The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 227

Episode 227

Kwazijic!

“Oh, no!”

The soldier’s helmet, held in the hands of the demon, was torn apart like a piece of paper, and his head was smashed.

And the blood flowing from the soldier’s body climbed up the demon’s arm and was absorbed into his body.

“this guy! “Is this a demon avoiding direct confrontation?”

Adhert, commander of Forward Base Alpha, belatedly chased after the demons and swung his Auror Blade.

However, the demon Quevier created wind pressure under its feet and escaped the attack range.

“Ha ha. After all, the taste of human blood is amazing?”

Quevier licked the blood from his fingertips and laughed bitterly.

bang!

Adhart’s Auror Blade swung again and was easily blocked by Quevier’s right arm.

Hehehe.

In Quevier’s right arm, wind compressed with demonic energy swirled and gnawed at the auror.

‘damn. How many people has this already been?’

I thought that even if the demons were strong, I could easily deal with them.

And when they actually faced each other head on, they were able to gain the upper hand.

In the first minute or so of fighting, Adhert’s sword inflicted several deep cuts on Quevier’s body.

But then what do you do?

If it felt like it was at a disadvantage, it would use the wind to quickly widen the distance and eat the Amon soldiers and knights to recover from its wounds.

It wasn’t just Commander Adhert’s problem.

“damn. too fast!”

“How come there is no way to tie your feet?”

“We can no longer hold the soldiers back…”

Two of the four demons who had invaded the fortress were wandering through the camp with their feet loose.

The only reason the defense line did not collapse was because of the presence of Lord Hansley and Lawrence Kane Jakes, who were overwhelming the demons.

Gurgling! Quagwang!

Dark blue lightning crossed over the castle walls.

“joy! Do you think they will let me go?”

Kane blocked the lightning by crossing the hunting knives in both hands.

The green aura rising from his dagger clashed with lightning and emitted high heat.

Cheezy.

The arms holding the daggers were red hot inside the armor and there was a smell of burning flesh, but Kane’s expression did not change at all.

“Uryaaat!”

Jake then jumped into the air and fell, swinging his large Auror blade towards the tip of the lightning.

Quagwagwang!

His sword seemed to have hit the walls of the Amon Fortress, but the blue-black lightning that passed by the Auror was shaking.

“Can we avoid this too?”

The last one was Lawrence.

The four large swords he held.

The orange auror blades that rose from the tip of the sword gathered together and formed a whirlwind, cutting the lightning into two.

“Kiaak! You tough humans! “Am I the only one who can’t have fun because of you guys?”

The lightning struck by Lawrence’s sword soon transformed into a human form and the demon Marcellus appeared.

Its characteristic is lightning.

It was fighting by freely transforming its body into lightning and moving around a short distance.

When it turned into lightning, it hardly took any damage, but its attack pattern also became simpler.

Transforms into lightning and burrows into the opponent’s body, burning it.

However, it was not very effective against masters who used aurors.

Rather, it is powerful.

“come!”

“Be careful not to get caught up!”

Charalalak!

The two whips wielded by Marcelzne were engulfed in lightning and burned the air.

If you weren’t an Auror, you wouldn’t have even dared to block the whip of electricity flying in all directions.

“Tahat!”

Jake blocked the end of the whip with his greatsword, and Kane cut off the lightning bolt next to it with his auror.

Lawrence used four great swords and tossed the whip here and there to cut off the flow of electricity.

“Gross bastards. Do you think the outcome will change if you guys struggle like that? In the end, you guys will turn into a handful of blood and be offered as a sacrifice to the demon god!”

“It’s noisy. In the end, it’s something that we can’t break through on our own.”

“…joy. “Is that really the case?”

It had already been over 30 minutes since the demons entered the fortress.

Even though the demons were running rampant, no one other than them had yet climbed onto the castle wall.

The barrier’s protection was still strong and the soldiers fought, risking their lives.

He may have had a sense of duty as a soldier, but it was probably because he knew that if the fortress was breached, the entire continent would be in danger.

However, the war situation itself could not be considered good.

The status of the wall, which had always defeated enemies with superior engagement ratio, was gradually withering.

As the energy reserves were depleted, non-critical defense facilities had already stopped functioning.

And if things continue like this, the other half will soon stop functioning as well.

In that case, I would have to fight off the endless crowd of demon soldiers with my bare body.

‘They are very cunning…’

Lord Hansley’s complexion looked dark.

The demon soldiers, who seemed likely to rush in at any moment, created a temporary barrier about 100 meters in front of the castle wall.

A 5m long defensive wall made of various monster bones and dark red soil.

It wasn’t extremely sturdy, but it seemed to be enough to block arrows and long-distance attacks from ordinary soldiers.

“Shoot!”

“There is no need to shoot accurately. Just aim for the castle wall!”

The demon army leaned against the wall and fired arrows and magic at the castle wall.

And the demonic beasts climb up and down the wall and continuously rush towards the fortress.

The purpose was very clear.

The idea is to disable the defense system by depleting the barrier’s energy.

Since most of the human soldiers’ long-distance attacks were aimed at the demonic beasts approaching the fortress anyway, there was no great risk for them.

‘And the demons are rampaging on the castle walls.’

In a typical siege war, it is true that the defender has an advantage over the attacker.

However, if it devolves into a war of attrition like it is now, victory will ultimately go to the attacking side.

This is because while the demon side was continuously being replenished with troops and demon energy, the resources on the wall side were limited.

Whiuung boom!

The mace wielded by Lord Hansley struck the demon’s upper body.

The left shoulder of the black shadow-like demon exploded.

“….”

I wonder if he doesn’t speak or can’t speak.

The demon Winduil kept his mouth shut throughout the battle.

“That’s annoying.”

Lord Hansley was not one to talk much either, so their confrontation took place in silence.

Winduil’s attributes are darkness and fear.

Although it was an attribute that exerted power against a large number of people, his role in this battle was clear.

Grabbing Lord Hansley’s legs.

Demons were never stupid.

They watched the battle at the Demon God Hall for several days and came up with their own strategy.

Confirming that the defense’s best player was Hansley, their choice was Winduil.

Wow.

Winduil’s body, with his shoulder torn apart, was scattered like a shadow over the castle wall.

In an instant, darkness fell around Lord Hansley.

‘Keuyeah.’

With an expression of displeasure, Hansley wielded blue aura on his mace and swung it roughly in all directions.

Hwiung. Sugagak.

The darkness where Mace moved was caught up in Mace’s aura and disappeared.

But a few times I hope darkness fills that empty space again.

The thick darkness cleared for an instant, revealing Winduil again.

And during that time, Hansley couldn’t move a single step.

If he moves, Winduil will also move along with him, and if that happens…

‘Aman’s allies will get caught up.’

Even if they are superhumans, ordinary knights will not be able to survive if they are caught up in this darkness.

Fortunately, the allies were still holding on, so Hansley was able to get along with the demons without overdoing it.

‘Not yet. When change comes to the battlefield, we must defeat it once and for all.’

Lord Hansley’s eyes sharply analyzed the battlefield.

However, the change that came was quite different from the direction he wanted.

“Conquer the wall within three days. “You also have a very impatient personality.”

“That’s right. Even if you just leave it alone, it won’t last very long. “Anyway, those demons aren’t that bad, right?”

“Well, the higher-ups must have figured it out. And there’s really nothing special about them just saying that enough is enough?”

The two masters of the empire, Aelbed and Bertio, were heading towards the fortress, riding their horses lightly as if they were taking a walk.

“The Imperial Army is moving!”

“The enemy knights are coming this way!”

“Two masters of the empire. Observed at the head of the knights!”

The imperial army, which had been waiting in the rear so far, began to move again.

After the wizard army was wiped out with the appearance of Raoul, the imperial army stopped all movement.

This is because the liaison person responsible for communicating with the main unit disappeared and mobilizing additional troops became difficult.

However, three days seems to have been enough time to re-establish the contact network.

‘Oh no… if two superhumans join, it won’t be easy to maintain the front line! If you knew this would happen, you wouldn’t have sent Viscount Raoul…’

Raoul’s words about attacking the enemy’s main base while the demons were away also made sense.

Although Raoul’s talent for moving the weapon corps was extraordinary, he judged that the soldiers could sufficiently block the attack even without the weapon corps.

Raoul has already been gone for about thirty minutes.

However, there has not yet been any noticeable change in the Demon Temple, the headquarters of the Demons.

‘I hope you come back safely.’

Now was not the time to look for someone who wasn’t there.

shouted Lord Hansley, brandishing his weapon appropriately.

“Two enemy masters are approaching! Bring in the Girion reserve unit! Everyone, stay alert and do your best to maintain the front line!”

Although it was a crisis, the wall still had power to spare.

I don’t know about demons, but any human master will be able to deal with them as a top-level expert supported by the Overlord system.

Ta-da-da-da-dah!

“His Majesty’s faithful sword. Aelved is here! Who will take my sword!”

“Damn cowards of the kingdom! Everyone, come at us!”

The two masters of the empire jumped up the 30m high castle wall with a few steps and joined the battle.

Following Lord Hansley’s instructions, about a dozen top-level expert knights clung to the two and somehow managed to hold them back.

However, it could not be said to be stable.

Fragments of auras and various characteristics of demons were popping out here and there, littering the castle walls and causing casualties.

“Commander Adhert!”

“Okay!”

At Lord Hansley’s shout, Adhart turned.

A strategy to give up on the fleeing demons and target the enemy’s weakest demons with Lord Hansley.

In the meantime, there will be casualties to our allies, but there are times when you have to give bone in exchange for flesh.

Quagwang!

A change was taking place in the battle between superhumans.

* * *

“damn! “It’s like this!”

Jake pursed his lips and swung his greatsword.

Cheezy.

Sparks were flying from his great sword.

And the smell of burnt smoke leaked from his body as well.

Even though the power armor’s force field was alive, it could not properly block attacks related to the demons’ characteristics.

‘This will recover later, right?’

It seemed as if all the hair on his body had been burned off.

Jake was muttering under the dripping sweat, but he had to survive to receive treatment.

Lord Hansley and Adhert’s operation was half-successful.

No, can that be called a success?

As desired, Gustir, one of the Demon World Barons, was defeated.

However, about a dozen of our top experts retired, decisively.

“Wipe out all the humans who don’t even know fractions!”

“How dare a slave fight against the great demon army!”

“It’s a blood festival!”

The defense line on one side of the castle wall collapsed, and the main force of the demon army took advantage of the gap and climbed onto the wall.

Although they were overshadowed by the strength of the demons, the commanders leading the demon army were also strong people with demonic blood flowing through them.

As demon commanders of expert level or higher joined the front lines, the maintenance of the castle walls became jeopardized.

Belatedly, Adhert and Hansley tried to regain balance, but the situation was not easily resolved.

Lawrence and his party, who had been steadily dealing with the demon Marcellus, had no choice but to overdo it.

In the end, Kane and Jake took charge of the Marcelz’s, and Lawrence headed to another front.

‘Oh, I’m really going to get sick if I keep doing this?’

Thanks to this, Jake and Kane were holding on to the demon, burning their entire bodies.

“Hey Kane! “Have you heard anything from the Master?”

“…If you have the strength to chat, swing your sword one more time.”

After entering the demon temple, contact with Raoul was lost.

In order to turn the situation around, someone’s help was desperately needed.

at that time.

Boom, boom, boom!

Beyond the fortress walls.

No, far beyond the walls of the city of Porta.

The earth was shaking with the magnificent sound of drums.

“Oh really. “It’s perfect timing! You guys are all gone now, repeat it again!”

Jake smiled happily and swung his greatsword sharply.

Pow!

With the sound of long horns, a huge number of horsemen formed a wave and were rushing towards the fortress.

And the flag waving at the very front.

There, the golden bear emblem symbolizing the Earl of Ashton was roaring toward the sky.
