The Grand Prince Has Run Away

There was a calm tension in the formation. The mercenaries and soldiers hunkered down to prepare for the invasion of Sky Despair, and Armida and Katrine stood to the left and to the right, looking for energy around them.

I fine-tuned the firing angle of the mace and looked up at the sky to the right. He's digging a blind spot. Then we can make the square into an extremity.

“He's reading our attack direction. Changing angles at random immediately after launch. ”

“Yes!”

Armida and Katrine shout at the same time.

“Here they come again! East!”

A camouflage that breathes fire. After the shell formed in a completely different direction, Sky Despay flew off course and into the northern sky.

I squirmed. If the shell had formed just a little later, it could have been a blow, but it was a shame.

Armida came running.

“How was it? Was it right? ”

“No, I avoided it before. ”

Armida's sister frowns.

“Quite a cautious fellow. ”

“Yeah, but I didn't see that before. ”

In my past life, Sky Despair was ruthless and unhesitant.

At that time, he slaughtered us without hesitation, and he was not at all cautious. Our troops who were right-wing and right-wing had it pretty well.

But now there was a completely different pattern of attacks. We were moving erratically, and now I'm dealing with a completely different strategy.

“Then?”

“Intelligent. Depends on the situation. ”

One fortunate thing was that the current tactics worked somewhat. Of course, it wasn't enough to push Sky Despair into a corner, but it was enough to discriminate between actions.

Katrina shouts.

“Come from the front! ”

I swiftly turn my head toward the front. Defenses are concentrated on both sides, so the front is sloppy. But if it comes from the front at that speed, it hits the cliff. I didn't think Skye Despair would do something so stupid.

Of course, if you slow down, you can attack frontally enough. But if I do, I'll have to be attacked by Armida's sister and Katrina's Sky Sword.

This big round rock bounces off the earth and collides with the cliffs above our heads. Excellent rock fragments pouring down with a bang. Sky Despair has risen from afar and is now grabbing the top of the cliff.

“Ugh. Ugh. ”

I hear the sound of pain coming from everywhere. A soldier falls to the ground half-naked, like he was hit by a large stone on his head, and some soldiers crawl out of the rubble, grabbing his wounded limb.

The impact is enormous. The life expectancy appears to be gravely injured.

“Shra. Princess Ignes. Heal.”

“Yes, I understand. ”

I gripped my teeth, looking straight ahead.

I didn't know Sky Despair could use tools. The rock that just crashed into the cliff appears to have landed in the middle of it.

“Come from the front again! ”

Once again, a large boulder is flying down quite low. At this rate, we must have swept through the soldiers and shield cars. I ran forward, raising the tide.

“This guy sounds like fun! ”

I smashed an ambushing rock with the yoke. Banging and explosive rocks. Immediately, a piece of stone scattered across my body.

When the dust clouds disappeared, my wounded appearance appeared. Luckily, you prevent the throwing attacks, but you do not do much damage.

"Tsk."

Sky Despair comes back and looks down at me, speeding around overhead. I wanted him to attack me, but he only gave me a proud glance and showed no action.

Sky Death Fair is about to fly away. I wiped the blood from my tongue on my forehead and returned to the fold.

“Master!”

Shura sprints to me with healing magic. Surrounded by a strong beam of light, I quickly felt a tingling of wounds.

Now, Bonnie and Dalahan's healing magic looks pretty good, too.

It is slightly further away from Princess Ignes' Shaia, but is far more effective than normal healing magic.

Soon after I finished my treatment, I placed two horseshoe doors and a crossbowman in front of me. It weakens the lateral firepower, but it cannot be emptied. If we just let it go, it will continue to be a rock attack.

After that, Sky Despair has attacked us many times. With a camouflage placed in front of you, the attack on the rocks has diminished, but getting through the weakened side defenses often tears through the iron net and escaping.

However, our defensive advancements have not weakened at all. We prepared a lot of iron bars with preliminary iron nets, and even without them, the damaged nets and bars could be recycled if they were tightly tied with wire or rope.

And fortunately, we had a good eye for fire magic. Heat up the cut and attach it to the cut, making it as strong as new.

* * *

Sheaek!

A part of the net is torn apart, with the sound of the waves as Sky Despair passes by. After several attacks, mercenaries and soldiers adapted to the pattern quickly crouched up to replace the damaged nets and prepare for his reentry.

Armida's sister approaches with an annoying face. It seems a little unfair after a few skirmish attacks near him.

“Him. Why is he flying so fast? There's no way to attack. I'll blow up the surroundings with a meteor collision. ”

If a meteor collision occurs, meteor debris will fly in a wide range with a huge explosion. Though it was a sufficiently effective attack, there were still a lot of factors that could be expected of luck. We can't aim and shoot at him, so we need to hope he gets in there by the time the magic kicks in, aiming for a random space.

“What if we fail? ”

“You can shoot again. ”

“What if it doesn't work? ”

“I'll shoot you again. ”

“And then what if it falls off? ”

Meteor collisions are powerful, nine-cycle magic, and they consume a lot of Mana. It wasn't magic enough to rely on luck and shoot.

“I don't know.”

“It's okay. Stay put. That's more helpful. ”

Now, the reason Sky Despair repeats only minor strikes is because Armida and Katrina exist. I'm sure they'll attack us if we don't break in.

He's a master class swordsman with magical resistance, except for his explosive speed. The battle was fought by the Valkyries.

“Problem is, we don't know how many days we're going to have to deal with him. ”

“Don't worry. He's not that patient. ”

Katrina yells at us.

“Front!”

At the same time as the gunshot, Armida's sister sprints out in a reflex. It's because I was familiar with the continuation of the rock attack. She swung her lover, Talattas, and threw a stone at him in a heartbeat.

I opened my eyes as I looked at the exploding rock. I don't know where that power comes from. Though it is said to be a small rock, its destructive power is considerable when it flies at this speed, but it is being crushed by force.

Armida comes back, her hands clenching to see if her wrists are sore.

“Anyway, I don't like him. I will hold it with my own hands. ”

“Suit yourself.”

I turned my gaze to the direction Sky Desert flew away.

His attack pattern has been simplified. To be precise, we were right about his pattern of attacks.

Even though Sky Despair was intelligent, there was no shortage of attack options in front of us with Valkyries and various weapons. That's how you get used to it.

‘Now, what are you going to do? ’

The only way Sky Despair can defeat us is by eliminating the Valkyrie, or by knocking down an obstructed defense formation with an iron shield car and an iron net. However, the former is not easy, so it will focus on the latter.

The single example was a stone-throwing attack. Although the existence of me and the two Valkyries made it meaningless, we were able to shake our defenses greatly if we succeeded.

“More coming from the west. It's pretty high this time. ”

After a short while, countless rocks swiftly fly towards you. The assault was a shotgun strike. Luckily, the assault failed heavily and passed over most of our heads, but some struck shield cars placed at the eastern tip.

I opened my eyes. This attack was fatal. It wasn't enough to destroy an iron shield car, but it was an attack that could do a lot of damage to a person.

“Everyone hide behind the shield and shield cars! ”

The rubble continues to fly. A stone that flew too fast to discern easily with its eyes, dislodges its shield and strikes the soldiers' bodies. The damage was not great right away, but the continuing buildup of damage came as a deadly result.

Soon a bunch of bloody soldiers and mercenaries groaned all over the place, and Shra and Princess Ignes cured them when they rushed around.

“Tis, report damage! ”

“There are two deaths. ”

Reports of casualties were omitted from Tis. The wounded are healed by our saints.

I looked at the pile of corpses on the back of the facecloth. Two deaths are not a big hit, but there is great concern that we cannot stop this attack. Some of the stones were blocked by Armida's sister and Katrina, but not many.

“This is really annoying. ”

“What do you want me to do? ”

“Right now, I'm the only one who can stand it. ”

I made a very irrational decision. I'm talking about a strategy that doesn't solve problems. But I couldn't take the army so easily. Most of them will die in retreat.

Princess Ignes, who was treating a mercenary nearby, said.

“Mr. White Face, I will strike the shield of light. ”

Guanghui's shield was Shaia's broad line of light defense magic. It shows considerable defensive abilities and prevents a stone from attacking, but the flaw is that it cannot continue.

Just as Mankind had limits, so did the seventh prayer.

“That's it. Just focus on the treatment. ”

After a brief thought, I found a solution.

I ordered the soldiers and mercenaries to dig a pit and build a pile of dirt. He was determined to increase the coverage and reduce the damage.

Soon, the trencher Faiza and I concentrate the shield guards on the artillery and crossbows, and the common soldiers avoid the stone throwing attacks in the trenches.

* * *

It is night. My lantern lights brighten the surrounding area, and I hear the sound of dining in the trenches.

Sky Despair's attacks are now largely understated because the rubble shoals didn't show much effect either.

There are often casualties in subsequent attacks, but no fatalities. The trench strategy was working. At this rate, Sky Despair had no choice but to find another attack. We are as harmless as we are harmless.

“He's not coming. ”

Armida said, "I chewed the bread."

“I'm taking a break. His stamina and Mana have limits. ”

“Maybe we should just back off? ”

“Never retreat. Did you see that thing running away from the target? ”

“Not really. No. ”

It was Armida's sister who accepted it quickly. Magic never runs away. To be honest, the pattern of Sky Despair's behavior, using a strike deviance technique and taking a short break, seemed strange.

“Either way, it's a choice. He dies, or we all die. ”

Armida's sister confidently captured Talatas.

“Then he's dead. ”

“Yes. Patience is our strength. ”

All we have to do is hold out until the end. Sky Desperate, for starters. Realizing that your attack doesn't work, you end up with a very common choice. To barge into the abyss, ignoring his own life.

So if you keep holding on, we'll finally have a chance.

“Mr. White Face.”

Princess Ignes enters the trench where we are. So I started with the bruising.

“What if I come here by myself in danger? ”

“Actually, I have a question for you. ”

“What?”

Princess Ignes stares me straight in the face.

“How did you know about this stuff? ”

“I've fought before. ”

“But they say this magic has never appeared in the world? ”

“Who said that? ”

“Lord Cartian.”

I looked at her curious gaze and sighed for a long time. This woman looks suspicious again.

“There are some things even the Valkyries don't know. Especially not about the world. ”

“But you can't know this powerful magic. Humans can never get rid of it. They must have done a lot of damage to humanity, and the Valkyries would have to go. ”

“How can you be sure of that? ”

“Even the Catherine can't catch it. ”

I got up from my seat with the rest of the bread crumpled in my mouth.

“It's not something you can't catch. ”

“But you're too strong. ”

“He's certainly strong. But it's quite tricky and not desperate. There's a real strong one. ”

I frowned thinking of a magic object. Actually, there are some really strong ones. Specifically, the Magic King Jord, along with a large horde of Magic Mowers, brought humankind deep despair like the cliffs of mourning.

Jod was strong enough to easily destroy Katrina's lead. And he was the one who brought down the Iron Wall fortress, Polkin Gate, and he was the one who came out of the last war and killed Duke Fabious.

If Jordanian came from a Prosian-continent other than another continent, the human army of Prosians would have collapsed in half a year.

Then Armida stood up and shouted.

“He's coming! ”

“Where to?”

“West.”

He tears the iron net apart and flies to the eastern sky in fear of speaking. But so far, it's been acting completely different. I had to fly in from Tum, but I made a quick detour to attack our advance again.

A soldier throws himself into the trench, egging his aura claw, and his quadrant fevers and drops his larynx. As the blood spreads to all directions, he fires a pulsating brace and explodes like a few mercenaries.

“Damn it!”

I ran out of the trench. Armida's sister and Katrina also flew out behind her, flying a heavenly sword.

Suddenly, a catastrophe strikes me in the direction he flew.

Is patience at its limit now? ’

The sheep are right, and the creature slits the throat of a mercenary who fled from the sword with a whirlwind motion and lunges at me.

Aura Blade and Aura Klur colliding with the sound of functioning. As the remnants of Aura spread to the four winds, Talathas and Idron, which are controlled by my psychic powers, chased closely behind him.

< If he persists, he will eventually run. > End
