Chapter 118 - Fallen Kingdom 4 (1/2)

At his appearance, the soldiers of Count Schwarz showed surprised reactions at once.

“The, the Count lives!”

“Oh my goodness, this is…”

The lord who should have led them again.

Suffering from Rodríguez's harsh exploits, the young citizens had always longed for the merciful and outstanding Bailey.

And finally, that longing was satisfied.

The morale of Count Schwarz’s soldiers soared in the sky.

”Let's help the Count get Ramirez off the throne!”

“We must destroy this cursed kingdom!”

They didn't care whether Ramirez was Heinrich III's son or not.

All those who had colluded with the demons were enemies and they had to kill all of them.

In that sense, Woohyuk, followed by Bailey, was like a representation of God.

He was a hero who fought unpaid and won against the three demon kings.

“A true Savior has appeared.”

“Long live the Rhine King!”

The soldiers' shouts never ceased.

Woohyuk spoke to Petos next to him.

“Did your talk with Bailey go well?”

“Yes, he said he wouldn't care if I didn't do anything weird to you, Lord Asura.”

Bailey did not object to Woohyuk's control of the demons.

It was because there was a precedent for this. The wise king Solomon.

In fact, he was also shown Lemegeton, so there was no question to be asked.

The same went for the other soldiers.

They believed that Woohyuk was God's representative, so they did not doubt him, and they thought it was thanks to the power of the death god that he could control the undead.

'Now I just need to deal with Ramirez.'

If they took control of the capital Tenas and uncovered the full story of this incident, the Holy Aperian Empire would not pay much attention.

Demons were already running around across the Eeth continent.

The empire wasn't relaxed enough to care about things that had already been dealt with.

Of course, if the Dane Kingdom were absorbed into the Rhine Kingdom, they would send an envoy, but it would have been a formal diplomatic procedure.

‘I can send my vassals to capture the remaining evil nobles.'

Many of the lords who had contracted with the demons lost their lives in the battle of Doria.

They were trying to look good in the eyes of Heinrich III and Dantalion, and joined the kingdom’s army.

Because of this, among the remaining lords in the Dane Kingdom, not too many more needed purging.

While Woohyuk's army was advancing, a monster army came from a distance, kicking up dust on their way.

It was quite a large scale army.

Woohyuk ordered each commander to prepare for battle and then stared ahead.

Angrboda, the Witch of Greed.

She had made the Elrond Barony her sanctuary and had the former lord Jean-Pierre Ecclet guard the chapel.

She had disguised his daughter, Leifina, as herself and had locked her up within the chapel.

'Angrboda isn’t here at the moment.'

She had been ordered by Lilith to leave for the northern kingdom of Norton.

There was Peter Logan, the former notorious necromancer.

He didn't know what they were doing there, but it seemed certain she had moved the monsters.

“You guys fight in the vanguard and protect Philip II. I will attack their flank with the elite cavalry unit.”

“Understood, My Lord.”

“Please leave it to us!”

“I will follow the command.”

Woohyuk's vassals were scattered to command the soldiers.

Eventually, when the battle formation was established, Woohyuk led an elite cavalry unit with Leifina and made a big detour to the enemy camp.

'The cavalry is the best for a quick battle.'

The tactic was to hold the monsters in place with the main unit from the front and hit the side and rear with fast-moving cavalry.

Using this, even if the enemies outnumbered them, it would be an easy win.

“We’ll squeeze through there.”

It was a situation where there was a temporary gap in the middle of the enemy lines because the front monster forces were being pushed back.

Woohyuk made his elite cavalry unit into a wedge formation and stood at the front himself.

Crash!

Crash!

As the elite cavalry troops pushed in from the side, the monsters couldn't maintain the line and escaped everywhere.

If he were to compare the enemy forces to a human, it was like he had been cut in half at his waist.

The scattered rear monsters were individually destroyed, and the monsters in the front were tied to the main unit.

'We have to find the boss monster.'

While continuing to wander through the enemy troops, Woo-hyuk focused on finding the enemy commander.

Anyone who defended the witch's forest would be a pretty strong guy.

Defeating that guy would save them a lot of time in this battle.

'There he is.'

A huge monster came into Woohyuk's view as he killed off ogres.

A nephilim.

It was the variant giant he had seen in Kriemhild’s forest.

“Leifina, command the cavalry unit instead of me.”

“Yes, My Lord.”

Leifina knew very well what Woohyuk was trying to do, since she had been his assistant for quite some time.

Leaving her behind, Woohyuk sprinted in the direction of the Nephilim.

Gallop. Gallop.

It wasn't that far, so the gap quickly narrowed.

“Kraaaaaah!”

As Woohyuk approached, the nephilim raised his trident with an angry expression.

Afterwards, the earth shook with a heavy impact.

Boooooom!

He struck the trident with all his might toward Woohyuk.

However, the attack did not reach him at all, because he had used the skills of the clan leader, Mobility and Stronghold.

So, he and Leifina had their movement speed and stats increased by 150% over an hour.

“When will Angrboda return?”

“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Nephilim growled and refused to answer.

When the guy tried to attack again, Woo-hyuk took out Verserios and lightly swung it sideways.

Boom!

A jet-black wave flew and struck the middle of the trident.
