Jaymon still felt like it was a dream.

The enemy's strategies and tactics were so bizarre that they seemed out of this world, but the intruders' destructive power and speed were also unbelievably strong and fast.

The number of Fenris troops charging towards the walls on both sides is only about a few dozen.

The number of people who have set up a defensive line to deal with them is several times that number.

'And yet, they broke through so quickly! How did these knights come out of Fenris!'

Count Cavaldi's soldiers were mostly heavy infantry, fully armed from head to toe, which gave them greater power in defensive battles.

Even if he was a knight, he couldn't kill heavy infantry this quickly.

'Are you saying that everyone is at the level of a senior knight? No, no. It's not at that level. The problem is those who are at the forefront.'

Jaymon glared at the knights at the front of both sides: Gillian and Kaor.

Gillian is a force to be reckoned with, especially in these melees.

During the last war, he was in a position similar to escorting Jiselle, so he didn't play a particularly active role.

But this time, when he led a separate unit to attack, Gillian showed a completely different side than before.

He showed up with all kinds of weapons hanging from his body and showed off his skills without holding back.

Paaak!

Even before he can approach, the flying projectiles pierce the heads of his enemies.

With each swing of his sword, the heads of enemies rushing at Gillian were blown off.

The attacks of the Cavaldi army, which had been swinging their spears and swords whenever they had a chance, were blocked in vain by Gillian's shield.

"Hey, back off!"

"It's a monster!"

"This is not an enemy we can deal with!"

There was absolutely no way to conquer it.

Even if you get a small wound, you will gain strength and continue to attack.

The frightened enemies retreated, only raising their thick shields.

The intention was to somehow stop it and buy some time.

Gillian snorted with an arrogant expression, threw down his sword and shield, and took out the axe on his back.

Kwaaang!

"Eww!"

The shield was of no use. Gillian's axe simply split the enemy apart, shield and all.

With every step he took, enemies were swept away like dandelions.

It was to the point where one could doubt whether these were really Cavaldi's armed men, one of the best in the North.

Eventually, three knights who had been commanding the other soldiers ran up and drew their swords at Gillian.

grasp!

Gillian's cheek, which was being evaded, was cut by the sword and blood flowed out.

Not missing the moment, the two knights launched a counterattack on both sides.

"Die!"

Knights from the North are considered to be rougher than those from other regions.

Indeed, the knights of Cavaldi, like the knights of the North, attacked Gillian aggressively.

But Gillian's attacks were even more brutal.

He didn't even think about avoiding the attack and just swung his axe in one direction.

Kwaaang!

The axe smashed the enemy knight's sword and plunged straight into his chest.

"Ugh!"

The knight fell to the ground with a single scream, his chest splitting open.

The knight on the other side took advantage of the gap and swung his sword.

But Gillian twisted his body and blocked the knight's sword with his thick forearm.

Thud!

It was blocked with a dull black sound.

"What, what is this?"

The knight of Cavaldi was at a loss. How could he block a sword imbued with mana with his forearm?

It was possible because he was wearing a toshi made from the skin of a Blood Python and it was emitting mana, but the knight was ultimately unable to resolve the question.

Kwajik!

That's because Gillian's axe flew in and split his head open.

"this guy!"

The remaining knight swung his sword with all his might, with an angry expression on his face.

Gillian narrowed his eyes and looked at the knight. It was the knight who had wounded Gillian's cheek in the first attack. Judging from his skill, he must have been the leader of the knights.

Kaang!

Gillian parried the flying sword with his axe. Then, with a swift movement, he pulled out the rather short and wide sword hanging behind his waist and sliced the knight's waist.

Phew!

That was the end of it.

As the knights who had been leading them died in an instant, the soldiers became terrified and retreated further and further.

Gillian continued to cut down his enemies again, holding his axe and sword in both hands.

Boom! Boom!

"Eww!"

"Run away!"

Every time I move, the road widens.

Gillian, whose skills had improved thanks to Giselle, could be called a true destroyer of the battlefield.

With Gillian easily breaking down the enemy's defensive formations, the knights of Fenris also found it easier to fight.

This is because with their current skill level, it was difficult to cut through the thick shield in one blow.

Thanks to Gillian, the knights following him were able to quickly break through the defensive line in front of the walls.

Kaordo, who was fighting on the other side, was not far behind in speed. In fact, his speed itself was faster.

"Run quickly! If you're late, you'll die by my hand!"

Kaor ran, urging the knights on.

If Gillian was like a giant hammer, destroying everything that stood in his way, Kaor was like a sharp awl.

He was so persistent in his pursuit of the enemy's center of strength that the friendly forces that followed him also had no choice but to have enemies on both sides.

Of course, the speed of breakthrough was faster than Gillian's, but it also became more dangerous.

Still, the smile did not disappear from Kaor's face.

"Ugh, it's been a while since we fought, so it's killing my mood."

He was originally a person who enjoyed taking risks. And the knights who followed him were no different from Kaor.

Because all the knights belonging to the Mad Dogs followed Kaor.

"Kuuuuu! This is the taste!"

"As expected, there are lots of fun things to do if you follow our lord around."

"Fly through the sky! Kill the enemy! Kiya, this is the life of a true man."

They are mercenaries who lived in the harsh north with only one weapon. Their nature of enjoying danger did not change even after becoming knights.

They were not even afraid of getting hurt, but rather stuck closer and swung their swords wildly.

The sight of that evil spirit made Cavaldi's soldiers retreat hesitantly.

From this side, three knights rushed out to stop Kaor.

"Whoa, now the guys with some taste have arrived."

Kaor, who was very excited, smiled cruelly and joined the three knights.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

There were several exchanges of attacks. Kaor, whose skills had improved significantly compared to before, easily blocked the knights' attacks.

Kaor's fighting style was quite different from Gillian's. Instead of counterattacking right away, he glanced at the knights.

Like a predator stalking its prey.

He didn't miss the enemy's brief appearance.

Phew!

"Ugh!"

Kaor's sword, moving like lightning, pierced the enemy knight's neck.

The blade was inserted into a very small gap between the armor, visible when moving.

The two remaining knights immediately attacked, but Kaor grabbed the dead knight's body and placed it in front of him.

Kaang! Kaang!

The knights' attack was blocked by the corpse of their just-dead comrade.

"Hey, you! What are you doing!"

"You desecrate the corpse of a knight! Don't you know honor?"

Cavaldi's knights were taken aback. They could not have imagined that their opponents, who were also knights, would do such a dishonorable thing.

And Kaor, not missing the opening they showed again, hid behind the corpse and quickly stabbed with his sword.

Phew! Phew!

Targeting vital points was his specialty. The remaining two knights also fell with their necks pierced.

Kaor spat and wiped the blood from his face, smiling with satisfaction.

"What's the big deal about a dead body whining? No matter how much I think about it, I still think I'm the strongest. Hehe."

Kaor continued, looking around at the frightened Cavaldi soldiers with his sharp eyes.

"Hey, I'll go first, so you go kill all the rest of them quickly. There's no time."

With those words out of the way, Kaor ran forward again, his only thought in mind being to reach the castle walls first.

However, thanks to Kaor's efforts, the path was clear. The Cavaldi army's defenses had already collapsed.

It wasn't difficult for the remaining knights of Fenris to kill them.

"These guys are easy! Kill them all!"

"Run! Run! Hahahaha!"

The knights of Fenris rushed forward, mercilessly slaughtering their discouraged enemies.

This all happened in just a few minutes.

Jaymon felt a chill run down his spine as he saw the Fenris army quickly advancing towards the walls on both sides.

'The wall is finished.'

The walls will soon be overrun and the command tower you are in will be attacked.

There is only one hope left.

The goal is to hold out without opening the gates until the allies arrive.

But that was just Jaymon's wish.

Those who massacred the troops at the gate were more brutal than those on either side of the walls.

Jaymon looked at him and screamed.

"Block it! Block the gate at all costs!"

The fighting near the gate was even more intense than on the walls, because more troops were being sent there than on either side of the walls.

But even though they had built the thickest defensive line, they were helplessly being penetrated.

Kwaaang!

"Eww! It's a monster!"

The Cavaldi army was collapsing in vain before Giselle's sword, which moved with its red eyes glowing.

Jiselle's movements were like lightning.

After drinking the poison of Blood Python, the amount of mana increased to a surprising degree. Jisel did not stop training her body to control that mana.

The power that had been building up without fail every single day was finally exploded here.

Cavaldi's soldiers did not even think of approaching Giselle. They could not surround her even if they wanted to.

Dduk dduk!

Because every time the red line moved in the darkness, several people's necks were cut off.

The knights of Fenris who followed behind also did not spare themselves and drove back the Cavaldi army.

All of Cavaldi's knights, unable to stand by and watch, began to target Giselle alone.

"Get out of the way! Get back!"

Five of Cavaldi's knights, who had bitten the soldiers, shot out towards Giselle.

Knowing that Jiselle's skills were formidable, he took up the challenge of joining forces from the beginning.

We need to catch that monster to turn the tide of the battle.

It is natural that the most important places are guarded by the strongest.

As knights who looked quite capable approached, Giselle waved her hand and pushed the knights of Fenris back.

Kaaaaang!

In an instant, space was created and a fight between five people and one person began.

The knights who swung their swords at Giselle were astonished.

Because Jiselle easily dodged or blocked all the attacks from all directions that the five people launched.

And then the counterattack followed.

Whirlilyrick.

As the sword spun around in Giselle's hand, one head fell off.

The knight, who was trying to attack during that gap, saw a red flash for the last time and lost consciousness.

The three remaining knights clearly realized that they were no match for their opponent.

Whether it was speed, strength, or technique, nothing could compete with him.

Although the commander of Cavaldi's knights is said to be excellent, he will never be able to match the skill of the one before his eyes.

Scratch!

Another one fell to the ground with his neck cut off, not even knowing when his opponent had moved.

Every time Jiselle moves, a beautiful red line is drawn in the air.

The line moved as if drawing a picture in the dark. It also seemed like a melody of intense music.

The knights could see nothing but that red line. If there is such a thing as the ultimate technique, this is it.

Scratch!

While they were unable to move, their gaze drawn to the beautiful lines, another person's head was cut off.

"Sword Master… … ."

The remaining one, unable to even think of attacking, lowered his sword and muttered.

I've never seen a Sword Master in person, but if someone who demonstrates these skills isn't called a Master, then who else is?

If I had to give the title of Master to someone, it had to be the person standing in front of me.

This person was truly worthy of being called the master of the sword.

Again the red line flashes and approaches.

Cavaldi's knight gave up on counterattacking and closed his eyes.

I have always lived my life dreaming of the ultimate swordsmanship as a knight. And right now, I have confirmed it with my own eyes.

Scratch!

No regrets. Those were his last thoughts.
