Episode 376: Battle With The Count (5)

Amidst the tedious standoff, a sudden change occurred.

An angel appeared in the sky, and enemy infantry descended from the mountains on the side of our formation.

As non-commissioned officers shouted and issued orders, the count’s soldiers began to murmur.

“What, what is that?”

“What’s that thing!”

“Enemy infantry is coming down from the mountain!”

However, the enemies looked strange.

They seemed to be fully armored, and perhaps it was an illusion, but their eyes glowed with a red light.

Like a ghost army.

“What? Why are their eyes red?”

“Their eyes are glowing!”

“Are they on drugs or something?”

The murmuring spread.

“Silence, everyone!!!”

This was not good.

The count’s non-commissioned officer, judging so, immediately shouted and ended the confusion.

“The enemies have just come down from the mountain! They are wearing heavy armor! Their defense will be considerable, but they will soon run out of stamina! Stand firm! Conserve your energy by standing still! Then we can win!”

Losing momentum before the battle even started would mean losing a winnable fight. After all, we had already taken positions and conserved our energy.

We had the advantage in the fight.

“Remember! We have archers and mages behind us! Just hold on! They will support us!”

The shouting non-commissioned officer also felt uneasy, but he gained courage by convincing himself. Looking at the situation, it was a bit suspicious, but we also had mages behind us.

There was no way we could lose.

“That’s right. If we just trust the mages, there’s no problem.”

“Actually, angels aren’t much when they get shot with arrows.”

“Those pretty girls are made of flesh too, they do die.”

The soldiers thought so too.

They were elite soldiers who had experience fighting angels.

—Thump, thump!

The goblin heavy infantry, clad in full plate armor, advanced with iron shields and spears. It was a sight like a wave of metal.

“Kerk! Kerk!”

“Kerk, kerk!”

The goblins emitted eerie war cries and glowed with red light. They also wore iron masks like demons.

They were the very image of the Demon King’s army.

I imagined the feelings of the enemy infantry who had to face this infantry head-on.

“It’s a loss of morale, without a doubt.”

I continued to advance my troops. We would decide the outcome now. We would clash the infantry and have the Lamias execute a grand charge.

There was no way we could lose.

Then it happened.

—Whoosh!

“Arrow rain is coming!”

The pixie shouted.

“Halt! Raise your shields! Lower your stance and minimize the target area!”

“Keryak!”

—Whoosh!

The entire army stopped. They immediately raised their shields overhead and lowered their stance.

“Dark nuns! Deploy the barrier!”

“Haap!”

—Ziiing!

The dark nuns formed an evil barrier.

My dark nuns had been focusing on healing the wounded and administrative work, but their growth had not stopped. They had learned various new dark magic by constantly receiving my mana.

One of them was this barrier.

—Whoosh!

—Phyat!

It wasn’t very strong, but it could reduce the intensity of the arrow rain. The falling arrows hit the round mana barrier, ricocheted, and lost their power.

—Pawang!

Some barriers broke, but they were immediately replenished.

—Thud, thud, thud!

The arrow rain continued for a while, but there was no significant damage. I had equipped my troops with excellent gear.

“Kerk, kerk! It didn’t work at all!”

“Good! Advance again!”

I moved my infantry forward again.

—Thump, thump.

Advance, advance.

“Keryaak…!”

“Kerk! Kill, kerk!”

“For victory and glory! Kerk!”

As the battle approached, the goblins began to get excited. The enemy infantry’s faces began to appear.

“Lilriel!!!”

—Flutter!

The Fallen Angels took flight.

The Fallen Angels, who had taken off from the rear, deployed barriers and charged their black flame cannons. At the same time, the count’s archers fired at the Fallen Angels.

—Swaeeeeek!

The arrows, which flew over our infantry towards the sky, were imbued with magic. They hindered the Fallen Angels’ casting. Serinu reported in the meantime.

“Soldiers inside the formation, except for the front line! Changed to a dispersed formation!”

“Good.”

The front line had to fight, but the inner troops needed to spread out to minimize damage. It was a good compromise.

—Kwaang!

The Fallen Angels finally succeeded in firing their black flame cannons. It exploded inside the enemy formation, but there would be little damage as they had formed a dispersed formation.

Now, Lilriel would attract aggro from above and fire black flame cannons… Everything was going as I had planned.

—Flash!

I urgently activated Evil Eye.

Through the shared vision, I saw the Lamias begin to move beyond.

—Thududududu!

I had given Juria one order.

Charge towards the entire formation as soon as our angels took off.

—Kugugugugu!

—Kugugugugugu!

The Lamias, armed with vicious iron plate armor that protected their entire bodies and evil horned helmets like those of the Demon King, charged fiercely with lances tucked under their arms.

If the goblin heavy infantry were a wave, they were a tsunami.

—Kugugugu!

Their snake-like lower bodies were masses of powerful muscles from start to finish, and they were enhanced by my mana. Their explosive power resulted in a formidable charge.

“Kyaaaaaaak!”

“Kyaaaaak!”

The Lamias charged in a wedge formation…! Even the new recruits followed behind, increasing their numbers and making them look even more threatening!

Now, they would penetrate the gaps in the formation created by the angels.

Once the front line was broken, the inside would be virtually empty. Spreading out against the Lamia lancers was like leaving the door wide open!

“Soon! Juria’s side will engage! Cut Churel’s chains!”

“Yes!”

“Eit!”

—Kwaang!

The waiting dark elf axemen struck down and severed Churel’s chains.

“Kyahak…?!”

Churel, who had been passively dragged along, was startled and opened her eyes wide. She was currently subdued by drugs, but if I injected my mana here…

—Pyoote.

“Go, Churel!”

Her consciousness awakened, and she fell into a state of extreme excitement!

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

Accordingly,

—Clank!

—Kooong!

The former Lamia queen, with her giant-like physique, roared with all her might. Just that was enough to drive them mad with fear, and now she was wearing spiky full-body armor.

Even though there were no artisans capable of making giant-sized armor, it was a makeshift armor made by adding and adding iron plates. But even such armor, close to a lump of iron…

If a monster wore it, it was an absolute shield and a terrifying weapon. How much did the armor weigh…!

“Churel, chaaaaaaaaaarge!”

As I shouted with mana,

“Shiiiiiiiiiiiik!”

A thunderous snake roar erupted. At the same time, Churel wrapped her entire body in mana, emitted red light from her eyes, and charged fiercely towards the enemy infantry!

—Kugugugugung!

—Kugung!

It was as if a tank was passing by.

Her weight, the weight of the armor, and the destructive muscular power from her physique combined to tear up the ground and kick up dust as she advanced!

—Jjuuk!

Churel quickly overtook the goblin infantry!

“The enemies…! The inside is still a dispersed formation!”

“Then it’s over as soon as Churel goes in! Queen! Go and support Churel from behind!”

“Okay. I will. Follow this queen, everyone?”

“Yes, ma’am!”

“Waaaaaa!”

—Paaat!

Then Rexabella and her dark elf warriors kicked off the ground and ran. They were also armed with iron armor. But what did armor matter?

Their weapons were wrapped in blue aura.

“Goblin infantry! Take up your spears and execute a short-range charge!”

“Kerk! Everyone! Prepare for a short-range charge! Three! Two! One! Go, shoot!”

—Keryaaaaaaak!

—Kereueueueuk!

All the cards were on the table.

The goblins assisted with the final push.

A monster.

A giant monster was charging.

“Th, th, that’s!”

“A demonic beast! It’s a demonic beast!”

“It’s a monster from hell! Ack, aaaaaack!”

The count’s soldiers here were all seasoned veterans, considered elite. They were brave warriors who had fought many times on battlefields where enemy angels’ bombardments fell.

“Heuaaaaaaak!”

Those soldiers screamed in panic.

—Kugugugugugugu!

The monster.

The demonic beast.

A huge something was shattering the ground, kicking up dust, and charging fiercely. Its size was like a building, it had lumps of iron attached to its entire body, and if they weren’t mistaken, its lower body was a snake.

A really big snake.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

That giant monster was charging, emitting a demonic roar, scattering red light from its eyes, and wielding a greatsword larger than an adult male like a demon!

“N, no!!!”

“Why this way…!”

“Go away! Go that way, you bastard!”

The soldiers who were unlucky enough to face the monster head-on despaired. It was charging straight towards them.

An enemy knight order was executing a grand charge?

Even in that situation, it wouldn’t be as scary as this moment.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

The soldiers were terrified of that giant monster.

Insanely.

“Aaaaaaack!”

“Get lost, you bastard!”

“M, move! Move away!”

Eventually, the soldiers in the front line threw down their weapons and began to flee. They were not superhumans or heroes to maintain formation in front of such a nightmare monster.

“Stop! Stop! Hold your ground!!!”

The non-commissioned officer screamed.

The front line collapsed before the impact. The guys who had held their ground even when facing enemy lancers were deserting.

Then?

What would happen next?

He turned around in fear.

The soldiers in the rear had spread out since the angels had appeared.

“Ah…!”

Only despair.

“Immediately! Immediately return to a dense formation!!!”

He shouted, but

For some reason, the order didn’t go through.

—Kyaaaaaaak!

—Aaaaaaack!

Screams were coming from behind.
