Chapter 121 (2/2)
The Gigant would need just a single knight or even an apprentice who could simply swing the sword to control it.
Then, it should have been easy for the Torlot Gigant to wipe it out, but the Torlot Fortress was busy trying to stop another incoming attack.
In addition, the Fortress couldn’t move because the wall was too narrow.
“Sweep out the enemy!”
The knights of the Fortress rushed over the Gigant of Republic to attack it.
The assault from the Republic was strong, but the knights of the Fortress were moving under the command of Kaper.
Not surprisingly, the Gold Sword skill passed from Luke to Kaper had gone to intermediate level-skills, and he could have managed to turn down the assault.
But Kaper had been fighting all the time for the last few days.
He was stumbling with blood and the assault troops of the Republic seeing that, ran to him at once.
‘This!’
Slash!
Thinking that he would not make it alive, Kaper closed his eyes.
However, not feeling any pain, he opened his eyes once again, just to realize that he was alive.
Alex was standing in front of him with twin swords in his hands.
“Tch, be careful. Death comes in a blink of an eye.”
“Yeah, I’ll keep my eyes on it…”
Alex had to be resting.
When the enemy divided into three troops and attacked them sequentially, Luke divided the Fortress’s troops into three, giving them time to rest.
There were opinions that the Fortress wouldn’t be in a state to defend, but Luke just ignored it.
He could have been right, but the army didn’t have the needed amount of rest.
“Hey man, you are disobeying orders. You do realize that, right?”
“I can’t sleep with all this uproar! What do you expect me to do?!”
As Alex said; the knights and soldiers who had to take the break couldn’t rest or relax.
The shells continued to fall into the Fortress and they were unable to fall asleep due to anxiety about the battle.
“But, I don’t see Anna and Hobart, are they dead?”
“Don’t talk rubbish. They both went out of the Fortress under the secret passage at the orders from Commander Luke. They took over 100 troops.”
“Don’t tell me, are they trying to do a surprise attack?” Asked Kaper.
“Well, maybe, even if we hit with 100 troops, we don’t know how long would it take. They didn’t even take a Gigant.”
At present, the number of troops the enemy had was estimated to be around 50,000 – 60,000.
How much would the Torlot Fortress be able to win with 100 people in the absence of a Gigant, even if it was going to be a surprise attack?
It was like breaking a rock with an egg.
“What could he be thinking…?”
“The enemy is coming back!”
The two sighed seeing the enemy come back in, taking a huge breath they gripped the swords harder than ever.
Unfortunately, they had no time to think about what Luke was planning to do.
