Dragon Poor

092. Counter (3)

Theodore Tiberius ro Adesden has been devoted to the Reich ever since he ascended to the throne. It is focused on restoring the power consumed by the long war and the development of a country that has been stagnant. The people of Adenberg, of course, praised King Theodore. But even King Theodore had one flaw: he couldn't suppress the noctune because he was so devoted to the Nazis.

The soldiers at the western border were elite soldiers trained in many wars, but King Theodore was unable to use them efficiently. Thanks to this, the western army has always been defensive and passively led to the invasion of Noctune. That's always been a problem for the Western Army.

But the constraint was suddenly released. King Theodore, also known as the current king, launched his first invasion. The western army of the kingdom, which had always been beaten, marched towards the border in a cheerful cry.

“That's fucked up. I never thought I'd be so sloppy. ”

Commander Wittenfeld Lloyd Mansk ridicules the border guards of Nochstein, who have not noticed anything, despite the fact that two regimental infantry troops are marching on. And then, on the edge of the guard's jaw, he pushes a scepter.

“Crush it thoroughly! Don't let the Nocturne cross the border again! ”

Even the infantry of Adenberg ambushed the Eastern Fort in Nochstein, when they fell asleep with their heads bent. Noctane's soldiers, who had grown arrogant without even thinking about defensive warfare, gave up their gates so easily.

Two regiment-sized infantry troops occupied the fort's main facilities like lightning bolts, and in the process, the head of the Eastern Army commander of Nochtane, who had fallen off drunk in liquor on a cold winter night.

“Commander Noughtane's neck is down! ”

Soldiers in the Kingdom of Adenberg raised their voices and announced their warriors. It was a thunderbolt for the Noctuane soldiers who were preparing for a daring counterattack.

The nocturne soldiers who lost their commander lost their will in an instant. Most soldiers have delivered their will to surrender, and the Adenberg Imperial Army has taken many of them captive.

“Hold on to the end! There aren't many enemies in the Keep! Protect it with your life!”

“If you're going to die, die alone! ”

The battle ended when a high ranking officer of the fortress, who was calling for a final decision, fell from the watchtower with his sword stabbed.

And the war had just begun.

“Forward, warriors of Adenberg! Don't let the flock of Noctune cross the border again! ”

Commander Mansk roars, and six major cavalries dig along the wide open road.

“Let's go!”

Kim Sun-hyuk also crossed the border with a three heavy cavalry.

The Kingdom of Nochstein has been overturned by news of the late Adenberg invasion. But by the time they heard the news, the Eastern Fortress, which was already a strategic point on the Eastern Border, had fallen into the hands of the Adenberg army.

“Commander Iron Dmitri Karlstein Warrior! One regiment has been destroyed and two regiments taken captive! ”

In the devastating damage that cannot be thought to have occurred overnight, Nochtane's chief sobs.

“In fact, we have lost more than three control of the eastern region. ”

But there was something even worse. It was a command system that collapsed after the death of Karlstein, the general commander of the Eastern Army.

“Adenberg occupies the citadel and remains so! More deployed cavalry has been scattered to all directions! ”

“Determine the size and course of the enemy cavalry first, and determine the size of the remaining enemies in Castle Karlstein! ”

I tried to figure out the situation somehow, but the border guard's movements have only slowed down.

“The Adenberg army occupied Carlstein has been identified by two infantry regiments in Mansk Fortress. Wittenfeld Lloyd Mansk's flag is hanging from the citadel! ”

“Goddamn Mansk! ”

The head of Noctane asked as if he had remembered the words of the enemy called Adenberg's shield for a long time.

“Do we have confirmation that the enemy Knight has engaged? ”

“Knight to knight! No signs of magical manifestations either! ”

Should we be relieved to know that this is not all-out war. However, the cavalry forces dug in the east were unusual to reassure them.

“Find out where the cavalry is and intercept them thoroughly! ”

“To date, we've identified six enemy cavalry units that have crossed the border. Three of them have been spotted heading north from the east. And the other three major enemy cavalries.... ”

The messenger who hesitates for a moment closes his eyes and shouts.

“The whereabouts! No Pirates found since the first Engagement. And…"

I frowned as if I'd missed my enemy's trail, but at this point, Noctane's command was relaxed. Removing the infiltrated cavalry at once could cause considerable damage to the Kingdom of Adenburg, which lacks mounted troops compared to the Kingdom of Japan.

“You have been identified as Drake Knight, commander of three unidentified enemy cavalry! ”

However, when they heard that the missing cavalry included Drake Knight, they woke up out of their chairs without my knowledge.

“Drake Knight! ”

“What the fuck is wrong with that guy! ”

Noctane's chief urgently gives orders with a white-faced face.

“Assemble your troops to the east, focusing on the foreigners who have been placed in the ranks of senior soldiers! ”

“Priority should be given to the whereabouts of the missing enemy cavalry, and leave nearby troops as soon as the march is confirmed! In any case, a full-scale engagement is prohibited! Retreat first, even if there is damage! ”

However, just because you want to avoid combat unilaterally doesn't mean you can avoid it. That was the case right now.

“Ugh. It's freezing. ”

Green Soldier, who was relying on the fires to withstand the cold in the cold winds of the winter when his ears seemed to fall, suddenly opened his eyes and gave him strength, looking at the blurry shadow that was far away.

“Huh?"

The soldier shouts, screaming, realizing that the blurry shadow was soon cleared, and that it was hundreds of people.

“Hostiles!”

The emergency bells rang, and the garrison quickly became noisy. We've already heard the news from the border, so we should be ready for battle soon. The spearer encamps at the entrance, and the archers climb onto the watchtower and the wooden ledge. It was an unprecedented situation.

Nevertheless, the look on the soldiers' faces was not good, even though they were prepared so tightly.

“Drake Knight.... ”

It's because I saw a giant monster at the forefront of an enemy that suddenly appeared with no clanging or hoofbeats that were inevitable during the movement of a large cavalry.

The soldiers were terrified to death at the advent of Drake Knight, who ate Satine and destroyed the 5th Cavalry.

I only felt low today when I complained that the sun was not rising because I usually built it uselessly high. The lightly lifting of his neck caused a gigantic beast to look ominous as if he were looking down at his sheath.

“Oh, it's coming! ”

The enemy did not hesitate. I wanted to pause a short distance away from the arrow, but then a beast and a man fled away and rushed toward the encampment.

“Fire!”

Rrrrgh!

The commander of the Ranger's Battalion ordered the shooting, but a large number of archers drop their bows at the onset of the monster's roar. At least the arrow you shot fell into the wrong place because your aim was broken.

“Ahhhh!”

The soldiers huddle in a horrific roar, and as they get closer, the beast inflates the protruding neck and crashes through the scabbard.

Boom!

Once, the time it took for the rigidly fixed table to be smashed.

“N-N-no! ”

Tub.

One of the commanders, who was encouraging the archers on the ledge, was torn to shreds by the beast's strong jaw. And there are a lot of soldiers standing there dazed, falling on the beast's head and smashing into pieces.

“Shoot me, you idiots! I'm going to die! ”

“Stab the Spearman! ”

The slow awakening commanders desperately shout that they are stopping the beast. The spearers stagger and stab their spears in surprise. And the arrow falls.

“Aah!”

However, the arrows shot desperately didn't pierce the beast's skin, but only grew the damage of his allies. Those spearers who were adjacent to the shooting arrows, without even aiming properly, sinned and died.

“Charge.”

At that moment, an enemy cavalry swoops in through the collapsed barracks. The infantry has no choice but to put on solid armor and be swept away without hesitation.

“Sa, help me! ”

In a flash, the spearmen who were standing at the entrance started running out of the encampment, opening the door to the wooden fence.

On that day, Kim Woo-young was cut off for disobeying his boss's orders and encouraging others, and before he was fully healed, he became a servant of Baek.

But until then, he was somewhat confident. Although the arm that was cut off and put back was not intact, he thought he could quickly build a ball to cover his sins if he turned himself into a high-ranking medical doctor.

But it was a mistake.

Kim Woo-young almost died more than ten times in the first battle. The battlefield was more terrible than he thought.

Kill or die. It was too hard to realize that simple logic. It was impossible to slay an enemy with tears and spears. So in the first battle, he couldn't kill a single enemy.

You wield a blade that cannot be touched by the overwhelming malice and murder. Nevertheless, he did not die. It was all thanks to his superior who stood firm by his side.

It was Kim Sun-hyuk who pushed himself into hell, but it was also him who saved himself from hell.

“Well, thank you. ”

Around that time, I had pride, resentment, and nowhere else to go. I had to rely on the idea that I could only live by it.

After the battle, Kim Woo-young cried like a child. And I had nightmares all night. But Kim Sun-hyuk saved his life, but didn't take care of him.

And the second battle again.

Kim Woo-young, who almost died more than a dozen times in the first battle, took a firm stance and went into battle. However, it is worthless. As soon as the tip of the sword digs into the flesh of the enemy, all the angles and resolutions collapse. From then on, it was a skill and nothing. I just swing my sword as ugly as the first time.

“There are four enemies you killed today. ”

And when the battle was over, Kim Sun-hyuk told me how many enemies he had slain. You're more humble than the monstrous boss in front of you, but you've finally succeeded in cutting down your enemies and building your specialty.

But I wasn't happy at all. Later, he realizes he killed someone and cries out for help at night.

I didn't comfort Sun-hyuk Kim again.

And in the fourth battle, I fought desperately against the running spearmen. Enemies rush towards you, looking easier than Drake Knight on a giant beast.

Magic Swordsman's skill is powerful. However, if you were stabbed by a spear and stabbed by a knife, this side was the same. Moreover, the malice and murder that the majority emitted were sticky, preventing them from freeing their hands and feet. His left arm, which was not fully healed, was also a deadly penalty to him.

‘In the future, you will take the lead in your unit with me. You can't run away until I retreat, and you will have to stay by my side until the end. ’

Kim Sun-hyuk kept his word. He always strikes first, and always fights last. There was always him in the most violent and violent places.

Thanks to that, Kim Woo-young really had to suffer to die. At least he didn't die because whenever Kim Sun-hyuk was in trouble, he thought his death would be okay.

The little grudge that remained disappeared. No, it wasn't just a grudge that disappeared. Everything that was important to him was considered insignificant. In the face of a war of death and death, the only thing that mattered was survival. Everything else seemed fine.

I just wanted this terrible war to be over.

“Don't pursue. ”

I don't run anymore. But I still hear screams. It's the sound of allies cleaning up enemies who haven't made it out.

Another victory is added to the name of Drake Knight. But Kim Woo-young was not jealous. What he envisioned was the strength of his supervisor to remain calm in this terrible war. I hoped that one day I would have the same mindset as that steel.

That way the nightmares, the horrible guilt, will go away.

But even that was a mistake. One day, after fighting Noctane's infantry soldiers who chose extinction after relentlessly resisting, Kim Woo Young saw the naked face of Kim Sun-hyuk who posted the visor. And I found out.

The eyes sank deeply, exhausted, and the grim mouths trembled. Occasional facial cramping, his supervisor was not unhappy.

He was holding on to it.

As soon as I saw that tired face, I was more desperate than ever to realize that the world here is not a game because of Status, Skills and Level-Up.

This place, in fact, was a hell of a place where you can only survive by killing someone.

* *

Nochtane's commanders have deployed all the foreigners who have been assigned to the advanced unit to deal with Drake Knight. The user stimulates the target with clumsy power, and a single loss is enough.

But the foreigners and horsemen they sent eventually couldn't even face Drake Knight.

Drake Knight and his cavalry are strangely swift, and there is no way to expose the destination. It was only after they left that the news was delivered through the chatter of the survivors.

With no sign of a change in the situation, Noctane began to prepare for war and put the knights into action. If they believed in electricity, a foreigner who was easy to use and dispose of, they judged that the Eastern Border would be utterly destroyed.

Just then, Adenberg's cavalry, which was swinging inside the border, retreated. It was a clogged time to cut off the source of the power.

Nochstein's fury at the border was great, and violent nobles among them stood up and claimed all-out war. However, Nochtaine did not have a good relationship with the surrounding countries in order to wage all-out war. Giving the invasion billy was likely to tear the kingdoms of the north and west, rushing like jackals.

The violent noises of the nobles subsided, and the war ended that way.
