Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 256
Episode 256 – We will protest against the king’s violence that violates the basic rights of nobles!
The three counts, including Jacques Juan, returned to their territory immediately after the Great War and gathered their respective troops. The troops gathered in that way far exceeded the level of a single margrave during the first civil war a few years ago.
Nearby small and medium-sized nobles also followed them and gathered troops, and in less than a month, County Juan turned into a fortress with over a thousand knights and over 20,000 troops stationed there.
Of course, there were still some who could not hide their anxiety.
“Isn’t there only 50,000 royal troops? No matter how few knights there are, if you add the troops of McLane and Esperanza…” “
Our troops will continue to increase. The foolish king has turned all the nobles into enemies. “It’s safe to say that everyone except McLane and Esperanza is on our side.”
“But…”
“Hehe. There’s no need to worry. Besides, the royal family doesn’t have enough food to support the army. I guess they all investigated it separately?”
Jacques seemed relaxed the whole time, comforting the nobles who were worried for no reason.
‘There is an uprising here, and nobles without power in the capital are continuously submitting petitions. ‘How long can the king endure?’
Jacques’ eyes were rather excited as he imagined the future after the king declared provisional surrender.
but.
– I will personally punish the shameless nobles who disobeyed the royal order and committed an armed uprising!
His leisurely smile had no choice but to disappear when the royal family declared war on him a few days later.
“What happened, Count?”
“They say the royal family can’t go to war!”
“What is this…!”
“Quiet! Quiet!”
bang. bang.
“Why are you so timid? Aren’t you ashamed of being a noble!”
The commotion in the hall calmed down for an instant as Zach shouted.
However, looking at those eyes that were still full of anxiety, Zach gritted his teeth and shouted again.
“Even if we manage to squeeze in supplies from McLane and Esperanza, we won’t be able to last even a few days! Are we really that afraid of an army that is so starved that it has no strength!”
“still…!”
“I see this as an opportunity too!”
Jacques Juan suppressed Mike Teroda’s voice, which was about to raise a rebuttal, in a louder voice, then opened his eyes again and scanned the puzzled faces of the nobles.
“If we suppress the royal army by force, the king will no longer be able to refuse any of our demands! Everyone, gather your troops to the limit! This is a war you can win as long as you hold out!”
It was a claim that sounded quite plausible unless you knew that it was a fundamentally wrong assumption.
However, even though he persuaded other nobles, he could not completely fool his own heart.
‘what. What’s wrong? No no. It must be the king’s bluff. It has to be that way…’
Blood seeped out from his tightly bitten lip without realizing it, but Zach didn’t even feel it.
He was intoxicated by the sweet dream of realizing his ambitions and could not look down at his feet, but he still could not hide his instinctive anxiety.
* * * Phuuuuu!
With a loud trumpet sound, a large army came out of Grand’s castle gate.
thud. thud.
The sound of steps being taken at a steady pace resonated throughout the castle, and at the head of the line was Logan, equipped with armor as usual.
When he turned around, the citizens of the capital who were watching him shouted in unison.
“Wow!”
Although it was a forced mobilization to boost the morale of the army, it was an encouraging sight for the soldiers who did not know about it.
‘One day, we will create a country where all of this happens voluntarily.’
Logan, who lowered his raised hand and clenched his fist with determination, turned his gaze to look at his army, which he named the Royal Guard.
There were as many as 48,000 infantrymen equipped with shiny new armor, spears, and even firing crossbows. In front of them, 3,000 crossbow cavalry, dressed in light armor and mounted on majestic steeds, were marching with a solemn expression, and at the forefront were more than 500 knights and 300 magic troops raising flaming flags high.
It was an incredibly powerful army created in just one year.
How could he not feel reassured, with the half-giant Luther Kyle and the storm sword Wicken Calia added to his left and right? Moreover, there was a supply unit in the back with an enormous quantity that the nobles could never have imagined.
‘I have to finish it right away.’
Even the security of the capital city of Grand was entrusted to his teacher and the Grand Duchy of Esperanza.
Now that we had prepared well, it was time to imprint the power of the Royal Guard throughout the kingdom.
With exhilaration welling up in his chest, Logan let out a roar that echoed throughout the castle.
“Move forward the entire army!”
-Chung!!!
With the loud cries of 50,000 troops, the large army began to move.
The army advanced without stopping and was in front of Count Juan’s castle in just three days.
bang!
“How many people are there in total?”
“They said it couldn’t be done! They said they couldn’t afford it! What the hell is this…!”
“Count Jacques! How on earth is this happening?”
As the appearance of the Royal Guard began to appear beyond the horizon, the nobles of Juan Castle, who had been unable to believe anything, fell into a state of panic.
The number of troops they gathered in a short period of time reached 30,000, and the number of knights was several times more, but this was because no one gathered with sincere preparation for war in the first place.
And, no matter what anyone says, the person who was most shocked had to be Jacques Juan himself.
“These damn things! They tricked me!!”
The target of his anger now was the information guilds that had requested information about the royal family. He had no choice but to be angry because it turned out that all the information brought by famous information guilds such as Nox and Arena Void were wrong.
Of course, the intelligence guilds had only just realized the existence of a royal intelligence organization backed by enormous funds and power and were reorganizing their organizations, but there was no way he would have known.
‘How dare those lowly things deceive me!?’
However, whether to demand a penalty or crush them was only possible after surviving this situation.
“If we fight here and win, our strength will be shattered! Count, you must surrender!”
“You said there wouldn’t be a war! How are you going to take responsibility!?”
Words pounding loudly in his ears.
But Jacques Juan did not make the decision easily.
‘Can I endure it? We have twice as many articles. I have a repeating crossbow and the advantage of a castle wall, so I think it might work…’
A lingering thought kept lingering in my head.
Wouldn’t it be possible to win?
Even if we don’t win, if we just hold on, won’t the king call for a truce?
He could not easily allow the brilliant future that seemed like a fantasy to fade away like a fantasy before his eyes.
It was a moment when my mind, which had been working intelligently until now, was unable to function properly in the conflict between greed and reason and kept hesitating.
“He just marches on!”
“It won’t stop!!”
“No declaration of war!!”
His complexion hardened as the knights shouted outside.
“No need to negotiate. Just trample.”
“yes!”
At Logan’s words while marching, the surrounding flags waved chaotically. The king’s intention to ‘continue the battle immediately’ was conveyed to the rear of the army.
Not long after, a stern mood descended on the slowly advancing army.
“Your Majesty. Please allow me to lead.”
“No, Your Majesty. I will break down the castle gate myself!”
Wicken Callia and Luther Kyle competed and asked to be put in the vanguard.
“The enemies are also armed with rapid-fire crossbows. I am invincible when it comes to normal projectiles, didn’t you know that!”
Wicken’s words were so valid that I found myself nodding my head.
“Don’t you know that I am different from before? I will show you clear results.”
Luther’s confidence was also fully understandable.
So Logan accepted both demands.
“Lord Wicken, go to the left, Lord Luther, go to the right. And…”
Logan, grinning with a bloody force, pointed to himself for the last time.
“I’ll take care of the front.”
At those words, smiles appeared on the faces of the two superhumans who claimed to be the vanguard, and from that moment on, the three superhumans began to accelerate towards the castle, accelerating little by little.
“Oh it’s coming!”
“He’s a superhuman!”
“Shoot!”
“Shoot! Shoot it all!”
Shouts like screams erupted from Juan Castle’s walls as they spotted three horsemen, no, two horsemen, and a giant charging towards the walls.
Logan, who read the fear contained in the shout, increased his momentum even more.
Pabababak.
Flashing.
Ride it!
The pitch-black rain of Quarel that seemed to cover the sky could not penetrate the golden protective shield rising from Logan’s body and bounced off with a loud noise.
The golden shield that covered the front of the Force Blade’s application stage was not the slightest burden to Logan, who had now reached the intermediate level of an Auror user.
Logan literally turned into a huge golden ball and rushed up to the castle wall. As soon as he reached the gate, he raised his sword.
‘So overwhelmingly that you can’t even think of resisting.’
The moment the will arose, another force core popped out from among the six force cores located in the heart.
Ugh.
A level that rises in an instant with him. Feeling an explosion of power, Logan took out a secret weapon that he had just become accustomed to using.
Six types of divine sword secrets.
‘Splitting the root, widespread unfolding, transformation, collapse of the universe!’
Cooung.
At that moment, a small golden ball originating from the tip of Logan’s sword struck the castle gate, and a golden wave spread out in a radius of several tens of meters centered on the point of impact.
Wooooow.
Grrrgggggggg.
Rumble!
The western gate and walls of Juan Castle, enveloped in golden light, collapsed with a loud roar.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Demon magic!?”
“No way!”
Kwaaaaang!
The only ones who can at least be surprised by the fall are the knights.
Most of the soldiers who were firing crossbows on the castle wall lost their command in an instant.
It was the magnificence of the sword master who stuck out his tongue and said that it was comparable to the now out-of-date great magic, and that a castle without magic would never be able to withstand it.
“Hahaha! As expected, you are amazing, Your Majesty! Truly the king of superhumans!”
To Logan’s left, a giant with red aura wrapped around him like armor jumped into the collapsed castle wall with an exclamation.
“Everyone stick your necks out!”
The silver storm could not keep up with him and began tearing through the castle.
And half a beat . Lately, dozens and hundreds of liberatios began pouring into the inside of the castle wall.
Kwaaaaaaa!
Boom!
Quaaaaaang!
“Aaaaaaaaa!”
“Save me!”
The whole body of the enemy troops, whose ranks had already collapsed due to the pouring offensive, was in full swing. 500 knights clad in red, yellow, blue, and white lights rushed in.
They were the Royal Knights, clad in armor like armor with all the magic bestowed by the 300-strong magic corps.
“Punish the traitor!”
“Accord to His Majesty’s will! ”
“Glory to McLane!”
The knights of the noble allied forces, who were twice as many in number, were already losing their morale due to the rush of superhumans and the subsequent offensive. The
royal guard rushed in half a beat behind them, with the powerful force destroying them in half. A pitch-black rain of quarrels poured down.
“Aaagh!”
“Run away!”
“Save me…!”
The noble allied forces were completely devastated.
In that overwhelming scene, the aftereffects of the trait expression were resolved later than expected. Logan raised his sword again and shouted,
“Everyone, drop your weapons and surrender!”
The loud shout that filled the castle through the chaotic battlefield announced the victory or defeat of the war, which was decided in an instant.
