Episode 279: Territory Restoration
Boom, boom, boom –
The gate was shaking.
Every time Chungja struck, wood dust and dust fell from the gate.
“Don’t lose hope! “Defend till the end!”
Torn voice.
They shouted so loudly that the voices of the commander and the knights all became hoarse.
The soldiers fighting the enemy soldiers climbing on the castle walls were so exhausted that they did not even have the strength to stand upright.
Grumbling-
Flames flew before my eyes.
The enemies’ magic attacks fell on the castle walls, putting pressure on the soldiers.
Soldiers were dying one by one as enemy soldiers climbed up the walls.
The knights and commanders used all their strength to hit the enemies’ necks.
“Ha, ha, cheer up!”
“I don’t think it will be difficult any longer… … .”
“Shouldn’t we live! Hang in there. If you hold on, reinforcements will come!”
The soldier, shedding tears, gathered all the strength he had from breastfeeding once again to stand up.
The commander, who was watching this, felt heartbroken and let out a deep sigh.
‘Is this the end now…? … .’
I endured as long as I could.
Honestly, it was no longer possible.
I haven’t slept at all for several nights already.
I was already at my limit both mentally and physically.
That was when he closed his eyes tightly with a small sigh.
“Avoid! Baron Paltan!”
A knight shouts.
The commander, Baron Paltan, opened his eyes brightly.
And, a blazing fireball was flying in front of my eyes.
It was a time when I closed my eyes tightly, thinking that I was going to die in vain because of a moment of carelessness.
Shootaaaaa-
A golden protective shield surrounded the fortress.
The pouring magic and siege weapons attacks were blocked by the shield and fell.
“… … ?”
Baron Paltan tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
There was no wizard strong enough to overwhelm the fortress.
With a question, his eyes turned to the distant rear.
Thump, thump, thump-
A huge sound of drums.
Numerous troops marched to the sound of drums.
The eyes of all the soldiers in the fortress who heard the pulsing drums turned to the rear.
“Ji, reinforcements.”
“Woah, reinforcements have arrived!!”
An uncountable number of undead.
And behind it, the resistance flag of the Northeastern Union was fluttering.
Is it because I see hope in despair?
The soldiers, who looked like they were about to collapse at any moment, cheered like crazy when they saw the resistance flag.
At the moment when the soldiers were joyful and tightly grasped their weapons, bones rose up from the ground and skewered countless enemy soldiers outside the fortress.
“Click-ah-ah-”
“Gagging, gagging!”
Countless bones protruded from the soldiers’ groins and into their mouths.
Screams and screams were rampant, and many enemies fell to their deaths.
At that time, when the soldiers of the fortress were frozen with their mouths wide open, tens of thousands of gigantic skeletons appeared in the sky.
The soldiers were speechless as they looked up at the numerous skeletons that blocked the warm sunlight and were stained with darkness.
And the red rays that poured out from tens of thousands of skulls annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemy armies and turned the land into a wasteland.
“Three, oh my… … .”
“Oh God… … .”
There was no time to scream.
Pieces of flesh that instantly turned into pieces of meat were scattered everywhere.
And, at the forefront of the undead, Yukiel rode his skeletal horse, approached step by step, and looked at the soldiers on the castle wall.
“Good work. So, now watch. “Absolute power.”
Yukiel snapped his fingers.
The Dark Mages flying through the sky on Little Wyverns unleashed their magic all at once.
A huge black spear filled the sky and poured down like rain.
Kwakwang, boom boom boom-
The ground was dug up and a huge hole was created.
Hundreds and thousands of holes were opened like pockmarks, massacring the troops on the ground.
Yukiel moved step by step across the land where bone fragments and flesh had fallen, showing the presence of the Absolute.
The Northeastern Noble Association swallowed their saliva as they watched Yukiel steadily leading the way.
“oh my god… … .”
“He is the Demon King.”
I think I understand why the noble faction was wiped out.
When I actually saw it with my own eyes, it was fear itself.
Over a million undead haven’t done anything yet.
Hundreds of thousands of troops died all at once with just a few uses of magic.
“The king… … .”
It was a king.
His very existence is already a king.
Does it have a magical power that guides the heart?
When I saw his inaction, I wanted to become his subordinate somehow.
I wanted to become a subject of the kingdom he ruled.
At a time when the resistance coalition in the northeastern region was in awe of Yukiel, Yukiel saw people running away with the rear troops from afar.
“It must be those guys.”
I have no intention of catching it.
If you advance anyway, you are bound to encounter it.
Now is the time to warn Elbion.
Yukiel activated magic by snapping his fingers.
A black air current gathered high in the sky and soon took the shape of Yukiel.
『Elbion’s military commander, listen. I will punish you for invading this kingdom of Elbion. So, convey my will to the king. Do everything you can to stop me.』
With those words, Yukiel snapped his fingers once again.
The magic sphere in his arms shot up into the sky and headed towards the fleeing enemies.
He was a magic sphere filled with Yukiel’s intentions, and also a warning to be sent to the King of Elbion.
With that, Yukiel swept away Elbion’s remaining troops.
“Resent. “I will accept it.”
With those words, the undead army began to advance and wipe out the enemy soldiers.
The soldiers on the castle wall who were watching this scene could not even shout.
Feeling fear before the absolute power, they naturally knelt down and bowed their heads.
Yukiel moved step by step across the ground covered in blood and flesh in absolute awe.
From now on, it was time to drive out the forces of Elbion that invaded the kingdom and conquer Elbion.
“Now, let’s prepare for the start of another war.”
* * *
Thump, thump, thump-
Accompanied by the sound of huge drums, a large number of undead advanced and wiped out the enemies in front of them.
To the skeleton that had gone through the fourth evolution, the soldiers were nothing more than toys.
They committed massacre by pressing down with overwhelming prowess.
“What is the current situation?”
“The 2nd Army completely blocked the Kalkan Gorge and the route around Tarya, and the 3rd Army blocked all roads into the Narbes Plain. And District 4… … .”
A long report.
Yukiel divided the army into a total of four.
Group 2 with Merphis and Halford and Group 3 with Darkin and Tribon.
The 4th Army, including Ramdel, one of the leaders of the Dark Knight, and Godric, as well as many minions.
And finally, the First Army, which is the main force that includes the Resistance and two other Dark Knight leaders, Delta and Dark Mage.
The reason for dividing the army was not to destroy each individual.
Rather, it is to block the retreat route and lead the enemy to a complete strike.
“Did the 2nd and 3rd groups already proceed like that? Then the main unit will have to move quickly.”
Yukiel controlled the military while receiving reports pouring in.
Because the resistance group had complete control over the military, the flow of the military was as smooth as water.
“Kwaaaa!!”
“Save me… … .”
The enemies died with countless screams.
Meanwhile, Hurubel Falcon, a close associate of the second prince, had goosebumps all over his body and was sweating profusely.
“Monster, monster… … .”
The conquest went smoothly.
Although there was competition with the 1st prince, they took control of the territory without difficulty.
Sensing that the kingdom was in ruin, many nobles surrendered and entered the country without blood, while the southern allied forces that resisted were busy retreating, recording consecutive defeats.
The military’s morale was sky-high, and it seemed like the conquest would end smoothly.
However, disaster struck suddenly.
‘How can I defeat that monster…’ … .’
It is truly a monster.
There are hundreds of thousands of skeletons that can easily deal with even knights.
Including the troops in front of us as well as the undead army coming from all directions, the number is over a million.
The number of undead that even knights can easily deal with is as many as one million.
It was such a monster that even the higher-ranking Unde could not even dare.
“I can’t win, I can’t win… … .”
He looked around and checked the escape route.
Even if we lost all our troops, we had to survive somehow.
It was a time when he was busy checking the situation of the battle and reining in his horse.
“The commander has no sense of responsibility.”
Creepy voice.
He immediately turned his head.
However, as my gaze returned, my neck fell down.
Dark Knight Delta wiped away the blood from his sword and wiped out all the knights and remnants together with the Dark Knights under his command.
Yukiel walked on the skeletal horse across the land that had been transformed into a sea of blood and mountain, and turned his gaze to his surroundings.
“It’s going smoothly.”
Finding the stolen territory was easy.
They massacred the advancing enemies, and the enemies were busy running away.
And, as the army continued to advance, the strength of the resistance swelled like a snowball.
“Please let me serve you as my lord!”
“Please take us away!!”
Many nobles bowed their heads and made earnest requests.
Before we know it, the size of the resistance group exceeds 700,000.
The rumor about Yukiel’s saga and the restoration of territory quickly spread to all the people of Dongbuk-myeon and Dongnam-myeon.
In addition, the southern nobles, who saw the amazing feat, volunteered to lead their entire army and join the resistance.
“I have no intention of treason.”
“The country has already been ruined, so how can you call it treason!”
“If I restore it, that’s it.”
“All the nobles in the South are pledging allegiance to Agnes, and countless people want to enter Agnes’s fold! “Please look into the public sentiment.”
Yukiel, who became annoyed, roughly waved his hand and walked away.
‘Tsk, that’s annoying… … .’
Things are getting bigger.
Even if you don’t accept them, the outside world’s perspective is completely different.
He has already become someone who receives absolute support from the entire northeastern and southern regions.
There is no need to say anything more since a huge force is gathering under the name of ‘resistance’.
“Oh my gosh… … .”
I had to refuse from the beginning and move on separately.
Now there is no reason to separate them.
At least because they have the justification of supporting the royal family, they can pretend not to know their oath of loyalty.
However, since his external appearance was already seen as their leader, he could not remain ignorant forever.
It was at that time that Yukiel held his pounding head with a small sigh.
The royal flag was waving in the distance and a messenger was running like crazy.
“It’s the king’s name! Count Agnes, obey the king’s orders!!”
All of the resistance nobles glared at the messenger and put their hands on their swords.
It was obviously a ploy to keep Yukiel, who was rapidly rising, in check.
In an ominous atmosphere, the messenger quickly approached Yukiel and spread a message.
“Count Agnes, listen! “The kingdom was endangered by civil war and foreign invasions.”
“… … .”
“In appreciation of your feat and strength, I grant you a special mission. Join forces with the soldiers of Dongbuk-myeon to drive out Elbion’s invading army and go on to conquer Elbion! I recognize your feats and merits, recognize the entire kingdom of Elbion as your fief, and recognize you as the king of Elbion. “This is the king’s command, so be sure to follow it!”
Yukiel’s eyebrows furrowed.
The resistance fighter’s eyes widened.
With a conflicting expression on his face, the messenger swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the ground that had turned into a sea of blood.
“what? “Is this your Majesty’s teaching?”
“yes! Boo, it’s definitely true!”
Yukiel snatched up the school paper with eyes of disbelief.
As he read the contents written in the school paper, his expression crumpled as he saw the king’s optimism stamped on it.
“Why is this person like this again?”
It got difficult.
If this happens, the justification for ‘rebellion’ will disappear.
Rather, it is appropriate to receive the king’s command to conquer Elbion and receive its fief.
Yukiel looked at the resistance nobles with an embarrassed expression.
Everyone was smiling brightly with round eyes.
The noble association of the resistance group, who received Yukiel’s gaze, all knelt down and bowed their heads.
“Please obey the king’s command! “Master!”
The resistance commanders shouted in unison.
At the same time, over 700,000 troops knelt down in unison and let out loud shouts.
“Please obey the king’s command!”
The shouts of countless soldiers became an echo and reverberated throughout the space.
Yukiel felt dizzy when he heard that.
“I’m going to turn. really.”
