The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 199

Episode 199

“Huh. The external barrier is blocked? “What on earth are wizards doing?”

Even No. 3, who had remained calm, burst into anger.

“…It is clear that there is a Sage-level (Circle 7) wizard on the enemy side.”

When the 5th Circle wizard in charge of magic said, distorting his face under the hood, Number 5 scoffed.

“so? “How necessary it is to break through the barrier again!”

“You need to earn at least 30 minutes. And even if the barrier is opened, it won’t last long.”

“30 minutes? It doesn’t mean you have to break through all the barriers, right? “It’s big enough for a couple of people to pass by, so solve it as quickly as possible!”

“…I’ll hurry.”

With the situation like this, there was no time to worry about his subordinates.

Isn’t it true that they can plan for their future only if they survive first?

“What are those razor-sharp bastards? “The flow has been interrupted!”

Number 9, who jumped into the battlefield first and had blood all over his side, returned with a rotting expression.

Judging by the fact that there were scratches here and there on the armor, it looked like it had suffered quite a bit.

The moment when No. 9, who heard that the escape route was blocked, glances around the battlefield.

Cooung. Clap.

At the same time, Todd Ryan’s large, crumbling fuselage caught their attention.

“Fuck you. The information is completely different, right? “Raul, didn’t you say that that brat is definitely at the upper level?”

There was a lot of information about Raoul’s state.

In the first place, even if you reach Expert level at the age of 16, you are called a genius, so how can you easily believe information about the Expert level or the highest level?

I don’t know if there were any proper videos or agents who encountered it in person, but for some reason, when agents were deployed only near the First Viscounty, news was cut off.

Inevitably, information observed from very far away or collected through a different route once or twice was often severely distorted.

“That’s true, but what are all those armor users and expert knights? “What on earth is going on in the First Viscounty?”

The First Knights and elite cavalry, wearing white armor and blue capes, stood out clearly on the battlefield.

The number of armor users alone was over 200, and the number of knights using mana blades (actually including elite cavalry) was over 500.

The remaining 600 people were also wielding mana swords, so how could they not be amazed?

“…The tide has already completely turned. “You want me to last 30 minutes in this situation?”

Honestly, No. 5 couldn’t believe this situation.

There are 250 drivers alone.

3 Demon Beast Soldiers, anti-master weapons.

About 600 Type 2 and 3 cavalry, equivalent to knights.

1,500 Type 1 horsemen and other troops.

We could confidently say that this was a greater force than the attack on the palace last year.

But what is the reality?

The Type 1 cavalry was being cut down without any effort, like a child caught in an adult fight.

Although there were close to 900 imperial knights and type 2 and 3 horsemen, the number of enemy knights was actually greater.

And the most decisive thing is the difference in the number of armor users.

We mobilized as many as 150 armor users, but…

‘Fuck you. ‘Why are there so many armor users?’

The number of armor users mobilized by the enemy in this small battlefield was at least 500 – 200 from the First Knights, 250 from the Earl of Ashton, and 50 from the Marquess of Greer.

The agents and horsemen have already activated the brand (black tattoo, level 1 engraving), and some of the knights have even mobilized the emblem (red tattoo, level 2 engraving).

Otherwise, the empire side would have been wiped out already.

“Is there some way? “If things continue like this, we have no choice but to turn to ashes here.”

At No. 3’s urging, No. 5’s head rolled quickly.

“Tsk. You two, take care of yourselves. “I’ll take care of it myself.”

Number 9 licked the blood on the side with his tongue and rushed towards the battlefield again with bloodshot eyes.

No. 3 No. 5 No one stopped him.

‘It will buy me some time.’

‘You look like a stupid bloodsexual…’

“Let’s put an end to this situation.”

No. 5 clicked his tongue and looked somewhere on the battlefield with a meaningful expression.

The place where the human mana bombs are gathered.

* * *

Chang! Teudong!

“Don’t back down! Mark it clearly to prevent enemies from approaching!”

The area near the temporary barrier, which had been a relatively quiet place until a while ago, has suddenly turned into the most intense battlefield.

The Empire’s reinforcements and elites were openly targeting this place, and the First Knights were thoroughly protecting the barrier.

Before he knew it, Ken was wearing power armor and furiously taking out enemies.

Marquis Greer’s spear technique [Fury Wave], restored in her hands, was shining brightly in this complex melee.

Long-distance attacks using long spears were not allowed beyond a certain distance.

In addition, since it is a spear technique that includes a lot of area-effect techniques with strong destructive power, there are many cases where enemies that were approaching to avoid her are also caught up in it.

‘Whoa, they seem like tough guys!’

The unfortunate thing was that, except for regular horsemen, it was not easy to defeat the enemy at once, no matter how many mana blades they had.

Horsemen with the brand activated will continue to charge even if their limbs are cut off, unless their heads are accurately destroyed.

Moreover, the Imperial Knight who activated the Crest was able to withstand her attack by utilizing his amplified physical abilities and mana even though he was not an armor user.

It might have been a one-on-one battle, but since I was holding my ground to protect the barrier, I couldn’t track down the enemies and finish them off.

“Ha!”

Gurgling! Pow!

Of course, anyone who charged at her head-on without knowing what to do now would have their head exploded by her powerful spinning thrust.

But then a commotion arose behind the imperial army.

bang! Knock knock!

A group of knights were approaching, crossing the imperial troops surrounding the barrier.

‘this!’

Ken noticed the blue armor visible among the enemies and hurriedly ran toward the enemy lines.

The knights dangerously crossing the enemy lines were the knights of her family, the Marquis Greer.

“Whoa, thank you. “Thanks to you, we arrived safely.”

The person who expressed gratitude on their behalf was none other than Ken’s older cousin, Fisher de Greer.

He was accompanied by about 10 knights, and because they were all of intermediate level or higher, there seemed to be no major injuries.

“But why did you come here, even though you had to cross the enemy lines?”

“His Excellency the Marquis sent support saying that protecting the barrier is important. And he asked me to find out something from the tattoo knights inside the barrier.”

Meanwhile, the knights who followed Fisher entered the ranks of the First Knights forming a protective circle and joined the ranks.

Ken felt a little puzzled, but nodded.

Since the situation was favorable to the allies, it was only possible to invest the remaining power into protecting the barrier.

But going inside the barrier was different.

After protecting all the knights and guests to be quarantined, the barrier was completely blocked.

Approval was required for additional personnel to enter, and it was Ken who had the code.

“Is that business very urgent? “At this rate, I don’t think the battle will be long.”

“It seems like the drivers outside the stadium are worried. “This place has been cleaned up, but there are still many tattooed knights outside.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

A fight was taking place not only here but also outside the stadium.

They also had to resolve the potential bomb issue that remained between them.

“wait a minute.”

Ken took over the defense and slowly walked towards the barrier.

* * *

‘This bitch has a lot of doubts. ‘I thought I was failing.’

He’s my cousin who I used to love, but the current shitty situation has brought me curses.

Fisher walked behind Ken with a friendly smile.

It wasn’t that far, but it was enough to briefly recall the complex situation.

5 years ago.

Some time after Sean, the marquis’ heir, went missing in the dungeon.

They made contact in a chaotic atmosphere.

I didn’t know their identities from the beginning.

Because it was a family member, not an outsider, who made the suggestion in the first place.

After accepting it, he was able to achieve rapid growth thanks to invisible support and procedures.

Eventually, he caught the attention of the Marquis and became his disciple, and has now established himself as a strong candidate for successor.

The problem started just a few months ago.

Probably after the end of the civil war of the Earl of Ashton.

Sponsors’ behavior has changed.

According to the original plan, the plan was to gradually undermine the Marquis, and then completely take control of the Marquis after he became the successor.

But suddenly the plan was moved forward.

He was against it, but after meeting Kaylee, even he became impatient.

It occurred to me that I might lose the position of successor to her.

The plan seemed to be successful.

Once the reinforcements arrive and deal with the marquis and his main forces, the survivors – who had planned to secretly escape the barrier – would end up taking control of the marquis.

‘…But what kind of fucking situation is this? ‘Raul, what is that bastard and why is the Ashton family suddenly appearing?’

Thanks to this, he became a throwaway card.

‘You bastards!’

Fisher was a master sorcerer with the power to explode knights tattooed on the Marquis of Greer.

Using that authority, he captured or dealt with some of them and built up considerable power.

However, on the other hand, he was also an ‘imprinter’ who received tattoo treatment.

Of course, there was a magician with higher authority than him, and he had just received an order from him that was no different from a threat.

– Enter the enemy’s simple barrier, explode the engravers, and take key characters hostage.

‘It’s no different from telling me to fucking die.’

Even if you enter the barrier, how can you get out alive when all the human mana bombs explode at once?

Moreover, even if he survives, the moment his identity is discovered, not only the Marquis but also the entire Kingdom of Ruben will pursue him.

But he had no choice.

If he doesn’t follow orders, they’ll blow him up right away.

‘Do you think I will be treated so vainly?’

I came close to the barrier as they said, but I had no intention of following their words.

If he could enter the inside of the barrier, he could escape the high-ranking magician’s self-destruction order.

It’s hard for them to survive anyway, so what can they do if they hold out inside the barrier until the battle is over?

If he survives and they are wiped out…

‘That’s actually a good thing. As long as my identity is not discovered, I will be able to break off ties with them and confidently obtain the marquis.’

Thinking like that made me feel at ease.

Just when I was thinking that it would be better if, if possible, Kaylee fell in the middle of the battle right in front of me.

“The barrier entrance has been opened. “Quickly get in before the imperial bastards do anything.”

A translucent emerald hole appeared in the air.

“thank you. “I will finish my business quickly and return to the battle.”

That’s when Fisher put his hand into the hole with a meaningful smile.

It’s a joke!

“Kwaaaaaak!”

A pure white flame started from his fingertips and climbed up his arms, burning up to his shoulders.

Ken, looking at that scene, bit his lip and pointed the spear at him.

“I couldn’t believe it, but I never thought you were a traitor!”

“Atte, oh, it’s a misunderstanding! “I don’t know what this is, but please do something!”

“It is a special magic circle created to respond only to the dark magic energy of the empire. “If you are not a traitor, put down your weapon and take off your armor right now.”

Of course, this magic circle was a collaboration between Raoul and Ravel.

There was no way Raoul, who had enough experience with the Imperial Hound’s dirty tricks, would have left this important barrier unattended.

“Ke Kayley. I’m not a traitor! And now is not the time! You have to get me into the barrier quickly before they notice!”

Fisher’s voice was so urgent.

If they find out that the operation failed, they will definitely use him as a bomb.

The reason why he was sent with ten knights was because, just in case, they planned to explode together and shake the barrier from the outside.

“I’m sorry, but you can never enter the barrier.”

But there was no way Ken would let him in.

And that was the end of it.

Again.

‘Oh, no!’

A signal came on from an invisible switch, and his heart began to pound rapidly.
