Sword Master Who Leapt Through Time - Chapter 35

#35 Escape

Usually, Roberland’s tactics against demons were centered around experts and elite warriors.

Against the demons who all display incredible strength, experts and elite warriors are the first to break the momentum.

Experts could strengthen their bodies and weapons with the power of aura, and elite warriors who were aura users could use aura to gain incredible strength, although they could not strengthen their weapons.

A group of Rockwoos are rushing in? Then send in your Experts first to kill their momentum, then send in your Elite Warriors to take them down, and then have your regular Warriors stick to them and deal with them.

The armored wolves are coming? Then send in your experts to stir things up first, then send in your elite warriors to sweep them away, and then have your regular warriors stick around to finish them off.

That’s usually how it was.

But I put the experts behind and sent a heavily armed force consisting of only elite warriors and common warriors ahead… … so they are unfamiliar and afraid.

Everyone must be half in doubt.

Will this work? If it doesn’t, will we all just die?

It works.

Because we trained them to do that.

But what if it doesn’t work that one time in a thousand?

Well, then I can kill them all by myself. About 300 Rockwoos.

“Shield guard, lower your stance! Lock-woo raises his head from below and receives it. If you don’t want to be blown away, lower your stance!”

“Rockwoo’s horns are as sharp as blades! Hide well behind your shield! Otherwise, your face will become pretty!”

“Jang Chang-su, angle your spears well! If you don’t put your spears in, all the squad leaders will die!”

“Don’t be afraid! I’m behind you!”

Experts who were in charge of command stood between the ranks and encouraged the soldiers.

Doo doo doo doo doo-!

The Rockwoo group approached within 300 meters.

At Rockwoo’s speed, it would take 7 seconds to cover the distance.

Even though they are still incredibly fast, they usually accelerate rapidly from 100 meters ahead, and then hit you at a whopping speed of over 300 kilometers per hour right before impact.

So, now is the time.

“Archers! Prepare to fire!”

Kiriririk!

The 800 archers who had been deployed behind me pulled their bows at the same time.

“Aim 150 meters ahead… … Shoot!”

Wheaaaaaaaaa!

A rain of arrows poured down on the heads of the group of Rockwoos who charged forward without hesitation.

That’s not just any arrow.

My first weapon to deal with the onslaught of those relentless monsters.

Imperial Bow.

It is also called Black Bow.

It was considered the best bow in the world because it was small, light, and transmitted power well.

Maximum range: 400m.

Effective range: 150m.

Even excellent accuracy.

My archers are all armed with these black bows.

Of course, the empire strictly controlled the export of the Black Palace, but it was not a problem at all.

If you cast ‘Exchange for Ancient Weapons’, there is nothing in the world that you cannot obtain.

The 800 black bows shot out wind at the same time.

Wheeeeeeee!!!

The relatively short arrow characteristic of the Black Bow, also known as the Black Shiga, flew with a deafening sound and dug into the flesh of the deer ox.

Kkieeee-!

A dozen or so Rockwoos rolled on the ground with a creepy scream.

Because their hide was so tough and strong, most of them were able to run without any problems even after being hit by arrows.

‘But I did steal the acceleration timing once.’

To them, I gave them my second weapon, the javelin.

“Throw the javelin!”

Hood thud!

About a thousand heavy spears flew at once, striking the faces of the Rockwoo group.

Kkeueeeee!!!

This time, about 30 of them fall.

With his tenacious vitality, he charges forward without dying even with spears stuck all over his body.

But more important than the number of knocked down was the fact that the falling Rockwoos disrupted the charge of the Rockwoo group.

Some rockers jumped over the rockers that were collapsing in front of them,

Another rock was unable to avoid it and stumbled.

Another rockwoo steps aside and turns… …

Not only did the speed slow down, but the large, densely packed formations began to disperse.

At the last moment, the Rockwoo group not only lost the timing to explosively accelerate, but also had a low density.

What we prepared for them is,

A long, strong spear!

The Jangchangsu’s men aimed more accurately at the scattered Rockwoo groups and took them down.

“Jangchang! Hold on!”

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The Rockwoos came running and struck him with their spears.

Under the fierce momentum, the poles of the Tang-tree spears, which had excellent elasticity and strength, were bent round. Some were even broken.

Despite having their shields buried in the ground and their spears placed on top of them to secure them in place, the spearmen were pushed back with their shields intact.

But thanks to that, the momentum of the Lockwoo group was clearly broken.

Enough for elite warriors to hold their own.

“Shield!!!”

“Urgh!”

Kkwaaaaang!

Finally, the Rockwoomuri clashed with the Shieldmen.

As expected of a demon, they boasted absurd strength, but as they were continuously defeated by arrows, javelins, and long spears, they could never overcome the wall of shields erected by the elite warriors.

Kagak! Kagak!

The sharp horns, like blades, rubbed against the kite shield, spraying a sharp metallic sound.

“and!”

“This works?!”

“It’s possible!”

A cheer went up among the warriors.

If you say that 300 Rockwoos are charging, then even intermediate-level expert warriors must be prepared to suffer injuries.

The onslaught of such a monster was blocked by only elite warriors and common warriors, so one cannot help but exclaim in admiration.

I’m excited too.

Now it was time to beat up the group of Rockwoos whose charge had been stopped.

This seems more exciting than cutting it myself.

“1st and 2nd Squadrons! Hold your ground! 3rd and 4th Squadrons! Turn left and right and surround and destroy! Archers! Fire simultaneously on the left and right wings!”

“under!”

The elite warriors in the front pushed back the sporadic groups of Rockwoos that charged at them with their shields and struck their necks with their swords.

The pikemen right behind them continued to stab with their long spears, relieving the burden on the elite warriors.

While the battle line held its ground, the 3rd and 4th Squadrons made detours to the left and right, digging into the flanks of the flustered Rockwoo group.

This time, the common warriors stood in front in a square formation, holding shields with both hands.

No matter how strong Lockwoo is, once the charge stops, it is not easy to push him away when the four shield bearers are holding on by pushing each other’s backs with their shields.

Meanwhile, the elite warriors behind the phalanx held a five-meter long spear in their hands and raised it above their heads. From high above, they stabbed the Rockwoos outside the phalanx.

Phuuk! Phew! Phuuk!

Even if they were a 4-man formation pushing forward, they would eventually be pushed back by Lockwoo’s incredible strength, but the elite warriors’ spears kept stabbing them from behind, so Lockwoo was unable to exert any strength.

If you push hard enough, the spear will get stuck in, and if you push hard enough, the spear will get stuck in again, so the Rockwoos fall one by one and are pushed back further and further.

There,

Swish!

800 imperial archers rained down arrows incessantly on the left and right wings.

The black arrows raining down from close range dug deeper into the flesh of the Rockwoos.

The front was blocked, and they were gradually pushed back from the left and right, so the Rock-Woos scattered in confusion. Some rushed into the hail of arrows and spears in response to their killing instincts, while others retreated as if they had the opportunity. As a result, the distance between the Rock-Woos grew wider and their unity disappeared.

A line of rock-paper-scissors, porous like sponges.

Now it’s time to cut the neck.

I will crush the remaining 200 or so Rockwoos with Sword Aura.

“The Demon Slayer Corps! Dispatch!”

“under!”

The True Knights are a unit comprised of 60 low-level experts and 10 mid-level experts.

They ran forward with their sword auras shining brightly.

The soldiers in the front line crouch down to clear their path.

Boom! Boom!

The sledgehammer kicked the ground hard and jumped high, leaping over the battle line and rushing into the crowd of disorganized Rockwoo.

Kwajik!

Boom!

Kkeueeeee!

With a chilling scream, gray-white blood spurts out like a fountain.

Sword Auror was different from the ancient swords in that it had more destructive power than cutting power, so every time Lockwoo was cut, the wound would burst and pieces of flesh would fly out.

The excited ginseng soldiers shouted.

“Oh my god! Rockwoo is this easy!”

“Sweep it! Sweep it!”

Originally, the charging Rockwoo was a fearsome presence even to them.

However, Lockwoo, who was standing still and being pressured from both sides, was not afraid at all.

It was easy.

It was so easy that I wondered if it could be this easy.

Kwajik!

Chomp!

Kkieeee-!

A group of rock-paper-scissors collapsing as if being swept away by a broom.

Feeling at a disadvantage, some of the Rockwoos quickly broke away from the ranks and retreated, but that too was useless.

Because I still have one last weapon left.

“Cavalry! Charge!”

The 200 heavy cavalry that had been slowly making a detour charged forward.

He impaled the retreating Rockwoos on cavalry lances.

Kkeueeeee-!

The last rock falls down.

The battle time up to this point was only 15 minutes.

It was a landslide victory.

* * *

Calceric looked around with amazement. All he could see were soldiers who were very excited.

“Did you see that earlier? I’m going to the window! I’m going to hit Lockwoo between the eyebrows!”

“Hey, you bastard. You bastard. Did I stab you in the eye?”

“I stabbed Lockwoo in the balls. I’m being questioned.”

First win.

And a landslide victory.

The atmosphere of the military itself has changed.

“No, every time the Count gives a command, my spine goes tingling! Tingling!”

“So, what are you talking about, playing with sand with a bunch of rock stars?”

“Thrilling? I’m tired.”

“Fuck… … . It smells somehow. Get out.”

The soldiers’ shoulders gently relax.

The heart that used to beat with anxiety now beats with confidence.

There were some who, as they plunged deep into the very center of change, were not afraid but rather hummed.

ecdysis.

It was like a rebirth.

The moment when a butterfly, fully formed inside a cocoon, finally tears open the cocoon and emerges.

The moment you realize that your flapping wings can reach the world.

Calceric felt it.

The warriors before and after the battle were completely different beings.

He naturally recalled the battle just before that had created this miracle.

‘It was a genius idea.’

That was Calceric’s assessment.

‘You’ve maximized the Expert’s attack power.’

In the general tactic of putting experts first, such an attacking power could not be expected.

Because they had to face the fiercest enemy, the experts suffered frequent injuries and lost stamina quickly.

Of course, if we did that, we could definitely break the enemy’s spearhead, but our strongest force was also consumed, and the battle became sluggish.

As the battle time gets longer, it is natural that stamina consumption and damage also increase.

But when the experts fell back and the elite and common warriors held the line, everything changed.

The experts, who had been saving their strength, dug into the gap where the enemy formation had collapsed and literally carried out a massacre.

The battle ended surprisingly quickly as the experts took out the enemy’s lifeline in one breath, and as a result, the damage to both elite warriors and regular warriors was drastically reduced.

‘I fought 300 Rockwoos… … and there were no casualties… … .’

Even experts above the upper level did not come forward.

It felt like I was witnessing a new era of combat against demons.

Calceric turned his gaze back to the soldiers whose morale was high.

Despite fighting a formidable opponent of 300 Rockwoos, he didn’t seem tired at all.

Soon his gaze turned to the side. A man with dark blue hair was riding a horse.

Lanshen.

His lord.

‘Our captain, I felt like you learned something properly… … but you were able to use tactics and strategies to this extent?’

He was shocked and finally saw the possibility.

‘If things go on like this… … I think Operation Lightning will be worth a try.’

I thought it was a ridiculous plan, but it seemed entirely possible.

That ridiculous plan to subdue the imminent change zone in just one week.
