Volume 49 Chapter 4 part1 (1/2)
[V49C04] Liberation of the Free City of Soation of the Ritten region was led by Trakis the Conqueror of the Third Legion
“We will destroy it thoroughly in a week Not only will the Arpen Kingdoiven any chance ill invade it in return” Trakis declared to his co officers
The 250,000 elite soldiers of the Third Legion fore In addition to that, there were reinforcements composed of 100,000 troops recruited from the nearby cities under his authority as a lord of the Haven Empire, and another 100,000 Imperial soldiers deployed by the headquarters of the Empire
A total of 450,000 powerful troops! And there were no less than 50,000 Steel Knights following behind them
“The estiion is one million”
“And how uess is about 5 percent of the total nu in the Ritten region were arriving like a strea the conquest of the Central Continent Over a hundred of theion, so naturally any new inforh theht now…’
Trakis was one of the top 20 rankers of Royal Road, but he still took so to battle
‘Judging by the combat power alone, they would not be able to th But there will be a lot of unexpected variables’
He was so convinced of their victory while watching the broadcast that showed the Northern expeditionary force atteo But the sight of the huge arave hi a dramatic moment
‘Weed’s intervention is more likely than ever There will bein, too… Then the answer is a lightning war: don’t give theht the situation would becoed on Nonetheless, he took care not to show these inward thoughts during intervieith the broadcasting stations
“Weed and the Northern users? They are nothing”
“You seereat confidence before the battle”
“Of course I do We are not going there to fight We are going there to trample on them”
For the morale of the whole troops as well as for his own popularity, he decided to talk big
Na Ye-Seul, a field reporter of CTS Media with an unusual choice of race as a bear, asked him with a smile, “A contest between Weed the God of War and you, Mr Trakis, it’s only natural that this event is highly anticipated by everyone Are you willing to fight if there is a one-on-one ainst Weed?”
“…”
This ht?’
He had to be cautious; if he said yes in the interview, then a situation ht arise in which he had to face Weed directly by himself Not only would his life be at stake, but also the whole Third Legion s rong
‘This is rather uncoh he was just caught while stealing True, he was one of the very top-class rankers of Royal Road, but still, he would rather avoid a duel with Weed; thethat could be predicted by nor disasters, or changing race or form There were even rumors that claimed he had an ability to stop tie I clearly remember my skill was just about to hit hiot killed the next second”
“A short-range teleportation skill? But it was a bit different Normally a skill attack does not hit at the sae to disable his ic, it’s no use; you cannot block that particular movement no matter what you do”
These were soiven in unison by the Herht Weed face-to-face They were all strong in their oays, but their general sentie that couldn’t be reached
“Fighting Weed? I ht However, as a commander-in-chief, I’ht when there’s such an important battle ahead
“Ah yes, I understand It would be rather overwhel Mr Weed directly”
“No, I don’t es you to a duel?”
“…”
The Haven Iht and day
“Move faster,specially-crafted arainst nature in case of disasters, and increased the longevity of the soldiers to the limit
‘With these, we can prevent death by natural disasters up to some extent Also there are no factors that could e like in the sea…’
Trakis e for ambush The troops avoided terrains such as canyons, rivers and swamps whenever possible, even if they had to es, they tried to coer distance with speed
As there was also a teleport gate installed in the ion just two days after they left the center of the Haven Ees can be restored later We will continue advancing towards Shelgiuion, at full speed”
The Northern users had already conquered Shelgiudom
To be precise, the word ‘conquest’ was not quite appropriate, because hundreds of thousands of Northern users approached Shelgium
“Finally, the day has come to repay Weed’s kindness””
…and one of those users used to be soium
Mandol!
He once asked Weed to carve his unborn daughter He illing to pay any price, but the cost of this co like this a lick and a promise, would he?’
Mandol was anxious, but he waited for the completion of the work
That 1-copper sculpture turned out to be a hter
An art center was even built in Morata, and Mandol settled down in the Arpen Kingdom with his wife He was the first one to coe Cult started their e upon the Hermes Guild!”
As Mandol took his place in the front line, young users of the Grass Porridge felt afraid
“Who’s that old guy? I’…”
Mandol, as htened just because of his threatening looks
When he arrived at his old hoium, many users in this place voluntarily came out to welcome him
“Dear Sir Mandol!”
“You’ve finally come I have waited”
In spite of his appearance, Mandol was a kind and considerate guy There were users all over Shelgium who had played Royal Road and leveled up with him, or ed him favors
“If Mandol needs our help, then of course we should be there for hi if the Arpen Kingdons of an uprising even aovernor of the city – chose to open the castle’s ht Publicly, this event was known as the downfall of a parachuted officer who had got his position through money and connections, but in fact this was planned by the heads of the Her on for too long; we need to subdue the rebel forces all at once in order to show them the power of the Idoium, the capital of the Government-General, without bloodshed for now: it was a scheme to confine all of the Northern users in one place and exterle assault!
“We must make sure there is no space for even an ant to escape”
When talking about a siege, the total annihilation of the defending forces inside the castle would show just how big the gap between the two sides was in teriu on the day of the battle between the Haven Imperial Army and the Northern users
“Wow…Look at all those tents”
“That’s the splendor of the I”
Northern users were standing along the castle walls of Shelgiu over the tents of the Imperial Army, which were ly relaxed
“Let’s just go and have a large ht?”
These Northern users didn’t even fear defeat They were none other than the advance party of the Grass Porridge Cult!
The main force was on their way down fro little by little
“We don’t have enough stone!”
