon showed something unexpected.

He immediately turned around and started running towards the castle.

Seeing the sight as if they were running away, the Aldeon knights ran with even more sparks in their eyes. The honor of being the swordsman who defeated the Sword Master seemed to glimmer in their eyes.

Isaac was horrified at the sight and shouted.

“Wait a minute, you idiots! “You guys only see Lyanna and not the castle?!”

It seemed obvious. So, the knights’ logic was that they had to catch up before entering the castle. The gates of Elion Fortress were opened again. However, just before Lyanna jumped into it, she changed direction sharply and threw the cat in her arms over the castle wall. The cat jumped tens of meters above and landed safely.

Lyanna turned and ran towards the oncoming knights. Following her, the knights of the Elyon Knights came out from inside the castle all at once. Instead of panicking when they saw the knights running towards them, the knights of Aldeon’s army roared even louder.

“Elil! Elil! Elil!”

Isaac gritted his teeth and rode faster.

bang. The sounds of metal being torn apart echoed everywhere. The first thing that hit was Isaac and Lyanna’s swords. Lyanna’s tired, droopy eyes were smiling slightly.

“Isn’t that a joke too?”

bang. The cross section of the Ruaddin key, which had been heated by the cold emanating from the Lumiad, cooled to a dark color. Even if it was the same holy object, Lumiad had a higher rank.

Anyway, this is the weapon Elil used in her hand.

“Fight! Elil rules over this battlefield!”

Morse’s voice commanding loudly came from behind me. At some point, almost all of the soldiers and knights of Aldeon’s army were charging at once and clashing with Georg’s army. They were following right behind the knights who had gone ahead. As numerous soldiers collided at once, the sound of metal being torn apart by tremendous pressure erupted.

Isaac realized that Morse’s strategy had worked. Morse wanted to pull Georg’s army out of Elion Fortress. The process was messy, but it was a success anyway. Georg’s army rushed out of Elion Fortress to fight alongside Lyanna.

No, Lyanna had no choice but to accept it. The anger and resentment built up within the fortress was already at a critical level, so if Julrich had not provoked them like this, they would have rushed out first.

In the end, the board was settled and a battle broke out.

Just as everyone wanted.

Quad deud deuk!

Isaac felt a freezing pain every time the blades made contact and struck it down. Fortunately, Lyanna was able to control Lumiad’s abilities. Her coldness does not obscure her blood. In a situation where so many soldiers were engaged in a melee, the coldness of the holy sword had a high probability of increasing the damage to allies.

And it was the same with Isaac.

His deadly sword leaves a mark that looks like scratching or biting just by brushing against it. In the end, the two had no choice but to restrain themselves to an appropriate level.

Because he had to focus on holding Lyanna in place rather than slitting her throat, Isaac’s nerves naturally spread throughout the battlefield.

A dizzying melee.

So much blood that my ankles were dripping.

The Elil prayers burst out loud enough to hurt my ears.

“Give me your head!”

In the distance, Reina Hild was seen riding on a horse and stabbing Knight Georg in the neck. Someone was stabbing her in the side with a spear and she didn’t seem to notice. Her opponent’s neck seemed already broken.

“Eight, nine!”

On the other side, each time Delfrik Hild swung his hammer, the soldier’s height was lowered by one palm. In a melee like this, command is useless. The other side didn’t seem to have any intention of leading either. Their only goal was to unleash hatred and violence.

“Give me blood to wash away my brother’s dishonor!”

Bilon Georg roared and swung his spear.

The tip of the spear, swung with terrifying strength, impaled the knight’s head and a soldier below the waist. There were two spears stuck in Bilon’s torso, but he wasn’t even paying attention. As he lifted the spear, blood poured down on his head like a waterfall.

It really felt like I was taking a bath in blood.

Hymns praising the glory of Elil rang loudly.

Screams were mixed in as accompaniment to the hymn.

The screams drowned out the moans and sobs.

Further down, there was the silence of corpses.

Isaac listened to the silence that no one was listening to.

It was the sound of the approaching destruction of the Elil Kingdom.

***

The rotation, which was planned in some ways and accidental in others, did not end until the afternoon.

Morse, upon hearing a report that Georg’s cavalry was seen moving in the rear, ordered a retreat. Thanks to this, Georg won by decision, but the damage itself was equal.

‘No. In fact, it is the victory of Aldeon’s army.’

If Georg’s army had fought near the fortress, it would have been able to inflict damage on Aldeon’s army from a much more advantageous position. However, because Lyanna rushed out and a battle broke out, Georg’s army suffered more damage than expected. This could be said to be a strategic victory.

However, Isaac was doubtful whether Georg would also think that way.

“Georg, you guys fought well! “As expected, it is a masterpiece!”

Reina, lying down on a hospital bed in the barracks, waved her arms cheerfully and said. His abdomen was pierced and his internal organs were sticking out, but he survived thanks to his miraculous strength and stamina like that of a wild boar. She of course she was lucky that she was able to be because she was able to write her miracle herself. Many soldiers and knights did not enjoy such luck.

However, the patients in other hospital beds were also in similar tension to Raina. Isaac walked around the hospital beds, helping with treatment, boosting morale, and listening to the voices of the soldiers.

“Georg, they say the wolf’s teeth are sharp. It’s true. “It’s so bad that it even rips off my arm.”

A soldier who had lost his arm below his elbow spoke cheerfully.

“I only heard that he was a despicable traitor, but today I saw him and he had the courage of an Elil believer. Who would have thought he would jump out of the walls and brandish his sword! “I liked them because they seemed like crazy people.”

The knight, whose left eye and skull were ruptured and whose entire face was covered in bandages, spoke. If the tip of the knife had been sharpened just a little bit, the head would have been cut in half instead of the skull.

Isaac thought these reactions were a disguise to forget the pain and fear, but he soon felt that they were sincere.

So, I could see that similar things were happening not only here but also in the hospital beds of Elion Castle.

These warmongering fools were the type to become friends while fighting.

The words “Isaac is not a brat” were rolling around in my throat, but I barely swallowed them and focused on treatment in silence. Carlyle Seonghaepo was a great help. And although it took a bit of packaging, lies, and deception, Hesabel was also a great help in the treatment. The miracle of the Red Grail, which governs physical pleasure, was also useful in healing.

When Isaac came out of the barracks after finishing treating the patient, Ethelred approached him as if she had been waiting for him. Isaac walked with him, wondering what he thought when he saw today’s battlefield.

“What do you think, teacher? “Don’t they seem like kids who become friends while fighting?”

Isaac smiled empty-handedly at the first thing he said.

“It’s a bit awkward for me to say it myself.”

However, it is true that there were more favorable comments about Georg than before the fight. There are cases where people don’t want to admit their fears, so they praise and praise the other person, but Isaac thought it was a little different.

“I saw it and felt it today too. “What these idiots needed might not have been a place for dialogue, but an explosion to resolve the issue.”

Ethelred muttered as she looked at the front of Elion Fortress, where today’s battle took place.

“Maybe Lyanna knew that too. So they deliberately took the soldiers out of the fortress. Realize that those you are dealing with are not greedy pigs, but flesh and blood fellow believers of Elil.”

Isaac thought about Lyanna’s tired face and the words she had said. And he quickly came to a conclusion.

“no… … “I think it’s because it’s clear that if we leave them alone, they will fight among themselves.”

“… … Well, I guess that’s the most likely possibility.”
