Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 87 Kill the Emperor (1)

A new order has been issued to the Southern Imperial forces heading for the province of Liducia.

‘Fall back to the Province of Foreign Affairs and join the local Imperial Army. ’

The southern militia joined forces with the Imperial forces of the Foreign Legion to become 500,000 troops, and Earl Renkal, who was in charge of the Imperial Army commander, joined them to conduct the line smoothly. They waited for an army to land in the province of Forein.

500,000 was never a small number. It was a number the landing army could never afford.

Thus, a coalition force of 200,000 and a Liberation Army of 100,000 were joined, with 400,000 armed forces, reorganized into coalition forces, and the commanders were unusually co-commanders of Kang Sung-jun and Leia.

“Commander, our allied forces have crossed the border in the Foreign region. ”

“We're still closing the streets on our side. According to the research by the Madodologists, our outposts will be spotted within a few days in the range of enemy long-range attacks. ”

“We need to step into intercept. We should march towards our enemies and hit them. ”

Chief of Staff from the Imperial Army Command argued. But Renkal shakes his head. I didn't like the opinion.

“It's all wrong. We stick to our current position. ”

Renkal declares.

“Commander, at this rate, we're going into enemy fire control. ”

“We know that hurrying to the rear can do a lot of damage to our enemies. ”

The chief of staff objected. But Renkal's thoughts have not changed.

“What do you think the number of our troops is? ”

“500,000.”

“Do you think 500,000 troops moving quickly will escape the enemy's bombardment…? It would be better if that time effectively deployed defensive magic to stop the firing. ”

“I had no idea. ”

The chief of staff responded, taking a step back. Renkal nods with a satisfied expression.

“Gather as many troops as you can. ”

“But that would be a lot of fire damage. ”

“Distribution reduces the effectiveness of defensive magic. Don't be silly. Give the order before you get into firing range. They won't be able to hold off the artillery for long. Hold tight and reinforcements will arrive. Then we can outrun them. ”

“Very well. I'll let you know immediately. ”

The Imperium forces are on the move. All unmanned reconnaissance vehicles from above have been captured and sent to the Allied Forces Command.

“As you can see, the 500,000 Empire troops are in tight formation. ”

“A few more missiles and we'll be gone. ”

Someone said something in the Chief of Staff's report.

“But the missile attack will be difficult. We'll be intercepted before we even get close. Missiles against the Imperial Army are a waste of resources beyond disruption. ”

Seong-jun rebuked me. Even the chief of staff nodded.

“Looks like they're in tight formation to counteract our firing tactics. ”

“I think so, too. Commander Leia.”

General Nielsen is in charge of the reorganized Joint Chiefs of Staff and has been empowered to comment on Leia.

“How many shells...?" ”

Seong-jun asked. His gaze was still stuck on the monitor.

“We have enough. ”

Someone answered, Seong-jun's mouth painted a hose.

“Is that enough to keep shooting for 24 hours? ”

“Of course. Divide the troops and fire in shifts, the firepower will drop slightly, but it's not impossible to fire for 24 hours." ”

“Good, go ahead. ”

A artillery unit has been deployed. The effective range of K9 Self Population is longer than expected. Enemies are far away, but they will soon be in range. It was the Imperial Army Command's mistake to choose the best position.

“An area occupied by enemy troops has entered effective jurisdiction. ”

“The deployment of the Self-Defense Force has ended. ”

Progress was reported in detail through the contact officer. Seong-jun finally checked the placement of the autonomous troops and the unmanned reconnaissance stations of the Empire Army, and opened his mouth calmly.

“Fire in the hole. ”

Fire in the hole! ”

“Deliver to each unit! Fire in the hole!”

The orderly purple artillery fires cannonballs in unison. Cannonballs fly in a trajectory and spill like rain on an Imperial garrison. It was literally a rainstorm made of cannonballs.

“Shots fired!"

“Unleash your defensive magic! ”

Defensive magic has been deployed.

Boom, boom! Boom!

The loose cannonball strikes a magical shield and ignites a series of explosions.

“A 30-minute artillery strike is underway! ”

“The damage is no bigger than I thought! ”

The Imperial Army command continues to report on the messengers.

“Behold! I say we minimize the damage! ”

Renkal raises his voice with confidence. At this point, everyone in command thought Renkal was right. But it wasn't.

“Shots continue to fire six hours later. ”

“Enemies won't stop. Some defensive enchantments were destroyed because they could not withstand firing. ”

“Your damage is increasing exponentially. ”

“The magical powers of the wizards are not holding out for long! At this rate, you'll have less than an hour before most of your defense magic is destroyed by Durability or can no longer be sustained by Magic exhaustion! ”

Unlike at the beginning of the shooting, the messengers reported negative things. The situation was not good. Renkal bites his lip hard enough to spill blood.

“Since this happened! Incoming! Send the cavalry and the non-dragon knights first! Infantry advances to second position! ”

It's a long way to the Alliance garrison. That's why Renkal's plan is to deploy a highly maneuverable force first.

“But Commander! Without the support of infantry... ”

“I can't help it! At this rate, everyone will die! This is for the best!”

Renkal pushes his plan forward. Eventually, the cavalry and the non-dragon knights set out first, followed by the infantry.

“Enemy air force and maneuvering forces have been identified. ”

Reported directly to command. A squadron of scouts at the altitude was watching the whole thing.

“Deploy assault helicopter squadrons and prepare for air defense. and use it to block the cavalry from approaching some of the firepower of the autonomous troops. ”

Seong-jun gave the order. The newly formed Joint Chiefs of Staff admired the calm appearance of Seong-jun.

They will think that Seong-jun has no military experience, but in fact, Seong-jun has the memory of Rowkel, who was the best knight in his past life, so he was more knowledgeable of the Imperial Army's strategic tactics than anyone else and was able to respond calmly.

“I understand.”

“And launch enough surface-to-air missiles. The Wizards of the Non-Dragon Knights will intercept you, but they'll buy us some time. ”

“I'll get it to you right away. ”

The army moves. The artillery fire never stops. You join the standby ordnance and unleash your cannons.

500,000 troops and 70,000 troops of horsemen and non-dragon knights alone. They were moving fast, but the K9 purgatory was too long, and the distance between the Allied forces and the Empire was too far. The reinforced warhorse sprinted, but it didn't just take a long time to get near it, it also lost more than half of its troops.

“Enemy air troops are in control of your anti-aircraft chariot! ”

“Open the air lock. Don't let them near you. They must be transporting elite troops. And, Leia, deploy the Hunters just in case. ”

Seong-jun said, Leah nods instead of answering. Then I started giving orders to the deputy next door.

“Enemy maneuvers have joined you! Air force breached the perimeter fence. ”

“A huge force is falling in the air! ”

It looks like the Non-Dragon Knights have transported elite troops here. Just as Seong-jun expected. Earl Renkal, who is in charge of the Imperial Army commander, rolled his head a little.

“I'll intercept!”

The air tanks and artillery were relentless in their saturation. Some of the elite troops on the descent become honeycombs and scatter blood in the air, but most land safely and draw their weapons.

“Commander, Commander.... ”

“Go for it!"

Ordinary soldiers could not face the elite forces of the empire. Screams erupt from everywhere.

Leah would have faced a much worse situation if she hadn't deployed the Hunters.

It was a moment when I thought I was taking out the elite troops infiltrating the garrison.

“The troops stationed in District 13 are collapsing at a rapid rate! ”

“Exterminated 2 squadrons and 30 Hunters! There are currently two Class S Hunters stopping with elite Liberation forces, but they won't last much longer! ”

There were negative reports.

“Sir Luto. This must be... ”

Seong-jun's gaze was on Luto, the Liberation Army operations chief. I had an ominous feeling.

“Yes, I think it's what Sir Kang Sung-joon is thinking. Looks like the Sword is strong. ”

“How many do you think? ”

“It's hard to figure out the exact number, but given the current situation of the Empire against the Royal Alliance, the number of swords involved in this battle will not exceed two. ”

Luto cautiously predicts. Seong-jun nodded his head and looked at Leia.

“Lead the way, Leia. Operation Nielsen and Operation Lee Han-gyu will take care of it, so it shouldn't be difficult. And Lord Erina, come with me. ”

If Ruto's prediction is wrong and there are more than three swordsmen, it's a bit difficult on its own. I am confident that I will not lose, but it will take some time before the battle is won. I didn't intend to leave the command control room empty for long.

“It's not that hard. Sir Kang Sung-joon.”

Seong-jun left the command control room first, and Erina happily followed. They immediately moved to District 13. And the sword appeared before them.

“One person……. ”

Seong-jun raised his sword. I didn't know how far the sword was in front of me, but I thought it was a good thing there weren't many.

“Welcome, White Devil. I am the proud sword of a great empire! Radiv!”

He didn't seem to belong to the Special Forces or the 13th Knights.

“The White Devil...... Waiting to face your sword." My position in the Empire will be higher if I take care of you! Come and be my successor! ”

“Fool……. ”

Seong-jun shook his head and raised his sword. Erina is already pulling up her magic. Then the battle began.
