The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 205

Episode 205 Battle of Kranos (2)

“We are flying!”

“We’re landing swoosh!”

“It’s falling!”

“No hesitation!”

It’s not snow, but an orc has come. 100 orc warriors came down from the sky.

It was an unexpected appearance and assault operation. There was no time to prepare or stop it.

Coo! Quang! Craddangtang!

The bulky Orc warriors fell one after another from the sky, like small balls or rocks launched by a mischievous giant.

Kranos attempted to land on the defenseless northern wall. However, no orcs were seriously injured.

“It doesn’t hurt, kkuik!”

“I broke my arm, but I’m okay, kkuik!”

“I have blood on my head. I’m fine too!”

“I’m not using my head anyway!”

“If you apply acupuncture, it will get better, kkuik!”

The Orc warriors who fell onto the castle wall jumped to their feet. Among them, there was one who was unlucky(?) and broke his arm.

But most of them were fine. It was thanks to the wilderness bushes that covered my entire body like bubble wrap.

In addition, because his muscle mass was so large, he was able to withstand quite a bit of shock.

Thanks to this, they began to show off their majesty as soon as they landed on the castle wall.

“We fight!”

“Protect the castle walls!”

“Break the bamboo sticks!”

The orc warriors roared. They each raised their weapons.

The great two-handed sword, the battle ax, which would have been burdensome for a human to handle with two hands, and the sword, which was more like a siege weapon, flashed with bloody force. It was taken down.

Kwajak! puck!

The zombie army that was mindlessly climbing the castle walls became pitiful victims.

The zombies advanced with only minor damage from the spears and swords struck by the human defenders, but it was different when faced with the fierce blows of the Orc warriors.

Sigh-!

Wherever the orc warrior’s massive heavy weapon struck, the zombies were literally ‘split’.

It wasn’t just the head or shoulders that were split open. The body itself was completely split in two. It looked like soft tofu hit by a mace.

Of course, it still struggled, showing off its unique zombie-like tenacity, but it could no longer climb the castle wall with its body split in two or crushed entirely.

“Kuwook! “My blood is boiling!”

“Come at me, Kkuik!”

“If you hit hard, your core and upper body will strain!”

“core! “Jojinda kkuik!”

It is the raw roar of a wild warrior that makes even the most vicious zombie flinch! It was thanks to the brave fighting of those Orc warriors.

The advance of the zombie army vanguard, which attempted to occupy the northern wall, was blocked.

Seeing that, Rakiel, who was far away, clenched his fist tightly.

“Good job!”

“Comong!”

Komong, a phantom baby elephant who had blown away the Orc warriors with the air pressure from his nostrils, responded vigorously.

Rachiel breathed a sigh of relief. It was breathtaking. If they had been just one minute late, the northern wall would have been completely taken over. But now I felt relieved.

‘Because we sent only the most elite Orc warriors. ‘I think they’ll be able to hold out for a while.’

Suddenly, something from an hour ago came to mind.

He said he was caught. I thought I had destroyed the warlock Cartu’s main lair and destroyed his traps and tricks.

But you are wrong. That in itself was a bit of fishing. I was stuck. Thanks to you….

‘It was dangerous for the corpse to explode.’

Even now, thinking about it sends a chill down my spine. A zombie disguised as Cartu. This was right after the guy’s disguise magic was removed and his true identity was revealed.

Did the zombie’s eyes suddenly turn red? Did you feel the rapid flow of ferocious mana?

At that moment of goosebumps, the zombie’s body exploded into pieces. It wasn’t a simple explosion. It was a destructive torrent of highly concentrated mana.

Damian was the one who responded the quickest at that time. The guy immediately blocked my way. He defended the entire front with fierce sword energy.

Thanks to this, most of the explosive power was able to be offset. Of course, there was no significant damage.

“I said… but are you really okay?”

I looked up from the end of my thoughts. I asked Damian, who was riding next to me. The guy answered blandly as if it was no big deal.

“Of course, Your Highness.”

“Tsk. “I don’t think so.”

“It’s true.”

“You’re okay after receiving such an explosion from the front?”

“yes.”

“You couldn’t have written that without me knowing, right?”

“You mean the heart method of reverse blood? Of course not.”

“is it.”

“yes.”

“….”

I’m a little suspicious. Because it was definitely not the kind of explosion that could be easily overcome. However, since the person in question repeatedly said it was okay, I felt like asking more questions.

‘I don’t even have time for that.’

Rachiel looked in the distance towards Kranos.

Although it was said that time had been gained thanks to the 100 Orcs’ assault, the situation of the war was not yet bright and hopeful.

This and Kranos.

A large army of undead was seen nestled between them.

It was a legion made up of truly elite, high-level zombies that were on a different level from the junk-level zombies that had been destroyed in front of the warlock’s lair earlier.

‘From now on, it’s a battle of speed.’

We must strike their rear before the walls fall. We must subdue Kartu, the heart warlock who drives the army. Only then can we win today’s battle.

“Urus! Brash!”

Rachiel shouted. He raised his hand and pointed to a spot behind the undead army.

“charge!”

Where he pointed.

Cartu was there. I could feel the flow of mana as he concentrated his magic power and commanded the army.

“Nuuuuu-!”

“Charge kkuik!”

Urus let out a loud roar and advanced like a rhino. The Orc warriors led by Brash let out a roar of charge.

However, Damian was an exception.

“majesty. “I want to charge too.”

“huh. no.”

“Is it because you have to protect His Majesty’s side?”

“of course.”

Rachiel snorted. Damian’s brow furrowed slightly. Again. The crown prince tries to protect me again.

Before, I was despondent because I thought I had lost trust, but as I continued to experience it, I now understand.

‘I didn’t lose trust. I don’t know why, but I’m holding it so the crown prince won’t be exposed to the danger of flying.’

Damian was almost certain.

It was like that a little while ago.

The crown prince who had earlier asked if he was injured while blocking the explosion of corpses. That wasn’t just a look to check that Howie was okay.

Rather, it was closer to the kind of look one would have when examining a beloved vase to see if it was broken or cracked.

‘why?’

I couldn’t figure it out.

I’m just an escort who stays by your side. Our duty is to protect you, and being exposed to danger in the process is routine and natural.

But why, Crown Prince, do you keep treating me like a flower in a greenhouse?

I didn’t understand. However, there was something strange.

It was when I went out to block the mana storm from the corpse explosion earlier. It was right after a bunch of sword energy was sprayed with all its might.

The moment I collided head-on with the explosive force, I was actually shocked. Very briefly, about 5 seconds? I think I lost consciousness while standing.

But then I saw something strange in my darkened vision. No, I felt it and heard it.

– Another me. Nice to meet you.

“….”

For a moment, I thought I had heard something wrong. But no. The more I think about it, the more it doesn’t seem like it.

A foreign yet familiar feeling. A feeling that there was something lurking inside you that you were not aware of. It felt like I had made eye contact with a being whose face appeared above the surface of my unconsciousness, even if just for a moment.

It wasn’t an illusion.

So I was confused.

‘What was that?’

I don’t know. However, it may have something to do with the strange behavior of the crown prince who keeps trying to protect himself. Or it might be related to the heart method of reverse blood.

“….”

Damian, who had been thinking about that far, shook off his thoughts. Now is the moment when a fierce assault is launched. The crown prince must be protected. You can’t just sit back and relax.

“All right. But Your Highness… what are you trying to do?”

Damian looked back at the prince at the end of his thoughts and tilted his head. It’s not that it wasn’t, but in the meantime, the crown prince was trying to do something strange(?).

So… “Why

are you trying to put a thorn in your forearm

now?”

At first, I thought I had seen something wrong. But it wasn’t. The crown prince was rolling up his forearm sleeves.

He was aiming at his own forearm with the thorn in his other hand. It looked like he was trying to self-basin, as he sometimes does.

‘why? why?’

At this time when the battle is about to begin, is the crown prince trying to perform acupuncture on himself? What are you thinking?

However, the reaction of the returning crown prince was even more spectacular.

“uh. “Because the assault will soon be stopped.”

“…yes?”

“Both Urus and Brash are excellent warriors and powerful beings. “That warlock’s defenses won’t be easy.”

“….”

What does that mean? Besides, what does that have to do with what you said and what you are trying to do yourself?

My mind was filled with questions. I wanted to ask. But before he could do that, a huge roar suddenly sounded from ahead.

…Tskwaaaak-!

The front line where Urus was rushing, pushing away all the zombie legions. The ground there shimmered with an ominous blood color.

The magic circle opened. From the dark space inside the magic circle created on the ground, strange and terrible beings raised their heads.

“Quoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Coo! Coo thump!

It was a large, muscular ghoul reaching 5 meters in height. There were a total of 50 of those guys.

In an instant, a ferocious 5-meter-high barrier blocked Urus’ path.

Of course, that didn’t mean Urus would stop charging.

“Noooooo-!”

With an even louder roar, a pair of horns were raised. I rushed with my whole body. The leading giant ghoul was pierced through the abdomen by a horn.

“Guoeook!”

But it didn’t fall. Even though he was pushed backwards, he held on without falling while his abdomen was pierced.

Another giant ghoul supported its back. One, two, and five people were hanging.

Quad deud deuk! Kwaduk…!

“Neu! Nuuuuu!”

Urus’s charge gradually became slower. When ten giant ghouls finally hung on, the Minotaur King had to stop walking.

It was from then on.

“Quaeaok-!”

The counterattack of the giant ghouls has begun. Urus, Chief Brash, and the elite Orc warriors were all blocked from charging and had to fight fiercely against the Ghouls’ offensive.

Thanks to this, an evil smile bloomed on the lips of the warlock Cartu.

‘…Did you think that kind of struggle would work on me?’

He smiled leisurely. In fact, he was not particularly surprised when Orc warriors suddenly flew across the sky and landed on the castle wall, or when the rear of the legion was attacked. It was because there was a part of me that believed in it.

‘No matter how brave the orcs are, they won’t be able to easily break through my ghouls’ ghouls!’

I believed it.

As expected, the result was as expected.

‘And I’m saying that if we advance the legion like this, we will easily win today’s victory.’

Anyway, the victory lies with you. You can leave the rear to the Ghouls of the SS.

All I had to do was focus on the front line and attack the castle walls. Because the castle wall guarded by only about 100 orcs would collapse before they could penetrate his rear.

‘Then we can turn every human in the city into zombies. It will be much easier to cook you guys and absorb them into my army.’

Cartu’s smile deepened. Just imagining it made me smile at the thrilling income.

“No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to overcome my Ghoul SS. “No matter what measures are taken.”

He chuckled with confidence.

But it was that moment.

“really? really?”

Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone asked me a question right next to me. It was a somewhat familiar voice. who? I was able to realize it right away.

‘…Prince?’

Why was the crown prince’s voice heard right next to me? Cartu, shocked, quickly turned his head. But nothing was seen.

There was no one where he looked. Did I just hear something wrong? He frowned and tilted his head.

No, I tried to tilt my head.

Right then.

…cock?

Suddenly my back felt tingly. Through a gap in the defensive magic wrapped around my entire body, through a very small gap in the air hole, which could be said to be the magic’s only weak spot, something sharp came in, piercing my back.

needle?

thorn?

I couldn’t figure it out.

Because it was just a tingling sensation on my skin. Because I just wanted to know something.

But…soon….

“…Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?”

In an instant, the excruciating pain that sent my soul flying to the other side of the universe began to surge from my stinging back.

At the same time, an unbelievable noise reached my ears!

“Did you think only you could use invisibility magic?”

“…!”

It is certainly.

It is the voice of the crown prince.

With an eerie realization, Cartu’s eyes opened in shock.
