News of Anhalt’s unsightly escape

Listening to the report, Count Turnen and I were showing faces of knowing that.

“okay? You mean Anhalt?”

“Yes, it is. It appears that he was frightened by General Tilly’s attack and fled.”

“Then, the Palatinate army is already…”

“Yes, probably most of them are dead or scattered.”

“Umm… the station…”

His father, Earl of Tourn, nodded as he listened to the words of his subordinate.

Although the proportion of wizards was small,

Nevertheless, the fact that the Palatinate army, which had an army of as many as 7,000, collapsed in vain, was serious enough to say that the outcome of the war was decided in a way.

However, even after hearing this story, his father’s expression did not waver at all.

No, rather, at this moment… On the contrary, on his face, far from being embarrassed, he was feeling relaxed as if everything went as planned.

And seeing my father like that, I spoke with a voice full of resoluteness.

“That means, at last, the time has come.”

“I guess so. Now then, let’s hurry out, we’ll finish our work according to your plan.”

“Your father.”

As I followed my father’s footsteps, my lips began to contain deep anticipation in many ways.

It wasn’t just because of the anticipation of his first appearance as a mage.

It is.. the feeling of anticipation of what will happen in the future.

In a situation where all the plans were frighteningly well matched, it was the anticipation caused by the joy of being the person who designed the plan.

Count Thurn, who came out of the barracks and finished the final inspection.

Although, at this moment, the overall war situation was turning against the allies.

As the Palatinate army was destroyed, the battlefield, which had been returning to some extent in favor of the allies, began to tilt toward the emperor’s army. They were breaking one after another.

Of course, the damage caused to the imperial army in the process was also formidable, but nevertheless, the direction of victory was gradually leaning toward the imperial army due to the large difference in power.

However, Count Turnen was rather feeling a deep joy about this situation.

‘I see… everything is going as Santana said. If that’s the case, it must mean that it’s finally my turn… it’s the Andreas family’s turn.’

With that thought in mind, Count Turnen looked back at himself once again.

There are 3,000 soldiers who have been waiting here since the start of the battle.

Among them were wizards under the Andreas family and a number of elite troops trained by Count Thurn with great enthusiasm.

From Count Thurne’s point of view, his soldiers are always proud.

Standing at the forefront of them all, the Count finally drew his sword and began shouting in a lion-like voice.

“The time for revenge has finally come! All troops advance!”

Along with that horse, Count Thurne and his troops galloped forward.

In an instant they pierced the fog and began to march rapidly toward their targets marked by iron pillars.

“From now on, it is literally a race against time! I don’t give the enemy time to recover, and I put an end to everything with this one momentum!”

“yes! Count!”

“For Bohemia!”

“For the Andreas family!”

The Bohemia Army, where most of the intruders were being sorted out

Although, among them, Bohemia’s powerful wizards, called the 13 Nobles, were still fighting, but as time passed and their magic power was depleted, they also gradually reached their limits.

Meanwhile,

This was the same for General Tilly and his magicians who used magic against the Palatinate army in succession, and General Tilly, who even used a circle of magic before the battle, was almost at the bottom of his magic at this point.

But… nevertheless, General Tilly still had some leeway.

Basically, as the number of magicians and the number of soldiers was large, the consumption of physical strength and magic power of both armies was inevitably equal.

Both sides are in a state of considerable exhaustion due to the fierce battle in the melee.

At such a time, the outcome of the war would be determined by which side had the upper hand in individual fighting power.

And from that point of view, General Tilly and his subordinates, who had a higher level of proficiency as the emperor’s elite army, had no choice but to have an advantage.

‘Even though the beginning was a bit uneasy, it seems like I’m on my way to victory.. It went well. All you have to do is kill the remaining Bohemian soldiers and march to the castle. If that happens, the frightened heretics of Bohemia will immediately surrender…’

With such thoughts in mind, General Tilly hardens his mind to organize the remaining Bohemia Army.

That moment…

“Wow!!”

“Advance! For the glory of Bohemia!”

“Wipe out all the dogs of the evil emperor!”

A sudden loud roar.

At this, General Tilly hurriedly turned his head toward it, and then a deep embarrassment began to settle on his face.

“! I… What else is that?”

It was General Tilly who was clearing up the Bohemian army, which was barely moving around the camp.

But at this moment, the sudden appearance of another Bohemian army began to arouse deep concern in General Tilly.

‘Is it the enemy’s reinforcements? Damn… if it had to be, a number like that would be…’

Due to the thick fog, it was impossible to fully grasp the size of the enemy.

However, at the moment, even the visible scale was a defense force that did not seem to be far behind the army he was leading directly at this moment.

Crucially, at this moment, unlike themselves and the other Bohemia troops, they were not feeling the slightest sign of exhaustion.

Bohemia looks so brisk as if it has been resting for a long time.

And, crucially, at the forefront is the sorcerer running towards us with a sword wrapped in condensation.

The figure of the Count of Thurne was visible.

“Isn’t that the Emperor’s dog, General Tilly, there! ruler! Where would you like to stick with me!”

Right after he found himself, Count Thurne spoke in a booming voice.

Recognizing his face, General Tilly said to him with an angry expression.

“Come on.. You are the Turn! The devil who instigated the good people and led them to heresy! I will rip your heart out today!”

Along with that, the two people drive the horses and begin to collide.

-Pajijijik!!!-

Swords imbued with magic due to condensation.

At the same time as they collided, sparks began to rise due to the repulsion of magic from the sword.

“How dare you dare to invade this place! This will be your grave!”

“You filthy heretics!!!”

Two people wielding swords, unleashing tremendous murderous intent against each other.

Each time, intense sparks broke out between them, and the waves of magical power generated in the aftermath were so powerful that even the soldiers around them stumbled.

It seemed that a tense confrontation was continuing, but at this moment, the thoughts of Tilly and Tourn, the parties involved, were completely opposite.

‘Damn it… Normally, I’d kill at least one of these rebels at once, but if it’s like this, magic is…’

‘As expected, the fact that he has become weak is clearly felt! can win! I’m going to slit Tilly’s head right here!’

Even though Count Thurne is a powerful 7th grade high-ranking wizard, it was almost impossible to win in a head-to-head confrontation with Tilly, a 9th-class great wizard in the first place.

However… the current General Tilly was in a situation where he was incomparably weaker than usual.

Due to the circle of magic and the aftermath of the previous battles, his magic power was almost hitting the floor.

From nob le mt l. com

No matter how great a wizard was, once his magic power was exhausted, he was just an ordinary human being.

With such a physical condition, it was almost impossible to normally deal with Count Thurn, who was mercilessly brandishing his sword and running towards him.

And in the end…

“Haaa!”

“Kuk!”

-visor!-

The next moment, General Tilly’s sword shattered with a sharp sound.

Although it was a famous sword bestowed by the emperor, due to depletion of mana, it was not protected by condensation and was cut off in vain by Count Turnen’s blow.

A clear win or loss.

Then, Earl of Thurn raised his sword and started approaching Tilly.
