Episode 275: The Resistance Army of Dongbuk-myeon
“Do your best to stop it!!”
A general shouted.
Numerous soldiers did their best to stop the enemies climbing the castle walls.
This is Siapalan, an impregnable fortress in the northeastern region.
The great nobles of Dongbuk-myeon joined forces to survive the difficult times and protect their territory and people.
Of course, it was not for Belkart that the great nobles risked their lives.
It is no exaggeration to say that Belkart, which was divided from within and even invaded by foreign powers, was virtually disintegrated.
The intention was to take advantage of these difficult times to make Dongbuk-myeon independent as a small kingdom or to belong somewhere under favorable conditions depending on future circumstances.
“What about reinforcements? Is it still far away!?”
“They say we will arrive at the main castle soon!”
Siapalan.
It is a place that must be defended.
If this place falls, a huge plain will spread out, making it difficult to block a large army.
The goal of the Northeast Alliance is to defend the fortress and force the enemy to bypass and pass through Melpad Forest to the west.
The relatively rough and narrow terrain made it an unsuitable place for a large army to move.
It was a great battlefield for a defensive position.
At a time when the Northeastern Alliance was making every effort to defend itself, Ceylon, the third prince of the Elbion Kingdom, ground his teeth.
“Damn it! Why is it taking so long!?”
“Siapalan is a fortress in the world. “It is not a place that can be easily breached even if there are many troops.”
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t we just pass by!? “What a threat such a small fortress poses!”
Once you get over that point, you will come across a wide plain.
In fact, even if you ignore it and advance, it did not pose much of a threat.
However, the corps commander who would assist the 3rd prince shook his head with a straight face.
“No army marches forward leaving the enemy behind.”
“How many troops do they say there are in such a small fortress!”
“Yes! You can’t ignore it. War isn’t just about having troops. “There must be sufficient supplies, and there must be a camp where one can rest in peace.”
“… … .”
“Even a small force can cause disruption and damage to the supply column. And, if supply is delayed and we worry about threats behind our backs, the main unit could be in danger.”
Ceylon was tearing out his hair in frustration.
I never thought that Dongbuk-myeon would join forces to resist.
Even if I gathered an army, I thought they would come over if I persuaded them that their current status and territory would be preserved.
However, I never thought he would reject the offer and try to resist until the end.
“Damn it! “If I had known this would happen, I would have gone down south!”
I regretted it.
However, that doesn’t mean we can turn the military around now.
Once you make a decision, you need to show results.
This was not just a war, but a matter that depended on the evaluation of Elbion’s successor.
“I’m going to penetrate you tonight! “Han o’clock is busy!”
* * *
Reymarpol Estate.
All troops in the northeastern region were gathered in preparation for Elbion’s large army bypassing Melpad Forest.
“Can Sia Palan hold out?”
“If that place is breached, we will be in trouble.”
The nobles could not hide their anxiety.
The current strategy assumes that the enemy gives up the siege and makes a detour.
If Siafalan falls, the resistance will face great risk.
In response to the nobles’ anxiety, Count Vallière exchanged glances with Count Iolier and continued speaking.
“It will be the same even if Sia Palan falls. “The front line must be unfolded as usual.”
“But then the territory… … .”
“There is nothing we can do! The Siaphalan Fortress is small in size, so we cannot deploy many troops. But you can’t fight enemies in the middle of nowhere when you’re outnumbered, right?”
There is an outer castle in the territory.
If you trust him and persevere, you will be able to buy time.
However, even then, once the enemy’s siege weapons and reinforcements arrive, they must be pushed back indefinitely.
In that case, it would be better to build a front line at Reymarpol, which has a geographically advantageous location.
“Damn it! Have you heard from the noble faction? “Hasn’t the pros and cons of the war situation been communicated by now?!”
Everyone remained silent as one nobleman spoke.
Unfortunately, there was no information about that place.
As a result, Letan, Count Iolier, and Count Vallière were also upset.
‘No matter what, it’s probably too much… … .’
Count Vallière closed his eyes.
No matter how you think about it, it’s like hitting a rock with an egg.
How can he take on the entire noble faction alone?
Unfortunately, he was skeptical about Yukiel’s victory.
It was a time when I was waiting for Elbion’s great army in frustration and anxiety.
Kwaaang-
The conference room door opened with such force that it seemed as if it would be smashed.
The eyes of all the great nobles of Northeastern Township turned to that place.
“Well, it’s urgent!!”
“Has Sia Palan fallen!?”
“That’s not it, the situation of Sinapilas has been reported!”
The expressions of all the nobles turned bright red.
Sinapilas is where the noble faction’s formation is located.
So, does this mean that the aristocratic faction liquidated Count Agnes?
“Are reinforcements from the noble faction coming!?”
“Well, that’s not it!”
“That’s not it! Are you saying that the large army of the noble faction won’t come!?”
In response to the nobles’ shouting, an aide looked embarrassed as if he didn’t know what to say.
At a time when everyone was looking puzzled, the soldier continued speaking with difficulty.
“The noble faction… … . “They say it was completely destroyed.”
The hearts of all the nobles in Dongbuk-myeon sank.
It’s not that they were defeated, but that many of their troops were wiped out?
At a time when everyone was looking at the staff with puzzled expressions, Letan, Count Vallière, and Count Iolier hit the table with goosebumps all over their bodies.
“Yukiel. No, Count Agnes!? What happened to him!?”
“War… … . It was an overwhelming victory for Count Agnes, and the aristocratic faction was annihilated.”
“… … !!”
Letan was thrilled.
I believed him, but in reality, the possibility was infinitely low.
I implicitly thought that no matter how good he was, he couldn’t win against the entire noble faction.
But, is it really possible to defeat a large army of the noble faction and win?
Counts Iolier and Vallière, including Letan, exchanged glances and raised the corners of their mouths.
“so! So where is Count Agnes heading!?”
“It is said that he is heading to Siapalan to stop Elvion with well over a million undead!”
Good news.
However, no one was happy.
Because I could not believe the report of the staff.
A nobleman pulled out his sword with an angry expression and pointed it at his neck.
“Yes you guy!! Does Ye look like a place for puns!?”
“No, it’s not a pun!”
“Who instigated you to make such a false report!?”
No one could be trusted.
I can’t believe the annihilation of the noble faction, but let’s say I somehow understand it.
But, didn’t he go on a campaign with over 200,000 undead?
The noble faction’s army must have easily numbered in the millions, and if he was annihilated, the undead would also suffer damage close to annihilation.
But why march with over a million undead?
If the number of troops was reduced, it would have been reduced. What does it mean to increase it by more than five times?
“Well, it’s not a lie! Currently, he has passed through the Netal domain and will soon reach the Paul Revroll domain!”
Everyone froze with expressions of shock at the staff member’s words.
Have we already reached Paul Revroll?
When everyone could not hide their embarrassment, Count Iolier quickly attacked.
“Hurry up and prepare for departure! The resistance must also head to Sia Palan!”
“What do you mean? Why do we… … .”
“You still don’t know? He defeated the noble faction. “This is not what I meant when I said the table was tilted!”
“… … ?”
“Belkart is hopeless. There is only one person who can overcome the current situation, Yukiel Agnes. “Isn’t it obvious what to do for the benefit of Dongbuk-myeon!?”
“… … !”
At Count Iolier’s words, all the nobles’ eyes widened and became lost in thought.
The powerful and large-scale force that controlled Belkart disappeared.
That means that now there is no one within Belkart who can stop him.
Maybe this is an opportunity to step into central politics.
If he could have wiped out the entire noble faction by himself, he would have a good chance of winning the war against the other three kingdoms with Belkart’s resistance army.
“We must join him before it is too late. Wouldn’t that allow the resistance group to be recognized as his support force and secure a place in future scientific and public affairs?”
Count Iolier shook the hearts of the nobles of Dongbuk-myeon.
Not to be outdone, Count Vallières also supported Count Ioliers.
In the end, it wasn’t long before all the nobles in Dongbuk-myeon agreed.
Aside from future events, it was wise to join him in order to drive out Elbion’s army right now.
All troops on the northeastern side waiting at Raymar Pol were busy moving.
Currently, the safety of Dongbuk-myeon all depended on him.
* * *
Ssssss… … .
A chilling energy spread.
Beings wearing different necklaces, such as snakes, wolves, crows, and rats, walked in groups.
And, in front of them, Etelius was with the warriors from a thousand years ago.
“Ether, I think he’s going to have a big fight.”
Etelius burst into laughter at the words of one warrior.
“You must be impatient. “I would have done the same.”
Putting your life in someone else’s hands.
This is something that you can never tolerate.
You will probably want to have the strength to protect yourself no matter what you do.
If it were me, I would definitely have done that.
“Stop! “Who are you guys!?”
A paladin blocked Etelius’s path.
The moment Etelius’ gaze landed on him, the paladin’s body exploded.
Pujik-
Blood splattered everywhere and pieces of flesh flew out.
It was at that time that the other Paladins next to the dead Paladin tried to pull out their swords all at once.
Plopping, plopping plopping-
Everything Etelius looked at exploded, with flesh flying everywhere.
“Monster, monster… … .”
The priest who was protected by the Holy Knight raised his divine power and displayed a huge divine shield.
Etelius chuckled at him, raised his hand and gently pushed it into the air.
Accordingly, the huge sacred shield was gently pushed away.
“Uh, how… … .”
“God demands one-sided faith and sacrifice. However, God always turns away when you really need it. like now.”
With those words, all the beings his gaze touched suddenly burst into pieces.
A thousand soldiers exploded all at once, and many priests and paladins were killed instantly.
Etelius pulled the horse’s reins as blood poured down like rain.
Knock again, again… … .
The horse walked step by step.
I walked, stepping on countless pieces of flesh strewn on the ground.
The warriors’ horses followed him.
Etelius raised his head towards the distance.
“It’s a sanctuary… … . “Do you think this can be prevented?”
300 years ago.
A place where the vein that maintains the Demon King’s seal and concentrates internal power is buried.
People in the world call that place ‘sanctuary’.
I don’t even know why God planted a ‘penetration stake’ there and opened a sanctuary.
“Let’s retrieve it quickly.”
Etelius snorted as he looked at the great temple in the distance.
It’s time to loosen up and unleash that power.
As a result, the Demon King will wake up from his deep sleep, and the unbalanced dimension will fall further into chaos.
“You must have been bored too. “It has been asleep for 300 years.”
Etelius opened a black space.
Eventually, an endless stream of undead appeared there.
An undead that unleashes evil power while embracing a huge and subtle divinity.
His undead consisted of numerous heroes and strongmen from the past thousand years, including the Knights of Light from a thousand years ago and even warriors from 300 years ago.
Not only that, but there were countless boss monsters at the gate, including countless ‘Destroyer’ level boss monsters, and even more than that, there were countless ‘Destroyer’ level undead.
Kwaaaaaa-
Black air currents covered the sky, and an evil power dominated the land.
The pouring undead did not end even after they far exceeded millions and even exceeded 10 million.
The undead, with their red eyes sparkling and unleashing enormous magical energy, stared at the Great Crusade.
“This is the first party in 300 years. The Great Seongjeon… … . Eat it up.”
