Chapter 404 - Split of the Imperial 2 (1/2)
“Wh, what was that?!”
The commander of the Gorn fort, who saw the gates of the fort being attacked was wide-eyed with tears.
‘How did this happen? Did the gunpowder got left behind near the gate and a fire broke out by mistake?’
However, if there was fire, there should be smoke, and if the fire spread along with the gunpowder, the enemy soldiers too had to suffer.
However, that didn’t seem like the case.
‘To attract the allies and then destroy the enemies? No, there is no reason for the fort which was blocking very well to do that.’
For a moment the commander who was staring at the gate looked at the situation inside the gate.
A group of mercenaries took control of the main gate and were in a hurry to fight against the fort guards trying to gain the region.
‘I don’t have a detailed reason, but this is still a great opportunity!’
Marquis Mayers who was in a hurry and sent a messenger several times in a day to report on the gates was shocked.
He wasn’t sure what happened inside, but he decided to enter the fort and ordered for his troops to initiate an assault.
“The gates are open! Everyone for assault!”
“Woahhhh!”
Thud Thud Thud!
The riders who were very frustrated with the unsuccessful siege drove their Gigants and ran ahead followed by the cavalry and the infantry.
And the detailed reports were relayed to Marquis Mayers, who was waiting for the fort wall to fall.
“What? The gate opened by itself?”
“Yes. Isn’t it possible that the nobles of the Emperor came there?”
The words of Baron Bazzo’s made Marquis laugh.
“Huhuhu. We can never know. Anyway, since the gate had been opened, tell the entire army to attack!”
“Understood!”
At the orders of Marquis Mayers, the soldiers of the army who were taking rest rushed towards the fort.
In a battle, the flow was a very important factor. And that was directly related to the morale of the soldiers.
Initially, the side of triumph was the fort defense and the central army.
However, with the sudden burst of the gate and the sudden attack from the mercenaries passed the triumph over to the southern army.
In addition, as the southern army pushed in, the knights and soldiers of the fort began to panic.
“Commander, Sire! We asked the reserved knights to enter, but we aren’t able to take back the gates!”
“The Knights of the Central Army? Ask the nearby Gigant units to defend the gate… no, I will go there myself!”
Count Ferrero jumped out of the watchtower at once and boarded his Gigant
It was his new hero class Gigant, Atlas, which he had received from the Emperor on the day he was appointed as the Commander of the Central Army.
Atlas’s production had been discontinued when Veritas Magic Tower was destroyed, but there were a lot of parts which were left back, so after getting them fixed, they were given to the SS knights and the Sword Masters near the Emperor.
Woong!
As Ferrero’s mana flowed through the cockpit, the core engine began to shake vigorously.
‘Kukku. With this level of performance, I think that I can win over a Sword Master.’
Count Ferrero who smiled at the powerful output of Atlas headed for the gate.
He quickly ran to the gate and found the Gigant troops of the enemy who were pushing through the gate.
“These men! How dare they enter this place?!”
Ferrero wielded his giant sword to the front at the enemy Gigants which were hurting his friend’s.
Slash!
Pung!
The giant sword with the Impact aura quickly took down two Knight class Gigants.
Thinking how the Gigants were taking down the friendly Gigants, the opponent riders must have been a very skilled one.
However, it wasn’t enough to handle Count Ferrero who had a Hero class.
“I, Impact Aura? Sword Master! A Sword Master has appeared!”
“It must be a hero class Gigant! Be careful everyone!”
After breaking through the gates, the southern army and the Gigant troops made a mess for a moment.
Count Ferrero, who came then, violently wielded his giant sword and defeated Gigants of the southern army.
“Kuahh! I will kill all of the obstructions in here!”
Count Ferrero charged like a wild person.
Every time the Impact aura flashed with Atlas, the Gigants that were struck fell down with huge noise.
“He surely seems to be our commander!”
“Don’t hesitate and drive out the enemy from the fort!”
The fort defenders and the central riders whose morale rose from the attacks of Count Ferrero fought back stronger than ever.
The southern Gigants were forced to step back.
“T, this…”
“Do not step back! The gates should never be taken away!”
When the situation was turning away, the strongest soldiers of the Southern army began to move ahead.
With the Knight class Gigants belonging to the knights of Iron Fist, with a crest on the chest.
As soon as the five Gigants moved ahead, they bravely ran towards Atlas.
“Die, Count Ferrero!”
“Isn’t it embarrassing to abandon your role as a neutral lord and become the Emperor’s dog?!”
Even if they couldn’t beat Count Ferrero, the five men who came at the same time were experts and could show enough skill to push Ferrero, that was what they thought.
But it didn’t take much time for them to realize that they were mistaken.
Slash! Kwak! Slash!
Puck! Slash!
In a blink of an eye, Atlas’s giant sword flew towards the knight class Gigant.
With the nickname of being the Baroque Empire’s crazy dog, Ferrero ripped off the opponent’s Gigant with incredible power.
Cyclone Wolf Sword.
