Chapters Chapter 242: Shocking Defeat (2/2)
Around five kilometres away, she could see tens of thousands of soldiers that were marching.
We’re late!
There was no time to set up their defensive line.
And they weren’t in a good position right now either.
“Everyone, we will retreat back to the Deathwin territory.”
A quick decision.
Lucia made the best decision she could right now, and the Laputa army immediately began to prepare for the retreat.
“Commander-in-chief Lucia!”
But it seemed like Amur had a different opinion.
“Speak, commander Amur.”
“We are strong. What need is there to retreat? If we just fight…”
“Commander Amur.”
Lucia spoke, her voice cold.
“Yes?”
“Do… you want to die?”
“...!”
“It seems that you still haven’t gotten used to the atmosphere of Laputa.”
Lucia said, stroking her shield, Aegis.
I-I might die!
At that moment, Amur was shocked at the terrifying aura.
Even though one wouldn’t know the outcome of the fight before they actually fought, the aura radiating from Lucia was terrifying. Amur felt like he might die before he actually got a chance to even retaliate.
“This is the first, and final warning, commander Amur.”
Lucia warned.
“Yes, sir.”
“Now then, we will retreat. All troops, retreat!”
Lucia once again shouted, signaling the retreat.
Tadadada!
At that moment.
From the enemy lines, a Pegasus came running, closing the gap to the Laputa soldiers.
“The general of the Laputa army, come out!”
A charming voice.
The man on top of the Pegasus was a knight wearing white armor.
“...!”
At this, the two commanders and Lucia stopped momentarily.
Come out?
Who was it that dared to call out the general of Laputa?
“That damned bastard…”
Though Amur was pissed,
“Let’s just back off.”
Lucia decided to continue the retreat, rather than fight.
However,
Charak!
With its wings spread, the Pegasus didn’t show any signs of slowing down.
“Are there only cowards in Laputa!?”
Shouting that, the white armored knight jumped into the front lines of the Laputa army.
“You dare!?”
At this, Amur also ran out.
Well then, show us your skill.
This time around, Lucia didn’t stop him.
Though retreating was important, they couldn’t let an enemy who had just ran into them escape like that, could they? For their morale, they had to kill them and show them their power.
Ching!
However,
“...!”
It only took an instant for Amur’s gauntlet to break.
“Kuakk!”
A scream came out of the fierce tiger general’s mouth. It was because he had been pierced in the abdomen by one of the white knight’s strikes.
And now, the second strike…
H-How…
Amur couldn’t do anything.
It was as if time itself had stopped.
Because by the time he was trying to get back up, the sword of the white knight had already approached Amur’s neck…
“Amur!”
At that moment!
Kaching!
Drakan’s dragon bone sword prevented Amur’s death.
“...!”
Drakan was shocked too, however.
This strength…
It was because of the aftershock of blocking that blow.
As evidence of that power, blood was dripping down the Drakonian’s hand.
Flash!
At that moment, the knight disappeared once again.
I can’t dodge…
Shock filled Drakan’s eyes.
Whirik!
Forgetting his pride as a Draconian, Drakan threw his body away.
Suk!
With a terrifying noise,
Tuk…
The large tail of a draconian fell to the ground.
He had undergone the humiliation of having his tail cut off in order to preserve his life.
“...!”
Shock filled the eyes of everyone who was watching.
Amur’s defeat.
Drakan’s humiliation.
This was the most shocking event that had ever occurred in the history of the Laputa army.
