Chapter 119 - Chapter 20: Blitz #2 (2/2)

Some time passed. They were just about to head off with the reinforcements.

“Royal Princess!”

The official in charge of the transportation formation came rushing towards In-gong’s group. He stopped in front of Felicia and screamed as he drew out several bundles of paper.

“An urgent message from Evian!”

“General Vandal?”

In-gong asked reflexively, and the official shook his head. He held out the bundles of paper and exclaimed,

“It isn’t General Vandal! Urgent messages from different bases came pouring in simultaneously!”

In-gong could tell that it wasn’t a normal situation just by the official’s white face. Kaparang asked the official,

“What is going on? Wasn’t General Vandal going to intercept the army?”

The barbarian king had led an army beyond the limit line, and General Vandal had led his army to intercept the barbarian king. It was General Vandal, so it shouldn’t be a situation where the other bases of Evian should be attacked.

“The barbarian king’s army turned out to be greater than expected.”

Alita took the papers from the official and spread them on a desk. There was a difference in the times that the messages were sent, but every place had an emergency.

Alita’s face became pale as she read the number of enemies reported at each base.

“It seems like he is trying to occupy the bases while Vandal’s army is tied up. Then General Vandal will end up being isolated.”

As soon as Alita spoke, Carack quickly unfolded a map of Evian and marked the location of the bases as well as General Vandal’s presumed location. As Alita said, if the bases were captured, it would cause serious problems by isolating Vandal’s army from the supply lines, making them unable to fight properly.

It was a strategy that wouldn’t be possible unless there was confidence in the number of troops. In other words, it was possible to defeat the army by breaking down the troops.

Felicia bit her lip and asked,

“Where is the closest place that reported an emergency?”

“It is the seventh base, but it is four days away from here. Even if we rush, we will only be able to make it in two days.”

Delia replied with a dark expression. The unit, which consisted of 400 elites, had high combat power and maneuverability, but there was still a limit.

At their fastest speed, it would take two days. That was too late. The seventh base would’ve fallen by then. An exhausted unit would be facing the enemy who had occupied the base.

Objectively, they should give up on the seventh base. It would be better to ask for additional reinforcements from the Demon King’s Palace and hope that General Vandal could hold on as long as possible.

Felicia closed her eyes tightly. Then In-gong said,

“We will get there in time.”

“Shutra?”

In-gong had manipulated his mini-map while looking at Carack’s map. He recalled the battle against the barbarians in Knight Saga and inferred the situation between General Vandal and the barbarians.

He had to cut off the barbarian’s offensive. In order to do that, he had to protect the seventh base. The problem was how to get there in time.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on In-gong as he looked up. He asked Felicia,

“Felicia noona, can you block anyone from seeing around the supplies?”

“Your Highness?”

Kaparang asked with confusion, but there was no time to reply. Felicia just thought about what In-gong needed instead of demanding the reason.

“I understand, I’ll do so. Daphne, can you help me?”

“I understand.”

Felicia and Daphne headed to the place where the supplies were located. Although Alita and Kaparang tried to follow, In-gong left them with Carack and headed to the supplies place with Caitlin. It wasn’t easy to make the mountain of supplies invisible, but Felicia easily solved In-gong’s demand. Felicia summoned the spirits of light and water at the same time, with Daphne assisting her. The spirits created mirrors that reflected the light that hit it and obscured the supplies.

Then it was In-gong’s turn. He placed the supplies for 400 people into his inventory. There was a limit to how much he could put in at once, so he had to utilize his inventory ability more than a dozen times.

Even Felicia and Caitlin, who already knew about In-gong’s inventory ability, were astonished. What type of powerful magic was it that it could store all these supplies at once?

Felicia tried to suppress her soaring academic desire to know, while Caitlin blinked. She was so surprised that she couldn’t even say her usual phrase.

By taking all the supplies, In-gong lightened the burden on the reinforcements and moved to the next step. Although everyone was perplexed by the supplies suddenly disappearing, In-gong issued a simple order.

The dark elves boarded the dracos, and the the lycanthropes used their beast forms.

At this point, both Kaparang and Alita realized In-gong’s idea. They didn’t know how he had taken care of the supplies, but it was still irrational. It was impossible to get there in time, and they would just exhaust their stamina while moving. What good was arriving at the battlefield if they couldn’t fight?

However, Felicia believed in In-gong. Kaparang and Alita were restrained, and everyone was forced to follow In-gong’s order.

Caitlin was no different. She ordered the lycanthropes to change to their beast and climbed onto her black hose.

In-gong asked Felicia,

“Remember Thunderdoom Fortress?”

“I remember. I can’t forget it.”

Felicia laughed while there were tears in her eyes, and Daphne and Delia had similar expressions. Carack just smiled and looked straight ahead.

“This time, you won’t be behind me?”

“Follow closely.”

In-gong smiled from aboard Maybach. He took a deep breath and activated Conquest.

The barbarians used unexpected behaviour to cause a crisis, so his actions should be unexpected as well.

“Master, I will help you.”

Green Wind appeared in a semi-solid state and flew high into the sky. The coat of arms surfaced on her forehead.

The guardian of Enger Plains…

Green Wind had a sacred light around her, and she embraced all 400 reinforcements with the light.

‘Protection of the Wind.’

It was the buff that sped up In-gong’s movements on Enger Plains.

All the reinforcements were given Protection of the Wind, and a green wind circled around their legs. Despite the Conquest Coat of Arms restoring her strength, it was still hard to bless everyone. Even so, Green Wind did it with a smile because she didn’t want to disappoint In-gong.

The green wind blew above In-gong’s head, and he grabbed at the air. It wasn’t just the power of the King’s Knights that had grown, but Conquest as well. The power of Conquest was far stronger than when In-gong first received it.

“Below the King’s Flag.”

A white light emerged from In-gong’s hand. It formed a flagpole with a white flag fluttering in the wind.

The king’s flag made of light…

In-gong wielded it like a huge spear. Then the white light of Conquest wrapped around the reinforcements.

The power of Conquest was added to Protection of the Wind.

It wasn’t just Kaparang and Alita. The 400 reinforcements all stared at In-gong.

“Go, Master. Faster than the wind.”

Green Wind said. Carack smiled wildly and shouted,

“Karaha!”

No more dialogue was necessary. In-gong raised the king’s flag and set out at the vanguard. They started to run faster than the wind.
