Battle of Miliones (6)

The Balkan Empire’s heavy infantry led by McMorin did an excellent job of blocking the rapidly pouring onslaught of Leon’s marines.

“Don’t be scared!! Right now, we and those guys are so close together that we can’t even shoot arrows from there!! So hold your shield upright and focus only on blocking properly!!”

As if he believed in the soldiers who were firmly trained by him, McMorin stood at the forefront of the camp and encouraged them.

“Aim for the side! We are far ahead in numbers!!”

Count Gisco continued to deploy soldiers, but he could not help but let out a low groan as the soldiers were unable to break through the wall of Vulcan heavy infantry tightly surrounding the outskirts of Hyperion.

“Hehehe, it’s really amazing. Of course, considering that it is a battleship that the Empress is on, and that it has the most elite soldiers on board, it is impossible to believe that it can hold out like that despite being so outnumbered…”

“So, I apologize. Princess. However, the enemy soldiers are starting to fall one by one, so there will soon be a gap somewhere”

Indeed, as Count Gisco had said, the Balkan soldiers were falling little by little due to the barrage of supplies, so Princess Fiona let out a low laugh.

” I am not blaming you. It’s interesting that they are willing to risk death like that to protect my younger brother”

“Our soldiers are also willing to give up their lives for the princess…”

Fiona answered Count Gisco’s question with a faint smile.

“Isn’t your case different from mine? I am a comrade who shared life and death and hardships with the soldiers on the battlefield, but my younger sister is like a piece of luggage that came unexpectedly. Don’t you know the difference?”

“Ah. Is that what you meant? Well… if King Charles is on my ship, neither I nor any other soldier in our army will try to protect him… I can roughly understand it… but he is the master, isn’t he?”

“Even if you are a master, ordinary soldiers who do not have much to deal with enemy masters will not feel it. It might be different for soldiers who have dealt with the Master”

Fiona, who had been watching the battle while talking with Count Gisco, watched the place closely when a loud noise occurred.

“It was pierced!! Leon soldiers! Advance!!”

“Holy shit!! Evacuate the injured to the back and fill the gap quickly!!”

The area Fiona was watching was Hyperion’s rear, where McMorin’s command had to enter slightly late.

There, several Vulcan soldiers were falling backwards and groaning, and many Leon soldiers were rushing into them, so Fiona smiled in remorse.

“Hehe, just as the Lord said, it looks like there is a gap over there. That means…”

Scrap squeak!!

Before Fiona could finish her words, a flash of light flashed and dozens of Leon soldiers instantly turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

“He’s a master!!”

“Go away! There is nothing we can do about it!!”

Fiona’s eyes sparkled at the noise of the soldiers, and she turned her head towards Count Gisco and her eyes sparkled.

“…Are you okay? Wouldn’t it be better to fight with me? I’m not as good as the princess, but since I’m also a master, we can fight together…”

Fiona shook her head lightly in response to Count Gisco’s question.

“Shouldn’t you lead? If Gyeong is away, the soldiers’ movement will slow down and more damage will be incurred in suppressing them. And it is a duel with my sister, who is said to be the empress of an enemy country. I don’t want to be disturbed. Lastly… I could never get tired of Eliza, would I? Huhuhu”

Count Gisco sighed and nodded at Fiona’s confidence in her sure victory.

“That’s right… Well, if there is a Liechtenauer in the Balkans, there is a princess in Leon. Then… subdue the enemy Master Eliza. Please ”

Fiona nodded her head loudly and then took off with a bright smile.

Fiona climbed onto the deck of the Hyperion in just a few quick steps and slashed her sword with all her might toward Eliza, who was swinging her sword at the Leon soldiers.

“Eliza!! It’s been a while!”

“Hmph! You’re finally here! I was waiting!!”

Although it was a fleeting surprise attack, Eliza was able to quickly retrieve the sword she had thrown and successfully block Fiona’s sword.

“I heard you reached master level, so that’s pretty cool. By the way, this is the first time since Rachel’s wedding, right? It’s a bit unfortunate that the sisters met like this. It seems like only yesterday that I was a kid crying because I didn’t want to be sold to the Balkans”

“…What kind of old story are you talking about!! And I’m actually happy to go to the Balkans, right? Because I met the person I loved, got married, and had a baby. how is it? If you want, you can find that happiness for your sister too. To my husband’s concubine room”

“…Eliza, you learned how to tell jokes?

Fiona’s face hardened at Eliza’s words.

“Isn’t this a joke? Rachel’s sister cries out under my husband every day. Why? Isn’t Rachel the only one in the history of the continent who asks for sex in exchange for her salary while working as a prime minister? Kkkalkkal”

“This is crazy!! What bullshit!!”

Even in the social atmosphere of Leon, which boasted a liberal sexual culture, Fiona, who was a woman to the core, maintained chastity, and as such, she had little tolerance for such stories, so her face turned bright red.

“Aren’t you embarrassed to make such a provocation after becoming empress?”

“… I was telling the truth, but you’re making a joke…”

“Eight! shut up!! She got married at a young age and then treated me like a bastard… I can’t do it. As your older sister, I have to educate you today!!”

Fiona, who thought she had been caught up in her younger sister’s antics, burst into fierce anger and rushed at Eliza, spewing out blue-black energy.

Chaeae!!

“Kuktsk… W-what… The power of this sword strike is…”

“Hoo~ Can you stop this? It’s a lot better than I thought, right? Even Count Gisco’s defenses are often broken every time by this move… Our Eliza has trained a lot, right?”

“Why? I was embarrassed. sister? My sword is a lot stronger than I thought, right? Even Master Lichtenauer has gotten to the point where you can’t even touch him anymore?”

“Hmm… If he can barely do this much with his hands… Looks like Liechtenauer’s skills have deteriorated a lot?”

“What?”

Eliza became enraged by Fiona’s words, which seemed to insult her teacher, and attacked Fiona in return.

Cheaeng! Cheaeng! Cheaeng!!

“Hohohoho it’s fun!! It’s so nice to catch up with sisters after a long time! But how did you get the idea to make a suicide charge here? Sacrifice of the few for the many? Even if you become a prisoner, it probably wasn’t a complacent thought that you wouldn’t die, right?”

“Hmph! Isn’t it obvious? Why did I charge here with just one flagship? Sacrifice to save our soldiers? Isn’t that what it is? As long as I catch my sister, this is the battle! Because it will be our victory!!”

As soon as Eliza finished speaking, she put her sword back into its sheath.

“Hmm? what? Surrender…ㅕ Ugh!!”

Kaaaang!!

Eliza pulled out her sword from its scabbard and unleashed tremendous sword energy.

The power was strong enough to change the color of Fiona’s face, but it only dented Fiona’s sword and did not cause any actual damage.

“Phew… This was really dangerous. By the way, our Eliza. Still not enough? To unleash such a powerful attack without any clear chance of victory… So it’s my turn this time, right?

After that, Eliza had to focus all her attention on blocking Fiona’s frantic sword attacks.

However, she gradually began to lose out to her older sister, and even during the battle, the morale of the two armies, who were secretly watching the duel between the two, began to clearly diverge.

“The princess is winning!! Full army!! Throw the Balkan army into the sea!!”

“Hold on!! You crazy bastards!! Empress Mama is holding on for us!! If you are a bunch of guys with hot peppers, you have to endure it somehow!!”

“Navy!! Everyone, leave only the minimum number of people and come up on deck!! Give strength to the heavy infantry!!”

Count Leverkin’s timely support orders and McMorin’s encouragement prevented them from being completely pushed back, but the heavy infantrymen, who had already suffered over 300 casualties, were breathing heavily due to their increasingly exhausted stamina.

‘Hmm… It looks like the princess is slowly finishing this. It couldn’t be better than this to completely defeat the Balkan Navy and capture the Empress. After monopolizing the smuggling route instead of the Balkan Navy, a golden opportunity has come to make the princess a king!’

Count Gisco, who made a decision in his mind, ordered his soldiers to continue pouring in.

Due to the fierce resistance of the Balkan army, the navy already consisted of 5 battleships. Although the Leon Navy suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, capturing the enemy’s flagship and capturing the empress would mean a complete victory, so he ordered the deployment of additional troops without any hesitation.

And at that moment, the sun began to rise on the horizon.

“Ugh… It’s dazzling… Has it already been this long? Well… the mermaid’s festival has come to an end because the current has calmed down. Rather, it went well. There are about 700 enemies left, but now they are so exhausted that they can’t even move properly!! Get those guys right now…”

“Urgent news!!”

Count Gisco, who was about to give orders to finish off the Balkan soldiers, stopped his orders when he heard the watchman’s report coming from above.

“The enemy fleet has appeared!! That number… there are so many enemy ships that you can’t see the sea clearly!! Hit the enemy! The sea is three!!”

“What, what?!!”
