Episode 254: The long-awaited victory
Herald swung his great sword sharply, instantly knocking down the cavalryman who tried to block his path. Soldiers with spears on either side of him attacked him,
“Wow!”
Herald struck out all of the spears with his great sword with a strange movement. He decapitated not only him but also two of his soldiers in an instant. The soldier who lost his head spewed a fountain of blood into the air and fell backwards.
The cavalrymen who were charging toward the Herald pulled on the reins and stopped their horses. This was because the sword the Herald was swinging was so fast that it was difficult to follow it with his eyes.
“Three, oh my…”
“Well, isn’t that a monster… ?” …”
The sound of the cavalry whispering could clearly be heard in Theorod’s ears.
‘What on earth are you doing?’
Theorod was equally astonished. No matter how you look at him, he appears to be much bigger than himself and has great strength and skills.
“This is so rotten…”
Theorod gripped the reins tightly.
The archers on the castle walls and the infantry surrounding them from all over did not feel like much of a threat. However, the spirit exuded by the man on the red horseback horse was of a different class. It felt as if a ferocious beast was staring at them.
“Little Duke. “What should I do?”
A cavalryman right next to me asked.
‘If you hesitate here, you will give your opponent a chance!’
“Don’t stop, just attack! “You can win if you force yourself to the limit!”
The cavalry rode back under Theod’s command. They grabbed the hilt of their swords and took a ready stance to swing at any time.
‘My body was taken over by excitement.’
The Herald looked at the scene and raised the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his ear. It had been almost 10 years since I stood on the battlefield, but the feeling of swinging a sword was still alive. Moreover, my physical strength was still as good as it was back then.
But the Herald was so excited that he unconsciously held on to his senses to keep him from going on a rampage. Running wild on the battlefield was an act of inviting death.
In a word, it meant that those babies running towards him were no different from inviting death.
“Hey!”
The Herald rode his horse again. He quickly read the direction from which the attack was coming, and instead of dodging, he swung his great sword first.
“Ouch!”
After knocking two people off their horses at once, Herald immediately swung his great sword again at the next target. The cavalryman who was attacked tried to block it with his shield, but was overcome by his strength and fell off his horse.
And his horse trampled the fallen soldier.
“Kwaaak!”
There was no hesitation in his attack. He only had confidence that he could defeat the enemy unconditionally.
Not only Theorod but also the cavalrymen who followed him were astonished by the ridiculous sight. However, the attack could not be slowed down.
“What are you doing! “Quickly stop that monster!”
The cavalrymen, unable to disobey orders, rushed towards the Herald, but fell in vain like leaves in a cold wind.
‘I guess I can just defeat that guy.’
The Herald looked sharply at Theorod as he ordered his cavalry to charge. Still, he calmly defeated the rushing cavalry.
As a result, almost half of the duke’s cavalry disappeared.
“…”
At this point Theorod was dazed. He even wondered if he might be dreaming. But the moment he noticed the Herald charging towards him, he realized this was real and raised his sword.
-Chaeng!
The moment the blades collided, a loud noise rang out along with sparks.
“Pfft!”
Theorod almost lost his sword for a moment. This was because the sword the Herald swung was heavier than anything I had ever experienced before.
“Oh my. “I guess you can block my sword?”
The Herald smiled as if he liked it. However, from the perspective of Theorod and his cavalry, it was no different than the laughter of a messenger.
‘I can’t die in vain like this!’
Theorod made a quick decision. It was just a matter of turning the nose around and running first.
“Little Duke! Where are you going!”
His men shouted in panic, but Theorod only walked further and further away.
“So, where is the kid who wants to play with me!”
Meanwhile, the Herald was standing behind them. The cavalrymen looked at each other for a moment.
The general who was supposed to command the battlefield ran away. In this situation, there was only one option for the subordinates.
“It’s a retreat, a retreat!”
The cavalrymen also turned their horses and chased after Theorod.
However, Herald Nedville was not the type to just spare a defeated enemy.
“Hey guys.. Hey guys! “What kind of fun is running away?”
The Herald immediately began pursuing the rear of the retreating enemy.
And Duke Howard Montersen, who had been observing the situation from afar, lost his flagship
“No! How could he, Baron Harald Nedville…? ? …”
Eventually, he remembered one fact. The Empress’s direct secretary is Luke ‘Nedville’.
‘I hadn’t even thought of that possibility!’
He hit my forehead with his palm. I thought I had a good understanding of the imperial family’s military history, but it was a disappointment.
Moreover, the warlock who had been persuaded with difficulty had not done anything since he had attacked just once.
What on earth is going on in Willa Mountain? …
The duke looked anxiously toward the southeast, where Mount Willa was located. But nothing happened there.
“It is not the time to be like this.”
As long as the cavalry was defeated, this revolution was as good as a failure. As the possibility of being accused of being a traitor increased, I had to leave the empire as quickly as possible.
He mounted the horse hitched next to him and rode toward the duke.

Meanwhile, the battle between Luna and the warlock continued endlessly.
When the warlock attacked with magic, the Luna crew quickly avoided it. Then, he found an opening and launched an attack that caught the warlock off guard.
In the process of going back and forth between attacks and defenses, not only Lucia but also six of his crew members fell into a state of inability to fight. But now there was no time to kill them.
‘Defeating the enemy in front of you is the top priority.’
Ilayna landed on the tree and glared at the warlock with sharp eyes. At that time, Nellie, who had landed on the tree next to her, spoke to Ilaina.
“Ilaina. “Don’t you think that guy has definitely weakened?”
“Huh. “The attack power has become weaker than before.”
No matter how powerful a warlock was, it would not be easy to deal with twenty combat-specialized members attacking him at once.
“It would be nice if I could know exactly how much magic power I have left.”
Nellie clicked her tongue in disappointment.
“I’m worried about the captain and the other kids too.”
“We just have to take it down a little faster.”
Ileina let out a steady voice, and Nelly nodded her head.
“You have to break the staff first.”
“What do you plan to do?”
Ilaina was troubled by Nellie’s question. They have continued to attack the staff and the warlock until now.
Thanks to this, he succeeded in inflicting wounds on the warlock’s body, including the robe he was wearing. However, the cane was still in good condition.
“There is no choice but to cut it down…”
Ileina took out her new dagger from her arms.
“I’ll get your attention.”
“Please.”
Immediately after Ilaina nodded her head, Nelly jumped down on her. After a while, the crew members who were observing the situation from another location began to follow her.
Nelly gave the signal with her black whistle.
“…”
Ileina adjusted her dagger, then she jumped from the tree. She was planning to attack the warlock at any time if Nelly and her crew gave her an opening.
Meanwhile, warlock Calcia felt very uncomfortable when she saw the Luna members rushing towards her.
‘These rats are more nimble than I expected…’
She thought a few attack spells would be enough to annihilate her, but now she realizes she was wrong. Moreover, there was not much magical power left in her body.
Still, she succeeded in taking down five of the rats. Since the rest were also exhausted, Calcia decided that it would be possible to hold on just a little longer.
Then, I will use up all my remaining magical energy and burn the rats without a trace.
Six members, including Nelly, approached Calcia very close. Calcia raised his staff to cast black magic.
‘Now is the time!’
As Ilayna kicks her ground and tries to move forward,
“I’m coming!”
Lucia appeared out of nowhere and ran past her.
“Captain?”
Ilaina started for a moment.
Lucia had already lost a lot of blood and was in such critical condition that it would not be surprising if she died at any time. Yet she was doing everything in her power to kill the warlock.
“I take charge of the cane. “You aim for the heart of a bug!”
Ilayna had a hunch. This will be Lucia’s last command
Then there was the only one thing she had to do.
“Yes, Captain!”
Be sure to carry out the commander’s orders.
Ilaina followed Lucia at a distance. The opportunity would come only once, and she couldn’t miss it.
Lucia was out of breath as she ran.
It felt like her pierced abdomen she was shaking every time her feet touched the ground. She also felt a pain that made her feel dizzy and as if she was going to faint. But now was not the time for her to lie down in pain. She had to be treated quickly with bandages and hemostatic agents and then rush into the fight.
Taking responsibility for her fallen comrades and going into battle.
That was the weight of the title of Luna’s captain.
‘You have to fight like a leader.’
Even though I was in pain, I smiled strangely.
Meanwhile, the warlocks launched a storm towards the crew. However, the crew quickly evaded and then charged again.
Lucia fixed her gaze on the wand the warlock held in her hand.
How many times have I been in trouble for hours because of that damn cane? Moreover, no matter how hard I tried to break the staff, the attack didn’t work.
‘In that case, just take it away!’
Of course, even that wouldn’t be easy, and Lucia was aware of this. But if she doesn’t do anything, this side will be wiped out. She absolutely had to try.
Lucia took the chain that was tied around her from her arms.
‘I never thought I would use this…’
An unsuitable weapon for someone who specializes in stealth and assassination.
However, it was once a very widely used weapon. Fortunately, she felt good in her hands, and she sensed her from back then were still alive.
You can do it.
Lucia, as she returned to her senses, flung her chains towards her staff.
“!”
Before Calcia could react, her chains wrapped around her her magic staff her her her her.
“Guys! Stick!”
“Yes!”
The crew members immediately closed to the chains. Calcia attempted to attack the Luna crew with black magic.
“Hellfire.”
However, because Lucia and her crew kept pulling and shaking, they were unable to aim their magic properly and fired the ball of fire in the wrong place.
‘Not yet.’
Il Reina, who had hidden herself behind an invisibility cloak, was observing the warlock with her fierce eyes. The moment she had an opening, she planned to rush at the warlock.
Her her own colleagues she are struggling with her. So she should never miss the opportunity.
The tense tug-of-war between the warlock and the Luna crew continued. Lucia shouted at her to be more strong, and the warlock was struggling to hold on to her staff.
However, no matter how much of a warlock she was, she had no talent to stand up to her side. Calcia ended up losing her wand,
“Now is the time!”
Lucia shouted at the top of her voice.
Ileina threw off her cloak of invisibility and quickly rushed towards the warlock. Calcia noticed this and began to gather her magic power in her hands.
‘Faster!’
In the blink of an eye, Ileina closed the distance between herself and the warlock. The panicked warlock attempted to blast Ilayna with her magic, but
“Whoa!”
Ileina was the first to plunge her dagger into Calcia’s her heart her her her. Then she couldn’t overcome the speed at which she was running and she fell down with the warlock.
“Finish it!”
At Lucia’s command, the rest of the crew immediately rushed there. Only after seeing this did Lucia lie down on her ground.
Now I didn’t even have the strength to stand.
“Haha…”
Rough breathing came out non-stop. Even in the midst of that, she smiled.
She emerged victorious against the difficult warlock. She could be proud that it was a more valuable victory than any battle she had ever fought.
Suddenly, dawn began to appear in the sky. Has she ever seen the dark sky slowly turning into yellow light so beautifully?
“Pretty…”
But she couldn’t look at that scene for long. It was because a heavy feeling of fatigue surrounded her whole body.
‘A little bit…’
I think it would be perfect to close your eyes.
“Captain!”
“Captain!”
The sound of the crew calling him could be heard like an echo.
Everyone, you worked hard…
Lucia slowly closed her eyes. With a faint smile on her lips.

The morning was already dawning.
“I literally stayed up all night.”
Cecilia and I were in the situation room. Cecilia felt tired after caring for her wounded soldier, so she came in to rest for a while.
It was admirable to see her work so hard, even though she may not have been used to this kind of thing, and I thought she was a kind empress. Would you be happy if I told you later?
Flora and Mulia were now instructing the maids to carry out various tasks, such as moving wounded soldiers and supplying supplies.
Suddenly, her maids also grew up.
“I am so fortunate to have Flora and Mulia.”
“I think so too, Your Majesty.”
I went out of the tent for a moment and looked up at the castle wall.
Although I couldn’t see the battle situation outside the walls, I was able to get a rough idea of it from the sound. First of all, there are no more black magic attacks, and it seems like things are going quite favorably on our side…
At that time, a soldier running towards us came into view. As soon as he saw me, he waved his hand wildly.
“All enemies have retreated! “It is our victory!”
“!”
Not only me, but the maids and the wounded soldiers all turned their heads towards the soldier. After a while, they raised their arms high and shouted for independence.
Flora and Mulia expressed their joy by twirling around on the spot while holding each other’s hands.
Well, this is not the time!
I quickly came to my senses and went into the tent to inform Cecilia of her victory.
“Really! “We won?”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
At that moment, a soldier ran came into the tent. As the victory message flowed from his mouth, Cecilia could not control her joy and hugged me.
“Luke! Luke!”
I patted Cecilia’s back as she sobbed with joy. Then he gestured to the dumbfounded soldier to leave.
He bowed to us and immediately left the tent.
“I am truly fortunate, Your Majesty.”
“Yes!”
I was equally happy.
I was truly fortunate to be able to protect Cecilia, the empress of the empire, this fragile lover who was comfortably held in my arms.
