* * *

The next morning, there was a mist as everyone expected. But over time, as the sun rises, the fog rolls with a light rainbow.

Many soldiers momentarily forgot about their situation and looked at the mysteries of nature.

The sun, as it always has been, climbed up hard to the middle sky. Whether you know the situation of the Anglia military or not, you begin to gently sweep away the fog with an indifferent hand.

Guillaume, the hero, runs behind his army, conducting a final check, then heads to the right. Once the fog lifts a little further, we'll issue a strike order.

Guillaume has always led his knights to attack on his own in the Right. Like Albrecht, it was not a tactical way to weave a wedge-like look and instantly judge on the spot and blur into enemy weaknesses.

However, Guillaume did not lose sight of the strategy and tactics. Knows the terrain, makes progress accordingly, and makes accurate judgments about point of attack.

He was the most important commander in the world at this stage. With these abilities, they stopped the invasion of the Vidu Kint and marched on Anglia with their own troops.

There was no great reason to invade Anglia. It was just that the armies of the Apostles, once gathered, did not know when they could once again hold such a large force in their hands.

That is why Guillaume's personal desire for greatness and the appetite for a new territory came together, and negotiated with the King of Akiten to invade Anglia in full force.

In fact, he was admiring the Guardian of the Holy Land. His reputation in the east wind shook Guillaume's heart. "I want to be a hero just like him," and "I want to decorate one of the legends."

So Guillaume wanted to be a courageous knight on his own, apart from having excellent strategic and tactical skills. Anglaire's Golden Shield has the power to make himself a hero.

A shield that can withstand anything. In addition, it absorbs shock. What could have frightened Guillaume?

However, after the battle with the Demon Prince, Guillaume could no longer be a hero. Those who were defeated in the duel could not at least be heroes of knights or warriors. It was an impossible humiliation.

The way to repay the humiliation was to fight him again, but I couldn't help but get bored. What exactly is that power? A gathering rock strikes the shield. Is he really the guardian of that famous shrine?

At the end of the garage, Guillaume decided to let the archers shoot him. I couldn't lose the war.

Anglia hired the famous Janes Crossbow mercenaries, just in case, because the Queen of Anglia was defeated by the Wild King.

I didn't know if it would work for that monster, but I thought it was worth a try. I eventually lost the mercenaries and didn't kill him, but I've heard reports of fatal wounds.

I didn't think he had a chance unless he was seriously injured and collapsed. If you win the war, you promise to tear the corpse of the monster who humiliated you to shreds.

In Guillaume's vision, the originally invisible enemy's seriousness started to look blurry because of the fog. Ordered to march at this point, the fog would be lifted as we march. It's time to attack.

“Advance the entire army. ”

When the hero spoke to the deputy, the deputy ordered the knight again. After answering, the knight leaps to the center and relays the order to the central commander. And soon, he shouted.

“All forces! Forward! ”

Boom!

The sound of war horns echoes across the entire army of Veles to the Anglia army.

All the soldiers in Velez advance their shields and march forward diligently. The ground was wet and uneven, so some fell. The advancing soldiers step on their comrades, as they cannot stop.

The trampled soldier rolls hard off the ground to live, even in the middle of a frenzy. And the knights were beaten senseless.

The soldiers look at their beaten comrades and pay particular attention not to fall. The ranks are skewed, but they are generally advanced in a row.

Guillaume follows the soldiers behind him and sees them. Although not orderly and vigorous, they were responsible for stopping arrows, filling trenches, and removing enemy pegs. In other words, it was a meat shield.

If the enemy no longer has the capacity to shoot arrows, or if some kind of deterrent is broken, it is determined to charge and finish off the Knights of the Good Side.

Soldiers were expected to do great damage, but if you break an enemy in this battle, the war is a victory. I thought it was worth the damage. I didn't doubt that I would win without the Horseman Knight.

Anglia's troops were stationed at their posts, each looking at 10,000 troops advancing.

Since the breakup of Albrecht's short-term assault, I've been underestimating my enemies, and as I march forward in formation, my heart beats as I realize the magnificence. Fear? Excitement ahead of battle? They didn't even know.

Archers were placed 200 on the left and right sides and 100 in the center. As the enemy approaches, the left and right wing will shoot the center, and the center will shoot the left and right wing, under the judgment of Commander Ecbert.

Enemies coming from the front hold their shields, so you have to shoot them from the side to make them work. When I faced him, I was going to shoot him in the face.

Ecbert continues his final check running behind the troops, raising his head to see the enemies advancing. And I felt desperate. We don't have a guardian knight. Can we win?

But at the end of despair, I suddenly remembered my childhood memories. It reminds me of the time I used to run around the forest with the common people. It was the most precious memory of all. Just then, my heart seemed to warm and full.

Such memories could not let the enemies trample the young place. I must defend my hometown, Anglia.

Then he took a firm mind and shouted loudly.

“Hear me, Englishmen! ”

He was a nobleman among the nobles, but he did not treat the soldiers at this moment. The soldiers turn their heads from their positions, looking up at their central commander.

“You and I have been spending peaceful days in this basin of Anglia! I was farming, grazing cattle and sheep, and I was at peace under the care of God and the Queen! ”

The soldiers simply look up at him and listen to him. Then I looked back at the past days when I was farming and slaughtering livestock, as he said.

“But! An evil horde has invaded and broken our peace!" The queen stepped forward and fought, but it was not enough! But God has sent down a guardian knight! Burned down the Wild King's stronghold for a short time! We drove out 10,000 soldiers alone! You must have seen it with your own eyes! ”

In Ecbert's speech, the soldiers felt their hearts getting warmer as they recalled Albrecht's short-term charge against 10,000 enemies.

“The Guardian Knight has reached the point where the evil tricks of his enemies threaten his life! It's time for us to protect him! People of Anglia! Though we are not soldiers, we stand here as one courage! Fight bravely! Do not fear death! Save the Queen and the Guardian Knight! ”

In Ecbert's speech, the soldiers felt the flame of battle rise from their hearts. Everyone chants Ecbert's last words, even if no one tells them to.

“God save the Queen and the Guardian Knight!" ”

Archers raised their bows, soldiers raised their grappling weapons or halberds, knights raised their swords high, and all 4,000 soldiers shouted the same thing.

Ecbert runs with his soldiers face to face again. And I kept shouting.

“Englishmen! Our weapons are courage! Grab your courage and hold your weapon steady! Show no mercy to vicious enemies! God be with us! ”

All of Anglia's soldiers tightly grasp their weapons as they listen to Ecbert's cry. Everyone opened their eyes and saw 10,000 hostiles. Excitement and courage filled my heart before the battle. I felt like I knew the unknown feeling I had just felt.

Ecbert gave a speech that turned the soldiers' fears and fears into courage. He was a truly great commander.

Guillaume, who was watching the Anglia army from afar, laughed as he heard them shout a prayer together. Rather, I thought the Guardian Knight they were talking about was telling me that he was seriously injured and that he hadn't woken up yet. Idiots.

Guillaume instructs us to speed up, as we are already some distance away.

“Breaking news. ”

Guillaume's orders were given by the central and left-wing commanders, and the knights and infantry commanders gripped the soldiers. I was walking carefully on wet ground, but as I increased my speed, my feet twisted and fell out.

Moreover, as you get close to the hill where the enemies are, arrowheads spill from both sides.

“Aah! Fuck! ”

“Aah!”

“Shields up! Shield if you don't want to search! Knng!”

We got a lot of casualties in the lead. The infantry commander who encouraged the soldiers also fell down with an arrow as he spoke.

The soldiers following you fall down, snarling at the wounded. I barely get up, but the knights blaspheme behind me.

“Get up quickly! You worms! ”

“You dipshit! Let's go!”

Then I stabbed and killed a few soldiers with the demonstration case. The soldiers see a terrible scene, and they all wake up in a frightened look and lift their shields. Some place their spears and just raise their shields with both hands.

The ranks falter, but the knights simply push the soldiers into the hills.

The arrow rains again. The soldiers scream in agony, and the fever in front of them begins to fade.

We had to build the shield wall properly, hold it steady and move slowly, but we didn't have enough training to do that, and moreover, the ground was wet enough to have pools all over the place. The soldiers are put down by arrows without hesitation.

At the beginning of the hill, the dust that followed the corpses piled up is not able to go forward properly. Soldiers who were not hit by traffic jams were also left and right, collapsing. Orders go forward, but you can't go forward. I don't know what to do.

They try to move forward over the corpse to avoid being stabbed by the knight, but they stumble, step on the fallen, and the back falls again, creating chaos.

If you saw this from afar, you might have kicked your tongue because of the march of fools, but it wasn't because they wanted to. If you don't go forward, you'll get stabbed in the back and die.

The situation was the same. The arrowheads continue to fall, and a wall of corpses builds up around the hill.

Guillaume, who was watching the situation, was annoyed by the unexpected difficulty. Why can't you just take your shield and go?

It was easy to say because you hadn't experienced it.

“Release the formation and charge! Fill the trenches and pull out the stakes! ”

Guillaume's orders were given by the commanders. The knights run over the soldiers.

“Charge! Release the formation and charge! Fill the trenches and pull out the stakes! ”

The soldiers think it's better to charge cool than this foolish march. I thought I liked some of the fucking commands I'd heard.

“Sibaaal!”

“You Anglia bastards! ”

Soldiers are viciously attacked and start climbing the hill, circling the wall of corpses. But the little grass is wet because of the rain, so it's easy to slip if you don't mind.

On the other hand, a lot of soldiers who were running behind slipping also stumbled. But since it was 10,000 troops, there were still more soldiers reaching the end.

The hills are set up by the Englishmen and are covered in Veles' soldiers.

However, even though I had only reached the enemy's seriousness, the trench was dug deep, and since then, I can't go any further because of the thick piles. Above all, it was good to run against evil, but my body was honest, so I ran out of stamina.

A halberd or grappling weapon falls over the heads of Velez soldiers who have barely reached their limit. It looked like he was thrashing with a human head.

The Veles soldiers tried to stab the spear, but they couldn't stab it properly, and the shield bearer was just blocking it. Those with nothing would have grabbed and pulled the weapon they were striking at, and that worked best.

A few Anglia soldiers are dragged out, followed by terrible retribution beyond the beating.

I wish I had a shovel, but most Veles soldiers try to dig up the dirt near it with their hands. Their weapons fall from their heads, their hands are covered in blood, literally Abigail.

“Anglia, you bastards! ”

“Search! Damn you, Velez! ”

Soldiers on both sides were viciously attacked, insulting each other's territory, killing each other. However, most of the soldiers in Veles died in vain because of the overwhelming advantage of the Anglia military.

Besides, the trench is packed full of Veles soldiers, so you can't move an inch since you don't have a system to push them away. Not a metaphor, but they were really overwhelmed by allies.

“Aah! Fuck! Don't come!”

“Don't come! ”

"Don't push!"

However, the soldiers who climb the hill have no vision, so they don't know what the trench is like, and moreover, they can't see it anymore. The trenches continue to push Veles' soldiers in.

The trench floor was already piled up with corpses, and many soldiers were stunned or seized standing tightly by each other.

Subsequent soldiers step on them and are pushed forward. Then a soldier breaks through the blockade and enters serious Anglia. But he had nothing in his hand.

The knight dealt with him lightly, but he was at risk of being stopped.

The commanders saw it from behind, so they made haste.

“Throw in the oil bag! ”

The Englishmen toss a sack full of oil into the trench that they had prepared. Hundreds of pockets of oil spilled onto the soldiers filled with trenches in no time. And the flaming arrows flew in. As the flames blaze, thousands of people begin to burn.

“Ahhhh!”

“Hot!”

“Aah! Help me! ”

If you peel off a piece of hell, it's here now. Thousands of people who filled the pits were being burned alive. Some escaped out of the pit in their lifetime.

The knights who killed the fugitives from behind were overwhelmed by the inferno of this world and were unable to kill them.

Burning thousands of dead bodies overwhelmed all humans in the Anglia Army, the Veles Army, or the site. The soldiers of Veles, who ran the charge like crazy, stood there and stared at this madness.

Guillaume was also surprised and looked at him. I was stunned for a long time, watching thousands of his soldiers burn at once.

I couldn't wait to see the sun, and who was screwing with me. The world was a little dark, but the surrounding hills were lit up like daylight by fire.

Then Guillaume's eyes saw one of the pegs crumble as it burned. And the pegs that were sequentially stuck elsewhere fell apart. He seems to have struck his head with lightning. Now! Now!

“Charge all the Knights of the Yankees! ”

The deputy commander who heard Guillaume's order looked at him with a frown.

“Ha, but, my king. ”

Then Guillaume drew his sword and stared horribly at the deputy's neck.

“I'll do it myself. ”

The deputy looks at his master with trembling eyes, not even knowing if he has a sword to his throat. The knights around me were speechless. They also looked the same as the deputy.

The deputy thought he was really the hero king he was loyal to and followed. This was crazy. Even if you win, what can you do next if you take this damage?

“I understand.”

Despite being in the army, the deputy felt like he was selling his soul here today.

In the trenches, Anglia's troops were shocked to see thousands of people burned alive.

The smell of roasting meat shook all over the world. Some of the soldiers who felt disgusted threw up.

But Harold, commander of the left, saw the Knights of Veles charge from afar. Unbelievable. In this situation? Charging in?

“Archers! Draw your arrows! ”

The archers were watching, so they put on weight quickly. The archers' arms twitch and tremble as much as they can, although they still have some room left.

However, I gripped it against the order and pulled the demonstration.

“Fire!”

Tupperware!

200 archers fired in unison at the commander's command. The enemy knights who carry out the charge were struck down by arrows, and a few fell and the subsequent knights fell, but not many.

They lose a lot of thrust as they climb the hill, but they rush headlong into the grave. As people bend to their deaths, the burned bodies fade away and the knights plunge into the trenches.

But in the end, several knights have broken through the blockade. They started killing left-wing soldiers with axes, maces, and swords as if they had been viciously attacked.

Harold's eyes widen. Left flank breach!

Albrecht was walking the white corridor. After a long walk, I saw a door at the end. Opening the door and walking inside, a man sits on a chair in a black suit in a white room. Familiar face. No, you look just like me.

It's been a long time.

He was the Devil Albrecht once faced. I don't know how you know he's the Devil, but it feels that way.

‘What the devil. You're me, and I'm you. Haha, you're thinking stupid. ’

Albrecht stared at him silently, as he had always faced this man.

‘But I'm a little disappointed. It's a bit pointless, living with so much misery, and dying like this? You were the one who chose the hard path with the shortcut. Albrecht.’

Albrecht wants to say something, but he doesn't. I have never regretted it. I walked the path of faith to kill as few people as possible, to protect the innocent and the weak. It was a tolerable path.

I am not ashamed to look up at the sky, and I have always lived confidently with my heart. I don't know what I regret.

You smile as if you've read the mind of Albrecht or the Devil himself.

‘You're still thinking stupid thoughts. This isn't fair to me. You still have to live. Because I want to win. If you die now, you win. You can't. ’

As soon as the demon's words are finished, Albrecht opens his eyes. He was lying in bed with Rosamund. I looked around and I saw no sign of Rosamund. Armor was worn. It was the same when the crossbow bolt hit.

How long has it been? ’

I tried raising my upper body. The wound on the side of my neck was sore and sore, but I couldn't bear it. I slowly opened my senses and felt the world. It was noisy outside. It sounded like they were fighting.

Albrecht hurriedly steps outside with a lightning axe placed beside the bed. It was a sea of fire when I looked around. And the smell of grilling meat in the air shook.

On the right, William leads his serious enemies to the side, flanking the rangers. Enemies die without pity.

Turning your head to your left, you see some serious enemy knights slaughtering soldiers at random.

“Albert!"

Albrecht hurriedly turns to look at her, hearing Rosamund in the background. She was leading Schwarz.

Rosamund rushes to Albrecht and says,

“D, we have to run. Just you, please. ”

Albrecht stares at her for a moment. Then you sneak past her, smiling, and climb up to Schwarz.

“What are you talking about? Why are you running away? ”

Then she turns Schwarz's horse to his left. She shouts at Albrecht's back.

“Don't go! Albert! I love you, please! Please! Don't fight, run away with me! ”

Albrecht pauses and lowers his head for a moment. I turned my head slightly and told Rosamund.

“I'm not dying. When the war is over, marry me. The gift is Guillaume's neck. Haha.”

Then you rush to Schwarz. Schwarz runs forward bravely, but also wounded.

The soldiers of Anglia on the left are scattered everywhere. However, they did not run away, but rebelled against this grip to the very end. But if you stand still, you will only be slaughtered.

Albrecht runs to the knight slaughtering his soldiers and slaps them on the head. Then I took a deep breath and screamed.

“Follow me! ”

When the thunder thundered in the middle of the night, both allies and enemies were startled. Then an Englishman shouts.

“The Guardian Knight! He's alive! ”

“It's the Guardian Knight!”

Albrecht lunges at the enemy knights and kills them at random.

Many of the enemy knights knew Albrecht was badly injured, so they rushed in at once. But it was trivial.

“You little rascals! ”

You swing your axe aloud, killing three knights at once, and then you begin to grind them like a mortal killing machine.

A knight cries out in despair.

“Please die! ”

“Die! ”

Albrecht strikes the axe like a bolt of lightning, splitting the cursed knight completely vertically from his head to his lower back. It was a force that could never be seen as an injured until yesterday.

When the Anglia Soldiers saw the Guardian Knight, they felt the light of hope emanating from their hearts, driving out the darkness of despair. And I got my courage back and wrapped my whole body around it.

You may not be in formation, but you begin to confront the enemy knights collectively, following Albrecht.

The knights who broke into seriousness reached 155, but their numbers quickly declined as they were crushed by Albrecht and plunged into the hooks of the soldiers.

Albrecht sees me running away. But it was on fire around the perimeter, and even though I came close, I didn't deserve to leave. He was right-wing.

“Now you're a coward! ”

Albrecht lunges at Guillaume and slaps the axe. Guillaume shrugs and holds up his shield. Over time, however, I did not feel the axe strike.

Albrecht was embarrassed the first day, but now he's smart. You pretend to hit the axe and pull it sideways with your golden shield.

Guillaume's body opens up, and the posture collapses. Albrecht draws his left hand like lightning and strikes Guillaume on the neck.

The Knights of Veles around you open their eyes wide. It seemed like time was running slow. Their master, the hero king, is slowly slitting his throat to the ground.

Albrecht stepped down from Schwarz and took the golden shield from Guillaume's neck. Then he got kicked in the left arm.

“That's a great fit. ”

Then I picked up a window lying on the floor and stitched Guillaume's neck. Going back up to Schwarz to kill the enemy, the horns are already scattered. Many fell into the burning trenches.

The golden shield glows with the light of its people. Albrecht rides to Rosamund. She just stares at Albrecht dazed.

“Here's a gift. ”

Albrecht smiles at her. Then he flipped his eyes over and fainted.

“Ouch!”

As Albrecht was about to fall, the soldiers around him were startled to support him.

Rosamund's heart beats again. You rush to look at Albrecht, and he breathes.

The soldiers lay Albrecht on the ground first. Rosamund wept endlessly and hugged Albrecht behind his back. I bowed my head and kissed him.

“I love you, Albert. You're all I have. I accept marriage.”

Seriously, it was still very cluttered. Knights and soldiers were slaughtering the remaining enemies, and in the trenches there were still thousands of people on fire, two lovers pledging marriage.
