Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 173 Chapter

56 Iron Wall

Ampere stood in front of the barrier after confirming that Sylvain was rushing with the knights.

The moment Ampere came into view, the monsters’ eyes changed. The approaching speed has clearly increased.

“Hmm do you want to kill me?”

Ampere did not come forward just to show off his strength. He wanted to confirm whether the currently invisible commander really existed.

If there is really something that is commanding the monsters right now, there is no way they would allow Ampere, who can be said to be the center of this barrier, to come out alone.

And just as he expected.

Kiek!

Kieeeeek!

All the footsteps of the monsters that seemed to be causing an earthquake were directed at Ampere. It wasn’t simple attraction. All the monsters rushed towards Ampere, clearly aiming for him.

“There’s definitely someone giving orders.”

Ampere placed the tip of Gram’s blade on the floor.

He literally drew a diagonal line in the air as a test.

Suddenly.

The head of the leading monster far away was cut off. The brief killing ended only after cutting down a few more animals behind them.

I didn’t care if it was covered in black water or anything. Ampere’s sword split evenly everything it touched.

His head tilted.

“At this point, I don’t know how hard that black thing is.”

Ampere lifted the sword horizontally this time and slightly flinched. A horizontal slash emanates from there.

And this time, the upper and lower bodies of the monsters that were still far away were separated.

It didn’t seem much different from the tragedy just before, but Ampere nodded.

“The black part is definitely cut a little later.”

I wish I knew that.

Ampere’s sword swung repeatedly as if he had made such a declaration.

The monsters steadily gathered together to kill Ampere. Their speed increased and they came towards Ampere like a wave.

…However, it still seemed distant that the distance would decrease.

“…Me”

Meanwhile, a soldier watching from the wall opened his mouth.

“What is that? “What are you doing, matriarch?”

“What are you doing? “You’re cutting down monsters.”

The superior next to me spoke calmly.

“I cut it…”

The soldier stopped talking and looked at Ampere again. The sword he wields cuts down monsters from a long distance away. Even if you wash your eyes, you will definitely see it. His senses were not dulled.

“That’s not an Auror, is it?”

If that thing had been an auror, releasing sword energy to cut down monsters, the soldier wouldn’t have been so surprised. Of course, he must have been impressed by the incredible level of aura and sword energy that cut down even the monsters behind him without losing his momentum even from a long distance.

However, Ampere was not using Aurors. I just swung the sword, but the head of a distant monster that seemed to have nothing to do with anything was blown off and split left, right, top and bottom.

‘Besides, if that’s an Auror, there would have to be some time to reach it, but that’s not the case.’

It was as if he had cut down the monster in front of him.

Ampere’s sword instantly killed the monster.

“What are you new?”

“I am not new to the city. “But this is my first time seeing the head of the family fight.”

“Well, you haven’t been participating in battles much these days. For the training of the Roach Knights and soldiers.”

At those words, the soldier turned to the others. Although there were some who were as surprised as him, most were watching Ampere’s fight calmly.

“We don’t know for sure, but everyone is speculating that it might be divine power.”

“Magic power… I’ve definitely never seen that kind of skill anywhere.”

Is it even possible to understand if it is a divine power?

…I don’t understand what kind of god it is and what kind of power it gives you to become like that.

“Do you think the drivers know? “That technique of the matriarch.”

“Well, the head of the family is very quiet. “At least I’ve been talking to Leader Sylvain for a while, so he might know?”

The soldier listened to the story blankly and watched Ampere.

The saying “Ikkidangcheon”. Of course I thought it was an exaggeration. The position that can kill the most enemies in this era is, of course, the wizard.

However, it is not easy to kill a thousand magicians at once, and sufficient troops must be secured to protect the magicians.

However, the current Ampere has already annihilated hundreds of enemies by himself without any injuries.

Of course, it was a monster, but it would have made a big difference even if there were humans among the enemies.

“The matriarch’s nickname is ‘Iron Wall,’ right? “The Roach Knights and we initially disliked it because it was too plain.”

“…I did. “An iron wall that does not allow even a single intrusion.”

“But these days, it seems like we’re getting along again.”

The superior checked Ampere’s appearance and his surroundings.

Ampere standing in front of the wall. The monsters are pouring in like a flood, but they cannot shorten the distance.

And countless corpses piled up in the meantime.

“What should I do to avoid damaging the wall?”

“…!”

Prevents enemies from even touching the wall.

That’s why it’s an iron wall.

* * *

“As expected, you are the head of the family.”

Sylvaine led the knights and rode to the right to check the situation.

When the monsters all flocked to Ampere, I was momentarily worried, but that was because it had been so long since I had seen Ampere fight. It was truly a feeling of old age.

“If things continue that way, it will end without incident.”

“No, there is no way the enemy commander would leave it alone.”

Ampere is not an opponent that can be defeated by pushing numbers. At least they must have the fortitude to withstand that sword a few times, move at very high speed, or have a means of keeping them in check from a distance.

Then, as hundreds of people die, it will be enough to swing a sword at Ampere.

“Now the monsters lack the means. “We will definitely take different measures.”

“What do you mean by other measures?”

“It means giving up on the head of the family.”

Sylvaine nodded.

Soon the commander would abandon the idea of killing Ampere. Instead, they will push the monsters towards the barrier as originally planned. Even that cannot be prevented by Ampere. They are on the ground and sometimes fly in the air. From there, the real battle begins.

“We need to check their concentration point before too much damage is done to the wall.”

Even considering the black monsters that suddenly appeared, there were too many monsters in this battle. There must have been a place where they gathered a long time ago.

“In front of the leader!”

A knight looked straight ahead and shouted. I discovered the tail of the procession that had not yet reached the monsters’ front line.

“knife! from now on!”

At Sylvain’s cry, the knights’ swords pointed straight ahead.

Whoop!

The monsters belatedly confirmed the appearance of the knights. While they were hurriedly forming their ranks, the knights’ aurors surrounded themselves and the entire horse.

After narrowing the gap, their aurors overlapped each other, turning into one giant auror.

To the monsters, it was already a huge catapult coming at high speed.

Bub bub bub!

Small ones were blown away by the aura, and huge ones as tall as cavalrymen were killed by the firing swords.

Immediately after the collision, the knights changed direction and decapitated the remaining monsters. The monsters were beaten one-sidedly and had to watch the cavalry run away without even being able to use a single move.

“First, get out of their sight and then chase this tail! Take a detour!”

“yes!”

The knights increased their speed even further and ran in the reverse direction from which the monsters came. Not all monsters were coming in this procession, but a strange number was definitely being added from some direction.

‘At this rate, there must be an absurd number of people in the main base.’

Sylvaine had a hunch. If we find out where this number of people are coming from, we need to check their location first and then go back.

Above all, this is the realm of monsters outside the barrier. The deeper you go, the more difficult things will come out that are difficult to handle.

Sylvain moved forward while checking the retreat route. I watched the procession of monsters coming from the high ground and moved forward while maintaining an appropriate distance.

‘Okay, their numbers are increasing. It was then that the direction was right

.

Oh my!

A crow flying above the knights croaked.

Of course, the sounds of many animals blend together in this forest, but this crow’s behavior was strange. When a large number of humans ride on horseback, the savage creatures from the forest fly over the cavalry.

‘What is this crow?’

Moreover, if you look closely, you can see that he is holding something in his mouth.

“her?”

As Sylvain was paying attention, wondering what the crow was doing, the crow ended up sitting on Sylvain’s shoulder.

“…Note?”

The crow that came close was holding a small piece of paper in its mouth. Only then did Sylvain realize that the crow was someone’s taming.

Sylvaine picked up the paper that the crow had bitten. Unfolding the crumpled paper took quite a bit of time.

I tried my best to spread it out, but there weren’t many letters inside.

Those few words

[Ambush alert]

“…!”

After reading it, Sylvaine’s hair turned white for a moment. Then, for a moment, goosebumps appeared all over my body and I quickly shouted.

“All troops stop!!”

Following his words, the Roach Knights stopped. Everyone was suspicious of the leader’s orders, but their movements were immediate.

Sylvaine checked the surroundings while calming the horse’s furious nod that had suddenly stopped.

‘One road leads to their base and is relatively clear, and both sides are full of trees.’

I didn’t notice at first. This road is not like a well-maintained sidewalk, but rather a road that you can literally walk back and forth on. A natural path where something has walked and passed by.

At first, I thought they had made their way through the forest a little too hard, but before I knew it, they were following this natural path and heading towards them.

…Since when has this road been like this?

‘…It’s definitely a good place for an ambush. No, it looks like a place made for an ambush.’

The neighing of the horses stopped, and deep silence fell in the forest where the hooves stopped.

The sound of the wind passing through the trees tickled their ears. Other knights also knew Sylvain’s intentions and kept an eye on the forest.

…There is no sign of a monster.

“I understand what you mean, Captain, but you are being too cautious…”

The knight next to him spoke carefully to Sylvain.

They are now dealing with monsters. This is not a fight against humans. Humans would lure the enemy, ambush them, hide their energy, and take action without being detected, but monsters cannot do that.

Even if it is okay to hide the flag, the majority cannot unite to ambush.

However.

“…What they showed us today far exceeded the monsters we already knew.”

“….”

The Roach Knights are clearly accustomed to fighting against monsters outside. To be exact, in the fight in front of the barrier.

Although he is quite intelligent, he is ultimately a monster. I had become accustomed to his own strategy and was able to gauge how to make judgments.

However, you should not trust that judgment today. Because something unexpected happened from the beginning of the battle.

‘I don’t know if there really is an ambush. Even this note may be a ploy by the enemy.’

However, what is clear is that the few words written on this note awakened Sylvain’s loose mind.

“…I’m going back.”

“Captain.”

“We don’t know about them yet. The matriarch always said, There are monsters that surpass human intelligence. “It wouldn’t be surprising if I met someone like that today.”

“However, if we can identify their gathering point now, we can minimize damage to the walls and soldiers. “This battle won’t last long.”

Despite the knight’s strong persuasion, Sylvain firmly shook his head.

“Look at this road.”

“…!”

“If we were at war, if we were dealing with humans, this is a road we would never have taken.”

As Sylvain spoke, the knights saw a long road ahead of them. Slightly lower than the trees. A somewhat narrow but easy road to the enemy’s stronghold.

It’s a path that looks truly natural, but if you look up just a little, you can see the dense trees that completely block the view.

In war, there is no such thing as a ‘good situation that just happens to be in place’.

“Let’s go back. First, join the troops and finish the battle on the first day.”

“…yes.”

So the knights turned away.

Leaving behind the straight path that may or may not lead to an ambush.
