Chapter 203: A Trick (3)
The elixir used by the Ghosts strengthened their Aura in exchange for their vitality However, the potion that the soldiers drank didn’t strengthen their Aura, it strengthened their physical ability It er and allowed the even if they were on the brink of death due to the injuries they sustained If looked at in ter better to use to strengthen the soldiers But because of its side effects, it had been deemed a failure
While this potion pushed the soldiers’ physical abilities to their lie and as a result, 99 of the people died That hy it had been classified as a failure
On top of that, there was the possibility that the soldiers thees How many soldiers could there be that would be able to continue fighting norround? And that hy Eliza had independently created a drug that would stop the soldiers fro spirits to thewith the potion
For the past two days, she had beenit to them She hadn’t fed it to them all at once because there was the fear that if she did, the soldiers may die fro their body to it bit by bit over the past two days, she finallyinto their breakfast on the third day
Since there was a liiven to about 10,000 soldiers, but that was enough It turned 10,000 soldiers into berserkers who continued to fight until they died, all without knowing pain or fear even when their limbs had been cut
The 10,000 berserkers were stationed in the front as they began their assault on the Meichi Castle while the rest of the troops were placed in the back As a result, the castle walls began to shake in a way that they hadn’t shaken before
‘It’s definitely worth doing proper research on it instead of treating it as a failure’
Even in Siegfried’s eyes, the clear power of the 10,000 berserkers was attractive
Of course, those 10,000 men would die as soon as the potion’s effects wore off, but as long as they helped hi to think of the potion as an advantage
‘It’s dangerous if it continues like this’
Milton could feel the situation getting worse
He didn’t knoas possible, but the Republican soldiers were no different fro his way around the castle walls and the Southern Knights doing their best, the nu And then
“Stop theet to the gates!”
The Republican soldiers on the wall had taken over the stairs leading down to the inside of the castle walls Although they acted and howled like beasts, they were clearly aware of their purpose They had gotten down froear to open the gate
“Stop thehts bellowed at the Lester Kingdo in front of the castle gates was the elite unit, the Iron Wall unit
“Overlap the shi+elds!”
“Defend at all costs!”
The Iron Wall Unit’s heavy infantryhtly overlapped stainless steel shi+elds
“Guuuuuuuuu!”
“Kaaaaaaaa!”
Screa like beasts, the Republican soldiers were barelytheir human forms, but the Iron Wall Unit stood fir! Squish!+
The Republican soldiers charged towards the
Their commander shouted loudly from behind them
“Overlap your shi+elds! Trust your comrade next to you!”
“Yes, sir!”
The solidly Iron Wall Unit blocked the fierce attack by the Republican soldiers
The Republicans continued to run forward and crash into theh the shi+eld wall of the Iron Wall Unit Looking at the at a seawall blocking the waves
‘Seeh of relief as he observed the Iron Wall Unit from on top of the castle walls
From the start, The Iron Wall Unit was meant to be a unit focused on defense While they had a short sword as a weapon, their er and thicker than a nor deal when the shi+elds were used individually, but when the Iron Wall Unit used the shi+elds as a group, then at any ti wall for their allies
They had been placed in front of the castle gates on the off chance it would be breached from the outside, but thankfully, it see well even to the attacks from the inside
The only reason this was possible was that the captain of the Iron Wall Unit was capable
“Forget about yourself! Becoroup”
“Yes, sir!”
The captain was a lance, he see at hoell the soldiers ood co, the Iron Wall Unit had been stationed looking out towards the castle gates But thefrom the inside, they had immediately reversed their formation and met the enemy The fact that they were able to move so quickly showed his capabilities as a codo the coood thing he’s on our side”
His name was Shawn and while he was the captain of the Iron Wall Unit, he didn’t have a title nor was he a knight Milton had offered to knight him, but he had refused And while Milton could have offered him a title, Milton himself felt that it would be too do a title Why? It was because Shaas from the Hildes Republic And he wasn’t just anyone from the Hildes Republic He was a eneral before he had turned 40
Shawn had graduated frorades and played a pivotal role in the war against the Strabus Kingdoeneral; in the Republic, a brigadier general was the equivalent of a count in a kingdoe, Shawn had devised a plan for the benefit of the Republic He published it as a thesis titled “The Plan to Strengthen the Republican Arive the mountain troops a separate reconnaissance tea rocks alongside the enius all his life to create for the sake of his country
However, Shawn’s thesis wasn’t accepted The existing factions were trying to keep him, soe, in check Instead, the heads of the Republic had told hiument that it would be foolish to put in the iven to hi factions hadn’t wanted Shawn to advance any further
In the end, his plan to strengthen the Republican Army was abandoned and he felt disillusioned with the Republican Army that was a part of the political battles of the factions How could this be considered a place where equal opportunities were given regardless of status? The reality was that those whounderhanded methods to try and help their own factions occupy even one iven up his position and retired out to the countryside Until the moment that the Hildes Republic was destroyed, he lived as an ordinary countryman
Milton had discovered Shahile going through the official docu with the Hildes Republic when he came across Shawn’s thesis and instantly realized the value of Shawn’s thesis to strengthen the Republican Army
The information contained within the thesis was 100 years ahead of the tiraphical advantage of the Hildes Republic He had even argued for a Northern defense line to protect the Capital since there was the possibility that someone would cross the frozen lands of the North and attack them
‘If they had considered this plan…’
Then perhaps the Hildes Republic would still have existed
Recognizing Shawn’s value, Milton had invited him to come
