Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 147

Clash (1)

Gaidar’s soldiers cling to the walls like a swarm of bees.

The pungent smell of boiling oil pouring towards them began to sting their nostrils.

Wow!

A scream that is difficult to hear comes from below.

A soldier falling while holding his melting face and men falling caught up in his struggle.

Although that scene was only a moment, it was also a moment that contained all the sentiments about war.

“shit.”

Cade had to shoulder the arrow again without even having time to wipe off the sweat.

His fingers were already full of calluses, but now red blood was flowing down his fingertips.

The intense sit-in that lasted for three days was harsh enough to peel off even deeply embedded calluses.

‘I think it would have been better then.’

Cade silently pulled out his next arrow, recalling his experience in the fog-filled village.

Every time an arrow left his hand, someone inevitably fell, but that only lasted for a moment.

5,000 people vs. 1,300 people.

The theory of strategy that a castle wall could handle three times as many troops did not apply in the current situation.

This is because this small castle wall was not originally built with the assumption of such a large-scale war.

Sigmund’s firm determination to capture Deermar at least for today was making the situation increasingly chaotic.

“Yes you bastard!”

While Cade was dazed for a moment, a hand suddenly popped out from an unattended ladder.

His blood-covered hands swept up the walls of Deermar and he succeeded in climbing up.

“You little raccoon. “I’ve been watching you since a while ago!”

A faint smoke-like thing was escaping from between the growling man’s left eye.

A person who has built his own world. Evidence for that.

It was an auror.

“die!”

“Ugh!”

Sigh-!

I did my best to block it, but in the end it ended up being a hole.

A strong wave coming from the hole began to pound violently towards Cade.

“You idiot! “You don’t draw your sword until the end!”

The cracks in the beam gradually spread along with the nameless knight’s sneer.

Cade’s pride and the foundation of the world he had built up so dearly were falling apart.

“After all, they are like those northerners who have no roots. “I can’t believe this half-penny is a knight and is making fun of me!”

A knight of Gaidar who despises himself for using a bow rather than a sword.

However, Cade’s struggles were still weak to remove his ridicule.

“Ugh!”

In the end, the bow was unable to withstand the blow loaded with aura and was torn apart.

The tip of the sword, which he could not block, grazed Cade’s chest.

“This was just a rumor, and the knights of the North didn’t say anything about it.”

The eyes of the unknown knight looking down at Cade were filled with joy that could not be hidden.

Proof of myself through the weak.

Because he had no confidence in himself, a world that he could only feel through others hovered at the tip of his sword.

“What is your name? “When we go, we have to speak to each other clearly.”

A knight of Gaidar spitting on a castle wall full of blood.

The tip of the knight’s sword began to tremble in anticipation of the red color being painted over it again.

“You asked what my name was. “You bow bastard.”

Cade is smiling for some reason even when he is facing death.

He was leaning against the wall with difficulty as he looked at the knight, his eyes looking slightly distant.

“Vlad of Shoara.”

“……what?”

I

asked a question towards the front, but the answer I heard came from behind.

The world begins to turn around with a cool answer.

From heaven to earth, from earth to sky.

The knight’s gaze, which was spinning around, finally captured the flag of Gaidar waving in the distance.

Cheolpuk-

“Cade. are you okay?”

“Hehehe…”

Cade, who was leaning against the wall, saw Vlad’s appearance and just smiled weakly.

“Go quickly. “Our side was also breached.”

“…The castle wall is too small. “It wasn’t a facility suitable for a sit-in protest to begin with.”

Vlad, who supported Cade, simply nodded quietly at his mumbling words.

Stefan and Vlad’s soldiers follow from behind.

One by one, Gaidar’s soldiers began to seep into the place where they retreated.

“Let’s join first.”

Vlad kicked the head of an unknown knight who was rolling on the ground from a distance.

Vlad didn’t ask his name until the end.

He just looked at Gaidar’s soldiers blocking his path.

Even now, the sound of ladders clinging to the castle wall was constantly ringing in Vlad’s ears.

※※※※

“The right wall has fallen! The Gaidar army is currently climbing the walls and coming to the gates!”

“The gates won’t last long. “Unless you destroy the car.”

Josef quietly closed his eyes and opened his ears.

I could tell without having to hear reports coming from all over the place.

A dull sound mixed with an ominous air.

It was the sound of Gaidar’s chariot continuously pounding on the gate.

“Are reinforcements always coming? “We lasted for three days!”

One of Hainal’s knights seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and threw a tantrum, slamming his desk against the castle wall.

His armor became sticky with the blood of his enemies.

It seemed as if Gaidar’s soldiers, who were constantly charging at him no matter how much he cut down, had eroded even his patience.

“You’re a little late.”

“…….”

But the voice answering his anger was so calm.

“I will give up the right wall. Destroy the stairs leading down into the castle.”

“but!”

“We will prepare for street fighting from now on. “We will set fire to the private houses near the castle walls as we have prepared.”

Even amidst the endless screams, Josef’s response was calm.

Josef Bayezid was a man who always prepared for the worst.

“Are you going to give up the walls?”

“I’m sorry. “Lord Duncan.”

Duncan just hung his head in response to Josef’s apology.

He wanted to say that he shouldn’t do that, but the old knight already knew that the situation was at its limit.

Anyone would have no choice but to step down in the current situation.

“This is what happens in the end.”

We must give up Deirmar.

Seeing the despair of the old knight who had protected Hainal all his life, the knights of Hainal also lowered their heads.

“……?”

At that moment, there was a faint sound lingering in Duncan’s ears.

A sound so low but deep that even he, who was deeply heartbroken, could understand it.

It was an unfamiliar sound I had never heard before on the battlefield.

“…It’s a tooth trumpet. “It’s made from the teeth of saber-toothed tigers that only live in the northern part of the country.”

“yes?”

Duncan’s eyes were wide open as if asking for further explanation, but Josef just sat down and let out a small sigh.

“I’m sorry. “I didn’t tell you because I was afraid the plan might get leaked.”

The image of a young man that I can finally see up close.

Fair complexion, darkened eye shadow.

It seemed like his struggle to appear calmer than anyone else was finally visible.

“……under.”

I’m so old.

Duncan, who had finally grasped the situation, quietly closed his white eyebrows.

How much have you endured?

For the certain moment to come, Josef had to take responsibility not only for the enemy’s attacks but also for the fears of his allies.

That was the weight of a commander and the duty he had to bear as Bayezid.

“Is it whiskey?”

“yes.”

No one from Hainal present here was angry at Josef for deceiving them.

Josef’s fingertips holding the canteen were trembling slightly.

The dark-eyed young man had clearly staked his life on the walls of Deremar.

“It was something I treasured, but luckily I was able to drink it alive.”

After all, heated wine or thin tea does not satisfy you.

This drink, which penetrates my throat and burns my internal organs, is the only thing that makes me feel alive.

Woo-woo-woo-

The sound of a trumpet can be heard from far away.

As the sound approached, the muddy air of the battlefield was gone and the cold northern wind was blowing in.

Josef raised a glass of whiskey that he had seen for the first time in a long time, accompanied by the familiar sounds of the North.

※※※※

“Hurry up and stick to it! “Climb up!”

The loser of the West howling fiercely.

Sigmund pulled out his sword and was shouting like crazy.

“I will personally kill the child who comes down quietly! “I’m telling you to stab something and come down!”

His blood vessels burst, his eyes turn red, and he runs around non-stop as if he has lost all respect.

By all accounts, he did not look like a noble nobleman, but even so, Sigmund had no intention of stopping.

“Today! “Within today we will get over this damn wall!”

Although it is not sophisticated, this is definitely one of the conducting methods.

Gaidar’s passionate, even crazy, gestures were clearly encouraging the soldiers harshly.

“done. it’s okay.”

Sigmund smiled brightly as he felt the momentum of the battlefield gradually increasing.

bang! bang!

The castle gate was weakly broken and the castle walls were already filled with their own soldiers.

This was it in the end.

No matter what kind of strategy genius comes, in order to suppress the opponent who is protesting, there is no choice but to force the soldiers in in the end.

And Sigmund was a man with a definite strength in the virtue of honesty.

“Be at the forefront. Son. “Go and build up your broken pride.”

“All right. father.”

At Sigmund’s command, Stephen began to breathe heavily.

Somewhere between tension and excitement.

His father’s command clearly spoke of a moment that Stephen had been waiting for a long time.

If the sword that was taken from me wasn’t there, I would even pick a forget-me-not flower.

“The gate has been breached!”

“good night!”

It was a siege that could last for over a year.

However, Sigmund was confident that he could capture Deermar, and he had strong soldiers who could back up that confidence.

“But even though you’re a kid, you persevered.”

Sigmund smiled deeply as he looked at the blackened walls of Deermar.

Although Bayezid’s efforts were made, the walls were not capable of withstanding 5,000 troops.

Although he would have had to resort to evil while waiting for his father who did not come.

“Knights, listen! “I will give 300 gold coins to the first person to cut off Josef’s head!”

As the golden promise began, cheers were heard from everywhere.

Sigmund’s voice, echoing with him, was clearly full of confidence.

“And to the one who brings Baron Alicia…”

But he could not finish his sentence.

Woo-woo-woo-woo-

A sound like an animal howling.

The chilling sound of the trumpet interrupted Sigmund’s words.

Everyone had no choice but to turn around at the sudden sound.

“……What is that.”

An unbelievable sight was unfolding there.

In the forest behind the formation they were in.

From there, soldiers began pouring out onto the black plains.

At best estimate, there were about 3,000 soldiers.

“No…”

Sigmund looked at that scene and his eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe it.

He quickly wiped it away with his hand, but his eyes were still filled with the soldiers standing firm.

“…You abandoned Sturmah?”

I thought it was a trap I couldn’t escape from.

But what was in front of them now was clearly the flag of those who should not be here.

“why?”

The North has been waiting for a long time.

A time when we can stand up proudly, overcoming discrimination, contempt, and constant checks.

The threats from Dragulia and Gaidar only served as a spark to hasten that time.

“Bayezid! Why Bayezid!”

Bayezid’s flag fluttering in front of me.

That flag was the North’s answer to the West.

The walls of Sturma, waving flags, were saying that we had been patient for a long time.

※※※※

“As expected, it’s a little late.”

Peter frowned as he looked at the charred walls of Deermar.

However, it was not too late, as the flag of Hainal was still waving at the highest point of the castle wall.

“You held up well.”

It was clearly unreasonable to make a detour with a large force of 3,000 troops.

But it was probably better than Josef, who was holding out there.

Peter smiled bitterly as he thought about his second son, who must have been struggling all along.

“Son. “Take the lead.”

“yes. father.”

Rutger raised the spear he was holding at Peter’s command.

Where the sharply raised window faces.

There, the formation of the Gaidar army was waiting with the back wide open.

“I won’t talk too much! My knights. “Show it to them!”

Deep anger slowly began to emerge from Peter’s black eyes.

Those who dare to insult me, insult my wife, and harass my son.

Peter’s coldly forged anger was transmitted through Bayezid’s blood to Rutger’s heart.

“Who is Bayezid?”

Along with Peter’s command, the knights’ shouts began to ring out.

Bayezid’s cavalry begins to charge along the wide grassland.

The Gaidar army, which had finally seen them, hurriedly began to form a formation, but it was too late to stop the cavalry that had already begun to charge.

What is that!

Why are they behind us?

You can’t avoid it!

The front where hundreds of horses are charging.

Behind is a castle wall that has not yet been breached.

Rutger, who had his left eye closed, quietly flicked his spear with his finger.

“When you came in, you guys were on your own.”

A sound coming from the deep world began to spread through the tip of his spear.

Rutger smiled quietly, anticipating the destruction that would soon hang on the tip of his spear.

“But not when I’m leaving.”

Quaaaaang-!

Argh!

Gaidar’s soldiers were scattering like broken fragments.

The world of Rutger, which had split the hardest dragons, was rushing towards the Eagle of the West with fierce force.
