The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 197

Episode 197

Bang! Chaejaejaeng!

“Kill!”

“How dare the imperial bastards!”

Inside the stadium, a melee was unfolding to the point of complete chaos.

Armor users, including the Imperial Marquis, were already clashing with each other with their power armor activated.

“What a tough guy!”

“This will never end.”

The fierce battle between the demonic soldiers and the marquis and other elites continued.

There are three places that were not involved in the battle.

A sector of the stands where spectators are protected.

The stand where No. 5 and the raiders’ executives were located.

And it was the barrier area that Raoul was responsible for.

The reason the crowd was left alone was because it had nothing to do with the situation of the war, and the reason why the place where Raoul was was quiet was probably because it was difficult to easily touch him.

Okay. Push!

A horse soldier approaching the barrier had his head blown off by a Flying Aura Spear.

Shirrick! Seokyeong.

A horse soldier who jumped in from another direction was decapitated by a half-moon shaped sword and fell to the ground.

“Don’t let anyone get close! “Especially if it is an imperial soldier rather than a horse soldier, we must block it even more thoroughly!”

Josh, leading the escort, shouted with lights in his eyes.

Currently, 25 members of the First Knights, including Raoul Ken Joshi, were standing in a thorough defense near the barrier.

Also, there were some people who did not fit in among them…

“This is an opportunity to defeat the imperial bastards and raise the family’s honor! Everyone, make sure you don’t get pushed around by those Ashton guys!”

Haphael, the fourth son of Count Randall, had joined the defense line, accompanied by a dozen guard knights.

In addition, among the envoys from each family that visited to celebrate the Marquis’ birthday, knights of expert level or higher also drew their swords.

As a result, almost 50 knights of expert level or higher were gathered in front of the temporary barrier.

“Damn it, shouldn’t we join the Marquis too, Viscount Raoul?”

Rafael said with a slightly frustrated expression.

Although he was a member of the Randall family, he was not without circumstances.

He was polite enough to show respect to the younger Raoul, and was quick to grasp the situation to the extent that he joined Raoul without any hesitation after the Imperial Hound appeared.

‘If only really motivated idiots had gathered, the Randall family would not have become one of the five most prestigious families.’

I don’t like the idea of competing with the Ashton family, but the power they had was not a lie.

“You’ll still have to keep your position. “In some ways, this is the most important place.”

Raoul also accepted the words appropriately.

As he said, this might be the most important point on the current battlefield.

Inside the barrier, there were people who could become human mana bombs, but the nobles of each family who did not know how to fight or had poor skills were also avoided.

If the Empire’s magician approached and activated the mana bomb, it was natural that a major disaster would occur.

“And there hasn’t been any approval from His Excellency the Marquis yet.”

Maybe it was foolish, but there was something called the pride of a prestigious family.

Marquis Fidel tried to resolve the attack that occurred in Marquis on his own.

If there are any casualties among the guests involved in the battle, not only will the Marquis lose his reputation, but there may also be diplomatic problems.

Of course, the biggest reason was the confidence that the Marquis’ power was enough to stop the attackers.

“But what’s the use of protecting this place if you’re driven out on the battlefield? “It would be better to reduce the number of Empire bastards even a little before the balance collapses…”

Haphael seemed dissatisfied with the current situation.

In fact, the level of horsemen and imperial knights, excluding horsemen, was not very high.

All are from expert beginner to intermediate beginner level.

Of course, there was room for Rafael, an expert intermediate, to play an active role.

“If you wish, please join the battlefield. Am I not Baron Rafael’s superior? However, it looks like the Marquis still has some spare time, so I just think it would be better to save our strength.”

When Raoul told him to do whatever he wanted, Rafael just grunted and didn’t really jump out.

In an ambiguous situation like this, whoever jumps out first is bound to get caught.

Raoul looked at the battlefield with a bitter smile. Because that was just as frustrating.

‘Well, this balance won’t last long anyway.’

Just as their spare forces were gathered in front of the barrier, the Empire side also did not put all its forces into the battlefield.

In fact, several high-ranking imperial knights, about twenty ordinary knights, and about thirty magicians wearing robes were waiting around No. 5.

‘It seems like they really planned to take down the marquis.’

The level of power known so far was far beyond what one branch could possess.

The reason was unknown.

This is because in his previous life, Marquis Greer had never been attacked like this.

If I had to guess, I thought that since the operation against the Earl of Ashton had failed, the next best option was to target the marquess.

‘Maybe it’s because of Ken, who restored the Marquis’ spear skills…’

Anyway, the important thing was that they were confident enough to choose an all-out war.

At that time, guild communication came to Raoul.

“Master, we’re in big trouble! An explosion occurred in the marquis’ inner palace, and it appears that the place was the magic circle management office! Currently, some of the defensive magic covering Marquis Castle has been lifted, and portal magic is operating here and there!”

Kane reported in a slightly urgent voice.

However, Raoul calmly gave orders as if he had guessed it.

“is it. To determine the exact number of portals and the situation of infiltrated enemies. And link up with the Marquis’ external forces to reduce damage if possible. “I will join you as soon as the situation here is over.”

“Yes, Master!”

As soon as Kane’s report was over, changes came to the battlefield.

“Oh! “What is that?”

“How! Teleportation would have been prevented…”

The Marquis’ knights and guests began to become agitated.

Wooooow.

This is because three moving gates swirling with black mana had appeared behind the stands of the stadium where No. 5 was located.

“Puhuhuh khahaha! I never thought things would work out this way. Too bad, Your Excellency the Marquis. “I think the Marquis de Greer will have to close here today.”

No. 5’s light voice echoed throughout the stadium.

However, the content was not light.

Huh.

This is because the black liquid-like mass of mana began to stir and pour out something.

Quickly.

At the three gates, horsemen, wizards, and imperial knights appeared one after another.

And two more brass masks appeared.

“Zero never comes?”

“He said he didn’t think there was any need to reveal himself.”

Number 3, the person in charge of Marquess McNeil, answered Number 5’s question.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a master anyway, right? “It’s been a while since I’ll be able to taste blood.”

Number 9 twirled his side (a spear with a scythe) and smiled wryly.

In this way, a total of nearly 1,500 troops were recruited at the three gates.

There were 1000 Type 1 horsemen, 300 Type 2 horsemen, 150 Imperial knights, and about 50 wizards and agents.

What’s important is that the gate was still operating.

This meant that additional troops could be dispatched depending on the situation.

“Now it’s round 2! Wipe out all the nobles of that stupid kingdom!”

At No. 5’s shout, the newly appeared troops began to rush into the battlefield with shouts.

Needless to say, it was a crisis situation.

* * *

‘Well, it’s as expected.’

Raoul wasn’t particularly surprised.

I’ve experienced their methods so many times in my past life that it’s almost to the point of breaking my heart.

However, one thing was needed to take countermeasures.

‘Then shall we try to move slowly?’

Slurp.

Raoul put away the spear he was holding and pulled out the special sword that was tied to his waist.

The spear was convenient when forming a formation, but the sword was by far the best choice for Raoul to display his full power.

“I’ll leave it to Ken. Don’t let anyone get close to the barrier!”

“Yes Master!”

fault.

Raoul’s new model, which hit the ground with pride, flew tens of meters in an instant and struck Todrian’s battle ax from the front as he was swinging his weapon at the Marquis.

Whoa!

“Guoooo…?”

Todd Ryan’s arms holding battle axes were thrown high as if he was shouting a hurray.

Of course, Raoul, who raised his weapon, also frowned slightly at the rebound felt from the sword hilt.

‘As expected, it has some taste. Even if it’s unfinished, it still exerts this much power, right?’

Even though the power armor was activated, the heaviness felt was clearly that of a weapon exclusively for the Great Master.

However, Raoul’s real goal was not to deal with Tordrian.

“Your Excellency, I’m sure you are aware of the situation.”

The Marquis, slightly surprised by Raoul’s ability to push Todd Ryan away in one go, answered a beat late.

“…Of course. “I don’t have a reputation, but I have to lend my strength.”

It is meaningful only if the family’s prestige and respectability are maintained.

Now that enemy reinforcements had appeared at the gate, it was no time for the marquis to insist on dealing with the enemy alone.

Raoul nodded to the Marquis’ words and asked one more thing.

“If you don’t mind, may I ask you one more thing? “If you would give me permission, I would like to call in reinforcements.”

“Reinforcements? In this situation…?”

The Marquis was puzzled by Raoul’s words about calling for reinforcements now that he was stranded due to the barrier, but there was no need to worry.

“I will allow it. “No, rather, I ask you to do so.”

As No. 5 said, it was a crisis situation in which Marquis might have to close its doors.

Whoever it was, the Marquis would have no reason to refuse it.

“All right. “Please hold on for a moment.”

Raul, who passed Todd Ryan to the Marquis, walked towards the corner of the stadium and raised his spiritual power.

‘[Weapon Field] activated!’

Clap la la rock!

Hundreds of weapons poured out in an instant, erecting a wall of steel behind Raoul.

And as Raoul raised his mana, the steel walls soon turned golden.

‘Wipe it away.’

With Raoul’s small gesture, a wave of golden weapons poured out towards the enemies.

Kugwagwagwang!

Push bub bub buk!

“Huh!”

“What is this…!”

Dozens of the Empire’s cavalry knights who were fighting with the Marquis’ knights within a certain range were instantly ‘deleted’.

And while the bewildered knights of the Marquis were pushed to one side without realizing it.

「Space secured. Activate the label!」

「Okay. Open it right now!”

An emerald magic circle glowed from the floor and decorated the air.

Whiuuung.

And what appeared were two large teleportation gates.

‘An eye for an eye. Izzy.’

Reinforcements began pouring in from inside the gate.

“Master, are you okay?”

Philip was the first to come out of the gate, holding a great sword with a stern expression.

“Wow, what a mess!”

“…There’s a lot of game.”

Jake and Pierce also showed up.

Following this, Dalton, Homer Davidson, MacNeilon Alias, and other executives of expert level or higher, 300 knights of the First Knights, and elite horsemen equivalent to knights in training were entering the battlefield one after another.

And at another gate.

“Raul! “Are you hurt?”

Led by his eldest brother, Dylan, who immediately runs over to check on Raoul. “Hehe, I guess I can fight properly this time.”

“Insolent imperial bastards. “I won’t let even one of them live!”

Viscount Trevor de Hesse, commander of the Golden Bear Knights, and Baron Carlo de Ashton, commander of the Silver Bear Knights, appeared.

And following them, the Golden Bear Knights, the most elite knights of the Ashton family, as well as the Silver Bear and Iron Bear Knights, were crossing the gate.

Was this a very unexpected situation?

It was noticed that the imperial troops, who had been vigorously pushing the marquis, were hesitating.

“Proud warriors of Count Ashton and Viscount Raoul! Help our ally Marquis Greer and wipe out all the abominable dogs of the Empire!”

“Wow!”

The reinforcements summoned by Raoul ran out shouting shouts at the enemies.

With hundreds of armor users and more than a thousand elites joining, it was clear as to who would win.
