Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 392

Episode 392

“Long live His Majesty the King!”

“Long live McLane!”

“Please destroy the empire!!”

“Wow!”

Citizens cheered enthusiastically toward the hundred or so cavalry entering the eastern gate of Kyle.

“That person is His Majesty the King….”

“The queen next to you is also very beautiful.”

“The knights too!”

The King’s personal government’s efforts to overcome the country’s crisis could not help but provide hope to Kyle’s citizens.

– If the King comes here in person, there is a good chance of victory.

That’s what everyone thinks.

Naturally, the more anxious they were about the war news, the more eagerly they welcomed the king and his party.

‘That’s why this clowning is meaningful.’

Logan, who was answering the cheers of citizens at the front of the procession, turned his gaze to the side with a smiling face. He could see his wife, just like him, having a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth as she kept smiling.

It was a pitiful sight, but it could not be helped. Since all the vigilantes in the Midwest have already gathered in Kyle, raising the morale of the citizens will soon lead to an increase in power.

‘Just be patient.’

At least the moment he looked at his wife, he smiled sincerely, so he had no choice but to keep looking to the side in order to act at least a little more naturally.

Only after such an arduous march was Logan finally able to arrive at the inner castle.

“Fuhu, this is really bad.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty.”

“You had a hard time too.”

Logan smiled as he saw Jorge bowing his head as he handed him a glass of water.

“Aren’t you anxious?”

“yes?”

“All the reinforcements from the 4th and 5th Legions and the Kingdom Alliance were sent to the fortresses in the North and South, and only the vigilante force was summoned here. Are you feeling uneasy?”

People still obsessed with stereotypes still doubted the power of vigilantes. Moreover, information about the new five superhumans, including Eilen, Ronian, Victor Bourdel, and Victoria, was not yet released.

There is enough reason to be anxious.

however.

“Is that possible? Your Majesty is here.”

The top knight, who was once Wicken Kalia’s best manager, said that without a moment of hesitation.

Then a coughing sound was heard from behind him.

“Hum hum.”

A big man twitching the scar that runs from his right forehead to the top of his left lip. Next to him, a beautiful girl was looking into the distance and waving her hands as if she was ashamed of such a teacher.

“Haha, of course, it’s also because the wizards and magic troops of the Golem Tower are reliable.”

Looking at Jorge like that, Logan couldn’t help but laugh.

“The decision was made because of the structure of Kyle Castle, which can accommodate a much larger number of troops than recently built fortresses. As you may have guessed.”

The 2nd, 4th, and Liberty corps are stationed at Fort Shield in the north. Superhuman strength was deployed by his teacher, swordsman Bourdel Luther Kyle, and Gunther Liberty, the archduke of Liberty.

At Fortress Armor in the south, the 3rd Legion, 5th Legion, and Teronan’s forces will join forces to stop the Imperial Army. The superhuman powers are Ronian, Victor Wicken Callia, Terronan’s impregnable Latin Lawrence, and the sorcerer Gustav Clemens.

And, judging that Armor lacked the powerful power of Master and himself, ‘Tir’ followed behind Ronian.

Otherwise, the ghosts that appeared in the training hall would have been bitten by Tyr and died as soon as they entered the palace.

– Serenity. boring.

Looking at the scenery reported by Tyr, the southern fortress was still quiet.

‘It will start from here.’

Kyle Castle, which will probably be the first battlefield, will be joined by the 1st Legion, the Magic Corps, and nearly 300,000 vigilantes.

‘The superhumans are me, Eileen Clayton, and Victoria.’

And the remaining 200,000 vigilantes will be in charge of security in the kingdom during times of war.

In fact, the kingdom’s troops were stretched to the limit and the troops were concentrated in three castles. All of this was done by referring to King Dongyik’s information (distribution of the imperial army’s superhuman power, etc.) and the opinions of his associates to project power in as balanced a way as possible.

Of course, considering the size of the vigilante group and the magic corps, there was a feeling that the troop deployment at Kyle Castle was a bit excessive.

– There is a mage of sword spirit and cold wind. Additionally, there is absolutely no information about the elites of the empire’s central army. So, even though the number is smaller than that of the North and South, the actual power may not be stronger, or it may be significantly stronger.

Damian’s opinion was sufficiently persuasive and that is why the troop deployment was completed this way.

Of course, there was one fatal problem with this arrangement.

“What about vigilante training?”

“…We are carrying out what you instructed. Adaptation is quick.”

“okay?”

“It may be a short period of time, but the order you gave is very simple, so I don’t think it will cause any problems. Of course, I don’t know what it will be like in practice.”

“I have to endure that much.”

I wasn’t instructed to do any groundbreaking or complicated training now. It was just basic training needed for actual combat, such as formal training to keep the ranks in a large army and training to retreat behind the walls when the enemy came up on them.

In fact, the vigilantes gathered from all over McLane were local men who had only been trained to use repeating crossbows. Of course, we had never trained assuming a large-scale battle. It will only do its job when the enemies are outside the castle, but if it becomes a melee, it is clear that it will be nothing more than a meat shield.

Logan’s instructions were nothing more than training, or even training, to minimize that weakness.

“What about the weapons?”

“Magazines and liberatios are accumulating at an alarming rate. Taren’s magic workshop said they will prioritize sending half of their production here.”

“…surprisingly?”

“Yes. If only they had produced it like this a long time ago…”

“There is a rumor that the screams of dwarves are heard everywhere in the magic workshop, Your Majesty.”

As Jorge continued speaking while laughing, an odd voice interrupted him.

“Lord Clayton?”

“I stopped by for a moment, but Hamar’s eyes were half-rolled. He said he had to protect ‘my country.’ It looks like there won’t be a shortage of consumable weapons for at least a while.”

“Is that Hamar? Huh…”

That human, or that dwarf, works hard on his own without supervision or greed? It was a story that was hard to believe.

‘What’s good is good.’

The absurdity left him speechless for a moment, but Logan didn’t care any more and just moved on. This was because the situation was not relaxed enough to distract from things that were going well.

“Where are the imperial forces?”

“I think it will be in sight within three days.”

“…The information is still correct.”

Logan thought of King Dongyik’s face again.

‘Are you really planning to betray the empire? ‘The king of all directions?’

Considering his status and the smiling face no matter what he said, I couldn’t trust him at all, but at least so far there were no mistakes in the information he gave me.

“Yes. So, why don’t you try implementing the plan I mentioned earlier?”

“Ah, you mean to cut off the empire’s supply lines?”

“yes.”

Jorge’s eyes were serious and his opinion was well worth considering. The information sent by King Dongyik even detailed the supply route for the imperial army.

However, that plan was an opinion that had already been expressed among close associates immediately after the empire’s declaration of war, and it was an opinion that eventually ended in being abandoned.

This was because the biggest problem could not be solved.

“The amount of supplies moving with the corps is enough to fight a battle for several days. But if we disperse our forces to attack the rear of the empire, will we be able to protect the castle?”

It is no exaggeration to say that in modern all-out wars between nations, the clash of monsters determines victory or defeat by the standards of ordinary people, such as knights and wizards, or auror users and magicians. The battle between the monsters, who jump over the high walls like stairs or completely destroy them, becomes a winner the moment they lean to one side.

Like the Grandia Civil War in the previous life, it was extremely rare for a war in one castle to last for several weeks unless both sides were extremely reluctant to expend all their power.

“A few days if we do our best….”

“Also, we have poured all our power into this war, but we are not an empire. The same goes for our resources. Even if we cut off the supply route, how long can we maintain it?”

“….”

“And above all, the biggest problem is that the ‘spy’s’ information still cannot be completely trusted. Although it has been accurate so far, there is no guarantee that it will continue to be accurate in the future.”

After building up as much trust as possible, they may tell lies at a critical moment. Due to the nature of the informant, the suspicion could not be separated, so it was something that McLane had to judge as carefully as possible.

Jorge’s face turned red at that harsh remark.

“I’m sorry. I was short-thinking…”

“I scolded you.”

Logan cut off Jorge with a sullen expression.

“…yes?”

“I’m saying that’s exactly what I was saying, and then I got yelled at by Damian. I said I didn’t have any ideas. So, it’s nice to meet you, comrade.”

“…yes?”

“Fuhahaha!”

A clear laugh erupted from behind Jorge, who was laughing awkwardly, and caught everyone’s attention.

Victoria lowered her head, covering her mouth with a red face. This time, the teacher looked down at his student with a pitiful expression and quickly lowered his head towards Logan.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

Eat.

“It’s okay. It’s fun for me too. Ah, Sir Jorge. Don’t be too disappointed, but if you have any opinions, please speak up at any time. Opinions for the good of the country are welcome anytime, anywhere. I’m sure you won’t be offended if you say you’re on the same level as me, right?”

“…Is that possible, Your Majesty? Rather, it is an honor.”

Jorge smiled and bowed his head at the king’s warm consideration.

“…The way you deal with people has become very gentle. It was wonderful and considerate, Your Majesty.”

As I left the office and was about to look around the castle walls, Clayton followed me and said that with a happy smile.

Logan looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Considering?”

“It was a consideration to maintain Sir Jorge’s morale… wasn’t it?”

“Ah…? Ah! Yes, that’s right. Consideration. Haha, that’s right. People have to grow up, right? You can’t treat people with greed or force forever, haha.”

Logan responded with a smile right away, but the initial silence was too long.

‘Did you really mean it!?’

For a moment, Clayton felt ashamed of himself for having rejoiced in the young monarch’s growth.

However, even as I thought about it, I felt that this young monarch’s obvious innocence was the charm of this young monarch, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.

‘I’m really possessed too.’

At first, he was simply trying to settle down by securing a stable source of income for his students’ future.

But how did that relationship end up here?

Perhaps because he was approaching a big war, Clayton became sentimental at the wrong time, but the young monarch seemed to have misunderstood his laughter.

“Is it true? That

was all done to make

Sir Jorge laugh out

of

consideration .” A figure began to appear.

“Oh, it’s coming!”

“It’s the Imperial Army!”

“Emergency!”

Kyle Castle’s morale, which had been soaring at the King’s residence, began to sink little by little the moment the Imperial Army’s flag began to be seen from across the field.

Silvery. Shining armor and brilliantly shining weapons.

The troops with golden dragon patterns engraved on their chests and shields did not show the slightest disorder even though the number exceeded 150,000. Even the knights and soldiers at the front were perfectly angled and had a constant posture. As they approached at speed, an indescribable force was felt.

“What are those strange things?”

“I feel bad…”

Murmurs were heard.

Ordinary soldiers expressed the pressure with displeasure, but all those with even a little bit of military knowledge I couldn’t help but harden my complexion.

‘How do I train that huge army to move in unison as one?’

Logan’s complexion could not help but harden at the movement that even evoked eerie fear.

“That is the Empire’s central army…” These

were the true elites of the Empire who did not appear in the previous life’s conquest of Grandia.

“That’s an amazing amount of training. No, that’s it. I doubt whether it can be achieved through training.”

“This is the enemy we must deal with.”

“Yes. Our preparations are not easy either.”

“Yes,

that’s right.” Logan took a deep breath at Jorge’s words.

Anyway, there was no way to back out now.

Or, perhaps, this was the moment he had been waiting for.

‘Finally…’

The family of his previous life. A turning point that collapsed and ruined the country.

A disaster that irrevocably confirmed the life he had ruined.

The opportunity to overcome that disaster with his own hands had come.

Logan felt his heart pounding so hard that even he could not understand it, and his hands were shaking. He grabbed the castle wall with his hands.

Kwajik.

The moment the wall, unable to withstand the pressure, crumbled in his hands. The

imperial army that had already approached the front reorganized its formation.

Seeing this, Logan shouted with all his might, filled with complex emotions boiling in his heart. .

“Logan McLane, King of McLane, challenges the Empire’s greatest sword, Tris Hornsby, to a one-on-one battle!”

Logan’s voice, full of force, went beyond the walls of Kyle Castle and shook the entire field.
