The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 253

Episode 253

“This is true. “It breaks through very refreshingly.”

Flat land between the 2nd line of the 3 Princes’ Army and the main camp.

Imperial Master Hamart crossed his arms and clicked his tongue.

“….”

Number 4 stood next to him in silence.

“There will be no problems with preparations, right?”

“…It’s enough.”

“I have no intention of swinging my sword for the kingdom’s stupid hypocrites. Handle it without making any mistakes. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“…All right.”

Although both were masters, there was a difference in their status.

Hamart took the standard executive course in the empire and became a master.

Number 4 became a master after receiving Mana’s blessing during espionage activities dispatched to the kingdom.

Although it was an empire where people were treated according to their abilities, inherent discrimination existed.

On the outside, Hamart seemed to be taking care of No. 4, but in reality, he was treating him like his own servant.

‘bouncer. How dare a spy be a master?’

This was an insult to the empire’s elite officers who had been sharpening their swords all their lives.

It was also evidence that he was not faithful to his assigned duties.

Several recent operational failures.

It was a man-made disaster that happened because the intelligence department failed to properly collect information.

purple.

Isn’t the information about this battle a mess?

‘what? The maximum number of knights for the Master is about 1,000? ‘You’re laughing.’

-The head of the Ashton family, Count Melvin and Viscount Raoul, became masters, and with the blessing of Mana, the number may have increased by two or three more.

Even though the Count hadn’t even participated in the war, there were already three guys who looked like masters.

Moreover, how can we explain the 5,000 knights?

How can an operation not fail if information and predictions are so arbitrary?

‘When I return home after this operation, I will have to push for the impeachment of the Intelligence Service.’

It was clear that those dispatched to the kingdom were imitating ‘nobles’ and had forgotten their duties.

In any case, complaints were complaints and I had to focus on the immediate operation.

“come.”

Quang!

The elite soldiers who were standing in line until the end were unable to stop the knights’ charge and were sent flying in all directions.

‘Just as expected.’

The First Knights broke through two defense lines.

It was not that the number of people was reduced or that the momentum was lost.

But before they knew it, the knights’ assault curtain that had surrounded their front had disappeared.

Perhaps it was natural.

A veil created by all knights using mana as one body.

This meant that the tent could not be maintained if the members lost concentration or became tired.

They broke through countless magic and arrow-baked soldiers and even clashed with the cavalry.

“Now then, let’s have some fun.”

Hamart crossed his arms and gestured to No. 4 with his chin.

“…let’s begin.”

Rumbling.

The knights and the ground between them began to shake violently.

* * *

‘hmm? This…?’

Raoul’s face frowned at the dirty energy he felt.

But there was no need to panic.

I had already experienced it many times, so I knew how to deal with it.

“The appearance of frontline imperial special forces. There are enemy demonic soldiers ambushed underground, so focus on intercepting each leader. “March inside.”

“March inside!”

The First Knights, who had been running in a wedge shape, opened up their formation.

Separated into five groups, they slowed down and formed five V-shaped formations.

An March was a formation suitable for besieging a powerful enemy.

Purr.

While the horses slowed down for a moment, each leader, vice-leader, and Raoul came to the front of the unit.

Clap la la rock.

Raoul’s armies roamed the sky in groups, following his gesture.

“Did you think I wouldn’t notice if I hid like a rat?”

As Raoul moved his hand from top to bottom, an army of dozens to hundreds of weapons fell towards the floor.

Kkwagwagwagwang!

“Keeeeek!”

“Krrrrrrrr!”

The monster’s scream rang out as dust flew in all directions as if a bomb had exploded.

“Five. That’s a good number. Let each combat leader and deputy leader handle it.”

“Yes Master!”

“Hiya!”

Dalton and Ken, as well as the battle leader and vice leader, rode on horseback and rode toward their respective goals.

bang! Pubububung.

As the dust cloud settled, strange-looking monsters were revealed.

The smallest monster was over 3 meters tall and the energy felt was almost comparable to that of the Master.

‘They’re definitely an upgrade over the guys I saw in Marquis.’

Imperial Demonic Soldiers, weapons created by the Empire to deal with the Kingdom’s Masters.

Perhaps because the level of the gate had increased, the level of the magicians also seemed to be high.

But it wasn’t just their magical weapons that developed during that time…

Tung!

MacNillon deflected the front paw of the lion-shaped beast soldier with his shield.

“Is it just this much? “Only in this way will we be able to stop even our knights in training, let alone the Master, you cat!”

The temporary auror that permeated MacNillan’s shield was able to sufficiently withstand the attacks of the demonic soldiers.

Parbat! Sasha shashak!

“Kyaang.”

2nd Combat Team Leader Homer’s great sword aimed at the gap where the front foot was thrown away, staining the creature’s chest with blood.

The defensive force field surrounding the demonic soldier’s body was not enough to block his Auror Blade.

Not only that, but the other leaders and vice-leaders also overwhelmed their respective opponents.

A combination of a leader who is too familiar with Aurors to be considered a beginner master and a vice-leader who is on the verge of becoming a master.

The opponent was not good for a demonic soldier who lost his reason and fought based on his instincts.

While the leaders were fighting the horsemen, other knights fired arrows at a group of troops camped across the plain.

“Shoot! “I’m marking them so they don’t intervene in the leader’s battle!”

“The 5th and 6th rows keep the enemy in the rear in check!”

The senior knights who took over command managed their troops appropriately and kept the enemies in check to prevent them from approaching.

Raoul, who was watching this, smiled with satisfaction and turned his head towards the enemy camp.

“Kane.”

“Yes Master.”

All the master-level executives dispersed, and now only Kane remained by Raoul’s side.

“You know their location well, right?”

“of course.”

At the same time, a small mini-map unfolded in one corner of Raoul’s field of vision, and a red dot blinked.

It was a real-time operational map created by integrating information from Connect System Kane’s informants and reconnaissance players, including Han Seo-hyun.

“Then, let’s go hunt down the leader of the rats.”

Parbat.

Raoul and Kane disappeared in an instant.

* * *

“…Hehehe.”

There was a saying that when people are upset, they only laugh.

Such was the state of Master Hamart right now.

“Crazy…”

And No. 4’s reaction wasn’t much different.

No, no one will be different from them.

“Kuwoeook!”

“Kegagaeng.”

If you witness an unbelievable scene unfolding before your eyes.

The secret weapon they had prepared.

The five imperial magic soldiers were unable to use their strength properly and were being toyed with one-sidedly.

Soldiers listening from afar might feel chilled at the sound of the enormous demonic soldiers’ shouts, but in reality, the sounds they made were nothing more than screams.

‘…How many masters are there?’

Hamart felt a chill run down his spine and finally reactivated his frozen brain.

The three of them set out to deal with the two masters of the Marquis.

And now there are five people beating up the demonic soldiers.

Moreover, if you include the count and Raoul, who are already masters…

‘Are you saying that one count family in the kingdom has ten masters and over 5,000 knights?’

How can you tell that this is the count’s power?

If it had been before the Gate incident or the Blessing of Mana, it would have been sufficient to say that it had a power that surpassed that of a single kingdom.

‘If I had stopped in front of those knights without thinking…!’

Cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

“Hey, number 4. I’ve gathered enough information, so let’s get this out of the way. “This is important information that must be conveyed to the home country.”

As Hamart tried to speak calmly, No. 4 also nodded.

“I guess it has to be that way.”

If they escaped like this, it meant giving up on the 5th Demon Beast Soldier.

Even though it was an experimental subject, the cost of strengthening it to a level where it could handle one master alone was astronomical.

So, according to the original plan, regardless of victory or defeat, at least the remains had to be sent to the farewell magic circle…

‘There would be no room for that at all.’

Just looking at it, each and every skill was much better than No. 4 himself.

Not only was it true that he had learned the swordsmanship of an authentic and prestigious swordsman, but judging from his skill in handling Aurors, it seemed like a considerable amount of time had passed since he became a master.

Joining there now would be like putting one’s head on their record.

Jiyiing.

A pale magic circle appeared at the feet near No. 4 and Hamart.

The magic circle, which was still only a rough sketch, was becoming darker in color as it consumed the mana coming from Number 4’s ring.

‘It’s like a damn mana disruption magic circle…’

As it happened, a large-scale mana disruption magic circle was installed on this battlefield.

It was a device that cut off teleportation and communication magic not only here but several kilometers away.

Originally, it was a magic circle used only as the defense center of each castle.

‘Because the Ashton guys were using a large-scale portal…’

The son of the marquis, who was called the commander-in-chief, ended up using the expensive, disposable magic circle scroll.

If it weren’t for that, the teleportation magic circle would have already been completed.

And I would have finished reporting on them.

As if he didn’t know how Number 4 was feeling, the so-called elite of his home country were getting on his nerves.

“Can’t you hurry a little more? Damn it…”

The demonic soldier was bleeding and screaming and it seemed like he was going to collapse at any moment.

But that doesn’t mean he can show weakness in front of No. 4.

“Do I really have to do anything?”

Hamart forced a relaxed expression and took out his sword.

It seemed as if he would buy time.

‘damn. If I don’t make it on time, I’ll have to jump on horseback.’

One blood-curdling second passed, and the magic circle finally revealed a clear light, approaching completion.

“All forces charge! Burn your life for your Majesty!”

Hamart sent out his troops.

There were 3,000 horsemen and tattooed soldiers they brought to the battlefield.

The soldiers, who were holding their breath while blocking the knights’ arrows, ran towards the front.

Their entire bodies were already covered in hideous black tattoos, and despite the powerful arrows fired by the knights being pierced into their bodies, they ran screaming as if nothing had happened.

‘They’re useless now anyway.’

It would be an honor for them to at least buy them time to escape.

“Now it’s complete!”

“good. Let’s withdraw. “It’s a pity that I couldn’t use this sword, but there will be another opportunity next time.”

Slurp.

When Hamart put his sword halfway into its sheath.

“well. “How about taking out that sword again?”

“…! “Who?!”

Whilick.

Raoul and Kane landed in front of Hamart and No. 4.

“you…!”

Hamart twitched his eyebrows.

It reminded me of Raoul’s identity.

But then he shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.

“Ha, that’s too bad. If you cut off that head, you would receive a considerable reward. See you next time. haha.”

And at the same time, the magic circle beneath their feet glowed and enveloped the bodies of Hamart and No. 4.

“…kkkkk. He seems like such an idiot. Next time, really… huh?”

The light disappeared and Raoul and Kane were still standing in front of Hamart.

“…? Hey, number 4. What is this?”

“….”

However, Number 4 seemed to be embarrassed as well and just continued to stare at his teleportation artifact.

“Sorry. Raoul told me never to let you go, hehe.”

A small green-haired fairy was sitting on Raoul’s shoulder, adjusting his glasses.

“Do you want to take out that sword now?”

Charang.

“Shit!”

Quagwagwang!

The battle between the Third Prince’s Army punitive force and the First Viscounty Assault Cavalry Corps has ended.
