64 – Legion of Darkness (14)

Information is an important milestone in making decisions.

However, on the contrary, it can also lead people in a distorted direction.

With a pale face, the commander began to review the operation from the beginning. Why did I think everyone had to rush in and stop this monster? It was when Greta wiped out the advance party and information about Greta came from the upper level.

The title of Commander of the Demon Realm and a very aggressive and brutal personality. And the maddening advance speed paralyzed everyone’s reason.

The commander can’t be the bait.

If we don’t mobilize our troops to stop the commander this time, we’ll all die.

At that moment when the hero was in a dying state, the commander thought of how Greta had returned without finishing it. At that time, there was one reason why Greta did not break through. It was to create a sense of crisis with the fact that the hero had fallen to death, and to gather as many troops as possible here.

The commander hurried to support the troops because he did not know when Greta would attack while the hero was down, and surprisingly, Greta did not attack until he confirmed that the troops were being replenished.

The dust that had been confirmed in the watchtower that Greta’s reinforcements would come seemed to hint at the existence of a large army, accelerating the commander’s panic, and the troops here now weakened the front line and became a large army that had been gathered as much as possible.

But Greta’s reinforcements did not come. As if asking them to come at any time, the camps that were supposed to provide support behind Greta had prepared a thorough defense posture and placed archers at the watchtowers.

Greta said with a grave face.

“My mistake… . There is only one. Overconfident in the strength of my armor and arrogant judgment that I could kill the hero at any time. Other than that everything was perfect. Commander. I’ll ask again. How many large armies have gathered to catch me now? How many soldiers are on the road to the capital?”

The commander held his head. Those numerous troops who came as volunteers. Greta, who was trying to block it with that force, was a meticulous decoy.

If Greta wins, it becomes a wedge that can penetrate the capital, and if Greta’s advance is blocked, it becomes a bait for diversionary operations.

Even if Greta was blocked, the Demon King’s army was not defeated.

Greta laughed.

“Come on, Commander. What are you going to do? Shall we scatter this army again? Are you thinking of re-scattering the empty wires below? Would it be faster to reach the capital from the vast lands of the empire, or would it be faster to reach the capital of the kingdom from the border?”

The commander’s face went white. Can you trust Kiberes, who have emptied their borders now? How much can we trust her who suddenly made a gap at this time?

Will she, who is from a demon tribe, really fight against other demon tribes?

Could it be that everything I’ve shown you so far wasn’t another trick of the demons?

“Here he comes.”

Kiberes said.

Contrary to her plain and plain expression, the movements of the demon soldiers were devastating. It was running at a crazy speed, spitting up dust to the extent that the ridge was not even visible. The demon in the lead wore a golden mask and shouted with blue eyes shining.

“Run! Break down their gates! Kill everything in sight!”

Kiberes knew his name. And, he knew what kind of criminal record he had in the Demon Realm. But those things meant nothing now. Kiberes put on his armor and looked back at the soldiers.

Even though they couldn’t trust her command as a demon, when the order from the superior was pushed in, the soldiers who barely managed to move as if they couldn’t win. Seeing her signal, a soldier in the fortress lit a beacon. Watching the smoke rise, the demon commander laughed loudly.

“It is too late to come and apply for reinforcements! If we open the city gates right now and surrender! I will spare your life!”

Kayberes saw the commander approaching in the distance. According to the map, the area where the river flowed was welcoming the demon soldiers with only a few wet marks left.

*******

“hahahahaha! A lot of trouble… … !”

Greta’s voice cut off. The head of the demon who commanded the battlefield fell off and rolled on the floor. The hero jumped into a situation where the commander was frozen and the morale of the soldiers had fallen to the ground. The warrior, who was still not well, took a deep breath and looked around at the soldiers. They too had faces full of anxiety.

Soldiers who wanted to protect their hometown from being overrun rather than fighting here.

Black blood flowed out thickly, and the floor where Greta’s blood touched burned. The hero put his sword on the ground and thought about Caybereth.

[Fight until the end. Do not doubt anything and endure until the end.]

Do not doubt.

What did that mean?

Did she know that the arrow of doubt was returning to her like now?

Was there a plan that only she and her superiors knew about?

said the warrior.

“Cybereth is the commander who played a huge role in the last operation and decided to fight with us in front of the sword.”

Even if she wasn’t here, she was the same colleague. The heart she showed was sincere, and she was not a person to betray easily.

“Doubt towards our allies leads to divisiveness, which is what our enemies most desire. Everyone. Kiberes is moving according to the orders of its superiors. Now, we must trust Kiberes, trust our allies, and move forward. Now, the enemy is on the defensive, and there are more troops here than ever before.”

The hero’s gaze turned to the commander. All decision-making power rested with him, and the warrior decided to respect his judgment.

The commander looked at the soldiers. The camps of the demons, which were firmly in defensive posture, seemed rather afraid. The commander opened his mouth.

“Everyone, charge at the enemies like this. Eliminate all nearby demon camps and advance.”

rattle. Greta’s mouth closed with an incomprehensible sound.

After confirming the beacon, the soldiers on the mountain hill moved quickly. From the beginning of Greta’s entry, the huge embankment prepared by searching for a border area that the demons had never approached was expanding and shaking in front of her eyes. The stakes to which the ropes were attached were shaking, and water leaked out and soaked the floor.

the soldier shouted.

“Break the dam!”

Instead of answering, the blade flew toward the stake. Dozens of soldiers cut the rope at the same time, and the river, which did not know the way to go because the flow was blocked, overturned the downstream like a beast in the breeding season and began pouring down with furious force.

“charge! charge!”

The commander thought something was strange. It wasn’t the sound of horses’ hooves or the shouts of soldiers, but something else was moving at a faster beat than the speed of their advance.

If you think about it a little away from the excitement of battle, a bizarre and terrifying echo that you can’t hear was coming from the ground.

“aaagh!”

“It’s water! Water is pouring!”

Rough streams of water were rushing along with vibrations as if hundreds of giants were running. A muddy torrent swept through the commander’s cavalry, scraping the ground like a living creature, sweeping piles of collapsed lungs and rotting tree trunks.

“aaagh!”

“aaagh!”

A soldier who knew how to swim struggled while being entangled in a tree splinter, but was unable to overcome the current and crashed into a rock, breaking his head. A cavalryman who tried to escape on horseback could not overcome the muddy water rushing from behind and was eaten.

The commander panicked and stepped forward, only to be swept away by the water with his hand outstretched.

Numerous soldiers who came to trample the kingdom could not overcome the huge flow and were being swept away.

“Waaa!”

“Everyone die! die!”

Caybereth leaned against the wall and put on his helmet with a satisfied face. And shouted to the soldiers who seemed happy.

“What are you doing! Grab your weapons, everyone! Kill the demon soldiers who escaped from that stream!”

“Yes! All right!”

The soldiers, who had never trusted her, answered in excited voices. They opened the castle gates at the beckoning of Kebereth, and fired arrows and spears at the breathless soldiers who managed to get out to the riverside. Soldiers who had gone from savage invaders to miserable plight were literally being slaughtered.

Clear bloodstains were visible even in the muddy water of the river, and Ciberes once again sent a short apology to the warrior as he left the gate.

“I am sorry. Warrior. Because I entrusted you with a very difficult task. If you see it later, I will forgive you even if you hit me once.”

And Kayberes smiled.

Reminds me of the face of a certain man I love.

“I hope you understand, too.”
