The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 62

Episode 62

Imperial Hound Ruben Kingdom Branch 8th Operation Unit Captain Jack.

He was a swordsman known within the organization for being good at using a great sword, and because of his cruel disposition, even agents were reluctant to approach him.

The sight of him wearing a cold iron mask and slaughtering his enemies like a madman was reminiscent of a blood-crazed berserker, but in reality, he was a very gentle and self-sufficient person.

Despite his outstanding skills, he only entered the battlefield when he was confident of winning.

In fact, even though it had already been a long time since the battle took place, he was just sitting on the trunk of a cut down tree and just watching and did not seem to have any intention of participating.

However, something happened that made him frown while he was peacefully observing the battle.

“what? Say it again!”

“It looks like the escape route is blocked.”

The person standing in front of Jack was a typical wizard wearing a robe and holding a staff.

However, on the back of his hand, like other agents, there was a flashy red tattoo.

“Why is everyone so fucking bullshit! Everyone just has to do their job, is that that difficult? It’s up to you to secure the escape route! say it. what’s the problem?”

Even though I attacked him with harsh words, the wizard didn’t react much. It seemed like he was already used to dealing with Jack.

“There is no problem on our side. “It looks like something happened outside.”

“Phew… So what is the solution? “Is there some way?”

Jack asked, slightly calming his anger, but the wizard shook his head.

“For now, we can only hope that the problems that arise outside are resolved. “Otherwise, we have no choice but to escape using the normal means.”

They did not enter the gate the normal way.

The organization had an object called a ‘gate driller’, and surprisingly, it was a foreign object that allowed forced entry into the gate.

It has a limited number of uses and has the disadvantage of having to drill a hole again from the outside when exiting, but being able to fool the enemy and enter the gate was a big advantage.

The drill had a transmitter paired with it, but in the wizard’s hand, the transmitter had lost its light and had become inoperable. The connection with the outside world was lost.

‘Fuck you. ‘I’m embarrassed.’

The only way to get out of here without going through the drill was through the gate.

The problem is that there are kingdom soldiers lined up in front of the gate.

For those who had to hide their identities, clashes with soldiers were fatal.

And that wasn’t the real problem.

visor! Kwakwang!!

In the battle taking place in front of the fortress, the imperial side was clearly being pushed back.

Although there was still room for a twist, it was a situation that Jack most did not want to get involved in.

‘If I got into trouble, I tried to run away alone, but I had no luck.’

First of all, it wasn’t that there wasn’t a way to think of it.

How to annihilate them, dress up as a mercenary, and pass through the gate.

Or, there was a way to escape by using their leader, a noble boy, as a hostage.

But either way, the battle had to be won.

“Whew. Provide moderate support fire from the corner. “Don’t just keep nitpicking.”

I don’t really like it, but wizards were useful.

Although it was only a 4th circle and wouldn’t be of much help in battle, after the battle was over, it was much better than those who only knew how to cut.

Moreover, among the enemies, there was an armor user who could snipe.

It was obvious that if I went out and trusted in the abilities buffed by the tattoo, I would be killed in an instant.

“I feel dirty, but I need to taste blood. Hehe!”

After chewing and then spitting out the beef jerky, Jack picked up a large sword as tall as himself and began to walk towards the fortress.

* * *

‘Whoa~. It looks like it’s going to fly.’

Even though I often wore power armor when sparring with Philip or other executives, I still couldn’t get used to this exhilarating feeling of being immersed in the feast of mana that penetrates every cell of my body.

My whole body was filled with confidence and vitality, as if I could really do anything.

‘Of course, you shouldn’t get drunk on that kind of exhilaration.’

That was the easiest mistake beginners in power armor made.

Aside from not being able to adapt to the increased power, they forget that their opponents are also armor users and run wild.

This is where the difference between prestigious families and non-prestigious families becomes apparent.

Knights from prestigious families could receive sufficient training to adapt to power armor, but it was difficult for ordinary families to expect such luxurious training.

That influenced the survival rate of power armor users on the battlefield.

Experienced armor users accurately understand the status of their power armor and fight while paying attention to the remaining energy.

However, beginners are so caught up in their excitement that they are unable to objectively assess the state of their power armor.

Even if you sortie wearing the same power armor, your energy will deplete much faster and you will not be able to retreat and become prey on the battlefield.

However, Raoul was of a different class from those beginner armor users.

This is partly because he has strengthened himself through constant training, but also because there is a window in one corner of his field of vision that allows him to check the status of his power armor in detail.

[Axelsa B Type Power Type Power Armor]

Basic output: 1.1 CP (Core Power)

Instantaneous output: 1.28 CP

Special note: Raoul exclusive object [Regnator] Combining (total performance +5%)

‘Good. There’s nothing wrong.’

I was worried that [Regnator] might go on a rampage thanks to the Empire’s armor users, but fortunately he was in stable condition.

After the first maneuver, [Regnator] was very unstable.

The start-up itself was irregular, and the holding time and output were not controlled as intended.

Philip, who was his opponent, shook his head and advised Raoul to stop using Regnator, saying it was a dangerous weapon that could never be used in combat.

However, Raoul had no intention of giving up his power armor and repeated the Regnator maneuver while coughing up blood each time.

The solution appeared in an unexpected place.

When his older brother Dylan came to the capital, he brought a gift for Raoul.

Earl Melvin, head of the Ashton family, gave his children power armor as a gift whenever they became adults.

Even if he couldn’t use it right away, he expected to improve his swordsmanship skills by watching it.

In Raul’s case, I intended to give him something other than power armor as a gift, but after seeing him win the coming-of-age tournament, I ordered it too late and it only arrived later.

The B grade was the highest performing power armor currently on sale.

In addition, Axel’s products were expensive due to their customized production system.

In order to make up for Raoul’s lack of strength, the Count risked a large expenditure and specially ordered a model with enhanced output.

‘This is the good thing about being the son of a rich family.’

Power armor was expensive, costing about 10,000 gold (1 billion won) even for the cheapest F grade.

Since the average monthly salary of a regular knight was about 100 gold, it took more than ten years for ordinary knights to purchase power armor on their own.

However, he received a B-grade power armor as a coming-of-age gift, so he was not a gold spoon for nothing.

Anyway, the B-grade power armor that Raoul received as a gift became the solution for [Regnator].

Regnator naturally combined with Raoul’s new power armor, and Raoul was able to control the power armor stably.

Whirling.

Raoul flew down the hill, avoiding the scene where the armor users were colliding.

His purpose was not to storm into battle and subdue his enemies.

His knights were already on the winning side of the battlefield, and Dalton’s addition would put a wedge in the victory.

‘Is it over there?’

Raoul’s target is wizards.

Even if the battle was won, it would be a disaster if one of the enemies escaped.

Although we were already prepared to clash with the Imperial Intelligence Department, Imperial Hound, there was no need to inform the enemy of our power.

Raoul’s senses became sharper and he sensed unpleasant demonic energy. It seemed like people who were presumed to be wizards were gathered in one place.

‘Good. ‘Let’s get it all sorted out once and for all!’

His power armor had a defensive technique engraved on it that blocked up to 6 circles. Even if they were wizards who used 5-circle magic, there was no problem.

Raoul, who had caught his prey, rushed at his enemies even faster.

And the moment he saw the wizards in his field of vision and took out his great sword.

bang!!

Grumbling.

Raoul’s body was pushed backwards for a long time due to someone attacking him from the side.

‘this! ‘It wasn’t just a bodyguard.’

Raoul made a rare mistake in judgment.

The energy I felt wasn’t particularly strong, so I tried to deal with the wizards first, but in reality, it seemed like they were skilled enough to use up their own energy.

“Hoo. What a windfall! I can’t believe the little Confucius came all this way alone! But this is a bit embarrassing. “I’ve never heard of an expert or an armor user.”

Jack, who remembered the thought of having to deal with the intelligence officers when he returned, approached Raoul without hesitation with a wry smile.

Expert or whatever, it wasn’t his opponent anyway.

Jack’s body was covered in pitch-black armor as he walked, swinging his greatsword moderately.

Both Raoul and Jack had black armor, but Raoul’s armor was shiny, as if it would reflect light, while Jack’s armor was dull and matte, as if it would absorb all the light.

Of the two people who seemed to contrast in many ways, Jack’s outward force was overwhelming.

A black aura was glowing from his armor as if it was a joke until he put on the power armor.

On the other hand, Raoul did not feel any energy.

He just calmly and calmly aims his sword at Jack.

But before he knew it, his eyes had turned golden and were looking through everything about Jack.

In terms of stats and level, it is a typical upper-level Sword Expert. article.

He probably seemed to be at the same level as Jake or Pierce.

‘But if I activate the tattoo, it will become a monster beyond advanced level.’

Of all the enemies I’ve encountered so far, this was definitely the strongest.

In addition, the power armor was a proper item, not a cheap, entry-level item.

[Imperial KC type commander power armor]

Raoul checks the information Even though I did it, I wasn’t shaken.

This is because I knew that the status window was just a reference and that winning or losing a match was never determined by superiority in stats.

Raoul strengthened his resolve, recalling the combat experience he had accumulated in his previous life and the constant training he had undergone.

‘I’ll show you how deceitful a player with regressive equipment can be, Hound of the Empire!’

The golden sword energy sharpened from Raoul’s great sword began to burn.
