Episode 570: Don't Let Any One Escape. (1)

"Eww!"

Heeeeeeling!

"Stop it! Move quickly!"

"I said, get in line!"

The Artroad Army was thrown into chaos because of Jiselle's sudden intrusion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as Jisel broke through the ranks of the Artro forces, he swung his spear without mercy and attacked the surrounding area. He even hurled his magic spear in all directions.

The horses were busy running wild and falling over. The Artrode Army formation was quickly collapsing because of just one person.

Count Zyrus broke out in a cold sweat.

"This, this crazy guy… … ."

I knew he was aggressive from the rumors, but I never thought he would actually rush into enemy territory alone.

The Fenris Mobile Force had not yet arrived. They had to form up and run before then, but they could not do so.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Duke Fenris is swinging his spear like a madman, blowing away everything around him as he continues to cut through the soldiers.

Plus, that crazy horse wrapped in mana was a problem.

Heeeeeeling!

With each kick of the hind legs, the chests of friendly soldiers sank and flew away. It seemed as if the horse and its owner were playing separately, but that was also exquisitely powerful.

In fact, the Black King had become stronger than before.

Although he couldn't practice mana training, thanks to Jiselle consistently giving him mana, a small amount of mana was accumulating in his body every time he breathed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Count Zyrus shouted at the top of his lungs, glaring at the wildly jumping Giselle and the Black King.

"Get in line quickly! Just spread out to the sides! What are the priests doing!"

Infantry can make tactical changes even in the midst of melee combat. However, cavalry that cannot run cannot execute any tactics.

They had to spread out and move somehow, but it wasn't easy because of the rampaging Duke of Fenris.

The priests who had leapt forward eventually took the damage of their allies and released their energy.

Kwaaaaang!

The priests managed to surround Jiselle, blowing away the surrounding friendly forces.

Jiselle put away her window for a moment and smiled at the priests.

"Hey, you're here now? But you're a little late."

Before the priest could question him, the Fenris Mobile Force stormed in.

Kwaaaaang!

"Eww!"

The Artrode Army, unable to run and even broken into pieces, could not withstand the tremendous shock.

In an instant, their ranks were swept away. Nevertheless, the Fenris Mobile Force continued to push forward without stopping.

The vanguard of the mobile force was now mostly Fenris knights, mostly of upper-middle rank.

"Okay, let's go in!"

Paladin Gordon, who was completely incapable of using divine powers, shouted powerfully. Lucas, a fellow senior knight, also showed off his skills that had improved by leaps and bounds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Artrode army was defeated with absurd ease. It was hard to believe that they were the elite force that had conquered the Kingdom of Grimwell.

This was all a result of Jiselle distracting the ranks by focusing attention on herself.

The priests were panicked. It was obvious that if things continued this way, they would truly be destroyed.

"this guy!"

"We must kill the Duke of Fenris!"

Kwaaaaang!

Four priests and Jisel began the battle. The mobile force automatically dodged to the side and pushed back the enemies.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The priests also seemed to be in a hurry and poured out their energy without holding back. However, the black energy was repelled as soon as Jiselle swung her red spear.

"Oh… … Pretty much?"

Jiselle raised one eyebrow. He was of a higher level than the priests she had met so far. The ability of the four of them to pass the exam together was not something to be ignored.

At this level, even a superhuman would be able to handle it.

'I never thought you'd practice your skills to pass the exam.'

It seemed that he had found a way to deal with strong opponents. However, Jiselle was now a strong opponent beyond the standards.

Paaaaah!

As the third stage of the core was activated, Jiselle's spear turned a more vivid red.

Several times the strength of a normal superhuman was carried out through the spear.

Boom!

"Cough!"

In an instant, a priest's heart was pierced. It was truly lightning-fast and had terrifying destructive power.

But the priests were also superhuman. They tried to attack without missing a single moment.

Kwakwakwang!

"Huh!"

The priests were startled. Suddenly, Giselle's spear shot out, dispelling all the black energy!

It was an incredibly fast and sophisticated attack. Jiselle moved first before the priests could make another attack.

Boom!

With a sound like thunder, Giselle's spear pierced the neck of a priest. Unable to withstand the force, the priest's neck burst.

Phew!

The Black King also kicked the chest of the priest who was rushing at him from behind with his hind leg.

"Ugh!"

The priest who was hit stepped back. It seemed as if the knight was talking nonsense.

The horse and its master fought like madmen. The two remaining priests chewed their lips.

"What kind of cruel thing are you talking about!"

"I didn't know the Duke of Fenris would be this strong… … ."

I'd heard that he was strong, but I didn't know he was this strong. He'd already killed two people, even though they were skilled at passing the test.

If we continue like this, we will die. Since we are no match for him in terms of technology, we have to attack faster and stronger.

Gooooooo… … .

The priests began to draw on their life force, because there was no other way.

"oh?"

Jiselle's eyes widened in admiration. Until now, she had never seen a priest burn his own life force while fighting.

As expected, he was a priest belonging to the main force of the Artrode Army.

"The Duke of Fenris!"

"You die here with us today!"

Kwaaaaang!

The power of the priests, who had even exploded their life force, was great. But even so, Giselle did not get off her horse.

He simply fought to protect the Black King.

For him, this situation was also a part of his training.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Count Zyrus was at a loss as he watched the priests and Giselle moving at incredible speed.

The situation was desperate. The cavalry alone could not turn the tide of the war. The Duke of Fenris had to be killed somehow, and the priests had to come to his aid.

But Count Zyrus knew that that would not happen.

Duke Fenris was fighting the superhumans without even getting off his horse. He had killed two priests in an instant, so there was no way he could not defeat the remaining priests.

In the end, there is only one way left.

"Hold on! We have to hold on somehow! The 2nd Corps will come for us!"

The 4th Corps had 30,000 troops. It would take a considerable amount of time to kill this number.

Even though their formation had collapsed, the Artrode Army somehow continued to resist.

The 2nd Corps must have also set out after hearing the news. If they could just hold out until they arrived, there would be a slight chance of survival.

Now, the enemy's breakthrough power has also decreased considerably.

If we spread the news here, the 2nd Corps will also rush over.

"Tell the 2nd Corps this news immediately! Run quickly!"

The knights of the escort moved at the command of Count Zyrus. However, they were unable to leave the battlefield.

Kwaaaaang!

A pillar of fire rose up behind the Artorod army, engulfing the knights who were trying to escape.

It was a spell cast by Vanessa, who had followed the Fenris Mobile Force. She was only targeting the troops that were escaping without engaging in battle.

Count Zyrus looked dumbfounded.

"Why… … magic… … why?"

There were also a considerable number of magicians on this side who were casting magic fields. Nevertheless, the magic was cast. This meant that there were at least 7th circle magicians on the other side.

For some reason, because I had never participated in battles until now, I had no idea that there was such a skilled person.

"This can't be happening… … ."

There was no other way now. We had no choice but to hold out until the 2nd Corps arrived.

The cavalry on both sides were now entangled with each other.

"Eww!"

"Push harder! Don't stop!"

"Hang in there! Hang in there! You'll be fine!"

The shouts from both sides echoed throughout the battlefield.

The spears and axes of the Fenris Mobile Force struck down the Arthrodians who approached without mercy.

Now, the breakthrough power has decreased, but they have already broken through nearly half of the enemy's formation and entered. The momentum and morale were incomparably excellent.

The Artrode army, completely destroyed even in its ranks, was pushed back helplessly.

What made the difference even bigger was each individual's skill and equipment.

Kwaaang!

Lucas' spear moved dazzlingly, blowing away the heads of the enemies blocking his way.

Gordon also showed off his huge muscles and swung an axe and spear in both hands.

"Hey, pee-pee. Have you gotten a lot bigger?"

"Shut up! Before I kill you! I am a holy knight appointed directly by the saintess!"

"I think it's a shame."

The two men fought repeatedly and killed the enemy.

The Fenris Knights, who had undergone hellish training and countless actual battles, displayed truly overwhelming strength.

Even though he only brought half of his men, their number reached a whopping 200. The knights alone were enough to kill thousands of enemy soldiers.

The mobile force was also strong. As the best of Fenris, they pushed back the enemy with their outstanding skills.

Artrodegun felt a sense of despair even while fighting.

Teeing! Teeing!

"Damn it! The weapon isn't working properly!"

"Take advantage of the opportunity! Attack the horse and knock it over!"

"How can you move like this wearing heavy armor!"

The armament made of galvanium boasted overwhelming defensive power. Ordinary soldiers could not penetrate the armor.

Because the material was light, the mobile force moved quickly as if they were wearing light armor.

The only way to deal with them was to wear them down and then knock them down. That really required several people to be attached to one person.

The cost of the engagement itself was not right. In the current situation, it was impossible to do so. The Artrode Army felt as if they were blocked by a huge wall that they could not overcome.

Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!

The number of soldiers falling, bleeding, from the attacks of the knights and mobile forces increased. The opposing knights tried to stop the Fenris knights, but they were all killed by the overwhelming number of enemies.

The battle gradually began to degenerate into a massacre.

"Ugh… … ."

Still, the Artroad Army fought somehow. They tried to block and dodge the attacks of the Fenris Mobile Force and inflict as much damage as possible.

Their pride and experience built up over time allowed them to continue fighting even when they were at a disadvantage.

Indeed, they could be called the elite of the Artrode Army.

"hmm."

Jiselle watched the scene as they fought against the priests.

He created this situation on purpose. It was to find out the average skill level of the main force of the Artrode Army that would fight in the future.

If we hadn't had the Galvanium equipment, we would have suffered significant damage. The enemies were trying to fight somehow even in the unfavorable melee.

"I guess I have to finish it now."

Jisel, who had confirmed the level of the Artrode Army, shut her mouth and raised her mana.

Boom!

"Cough!"

One of the priests who was fighting on equal terms with him was hit by a spear and fell to the side.

Jiselle immediately stabbed the remaining priest with her spear.

Kaang!

The priest, who had drawn on his life force, barely managed to block the attack. But the attack did not end there.

Kakakakakakang!

The spears moved at incredible speed. The priest tried to block them somehow, but it was impossible to block all the attacks that seemed to come from hundreds of spears.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time he missed an attack, the spear would pass through his body. The priest's shoulder, abdomen, neck, and thigh were mercilessly pierced.

"Keuk… … ."

It happened in an instant. I tried my best, but in the end, I couldn't stop it all.

As the priest with holes all over his body fell, another priest rushed at Giselle.

"this guy!"

He was angry and confused. He could never defeat his opponent alone.

The gap in skill was already big, and with my mind wavering, I couldn't launch a proper attack.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Phew!

In the end, the remaining priest just waved his hands and feet around, and ended up having his head pierced after failing to block a few attacks.

"Phew… … ."

Jiselle exhaled. It might have seemed like an easy win to others, but in reality it wasn't that easy.

The third stage of amplification consumes a considerable amount of mana. It can now be used for quite a long time since it is close to the previous stage, but it is true that it is still a burden on the body.

The four priests who just attacked were stronger than the existing priests.

Jiselle looked back and gestured. It was in the direction where Vanessa and the wizards were waiting.

Now it was time to end it.

Vanessa received the signal and casted magic through the opponent's magic field.

Boom! Boom!

A pillar of fire rose from behind the Artrode Army. Its power was weaker than usual due to the pressure of the magic field, but it was more than enough to sweep away the already fallen enemies.

"Eww!"

The Artrode army, which was already being pushed back, had no choice but to fall victim to magical attacks.

Even the magicians who were casting magic spells were engulfed in flames and turned to ash.

"Run, run! Everyone run and tell at least one person! Tell at least one person about this!"

Count Zyrus cried out with tears in his eyes.

At the same time, Giselle said, sticking out her window.

"Don't let a single one escape."
