The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 222

Episode 222

Gooooo.

In front of Raoul and his group, three magic circles were waving.

It was a magic circle created so powerfully and complexly that mana flowed out even though it had not yet been activated.

“What do we do?”

“well. “I’m worried.”

The reason why Ravel and Raoul are worried about the magic circle.

That’s because this magic circle was a transmission magic circle created by imperial wizards.

“The destination is definitely near the ‘Wall’. “The signal has been coming in for a while now. What should I do?”

Regan, the wizard of the warrior party, asked in a very polite manner.

He had a rather stiff attitude, but the moment Ravel appeared, he took a low stance, making you wonder if he was the same person.

‘Well, to a 5th circle wizard, an 8th circle wizard would be like heaven.’

As Raoul surpassed the level, there were changes in the skill book.

Although the grade itself did not increase, the amount of mana and output did.

Thanks to this, Ravel can now use circle 8 magic.

It won’t be long until she regains her original state.

“Have you heard anything about the situation on the wall?”

Raoul asked, but Saint Kiera shook her head.

“no. “There was no special news until we left the forward base.”

It turns out that the saint’s party left Gamma’s advance base a week earlier than Raoul’s party.

‘We said we would hurry…’

Surprisingly, the saint’s group was said to have teleported from Viscounty Denis, where the accident occurred, to near the forward base Gamma.

I heard that it is almost impossible to teleport directly to Corpse Road due to various coordinate-disrupting spells and magical distortions…

‘Well, it’s not a warrior party for nothing. A wizard named Regan is no ordinary wizard either.’

In any case, it seemed difficult to obtain information that would be helpful to them.

“What are you worried about? Just by looking at it, it’s unlucky, so just grind it out!”

Jake said in frustration, but Raoul shook his head.

“Erasing the magic circle isn’t a task, but something strange happens.”

‘If I do it well, I think I’ll be able to draw something…’

Even though the sealing was finished, Raoul had not yet left the sealing station.

Although I achieved my initial goal of saving my brother, I was concerned about various situations.

Josh made an excuse and immediately went to pick up reinforcements.

Since there was a risk that our paths might cross, we decided to wait until he came.

In addition, treatment and physical recovery for the injured were also needed.

visor! Chaejaejaeng!

A sparring match was in full swing in the vacant lot next to the nearby camp.

His older brothers Lawrence and Kane were each carrying their own weapons and sharing the sword.

The second brother, Lawrence, cornered Kane with a greatsword in each of his four arms.

Surprisingly, the ones on the third and fourth swords were auras.

“Ha!”

And even though it was pale, a green aura was sticking out of Kane’s hunting knife.

‘This is so.’

Raoul felt full just by looking at it.

The three younger brothers, Lawrence Kane and Jake, were now just a few steps into the master’s level.

His actual level was at the highest level of Expert, but he was now able to handle real Aurors.

“Through a special experience, the use of aurors was imprinted on my body. “Sooner or later, you will naturally realize its essence and reach the level of perfection.”

That was the analysis of my teacher, Cárdenas.

‘If this continues, won’t Jake become Master before Sir Philip?’

That would have been a fun situation, but considering the discipline of the knights, it was a bit difficult.

Anyway, it was a happy worry for Raoul.

If we assume that all those at the highest level reach the level of master.

‘My father’s second brother, Sir Philip, and Jake Kane Pierce. Oh, my eldest brother wasn’t too far away…’

That alone was a whopping 8 people.

This is an enormous number for the power of one family.

It’s still not enough to discuss the entire continent, but if we only look at the Kingdom of Ruben, no one will be able to look down on them anymore.

If that happens, it will be able to seriously influence the direction of the scenario.

‘First of all, we have to solve the problem at hand.’

Raoul glared sharply at the three magic circles that had been blinking with black light for half a day already.

At that moment, I heard someone’s voice in my head.

“master! “Master, are you okay?”

Josh entered Geumyeok with reinforcements.

* * *

“Hey you bastard, the situation is over!”

“Ouch! ah! It’s unfair! “I hurried as much as I could!”

Jake said playfully, putting a headlock on Josh’s head.

Even if it wasn’t Josh’s words, everyone knew how rushed he was.

The distance to go back through Geumyeok, go through the dungeon, and get to the camp where the knights were waiting was no joke.

Raoul thought it would take at least a day or two longer.

However, the only ones he brought with him were the twenty members of the First Knights who had initially accompanied him.

“hmm? Is that all there is to the reinforcements? “You also took Commander-in-Chief Julius’ signal, just in case.”

When Raoul asked with a puzzled expression, Josh stiffened his complexion and answered.

“Master, we’re in big trouble! “Maybe now is not the time for this!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Empire! The Imperial Army has appeared in front of Forward Base Gamma!”

“…!”

The complexions of everyone in the command barracks hardened.

Several decades after the end of the Great War.

Although the Imperial Army had passed through Corps Road a few times, they had rarely been seen since the wall was completed.

“Tell me more! How long has the imperial army invaded? What about the base? “What about the barriers?”

“First of all, I only heard about it, but the size of the imperial army is at least 30,000! The Commander-in-Chief hastily sent a messenger to summon all troops from each nearby camp and dungeon to the base. “We were not part of the wall, so we were able to move separately, but due to the situation, we could not bring in other reinforcements.”

“More than thirty thousand…!”

The faces of Lawrence and the members of the special exploration team darkened.

It was the first time since the construction of the Wall that the imperial army had moved on such a scale.

“Are you really planning on starting an all-out war?”

It has already been more than thirty years since war between nations disappeared on the Connect Continent.

The weight of the word war made the hearts of those in the room heavy.

“Everyone calm down. As long as the wall is intact, there is no way the imperial army will attack from the front. Josh: Was there any talk about the Wall?”

“There wasn’t much to say until I left camp. However, there were rumors that if the imperial army’s offensive intensified, they might abandon all forward bases and retreat beyond the wall.”

“Abandoning the forward base?”

The horse was a forward base and was no different from a large castle.

How much effort had been put into securing that place amid the constant barrage of monsters and undead, and then giving up?

“The rumors are probably true.”

Lawrence said in a hardened voice.

“Not only the Imperial Army, but there was already a plan in place to abandon the forward base if the number of monsters became unbearable.”

If the special exploration team was unable to find and block the passageway connected to Geumyeok, a plan was also prepared to temporarily retreat to the wall.

“wait for a sec! So does that mean our escape route may be blocked now?”

Simar, the leader of the warrior party, asked with a puzzled expression.

“I can’t guarantee. And even if allies are resisting at the forward base, monsters will be the problem. “All the troops guarding the element would have withdrawn to the forward base.”

And there was a risk that the imperial army might occupy the road leading to the forward base.

Currently, approximately 100 people remain in this camp.

Raoul and about 20 members of the First Knights.

Lawrence and about 60 members of the special expedition team.

There was a warrior party and about 20 players accompanying it.

‘It’s probably impossible to force a breakthrough.’

Raoul shook his head.

Even if he had become a master and had three semi-master level knights, it was impossible to break through the imperial army.

This is because if there was an army of over 30,000, there was a high possibility that ‘they’ would be there.

Imperial Majesty.

The pinnacle of the Empire’s countless knights and the Emperor’s true sword.

They were truly monsters that even the greatest master could not handle, for whom the emperor personally engraved his seal.

I had encountered it a few times in my past life, but all I could do was to run away, using the friendly NPC masters as shields.

‘If it’s now…!’

He thought maybe he could deal with them, but he wasn’t alone.

And by the magician’s side, there were always several superhumans (masters or wizards of the 7th circle or higher) who assisted him.

Even if he was the lowest level superhuman, he was still very threatening.

‘Then…’

Raoul’s mind began to spin in confusion.

* * *

Kwaaaang!

Wow!

Flames were flying everywhere and the sound of swords clashing was constantly heard.

“Hold your seat until the end! “This place must never be breached!”

Lord Hansley, the second-in-command of the Wall, repeatedly shouted in a hoarse voice.

Fortunately, the morale of the soldiers was high and so far no accidents had occurred that broke the defense line, but the situation was by no means easy.

‘How could this happen…!’

This is where the battle is in full swing.

This was a fortress facing Porta, a city behind the wall.

The city of Porta serves as a supply warehouse for the Wall and a window to the outside world.

The great city of Porta was now engulfed in flames.

Inside the city, fighting was still going on intermittently, and on the main street…

“Deputy commander! An additional 1,000 hordes of demonic beasts were observed in the southern direction of the main road. “There doesn’t seem to be much change in the Imperial Army headquarters located at the entrance to Porta!”

“Redirect the archers stationed in front of the wall towards the city. And convey it back to the commanders. “Defend your current position and absolutely do not enter the city!”

“yes!”

Tendons bulged on the back of Lord Hansley’s hand as he clutched the sword.

‘damn. ‘I can’t help but watch like this.’

Family members and acquaintances of the sergeants at the wall were staying in the porta.

Of course, it would have been right to go rescue him, but that wasn’t the case.

‘Damn Empire! ‘What on earth did you do?’

The square right in front of the Porta Castle Gate where the imperial army’s headquarters is located.

There were as many as five ominous ‘gates of darkness’ open in the air.

And the ‘building’ floating in front of it.

What I felt inside the building, which looked like a small temple, was a concentration of magical power that was so massive that it took my breath away.

Even without seeing Lord Hansley in person, I could already guess his identity.

Demon. It was clear that he was a fairly high-ranking demon.

Moreover, there are four entities with lesser but formidable magical energy.

A total of five demons were located inside that floating temple.

The problem is that a huge energy can be felt even at the imperial army’s headquarters.

Although he did not reach the level of a demon, he clearly appeared to be a master-level superhuman.

Even though Lord Hansley was an intermediate master, it was impossible for him to handle them all by himself.

‘Fortunately, the barrier and defense magic circle of the wall are still operating normally…’

There was no way to estimate how long they would be able to endure if the demons and superhumans of the empire stepped forward.

What is certain is that no matter how strong the barriers and defenses are, they cannot protect them forever.

‘At least Commander Julius and Lord Tavion must join to find a way.’

That was also something that was difficult to expect right now.

This is because, just before the Wall was unexpectedly invaded, it was reported that the Imperial Army had appeared in front of the advance base, Gamma.

‘If the wall falls, it’s the end!’

It was clear that not only they would be in trouble right away, but the entire continent would be caught up in a major crisis.

A union between the empire and the demons.

I couldn’t help but worry about whether kingdoms accustomed to peace would be able to respond properly.

At least before Porta was occupied and the communication network was cut off, the emergency situation was announced through hotlines in each kingdom.

If an appropriate response is made, reinforcements will arrive within a week at the latest.

‘Until then, I will have to protect the wall at all costs!’

Lord Hansley jumped down towards the crowd of black demon beasts that were surging like a flood and swung his blue Auror blade mercilessly.
