I can see emperor stats-Chapter 42
first encounter
From the moment Julius stepped out with sincerity, the situation at the castle wall completely changed.
Nuada looked at the battlefield with an absurd expression.
“No, why is there a warrior of that level in such a remote place?”
The one he was looking at was Julius. There is no other way to describe his performance other than dazzling.
shhhh.
“Ouch.”
It's not like he's doing something with a broom, but whenever the blue sword light flashes on the wall, his warriors fall down one by one.
The warriors he sent out now were excellent warriors selected from among the tribes allied with him, but they could not even collide with the opponent for a few seconds and collapsed screaming.
It would be difficult to sort things out faster than that unless he took the initiative himself.
'I'll have to stop it.'
Nuada picked up another spear.
“Hoo-wook.”
It's different from before. His whole body muscles tensed up and a groan came out. Nuada throws his spear with almost full force this time.
Wow!
This time, it's not just a javelin, but a bolt of lightning that contains his mighty power is pierced over the wall.
The goal, of course, is Julius, who is sweeping his warriors from the castle walls!
'Are you still here?'
Feeling a creepy presence, Julius turned around and swung his sword again to face the javelin.
Quaang!
An explosion erupts, and this time Julius is pushed back.
He groaned and waved the hand holding the sword.
'Still, the power to break the enemy is really ignorant.'
I didn't hit it head-on, I only slightly twisted the trajectory, but the hand that hit the javelin was tingling.
'It could have been dangerous if I hadn't mastered the Force Blast.'
Nuada's secret is destruction!
The light containing his pure white force has the destructive power to crush everything by reconciling it with a thunderbolt.
On the other hand, Julius' secret skill has power worthy of a superman, but its great advantage is that it is completely invisible.
Its power is inevitably lower than that of Nuada, which is expressed in a form focused on the purpose of destruction.
In a one-hit confrontation, of course, he was pushed out of favor, but Blast solved that shortcoming to some extent.
If you instantaneously raise the output, you can get enough destructive power to shed Nuada's full-strength attack.
'Look at this?'
Tendons spring from Nuada's head.
He hadn't seen a warrior take even one of his blows since he reached this level. His pride is hurt.
“Bring more spears!”
Already, the battlefield was no different from a battle of strength between the two.
Wow!
“Where!”
Julius also went into a defensive posture again.
Quaang!
After that, Nuada continued to target Julius with a javelin with all his might, and he blocked those attacks.
This long-distance confrontation continued for about ten minutes.
Of course, Julius did not forget to support the knights at the same time as receiving the javelin.
Fuck!
“Aagh!”
Seeing another warrior fall off the wall, Nuada clicks her tongue.
“Tsk!”
He had no choice but to make a choice after seeing his opponent for the first time in his life.
“Retreat!”
Finally he chooses to back down. The reason he came to the rear anyway is to avoid an all-out war with the strangers. If his tribe suffers great damage here, it will be a turn of events.
“Don’t bother chasing after me!”
Julius was also tolerant of picking up the wounded and taking them back, as his goal was not to annihilate them.
He climbs to the watchtower of the castle wall and stares at Nuada in silence.
'Finally we met again.'
Nuada just glared at the grinning Julius with a displeased expression, probably feeling that Nuada was making fun of him.
“Check the damage!”
It was important for Nuada to check the damage of the warriors.
Ordinary tribesmen are also important, but in order to survive in the deep mountains, outstanding warriors should not die here.
And he can't help but be a little surprised.
“The damage was unexpectedly minor?”
The opponent was quite elite. And on the other side, there is a warrior-class strongman who is presumed to be of the same level as himself. Even so, few warriors died.
'What are you aiming for?'
In particular, most of the warriors that Julius threw out of the wall did not die. There are not too many people with serious injuries, except for cases where, unfortunately, they broke their necks at the landing.
It's the same that Julius didn't suffer much damage either.
"It's thanks to His Highness the Prince's performance."
“I couldn’t have imagined that there would be such a strong opponent on the other side.”
The northern knights, including Linfield, looked at Julius with subtle respect.
'I knew you were hiding your skills to some extent, but I never thought it would be this much.'
They also saw many other things besides his military leadership ability while traveling with Julius for over a year.
“They say that Mujae is excellent, so what a great performance!”
"He's as good as his strategy!"
On the other hand, Julius is calmly immersed in his thoughts without showing any sign of boasting.
'It's a golden opportunity, but it takes a battle for the first encounter with them?'
Once they met as enemies, even if they had the situation in their hands, it would not be without damage on the other side.
‘Nuada is a wise monarch. If I explain well, they will understand.'
Finishing his thoughts, Julius looked around at the knights around him.
“I have a request for you personally!”
“You mean a favor?”
The prince is their superior. If you give an order, of course you should listen, so why emphasize a request?
“From now on, I'm going to follow them into the northern mountains! I want you to come with me.”
'Will they really follow me?'
Julius wasn't sure. Marquis Andersson's order was to secure the rear.
No matter how much he was a prince, he was violating the order given by the commander-in-chief of the north!
However, the reason why he dared to use the expression "request" was because it was something that had to be done even if the knights objected.
'I met Nuada by luck. I must capture him here!'
“Foot!”
But the knights burst into laughter. Was it because his request was too absurd?
"hmm?"
“Your Highness the Prince!”
Looking at the puzzled Julius, Linfield speaks up as the representative.
“There is nothing to ask for. Isn't everyone like that?"
"of course!"
The knights all shout loudly.
“We are already faithful knights of His Highness.”
“If it's what Your Highness is doing, it must be absolutely necessary!”
They had already been together with Julius for over a year, fighting in the field.
'When I was injured as a knight, he personally bandaged me!'
'If Your Highness hadn't saved me in the melee, I would have run away from the swords of the barbarians.'
Linfield speaks again.
“His Highness the Prince is already the same as the lord of all of us. Just give me orders!”
'The past year of searching for Nuada wasn't meaningless at all.'
Julius also swept the knights once with an emotional expression.
He obtained these faithful knights in the north not because he was the emperor, but because of his pure ability.
“If you do, I will give you an order!”
Julius raised his sword with a determined expression.
“We pursue those aliens and enter the mountains. It's likely to be a dangerous mission, so prepare well!”
"All right!"
"really! The purpose won't be told until we arrive? It will be a surprise to go and check it out!”
"ha ha ha!!"
All the knights burst into laughter at Julius' joke, which eases the spleen atmosphere.
But at this moment, they were all looking at him with firm trust.
“What would you like me to do now?”
Even in Nuada's tent, which had retreated, a meeting was in full swing with the tribal chiefs who followed him.
“It honestly seems impossible to break the defenses of those strangers.”
It was Nuada's honest evaluation.
The number of elite warriors is almost equal. The problem is that if it was a plain, it would still be worth sticking around, but the other side was along the wall. Above all, the problem is... … .
"I'm not sure, but there's someone who looks like a great warrior over there."
"that?"
The faces of the other tribal chiefs turn pale. The reason why they follow Nuada is that he is surprisingly wise for a young age, but the decisive reason is his overwhelming power.
“Could it be that the chief of the Gentiles is there?”
“I don’t think so.”
Nuada shook her head. He himself had heard rumors about Marquis Andersson, a superman with a devilish reputation among northern immigrants.
However, the Julius he looked at today was a blue-eyed youngster who looked younger than himself.
“But it is clear that there is no point in attacking like this!”
“Then what should I do? You'll have to follow Gundar's words for now.”
Nuada shook her head.
“You don't have to. Let's just go inside the mountain range and observe the situation for a while.”
“But then?”
“There are two great warriors on the outsider's side! No matter how brilliant Gundar, who claims to be the warchief, can fight both of them at the same time?”
“That sure is.”
The old chief who spoke out also trembled again.
In fact, he has met many spirit beasts while spending his entire life in the mountains, but the fight between the warriors he saw today is beyond his imagination.
Not only for them, but also for ordinary continents, the word that expresses superhumans is literally a one-man army!
Certainly, Nuada's claim had some truth.
'Although the unidentified forces behind Gundar are bothering me.'
Nuada decided to think carefully about that part.
Anyway, from his point of view, there seems to be no way to defeat the strangers under the mountain range unless Gundar recruits a new warrior-level force.
'If both sides collide and losses occur, then it will not be too late for me to intervene.'
He was also a man full of ambition with the desire to become the loser of the North. It was because, in his eyes, Gundar was not a vessel for the warchief, as was the unpleasant background.
"Now that we've made our decision, let's go back quickly."
They are more familiar with the topography of these mountains than anyone else. They quickly tear down the tent and begin to return to their nest in the deepest part of the mountain range.
'uh? Isn't this?'
As soon as Julius hears that the barbarians are hastily withdrawing, he immediately prepares to sortie his troops.
“You have to follow up quickly. Unless there is an accurate map of the interior of the mountain range, it will be difficult to chase after them once you miss them.”
As far as he knows, Nuada is a man with a strong fighting spirit.
I tried to create an opportunity to propose an alliance by sticking with him a few more times, but unexpectedly they decided to withdraw.
'Well, even in my previous life, I was a person who was quick to judge profits and losses for a foreigner, right?'
Julius had to catch the aliens who were hurriedly withdrawing.
Nuada's tribal union retreating and Julius' detached corps chasing them! It was the beginning of the pursuit for contact.
