I Don’t Need a Guillotine for My Revolution - Chapter 241

Episode 241 Temple of the Abyss – Looking into

the sound of glass breaking heard in the sky.

The sacred golden barrier shatters and scatters light.

My body was moving faster than my mind was able to understand the situation.

“your majesty!”

“Ugh…”

As I urgently caught Eris, who was staggering and falling, she leaned against me and moaned.

Piiiiing-

Piiiii-

“Aaaah!”

“Spread out!”

The rockets flew in with a roar and hit the defenseless soldiers who were relaxing, trusting in Eris’ protective shield.

“Aaaah!”

The rocket explodes, sparks fly and screams erupt.

Damn it, the morale that went up after the victory has plummeted again.

But what is more important than that.

“your majesty! Are you okay?”

Eris shook her head for a moment as if she was trying to come to her senses, and then answered as if she was fine.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

However, Eris cannot even raise her head properly and her voice is shaking.

My heart sinks as I see blood dripping from her nose.

First, I took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood flowing from Eris’s nose, then tilted her head back.

“Oh, it’s okay.”

“Shh, be quiet. Stay where you are, Your Majesty. “Because even if you look at it, it doesn’t look okay.”

What was that just now?

Is it an aura?

Was it possible to send out a huge aura like that?

What should I say about that? Black energy?

Whatever it is, the damage suffered by Eris seems significant at first glance.

Even though no sacred power strengthening crystals were used and the blow was unexpected, it shattered Eris’ sacred power, which can block most artillery fire, like breaking a glass window.

“La la Marquis de Lafayette! Rockets are hitting the camp! What about Her Majesty… Heo Eok Yeo Queen-”

“Shut up, Mirbo!”

Damien rushed over and screamed in excitement, but when he heard me, he was so surprised that he covered his mouth with both hands.

Is there any reason for this crazy person to inform the entire army that Eris has fallen?

“Her Majesty the Queen needs to rest for a while. There is no need to panic, just do as usual. “Prepare anti-artillery fire and have the soldiers take cover and spread out.”

“Oh yeah old! All right!”

Damien immediately saluted and ran away.

I sighed lightly and looked at Eris, who was quietly leaning back against what I had done.

It must be really bad to see him so calm.

“…How are you feeling, Your Majesty?”

“I feel dizzy. “It seems like the magic has been a little distorted… It’s definitely not okay.”

I sighed lightly and turned my gaze to Alexandre Werther, who was frozen next to me.

“I will leave command to you for a while, Chief of Staff.”

“I understand! “His Excellency the Marquis de Lafayette!”

After hearing Werther’s answer, I picked up Eris and headed to the barracks.

Fortunately, everyone was busy looking at the enemy lines, and the staff I encountered along the way also understood my hand gestures, closed their mouths, and looked away.

It’s crazy, even the staff officers are like this, but Damien doesn’t even notice.

Eris was quietly held by me, and only after I took her to the barracks and laid her on the bed did she open her mouth.

“Can you do something like that, Marquis?”

“I can’t. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone, not just humans but demons, do something like that. How is your condition?”

Eris closed her eyes for a moment and seemed to concentrate, then nodded.

“I think I’ll be fine if I rest a little and work on my magic.”

“That’s a good thing. Then, do you think it can be prevented by using the Holy Power Enhancement Crystal?”

Eris was silent for a moment after hearing my question.

For now, it has ended with breaking the barrier created with divine power and twisting Eris’s magic.

But what happens if something like that attacks our main unit?

Fortunately, it hasn’t come flying in yet, so it doesn’t seem like something like that can fire wildly, but if something like that flies into the main force… what if the

huge aura mass that instantly shattered the saint’s protective shield hits the humans made of cloth? Just imagining what might happen is a terrible thought that sends a chill down my spine.

There was a long silence, and Eris, catching her breath slightly, answered slowly.

“I do not know. If it was an attack of the level mentioned earlier, I would be able to sufficiently defend myself by using the Holy Power Enhancement Crystal, but since I don’t know if this attack is the enemy’s full strength or not…”

Eris looked a little unsure, but she soon changed her expression as if she had composed herself and used both hands. He slapped himself on the cheek and said.

“No, you can. Because I have to. “Just rest a little and I’ll be right back.”

Yes, this is how we become the Queen of Saints.

I was about to laugh and tell him not to overdo it, but then stopped.

Neither Eris nor I would want to say something like that in this situation.

If you don’t overdo it in the first place, when are you going to overdo it?

We came here to win no matter what.

We all know that and risked our lives to come here.

“I believe it, Your Majesty. Then I lead and wait.”

“thank you. Then, I will trust the Marquis and rest.”

I nodded to her and stood up.

Even though I was a mess inside, Eris smiled and waved at me as I left.

* * *

The situation I saw when I came out didn’t even look good.

Piiiiing –

Piiiiing –

Countless rockets flew in with a unique, strange roar and struck the camp, scattering flames here and there.

“Wow!”

“Damn it, how many rockets did those damned demons bring?”

“Ahh my legs! “My legs!”

A soldier who has been unluckily hit by a direct hit screams while holding on to his leg, which has had its lower part torn off.

Countless rockets are flying in non-stop, destroying our camp, as if the sky is filled with roaring sounds.

“Hurry up anti-artillery fire!”

“Turn the turret around and mount the turret-”

“Those enemy shells-”

“Ensign damage!”

“Aaaahhh!”

Until now, under Paimon’s command, the devils had only fired rockets, but this time, they were continuously bombarding the friendly camp with rockets, and in turn, they were firing anti-artillery fire at our artillery, which was trying to fire anti-artillery fire.

This is the main body of the Abyss Corporation, probably the most elite demon army directly under Bael.

I ran through the now chaotic camp and entered the headquarters.

“What is the situation?”

As soon as I jumped in, Werther, who looked distraught and surrounded by staff, answered right away.

“The enemy rocket barrage continues! Our artillery is targeting the rocket battery, but damage to our artillery is accumulating due to the enemy’s anti-artillery fire. What should I do-”

“The location of our artillery has already been revealed, so stop firing and move to another location! And send a messenger to the Magic Division! “Sniping at the enemy rocket battery is left to the mages, and our artillery fires anti-artillery fire at the enemy’s artillery as soon as it moves into position.”

“I understand, Your Excellency the Marquis de Lafayette!”

“Our light infantry approaching the enemy lines! “Firefight begins!”

In the meantime, after receiving the report from the staff, I immediately turned my attention to the front line.

The machine gun…

is not yet visible.

The approaching enemy troops looked like line infantry in their clothing and form –

but I didn’t think so for a moment.

As soon as our light infantry could get close to the range, the enemies fell to the ground.

What is that?

Although our light infantry fires, it is not easy to hit enemy soldiers who are lying on the ground and taking cover.

Soon the demons returned fire, and some of the light infantry who were standing or kneeling while firing fell down.

Is this a movement focused on avoidance? But I thought I couldn’t

reload in that state .

But there is no holder for their guns.

If there is no holder, you can’t push a bullet into the muzzle, so how do you reload?

“Uh huh!”

I quickly grabbed the telescope of the staff member next to me and was horrified by the sight I saw through it.

They are reloading from the back of the gun, not from the muzzle.

There is no need to go through the trouble of inserting a bullet into the long barrel of a gun; you just put the bullet straight into the back of the gun and shoot.

Only then did I realize it.

Those guys aren’t focused on evasion.

You can continue reloading and shooting even in a prone position.

They seem to reload much faster than us, but it’s a one-sided firefight while taking cover.

There is no way that light infantry and muskets can achieve a high accuracy rate in a firefight in the first place!

“Give the damn light infantry a retreat signal immediately!”

“Oh, I understand! “Your Excellency the Marquis!”

If this is the case, they have the absolute advantage in a firefight.

This side is standing and pushing bullets in as fast as they can, but they can load and shoot quickly while lying down and taking cover.

“That can’t be checked with infantry fire! “Tell the howitzer battery to give them priority over the delivery drones!”

“ancient!”

The concentrated bombardment from the howitzers will have a big impact on those guys as well.

However, the number of drones cannot be reduced that much.

What should I do?

Should I engage in hand-to-hand combat?

However, if they are hit by machine guns, it will be a catastrophic accident. Their infantry is covered by drones.

Even if you are successful in jumping into close combat with the riflemen, you will end up fighting against hundreds of thousands of drones that are neither tired nor fearful.

That’s close to suicide.

“What will you do, Excellency the Marquis de Lafayette? There is no suitable response in the current situation. “For now, why not take a step back and make a plan…” I

carefully asked Werther if he had made the same decision as me.

Should I step back and reorganize my posture?

I thought about it for a moment, but immediately shook my head.

“No, you can’t back out now.”

This place is, of course, the headquarters of the Abyss Corporation.

“The soldiers have just seen the collapse of Her Majesty’s protection and the new weapons of the enemy. “If you can’t do anything here and just retreat, the next fight will be more difficult.”

We achieved a great victory against Paimon’s drones and raised our morale, but if we break down and retreat like this, the expeditionary force’s morale cannot be maintained.

We are the Allies.

It was difficult for Eris to rally the troops who had already lost their will to fight, and if their morale began to decline, there was no turning back.

“The moment any country that thinks they have no chance of winning against the majesty they have shown and wants to preserve its power will break away one by one and collapse in an instant.”

“Keuung…”

More than anything, I have a strong premonition.

“Besides, the attack that destroyed Her Majesty’s divine power earlier.”

I don’t know if it’s aura or sword energy, but it’s an attack powerful enough to shatter Eris’s protection, but so far there’s no sign of it trying to strike again.

He is said to be the strongest demon, but if it was an attack that would only use it once and lose strength, there would be no way he would have used it from the beginning.

“It would be nice if they couldn’t fly it anymore, but if that’s the way things are looking, they’ll fly it again as soon as we turn our backs on it. “You wouldn’t want the attack that shatters His Majesty’s divine power to hit the backs of defenseless retreating troops, right?”

Werther swallowed dry saliva and answered.

“I’m so sorry.”

“No, as a staff member, I can at least think about maintaining my full strength in an unprepared situation. But not now.”

We must fight now.

They are also on guard against Eris, and we also have a magic tower lord.

They know that too, so that Bael must be conserving his strength.

At the very least, we must hold out until the moment when Eris can somehow resolve the distorted magic power and cover our retreat.

“Forget retreating from your mind. This is the battle, and as long as this is an away game, we cannot retreat.”

“All right!”

I glared at the procession of drones and demons that were approaching across the plain.

Bael and Paimon.

Yes, as we look into their tactics and respond.

They also looked at us and came out with things to counter them.

But we also risked everything to come this far.

If they were going to give up and step down so easily, they would have accepted their ridiculous peace negotiations from the beginning.

Okay, I’ll let you know.

We also know that what we have shown so far is not everything.
