Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 108

Episode 108

“Go to war!”

Kukukuk.

The gate was lowered and spanned the moat, and an army of nearly 2,000 began to pass over it.

98 knights, 730 crossbow cavalry, 922 infantry.

It was clear that it was a force that no one could ignore, but it was definitely a smaller force than when they attacked Tomodo Castle just two months ago.

Attacking the main city of Bipros with this force would have been tantamount to suicide.

‘okay. ‘If only it were like before.’

Among the generally nervous leaders, Logan was smiling alone.

“Are you not worried at all? Really?”

“How many troops are left in the main city of Bipros? The Duke of Jordan has issued an order for general mobilization, so no one under his command will ever be able to refuse, even out of fear.”

“And we are directly ignoring the warnings of that terrible man.”

Although Padrick spoke with a stern expression, Logan still looked confident.

“Oh, Uriya, the situation is different. Didn’t I tell you? Even your father agreed.”

“….”

“Father, please look at it positively. This is an opportunity to regain the land of our ancestors for the first time in two hundred years. And a superhuman facing a great battle for the presidency with his rival cannot move easily. At least, to the extent of picking up the land in this borderland. “And if it moves…”

“By then, Walter Mayim will have gone bankrupt, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Padric nodded slightly, but his face was still full of worry.

“What if the Two Princes faction wins the civil war?”

“Before that, we have to take the 1st Prince’s side.”

“If it were the other way around, wouldn’t that be the case?”

“That’s right. Either way, the civil war will end, and in either case, the Duke of Jordan will not be able to carry out his warning. That is, if we take Bipros Castle and become a key card for both factions. Don’t you understand and agree? Was it?”

Logan shrugged his shoulders, but Padric continued speaking in a more serious voice than ever.

“You know there’s a big flaw in your story, right?”

“…yes?”

“Assuming that the civil war will not end while we grow up in Bipros Castle. You are convinced that this civil war will last an extremely long time. Are you not?”

Logan’s face stiffened slightly at those words.

Looking back through history, civil wars within a country have rarely lasted more than a year.

The Grandia Civil War, which lasted for three years, was a very unusual case.

His father’s question was natural, but it was a fact that Logan had inadvertently overlooked.

“Ah… That’s right… Just looking at the situation that has already unfolded, it doesn’t look like it will end easily.”

“It doesn’t seem like you’re saying that simply based on the situation of the war.”

“It’s still just a feeling, but isn’t there enough potential? I think it’s enough to bet on your fate.”

“Is it really just a simple feeling?”

“…What are you talking about?”

“No, no. Ha… I’ve already decided, so let’s do as much as we can.”

Padric raised his eyes and looked at the clear sky.

The cold air seeped into my lungs, making me feel the deepening winter.

As I closed my eyes, I felt that sharp coolness deep inside my mind, and the image of my son I saw in the palace not long ago came to mind.

The way he smiled coldly as he watched Larry Klett die.

‘No way… probably not.’

No, it didn’t matter if it was actually true.

It doesn’t matter whether the son promoted the civil war or not.

In any case, he would have done something for his family.

It wasn’t just this time, there were many times in the past when I felt that my son was hiding something, but I believed that.

So there was no need to create trouble for no reason, even if it meant cheering them on.

Now it was time to think about just one thing.

The land of our ancestors.

Lost movie.

The opportunity to find it all was right in front of me.

And when that time comes…

“Ha… okay. I don’t know if I’m crazy or if you’re crazy or if the world is crazy. But I guess I’ll give this a try.”

Although he couldn’t tell what his father was thinking, he could at least confirm that the anxiety in his eyes had disappeared.

That’s why Logan was able to answer willingly.

“yes!”

* * *

– Quietly open the gate and surrender. If you do that, I will spare your life.

“Damn it. What on earth do these crazy people believe?!”

Senior Knight Rentor, the current garrison commander of Bipros, let out a harsh curse as he saw the enemy troops approaching beyond the castle walls.

Currently, the only troops remaining in Bypros are 22 knights and about 500 soldiers.

It was safe to say that there was virtually no possibility of stopping the enemy’s army of nearly 2,000.

If the enemy had declared war, they would have gathered even the smallest number of troops dispatched to other castles.

No, they would have conscripted him and ordered him to catch arrows.

‘What does that mean now?’

However, there was no way to retreat.

[Peretta’s army will join. Hold on and protect as much as you can! Absolutely!]

In fact, there was no mention anywhere in the master’s communication that the main force would return.

And then he says to protect it somehow.

Are you saying this because you really think there is a possibility, or are you feeling abandoned?

Now I couldn’t even understand its true meaning.

but.

“You just have to hold on! Reinforcements are coming soon! Protect yourself at all costs!”

The words spoken to the soldiers had to be hopeful.

As all the elites had gone to the central front, he, the only remaining knight, was the only hope for the Vipros army.

“As expected, I don’t think I have any intention of surrendering gracefully.”

“There is no need to drag it out. We will capture it right away.”

“yes!”

As soon as Padric spoke, McLane’s army began to march.

The 20-meter-high castle wall was just as big and wide.

However, the magnificent size of the castle walls completely acted as a weakness this time.

Because the wide walls had to be defended with overwhelmingly inferior troops.

McLane’s knights were scattered into three groups, with the left and right forces splitting along the east and west walls in the direction of the south gate from which they had advanced, but just one of them exceeded the total number of knights stationed in Bypros.

Unless ancient magic is hidden in Bipros Castle, it will not be possible to overcome this absolute inferiority.

Therefore, there was no hesitation in the movements of the McLane knights.

“Capture the castle!”

As soon as the lord shouted, knights rushed in from three sides at the same time.

On one side alone, about 30 knights spread out, stepped on the castle wall, and jumped up.

And the knights of Bipros, who were supposed to stop them, were gathered only at the front south gate of the castle.

Only soldiers were stationed at the eastern and western gates.

“Form in formation and hold on! If you hold on, an opportunity will come!”

Instead of blocking the enemies invading from other directions, Rentor decided to focus his knightly power on the southern gate wall and take as much time as possible to block them.

‘If the knights are scattered, they will only be defeated individually. Hang in here!’

It would take a considerable amount of time just to dispose of all the soldiers on the eastern and western walls.

If you preserve your knight power, you can aim for a counterattack when reinforcements arrive.

It was truly a petty strategy, a poor breach of trust that could not even be called a strategy.

There it is.

Heeeeeeee.

Fortunately, the northern gate, where the enemy had not come, was seen opening and a colorful four-legged chariot was seen leaving.

In the meantime, the sight of six knights running and guarding the carriage was clearly visible to the soldiers.

Rentor actually shouted as he watched everyone’s morale drop.

“Look! The matriarchs and young Confucius escaped safely! There is nothing to worry about now! We will face the enemy here and fight to the last!”

What on earth were you worried about? What about our lives?

Rentor, who seemed not to be aware of the absurd looks from those around him, continued to talk passionately about lowering the morale of the troops.

“under!”

In just two leaps, Logan climbed onto the castle wall.

The path he took was to the eastern gate, where there was not even a trace of the knight.

Sigh!

“Ugh!”

As soon as I climbed up the castle wall, I screamed as I swung my sword.

The soldiers who died after being cut with a single sword could not even scream, but the soldiers next to them screamed in horror.

And the screams spread throughout the castle walls along with the attacks of the knights who followed Logan up the walls.

There was not a single knight from Bypros who was supposed to encourage the panicked soldiers and make them fight.

In the end, it was so obvious.

“Everyone kneel! Those who surrender will be spared!”

The majority of the soldiers threw down their weapons and sat down at the shouts that erupted during the one-sided slaughter of the knights, who were superhumans with overwhelming force that ordinary soldiers could not help but face.

“Please save me!”

Soldiers surrendering in vain.

It will be an inevitable choice for them.

In fact, that alone was the end of the eastern gate.

It went so easily and as expected that I was shocked.

But Logan gave the order right away without delay.

“One group go down and open the gate! The rest follow me and attack the southern knights!”

When I looked to the other side, I saw that my father had already taken control of the western wall in a similar way.

‘If there is this much difference in power, there is no need for any strategy, but is this too much to do?’

Well, the dumber the enemy was, the better it was for the allies.

“I’ll end you here!”

Logan roared and rushed like the wind toward the southern wall.

Bypros was much larger than Tomodo Castle, but because of that, the enemy’s small force was bound to stand out even more.

And in the midst of that, a startling sound was heard.

“I am Rentor, a senior knight of Biphros. I challenge you to a knight battle! If you are a knight too, please respond without shame!”

No, I’m so embarrassed.

Why does my face get hot when I hear what my enemy says?

Logan laughed and stopped in his tracks.

I didn’t want to deal with such an idiot myself.

At that moment, our soldiers poured in through the open east and west gates.

Seeing them, Logan’s sword pointed at the ridiculous idiot.

“Shoot!”

There is no cover inside the castle wall, so there is a wide open wall.

A shower of quarrels poured down on the 22 enemy knights gathered there.

Ta-da-da-dang.

“Non-cowardly.”

“uh. You’re stupid.”

Sigh!

After the surrounding knights turned into hedgehogs and fell, Rentor lost his life to Logan’s single sword.

Logan cut off the fallen enemy’s head, held it high and shouted,

“We won!”

Driven out two hundred years ago. The land of our ancestors that had been taken away from us.

McLane regained the land so easily.

* * *

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

Padric’s voice rang out calmly.

But there was a passion in that voice that could not be hidden.

It was the battle of the Great War. You could tell just by looking at the trembling hand stroking the handle of the chair at the head lord’s seat.

The vassals also knew the lord’s feelings, so a soft moment of silence enveloped the daejeon for a moment.

In that silence, Padric’s gaze shifted from the flame. I looked at the scenery of Daejeon, which had been repainted with the pattern of full-blown flames instead of the pattern of blooming roses.

Even if it was not a normal victory, even if the enemy’s main force was still outside, it was victory for now.

We had regained the lost land of our ancestors. .

Padric, who had been struggling to control his emotions, turned his gaze back to the knights lined up in the hall.

And,

“We, McLane, have finally recovered the land of our ancestors. All of this is your contribution here, and it is my blessing to have you as my vassals.” A

trembling voice quietly echoed throughout the room.

“This is an opportunity to praise your contribution in creating this glorious moment, but before that. It should be a place to commemorate our fallen soldiers in the process. I won’t forget. “The knight who created this place…”

From Padric’s mouth, the names of the fallen knights were called out one by one. As the names of each of the dead comrades were called out, the heads of the knights lined up slowly lowered.

Among them were those from long ago .

Some were members of the McLane Knights, while others converted from Tethron or Sylvan. However,

the camaraderie developed through many battles united the knights regardless of their origins.

“…I will engrave your names in my heart and remember them forever. would. I will remember your loyalty and dedication and reward the remaining families with a glorious future.”

When all the names of the fallen knights were finally called.

“Allegiance!”

Boom.

“Glory to McLane!”

Boom.

“Go away. I will dedicate the rest of my life to becoming a sword of unending flame!”

Boom.

The vibration created by the foot cloud that resounded in Daejeon soon became a strong sound and spread through the hearts of everyone present here. The

lingering sound of that deep sound would not go away. “I will

do my best to embrace and remember the victims who achieved this glory. So, it would be a good idea to discuss what will happen in the future with McLane’s future.”

Padric’s gaze shifted to his eldest son standing right below him.

“Father. I think it would be better for you to just say it.”

Logan waved his hand, hoping that his father would enjoy all the joy on a good day.

“When I drove Thethron out, I was just proud of him. When McLane Town was created, I thought it was truly amazing. That’s when I realized you were already out of my hands. It was a pleasant miscalculation.”

“Father…”

“And it was you, not me, who led the family until now, when they drove out Sylvan and finally occupied Bipros. Above all, the crisis is not over yet. You, the center of the family, should encourage the knights.”

It was also funny to refuse further here.

Logan let out a long sigh and looked at the prostrating knights.

He then took a step forward.

“…As everyone can guess, difficult times are coming now. will be. McLane will not rest here. I hope that you will become wings for the family that will soar even greater in the winds of difficult times!”

“Fury!!”

“All rewards will be postponed until this temporary victory is confirmed as a solid victory. Everyone, don’t relax just yet!”

“Yes! Okay!”

“We won! And we will continue to win! And I will share all that glory with you!”

Logan’s hopeful ambition fills Daejeon.

“Glory to McLane!!”

The sound becomes even bigger and becomes more exciting than ever in Daejeon. filled up.
