The Genius Blacksmith's Game
War. (5)
In Eunryeong-gun.
A knight was mounted on a horse, urgently weaving through the 200,000 troops.
However, the horse's condition was strange.
Heeheeheehee-
trembling
The horse's whole body was convulsing like a newborn calf.
Are you even tired of talking?
'oh my god…….'
After all, the horses must have been overworked even more than we were.
The horse, having a leg cramp, even drooled from its mouth.
Heeheeheehee… …!
Pfft-
In the end, the horse that had been crying fainted.
“Get up, you rascal. How critical is the situation right now…!”
The knight opened his eyes wide. Now is not the time for the horse's life to matter.
The reason he hurriedly rode his horse into Eunryeong-gun was to find one person.
“Commander! Commander Ruma!!!”
The knight's voice echoed loudly throughout the army.
“Commander Ruma! Where are you!”
The enemy commander has appeared!
“It is the enemy commander, Hyun-su!”
"Please appear quickly!"
The knight, now running on both legs, went around looking for Ruma, who might be somewhere.
“Look! Where are you! You escort the Commander forward, the situation is extremely urgent!”
Veins bulged in the knight's neck. No matter how much he shouted in a hoarse voice, Ruma and Look were nowhere to be seen.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are you looking for Commander Ruma? He’s right in front of you.”
“He’s not here…….”
"what……?"
The knight kept running nonetheless. He, too, was already completely exhausted, but he could not stop.
Gurgle-
The knight opened his canteen and wet his throat, then fell into shock.
It was the last water… …?
Their original plan was to fill up with water at a lake near the country of the prefecture before leaving.
But… there is still a long way to go to the lake.
Countless amounts of water are needed during war.
But you mean it's hit rock bottom?
“Ruma, Commander! Commander!!!!”
The reporter, realizing the gravity of the situation, kept shouting.
It was then that the current situation of Eunryeong-gun came into the knight's view.
Eunryeong-gun.
Those who are called that because they are armed with silver armor.
Those Silver Spirit soldiers were taking off their armor and helmets.
Oh my, it's so hot… I'm going to die from the heat.
It feels as heavy as a thousand pounds.
“What are you doing? Put on your armor right now!?”
“But it is too heavy…… like I’m going to die.”
“…….”
The soldiers' bodies were convulsing, and they were drenched in sweat, making it difficult for them to maintain their balance.
Among them, one obedient soldier was wearing armor.
He never took it off because he was a man who faithfully carried out the army's orders.
However, that eventually made the soldier's body unable to endure it.
The soldier fainted.
Are you telling me not to take it off in a place like this?
The knight looked elsewhere this time.
There is an outstanding cavalry unit even within Eunryeong County.
The 1,000 cavalrymen known as the Silver Cavalry are famous even in the Empire.
The anecdote about a mere 1,000 cavalrymen breaking through 100,000 enemy troops, killing the commander, and returning is famous.
Although they were merely a group, they were the kind of people who reached legend when they came together.
Those horses of the White Silver Cavalry had collapsed, sticking out their tongues and slumped limply.
“I’m thirsty. Where is the lake?”
"Just a little further to go?"
The article came to mind.
There is a huge lake near the country of Hyun. I will rest near that lake for half a day. The lake is teeming with fish, and I will fill my stomach with the surrounding animals and quench my thirst.
They had continued their grueling schedule in the hopes of finally getting some rest, but…
Just then, another soldier came running.
“……It is said that there are no lakes near the country of the prefecture.”
“……?”
Something is wrong.
The reporter raised his voice even louder.
“Commander, where are you? Stop playing games! Please appear immediately and lead us! Please execute Hyun-su, the King of the Kingdom of Hyun!”
“Commander!”
My throat was split open and bleeding.
However, no matter where I searched, Ruma and Look were nowhere to be found.
“야이 사령관 개새끼야아아아!!”
The knight's scream spread among the Silver Army.
The knight tried to rush forward in a hurry.
However, he too was thirsty and utterly exhausted, so he could not run forward.
one side.
Hyunsu, who had been standing in the sky, was descending to the ground.
What on earth is going on? The commander is away? Is that even possible?
From Hyun-su's perspective, it was a sound he couldn't understand.
“Charge!”
The Silver Dragon troops have landed on the ground and are charging. But their appearance is strange?
The Silver Dragon Army that Hyunsu heard of is clearly an army wearing dazzling silver armor.
However, the armor and helmets they had taken off were scattered on the floor.
And just as I was about to get tense at the thought of hundreds of thousands of troops charging in with their might…
“Why is it so slow?”
“……What are you talking about!”
“……Even crawling would be faster than that.”
They were running with all their might, but they were clearly slow.
Some soldiers ran and fainted on the spot, while others ran trembling with their spear shafts in hand, their legs giving way and falling over.
Eunryeong-gun arrived in front of Hyeonsu and swung those weapons.
“……As expected, you’re amazing. To dodge it so easily.”
“I didn’t dodge it?”
“……???”
The soldier's field of vision appears doubled.
The other soldiers are just as flustered.
“Is this the ‘state abnormality’ I’ve only heard about…?”
“……I didn’t use it?”
“Then did you write the Surrender Chronicle!? You bastard!”
“I told you I didn’t do anything…….”
The soldiers realized it belatedly. The reason they were seeing double was that their mental state was not sound.
For reference, Hyunsu really didn't do anything.
It is to the point where it is embarrassing to even avoid it.
Before anyone realized it, the Silver Army numbering 190,000 surrounded Hyunsu, and Hyunsu swung the Twin Dragon Sword.
Sugaaaaak-!
“Ugh!”
“Khaaaaaaak!”
“To think you killed five people at once, you really are as strong as the rumors say!”
Hyun-su was flustered once again.
“That one died of overwork. Didn't you see that just now? Collapsing while clutching his heart.”
Still, that amounts to cutting down four people at once.
Normally, it would be impossible for even Hyun-soo to do so.
Hyunsu, who had been unable to understand this perplexing situation for a moment, continued to watch Eunryeong-gun surrounding them and realized that the current situation was not good, regardless of their weakened state.
As many as 200,000 Silver Dragon troops had advanced right up to the doorstep of the County's country.
“You bastards!”
If they had advanced into the country of Hyun in this state, they would have suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties.
The capital must have turned into a sea of fire, and the corpses of the people of the county must have been scattered everywhere.
Crash-!!
Hyunsu's movements quickened.
The moment Hyunsu fully engaged in battle, the Eunryeong troops were taken aback.
The fact that over 100 Silver Soldiers turned to ashes and scattered in just 5 seconds was shocking.
Although they were certainly weakened, the decisive reason was that they took off their armor.
“Hurry and put your armor back on!”
“Put on armor if you want to live!”
However, throwing away the armor and charging was the cause of the trouble.
Whenever Hyunsu, who had swapped to the King's Sword, swung the sword, massive lightning strikes poured down.
Crackle, crackle crackle-!
Those who were electrocuted by the stun could not even move.
Furthermore, the fact that they have completely removed their armor means that their defense has dropped by at least 60%.
Kwa kwa kwa bang, kwa kwa kwa bang-!
The knights, realizing the gravity of the situation, confiscated all the remaining drinking water the soldiers had.
"Give it to me!"
“But I’m thirsty too…….”
Don't you know that it is better for us to drink than for you to?
All the knights quickly snatched the soldiers' water and drank it.
The rebellious soldiers were cut down on the spot.
It is only natural on the battlefield.
It was better for knights to drink the same bottle of water than for soldiers to drink it.
However, such a situation is bound to lower the morale of the army.
However, the knights felt the need to stop Hyun-soo, even if it meant enduring the consequences.
Crunch!
The knights saw dozens of soldiers being swept away by just a few swings of the sword.
The soldiers who rushed over belatedly hurriedly armed themselves with their silver armor.
“……It doesn’t matter whether I wear armor or not!”
However, even while wearing armor, soldiers were cut down.
Of course, the ability to easily cut down three at once was limited to one, but…
Thousands of soldiers, having come to their senses belatedly, immediately prepared to put on their armor in front.
In the meantime, the knights who had drunk water quickly swarmed Hyunsu from all sides.
No matter what kind of scoundrel he is…
They won't be able to deal with us easily…
However, Hyun-su began to read the flow of the battlefield.
Attacks by soldiers and knights poured down one after another, but…
"I can hold out. Even without wearing the Hyunmu yet."
The weakening of Eunryeong-gun played a significant role.
Judging by their attack speed and current situation, it is estimated that they have weakened by at least 30%.
As they piled up and piled up, before we knew it, the knights who had drunk the water arrived.
The knights' swords are clearly dangerous.
It was because a significant number of them could manifest sword energy.
however.
“Summon, Fenrir.”
Kuuuuuuuuuung-!
Fenrir descends with a massive shadow and advances, trampling over the soldiers and knights.
The soldiers who had not yet put on their armor were crushed just like that.
"Shit!"
“Ah, no!”
The reason the Silver Dragon Army, the strongest defensive unit, was dispatched was to prepare for Hyunsu's Fenrir and his 'Peerless'.
In fact, Silver Dragon Army had a defense that should normally prevent it from dying even when hit by Fenrir and Musang's attacks.
However, complex reasons such as being weakened or not wearing armor become one.
The armor and helmets worn by Unique-grade knights, who are two grades higher than ordinary Silver Knights, get crushed.
“Kuhhhh!”
“Coooosh!”
“Khaaaak!”
The knights who were far away were startled to see 20,000 troops falling in an instant.
There were users among them as well.
“Does this make sense…? Do you know how much Hyunsu’s HP has dropped just now?”
The NPC knights listened attentively to the words of the user belonging to the Parion Empire.
How worn out is it?
“……11%.”
A massive despair swept through Eunryeong-gun.
***
I need a sword to fight in my place. I need to dull that sword and have it stand by my side.
Current War Commander-in-Chief.
The current strongest in the Empire.
And… … the hidden position, ‘Captain of the Rebel Army.’
Lebanon inspected the rebel forces after sending a significant number of Farian Empire troops to all fronts.
The number of rebels is tremendous. It means that the Parion Empire is that rotten.
However, it was difficult for the rebels alone to handle the Parian Empire.
Therefore, he chose Hyunsu with his own sword.
It was judged that the country of the prefecture would suffer a major blow from this attack.
The country of the battered prefecture will certainly not remain idle.
That army will enter the Pharion Empire, and the Pharion Empire will be scrambling to stop it.
At that time, the rebels will move and seize control of the entire imperial city.
“We must not suffer too much damage. If we break rather than just become numb, our plans will fall apart.……”
Lebanon gave an order to Eun-yeong, who was hiding in the shadows.
And Lebanon rejoined the battlefield as commander to hear the current situation.
Just then, a reporter was rushing over to submit a report.
For some reason, the knight was coming at a very fast pace.
The prostrate knight submitted a report.
Approximately 160,000 foreigners deployed near the mountain in the County's country have been annihilated, and although additional troops are continuously being sent to the mountain, entry itself is difficult due to the mountain keeper.
“Admiral Manhae. Aaron has drowned, all 1,000 ships have sunk, and it has become impossible to enter the sea because the fisherman Akho is blocking the way.”
Fifty Colossi were dispatched to the territory of Valas, but they were all destroyed by the enemy's transcendent golem, Orgaen.
Eunryeong-gun is currently facing off against enemy commander Hyeon-su, and 30,000 troops were killed within 30 minutes of the battle breaking out.
“The enemy commander… what happened to Hyunsu?”
It is understood that the enemy commander, Hyeonsu, suffered no damage whatsoever.
Lebanon's eyes wavered.
All my plans went awry.
The blade, which I wished had dulled, was instead sharpened even more.
