The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 214
Prophecy (5)
It was I who thought complacently.
Even if it was an unexpected attack, they had already allowed several attacks and had not yet revealed all of their hidden weapons.
From the futilely lost troops of Oman to half of the supplies… … .
Even if there are no more hidden schemes, it means that enough damage has already been done!
“Your Majesty. Although it is small in scale, if we continue to leave it alone, the damage will spread uncontrollably, like a drizzle soaking the hem of a garment. Our troops have not even reached the first wall yet.”
“… … .”
“… … Make a decision quickly.”
Cadduk-
The peacock looked at the castle walls with murderous eyes.
But he already had only one choice.
“Take that fortress as quickly as possible. Deploy them.”
“All right.”
“I will not delay any longer.”
* * *
Buck! Buck! Buck!
“Break through! Break through somehow!”
Abigyuhuan, who has nothing left but instinct.
Is there a better word to describe this situation?
“Shoot!”
Phew pew pew!
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Hey, don’t push!”
“They’re climbing the walls! Hold them back!”
Phew!
“Cough!”
Kwajik!
Death would strike me as soon as I closed my eyes and opened them again, and the slightest letdown would be pierced by enemy arrows.
“Lord, I don’t want to die… … .”
“Don’t back down!”
Crunch-!
“Huh!”
“Anyone who retreats will be killed! Advance!”
In that situation, all they could do was follow their instincts and move forward.
“… … Tsk, they’re flocking in here so annoyingly.”
The commander who was coordinating the situation on the wall stuck out his tongue.
“How long has it been since the battle started?”
“Yes, the battle has been going on for over two hours already.”
“And yet there is no sign of it diminishing… … .”
There were quite a few corpses piled up under the walls, but even that was only a small amount of bloodshed for the remaining troops.
“But it is just a meaningless death.”
But there was not the slightest hint of defeat or weariness on the faces of Esteban’s soldiers.
“You won’t win if you just rush in. Rather, as long as this wall exists, not a single one of you will be able to get past here.”
Even the most powerful human wave tactics can be overcome if you have overwhelming weapons.
I was filled with such confidence.
Saaaaak-!
“……hmm?”
At that moment, one soldier narrowed his eyes as he noticed something strange.
Some movement began to be detected from the bottom of the wall.
and.
“That, that is… … !”
The soldier’s eyes shook greatly when he first sensed this.
“Oh no! Some of their troops are climbing over the walls!”
“what?!”
“Oh my, you’re so fast!”
“… … !”
The commander hurriedly looked down the wall.
There, hundreds of figures could be seen climbing quickly, seemingly under the influence of magic.
But that wasn’t the only reason for the confusion.
Arrows piercing my entire body.
A body without a single holy place.
Empty, unfocused eyes.
“This is inhumane!”
The corpses that had been piled up in a miserable state began to move at some point.
Soon, as if he were alive, he slowly raised his body and began to climb up the wall!
‘Are you saying that there is no such thing as morality among those guys?’
The soldiers were shocked at the miserable sight. But they only bit their lips for a moment.

“We have to take them down before they reach the walls!”
“yes!”
“Some of you should inform the Marquis and the priests of this fact and ask for their support!”
Looking at the corpses that had already turned into ghosts, the commander quickly gave an order.
Phew pew pew-!
Arrows aimed at the enemy were aimed at the corpses. And they fell, unable to withstand the hail of arrows flying towards them.
Even if they were an undead with no life, if they lost their physical abilities, it was natural that they would not be able to move.
However, the corpses that were already under the influence of acceleration magic had already reached the soldiers’ immediate vicinity.
It was the situation that those who sent the body had been hoping for.
“Hahahahahahaha! This is the power of our warlocks who have sharpened the blade of vengeance!”
Wooooow-!
With a loud resonating sound, the corpses began to turn into a dark fog.
Soon, the fog surrounding the castle walls began to gather and form a magic circle.
“… … !”
The evil spirit has become so thick that it is visible to the eye.
“That’s it!”
It was at that moment that the priests waiting far behind sensed the change.
Kookookookookung!
And the black energy condensed within the magic circle spread out.
Their magic was finally completed and covered the area around the castle walls!
“Kwaaak!”
“Ugh, my body… …!”
dump-
It was as if bugs were eating my insides!
The soldiers around the wall sank to their seats.
And the same goes for the Federal Empire’s troops who were climbing the ladder.
“Ugh!”
Iron fist!
“Kwaaah!”
Those under the influence of the black energy were no exception, whether enemy or ally.
It was literally an indiscriminate attack.
“Ugh! I never thought they would throw out their own soldiers as bait!”
The first wall was paralyzed in an instant.
Meanwhile, the fog continued to expand its area.
“Support from the priests!”
“Well, it looks like that’s not possible right now!”
If we continue like this, the damage will only get worse!
“Damn it! Soldiers who can move, abandon the first wall and fall back! Hurry up!”
Eventually, the commander in charge of the first wall decided to withdraw his troops. However, the Federal Empire did not miss the opportunity that was finally given to them.
“Where!”
Crunch-!
“Cough!”
Soldiers falling to the blades swinging in the fog.
Before we knew it, the enemy knights had climbed over the walls and were beginning to impede our retreat.
Soon, enemy knights who had cleared the front line appeared.
“Are you trying to destroy the trap I set with great effort?”
“… … !”
A shape that looks like a dragon flying.
Their golden armor, contrasting with the darkness, covered their entire bodies.
Their appearance was reminiscent of the Knights of the Sun of Esteban, but the commander knew their true identity.
“Oh! This is the Golden Dragon Order, a knight order directly under the Emperor of the Federation Empire!”
They were hiding among the troops, waiting for an opportunity, and took advantage of the confusion to take control of the top of the wall!
* * *
One hundred and fifty knights who had penetrated the darkness finally took control of the top of the castle walls.
But somehow, their bodies were completely fine despite being under the influence of black magic.
If it was natural, then it was natural.
Because the energy flowing through their bodies now has the same nature as the power that has taken control of this place.
“Captain.”
chuck-
The knights who had dealt with the soldiers gathered in one place as if they had made a promise.
“Okay, they’re giving up the first wall and falling back.”
“Okay. Now, what should I do?”
“The objective has been accomplished, but we can’t just sit back and watch. We need to finish cleaning up the ones who are running away so that the main force can move more easily.”
“insect!”
Pot-!
The commander of the knights who had gathered them gave instructions.
Then the knights scattered in all directions and began to search for their target.
“Tsk.”
The knight commander, who was looking at the sight, clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it.
Soo-wook-!
“… … !”
At that moment, a murderous intent was cast upon his head, which was left alone.
A presence so subtle that you might not notice it until you approach!
Kwajik!
“Huh!”
Even though he quickly turned his head to avoid it, his helmet was crumpled by the impact.
“what…….”
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.”
“… … You!”
The eyelids of the knight commander hidden behind the helmet fluttered.
It was because the sight of him slowly retrieving his sword and measuring the distance felt somehow familiar.
“That golden armor… … I see, the Knights of the Sun were here!”
“It is an honor to know you. I am Roder Calver, Vice-Captain of the Second Order of the Royal Knights.”
“Hahahaha!”
Suddenly, the commander of the Hwangryongdae Knights burst into laughter.
“… … You look happy.”
“That’s a given.”
Roder’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t seem to care.
“I said something was strange. I couldn’t see you guys who were supposed to be with the King. I thought you were hiding in a place like this.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“In other words, it means that you, the kingdom’s most elite troops, have a reason to give up your attack and defend this place.”
In other words, it means that if we didn’t do something like this, there would be no way to stop the large force.
Yes. Likewise, now that the first wall has been breached… … .
“If we deal with you alone, this fortress will be no better than a crippled city that has lost all its weapons.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know what you were thinking, but I applaud your surprise attack and your bravery in showing up here.”
Sling-
A golden sword was pulled out from his waist.
At the same time, the corners of the mouth of the knight commander hidden behind the helmet went up.
“I wonder what it would be like in a frontal attack.”
fault-!
Swish!
The sound of the ground being kicked was heard at the same time as the sword was swung.
visor!!
“… … !”
But Roder managed to react and block it.
And what was surprising was that it was the attackers who were actually attacked.
“Ma, you blocked it? This blow?”
“… … .”
The opponent was pushed back two steps by the recoil, but it was only to correct his posture.
Instead, it was he who felt his hands go numb. He had clearly lost the fight.
“Why? If you had killed us, wouldn’t everything have ended?”
“… … .”
The knight commander’s veins stood out in the noise.
“Coincidences only happen once. So how about this!”
Swaaaaaaah!
Chaechang!
visor!
Roder reacted calmly to the subsequent attacks.
It was indeed the stamina of the vice-captain of the so-called strongest Sun Knights.
“… … Huh.”
On the other hand, it was the Knight Commander who was becoming increasingly impatient as he was unable to land a single attack.
Buck! Buck!
‘Why, why?’
visor!
‘How are you blocking my attacks!’
The opponent will most likely feel the agonizing pain of his body being eaten away by this black magic.
Even though he was the vice-captain of the Sun Knights, he had taken the pill.
It was clear that the advantageous side had already been decided!
‘But there’s no way to stop him… … .’
……uh?
At that moment, the commander of the Hwangryongdae Knights felt something strange and stopped.
Then the other person asked with an emotionless gaze.
“Why? Is something strange?”
“… … .”
“Of course.”
puck!
Crunch!
“Cough!”
A shoulder strike that hits the chest in an instant.
And the Knight Commander had no choice but to allow the next blow to be struck while his arm was pushed away.
Chaenggrang!
Degurururur-
The pitch flew away due to the impact.
Roder looked at the revealed face and grumbled.
“It’s because the ‘pill’ that was supposed to strengthen the body isn’t working properly.”
“Ah, how could you know about the existence of the pill… …!”
The Knight Commander’s pupils shook.
The pill’s presence was designed to be easily concealed.
Even if they killed Duke Luke and the Warlock, it was impossible to find out which pills had already been absorbed into their bodies!
But that didn’t matter now.
‘The pill doesn’t work! Why?!’
I groped around hurriedly.
But there was nothing unusual.
However, it was the same as usual, to the point that even I couldn’t understand it.
At that moment.
Hooooooooooo!
The Knight Commander’s expression turned pale at the sudden flow of magical power.
“Oh, oh my god! What the hell!”
Even in the heart that is beating hard. And in the air that touches the skin on your face.
As if my soul was being sucked into something.
The aura of black magic was gradually fading away.
“Wh, what kind of trick did you use! Could it be that you used the power of the Great Wizard… ?”
“I don’t think I have any obligation to answer. Even if you are a guest, you are still an uninvited guest.”
“this!”
The Knight Commander hurriedly stood up from his seat to call his men.
But there was no need to wait.
The figures of the members began to appear through the gradually thinning black fog.
“… … !”
If there was a problem, they were already dead corpses.
A hundred or so knights in golden armor.
The man in front of him, the Sun Knights led by Roder, had already killed all the members of the Hwangryongdae.
Phew!
“… … !”
In their hands were objects that felt unfamiliar.
It was the very thing that took away their power.
“Sir, could that be… … .”
Only then did the Knight Commander understand the situation.
What if they knew about the existence of the pill, the Federal Empire’s hidden trump card?
And if they were just waiting to use this to wipe out all the pill users… … !
“Ahem! I almost fell asleep while waiting.”
“… … !”
And as if to break my thoughts, a rough voice was heard from behind me.
The Knight Commander turned his stiff neck and looked there.
“Oh, my God… … .”
“Didn’t humans almost overrun the first wall that the clan had built?”
There was a dwarf there, carrying a hammer on his shoulder.
Also, there was a black machine that was overwhelmingly larger than that.
Dozens.
No, hundreds of times.
Those things, so big that it was difficult to even look up, were falling down the wall.
