Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 413

[413Tue] Departure

The sight of the human army moving again was no different from yesterday, but none of the demons looked at this with optimism..

It's already been 7 years since the war has been going on without even being able to properly defeat a single nation of a race that was clearly considered weaker than them. No one was so bright as to think that those who had attempted a large-scale retrieval operation toward the territory they had lost almost at the beginning of the war were repeating the mistakes of the day before without any countermeasures..

Even individual soldiers are like this, let alone commanders. The commander, who was standing on the castle wall and watching the large army approaching, asked his adjutant, confident that something would be different from yesterday..

"Other movements around?"

"They considered the possibility of digging a tunnel, but the detection unit found nothing.."

"The dragon knight?"

"Same thing. Still, I had friendly dragons on standby just in case...."

They said the possibility was low. Even though the catapults flying from afar were getting bigger and bigger, the commander calmly nodded and lightly waved his hand to give an order to the magic unit..

The stone shatters, the magic explodes, and arrows rain down just like yesterday..

"Fly the drake. Even if it was just a greeting to confirm our response yesterday, it's strange that they still move the same way today. This time we go exploring."

"Should we all move??"

Unlike the human drake knights who had to undergo specialized training, the demons' drakes were almost half-wild. As a result, it was difficult to show the same appearance as the human race in detail, but the number of dragons that were less trained was also brought in and used, so the number of people was large..

There were 40 flying dragons in the city that was once called the Margrave of Lévienne. If the human dragon knight was the standard, it would have been a huge army, but it was of no practical use, so it was just a monster that listened to words..

"half."

Therefore, it is also a hand that can be thrown boldly. Unlike the human race, the demon dragon's position was exactly that..

The adjutant hurried down the wall to carry out his orders, and soon the attack stopped. Yesterday, the magic attempted by the Demon King's army was destroyed, creating a loophole, but today it was the opposite. The human army began to make noise, taking as a signal that the magic that the friendly magicians had narrowly blocked after a lot of hard work, probably due to the presence of a capable magician, misfired and exploded in a position very close to the castle wall..

Also, as I looked down at the battlefield, thinking it was a battering ram, a scene unfolded that made the commander doubt his eyes..

"...one person?"

Humans wearing only armor and other simple weapons were crossing the battlefield at incredible speeds..

You could tell that he was a knight of considerable skill just by looking at his running speed, but in fact, what was even more noticeable was his armor that focused on mobility, unlike ordinary knights, and the two-handed ax he carried on his back. The commander, who could not figure out why he was running alone while armed and not a threat enough to destroy the castle gate or something capable of manipulating the castle walls, looked suspicious and ordered the soldier next to him to pick up the javelin..

At that level, you can't catch it with an arrow. As the magic was bleeding from the nose at this very moment, a spell interference battle was taking place, so this was the best choice to get rid of that unknown element of anxiety..

Kills in one blow. With such determination, the javelin, which was thrown with careful consideration of speed and position, flew precisely towards the head of the human knight, creating a sound of tearing the air..

-Kyaang!

And it bounced away with an impossible metallic sound..

He was obviously running without using anything, but in the blink of an eye, he noticed an unidentified knight wearing a helmet. The commander's eyes widened, but faster than the sight of something unknown coming from the knight's waist at breakneck speed..

"Wow!"

In response to the threat of death that I had felt for the first time in a long time, an unidentified projectile that would have pierced the commander's head if he had not avoided it with all his might, not paying attention to the strain on his body, shattered one of the horns on the side of the commander's head and flew off somewhere..

But there was no time for relief.

"Commander!"

"I am OK! Stop the humans! That's...wait, magic power.?"

Intense reverberation of magic power.

It was shocking enough to stop the thinking of not only the commander, but also some wizards who were able to take a short break and warriors who had reached a certain level..

"Oh, commander! This!"

In a shock so strong that it overshadowed even the tension of the battlefield, the commander understood what his subordinate was trying to say and shouted at the top of his voice..

"It's Eldemia! That human is ‘Little Eldmia’! Let your inner self know! It's an emergency!"

A human race that caused chaos by detonating a magic bomb inside Itisel and destroyed all plans to seize the empire's star and cut off rear support..

As a result, the Demon King's army had to watch as one of the magic divisions mobilized to create magic bombs was destroyed and the special forces members who had managed to infiltrate the empire after years of effort were disintegrated in the air..

"The battering ram is not important! Side door! side door..."

The commander, who was trying to give an order to stop Eldmia from crossing the battlefield and jumping over the moat to reach the castle walls in an instant, was speechless. He only hesitated for a moment, but before he knew it, he had completely crossed his battlefield, crossed the moat, and reached the castle walls..

In a split second that lasted only a few seconds, a million guesses swirled through the commander's mind, and his brain came up with all sorts of ways to respond, but Eldmia's next action after arriving at the castle wall made all of those actions useless, giving the commander no control. gave me countless anger.

"Damn it, where on earth did the human race get a bastard like that?!"

As if it was so natural.

The monster started running up the castle wall..

◈

When the javelin suddenly flew, a chill went down my spine..

In fact, it was the first time since the madman who attacked the Academy in the Empire that an attack was so fast that it was difficult to predict and react in advance. The attack from our single-minded elf blacksmith was harsh, but it was manageable since it was tailored to me for sparring..

For a moment, I wondered if I should slow down and avoid it, but in the end, I chose to trust the earring helmet and move forward..

Even now, when he is running with all his might, he predicts the speed and distance and throws the spear precisely at the head. Even if I slowed down here and avoided it, it was clear that the only thing that would follow was the fantastic javelin show he was putting on and the rain of arrows..

Fortunately, the helmet not only performed its role perfectly, but also provided confidence in its performance. To be honest, I even considered losing direction for a moment due to the impact, but the javelin deflected off the helmet, leaving only a very light impact and noise..

When we say that performance is beautiful, we are talking about this. Thanks to this, I was able to find the time to check who had thrown the javelin at me, so I invested my magic power and fired a bamboo needle at the guy..

I didn't really expect him to die because of that. He's the one who gave me a threatening attack, so he'd be more likely to avoid my attack..

The needle is just a way to buy time. Whether he avoided it or was unluckily hit and injured, all I had to do was take advantage of the gap and approach the castle wall. The sound of something being smashed on the castle wall followed by their shouting, but perhaps because I was so tense and focused on running, I couldn't hear it well..

The only thing I heard was my name? It seems like my notoriety has spread quickly..

Although it was threatening information to me, it was a good sign in terms of operations. It also meant that they could no longer just ignore me running up the castle wall. Sure enough, as soon as I started running through the needle and up the castle wall, countless arrows were aimed at me..

Unlike when running on the battlefield, the arrows raining down on my head were threatening, but it was at a level that I could easily deal with. Thanks to this, I was able to climb up the castle wall and ride much more smoothly than when I was running on the battlefield, piercing the head of the demon who was aiming his bow while looking straight at my face with a needle..

"Bow down!!"

At the same time, a javelin flew in with a shout that clearly was not addressed to me. This time, I was able to deal with it without difficulty because I had guessed that there would be an attack the moment I landed on the castle wall, but I couldn't help but be surprised once more as I pulled out my ax and blocked the javelin..

It is so heavy that it cannot even be compared to the javelin thrown by knights in the West. It's hard to believe that there was almost no impact even though I was hit by an attack like this while wearing a helmet. I was quite surprised at the fact that it would have been less shocking if I had just thrown it away like before instead of blocking it with an axe, and as I looked towards the end of the wall, I saw a demon with one of its horns shattered beyond the demons who were looking at me with great tension and drawing their weapons..

That's the commander. After coming this far, I can definitely feel its unrivaled magical power compared to other demons..

-profit!

Since it wasn't a duel, it was definitely a war, so I didn't bother to introduce myself. Anyway, it felt like they knew me..

Those who will live on their own will live, and those who will die will die. When I suddenly whistle, the needle pierces the heads of the guys who can't accept the situation and show their doubts..

The demons shooting arrows from the castle wall were relatively small, so they did not respond properly and five or six of them died or fell down the castle wall in an instant, and bewilderment and fear spread across the faces of the surviving soldiers. And half noticed this and started running towards me with his face distorted..

"Keep the battlefield in check! I'm the one...!"

-...Listen!! It's time to get fucked.!!

At the same time, I heard Lanje's shout ringing out on the battlefield, announcing the assault of the battering ram unit.,

I threw the ax with all my might at the half-horned monster who appeared to be the commander..
