Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 141
Episode 141 The leaders of the two camps, who had retreated more than 1km away, faced each other in the middle of the field.
Tuk.
Degurrr.
“This is Roger Bipros’ head. It’s a bit old, though. Would you like to check it further?”
“No, I’ll believe you when I say you’ll get out. But if you go back
on that…” “Don’t even mention useless oaths. We’ll never participate in the war again because we’re leaving now.”
Wicken Callia gritted his teeth at Logan’s words.
“Huh… good. You have the ability to say that. See you later, Logan McLane.”
“It would be best for you to return quickly. The attack by the Second Prince faction will begin soon.”
“what?”
“The moment you attacked, we already lost the communication.”
Actually, it’s scheduled to fly soon.
“What?! Oh my…!”
“You don’t have time to get angry at me, do you?”
“I’ll see you later.”
Even as he said that, Wicken Callia stepped back, glaring at Logan as if he was keeping him in check.
The sight of him slipping back on his own without even moving his feet, as if the wind was carrying his body.
Even that was so fast as a gale that he was already standing at the rear of the Calia Knights.
– All troops retreat! Head towards the base at top speed!
And only then did Logan turn around and spit out the rising blood that he had barely managed to suppress.
Cough.
“Ugh…”
“Grand Duke!”
Through his fading consciousness, he heard a voice calling him, but Logan didn’t have the energy to answer.
Even acting calmly was now at its limit.
‘We need to communicate quickly… we’ll have to make them fight so hard…’
I had no choice but to put aside the thoughts that came to my mind for a moment.
* * * [Vipros’s attack. Also, right after that, we were attacked by the First Prince’s army, Your Excellency. How should I accept this?]
A young man with a pale complexion seen in the communication port.
His red eyes showed extreme contempt.
The arrogant attitude that would normally have caused him to gouge out his eyes was so annoying, but Jordan Waltermaym couldn’t help but shout out loud.
This is because the miserable state of McLane County was visible in real time beyond the communication port.
“…It’s all my fault.”
A lame excuse that I have never made before in my life.
“I never thought I would use the weapon I gave you to make up for my lack of power against you. Even if I had ten mouths, I wouldn’t have anything to say.”
I tried speaking in an unfamiliar tone of voice.
[Roger Bipros is His Excellency’s henchman whom everyone knows. But your Excellency had no idea what he had set his mind to do?]
It had absolutely no effect on the other party beyond the communication channel.
‘Of course, even if it was me…’
Jordan Walter Mayim gritted his teeth.
It wasn’t a good idea, but now I had to convince the other person somehow.
With the Bipros army destroyed, even McLane is lost?
The victory they had worked so hard to gain was about to disappear once again.
“Listen to me! What he did is really…”
[We are the ones who revealed everything and made sacrifices for the faction. But I got hit in the back. What would you do, Excellency?]
I couldn’t be angry at him for unilaterally interrupting the conversation.
Because I could feel deep anger in the calm tone coming through the communication channel.
“Prince Logan. Calm down and listen to me…”
[I never thought that my loyalty to turn the losing battle situation into an advantageous situation and end the war by making sacrifices would be rewarded like this. Even more so when Your Excellency’s magnanimity is so narrow. Are you expecting me to surrender to the 1st Prince faction?]
“Listen to me!!”
[Who’s angry now…!]
“If I really wanted to attack you, would I have mobilized just Roger? Don’t get excited and think about it calmly! That’s arbitrary!”
While trying to calm him down, I ended up getting more excited.
However, he didn’t try to restrain himself because he thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing in the sense of showing sincerity, but it seemed to work.
[Hmm… That’s definitely true.]
“So don’t misunderstand! I will compensate you for any damage you may have suffered. Calm down first and let’s talk.”
[Phew…. Then how will you compensate me, Excellency?]
“Hmm. Once the war is over, in addition to the compensation you want…”
[Ha…. The end. I am. Huh?]
At Logan’s sarcastic tone, Jordan felt his blood pressure rise for an instant.
I have endured it with the utmost patience in recent decades.
[Are you kidding me? After the war ends when you’ve been stabbed in the back and seen all the damage you can do? haha. Now, Your Excellency, you are planning to change my outfit?]
Where are you cheekily licking your tongue?
A boiling anger welled up deep in his heart, but Jordan had no choice but to hold back this time.
“…If there’s anything you want, just tell me. I’ll do anything I can.”
In the end, he practically declared surrender with a deep sigh.
No matter what was said, it was advantageous to catch the McLine right now.
‘I can just pretend not to notice later.’
That was the idea, but the other person did not even accept that.
[For now, my family and I will return to our territory.]
“What?!”
[It is impossible to continue the battle in this situation. And I’m truly sorry, but I no longer trust the faction. So, I think McLane will be left out of this war altogether. If you win the war, I would appreciate it if you would keep what you initially promised.]
“Think again, Logan. McLane’s value is more than you think. Even if you don’t carry out the mission right now, if you come back and provide us with weapons, our victory will be certain. “I won’t force you to participate in the war…”
Jordan, out of urgency, poured out his own conciliation measures.
[Are you going to stab me in the back and give me a weapon? dismissal. I’m sorry, but I’m not that pushy.]
Logan’s attitude was just stern.
“Like I said, that was Roger’s opinion…!”
[Because I believe that, I will not go to the 1st Prince Army. But it is also difficult to help the faction.]
“You…!”
[If I change my mind in the future, I will contact you again. Then, we, McLane, will leave the battlefield.]
“No! Think about it a little more…”
[As a final act of loyalty, let me tell you one piece of information. It was the Knights of Calia who attacked us ‘yesterday’. Marquis Wickencalia was also there.]
“…What?!”
Why is he there?
There was no report of spies?
And you survived even though you had a storm sword??
Jordan’s mind becomes dizzy from this unexpected information.
[Then, I hope you are happy. I hope that I will be able to receive the compensation promised after the war.]
Ji Ji-jik.
Communication is cut off unilaterally.
Jordan Waltermime, who was dazed for a moment, soon lost control of his anger and kicked the office desk violently.
bang!
“Luchen Talos! Tell Talos to come! And prepare the entire army to go!”
– yes? yes! dismissal!
The panicked voice coming from outside the door fueled Jordan’s anger.
“Damn it! Why is this happening…!?”
* * *
“I can finally get away!”
The great actor who finished his performance cheered enthusiastically.
Balance the two factions, engage them in a fight, and then get out of there.
I couldn’t help but be excited because it was a moment when a plan that seemed like a daunting success came to spectacular success.
And it was the same for those watching.
“Hehehe. Is it really this easy?”
“That’s great, Confucius. The plan came to fruition much faster.”
To the audience’s admiration, Logan erased his excitement and responded with a smile.
“We inflicted quite a bit of damage on the 1st prince faction, and the 2nd prince faction cleared out Bipros. There will still be some Liberatio left, so if the 2nd prince army has any intention, they will begin the siege again soon. Before they hear that we have escaped. . And we….”
“All we have to do is leave the battlefield and expect them to fight each other and be destroyed, right?”
“That’s right.”
“What happens after that?”
“I have an idea. I’ll tell you later.”
“Okay, good job. Now let’s go home.”
Padric smiled and patted his son on the shoulder.
and.
“Everyone stand up! The play is over!”
Beyond the communication port, soldiers who had fallen here and there, covered in blood, woke up.
“The end? Is it really the end?”
“Okay. I’m going home!”
“Wow!”
Knight Henderson, who had buried himself in the ground except for his head, also opened his eyes.
“Get me out of here!”
“Hey, you crazy guy! Who would bother digging into the ground?!”
“This is how it feels!”
“Anyway, the zeal is in the wrong place…”
DeGrom lamented and picked up the shovel.
But even amid such lamentation, there was a bright smile on his face.
* * * A special ability, Force, that is manifested with a low probability through training by those with excellent physical ability.
Unlike other talents, for which the method of determining talent has not yet been clearly identified, the talent of Mana reveals its existence on its own.
Most people who were able to feel or use mana, even if only slightly, from a young age were born with the qualities to become mana user wizards.
Therefore, the majority of magicians often had the sense that they were the chosen ones.
The more talented they were, the more people showed this tendency, but those people were locked in the closet of the Magic Tower and experimented for decades to raise their level, and then they became a very small group of high-ranking wizards.
Because of this, there were many high-ranking wizards with personality breakdowns.
And the majority of those with personality breakdowns showed similar types of patterns.
He views everyone as beneath him unless they are a wizard equal to or higher than him.
In that sense, Juan Douglas, who was born as the heir of a ducal family and whose mother was a royal princess, was revered as a magical genius from an early age, and rose to the level of a 6th-circle magician at the age of only 40, was a person who could be considered the pinnacle of such personality-broken magicians.
The level of his usual noble status actually masks his arrogance and sense of being the chosen one.
However, the moment he found himself in a situation he had never faced before in his life, his twisted personality could not help but come out.
“Stop it! Stop it! Why can’t you do something so easy?”
His army begins to gradually fall behind due to the wave of attacks they suddenly begin.
As the number of enemy knights climbing over the castle wall increased, the feeling of nervousness only increased.
The ignorant and numerous Walter Maim Knights were unable to completely block even the Glacier Magic Tower wizards, who prided themselves on being on par with the Five Great Magic Towers made up of their students and descendants.
And the biggest cause was one person, no one.
The giant leaped onto the castle wall, rendering the hundreds of rapid-fire crossbowmen deployed useless.
Kwazijic.
As soon as he climbed onto the castle wall, it was clearly visible that Luther Kyle, who had been trapped in the ice by his own magic, was gradually creating cracks in the ice wall and trying to jump out.
“Bring the magic stone! “As much as I have!”
If he could get a little closer, he would cut off his life directly, but all he could do now was consume magic stones and keep them in check with ineffective long-distance magic.
Even so, he would have to make a dangerous choice after all the prepared magic stones ran out. The prince had
to take the risk of being attacked by a male and female and go to battle himself, or he could watch as the bastard destroys the army. When his
thoughts reached that point, his subordinate left the place and ran out to catch one of the bastards. Another superhuman, my son-in-law, was really annoying.
Despite his words to only send the elites of the two Margraves, he dared to come forward himself.
“That Wicken guy dared to ignore my words.”
Normally, no matter what his true feelings were. What on the outside could have been laughed off as a bold thing burst out in anger.
And the anger that the Ice Mage unconsciously unleashed froze the surrounding air, causing the nearby adjutants to shiver.
“I sent the o’clock signal, so again. He’s coming!”
“He’s already arrived nearby!”
Not long after he heard news that eased his anger a little.
Baaaaang!
Just as the giant trapped in the ice wall burst out, his opponent also arrived at the western wall again.
– Storm It’s the sword!
– It’s the Marquis Wicken!
Only then did Juan Douglas sigh and look back at the command staff covered in white frost with an awkward smile.
