Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 150
Episode 150: The day after the second battle.
The battle that immediately took place again was enough to turn the complexion of the entire McLane army white from the start.
This is because the strongest superhumans of each faction appeared in front of both armies at the same time.
The sight of the battle beginning and the Allied forces pouring in was enough to make fear rise in the hearts of everyone watching.
“Damn it! Why all of a sudden…!”
“You must have seen the agreement. It is a natural procedure.”
“Our situation is too bad right now to say it so easily.”
“No. At least today won’t be the worst. There are still moves left.”
“what?”
Padric looked puzzled, but Logan didn’t have time to explain at length.
I had a number in mind, but I didn’t think I’d be able to write it so quickly.
‘And even if it works, you can’t be completely reassured. If it doesn’t work… no, let’s not think about that.’
Logan shouted, blood forming in his neck.
“Clayton, please take charge of Luther Kyle. I will take charge of Wicken. And the knights! Focus your Liberatio firepower on other superhumans! Do you understand?”
“Guardian knights, take your hands off the bombs! Join me and focus on dealing with the knights coming up the castle walls!”
“yes!”
Padric and Logan were constantly walking around the castle walls encouraging the soldiers. Seeing the lord and son like that, the knights sensed a terrible battle and strengthened their resolve to do so.
In an unusual atmosphere that was clearly different from the previous two days, the soldiers were also extremely nervous and tried to calm their trembling hands.
Not long after, a shower of Quarrels began pouring down on both armies that were within the range of the crossbows, and the successive explosions of Liberatio maximized the noise on the front line.
‘now!’
The three Liberatios that left Logan’s hand exploded one after another in the empty air.
And not long after.
Kwakwakwakwakwa.
The local noise that erupted from the headquarters of the Second Prince’s army and the snowstorm that swept through changed the entire battlefield.
“Juan you son of a bitch!!”
With the Duke of Jordan’s shout, the two superhumans who were soaring up the walls of Aegis began to hastily return to their base, leaving McLane’s offensive behind.
A comical situation occurred where half of the knights of the 2nd Prince’s army that were charging towards Toseong were still on the castle walls, while the other half followed their captains and retreated to the base.
The same goes for the 1st Prince’s army, which was advancing towards the western and southern walls.
Wicken and Juan Douglas, frightened by the sudden movement of the second prince’s army, hurriedly retreated, and among the troops, those advancing and those retreating were mixed, creating chaos.
“Shoot! Keep shooting!”
“Pour it out!”
Of course, it was a perfect opportunity for McLane.
‘It worked!’
A situation where the superhumans, the most difficult force, suddenly left the front line.
“Focus on the retreating knights!”
Logan, who predicted this situation alone, ordered an attack while seeing the enemy troops struggling and then rushed down the castle wall without hesitation.
“Your Majesty?!”
“Don’t follow, just keep pouring in!”
Logan shouted and landed at the bottom of the castle wall.
As long as he wasn’t a superhuman, he could have escaped at any time.
And looking at himself like that, Logan smiled coldly at the confused sight of the two princes, some running away and others attacking them.
“Haaaab!”
With Logan’s spirit, a huge golden sword rises from Lux.
Ugh.
The twelve charging enemy knights were split in half at the same time.
“Ugh!”
“A monster!!”
The screams came not from the dead but from those around them.
Most of the knights and soldiers began to run backwards to avoid Logan, but even in the midst of this chaos, there were still some who ran towards Logan.
“It’s McLane’s squire! Kill it!!”
Oliver Ortega, commander of the knights of the County of Cherno.
The highest-ranking knight, nicknamed the Knight of Flash, rushed in front of Logan, leading his subordinates.
Unfortunately, he did not see the fierce battle between Logan and Wicken that took place on the southern wall the previous day.
I heard the story, but I heard it with one ear and passed it on.
‘You fought on equal footing with Auror users? What nonsense! It must be thanks to that mage!’
I heard that there was a magician in the area.
I saw the half-giant Luther Kyle being defeated like that, and I can’t deny that.
But right now, there wasn’t a single knight of McLane around, let alone a mage who could help him.
But even so, Oliver made a cautious decision.
The tens-meter-long Force Blade(?) that he showed me earlier was a blow that even he couldn’t dare to counter.
Of course he would be exhausted after such a blow, but just in case…
“Everyone join in! I will finish it off!”
“yes!”
At his shout, Senior Knight Tenan Klang Plevon rushed forward at the same time.
Attacks from senior knights coming from three sides.
Oliver, who followed closely behind, increased his power and prepared for his secret move.
A force blade that grows, shrinks, and blinks at the tip of the blade.
I planned to pierce through at once the weaknesses that would be revealed by avoiding or withstanding the combined efforts of my subordinates.
however.
Flashing.
Skag.
The golden line moved like a snake, and the heads of the charging men floated in the air.
“what…!”
A voice that came out of my mouth without me realizing it.
But even then, his long training paid off and his body responded quickly.
At the same time as it exerted its long-lasting instantaneous acceleration, the condensed Force Blade was launched like lightning towards the target.
however.
Whirling.
Skag.
His attack, which should have been absolutely unstoppable, was wrapped around a golden snake and rose into the air.
At the same time, I thought I saw a flashing ray of light, but then I felt a burning pain in my forehead and my body began to stop listening.
‘Am I… in such vain?’
An unbelievable reality.
But he couldn’t even think of that anymore.
Seeing the top knight being slaughtered in an instant, other knights who were trying to rush in with him began to back away.
“No way!”
“Run!”
However, the limitations of an army without a proper commander were clear.
“Let’s die today!”
Logan gritted his teeth and squeezed the force core to draw power from the beginning.
Flashing.
Ugh.
It was not aimed at all the troops gathered around.
With his transcendental sense, he found only knights of higher rank or higher, and took the sword with ghost-like movements.
As a result, not long after he jumped down the castle wall alone, Logan made a ridiculous record of murdering about 30 high-ranking knights, including the highest-ranking knight Oliver Ortega.
But was the sniping of that factor too noticeable?
“Kill that guy first!”
“It’s McLane’s squire!”
The top-ranking knights who were leading the soldiers at their respective positions eventually noticed Logan’s presence and began to charge.
‘That’s all for today.’
Logan, who had already wasted a lot of energy and had a pale complexion, retreated to the castle wall like the wind as soon as the enemy’s movements changed.
“Grand Duke…!”
“As expected…”
“Why are you looking at Confucius? Screw at least one more guy before they get any further!”
And when McLane’s troops look at Logan with a new look of admiration upon his return.
The top-class knights, who were chasing after him at their best speed, could only stare blankly behind him with blank eyes.
The battle that followed was nothing short of a comedy for McLane.
Of course, if a genre filled with a lot of bloodshed and screaming corpses can be described as a comedy, that is.
However, from the perspective of the Allied Forces, it was just an absurd tragedy.
bang!
“You bastard!! Are you out of your mind! You retarded bastard! Do you even know what you’ve done?!”
[That’s not really what I meant! Didn’t we promise that yesterday! Why did I…!]
“The guy who died at the scene used ice magic, you bastard! The division of the enemy war is like oil spill, what kind of idiotic thing are you doing? Should we really put an end to it ourselves first? It’s worse than this trash…! ”
[Wake up, Jordan! If I had planned it, there is no way I would have done it so sloppily!] It
was an excuse that bordered on insistence, but in a way, it was a natural statement.
Those words helped Jordan Walter Mayim return to his senses a little.
Whoa.
“…After the war is over, I will receive what I promised yesterday. Also, if…”
Ugh.
“If the First Prince’s army shows signs of hesitation or retreat even once in this battle, then we will see the showdown here first.”
[…Keep this in mind. In addition, I will also find the traitor who messed up and give him his head as a gift.]
“Hmph. So much.”
There was a loud sound of something breaking inside the communication port.
[…I’ll bear with you this time.]
Juan, with his distorted expression, showed a rare concession for him, and because of that appearance, Jordan was able to calm down his boiling anger.
* * *
“How did you do this?”
“It’s just taking advantage of their underlying distrust.”
“So, how did you do that?”
“He bought it while he was in the capital. He had quite a bit of gambling debt. He also has a lot of family to support.”
Logan shrugged.
“What about the explosion?”
“I used scrolls. They sold a lot. At the Glacier Magic Tower.”
“…Wouldn’t it be a big deal if he was caught alive?”
“It doesn’t matter. He probably thinks the client is from the 1st Prince’s side.”
“…”
Logan’s voice was calm, but Padric’s expression became heavy and he closed his mouth.
“Originally, I was planning to use it when there was a lull while I was on the central front, but I’m glad I used it like this. It looks like they reached an agreement with difficulty, but now that trust has been broken again, it will be difficult for them to completely trust each other.”
“…I’m so glad.”
“Yes. I was lucky.”
“Yes. You were very lucky. Your plans rarely turn out better than you initially intended.”
“Ugh! Father, that’s….”
Seeing his son trailing off at that poignant word, Padric let out a small sigh again.
“But it will be difficult to use it again, right?”
“…Yes. They aren’t stupid either.”
* * * What followed after one action drama was two days of silence.
And the war that resumed after that proceeded in a similar way to the second battle.
In the Second Prince’s Army, Luther Kyle still guards the main base and Jordan Walter Maim stands at the front.
The 1st Prince’s Army was led by Wicken Callia, but there was no trace of Juan Douglas, who had also taken the lead two days ago.
The silence of the past two days was a period for the two factions to come to a conclusion.
– The previous attack on the headquarters of the Second Prince’s army was the work of McLane.
However, even with such a superficial conclusion, the all-out war of two days ago did not appear.
It is clearly visible that each person is suspicious of the other.
McLane saw hope in that sight.
“Full army advance! We will end McLane today!”
The aspect of the battle that resumed was quite different from before.
Whatever the reason, the resolve of the commanders of the two factions was clearly different from before.
– If it takes longer than this, other variables may arise. Whether it’s McLane’s actions or the actions of the opposing faction.
Although they have not said it out loud, it is a fact that all faction leaders are tacitly aware of.
Perhaps the final war between factions may take place here today.
And before that.
– Make sure to erase the mac line.
There was a firm agreement on that much.
The start of the battle was similar to the second day.
However, unlike then, Jordan rushed the knights first and tried to take advantage of the opportunity behind them. However, he soon realized with his whole body that Clayton’s gravity control could trap only the desired target regardless of who was in front of him, and he was able to withstand the heavy fire just like before and focus only on defense.
Wicken also had no choice but to go for it, confirming once again that Logan, his obvious lackey, could fight on equal footing with him.
The only thing that changed was that the 1st Prince’s army did not retreat like before, and as the corpses piled up under the castle wall, the number of enemy knights climbing up the castle wall was increasing.
That small difference created a fatal gap for McLane.
In Padric’s opinion, it was just an unavoidable thing that happened in the very natural process of the battle intensifying.
The problem began when knights of the 2nd Prince’s Army began to infiltrate the 1st to 5th groups of vigilantes who were pouring heavy fire on the Duke of Jordan.
Who could calmly look outside the castle and fire a crossbow when a knight is aiming for his head from the castle wall?
Naturally, the concentrated fire aimed at Jordan’s Walter Mayim relaxed for an instant.
The second problem was that the superhuman began to move through the gap.
And the biggest problem was that the movement was not on the castle wall, but was directed towards the battlefield of Logan and Wicken, who were fighting fiercely near the eastern castle wall.
A noisy and tense battlefield.
Was it an illusion that Padric, who had been watching Jordan all along, felt that he had crossed a long distance and made eye contact with him?
The corners of his mouth turn up slyly when he looks at himself.
‘Watch your son die.’
It seemed like a mockery.
And Padric never wanted to see his son die before him.
That’s why I forgot to give instructions and jumped straight towards the guy.
There is only one thought that comes to mind.
We have to stop this guy. I have to save my son.
but.
The attack, which drew as much power as possible while jumping from a high place, disappeared like a bubble the moment it encountered the enormous flame aura that Jordan had unleashed.
An intense and unusual pain that feels as if the entire force of the body is being ripped out by the roots.
The pain, which he had already experienced once and had suffered for several weeks, brought him back to his senses, albeit late.
‘okay. ‘Fighting against the Aurors was crazy.’
It occurred to me that my son was strange and that this was normal, but it was already too late.
The helplessness that the force that disappeared along with the pain gave me made it difficult to lift a finger.
But strangely, the Duke’s hand, which seemed like it was going to end him, seemed to stop for a moment.
At the same time, the overflowing vitality was halved, and the extended energy wavered and went to the limbs rather than the neck.
And that brief gap created time for others to intervene.
“My lord!!”
A hand pushing my body along with a very familiar voice.
As if he could see the face of his friend and subordinate who had been with him for half his life, Padric escaped the Duke’s attack range.
“Help my lord!”
“Attack that monster!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
“Damn it…!”
The harsh voice was drowned out by the heavy drinking, the force was restored, and strength returned to his entire body, but Padric could not smile.
“Thank goodness, my lord.”
A subordinate who faintly smiles at himself even as he collapses with blood all over his mouth. No, a friend.
It was painful to see Heinkel’s right arm disappear along with his sword.
