Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 10. The Fall of Iron Castle (3)

“Ahh, ahh! ”

“Ouch! Ouch! ”

I thought I could hear a scream from the sky. Suddenly, the entity of the long shadow falls. The ladder that lay across the Bolvane barrier was knocked down by the enemy.

“Damn it!”

Duke Kailen suddenly drops to his knees and picks something up. It was a ladder that just fell to the floor.

“Let's go! If we retreat today, we will never take this castle." Run even if you die! ”

Duke Kailen starts climbing up the ladder, terrified of the end of his scream.

Duke Kailen, general commander of the Delos expedition in Bren Kingdom. The Supreme Commander himself began climbing the ladder up the wall.

“Waaaah-ah! ”

A shout erupted from everywhere. Getting into combat actively without hiding behind the scenes is not that rare. Brave commanders often fought alongside knights or mixed battles with soldiers in times of crisis.

However, it was never before in the history of the continent that the commander climbed the ladder directly into the enemy's walls in the siege.

It lifts the courage deep within the soldiers' hearts. No, even without courage, it was a sudden spill.

And another echoing summons.

“Follow me! ”

There is a continuous shout. The morale of the Kingdom of Bren has been high as they struggle and flock to the walls.

Tak, Tadahak!

The soldiers, who have never been able to move quickly, begin to walk up the ladder without hesitation.

“Hmm!"

I don't know if it went up halfway. Suddenly, I felt the power applied to the ladder. The Delos imperial guard on the wall was pushing the ladder up by Duke Kailen.

Duke Kailen sees that and picks out the halberd that was holding him on his back without any embarrassment.

Quadruple!

And Halberd is stuck in the wall. The ladder will no longer fall back as you hold the halberd tucked into the wall with the ladder in your arms.

“Ugh!"

You hear a powerful sound over the wall, but the ladder is secured as if pinned to the point.

Duke Kailen, who secured the ladder to the halberd in the castle wall so that the ladder no longer goes over, rushes up again, teasing his hands and feet.

Swoowoowook!

The moment you climb to the top of the wall, a sharp wave blows through. The Knights of the Delos realm stabbed the duc with a spear when they saw Duke Kailen's morale rise.

But Duke Kailen never blinks again.

“Hmph!”

Rather, I snorted and grabbed the flying stick with my hands, unless I was holding the ladder. He then pulls the spear, embracing the power of the stabbing force.

“Ahhhh! ”

While one of the knights who stabbed the spear fell to the ground screaming, Duke Kailen reached the top of the castle wall.

“Kuhahaha! I'll kill you all! ”

The Knights of the Delos Kingdom and their soldiers rush toward Duke Kailen, who is blowing up the mineshaft.

And Duke Kailen starts running towards them.

Shhh!

The Duke's lifelong favorite weapon was Halberd. Using its heavy weight, its destructive power was the perfect weapon for the Duke's personality. Unfortunately, I used that Halberd to secure the ladder, and now I only have the spear I took from the enemy knight, but the destructive power it has brought me all my life.

“Rrrrgh!”

A scream erupts and a hot bloodline spills out toward the duc.

Dark nose-tingling blood, the screams of a unicorn riding the wheel of a Federation ear, dizzying red bloodstream, the taste of bitter blood on the tip of the tongue, and the terrifying sensation of it climbing up the fingertips while dividing the flesh of the enemy.

The battlefield was the best place to satisfy all of his senses. And the more stimulated the sensation, the more power rose from the depths of the body.

“Kuhahahaha!”

Duke Kailen, who relentlessly blows out a photon mill and swings a spear, is no longer a man's thing. One fatty.

But he was no longer a reliable guardian for his allies.

Due to Duke Kailen's actions, soldiers from the Brent Kingdom leap over the walls in succession.

Bang, bang!

Suddenly, a chariot starts slamming at the gate as the troops on the wall swarm.

“Duke, take it! ”

Duke Kailen turns his head in a familiar voice, and a halberd flies this way.

Tak!

The Duke who received Halberd swings in that direction. Two more canes of scream erupt.

Just then, I looked at the man who threw the weapon, and I saw his deputy, Bird of Haven, running toward me with a frown.

“Please don't go alone! ”

If anyone saw a screaming figure, it was rude. But it wasn't much of a concern to Duke Kailen. No, it was the most comfortable attitude.

The Duke should not be allowed to enter the battlefield by himself, but his deputies and direct knights were also more concerned with their personality than their status. That's why they were mostly men of destructive nature who enjoyed fighting, and in so doing this attitude was quite natural.

“Hahaha! Good work coming up! ”

“Thanks to you, I'm comfortably up! ”

Unlike any of the other deputies who usually do administrative work, Deputy Duke Hayben was a man who had never properly seen any paperwork. He also enjoyed fighting with the influence of Duke Kailen.

“Okay, let's go! ”

Duke Kailen runs forward with a shout. And the late Knights of Kailen charge forward side by side with Bird of Haven.

The wall was covered in blood in an instant. It was almost impossible to stop the relentless Bran Empire forces from escaping due to Duke Kailen.

You're in charge, Kuaang!

The wagon that was constantly tapping finally broke down the gate.

Earl Balsen, the leader of the battle under the Wall of the West, and Earl Adele, the commander of the Western Army, shouted at the same time.

“The gate is open! Charge!”

“March! March! ”

Bren Kingdom forces are swarming through the gates at terrifying speed. And a bloody wall. The results were already out. The Delos imperial army was also aware of this and began to grow white everywhere. Soldiers, one by one, drop their weapons to the ground.

Usually around this point, it was a matter of taking prisoners and finishing the battle. At least by the standards of Earl Valsen. But a terrifying proclamation that roars from the walls.

“Kill them all! ”

Earl Balsen, who was about to leave, stops. It was because I knew too well what I was going to see when I went through that gate.

Longevity that never accepts surrender. That was Duke Kailen. Only the extermination battle is considered the best, leaving only ashes where he passes.

I have heard rumors that he eats human flesh and drinks human blood, and has enjoyed brutal battles.

The Count Valsen was quite the opposite of Duke Kailen. I believe winning with as little damage as possible is the best combat.

So Duke Kailen's fighting style couldn't have been good.

But the matter was entirely Duke Kailen's. Even though it was a cruel nature, it didn't mean that it wasn't a good weapon. In fact, Duke Kailen has never lost a single battle.

So even if I had a complaint, I couldn't say anything. We just follow orders and fight.

“Ahhhh!”

“Help me!" ”

“You devil! ”

All sorts of screams echo through the walls. Earl Valsen waits outside the gates until the sound is completely silent.

“Ugh, ugh! ”

A groan comes from Caith's mouth. Lycaen, who was side by side, goes after him as a habit.

“Be quiet. ”

“Grrrgh!”

“Let's be quiet. You're going to get caught.”

At that moment, Caith pauses his hand as he reaches out and looks at Lycaen.

“You, be honest. You knew, didn't you?”

Lycaen smiled and asked again.

“What?”

“This cliff! ”

Sheaek!

A sharp sound of wind passes through the ears of two people. The place where the two men are standing, or hanging, was a cliff so high that the end was invisible. Not just the two of you. In addition to Wolf, Julia, Dunbane and Tail, all the knights are climbing the cliff.

Grab a sharp dagger in each hand, reach for it, stick it into a cliff, and pull yourself up. Then, carefully pull your foot upward with the dagger in your opposite hand and slightly support your foot on the bumpy cliff side. Then he pulls out the dagger that he initially stabbed into the cliff and carefully pulls himself upward.

It was a very difficult and boring repetition of movements.

“Ugh…. ”

A hollow groan comes from Caith's mouth.

When the morning sun rose, the moon was in the sky now. However, the cliff did not climb halfway up.

Will we be able to climb to the end of the cliff like this? Then I turned my head to the side.

Kwaek!

The hand of the dagger is full of strength. It doesn't look like it's hard to pull yourself up after all. A man who climbs cliffs so hard. He was Yulia, no one else.
