◈ 188. [STAGE 7] All right on the southern front (4)
Lucas and Evangeline were just waiting on top of the castle wall throughout the defense.
It was not a situation to go out and fight, and it was because there was no enemy who walked in hand-to-hand combat. So, the power was fully stocked up.
All right! All right! All right-!
The two knights on horseback rushed forward like chariots.
The firepower of the Salamander Corps was concentrated on the two who jumped out of the gate.
However, the first bombardment was completely offset by Reina’s screeching of a tornado.
“I don’t like that wizard officer, personally, but… … .”
Lucas sighed as he glanced toward the castle wall.
“Your skills are certain.”
“If they were even halfway through their skills, they kicked them out a long time ago! What!”
Evangeline took the lead on her horse.
The normal Salamanders continued to spray fire, but Evangeline raised her shield and blocked them all.
Running right behind him, Lucas sprayed his sword left and right.
Pucak! Tsukak!
All the Salamanders in the path of the two knights were split in half, spattering blood.
In no time, it approached the nearest Giant Salamander.
The Giant Salamander slowly turned its body, the size of a house, and aimed its flame muzzle at the two.
Lucas and Evangeline split left and right at the same time as if they had promised.
Perbung! Pervert!
A fireball fell where the two knights had been before.
However, the two knights had already spread out and were burrowing under the giant salamander’s gigantic body.
“Huh-!”
Lucas’s [Strike of Will] pierced the sword, making the sword shine,
“Eurasshaaaaa!”
Evangeline stabbed the accumulated damage on her shield through the window with [Damage Payback].
The thick legs of the Giant Salamander were blown off one by one by Lucas’s sword strike and Evangeline’s spear.
The Giant Salamander let out a dull scream and twisted its body.
The head that had been raised high came down. The two knights who caught the prey had their eyes shining at the same time.
“going-!”
Taat!
Evangeline rode her horse to the Giant Salamander’s neck, put on the saddle and sprang up like a squirrel.
It was an unbelievable move for wearing heavy armor.
At Evangeline, the Giant Salamander tried to breathe fire from her mouth, but
“I don’t breathe fire… … Maseyot!”
Evangeline slammed the monster’s head down with her shield. bang!
The shock caused the Giant Salamander’s head to fall even further. Down enough to touch his horse running Lucas’s sword.
Flash-!
Lucas’s sword emitted a brilliant light.
In addition to skill 1 [Strike of Will], he added the unique ability of the newly acquired sword [Karma Eater] to generate sword energy.
There is no way to survive this attack.
Truly deadly!
Denggung-!
Lucas’ powerful sword strike from below slashed the Giant Salamander’s neck cleanly.
The monster’s huge body collapsed to the floor, pouring blood like lava.
“Once, one guy.”
Evangeline thuds next to Lucas, who was muttering as he brushed off the blood on his sword! She landed with a sound.
“Good start!”
“There are four left. Don’t be alarmed and let’s go.”
The two knights mounted their horses again and rode off to the next Giant Salamander.
The battle continued, and it was when Lucas and Evangeline defeated the third Giant Salamander.
Purrung!
Evangeline’s horse was visibly tired. When her words didn’t move properly, Evangeline panicked.
“what? why is he like this Where are you hurt?”
Evangeline, who was watching the horse, patted herself on the forehead.
“Oops! The armor was too heavy… … !”
The [Golem Armor] worn by Evangeline gained tremendous defensive power, but also possessed tremendous weight.
In addition, since he even performed acrobatics by jumping from the saddle while wearing such armor, even the strongest warhorse had a limit to withstand.
‘If I’m going to ride a horse, I should have worn light armor!’
Why do you always make such small mistakes? Evangeline ran her hand through the mane of her panting horse.
Thanks to Marherita’s shield, the horse didn’t get burned, but the field was a sea of fire anyway.
Hero characters who were superhuman were not affected much, but it was natural that ordinary war horses would get tired more easily.
“What? I can’t fight like before.”
“I can’t help it. After returning to the castle, again… … .”
Lucas stopped talking. It was because a bombardment of fireballs was raining down on his head.
“Oops, break away!”
Lucas, who instinctively drove his horse out of the bombardment’s trajectory, hesitated.
Evangeline, who was trying to escape from the bombing site following her, was too slow. Her words didn’t move properly.

A fireball bombardment fell on it without a second hand.
Quguaguagwang-!
“Evangeline!”
Lucas shouted in front of the thick smoke.
Moments later, Evangeline’s voice was heard coughing in the black smoke.
“I am… … I’m fine… … .”
Although Evangeline was directly hit by the fireball, Evangeline was not seriously injured. Her armor and shield were charred to the extent.
“Ooh, the words… … .”
However, the warhorse, which was swept away by the fireball explosion, died instantly.
Evangeline mourned beside the fallen horse.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .”
“Now is not the time for that!”
Lucas quickly grabbed Evangeline by the neck and put her on his back before leaving the area.
The fireballs that fell in succession caused an ignorant explosion.
“Since you lost your mobility, it’s time to move quickly! It has to be done as quickly as possible!”
However, when diversion became impossible, the targets of the monsters were concentrated. Bombardment continued to pour down on the horse Lucas and Evangeline were riding together.
As they approached the fourth Giant Salamander, Lucas’s horse was eventually swept away and knocked down by the bombardment.
hee hee hee!
“What?!”
“Wow!”
The two knights who fell off their horses quickly pulled themselves together. However, sparks continued to fly from all directions.
pop! Pervert!
Evangeline raised her shield forward to block a direct hit from the fireball, and Lucas swung her sword to parry the small attack.
The two of them were just being beaten by the flames, tied to their place.
‘Was it a mistake that only the two of us came out in the first place?’
Lucas bit his lip softly in the sea of fire.
In the previous battles, he was confident in his own strength.
He decided that it was a situation that he and Evangeline could solve.
Let’s take the other soldiers out for no reason and cause unnecessary sacrifice, let’s do it together as the best knights. That’s what I was thinking.
But was it not? Was it a reckless operation?
‘If there was a master, what kind of strategy would he have instructed?’
Ash’s face flickered before his eyes. He missed his confident smile, which always gave him the best instructions.
‘No, because of that!’
Lucas gritted it.
Ash said he trusted Lucas and left it to him. He said only Lucas, and no one else, could do the Commander’s job.
We must repay that trust.
Lucas gripped his sword tightly. It was then.
Shoot ah-!
A blue wave shot out from the wall and hit the face of the fourth Giant Salamander.
boooooo!
The monster, which was about to fire its bombardment at Lucas and Evangeline, screamed and twisted its body.
I was surprised and looked towards the castle wall. It was Junior. Junior, who squeezed out the last of his strength and fired the magic, collapsed to the floor.
“Now!”
In an instant, the bombardment loosened, and Lucas and Evangeline sprinted forward with all their might.
When the approach was successful, it was an instant after that. Lucas and Evangeline cut down the fourth Giant Salamander in one fell swoop.
thud… … !
Lucas and Evangeline gasped for breath next to the massive corpse of the tumbling monster.
“Is there one left?”
“Yeah, I just need to catch him… … .”
The last Giant Salamander was particularly distant. About 50 of the remaining normal Salamanders were also gathered together.
I couldn’t go in there without saying a word. Lucas wiped the sweat and soot from his chin with the back of his hand and clicked his tongue.
‘How should I get rid of it… … ?’
***
Same time, on the wall.
“Um… … .”
Damian was worried.
It was while looking down at the magic gun [Black Queen] in her hand.
‘The prince told me to only shoot three shots from this gun.’
The reason was not given, but Ash insisted that he not shoot more than three shots at the Black Queen.
I don’t know why they suddenly put restrictions on weapons they’ve been using well, but if it’s Ash’s words, you have to follow them unconditionally.
So I had only fired two shots earlier and saved the last one.
“… … .”
Damian looked at the battlefield again. Lucas and Evangeline were seen missing his warhorse and isolated in a sea of fire.
Eventually, Damian made up his mind and nodded.
‘Let’s shoot the last shot here.’
Holding the Black Queen and taking an aiming stance, Damian aimed the giant salamander at the point of his gun, then stopped.
Ash said only three shots, not three kills.
Hitting as many enemies as you can with one more shot will make the rest of the fight easier.
‘Align the oblique lines well… … To fit as much of one foot as possible… … .’
Damian ran to the end of the wall and eventually finished his aim.
After that, inhale once. I pulled the trigger.
Bang-!
The magic bullet was fired with a loud bang.
The magic bullet that flew toward the end of the battlefield accurately pierced the giant salamander’s eyes and through the head, then pierced and killed two more normal salamanders standing around it.
Kugu Palace… … !
The last Giant Salamander collapsed, spitting out flames.
“Whew.”
Seeing this, Damian was relieved.
With this, the defense battle was also overturned… … .
“… … huh?”
Then Damian noticed something odd.
A black aura was emanating from the horse gun Black Queen’s magic core. like smoke… … .
“ship… … Hungry… … .》
It sounded like something was being heard.
‘what?’
When I rubbed my tired eyes and looked down at the horse gun again, the Black Queen was the same. It was as smooth and beautiful as usual.
‘… … Did I use my eyes a lot today to see anything wrong?’
Damian tilted his head and wrapped the Black Queen around his shoulder again.
When Damian’s eyes didn’t reach him, a black aura began to emanate from the Black Queen’s magic core again.
It was an ominous color, like midnight darkness.
***
Kugu Palace… … !
Damien’s support shot knocks down the last Giant Salamander.
Lucas and Evangeline took down the remaining regular Salamanders one by one.
Ordinary soldiers also opened the gates and came out to help with this process.
After killing all the monsters and putting out the fires all over the field, the sun was already setting. The defense took a full day.
Returning inside the castle walls, Lucas suddenly felt very tired.
As soon as Evangeline returned, she leaned against the wall and began to doze off.
“You’ve worked hard, Deputy Commander.”
Reina, who was in charge of cleaning up the battle, smiled at Lucas.
“I must admit my bravery. However, it won’t last long that way. Because you only have one life.”
“… … .”
Lucas agreed. Today’s battle definitely felt more clumsy than usual.
In conclusion, it was done safely, but the process was dangerous and lax.
Above all, Lucas himself, who gave the instructions, was unsure.
After all, the wires here needed Ash.
‘Lord… … .’
Lucas murmured to himself while examining the bodies of the party members who were all over the castle wall exhausted.
‘Please come back soon… … .’
