46 – There’s no way they’ll follow me.

Right after splitting off Parisect’s head, I couldn’t help but frown a little at the tingling sensation in one hand.

‘As expected, this attack puts a strain on the body… ‘

A blow that gathers and blows the maximum amount of mana that can be used for a moment.

As I’ve only tried it once before,

Its power was at a level that could annihilate 200 soldiers in a single blow, and as a bonus, even part of the resistance located in the front was blown away, showing the result of ignoring the mother.

However, no matter how much the body of a warrior and wearing hard armor, even today’s country had to prepare for a certain amount of physical strength and a little pain to deliver a blow like this.

If I had to use an analogy, the feeling of lifting and lowering a barbell with a limit value in the gym.

It was a level that could be recovered with a little rest, but it was a technique that was unreasonable to use continuously.

‘Well, to be honest, I don’t think there’s anything to do, but… Anyway, with this, the occupation of Antioch is complete.’

Antioch played a role as a bait to attract enemies.

Now that it is over, the fact that this place continues to hold out could bring the worst outcome to our side, and as soon as I saw the enemies coming from over the horizon, I immediately annihilated the Parisect troops who had been guarding the castle until the end. made it

and right after that.

“… ..gulp.”

I immediately gave instructions to Rebecca, whose face was in deep shock as she looked at me.

“Hey, don’t be dazed, go quickly and hang a flag.”

“you… Yeah? ah… . yes! Ah… I see!”

Rebecca, momentarily taken aback by my words, immediately starts moving.

Right after I ordered my men to inform the enemy that we had actually occupied this place, I began to keep a close eye on the approaching enemies without losing any tension.

Please earnestly pray that there are no crazy bastards out there.

“this… Unbelievable… ”

“Are we one step too late… ”

A scene in front of your eyes.

Watching the scene where the flag of the Demon Kingdom was hanging over the fortress of Antioch, a dark shadow automatically began to fall on the faces of the tribal allied forces who had been running nonstop for a long distance.

“damn! To think that General Parisect failed so miserably… ”

“I did my best to come running, but I thought I couldn’t stand it and collapsed…”

A flag flying from the spire located at the very center of the inner city.

This could be said to be the most decisive sign that Parisect, who had been fighting to the end in the castle, was eventually defeated.

Although they fought desperately in their own way, such as injuring the demon king, the defenders of Parisect and Antioch were defeated in the end.

The generals who had come a long way to this place began to express their condolences on the surface,

In fact, their heads were filled with cold calculations of future developments rather than sadness over the death of their comrades.

‘Parisect died in battle… It’s not good strategically, but from another point of view, it’s rather good. If this happens, you can say that one less powerful competitor who was aiming for the devil’s neck.’

‘It’s unfortunate that Antioch has passed, but it’s not over yet. Our number is almost twice that of them anyway. If we line up the battle lines and start a siege, we have a good chance of winning.’

‘Originally, I was planning to wipe out the demons in one go with a pincer attack with the soldiers of Antioch… but the plan went a little wrong, but I couldn’t. Even if a small amount of damage occurs, the goal should be to defeat the demon lord first… ‘

So, apart from the fall of Antioch, the generals of the Alliance of Tribes decided to focus on the ‘Devil’s Neck’ that eventually brought them here.

To this end, they quickly set up camps, reorganized their battle lines, and began preparing for a full-scale siege.

To be honest, the desire to occupy the castle and attack the exhausted enemies was like a chimney.

However, it is unreasonable for them to conduct a siege warfare without rotation even after running a long way without stopping.

In addition, since they rushed on horseback, most of the cavalry were now in a situation where they needed some time to wait for the infantry following behind them.

In this way, the tribal allied forces began to prepare for a full-fledged battle while taking a breather in the yard where there was nothing to hurry with the fall of Antioch anyway.

In order to fight more advantageous battles for complex reasons

And through this, in order to sever the demon king’s throat more reliably.

‘after… It was a bit close.’

Seeing the flag of the Demon Kingdom hanging in Antioch, the allied forces immediately stop advancing and begin to build their positions.

Looking at them, I let out a sigh of relief, realizing that the slightly dangerous moment had passed.

‘It’s fortunate, I was worried that those things would pretend to be crazy and push in like this… After all, it doesn’t seem reckless when Antioch is occupied.’

Aside from hastily setting up flags before they caught the eye of the enemy, the demons were exhausted from successfully occupying Antioch.

Since the air battle had just ended, the formation was in a mess, and in this situation where the equipment urgently needed an inspection,

If the enemies started a battle right away and induced a melee, it was impossible to know how the war would turn out.

In the worst case, they might have had to abandon the long-awaited Antioch and suffer a miserable defeat.

But… In this regard, I had faith that the enemy would not go that far, and in reality things worked out that way.

For a common-sense commander, it is correct to gather up troops immediately after running a long distance before launching a siege.

But nevertheless, as there are so many crazy people in the world, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy about this, and I could breathe a deep sigh of relief as I watched them catch their breath.

‘Well then, the danger has passed, and now all that remains is to decide how to clean them up… ‘

Currently, both our side and the enemy were exhausted and it was not easy to fight.

Even my direct subordinates would not have died right away, but even those who collapsed with bubbles occurred.

However, even at this time, I had my own method, and I was also prepared to execute it.

By the way…

“Hero.”

“yes?”

Rebecca’s voice suddenly heard the next moment.

In response, I turned my gaze to that direction, and there stood the adjutant I had seen before.

A messenger brought by the adjutant at the time.

If I remember correctly, it must be…

“Are you holding a meeting?”

“Yes, yes, warrior.”

“Okay, okay, let’s go right away.”

Déjà vu of a situation I’ve seen before…

However, at the same time, because of that, I felt uneasy, wondering if it was a dog trying to command something like the vanguard that was beaten again like back then,

With a really unwilling feeling, I headed for the conference hall held on one side of the castle.

‘Well, maybe things could be solved very easily if those guys decided to listen to me… but that’s not going to happen.’

They were ignorant, yet proud of themselves, and at the same time, they hated me to the point of putting me in the vanguard as an arrow holder.

As there was no way those guys would listen to me, I headed straight to the meeting room without any false expectations.

*

Samson, the commander of the demon corps.

At this moment, the generals, including him, were feeling quite awkward.

“You mean the number of enemies is that great?”

“Yes, I can’t confirm it, but it is more than 20,000, and it seems that it will reach almost 40,000 if the additional enemies are added.”

“Kuh… ”

“Damn it, why is this… ”

Antioch Castle, which succeeded in narrowly occupying it.

But,

Before they could even enjoy the joy of victory, enemies of an unexpected scale had gathered in front of their eyes.

Even the most ignorant of them knew that reinforcements would come to rescue Antioch, but the current situation far exceeded their expectations.

If they continued like this, they might lose the Antioch they had obtained again and be defeated.

“Everyone, stop lamenting and come up with something good! What would you like us to do in this situation?”

“Um… ”

“… ”

Samson’s words of urgency

Needless to say, he knew perfectly well that under the circumstances, an ignorant frontal charge would only lead to a charge to the grave.

Enemies are outnumbered and allies are exhausted

So, even if they tried to lay a siege, the defense of Antioch Castle here was not very helpful.

Neither the offense nor the defense gives a very good feeling.

However, the demons were only paying attention to each other. I couldn’t come up with any good alternatives.

Of course, the generals present here, including Samson, were all known for their so-called stone heads.

There is a saying that something comes out when the three of them get together, but that’s only possible when people with some brains gather together.

at that time,

Suddenly, in Samson’s gaze, the figure of the man who had been silent ever since he entered the meeting room,

The figure of the warrior began to enter.

He is the only person who is considered to have a good head among the people in this seat, and the figure of a warrior who made a revolutionary contribution in this battle.

‘… Umm… Yeah, maybe that would be better… It might be better to have one hero who showed deceit than 10 of us who are ignorant.’
