The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 216
Episode 216:
Temple entrance.
The Naga warriors were in an orderly formation.
As if there had been no battle at all, the area around the entrance was littered with the black blood of demonic beasts and the bones of undead.
“Sha. Warchief. continue. Just look at it. “Will you do it?”
“Sha. Warriors. Blood. want.”
“Sha. This place. Our. “It’s a sanctuary.”
Chiefs who were each head taller than ordinary warriors were talking around the great chief, Raknesha.
“Sha. wait. yet. Of promise. This time. No. “I didn’t.”
Raknesha spoke in a low voice as she watched the strange battle in the makeshift fortress continue endlessly.
Bull-headed monsters are constantly coming out of the dark gate.
And undead soldiers who keep coming back to life even after death.
The invaders, led by those two, were constantly attacking the barrier.
What blocks it are not human soldiers but strange weapons.
A large army of various weapons was formed in the sky, mechanically tearing apart the enemies crossing the barrier without any emotion.
Even the warchief couldn’t figure out what the meaning was of this exhausting battle that had already been going on for over a day.
All that came to mind was the conversation I had with the group of humans in the barrier the day before.
At that time, there was a lull in the battle and a fortress was built in an instant.
Warchief Raknesha visited the barrier accompanied by young warrior leaders.
They were concerned that a corps of weapons floating in the air might be targeting them, but they seemed to have recognized him as an enemy and were able to enter the fortress without much conflict.
There were two people who appeared as representatives of the human race.
Although he is not a tribesman, he is of acceptable height, and although he is fake, he has the arms of a warrior.
And it was a tiny little human, less than half his size.
“What is the Naga family doing here?”
The young human asked, but he ignored it.
Because it was best not to talk to the vile human race.
“Sha. His. Maintain. inherited. Human warrior. if. Him. Nam Ki-shin. Are there any words? Shaa.”
“Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to talk to you in person. And because I’m not good enough, I haven’t been able to properly collect his memories yet. However, it seems like I am vaguely feeling sorry for you guys.”
“Sha. “Is that so?”
It was unfortunate, but it was unavoidable.
It was their own fault for not being able to protect him at his deathbed.
“Sha. Human warrior. one thing. Make a suggestion. “I came to do it.”
“Please speak.”
“Sha. This place. From generation to generation. It was conveyed. Our. Holy place. dirty. invaders. We have to drive it out. do. Shaa. With us. hold hands “Why not?”
That’s how the temporary alliance was formed.
The humans said they would protect the barrier with their own strength.
They asked him to maintain his full strength and add strength when they counterattacked, and he readily agreed.
‘There is no need to shed the blood of our race in the fight between the cruel humans. If the barrier becomes dangerous, you just have to participate regardless of your promise.’
It seemed like a human guardian who showed tremendous strength and a warrior who had inherited his legacy would be able to endure to some extent.
But I never imagined that the battle would go that way.
“Sha. Warchief. Not really. With humans. promise. You have to protect it. “Do you do it?”
Although the chieftains continued to urge, there was no change in Raknesha’s thoughts.
And there was still not enough ‘advanced power’ to participate in battle right away.
I wonder if other warchiefs and warlords arrive.
‘If the humans can endure like this, there will be no harm. ‘It won’t be long before they arrive.’
When that time comes, there will be no room for humans in this sanctuary.
Excluding his successor, of course.
“Sha. That’s it. what.”
“Sha. The human race. To the sky. Flying. there is.”
When I looked up at the words of the chieftains, I saw three black shadows flying through the sky outside the temple.
The direction they are heading is towards the Empire’s camp.
‘It’s ominous.’
“Sha. bow.”
When he held out his hand, two tribesmen whined and handed him a large bow.
I’m sorry.
The four arms moved to pull the giant longbow string, which was equivalent to a ballista by human standards.
Paaaat!
And surprisingly, a red ‘aura’ was forming on the arrow made from the monster’s bones.
Fighting chemistry!
With a sound that was too loud to be considered an arrow being fired, a red beam of light extended towards the flying black shadow.
Quaaaang!
“Shaaa!”
The Naga family shouted.
This is because the warchief’s arrows have never missed the prey they were aiming for.
But Raknesha’s eyebrows twitched. And at the same time, his arm pulled the bowstring again.
“Shaa!”
Boom!
The second arrow he fired exploded in midair between the black shadow in the sky and the Naga camp.
“The welcome is rough.”
A wizard covered in robes and two knights in black armor standing in front of him.
One of the knights had a large bow in his hand, just like Rachnesha’s.
* * *
‘Sheesh. There’s no way it could end this easily.’
Raoul licked his lips with regret.
The Naga family chieftain I met the day before was at least Master level.
And the warrior commanders and chieftains he accompanied were of the highest level, ranging from expert level in human terms.
Nevertheless, the reason he did not participate in the war in earnest was probably because of Lawrence and his crew in the barrier.
‘I guess they just didn’t want to step out and become the target of the Empire’s superhumans instead.’
Although he seemed like a natural warrior, the warchief was clearly a man who knew how to use his head.
In any case, even if Lawrence and the crew had suffered, the final barrier would not have collapsed easily.
If the warchief and other elites and thousands of Naga families shared and protected the power of the barrier, it would have been difficult to attack with just one master and a 7th circle necromancer.
Nevertheless, the seal of the previous life was completely broken.
‘In the end, it means that the empire has added the power to truly defeat the Naga family.’
It was fortunate that their reinforcements got into trouble with the Naga family first, but they could have ended up in trouble.
Clink ding ding ding.
Raoul shouted as he struck the warning bell on the watchtower.
“emergency! Everyone ready for battle!”
In order to deal with the superhumans added to the empire, it could have been necessary to rely on monsters.
After a full day of rest, the members of the exploration team had almost recovered from their injuries and had fully replenished their physical strength.
If there were fifty of them, they would be able to block all enemies except master level ones.
‘I wanted to deal with him in a more prepared state, but I can’t help it.’
First, hold on inside the barrier, if the situation allows!
Raoul checked the system window with sparkling eyes.
* * *
“Hey you idiots.”
Ezekiel clicked his tongue.
You just can’t avoid the eyes of monsters.
Isn’t this the same as advertising everywhere that reinforcements have arrived?
“A surprise attack… would be difficult.”
McClanahan also shook his head as if he was disappointed.
pop! Pubbung!
The reinforcements flying over the temple exchanged auras (arrows containing aura) with the Naga Warchief until the moment they arrived at the main base.
Tadat.
The wizard’s flight spell dissipated and the three stepped onto the floor.
“AC, what is this? “There’s dust on your cloak, right?”
An old man in his 60s with wrinkles frowned and grumbled.
He was Fry, a 7th circle wizard specializing in wind magic.
“Sir, how did this happen? “It’s already been over 15 days, and you still haven’t properly cleaned up the monsters, let alone the barrier?”
“Shut up, X amount of food without X amount. “You can start with me.”
The name of the knight who shoots Ezekiel with a rotten smile as soon as he sees him is Stanton.
Like Ezekiel, he was a top level demon and a beginner sword master, and he was also a senior and junior who graduated from the same educational institution.
“It’s mine, so no one should touch it.”
Bryce, a knight in black armor, flicking his empty bowstring and looking dissatisfied.
He was also a beginner archer and, unusually, an archer who had reached the level of a master archer.
“Now that we’re gathered, let’s start with the meeting.”
McClanahan comforted those who arrived and headed to the temporary barracks.
The five superhumans of the empire gathered in one place.
There are three masters and two 7th circle wizards.
Even if some of the superhumans are less skilled, the superhumans are still superhumans.
Considering the number of people alone, it was a splendid composition comparable to the superhuman power possessed by one kingdom.
Just by looking at the fact that this much force was dispatched to a detachment rather than the main unit, one could guess how great the empire’s potential was.
Just like that, an enemy that could threaten Raoul and the special exploration team finally appeared.
* * *
The simple fortress installed in the barrier was under attack from three sides.
I wonder what it meant because it wasn’t that wide, but being completely surrounded and having one side empty feel different.
‘The Naga family’s formation arrangement is helpful.’
Thanks to the Naga family occupying one entrance, the scope to protect was reduced.
furthermore.
Sigh~ Pow! Quagwang!
The Naga Warchief and the Empire’s Bow Master were engaged in a long-distance sniping battle.
Red rays and black arrows collided one after another, shaking the battlefield.
At first glance, it seemed like it had turned into a battle of pride.
If you see that both of them are not paying attention to anything else and are only shooting arrows at each other.
‘Thank you. Thanks to this, there is one less superhuman to deal with.’
Whether intentional or not, it was a huge help.
Raoul, still standing on the watchtower, turned his head and looked to the left of the fortress.
“Half monster! Let’s see the winner this time!”
“Win? The guy who has turned his back on me so many times is so shameless. “People without skills always say things like that.”
“shut up! “A fake master who just borrowed the power of a monster!”
Quang! Chang Toukang!
Ezekiel and Lawrence faced off again.
Ezekiel’s spirit was unusual, as if he really wanted to see the end, but Lawrence’s skills in recovering his stamina and realizing the guardian’s heart were also formidable.
Meanwhile, on the right side of the fortress, the Empire’s new Master Stanton and Kane Jakes clashed.
“Kkekekeke, are you guys? Two idiots who begged for one Ezekiel. Rest assured. Unlike others, I don’t have a hobby of playing around with weak guys. “I’ll finish it right away!”
“You kid talks a lot. Shut up and attack! why? “Are you scared?”
“what? “You half-civilized idiot!”
Stanton could not resist Jake’s provocation and charged at him, infusing his two javelins with aura.
Peeing! Paba babang!
The two short spears moved at incredible speeds, creating dozens of black spear images.
But here was Kane.
Two hunting knives with green auras were moving like agile swallows, cutting off the black spears one by one.
“Ha!”
And the huge Auror blade created by Jake, who trusted Kane, struck Stanton’s side.
Tongue.
“Tsk.”
Before I knew it, Stanton, whose face was covered in red tattoos, had very lightly deflected Jake’s attack with the tip of his javelin.
However, Jake, who had already expected this to happen, took advantage of the bounce and swung the great sword again.
bang! Quagwang!
The weapon’s range was superior to that of Stanton, who held a short spear, with Jake’s greatsword.
Perhaps that’s why it wasn’t easy for Stanton to target Jake, and it was annoying that Kane, who had already gotten close to him, was swinging his dagger threateningly.
“These rats are real!”
Stanton yelled, but that didn’t change anything.
The battle between the three was also shaping up to be a very close match.
‘hmm. ‘Everyone is doing well.’
Even without Raoul, the Empire’s three masters were tied down.
That means.
This meant that Raoul should be in charge of the necromancer and wizard.
Quick and easy.
And at the front of the fortress, a completely different enemy was approaching.
The ones that have been attacking the barrier so far are low-level undead, like zombie skeletons.
But what do you see now? The thing is….
‘Ghoul Dullahan Death Knight. And that can’t be…?’
An undead army filled with high-class undead.
And standing in front, walking proudly, was a skeleton knight wearing thick bone armor and a cape.
Also, the ‘Skeleton General’, an undead of at least the rank of knight commander.
As if to prove it, the black Auror blade on the Skull Knight’s sword was burning.
‘That’s fun.’
Raoul smiled and jumped from the watchtower.
