‘Well, I sent it out with the thought that it wouldn’t matter if I lost.’
Russ, who was unable to participate in the Battle of Fortress Sinai, begged Repenhardt to let him face Lord Spiers this time. It was a natural request for him to follow Leffenhardt in order to gain fame and return to the Tennes family.
And this time, Reppenhardt also willingly gave his permission. The purpose of the Sinai Fortress was to prove that the power of this race was real, but this time there was no need for that.
It’s good to prove the power of different races, but if they continue to stand out, humans will be relatively buried. In that case, rather than having different races on the side of humans, it becomes a structure of humans vs. other races.
Moreover, considering that most of Prince Yubel’s army were human, here, a human Auror user had to step in to save face and prevent unnecessary jealousy from other nobles.
‘If things continue like this, it will give the impression that humans are being pushed out by dwarves and orcs, but if Russ steps forward, they will just see us as a group of powerful multi-racial Auror users. Well, if Russ falls, then Kalken or Cardamite can step in.’
It was Leppenhardt who sent Russ out because he had an idea of his own. In fact, he didn’t really expect to win. Considering his past life, there wasn’t much of a chance that Russ at his current age would beat Sir Spirit.
But he fights well. He fights better than you can imagine. Well, it can almost be said that this is overwhelming the situation.
‘If this continues, that guy will be heard as a swordsman in a few years, right?’
But if you think about it, it wasn’t that strange. Originally, Russ’s talent was truly a gift from heaven, so it could be said that it was already complete in itself. The reason Russ received the title of Sword Saint when he was over 40 was because Auror users avoided sparring with each other, so he had to learn everything on his own. Now, thanks to Repenhardt, I’ve been able to steal a lot of technology here and there, so it’s not at all unreasonable to extract that much progress.
“Ugh!”
Spirit, who was facing the Blade Auror, groaned. The moment the aurors clashed, a secret energy seeped through the opponent’s blade auror and struck his arms. Russ grinned.
“I learned it from Mr. Stella!”
To be more precise, I would say it was stolen. Of course, it was something that Spirit could not understand. Frowning, he swung his sword even more wildly.
“It’s not like I’m going to lose to a kid like this!”
Spirit put all his power into his sword. The red blade aura becomes even thicker and shines like a huge pillar of light. The intention was to cut down the opponent with one blow.
“Hoo?”
In response, Russ’ eyes lit up and he waved his sword wildly. Afterimages of countless swords appeared, and dozens of blue auras rushed toward Spirit.
The pinnacle of swordsmanship, a heavy sword and a large sword, are embodied in the hands of the two knights and fly towards each other. The moment their sword strikes clashed, Spirit’s eyes widened. Most of the blue aurors that his own sword encountered were disappearing into vain.
‘Was it an illusion!’
All of the attacks that felt intense waves of aura were fake, and the blade auror with real power was silently and secretly digging into his left and right sides. Spirit screamed inwardly.
‘I got hit!’
The moment this young auror user in front of me unfolded his phantom sword, he separated the presence and reality of the auror and deceived even the senses of the auror user, Spirit. It was a terrifying technology that I could never have imagined.
The massive red aura pierced the air in vain, and at the same time, blood spurted out from both of Spirit’s shoulders.
“Keuuuuck!”
Spilling blood, Spireus lost his grip on the sword and fell from his horse. The Karsas camp was in a state of turmoil, and shouts of surprise broke out here and there.
“Lord Spear!”
“oh my god! Mr. Spirit!”
Spireus, who had fallen from his horse, looked at Russ in astonishment with his arms hanging limply.
As an Auror user, he also knew what Russ had done. But I really don’t know how that is possible. Russ, who was an unlucky genius, was able to steal the Aura operation method just by looking at it, but for an ordinary(?) Auror user like Spireous, it is a feat that is completely impossible.
“How can such amazing skills be achieved at such an age?” … .”
In despair as his lifelong training was in vain, Spirit stared blankly at Russ. Even after winning, the young man was not happy but just looked down at him with cold eyes. He is not only skilled, but also possesses a composure that is befitting his age?
Of course, this was Spirit’s mistake.
‘Oh, I failed again, Phantom Divide.’
In fact, Russ was not cool, but depressed. Spirit was amazed at Russ’s skill in separating presence and reality, but in reality, this was only the result of a failed Phantom Divide that transcends space.
‘Damn, I can do everything else, but why is the success rate so low?’
Well, to others, he appears to have an arrogant and proud expression on his face, saying that there is nothing to be happy about even if he wins against something like Spirit.
“Ugh!”
With a humiliating groan, Spirit quickly kicked the ground and fled to the camp. Russ just looked at him with a stern look on his face, as if he didn’t deserve to be treated like that.
In fact, I missed the timing for a follow-up attack due to disappointment due to a technical failure, but how can the viewer know what was going on? The sight of Spirit running away miserably and the confident Russ was a really good contrast. Prince Yubel’s army chanted his name in unison.
“Wow!”
“Cyrus! Cyrus! Cyrus!”
“Long live Lord Cyrus!”
It was a moment when the reputation of Auror user Cyrus was heard throughout the continent.
☆ ☆ ☆
Karsas jumped up from his seat. It was clearly visible that his soldiers were shaken by Sir Spirit’s miserable defeat. If their morale dropped further, they were likely to lose without even being able to fight properly.
He shouted while making hand signals.
“All troops! “Advance!”
One knight drew his sword and shouted bravely.
“For the true King! Let’s go, Brozen Knights!”
“Oooooh!”
In order to raise their morale, all of the knights started running while shouting brave words. Prince Yubel also raised his hand and shouted.
“Everyone, charge!”
Russ shouted, stabbing the sky with his Blade Aura.
“let’s go! “Brave warriors!”
The orc warriors of the Blue Bear tribe at the forefront roared in unison and rushed at the direwolf.
“Kaaaa!”
With the sound of horses’ hooves shaking the heavens and earth, the knights of both armies rushed to the battlefield at once. Waves of steel rush in from both directions, creating bloody waves in the middle of the Great Plains. The Orc cavalrymen at the forefront threw down their swords while singing songs of fighting spirit.
“Fight until your heart explodes!”
“Fight until your heart explodes!”
“The warrior’s spirit will protect us!”
Five hundred Brozen Knights and one hundred Blue Bear tribe orc warriors. The majestic battle was a landslide victory for the Orc warriors. Activating their Spirit Weapons, the Orc warriors mercilessly cut down the knights and ran to ravage the battlefield.
“Kaaaaak!”
“You monsters!”
The screams of the Brozen Knights rang out from all over the battlefield.
The Knights of Brozen are said to form the two walls of the Kingdom of Crovence along with the Knights of Fernando. In other words, it is no different from the Knights of Ferdinand. Since there is no difference in skill or information about the Orcs, their fate has no choice but to follow that of the Knights of Ferdinand, who guarded the Sinai Fortress.
Following them, the human knights of Prince Yubel’s army also jumped into the enemy camp with even more courage. Karsas, who was observing the battle situation, gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Don’t back down! The number of enemies is still small! Stand in line and knock them off their horses!”

In preparation for the knights’ assault, the Karsas army had faithfully trained its infantry to form a formation and target the knights’ horses. Of course, the success rate is only about 10%, but even so, it is much better than risking the lives of soldiers due to inaction when the knights charge. As expected from the well-trained Karsas army, they quickly formed their ranks and formed their ranks as quickly as they had practiced.
At that time, Karsas’s expression suddenly hardened.
‘huh? Falling from a horse?’
Clearly, his soldiers were familiar with the tactics of dealing with knights on horseback. But did you mean what those guys were on?
“Awww!”
The direwolf riding Kalken howled loudly and bitten the soldiers mercilessly. Afterwards, the Direwolf of Starla pummels the soldiers who stand in its way with its front paws. Although the soldiers had faithfully lined up, they were all helpless. What they learned was how to defeat an opponent riding a ‘horse’, not an opponent riding a ‘wolf’!
“Aaaah!”
“Save people!”
Moreover, horses and wolves have different levels of fear in terms of visuals. What is scarier, an excited horse or a wolf with its teeth bared? Moreover, unlike horses, we are not familiar with wolves.
It was an instant for the ranks to collapse. Next, arrows become a rain of death and strike the Karsas army, and the infantry follows behind with great vigor.
“Kill!”
“Kill them all!”
The 10,000-strong Karsas army was badly outgunned by the 3,000-strong Prince Yubel army. At the head of it, as many as six rays of dazzling light rose. Even if only one surged, it was hopeless, but when there were six, it was impossible not to lose morale. Karsas gritted his teeth.
“shit! “Are those rumors really true?”
Prince Yubel’s army, led by six Aurors, was overwhelmingly in control of the battlefield. Karsas scolded his lieutenant.
“What on earth is Lord Seid doing?”
Karsas advanced the entire army and at the same time took out Icheon’s troops and organized a separate force to target the left side of the enemy camp. No matter how strong their charging power is, there is no change in their numerical inferiority. This side has an overwhelmingly large number of troops, so if they have a detachment attack the main camp and cut off Prince Yubel’s head, they will win.
It was a standard tactic used by the great army of Karsas. Ask any strategist and they will praise Karsas for managing his soldiers brilliantly.
But that wasn’t working. The adjutant responded in a trembling voice.
“That is… … “Lord Seid is unable to penetrate the enemy’s base.”
“Nonsense! “Isn’t their main base numbering about two hundred troops at most?”
Karsas muttered as if he was having a nightmare. Unbelievably, Icheon’s detachment led by Sir Seid was blocked by Prince Yubel’s main camp guarded by only two hundred men. This was because about half of those two hundred people were Dwarf warriors from Grand Forge.
“Uh-huh! “Us!”
“My legs are short, so I can’t jump here and there!”
“Putting down roots and holding on is a major!”
Dwarf warriors have no mobility, but when they form a line in one place, they boast defensive power that can be considered a moving fortress. Despite the waves of horsemen and infantry, they were not pushed back and defended the main camp.
It was truly a series of destruction of common sense. There is the superior mobility of the Orc warriors, the overwhelming defense of the Dwarf warriors, and even the Elf spiritists with extensive attack power.
“My burning friend!”
Every time the elves shout, the fire giant, Ignasis, reveals his majestic form and burns the soldiers. Deserters came out one after another, accompanied by screams. The magicians on the Karsas army tried to use magic against the spirits… … .
“Gagging!”
“Fail again!”
The leader of the magic corps, wizard Gort, screamed as he saw his fellow wizard coughing up blood and collapsing. From earlier, whenever I tried to use magic, some strange air current was interfering with the mana flow and blocking the magic. Although he felt his entire body’s mana circuits creaking as his magic was constantly interrupted, like a wizard, Gort first had doubts.
‘How on earth can something like this happen because of how powerful a wizard is interfering?’
Already twenty wizards were unable to cast magic properly and were constantly being blocked. In order for this to be possible, the enemy had to have a tremendous archmage of at least the 8th or 9th circle.
And if you’re that great of a wizard… … .
“No, if you have this kind of talent, you can just use high-level magic. Why are you doing such a troublesome thing!”
‘Well, I have talent, but I don’t have magic power yet.’
Reppenhardt, who blocked another magic spell, smiled bitterly. It was obvious what the enemy wizards were thinking.
He had been watching the magicians’ mana flow from earlier, and when they tried to do something, he was ahead of them and disrupted the flow, destroying the magic. Once magic has been activated, it cannot be blocked, but it can be stopped before it is activated.
In short, it was a stunt that could only be accomplished by predicting in advance what magic the opponent would use. Rather than requiring a high-ranking circle, it was possible only with superior insight, mana management, and magic detection ability, so it was a perfect method for the current Reppenhardt, who had low magic power but only a high level.
While Reppenhardt was keeping the wizards in check, the wizards of Prince Yubel’s army were freely throwing fireballs and lightning strikes onto the battlefield. While everyone was excitedly using magic, they were looking in awe at the presence of Reppenhardt, who was doing ridiculous things.
“Anyway, how is Siris doing?”
Blocking another spell, Reppenhardt secretly looked across the battlefield. I’m busy blocking magic, so I don’t have time to cast long-distance spells, but since I’m an Auror user in the first place, my basic vision is no joke. As she concentrated her mind, she could see her running wild among the elves.
“My friend Sarana, I call you in the name of friendship… … .”
This time, Siris summoned Sarana, the wind spirit, and ‘treaded’ as she pleased, going up and down in the air of the battlefield. As expected, the spirits were Sarana, who frowned every time she stepped on the head of a crucian carp, but steadily came out again when called.
Every time she flies, blood splatters and screams erupt. Each time her scimitar is swung, she screams and runs away in fear.
“She’s a witch!”
“The elf witch catches people!”
Her superior martial ability compared to other elves made her stand out even on the battlefield. When this war was over, it seemed that Siris’ name would also be popular among people.
Swords clash with swords, and screams and groans arise. Seeing the miserable battlefield and the miserable sight of his allies, Karsas eventually raised his flag.
“Give the order to retreat… … .”
Even in the midst of despair, Karsas calmly led his soldiers and began to retreat. The command was so impeccable that not even Prince Yubel’s army dared to chase after him. Even if it was a great victory, they were outnumbered, so if there was a needless chase and the troops were divided, they could be defeated individually.
Yubel, the commander-in-chief, raised his sword and shouted.
“Cheer! “It’s our victory!”
The blood-stained knights and soldiers all raised their weapons and screamed evil. An exhilarating cry filled the plain.
“Oooooh!”
