Chapter 237 – The War Begins – Part 2
Tetion territory.
This city, located in the middle of the south, was a place where distribution was making a lot of money.
Of course, as the south is famous for its granary, the amount of food produced by itself is large, and the remaining food can also be profited through trade.
Due to such gains, Baron Tetion’s estate gained great wealth and fame.
A lineage that is estimated to be able to reach the rank of count if it is only a few generations later.
Kwaaaaang-!
But even that fertile land is now being burned by war.
“Damn it!”
A rice field in the field of view of Baron Tetion.
At this time, when they had to prepare for farming after a break, the rice field was becoming a mess.
Bang! Kwak Kwa Kwak!
A land that is scorched and destroyed by magic rays.
Baron Tetion, who has protected this land for hundreds of years, looked at it and clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and shouted.
“All troops! Start bombardment!”
Along with Baron Tetion’s cry, the magic rays pouring from his knights waiting on the wall were shot toward the army across the burning plain.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
The attack of the knights who received Baron Tetion’s power and his backup.
Each of those blows is a mighty blow that destroys the terrain.
But.
Quaang!
“Kuk!”
The Black Legion was like a single creature, and the Knights united among themselves became one gigantic creature.
‘Behemoth!’
Under the influence of the black magic of Count Thoth, the knights have become black beasts and are charging while descending to the land.
“It is not without damage! It’s not that there isn’t… !”
Baron Tetion clicked his tongue.
Consumed magic power and enemy damage. Compared to that, the efficiency is low.
“But the victory is with us! If we hold on, reinforcements will appear! Everyone, cheer up a little more!”
“Ancient!”
The knights respond to Baron Tetion’s cry, increasing the power of the magical power poured out.
In fact, the front line with Count Tote’s family comes as a backup from the surrounding territories if one is invaded.
As long as he had actually defeated them several times, Baron Tetion’s words were not wrong.
However, Baron Tetion, who actually shouted that, tried to hide his shit-chewed expression.
‘There are too many opponents… On top of that, the most important Count Thoth hasn’t appeared yet!’
A black beast rushing towards us over the horizon. As if Count Thoth had devoted all its strength, there is no beast that is the most terrifying and gigantic among the beasts, including the Knights and the nobles of Count Thoth.
“Everyone, stay alert! The full-scale war hasn’t even started yet… !”
Baron Tetion, as a noble, is also vigilant and maintains the morale of his men.
This side is at a disadvantage due to the ongoing war of attrition, but the situation itself seems to be advantageous to Tetion, who fires one-sided artillery fire. There are very few people whose brains are spinning enough to notice that.
Hides disadvantages to allies and boosts morale.
Showing skillful command, Baron Tetion really could become a count sometime soon.
Kwaaang!
Unless it’s a huge black beast.
Krrrr!
Under the sky.
A black beast with a haze of black magic appeared all over it.
Even the black beast created by the knights was the size of a small building, but when the beast appeared, it was so gigantic that it looked like a baby.
“Chris Tot… !”
Baron Tetion’s eyes widened.
The overwhelming difference in magic attribute. I can feel the difference in magical power between the baron and the count.
Tough black skin that would bounce off the blade rather than pierce it. While walking on quadrupeds, its size is even greater than that of a castle wall.
Teeth sharp enough to last a normal lifespan, and dark red eyes full of madness. Claws digging into the ground, long tails that seem to swing at buildings.
The beast of the Thoth family, who inherited the name of the large-scale monster ‘Behemoth’, has descended.
Hehe-!!
The beast roars and runs.
A gigantic beast over the horizon gallops through the rice field, lightly shortening hundreds of meters with a single leap.
“Keugh!”
One minute one second. ‘In an instant.’
Baron Tetion had dozens of thoughts in his head about how to break the current situation, in the vanguard of Count Chris Thoth, who ran to the point where he could use any modifier.
“Chit! I can’t help it.”
Baron Tetion stretched out his hands and put the fingers of his hands together to form a triangle.
Then, aiming at Chris Thoth, who has turned into a Behemoth through one eye, focuses his magical power on the eye.
“If we fight head-on, there is no chance of winning.”
It’s unfortunate for him, but it’s natural.
That’s why there was only one thing Baron Tetion could do.
Buying time.
“I will show you the power of Tetion.”
The moment Tetion’s eyes opened while looking at Chris Tot.
Strange patterns were drawn in his pupils, and his mana soared.
“Beast. You will not pass this way.”
The dispatcher Tetion.
Its true face is revealed.
* * *
Khuhuong-!
Behemoth’s Chris Thoth, the Black Beast, clicked his tongue.
The distance of several kilometers was shortened in an instant, but the distance was immediately widened in an instant.
The walls of Tetion, faintly visible over the horizon.
In the midst of the knights who tried to reduce the distance while taking the damage, they charged at the timing for an instant, but due to the power of Baron Tetion, the distance was widened again.
“What should I do?”
“Hmm.”
Chris Thoth looked at Tetion at the question of the vassal who approached him.
A faintly visible man on top of the castle wall. A nobleman who continues to use blue magic.
“Well, you didn’t think you would succeed right away at first, did you?”
“That’s right, but then let’s move on to the next step.”
“Hmm.”
An aristocrat who controls the streets.
Tetion of the dispatcher. Its power is a powerful force that distorts the laws of the world.
Even Chris Tot praised Tetion’s power with an honest heart.
But that is it and this is this.
As long as you meet as an enemy of war, you will thoroughly destroy it.
“It’s a powerful force, but that’s why it can’t be used for long.”
Chris Tot took a step on the road to the city. At that moment, I was one step further away.
Chris Tot laughed at the bizarre phenomenon of ignoring the laws of physics.
An unattainable, endless road stretched out before him.
“However, it is not a skill that can be easily released and used again once captured. It is said to be the power of Baron Tetion, but as long as you hold me, it will soon be released.”
Two hours at most. No, Chris Tot. He too will resist this force, so it’s over in an hour.
“Get as close as possible. Don’t be afraid to sacrifice.”
“All right!”
Chris Tot, a vassal who fell away from the small black beast at the growl of the giant beast, joined the beast again and started a journey on an endless road.
“This is true.”
Staring at it, Chris Tort glanced to the northwest with his eyes wide open.
“Lord Müller, no. If Count Hyperion doesn’t notice, he’ll take a shot.”
‘As expected it wouldn’t work.’
Chris Thoth also didn’t like moving the Serrot Church, but I couldn’t help it now that I received a call from Maya Thoth.
Even so, there was no way to fight against those forces alone, including not only the counts, but also the marquis and the royal family.
“What, is it?”
Whether it works or not.
If the Celestial Church moves, they won’t be able to help it either.
“More than that…”
He looked at his immediate prey, Baron Tetion, and licked his lips.
“It’s hunting time…”
On the road without arrival, the Behemoth started moving again.
Even in order to consume Baron Tetion’s mana more quickly.
Cooong! Cooong! Thud-!
The beast runs
* * *
Caw-! Caw-!
An empty castle where ominous birds are chirping.
Larson, the leader of the Larson estate.
The castle, which was once crowded with countless people, was now completely abandoned and in ruins.
“It is desolate.”
In such a desolate castle, a guest appeared after a long time.
Dressed in pure white armor and clothing, the flag in her hand was drawn with a huge circle and a cross drawn inside it.
It was the army of the Serot Church.
“The vitality…”
A devastated abandoned city.
Two of the group escaped from camp on a hill overlooking the city, looking at Larsen.
The two, wearing pure white robes, looked down over the hill to the city.
One of them looked at the city and muttered a pity.
“I can’t believe my vitality is waning this much… I heard the story, but what the hell happened?”
At the words of a robe that appeared to be a woman with a thin voice, the person who took a step back opened his mouth.
Even though he covered his face with a hood, he looked at the city with a cold gaze.
“There is no way to use this city that has drained its magic to this extent. Life itself is dead. People, animals, and plants. It will get sick and gradually dry up.”
The woman in the lead spoke in a voice filled with sadness at the voice of the man behind her.
“Should I go this far to get this land?”
“I can’t help it. You have to think of the believers.”
At the man’s words, the woman bit her lip.
“Oh God…”
As she murmured softly and raised her hand over her chest, she murmured as if in prayer.
“Please, let there be hope ahead of us…”
