Chapter 53
Makai Hongi

I was sleeping when someone suddenly woke me up. We were in a battlefield, so it couldn’t be helped if it was an emergency.

It wasn’t the place to get a good sleep. And so I didn’t complain.

I had been asleep for just an hour or two.

In other words, the fatigue was as strong as ever.

My wounds weren’t healed. The only difference was that I had stopped bleeding.

Our guests were supposed to be the Corps Commander and his army. What did they want?

I probably should have gone out to meet them. But my body wasn’t obeying me at the moment.

“Hey, Golan. They say you did it again?”

“Corps Commander… Why are you here?”

He had come to see me.

Corps Commander Nehyor appeared with his men.

“So, you really do like sleeping on top of the corpses of your enemies, Golan.”

He said with wide eyes.

“Well, they do a lot of damage and I haven’t recovered yet.”

“I see. I suppose even the great Golan cannot take down a Gigant Centaur without getting hurt.”

The great what… Who did he think I was?

Also, couldn’t he just answer my first question?

“…So, where are you going?”

His men were all armed as they marched. It was as if they were off to war.

“I just thought I’d stop at the enemy’s main camp.”

“What?”

Their main camp… Was it such an easy thing to do?

If Corps Commander Nehyor was defeated, we’d have to retreat. This whole area would be taken by the enemy.

“Up until now, the enemy was still here. But look. There is a straight path to their camp now.”

“Well…yes.”

“So there is no worry of a pincer attack. A good opportunity for us, don’t you agree?”

“Yes…I suppose.”

Theoretically, it was as he said.

The enemy had split up into three camps.

If Nehyor’s men tried to find a gap, and head towards the enemy main camp, one of the other armies could turn around and attack them.

And that would result in them having to fight the enemy on both sides.

If they went now, there would be no enemy to intercept them, as I had just taken this camp.

And we could protect their rear.

The enemy’s other army might try and turn around, but it would be difficult for them to reach Nehyor, as I and the other armies would be there…no, it would be impossible.

If anything, it would be very easy for us to stab the enemy in the back.

That being said, going directly to the main camp now also felt a bit risky.

If they lost, not only would our accomplishments today be for nothing, but it would affect all the other battlefields.

Was he so confident that he wouldn’t lose?

The Commander I had defeated had been a Corps Commander class.

Considering that, the enemy in the main camp would be in the General class.

And this was just my own opinion, but I was quite sure that the gap between Corps Commander and General was much higher than the gap between Commander and Corps Commander.

I had never heard of anyone beating a General through Gekokujyo.

Why? Because it’s just that hard to beat someone who is above you.

“Are you sure?”

“Oh? Are you worried about me, Golan?”

“Uh, well…I guess.”

“Hmm. I’m not really sure. But we have momentum. I think we should be able to make it.”

Wasn’t the bigger problem what you would do after arriving?

Of course, there was no way that he didn’t know that.

And so I decided that I wouldn’t ask any more questions.

“Do your best to avoid getting killed.”

“Indeed. …Well, we must go now.”

    The rest of the chapter:

    And so the Corps Commander led his subordinates away.

    After some time had passed, Beka raised her voice.

    “That’s the Corps Commander? I wouldn’t…be able to beat him, even if he was standing on his hands. That mana level!”

    “I see. It’s your first time seeing him, Beka.”

    “Yes. Even you wouldn’t be able to beat him, brother.”

    “Of course, not. Besides, he’s still just the Corps Commander. There is someone above him, right?”

    “Yes. I’ve never met him myself. But the General is supposed to be even more impressive.”

    “Ahhh. That’s insane.”

    “That’s scary.”

    Apparently, even the idiot siblings had something to think about.

    “Hey, brother. The Corps Commander’s subordinates were also pretty strong, weren’t they?”

    I understood what she meant.

    Corps Commander Nehyor’s subordinates.

    This was the first time I had seen them. They were all wearing black capes.

    A whole group of Vampires dressed in pitch black. And there seemed to be Ghost Knights behind them.

    But they were all fully armored, and I couldn’t tell them apart.

    “Were those Living Armors behind them?”

    I see. So that’s what Saifo had thought.

    I considered it and then corrected him.

    “No, they are not. Living Armor are only armor in their upper half. Everything below the waist is supposed to be a black mist. Since they wore a full set of armor, I think they are Ghost Knights.”

    “I see. Regardless, they all looked very strong.”

    “Well, he’s attacking the main base with those members. So they must be good at breaking through enemy lines.”

    However, what about the enemy boss?

    I wouldn’t be too surprised if Nehyor won without too much trouble. But then it would be strange that he wasn’t a General in this land.

    “…No, was it strange?”

    Nehyor was a Vampire who came from the outside. This had interested me enough to ask Rig to find out more about him. However, there was no information about what he was doing before he came here.

    It was three hundred years ago, and he was currently a great Corps Commander.

    “I think I’ll go on a journey to train, once I return to the village.”

    Saifo started to say.

    One time, I had isolated myself on a mountain in order to get stronger.

    It seemed like he remembered that.

    If my memory serves, I did actually return much stronger than before. Though, the truth was that I just didn’t want anyone to see me training. That was the reason.

    And so I didn’t see what Saifo would gain from going to the mountains.

    “…I don’t think you should do that.”

    They were meat heads that were so thoughtless people called them the idiot siblings. Effective training was likely not possible.

    He would be better off charging at me every day. Of course, I would just ignore him, as it was too much trouble.

    After some time had passed, we could hear sounds coming from the enemy’s main camp.

    “Both armies have collided. We should prepare to run away, just in case.”

    If Corps Commander Nehyor lost, we’d have no chance of winning.

    We could do nothing but run.

    However, once the sun started to descend, a wise eagle arrived and told us that Nehyor had been victorious.

    Apparently, he had taken the main enemy camp.
