Episode 170
star group
Squeak-
It sounded like that.
It sounds as if a sorghum cracker has been infuriated.
But the result was never that monotonous.
Sagnard’s severed right arm was bouncing into the air.
“Well, what is that…” ?”
“Sagnad!”
For a moment, the soldiers who had gathered to help Sagnad turned into blank faces.
That’s because the current scene seemed so unrealistic in their eyes.
Who is Sagnad!
It was one of the ‘Four Claws’ boasted by the Red Lion, which had long considered itself the defense of the eastern region.
He was a legendary being who had been involved in the Red Lion House for a long time, with such outstanding talent that the Margrave personally discovered him growing up as a gangster in the back alleys and studied swordsmanship.
His right arm was cut off?
However, the moment the blood fountain beautifully poured onto the floor, the soldiers were only able to realize the reality.
“Save Sagnad!”
“run! hurry!”
“Stop that guy!”
The knights were the first to hit the floor by raising their magic power to the extreme.
To reach Sagnad as quickly as possible.
The only thing on my mind was that I had to save their leader.
But Elric was already launching his next attack.
His attack power was already rapidly depleting due to the attack from earlier.
Not only did possession consume quite a bit of magical energy, but I also poured so much thought into it while unfolding <Falcon Wings> that I felt dizzy for a moment.
So all I could think about was that I had to defeat Sagnad as quickly as possible. A series of attacks followed.
I rolled my foot hard on the ground and swept the guy’s lower body with my calf.
If <Falcon’s Wings> gave the impression of a hawk spreading its wings wide, <Falcon’s Claws>, performed this time, was reminiscent of the movement of a hawk attempting to glide and snatch its prey.
Chop clap!
It was like a well-chosen report.
Following the leg kick, the return kick toebeop, and even the knee strike.
<Falcon’s Claw>, which was mixed with Gangseojutsu, was too harsh.
Sagnade was just a leaf falling in the autumn wind in front of him. Even if he tried to move backwards as much as possible, the strong wind had already wrapped him around and created a prison from which he could never escape.
Wow!
Squeak-
Thanks to this, the roundhouse kick that cleverly penetrated Sagnad’s blind spot landed on Sagnad’s waist.
There was a sound of something breaking. His spine was shattered and his spine was fractured.
Ugh.
Sagnad vomited blood. The internal organs had also been shattered, so there were pieces of internal organs mixed in the blood.
He raised his magic power to somehow stop Elric. He stretched out his remaining left hand forward, but it was absurdly insufficient to restrain Elric’s movements.
Puff puff puff!
In the end, the chain of attacks completely destroyed Sagnad’s remaining spine and even severed his cervical vertebrae. Sagnade died right there.
“1 min.”
‘Sigh… !’
Elric could feel his magic power emptying out for a moment. Perhaps he had reached his breaking point, but as the possession was lifted, a feeling of helplessness took over his entire body.
However, I thought it was dangerous to fall here, so I braced my hands. The soldiers were already approaching. There was something I needed to take care of before they surrounded me.
Sigh!
With the sharp blade of his hand, he split Sagnad’s torn uvula. Then, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed his head, which was about to fall to the floor, and kicked him into the ground.
“【Soar】.”
Paaaaat!
The last remaining magical power was consumed. Elric’s body became lighter for an instant and soared into the air.
Elric created a series of magic fields in the air like stairs, stepped on them one after another, and jumped as high as he could.
The winter storm was just ending. I could see the barrier being re-created beneath my feet.
“Catch him!”
“Don’t let him escape!”
“We must get Sagnad’s head back!”
Shoo shoo shoo!
Elric ignored the barrage of arrows coming at him, drew a huge parabola, and landed where Isabelle and the Star Wars were.
“Elric… !”
Isabelle let out an exclamation of admiration when she saw Elric like that.
The same goes for other members.
Their eyes were all fixed on Sagnad’s head held in Elric’s left hand.
To jump into a fortress alone and return with only the enemy’s head!
As Isabelle instructed, she tore up the scroll so that Elric could properly enter the fortress.
I couldn’t help but be shocked because I had no idea that this ridiculous operation would really succeed.
Moreover, considering that the opponent was a master-level expert who had completed 4 chains, it was a major that was likely to cause trouble just by becoming known.
but.
The battle is not over yet.

Elric and Isabel’s goal was not just to assassinate the enemy general.
It was to capture the fortress.
“Isabel!”
Elric held back his stumbling and called out to Isabel. Quick-witted Brian quickly came over and helped him up. In a short period of time, he had squeezed out so much energy that his body had no strength at all.
Isabel realized what Elric wanted to say and nodded. She then shouted to the star swarm.
“Everyone prepare to retreat!”
Ate responded to this and began to lead the army with magical power.
“Everyone retreat!”
“Retreat!”
“Retreat!”
Following the officers’ clear orders, the Star Wars army, which was already ready to withdraw at any time, quickly began to retreat.
Their faces were all filled with joy.
bang!
Doo doo doo doo-
At that moment, the gates of the fortress opened wide and a group of cavalry soldiers were seen running towards us.
The goal is to somehow chase down the star group.
They had to somehow restore Sagnad’s supply and catch the Elric who caused this disaster.
but.
This, too, was already predicted in Elric and Isabel’s strategy.
“Please take care of yourself.”
However, if there was a concern, it was that Elric’s magical power consumption was much greater than previously predicted.
Isabelle could not help but look at Elric with a worried face.
However, Elric and Brian had already changed their favorite robes. If you only wear a hood, you won’t be able to tell the two apart from a distance.
From now on, Brian was planning to imitate Elric and lead the chase team with the Star Wars to the place where the ‘trap’ was located.
In the meantime, Elric was planning to quickly replenish his magic power and rob an empty house.
It was a gambling operation that could only be attempted once, but if it was successful, the great prize of Ketline Fortress could be obtained.
“Isabel, be careful too.”
Elric nodded heavily while looking at Isabelle.
Isabelle smiled brightly and began to leave the place like an ebbing tide with the star group.
“I see them running away!”
“Make sure not a single rat escapes!”
“Everyone, spread out and surround them!”
When the pursuing party saw the starry army retreating, they quickly divided into four platoons and dispersed in all directions. The intention was to somehow establish a siege by blocking the retreat route.
“【Cover it】.”
Elric pulled his shadow upward and hid his body in space. Then, the scent of his magic dissipated and he disappeared as if he had never been there.
* * *
Doo doo doo doo!
Isabel glanced behind her as she rode her horse roughly. The cavalrymen were soon seen closing the distance.
Even considering that most of the members who participated in the Star Wars were children of prestigious families and were skilled in horseback riding, their horsemanship skills were surprising.
‘They say you spend more time on a horse than on the land.’
But in fact, I didn’t know that such a thing would be quite natural for the Winds frontier cavalry.
For generations, the eastern frontier has suffered greatly from barbarians who make their home in the canyons and mountainous regions.
Most of them are famous for their outstanding physical strength and strong strength. But what was more terrifying than that was the horsemanship that allowed him to jump around the rough mountain slopes without a care in the world.
Horses from the eastern region, born with the spirit of the Georyong Mountains, have been famous for a long time as an excellent quality product recognized even by the empire. Having to handle such horses, it was natural that the horsemanship of the barbarians also had to be excellent.
Because of this, horseback riding skills had no choice but to develop naturally while dealing with them in the Winds Frontier Province.
In the first place, Isabel didn’t think she would be able to resist their pursuit.
Rather, we must counterattack here.
Cut down as many enemy troops as possible.
That was her goal.
‘From now on, it’s my turn.’
Isabel bit her lower lip.
So far, Elric has proven his worth to the world. And he did something outstanding just a little while ago.
In order to stand next to him, I had to prove my worth as well. This war was just the beginning.
When I thought about it that way, strangely enough, I could feel the tension disappearing as if it had been washed with water.
Instead, cool thinking awoke.
“Brian.”
“yes. Military.”
Military.
Those words lingered on Isabelle’s lips. Her hand holding the reins tightened.
“Play it!”
It meant to change direction.
I couldn’t understand why they suddenly decided to take a detour instead of going straight to their destination after running well, but Brian didn’t complain about Isabelle’s command.
“90 degrees to the left!”
They simply did as they were told and yanked the reins to the side, turning the march’s path to the side.
At the moment when the members following them also changed direction, raising a cloud of dust, another cavalry corps suddenly came out from the edge of the forest.
There were people who were lurking in advance by predicting where the star group would move.
When the plan to raid the flanks of the Star Jonggun and disintegrate them failed, the pursuit team quickly turned their horses and attempted to catch the Jonggun’s rear.
but.
“Ate!”
“Scroll three, rip!”
Ate, who had already moved to the rear following Isabelle’s orders, quickly gave a hand signal. Then, the members pulled out the third scroll they had in their arms and tore it one after another.
‘Falling fireball.’ It was a magic commonly known as ‘Fire Ball’. Since it was a fire type, it was well known for its attack power and destructive power.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Kurrrr-
“shit!”
“Dodge, dodge!”
“Ugh!”
The cavalrymen who were in the lead and were hit by fireballs fell from their horses.
Flames soared as sparks rained down all over the floor.
Since ancient times, creatures called horses are very timid. Especially since there were more than once times when I was shocked when I encountered fire.
Hee hee hee!
“shit!”
“Whoa, whoa!”
As the startled horses galloped all at once, the chase team’s battle line quickly became a mess.
Fortunately, the rear lines, which had suffered less damage, quickly dispersed to the left and right and resumed the pursuit, but the Star Colony had already widened the distance by as much as me again.
“You won’t be caught gently, is this what you mean?”
Pap-duk!
The officer of the cavalry corps gritted his teeth and struck the reins hard.
“I will chase you to the end of hell.”
His eyes were stained with anger.
That’s why he didn’t realize it.
The fact that the place where the star group is heading is a long and narrow canyon that even they themselves are reluctant to approach.
