Battle of Miliones (7)

No matter how much he thought about it, there was no way the 2nd Balkan Fleet could arrive at that time, so Count Gisco was panicked and quickly climbed the mast, and saw that numerous ships that seemed to really cover the sea were crushing his fleet that was pursuing the 1st Fleet. I was able to.

Because the Royal Navy of Leon was unable to escape using its unique mobility because it was trying to chase down the 1st Balkan Fleet and annihilate it, they ended up allowing the 2nd Balkan Fleet to approach.

The Corvus rammed into the Leon Kingdom ship, utilizing the speed that had come from afar, and slammed down on the drawbridge at the rear, fixing the ship’s hull, and the heavy infantrymen rushed over.

It was a battle between marines and heavy infantry, who were no match for close combat power, and as the 1st and 2nd fleets merged and were outnumbered, Leon’s marines began to be quickly destroyed.

“Princess!! Our main force is being destroyed by the enemy support fleet”

“I know too!!”

Since the main force was pushed back, their only option was to destroy the enemy’s flagship and take Eliza prisoner, so Count Gisco shouted to Fiona and informed her of the situation.

As soon as Fiona understood the situation, she immediately tried to suppress Eliza by maximizing her mana, but Eliza hardly fell.

“Keuuu!! Eliza… you…”

“Ha… ha… sister. I’m sorry, but you’d better give up on taking me prisoner and taking over our fleet. Sure, she’s stronger than me… but she’s not to the point where she can be defeated by such a clumsy sword that can’t be found alive!!”

Cheaeng!!

Instead, Fiona bit her lower lip as she watched Eliza go on the offensive and even push her away.

‘Tsk… I wonder if there’s still strength left after all that pressure… But it still takes quite a bit of time for the enemy’s 2nd fleet over there to defeat our main fleet and get here…’

After roughly calculating the time, Fiona focused on the duel with Eliza again and began to push her sister again. The urgent voice of the watchman was heard once again in Fiona’s ears.

“Enemy reinforcements have appeared!! The flagship White Star, seen cutting through the ocean current in a straight line, is now approaching!! That’s incredible speed!!”

“!! Sir Gisco!! Please prepare for enemy reinforcements!!”

Upon hearing the news that reinforcements had appeared, Fiona wanted to check the situation with her own eyes, but Eliza, who was right in front of her, was her top priority, so she called Count Gisco.

“Wow, reinforcements!? Damn it!! Nonsense!! Even though the mermaid’s festival has subsided, rough ocean currents still remain. How could that massive Balkan battleship… Besides, there’s no way it would have the capacity to even organize reinforcements!!”

Upon hearing Fiona’s voice, Count Gisco distorted his face in embarrassment.

With nervous eyes, he was leading his troops to quickly suppress the Balkan heavy infantry. When he heard that reinforcements had appeared, he immediately jumped on the mast and observed the sea from the side of the watchman.

However, no matter how much he looked, Count Gisco could not find a large fleet, so he had to send a watchman.

“Where are the enemy reinforcements?”

“There I am!! It’s so fast that I think I’ll reach the main ship in the next 30 minutes!!”

“Where on earth is it…. Hmm? Ha, just one?!”

Looking at the direction pointed by the watchman, Count Gisco was able to spot a ship approaching quickly.

However, unlike the giant Corvus, a typical Balkan battleship, the ship was in the shape of a typical battleship, so he sighed in relief and quickly shook his head.

‘If even a large number of reinforcements showed up here, the enemy’s morale would have risen significantly… but if it was just an ordinary battleship, it wouldn’t matter much. Considering that it is a battleship that can carry 250 people when fully filled, and that the bottom of the ship is not deeply submerged, it is clear that the number of troops is not even 100. The commander of the enemy’s 2nd Fleet must have seen that the flagship was in danger and sent a regular battleship that can sail quickly. With such a small number of reinforcements, the morale of the enemy soldiers, who were disappointed by the small number of soldiers, would actually drop! Destroy the enemy soldiers in one fell swoop and capture the empress!!’

After thinking, Count Gisco ran back to the battlefield and commanded his troops.

“Don’t worry about enemy reinforcements!! It’s just one boat and less than a hundred people!! So don’t worry about that, quickly annihilate the enemy and capture the enemy flagship!!”

Wow

Count Gisco’s loud cry that there were less than a hundred reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Leon Marines, and conversely, it significantly lowered the morale of the Balkan Army, who were anxiously awaiting the news of the arrival of reinforcements.

“I also agree with what the author said!!”

“Large, captain?”

The soldiers looked at him in bewilderment when McMorin agreed with the enemy commander’s cry, despite the fact that the opponent’s claim was false.

“Don’t worry about reinforcements!! When did you say we were waiting for reinforcements or something?! Who are we? Isn’t it a royal guard corps!! Isn’t it a shame that he is fighting for us when it is not enough to protect the Empress?”

“Ha, but… the opponent is the master…”

Wow!!

“What if you are a master?! A guy with balls is so scared… Is the Master a big deal? If the enemy master attacks right now, are you going to just point out his head and ask him to kill you?”

“Well, it’s not that, but…”

“Then that’s it! Don’t be scared even if the enemy master comes!! Don’t be scared even if reinforcements don’t come!! It’s grit!! Hold on with grit!! Do you understand?!”

It was nonsense, but anyway, the morale of the legionnaires, who had fallen to the bottom due to his actions, was able to recover, and they were able to continue to withstand the cruel attacks of the Kingdom of Leon’s navy.

However, the appearance of the Balkan army was observed in detail by Count Gisco.

‘Hmm… that guy was the problem. Leverkin is in charge of commanding the ship, and that guy is in charge of commanding the heavy infantry. For some reason, I wondered how the soldiers held on even though Count Leverkin was away… He was the cause.’

Because McMorin was blocking the offensive together at the front line and rotating reserve troops to the right place, the heavy square was still withstanding the offensive of the Leon Kingdom army and forcing an exchange rate that was several times higher.

Until now, he had not been able to figure out who the commander was because McMorin was wearing the same clothes as regular heavy infantrymen, but McMorin’s voice roaring as if the Master was a big deal helped Count Gisco figure out who the commander was.

“Is mastering a big deal? Hahaha, I guess I’ll have to make him realize the difference. Judging from the scale, it appears to be a thousand seal… I need to test the inaction of a thousand seal”

Count Gisco, who was quietly muttering in his seat, drew his sword from its scabbard.

“Adjutant. I’m going to teach that guy what a master is. I would like you to lead me for a moment”

“Yes? Ha, but… soon…”

Count Gisco’s adjutant looked at him with bewildered eyes, as the distance between the approaching enemy ships was short.

“Enemy reinforcements are no big deal anyway. Anyway, if we just eliminate their focal point, the enemy soldiers will fall quickly. Do you understand?”

“Yes. Okay!”

After handing over command to his adjutant, Count Gisco leaped forward and climbed onto the deck of the Hyperion.

“What, what?! Did you come because you wanted to die too?!”

A heavy infantryman jabbed a spear at Count Gisco, who had landed on the boat with extremely fast movements, but he easily dodged the spear and looked around.

“Wwiyu~ That’s a huge exchange fee. For every one of you killed, ten of our soldiers must have died. And… it’s because of you, right?”

Kaang!!

Count Gisco, who easily blocked an iron bar that was unexpectedly thrust in from the side, glared at the owner of the iron bar.

“Chet… Is he really a master? Tsuba…”

“I enjoyed the speech earlier. Master said it’s not that big of a deal… you can survive with grit, right? Then I guess I’ll have to test whether that statement is true”

Suddenly!

Count Gisco, who cut down the two heavy infantrymen blocking his path with a sword wearing a sword, quickly threw his sword at McMorin.

“Aaaaa!! Damn it!!”

“Khahahaha you’re so quick! But… didn’t you say that you can survive with perseverance?”

McMorin barely managed to avoid Count Gisco’s sword by leaping with all his might, but the Count’s sword radiated a strange sword energy and was aimed at McMorin’s neck at a strange angle. McMorin used all his remaining strength to avoid the Count’s sword or barely managed to avoid it. I put it.

“Hoo~ It’s pretty good. Even though I am several levels lower than the princess, even most mid-level knights could not avoid my sword like this. Was it your driver?”

“Heng… The article is a piece of cake… You have no intention of becoming something noble like that?”

“Hmm… No matter how barely he does it… If he were to be able to shed a sword surrounded by sword energy, his skills would have surpassed that of a senior knight… He is a waste of talent. If you surrender to Leon even now, it will cost you your life, of course. I promise you that I will preserve the lives of all my subordinates. What is it like? What is an honorable surrender?”

Count Gisco slowly approached McMorin, who escaped fatal wounds but was bleeding profusely from severe cuts here and there, and encouraged him to surrender.

chuck!!

“What do you mean? I can still survive with grit! So, go for it!! Huh?”

“Hmm… If that’s what you mean…”

Several of McMorin’s heavy infantry courageously stabbed Count Gisco in the back with their spears, but they were quickly cut down and fell to the ground.

Then, as he watched Count Gisco’s sword, full of black energy, fall from above, McMorin sensed that it was over and closed his eyes tightly.

‘Is this the fucking end… I said this out loud… I’m so embarrassed…’

but…

Cheaeng~!!

McMorin opened his eyes at the sound of a sword flying from somewhere and striking Count Gisco’s sword.

“Ha… haha… Are you okay, McMorin?”

“Woe, Empress Mama!!”

Surprised that it was Eliza who saved him, McMorin quickly got up despite her serious injuries and helped her as she fell to the floor.

“What is it? Was it just a thousand seal that you tried to protect even when you were cut by my sword? I also…”

“He served in the army with my husband from his hometown, and all the soldiers here are my comrades, but he is only injured…”

At Fiona’s taunts coming from behind, Eliza gritted her teeth and stood up.

“Hwa, the Empress called us comrades in arms…”

“What the fuck are they doing!! wake up!! You can’t die later than Empress Mama while being protected by her!!”

As Eliza stood up, the soldiers, moved by her words, once again gained strength and gripped their spears and shields with all their might.

“… It’s a little annoying… but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to organize it all at once”

“I should have done this a long time ago. If two masters attack at once, Eliza won’t be able to do anything”

“Yes. Eliza’s skills were better than I thought, so things didn’t go as I expected. Still, if you take them prisoner and force them to cede territory and make a military treaty with the Balkan countries…”

Fiona slowly approached to finish off Eliza and McMorin with the idea of normalizing Leon by attacking her father with Vulcan’s forces.

And that moment. A tremendous roar was heard from behind Hyperion.

Wow!!

“What, what?!”

“What the hell!! This is the sound of the Corvus drawbridge being lowered to bring in reinforcements!!”

The voice was Count Leverkin, who had been absent from the battle, and Eliza smiled brightly at the sound of his voice.

“Ah~ Those reinforcements who were said to be less than 100 strong? That must come… well, the situation…”

“Heh… Wouldn’t those white soldiers be different depending on who is coming?”

“Hmm?”

Fiona tilted her head slightly as she looked at Eliza who suddenly regained her composure. And she had to hastily switch her sword to a defensive stance due to the enormous presence felt from behind.

Kwaaaa!!

“It’s okay now. Because… I’m here!!”
