136 – Calamity Wave 4

thumb nail..

However, the day after the unrest that could have had a very big impact.

Finally, after finishing the final maintenance, the large army of the Turks began to move slowly.

At the forefront, infantrymen holding shields were advancing in formation, and countless sirens were flying slowly in the sky, holding weapons, in a regular formation as if birds were dancing in groups.

Just by looking at it with your eyes, you can feel the tremendous pressure.

The Franz Kingdom army, watching this from the top of a low barrier made of temporary stones piled up with the river in front, began to show signs of agitation little by little.

‘That’s the Turk Empire…’

‘Can we really beat that?..’

‘Werewolves…even lizardforks…they’re monsters that are terrifying just by looking at them…’

Although he didn’t talk about it outwardly, seeing the army mixed with a large number of demons who were not ordinary humans, Franz-kun, who was trained only in war with humans, began to feel deep anxiety.

Although it was in a position to preoccupy a relatively advantageous defensive terrain on top of a barrier along a river, it was inevitable to feel an instinctive feeling of fear while watching beast-like beings.

However, there were also people who helped them overcome their fears.

“Don’t panic and stand firm! It’s only one day. If you hold out for a day, reinforcements will arrive.”

“No matter how strong they are, they are just heretics. We are the holy army of the Lord! God will protect us!”

The reinforcements moving south, and the generals encouraging the soldiers by reminding them of their banner once again in the name of a holy war.

Although it may have sounded like a cliché, even such words were of great comfort to the soldiers in this situation.

On the other hand, while advancing like that, a large Turkish army stopped at some distance from the river bank.

Stopping where the arrows could not yet reach, they slowly began to change formation before advancing.

As the shield soldiers who were defending the front retreated, they made their way forward.

What appeared next was an innumerable number of cannons reaching hundreds of gates.

“Everybody prepare for bombardment!”

The soldiers who start to ignite the wick at the command of the corps commander leading the 1st Army

And..

“launch!”

-Kwaguagwang!!!-

Cannons begin to fire with a loud sound.

As they were, they exploded on the simple barrier and began to generate an enormous shock.

“Kuh… ”

“Damn… you make a lot of noise right from the start!”

“We shoot too! Give those damn things some hot taste!”

Innumerable cannonballs fired from Franz’s camp at the command of the generals

Although it was an incomparable scale compared to the hundreds of doors of the Turkish army, at least it had the effect of stopping the artillery fire of the enemies who were shooting fiercely.

That moment when the barrage of gunfire against each other ended. The commander of the Turkish army drew his sword and gave an order.

“Advance! Show those fools the might of the Empire!”

As soon as the order was given, the Turks started marching again.

As if frozen, they seemed reckless as they marched toward the river without a pontoon bridge.

“Those… what the hell are you thinking?”

“You’re advancing without letting go of the pontoon bridge? Are you going to commit suicide as a group?”

Franz begins to feel doubts and bewilderment at his incomprehensible behavior.

But.

Behind their seemingly reckless march were thousands of sorcerers with crystal balls and lamps.

“I command the spirit…”

“The cold energy of this land…”

“Open our way with cold air!”

They use witchcraft with a quiet yet clear voice.

OK..

-Awesome!-

“What… what is that?”

“Go… the river… is the whole river frozen?”

The river, which had flowed proudly just a moment ago, turned into an icy road in an instant.

As a result, Franz’s face was filled with astonishment, and at the same time, the Turkish Imperial Army began to run without hesitation over the icy river.

As they had already received iron rods in their boots in preparation for this situation, there was no obstacle in running on the ice.

Seeing the soldiers in bewilderment at the enemy’s unexpected advance, the generals and generals urgently gave orders.

“Don’t panic! Concentrate on the enemies in front of you!”

“Archers, don’t be dazed! Enemies are coming within range soon! All ready to fire!”

Franz-kun barely recovers from the commanders’ words.

The archers then ran across the river and strung their bows at the advancing Turks.

And,.

“launch!”

Countless arrows are fired as soon as the order is given.

The stems of death pouring down like rain exploded on the front of the Turks.

“Kuk!”

“Gagging!”

Countless soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows.

However, this alone could not break the momentum of the Turk army, which was advancing without hesitation, and in the end, the enemy’s forefront succeeded in reaching the barrier.

Soldiers climbing ladders like that.

Even as arrows and stones flew and Franz-kun fired spears right overhead, they climbed up the barrier one by one and began swinging their swords.

“Damn… I was easily caught off guard from the start…”

Seeing the Turkish Imperial army rushing right up to the barrier in an instant, General Favre automatically frowned.

He thought that he would at least be able to buy some time while blocking the enemy’s crossing, but his expectation was now in a wonderfully wrong situation.

‘If there were thousands of shamans, that kind of thing would be possible.

Beings called sorcerers who only exist among people from the Eastern Continent.

Compared to magical users such as wizards and witches, their combat power was relatively low.

However, it had the advantage of being able to use a variety of abilities relatively easily by borrowing the power of the spirit even if the direct combat power was reduced.

Above all, if the number reached thousands like the Turk army, it could cause an unexpected situation like now.

The fact that he had overlooked that fact was a very painful part for Favre, who was considering the geographical advantage.

“I can’t. We also move the knights. We cannot allow the enemy to overrun the barrier.”

“All right.”

Even though the advantage of the river has disappeared, the difference between having and not having a barrier is quite large from the standpoint of defending.

That’s how Favre sent out some of the waiting knights, and soon after, the effect began to appear clearly.

“Keuouk!”

“Keugh!”

Unlike ordinary soldiers, many knights are magical users.

Wearing blue mantles and armor, due to their overwhelming power against ordinary humans, the Turkish army, which had been advancing without hesitation, began to slow down little by little.

The moment they climbed over the barrier, the Turkish Empire soldiers were instantly decapitated by Franz’s knights.

Every time the knights swung their swords, the weapons they were holding were cut off like tree branches, and even if they tried to insert their weapons in consideration of the damage, the knights showed agile movements and lightly blocked or avoided them.

“Jazz.. those guys are strong!”

“Don’t engage melee! If you jump in clumsily, your head will run away!”

“Shoot the arrow! If anyone has one, shoot him!”

Knights brandishing their swords and firmly guarding the top of the barrier

The Turks tried to knock them down by shooting bullets and arrows at them, but even that was not very effective due to the hard armor and magic barriers worn by the knights.

at that time..

“Kyaaa!!”

“Keoouk!!”

The next moment, a sharp sound came from somewhere.

Right after that, the scream of the knight who had been mercilessly slashing the Turks could be heard from there.

Just like that, the knight fell to the ground with his head torn off.

And.. at this time when other articles did not even know what happened to the media there.

Among the Turks, something like a sword leaping over the wall began to be seen.

“Uh…aaagh!”

Right after that, the miserable screams of the knights were heard again.

And in its place… It was a nimble yet terrifying figure, standing with a bite on the knight’s neck.

“Rurrr. ”

“This… this…”

“Lee… lizard fork… ”

A bipedal reptile up to 2 m in length.

Instead of holding a weapon in its small hands, it possessed sharp claws and teeth. It terrifyingly moved its vertically split yellow eyes and lightly spat out the scruff of the dead knight’s neck from between its teeth.

And..

“Kyaaa!!”

The lizard fork spewed a terrifying roar as it was, and rushed towards the knights again.

At the same time, as the same phenomenon occurred in succession throughout the barrier, a bloody bloody battle between the knights and lizard forks began to take place.
