Chapter 282

Episode 282: Retreat

The 2nd Corps of the advance guard repeatedly retreated.

Yukiel’s undead army started from the main base and gradually drove the enemies into one place.

And, it was the same for the 1st corps on the 1st prince’s side.

“Chew it to death…” … .”

The 1st Corps Commander and 1st Prince had serious expressions as they moved the undead army’s movement route and allies’ positions on the map.

“This guy is intentionally tricking me.”

“What should I do?”

“You can’t just follow his will like this. “We must join the 2nd Legion here, not in Garkan Territory, where he is leading us, but here in Daltan Territory.”

I had to join the military.

It is not difficult to get to Daltan Territory.

The road is a bit rough, but no matter how bad they are, they can’t block all the roads.

“Isn’t the important thing the 2nd Corps? “If the 2nd Corps doesn’t notice, it will be in vain if we go.”

“The 2nd Corps Commander is not an idiot. “He will know very well that if he continues like this, he will not be able to eat or porridge.”

The biggest problem was the 2nd Corps.

There is no way to communicate with the 2nd Corps.

If the 2nd Corps Commander reads the trend of the war and turns his troops to Daltan Territory, there is only one chance.

The enemy forces are strangling them, blocking only important bases like a noose.

This means that the troops are dispersed and the force is weak.

From what I experienced, the level of undead was ridiculously strong.

However, in Daltan territory, there is a wide grassland, and you have to climb the hill when they advance from an important base.

If you join forces with the 2nd Corps and break through just once, a way out will be created.

“Even if all the troops die, the prince must survive.”

“damn… … .”

“If we become hostages in this guy’s hands, the entire Elbion may have to be dragged around by his hands.”

“I’m sorry for my lack of ability… … .”

“This guy is a monster. “It’s not the prince’s lack of qualifications.”

The 1st Corps commander worked hard to comfort the 1st prince and move the army.

If you cross paths with the 2nd Corps, it will not only be a wasted effort, but a considerable amount of food will be wasted.

If they could not clear an escape route by joining forces with the 2nd Corps, they would have to engage in a defensive battle as a last resort and somehow hold out until Elbion’s main force marched out.

‘If he is, he will definitely notice.’

The 2nd Corps commander would have figured out the enemy’s intentions by calculating their past movements.

And, where to turn to find a way out.

The problem was with the stubborn second prince.

As talented as he was, his stubbornness was stronger than an iron cord.

The key is whether the 2nd Corps commander can persuade him.

“It might be your last chance. Please come there.”

* * *

Under the command of the 2nd Corps Commander, the 2nd Corps moved quickly.

The 2nd Corps Commander, who judged that the enemy’s movements were unusual, changed his planned route and headed to another location.

“this person… … . The command of the 2nd Corps belongs to me! “Do you really think you’ll be safe after this?”

I screamed as if I was struggling.

Unable to overcome his anger, he wriggled his whole body, but he could not move.

This is because the 2nd Corps commander had bound him so that he could not move.

The commander of the 2nd Corps, picking his ears as if in annoyance, shouted to his subordinates.

“What are you doing!? The prince is uncomfortable! “Block even the entrance!”

“2nd Corps… … . Eupeup!!”

The knights covered their mouths with cloth.

When the 2nd prince became quiet, the 2nd corps commander buckled the horse’s belt.

The 2nd Corps, which had marched day and night, had already entered the Daltan territory and was moving briskly toward the prairie.

And, not long after, the adjutant of the 2nd Corps shouted.

“Commander! “It’s the 1st Corps!”

The 2nd Corps commander looked into the distance.

The 1st Corps was approaching there, waving its flag.

The 2nd Corps commander slowly raised the corner of his mouth and headed straight to the 1st Corps.

“I trusted you!”

“haha! How can I be this happy! “Me too!”

The 1st and 2nd Corps commanders had a touching reunion.

Meanwhile, seeing the 2nd prince tightly tied up, the 1st prince shook his head and sighed.

“How can we try it?”

“Even if you can’t do it, you have to do it.”

“… … .”

“You have to bide your time. The opportunity is when the enemy climbs the hill. That is your last chance.”

Just one moment when you have an advantage both topographically and numerically.

This is your last chance to break through the tightening pressure.

Even if you can’t break through the enemies, it doesn’t matter.

Even if you make a lot of sacrifices, you can just ignore it and move on.

All we had to do was somehow secure the escape route and the road to Elbion.

The 1st and 2nd Corps scouted the surrounding area from the high ground and waited for the moment when the undead army would leave an important base and move to another important base.

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck-

One day I stayed up all night.

An undead army appeared.

They appear to be advancing with frost scattering.

Elbion’s 1st and 2nd corps waited with bated breath until the appropriate distance, and when the time came, they ran like crazy.

“Waaaaaa!!”

“Fight to the death! “We must break through!!”

Elbion’s army poured out with loud shouts.

The undead slowly raised their heads and looked at the multitude of magic falling from the sky.

Chuck, Chuck-

The undead responded immediately as if they were used to it.

The skeletons raised their shields and bowed, while the ghoul mages and sadiers spread their ghostly curtains to block the pouring magic.

Meanwhile, the Dullahan leading the troops raised their heads and drew their swords.

A strong presence emanated and command power went out of control.

Kwaaaaa-

Black snow fell.

The cryogenic cold spread like a storm, and the intense spirit froze the enemies.

However, for Elbion’s army, this was their last hope, so it was either death or destruction.

Hundreds of thousands of large-scale troops poured in with loud shouts.

As it was a wide grassland, a large number of troops spread out and charged.

“Punch through! The goal is not to engage the enemy! Break through or bypass it somehow!!”

The central army bought time by engaging the undead, while the left and right armies bypassed the undead and ran to the rear.

Elbion’s troops, who had safely changed positions, shouted with joy.

“All troops retreat!”

“Everyone retreat!!”

The 1st and 2nd princes, who were divided into left and right sides and bypassed the undead, ran forward like crazy and shouted.

Hundreds of thousands of troops moved in unison and fled like crazy.

However, the undead just stared blankly and did not pursue them.

“Something is strange!”

“What do you mean!?”

“The undead don’t give chase! like… … .”

It seems like he expected it.

The undead did not chase.

The 1st and 2nd Corps commanders were puzzled.

However, now was not the time to consider such things.

Somehow, I had to keep running like this and head towards the border.

“It’s already late! “This is the only way for us!”

All you have to do is go to the border.

By then, Elbion’s main force will have already arrived.

All I had to do was join the main unit and everything would be over.

“Run for your life! “You can throw away all materials except food!”

“You can live as long as you go near the border! So cheer up everyone!!”

The 1st and 2nd Corps commanders ran like crazy, comforting their soldiers.

As long as I left Daltan like this and passed through Pilon Forest, I could spend an hour.

* * *

Yukiel looked down at the map with a cold expression.

On the map were displayed the undead corps blocking important bases and the horses of the 1st and 2nd corps being cornered.

It was a time when Yukiel was quietly watching the flow of battle with his arms crossed.

“master! “They say they just escaped from Daltan!”

Yukiel raised the corner of his mouth at Butler’s report.

I expected that even if they were even slightly competent, they would head to Daltan.

That’s what drove them there in the first place.

Yukiel smiled softly and moved the horses of the 1st and 2nd corps to the Rebula territory.

“I will soon pass through the Pilon Forest and go to Lebula.”

“yes. I think so! Shall we move the troops?”

“No, tell the rest of the troops to tightly block the important bases they currently control. “You have to give hope to the rat so he can run hard.”

Everything is as intended.

They may think they have escaped the noose, but the places they must pass through in the first place have already been taken over and completely blocked.

Nevertheless, it was nothing else that gave them hope.

“Now, find your mother and howl. “So that you can fall into a trap for your baby.”

The advance team is just bait.

The thing they’re trying to catch is Elbion’s main force, which is about to go out.

If there is absolutely no hope, they may give up, but if they are isolated near the border, they will have no choice but to move.

Although it is called an advance force, it is a large army of over 700,000 to 800,000 men if you combine the troops of the 1st and 2nd corps.

Regardless of the princes, they will be sucked in as intended in order to save the troops.

Yukiel, with a slight smile, got up from his seat and headed toward Letan’s barracks.

“Welcome. “My lord!”

“How much longer will it take to absorb southern power?”

“The number of resistance fighters has already reached one million, as they have gathered together at a rapid pace. “It will probably calm down within a few days.”

“How much food to feed a million people?”

“sorry. “In fact, there is a shortage of food.”

Yukiel crossed his arms and thought deeply.

There is nothing the resistance is doing at this point.

To be honest, they are no different from insectivores who only gobble up food.

No matter how important the cause of being a ‘resistance group’ is, it is too detrimental in practical terms.

“Honestly, we don’t need you in this war.”

“… … .”

“All resistance forces should head to the southwest and block the Yata Kingdom.”

“That means… … .”

“Yes, the next one after Elbion is the Yata Kingdom. Until I clear Elbion and return, the resistance must take control of the public sentiment and power of the West. “For a clearer cause.”

Letan’s eyes sparkled.

Finally, the first command.

To be honest, the word ‘resistance’ was just a bridesmaid.

I was just a burden, following the undead army around.

Previously, there were only 350,000 troops, and since they were gathered together under the pretext of protecting Dongbuk-myeon, at first glance it seemed like they were all on the same page, but it was also true that they were fighting for each other’s interests.

However, the resistance group became one under the goal of merging Belkart and the three kingdoms to create an empire.

Also, hasn’t it already reached one million, making it a huge army?

“Jonmyeong! “I will pave the way for my master to walk in the name of the resistance without any mistakes!”

Letan immediately bowed and got down on one knee.

Yukiel patted his shoulder and nodded.

In the southwest, the forces of the King faction are established to prevent invasion by the Yata Kingdom.

Since the royal family has stepped forward, there will be a considerable amount of food stored there.

“Let’s watch the resistance’s achievements.”

“Just leave it to me!”

Yukiel nodded with a gentle smile.

He turned his back and walked away, looking into the distance.

“I’ll kill you slowly.”

I have no intention of destroying Elbion’s main force in one go.

It will open the escape route and eat away at metallurgy.

So that all of Elbion’s military power can be stretched to its limit.

Of course, then the three kingdoms would be almost nothing but shells.

In fact, our national power will be reduced to a mere ounce.

However, in the first place, Yukiel did not want the military power of the empire.

I just need the title of emperor of the empire.

“Butler.”

“four! master!”

“Tell the main force to march. “We need to apply pressure from the rear so that the rats can cry.”

“I follow your orders!”

Butler gave a brave salute.

Yukiel chuckled and stroked Butler’s head.

‘You’ve grown quite a bit.’

Butler, who achieved the third evolution, was quite tall.

A little of the youthful appearance has disappeared, and in its place has been replaced by maturity.

Of course, my breasts also showed significant growth.

I thought it would probably be quite heartbreaking once I entered the 4th evolution.

“Butler, how do you want to grow when you go through the 4th evolution?”

“Bigger breasts!!”

Yukiel nodded as if he knew that would happen.

Perhaps it was because of that strong desire that it achieved significant growth during the third evolution.

“Even so, it’s nothing compared to Treebon…” … . “Eup!”

Butler quickly covered Yukiel’s mouth.

Because I didn’t want to hear that sound.
