The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 246
Episode 246:
Floating, Floating.
Wow!
Numerous soldiers were lined up on the wide plain and shouting.
3 princes 210,000.
4 princes 350,000.
The sight of a large army totaling 560,000 people facing each other and forming formations was nothing short of spectacular.
The 3 Princes’ Army was divided into left wing, center right wing, and each had two columns, so the formation was divided into a total of 6 units.
The 4th Prince’s Army also divided its forces into left, middle, and right, but formed a camp of 9 units in 3 columns, as if to prove that they were ahead in terms of troops.
visor! conductor!
Push!
Ouch.
The front-line units were engaged in several small-scale battles that also included exploration battles, and the situation seemed tense.
But among them, there were some who particularly stood out…
“Keep the formation straight!”
“Tanks, be careful of throwing attacks from the front!”
“who is this! “Don’t shoot arrows before the signal!”
Characters of various colors active in the middle of the battlefield.
It was the player unit.
Floating. Floating.
“Is that all for today?”
The person who turned his head towards the main camp at the sound of drums announcing retreat was none other than Kim Isang.
He was the president of the Real Players Association and the master of the Saebyeol Guild.
Although they were completely robbed by the Purple Guild’s rankers in the territory war that took place in the Brennan Republic, the Ripple Association itself did not collapse.
Rather, Kim I-sang, who harbored a more bitter grudge, expanded the size of the association even at the cost of losses.
In addition, there were quite a few large guilds that suffered losses to the Purple Guild during the civil wars in each country.
They eventually acknowledged that they couldn’t stop the Purple Guild if they dealt with them separately.
As many as 20,000 players participated in the battle under the banner of the Ripple Association and the Alliance of Guilds from Other Countries.
And of course, their choice was the camp of the three princes of the Marquis MacNeill.
As the Purple Association had dissuaded the choice of the Marquis McNeil camp, it was an inevitable result that they would have given their strength to them.
‘hmm. ‘Are you sure you’re not participating in the war?’
The standoff in Curden Plains had already been going on for several days, but there was no news about the Purple Guild anywhere.
But there were no particular complaints.
No, I even thought it was a good thing.
“This is a list of people who want to join the new Gilma Association.”
What was waiting for him when he returned to base was the application form for new players.
A battle that may decide the throne of the Kingdom of Ruben.
However, there were many players who were impatient as the Purple Guild was still withdrawing.
In the end, the options given to them were to join the 4th Prince’s side through the Purple Association group quest or join the Ripple Association and fight in the 3rd Prince’s camp.
Of course, there were more people who chose the 4 princes camp, but the 3 princes camp was no slouch either.
It was natural that the size of the Ripple Association grew as time passed.
‘And if the 3rd Prince’s side wins this battle…!’
We will be able to completely take away the leadership in the Kingdom of Ruben that the Purple Association had.
Perhaps because they were not sure which faction would win, they made the safe choice of ‘neutrality’.
‘Did you say Kim Il-woo? ‘For an ordinary person to reach such a high position, there seems to be a limit.’
As a leader of a group, you need to make bold decisions no matter what situation you face.
If they couldn’t do that, the group was bound to be eliminated.
‘As expected, the one who leads this world must be someone like me who has been chosen.’
Foolish commoners often make mistakes.
All humans are equal and can do anything with effort.
‘You’re making an X sound.’
Humans are ranked from the moment they are born.
lineage. droughty. property. Talent.
How can you expect to be treated the same when everything is different?
The elite, who grew up receiving education to lead a corporate society from a young age, and the ordinary people, who received compulsory education to make a living.
There was no reason to consider who was qualified as leader.
Therefore, there was a need to correct the disordered order even now.
Whether this is a game world or something else.
* * *
A hill quite far from the battlefield.
About a hundred people were on horseback, looking down on the battlefield.
“It’s taking a long time to see. I thought there would be a fight as soon as the camp was set up. “They’re like scaremongers.”
Jake grunted.
“This battle could decide everything, so we have no choice but to be cautious. Besides, there is no harm in continuing the war of attrition on the Four Princes’ side.”
As Raoul said, unlike the 3rd prince’s side, which wanted an all-out war right away, the 4th prince’s camp seemed relaxed.
It was a privilege for the attacking side, and it was a choice they could make because the difference in troops was significant.
It was natural that as the war of attrition continued, the side with more troops would have an advantage.
“…But will the Four Princes camp really be defeated? “Looking at the current situation, I have no idea who will win.”
Kim Il-woo asked carefully.
Behind him were Purple Guild rankers, including Han Seo-hyun, Wang Cheon-myeong, and Linda.
“Well, it would be good for everyone to know. The chances of the 4th Prince’s side winning this battle are slim. No, you will definitely lose. “There are two reasons.”
At Raoul’s words, not only the Purple Guild members but also Purple Knights, including Jake Pierce, pricked up their ears.
This is because they also did not know the reason why Raoul was so confident.
“first. Allied forces gathered by Count Randall. Are we really all on the same side?”
“…! Are you saying there is a traitor? But…”
Count Randall, the main axis of the Four Princes’ Allied Forces, and the other two Count families have long been known to have a close relationship.
And the young Marquis of Admer had a deep grudge against Marquis McNeil.
“What you see on the outside isn’t everything.”
Raoul recalled memories of his past life.
At that time, during the war of succession to the throne, there was a battle of spirit between the Marquess of MacNeill and the Earl of Randall.
Although it wasn’t the same structure as it is now, there was someone who stabbed Count Randall in the back.
The person who seemed to have no contact with the Marquis MacNeill was actually…
“Second. There is an empire behind the Marquis MacNeill. Or, would it be more accurate to say that we held hands?”
“Empire…!”
“oh my god! What is it that the Marquis regrets about joining hands with the Empire?…”
“These are the people who will beat you to death!”
Some people were surprised by Raoul’s words, while others were angry.
And surprisingly, no one doubted whether Raoul’s words were true.
This meant that his subordinates believed in Raoul.
“I understand now. Why was the Master so confident of McNeil’s victory? But do you really intend to proceed as planned? “I’d rather do it now…”
Philip asked in a voice filled with concern.
“no. “There is no change in plan.”
Raoul was adamant.
Perhaps sensing his will, Philip didn’t say anything more.
“Well, everyone heard, right? “You might have to go on a wild rampage, so relax!”
Jake shouted, and the people who expected it looked nervous and looked at the battlefield.
* * *
“Catch it!”
“Don’t miss the leader of the traitorous islanders!”
Puhi hing!
A horse running with foam at the mouth struggles with difficulty.
‘…How did this happen?’
I felt dizzy, perhaps because of the continued bleeding from my side and thigh.
“Ugh. Help the matriarch until the end! Ha!”
Although his skills are lacking, the voice of the guard knight who always had his back passes faintly by his ears.
Tup.
“Father, come to your senses! “You can’t collapse here!”
Someone supported his body as he fell from the horse.
‘hmm? ‘How old was this guy?’
The face of my son desperately supporting his body was unfamiliar.
When I think about it, it seemed like I didn’t pay much attention to it after giving birth.
Although it may not have seemed that important now.
match.
I felt hot in my face.
“Come to your senses! Are you really planning on sleeping here!?”
How dare this guy slap his father?
For a moment, I came to my senses.
I hurriedly used my mana to stop the bleeding and calm my breathing.
“Haphael. “I’ll see you later.”
“Have you come to your senses?”
I can hear the confusion and joy in my son’s voice.
Fourth guy.
I didn’t expect much from this guy because he seemed a bit pretentious compared to his skills.
However, among the sons over ten years old, this one was the only one standing by his side.
“…What is the situation?”
“…First of all, it looks like the chase has slowed down a bit. And I don’t know the detailed circumstances.”
‘is it. ‘Have we lost?’
Earl Hudson, the head of the Randall family, has barely come to terms with reality.
The large army of over 300,000 had gone, and only about 30 knights followed behind him.
The game was decided in an instant.
The Three Princes’ Army carried out an all-out assault.
He marched his troops against him and headed to the front line with his masters…
‘What a betrayal…’
Count Rancis, who had entrusted the main camp, held his sword upside down.
The four princes at the main camp were killed in an instant, and the main barracks and captain’s flag were set on fire.
Thanks to this, each unit fell into confusion, and the balance between the masters who were clashing on the front lines was lost.
This was partly because of the betrayal of Folkus, the master of the Count Lansis family, and because new superhumans suddenly appeared in the camp of the three princes.
‘Clifford, you vile bastard!’
Although he cleverly faked his swordsmanship, he could tell.
What an empire.
How can a marquis of a country and the head of a prestigious samurai family join hands with an empire?
Count Hudson bit his lip.
We lost the war, but it couldn’t end like this.
‘We have to survive somehow and let the world know about their dirty faces.’
Fortunately, thanks to the sacrifices of many people, we were able to leave the battlefield.
There was a chase team, but if you hid in the forest a little ahead, you might be able to find a way out.
But was it too early to judge?
“Oh dear. Where would such a precious person run away in such a hurry? “Like a rat.”
bang!
Hehehe.
The mana blade flew from the front, turning the ground over and breaking the horse’s leg.
Boom! Quagwagwang!
Count Hudson jumped off his horse and struggled to raise his mana to block the flying sword.
‘damn…!’
The traitorous Master Polkus and the Empire’s Master were blocking the way.
If my physical condition had been normal, I would have easily dealt with two masters who were only beginners, but…
empty! Awesome.
Every time the swords collided, blood flowed back from my stomach.
It was clear that the Mana Road was damaged.
“Ahh!”
“You guys!”
It’s like adding insult to injury.
The pursuit team that followed tenaciously from behind was attacking his men.
‘…That’s it.’
A gloomy despair appeared in Count Hudson’s eyes.
“Don’t spare a single one, kill them all!”
“We don’t need any survivors!”
A cruel death sentence was handed down by the enemies.
But then.
“okay? “I had the same thought, but it’s so coincidental.”
“Who are you?”
“when…?”
Someone wearing a mask was standing with his arms crossed behind Master Polkus and the Imperial Superhuman.
“Wipe it away.”
No sooner had the masked man finished speaking.
“evil!”
“Who is it?”
Quagwang! Grab it!
Screams and crashing sounds erupted from behind the siege.
“joy! I don’t know what they’re doing, but there’s no use struggling now! “Get lost!”
Master Folkus raised the Auror blade on his longsword and rushed at the masked man.
Empty!
But his sword got blocked by the spear very easily.
Whoa! Bababababaak!
The spear blade, spinning like a tornado, split into a dozen pieces and flew toward Folkus.
“This is it!”
Polkus once again swung the aura-covered sword and tried to hit the spear.
Tung.
“What…? Ahh!”
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Quang!
The whirlpool of the spear’s blade lightly bounced off Polkus’ sword and gnawed at his armor shroud horribly.
Polkus pulled back for a split second as the curtain held up, but the spear ended up hitting him in the upper body.
“Cough.”
It happened in just one sum.
“this guy!”
Belatedly, the Imperial Superhuman brandished his halberd and aimed at the Masked Man, but the Masked Man easily defeated him as well.
“Didn’t I tell you? Don’t even think about returning alive.”
As the masked man spoke, auric lights surged from all directions.
The faces of Polkus and the Imperial Superhuman turned pale.
The 4th Prince was killed and Earl Randall and several Masters went missing.
The Battle of Cudden Plains ended with a landslide victory for the Marquis MacNeill and the Three Princes.
