Chapter 527
Episode 144. For Friends (5)
I could feel enemies setting up everywhere. The knights standing guard were constantly reporting the size and dynamics of the enemy and screaming.
“Activate the defense equipment!”
“Helter, draw out your sword!”
“Lopermo supports the rear. Gather!”
Whoa-!
The defense artifacts installed in the Geomhwangseong were activated and vibrated and resonated. The blue shield of the artifact and the pure white sword shield spread by the knights seemed to envelop the entire Geomhwangseong in an instant.
Dante was watching the reinforcements appearing at the front door.
More than 5,000 knights and wizards, and about 20 dragons. And more than four fifty gates of the Yellow Dragon class or higher.
Even though they call it ‘Empire’, they are being pushed back by Runcandel and Zipple, and now they are evaluated as being inferior to Kingelo.
No one denies that Bement is one of the four major powers. Regardless of the quality of troops, the Empire was the only force that could mobilize so many people in a short period of time.
Dante’s eyes looking at the emperor were dark with life.
Even though an army well over 10,000 was besieging Geomwangseong, Dante and Hiran’s knights did not lose their nerve at all.
Since the existence of knights and wizards appeared in the world, human warfare has never been more important than numbers.
In front of a superhuman, average knights of 5 stars or less are no different from fallen leaves, no matter how many there are.
Although Dante was not yet a superhuman, he possessed a sword comparable to that. With the other knights of Hiran, including the Five Swordsmen, it wasn’t difficult to subdue those many average knights.
What matters is the enemy commanders. If he slashed all the knights and wizards who could shake the battlefield alone, he could win even if the numbers were pushed.
And Dante expected that there would be about a hundred such people.
The main body of the imperial army at the main gate was entering the plain.
And among them, there was a huge cannon led by five dragons and a hundred knights.
“Sogaju, that’s… … !”
The main gun of the Imperial Guard.
It was the ‘Dragon Spear’, a war equipment dedicated to the emperor that only existed in the empire. Originally installed in the center of the imperial palace, the cannon had a power comparable to that of Cozek’s ship’s cannon, the decisive battle weapon of Ziffle.
Since it has been removed from the imperial palace, the dragon spear cannot exert its full power.
However, the appearance of the dragon spear meant that the emperor himself had stepped forward.
“Check the dragon spear loading!”
The voices of the knights watching the dragon spear were trembling. It is only a matter of time before it can break through the current defense artifacts of the Geomhwangseong, which are less restored even if only the Yellow Dragon class is captured, but the dragon spear is of a completely different level.
Dante quietly gazed at the back of the dragon spear.
Somewhere across the plain, it seemed as if he could see the emperor sitting in a palanquin waiting for the news of victory with a face wet with greed and arrogance.
“Sogaju! Yongchang soon… … ! Avoid!”
“To them.”
Dante slowly drew his sword.
Chiyiing… … !
The moment Dante’s sword was wrapped in brilliance, the ominous noise of the dragon spear covered the battlefield. A weak earthquake occurred in the entire area, and those who fought moved their gaze toward the dragon spear in an instant.
“I will show you what the dignity of Hailan is.”
Aaaah-!
The dragon spear spewed out a huge magic bullet. The place where the shells landed was exactly on the top of the castle wall where Dante was standing.
The layered shields of the artifact burst like glass.
Those who did not reach the stage were so fast that they could not follow with the eyes, and the cannonballs of the dragon spear seemed to destroy the Geomhwangseong in one blow.
Dante did not dodge.
The moment he swung his sword, the dragon spear’s cannonball approached right in front of him.
King’s Sword Secret
Heavenly Isle – Dante Hylan
The bullets of the dragon spear split in half.
Even the knights standing right next to him were completely unaware of the moment Dante swung his sword.
All he could do was watch the cannonballs split in half follow the trajectory of Dante’s swing of the sword, soar into the sky and dissipate.
And just like the name of Biggie, a long, shining sword left in the sky that started to turn dark.
Everyone on the battlefield looked up at the light for a moment.
The sword of Hiran, which everyone in the empire looked up to, was right there.
For a few seconds, silence passed as if time had stopped. Those on the battlefield could only feel their pulse beating.
Awe.
Recalling the two characters that Hiran symbolizes in the Empire.
Wow-!
The knights gathered under the flag of Hiran shouted in unison. Then, as Dante jumped off the wall and stepped out onto the plain, the approaching enemies hesitated and stopped moving.
“I have no intention of showing mercy to those who have forgotten their honor. So if you’re afraid, run away. Hylan will not pursue those who back down.”
The knights gathered behind Dante.
“Sogaju… … Are you okay?”
The stormtrooper looked at Dante’s face and said. Blood dripped from his blue lips. However, Dante nodded his head rather lightly.
‘Even though it’s a secret skill that my grandfather improved to suit me, it’s gotten to this point with only one use.’
Everyone is in awe, but Dante knew better than anyone else that the real power of the Sky One Island was nothing compared to what he had unfolded.
So close.
It wasn’t the regret of not being able to unleash a better sword, but the fact that he couldn’t devote himself to his grandfather, the knights of Hiran, and his subordinates in this land was a sudden regret.
‘For some reason, my body feels lighter… … .’
Perhaps because he is carrying on his back everything that his ancestors and grandfathers cultivated and protected while preparing for death, Dante has now entered a state of awakening.
Until the end of the war, at the risk of his life, he seemed to be able to keep the best sword he could use.
“First, I will destroy the dragon spear. I will break through to the front, so the stormtroopers follow me.”
At the moment when the knights of Hiran started rushing in, the emperor was being reported on the whole situation in real time from the rear of the battlefield.

“Oh, oh oh… … ! After all, Sir Lorne’s successor, indeed, it’s amazing!”
Standing next to the Emperor was John Cena Ferrell, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army and the leader of the Dragon King Knights of the Imperial Army. Unlike the emperor who was very excited, he had a dark face.
Kevin Ferrell, John Cena Ferrell was the reason the Emperor appointed him as the commander of the Vanguard Army.
It was because he thought that the death of a blood relative was necessary in order to alleviate the guilt of this upright man, the imperial sword.
“You must have just heard the report, Sir John Cena Ferrell. Dante Hiran killed your younger brother and killed even the rank knights who tried to keep his faith in Hilan… … .”
John Cena nodded heavily.
he’s not stupid
The reason why the emperor put his younger brother in the vanguard, the fact that Dante couldn’t have killed the average knights, and how unreasonable this purge was. John Cena never knew.
“Jim definitely gave Hi-Lan a chance. But what has returned is your brother’s betrayal of trust, and if we don’t put an end to it today, that poisoned wolf will plunge the entire empire into death and fear.”
Even so, John Cena following the Emperor is for the Empire, no. It was precisely because it was the way for the people of the empire.
“your majesty.”
“Tell me, Sir John Cena.”
“Keep your promises. Also, make sure they keep their promises… … .”
At that, the Emperor smiled.
“Surely!”
As John Cena stood up and headed for the battlefield, the emperor waved at her back. And as soon as John Cena disappeared, he erased his expression.
Dante and the knights of Hiran were already moving toward the dragon spear with blood all over their bodies. All of that blood belonged to the ordinary knights who threw themselves in their way.
Except for the vanguard, all the knights of the main force believed that Dante had killed the knights who were trying to keep the faith with Hyran.
There was no time to correct misunderstandings and reveal the truth in the midst of brutal and brutal battles.
The hundreds of rescued knights eventually did not survive the rain of swordsmanship and magic. In the new battle that started as soon as the main force arrived, the knights of Hiran couldn’t afford to carry them all. It was because the main unit arrived earlier than expected.
In the eyes of the main body of the emperor’s army, it seemed as if Hiran had indiscriminately slaughtered the vanguard army.
If disobeying the emperor’s order was death, and fighting against Hylan was death, the latter was better. In order to avoid a future in which all of their flesh and blood are executed as traitors later.
Blood and war, that’s what makes madness. The average knights who stood in the way of Dante while facing death with a single sword only chose madness instead of fear.
So did Dante, who was cutting them.
The right way.
The words that summarized the humanity of the character Dante were dyed red and dark.
‘How many cuts have I already made?’
Even at the moment of sudden doubt, Dante’s sword dropped the necks of those who rushed. A feeling of guilt, heavier than blood, was pressing down on her back, but she couldn’t realize it.
As is often the case with those who have been pushed into war.
Dante was naturally replacing that huge guilt with hatred.
‘I can’t turn back now. Me and my family and grandfather never betrayed the Empire. Why do you guys want to stick a knife in us… … !’
Slow-!
When Dante stopped once to catch his breath, the distance to Yongchang was about 500 steps away. Until then, all of the stormtroopers who had followed Dante were unharmed.
But just as they were about to move forward, someone dug into their flank.
“Ouch!”
“Stop!”
It was the golden armor, the Imperial Guard. As soon as they appeared, they cut down two Hiran knights in the rear.
Dante stared blankly at the dead knights of Hiran for a while.
“There is no such thing as a devil, Dante Hiran. Were all the appearances so far faked? I never thought I would be so used to killing innocent people… … Suck!”
Dante leapt at him and thrust his sword. Unfazed, he struck back, but as soon as Dante sped up, his arm was severed.
The knights of the Imperial Guard, who appeared with great vigour, had no choice but to flinch at the scene.
The knight that Dante crippled in just a few seconds was their third leader.
“Shut up. I have nothing to say to trash like you.”
Dante lowered his head and spoke in a cold voice.
“You bastard!”
“Sogaju, we will take care of this place. Go to Longchang!”
Without hesitation, Dante stepped forward, leaving the knights of Hiran behind.
He realized that if he hesitated even a little, the knights of Hiran would die faster.
Also, it seemed that if I continued to cut through those who stood in my way, I would be able to capture the spirit that was on the verge of going crazy.
