I see emperor stats-Chapter 111

article and lore

Doo doo!

The dark avenues leading from the south to the capital were filled with the sound of horses' hooves.

“Looks like we’re almost there.”

“I know.”

Gilbert, the leader of the Golden Lion Knights, was driving his horse while grinding his teeth. The last time he had been defeated by a little girl less than half his own age had given him an indelible disgrace.

'Besides, missing out on the overall championship, I had no face in seeing His Highness the Grand Duke.'

But finally, the opportunity for revenge came. According to the Grand Duke's order, he said that he would engage in a full-fledged power battle with the 1st prince in the capital.

'This time, I have to trample on the first prince's knights.'

As a result of confronting them before, some of the players were definitely great, but the overall quality was still quite superior to the Knights of the Golden Lion.

He promised victory if the knights collided with each other rather than one-on-one. This is because martial arts skills are never developed overnight.

“… … !?”

But before the gates of the capital city could be seen, they had to stop talking. It was because the flag was visible from afar with lights.

“What about that flag?”

Gilbert's face hardened. The flag was the crest of Sharnos the Great, a golden sword crossed with a dragon.

But it wasn't knowing who they were that really made him nervous. Vice-captain Hendricks, who was next to him, also responded in a slightly puzzled tone.

“You put on a red belt.”

"hmm… … .”

In general, putting a band on a flag that symbolizes the Knights Templar had different meanings depending on the color of the band.

White surrenders unconditionally! Green is peace! Yellow is a friendly match that strengthens friendship! And finally, red had the most bloody meaning.

“Are you trying to fight with us in an all-out battle here with the capital right in front of you?”

“There may be some trap.”

As the saying goes, the red belt meant that they would stick together until one of the two knights was annihilated. As the meaning was extreme, it was generally difficult to see unless the opponent was in a situation where the opponent had been drained.

After thinking for a moment, Gilbert gave the order.

“Everyone get off your horses!”

It is unknown what kind of trap the opponent has set in the pitch-black night. If you suddenly fall off your horse, you will become a good target for the enemy's attack, so you need to adjust your line.

'Suhyo seems to be similar. Are you trying to buy time?'

The number of knights on both sides was about a hundred each. Of course, the Golden Lion Knights had a lot of reserve power, but the quality is much higher as they only selected elite members.

'I don't think there are any traps there?'

In the first place, the road leading to the capital was not only well-paved, but also a wide plain. It's not an environment for trickery. However, as much as he had been warned by the Grand Duke before coming, Gilbert had no choice but to be cautious.

“I don't know what tricks the 1st prince did. Run with the goal of joining me as soon as possible.”

'First of all, we must follow His Highness' orders.'

Even as I thought about it, time continued to pass. In the end, Gilbert made a decision.

“Destroy it as quickly as possible. Everyone line up and prepare to charge.”

What he thought was a head-on breakthrough after all. As he is confident in his power, it is a natural choice in a way.

Shih!

The knights of the Golden Lion Order, including Gilbert, began to run towards the flag like a gale.

'It's an all-out war, but you don't have to accept it! If you only break the lead, you can run to the capital even though you may be a little tired.'

He faithfully carried out the Grand Duke's words. But who knew that would be the worst choice for him and the Knights of the Golden Lion?

Swoop.

The knights of the Sharnos Knights did not accept their frontal charge. Rather, they moved aside and let Gilbert and the others pass through their ranks.

And the next moment, they moved in perfect order and surrounded the Golden Lion Knights. The movement was extremely smooth, as if they had matched their hands and feet countless times, but Gilbert put on a puzzled expression.

“… … !?”

Originally, being surrounded was an act that should never be done unless it had overwhelming power over the opponent. On the contrary, the risk of being defeated individually is higher because the forces are distributed.

'Are you really just trying to grab our ankles?'

If that's the case, this side should concentrate the breakthrough power in one place and pierce it. Gilbert drew his sword and charged forward.

bang!

The knight of the Sharnos Knights who received his sword was pushed back. He swings his sword again with the momentum to slash his throat, but two swords block him before he can.

Chaeeng!

'You're bothering me.'

Gilbert clicked his tongue and blew more force into his sword, thinking of taking out the three knights clinging to him at the same time. But this time, too, the intention was wrong.

“Damn it!”

It was because two more knights joined him before he knew it and thrust their swords into him. It was impossible to deal with five people at once, no matter how hard it was.

'Still, while I hold on, the other side's elite will be able to succeed in breaking through.'

Gilbert was one of the best knights in the Empire. The five people were able to withstand the joint attack, and rather maintained a slight advantage.

Chae Chae Chae!

Instantly pouring an onslaught and staggering back the five knights blocking him, he had time to take a look at his surroundings.

But as he looked around, his face turned pale. It was because the scene was completely different from what he expected.

'Can't break through?'

Even though he and other elite members of the Golden Lion Knights fought hard against many knights, there was no hole in the siege.

“How did this happen?”

"I do not know. If you try to break through where the wall of knights is thinning, there will be talented people recruited there like ghosts.”

“Can it be? Their numbers should be similar to ours, but they couldn't afford to surround them so tightly... … .”

The next moment, an explosion broke out, and his words were not followed.

“Hendricks?”

Surprisingly, the vice-captain, Hendrix, was backing away coughing up blood. His breakthrough, aiming for a thin spot in the encirclement, also ended in failure.

Gilbert then sensed that something was wrong and began to look around carefully. After observing for a while, he was able to figure out why.

'I don't know how, but it seems that the siege net itself is alive and moving. In addition, there is little waste in the action of alternating attack and defense in line with each other.'

As he thought, the encirclement of the Sharnos Knights seemed to become one body, and when the encirclement seemed to become thinner, power was replenished in that area again like ghosts.

This sequence of actions is so rapid and rapid that it feels as if the enemy has twice as many. In addition, the knights who made up the siege were constantly moving and not noticing where their main force was.

“Kuhm… … .”

Gilbert has been leading the Golden Lion Knights to battle for over ten years. He groaned when he realized that it was not normal to pull off a siege like this.

'It's a very sophisticated formation. Where the hell did he learn to do this?'

* * *

“The truth?”

“To put it simply in Western Continental style, you can think of it as making the formation a little more detailed.”

Here, Jegal Unhyeon proudly stretched out his chest.

“Fortunately, there are many people who are good at military strategy and tactics, but our Zhuge Sega are less strong in martial arts than other four martial arts.”

After hearing the rough explanation, Julius tilted his head. Could it be possible to fill the gap in power simply by forming formations?

'Read Help'

[Jinbeop-Basically, from Samjae, which means heaven, earth, and human, to Gugung, Geongon, etc… … .]

'What kind of floating cloud is this again.'

It seems to be a method containing some profound (?) reason, but it seems that the help does not provide detailed information.

Ung-ung

[Turn off X-Wiki.]

“… … !?”

The Yellow Dragon Sword seems to be giving me another reproach, but I don't know what this is about either.

'Anyway, that's something unpleasant.'

Smack!

Julius lightly plunged his sword into the mud of the gymnasium and opened his mouth.

“Can you explain in a little more detail what the jinbeom is?”

Jegal Unhyeon readily explained.

“Jinbeop can be divided into two main things. The first is to make sure that we do not interfere with each other when we are doing joint work.”

This method was also the simplest form of jinbeop. When dealing with a minority with a majority, if each other's movements were matched, the effect of passing could be maximized.

“This method probably exists in the West Continent, too, right?”

“When you join the Order of the Knights, you basically learn how to coordinate with each other. But isn’t that just a simple siege?”

"yes! But what I recommend is the second method, though a bit tricky to get used to.”

The second was a way to make the power different according to the completeness of the jinbeop and the members.

“It is to move the rest of the force following the master who becomes the nucleus of the strategy.”

“Is there a difference from the first method?”

“If you train properly, you can raise your strength two or three times depending on the ability of the master who becomes the center. But there are downsides!”

The downside is that it requires an excellent unmanned person to be the core. And if the core collapses, the formation may collapse at once as the formation collapses.

“There is not enough time, and the knights of the western continent are not familiar with the jinbeop. I am going to teach you the basic jinbeop starting from the most basic Samjae.”

“Did you say that the three jae means heaven, earth, and human beings?”

"It's just a symbolic meaning. Since the number three is included, the axis of the formation will be three. In other words, three top masters should be the pillars of the truth.”

“When you say master-level master, it means you have to become a master-level knight.”

"yes. In addition, you have to understand the truth in a short time, so you must have excellent talent.”

It is said to be a basic formation, but it took a lot of practice to decide on an axis and move in perfect order according to it, and it consumed a lot of stamina because I had to constantly change positions.

The group warfare training that the Sharnos Knights had received so far was all to familiarize themselves with the fighting method. And the most important thing was the three axes necessary for the jinbeop.

* * *

“I’m crazy. If I could defeat just one of those three, how would I find a way out?”

After a while, the seasoned Gilbert noticed that the formation revolved around three knights. In fact, those three were working harder than anyone else to maintain the siege.

Gilbert also worked hard to gather the elite and tried to make a hole in the camp, but those three appeared like ghosts to help, and it failed every time.

'These two are the knights I saw at the martial arts meeting. They are strong enough to defeat me and Hendricks. I have to go after the one remaining.'

His eyes turned sharply to one side. it set a goal

"this guy!"

Gilbert quickly closed the distance to his target. As he swung his sword with a vicious gaze, he intended to catch the targeted knight without fail this time.

Chaechaechaeng!

The opponent crossed swords with him a few times, then staggered back as if pushed from strength.

'It's an opportunity!'

Gilbert smiled contemptuously. As expected, one of the three didn't seem to be able to face him. Wasn't the thin layer of knights the greatest weakness of the Sharnos Knights?

But that carelessness led to a fatal mistake. A blue sword light flashed before his eyes as he confidently charged back at his opponent.

slither.

“… … !?”

Surprisingly, like the black ghost of the opponent who thought he had retreated, it broke through Gilbert's attack without a trace and ran through his chest.

Chew!

Gilbert's chest split open and blood splattered.

“Cuck!”

He groaned and had no choice but to step back. His face was also colored with a gloomy light. Since he was badly wounded, he couldn't think of any way to break through this strange formation.

'It's the worst. I can't believe he was a knight with this level of skill.'

Meanwhile, the knight who had seriously injured Gilbert was also sweating.

'It was really dangerous. If I hadn't been vigilant at the end, I would have suffered and the formation would have collapsed.'

His true identity was Keynes.

"are you okay?"

Only then did Beatrice run towards it.

"yep! Squad leader!”

Keynes answered in a disciplined voice. Thanks to her special training, she was beaten so badly by her that now just hearing her voice sent chills down her spine.

“It hasn’t been long since he reached the stage, so if you are in danger, ask for help.”

"All right."

After that, there were several small crises, but Keynes, who was alert, breathed a sigh of relief as he managed to overcome it somehow.

'phew… If it wasn't for the grace of the prince, I would have died several times in this battle.'

In the siege of Jinbeop, the Grand Duke's pride, the Golden Lion Knights, was helplessly collapsing little by little.

* * *

“By the way, I have one question for you… … .”

"what?"

“Doesn’t the lord already have enough power? Why do you gamble while making them learn the truth?”

Jegal Unhyeon's question was natural. It would not be difficult to annihilate the Golden Lion Knights without having to use difficult tactics if the masters of the Zhuge family were mobilized together.

Julius chuckled.

"Just as I didn't know about the jinbeop, you don't know about the knight this time."

“… … !?”

“My knights were defeated by them in the last group battle of Martial Arts. And there are many who blame themselves for being given the undeserved name of Sharnos.”

“You mean revenge for defeat?”

Julius shook his head.

“That is only half correct. The remaining half is my honor as a knight.”

"honor?"

“This time, the Grand Duke will be destroyed anyway. This is their last chance to avenge their defeat. But what would happen to their morale if they entrusted the work with an outside helper?”
