0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 85

Ledemann couldn’t come to his senses from the spot where he fell.

The army of the Kingdom of Gazar, who followed him to the Kingdom of Halaz, is by no means a rabble.

They are elite soldiers who are said to be the second strongest after the Kala Kingdom.

No matter how much Aslan’s prestige spread across the continent, the Gazar Kingdom was not afraid of his name.

Even until just a moment ago.

“Oooh-.”

“This, this nonsense…”

“Sah, save me. I can’t hear you.”

“It is a monster. I-that’s a monster!”

look at them

They are shaking with fear and no one can get up from their seats.

As if they were all worshiping that man who was looking down at them with that red cloak waving.

‘Is this Aslan?’

Demon Hunter, Light Knight, and Karman’s strength.

Besides that, Aslan is a man who is followed by various modifiers.

I thought his power was just a rumor, an illusion.

In fact, the rumor was reduced.

‘Can I really beat that man even if Karman comes?’

He was the man who subdued this great army with just his voice.

How much more would it be different from Karman?

He is the same human.

“I-I can’t give up like this.”

But what precedes fear is human greed.

Ledemann rose from his seat and shouted to the soldiers who were still asleep.

“What are you doing!! wake up quickly! You are the strongest knights of the Kingdom of Gazar! But are you going to stay here, trembling at just one voice!?”

“…”

But they didn’t respond.

Could it be that he just lost all of his hearing because of it, or is he just pretending not to hear?

“Get up quickly, you pathetic bastards!”

He even started kicking at the fallen soldiers.

“Go and fight! Are you going to trample on the honor of the Gazar Kingdom? Go and take back my kingdom!”

It was then.

Woo-woo-!

ridge-! Doo-!

As the drums sounded along with the sound of the horn, the army of Eli Kingdom began to come forward.

“That’s…”

Heavy armored cavalry that cannot be penetrated by arrows and most magic.

Did the Kingdom of Eli already create that level of military technology?

But it didn’t end there.

Whee-ae-aeae-!!

Something flew up into the sky, and as soon as it touched the ground-

Quaang-!! Kwak-kwang-!!

It caused a big explosion and started to explode in all directions.

“aaagh!”

“Cheak!”

What kind of technology is this again?

It’s obviously not magic, but it shows such explosive power!

The army of the kingdom of Gazar, whose morale had already been demoralized by Aslan, was thrown into chaos by the pouring callutan.

“Do, run!!”

“An army of monsters!! Run away!”

Eventually, they hurriedly got up and ran away.

“no! Where are you going! These guys!”

Redemann caught the knights trying to escape and prevented them from going.

However, it was none other than Rekiel, the Grand Master of the Gazar Kingdom, who stopped him.

He kicked Ledemann’s body and said in a furious voice.

“What did you dare to do to my knights?”

“Le, Rekiel Grand Knight Commander. What are you doing? Are you thinking of leaving like this? Your king must have told you to restore the kingdom of Halaz!”

“If our king had seen this situation, he would have followed my decision.”

“What, what?”

Rekiel shook his head as he looked at the army of Eli Kingdom that was slowly approaching.

“In the meantime, we looked down on Eli Kingdom too much. If we fight in this state, it will surely be our defeat. Then, the kingdom of Gazar, which lost its main force, will perish just like the kingdom of Halaz. In the hands of that Aslan.”

“…!”

“We cannot allow our kingdom to perish in the fight for other kingdoms.”

“Oh, no. Hey, if we fight together even now, we can win!”

“Shut up! Didn’t you see that power just now?!”

Rekiel’s body was shaking.

“That was… a power I had never experienced in my life. How the hell am I supposed to fight after seeing such power!”

Rekiel turned away from Ledeman and said.

“As Aslan said, you are the king of a ruined country. I have no intention of becoming your dog.”

Leaving Ledeman in a daze, Rekiel ran to the two great mages, Romelios and Arsan.

“Are you two okay?”

“yes. It’s a bit of a shock, but… it’s okay.”

The two were blocking the falling attack by spreading a shield.

“That’s called Calutan, which the Eli Kingdom developed.”

“It is much more powerful than magic bullets and has a long range. I would have thought that the Kingdom of Eli would be the first to develop such a lethal weapon.”

As the kingdom’s archmage, he was always curious about new magic and weapons.

Rekiel looked at the two disapprovingly and urged.

“Is this the time to admire? If the army of the Kingdom of Eli rushes in, we will all be annihilated.”

“I know. Who would have known that our kingdom’s army could become so helpless with just one voice?”

“…”

“But it is strange. If Aslan were to stand in the vanguard and charge, we would be annihilated without doing anything.”

That was something even Rekiel found strange.

If someone other than Aslan had stood in the vanguard and carried out the attack, they would have bumped into it once. However, if Aslan stood in the vanguard and fired that terrifying roar again, the Gajar Kingdom army would be swept away without a second hand.

“But the fact that they’re not attacking is…”

“It will be the last mercy.”

“Against our kingdom of Gazar? Do you know what retaliation we will do?”

“Didn’t you just see it? Even if we raise an army to retaliate, do you really think you can defeat that monster?”

“…”

Rekiel bit his lip.

As Romelios said, even if you say that you are gathering more than twice as many troops here and now, it is hard to draw a picture of defeating Aslan.

“Shit.”

Finally, he swallowed bitter saliva and shouted.

“Everyone quickly retreat to the borders of the kingdom!! You guys take care of the rear.”

“It is. Quickly assemble the army. Before Aslan runs out of patience.”

Rekiel nodded and hurriedly moved forward to deal with the army in panic. Then, he glanced behind him.

Aslan was still waving his red cloak, looking down at them from above.

* * *

“Retreat!!”

“retreat! It’s a retreat!!”

I stared at the army of the Kingdom of Gazar, which was retreating while raising dust.

‘Are you finally leaving?’

I let out a sigh of relief inside.

After bursting out the roar of the battlefield, they poured kalutan to break their fighting spirit.

It was working properly and running away like that.

If they didn’t run away and held out to fight until the end, the damage to our army would have been great.

“Standby division commander! Just give me orders!”

“I’ll go and slaughter them right now!”

Aaron and the knights shouted.

Aren’t these total warlords?

“…”

I glared at them sharply.

Then Aaron and the knights were startled and quickly lowered their heads.

“Are you saying you want to chase after the fleeing enemy, abandoning your knightly pride and honor?”

“That, that’s…”

“Do not tarnish your honor by slaughtering such people. Even being stained with their blood is a knight’s disgrace. Do you understand?”

“Yes!!”

“You are indeed right!”

right bitch.

It’s because you can go wrong if you follow it.

Rekiel, the Grand Commander of the Gazar Kingdom, had the characteristic of [Counterattack], so he often got reversed after following the wrong one.

So it’s best to just let them run away.

Of course, because there is Levanos, our army will not be defeated, but since we cannot win overwhelmingly, the aftermath that will occur after that is terrifying.

“Standby division commander. There is one guy left over there.”

The only person left at the place where the army of the Gazar Kingdom left was none other than the King of Halaz Kingdom, Ledeman.

“What would you like the author to do?”

I glanced at Ledemann and immediately turned around.

“I have no interest in those who have abandoned their kingdom. take care of it.”

If left as it is, Ledeman will die on its own.

I didn’t care and was about to return to the kingdom.

“Standby division commander. At the castle, all the people are waiting for the Grand Commander.”

“…?”

“Now, the kingdom of Halaz will go under the kingdom of Eli. As a result, people are confused. If the commander of the grand division could say something, it might be stable.”

Kellyn didn’t do anything stupid.

Usually, when a castle or kingdom is conquered, a high-ranking person will come forward and give a speech to stabilize the people there.

Aslan has the characteristics of dominance and profound charm, so it can be said that he is a character that works a little well, but he needed a stronger shot than that.

At that time, I remembered the sentence in the roar skill description.

– The morale of allies who hear the caster’s roar rises. Enemies are demoralized.

What if this works…?

* * *

“…”

A black shadow fell over the head of Ledemann, who was devastated and kept on his knees.

“You look like a king of a ruined country.”

When I looked up, there was Archmage Kellin.

Seeing that scene, Ledemann’s blood seemed to spurt backwards.

“Kelin. How dare you betray me?!”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Aren’t you the one who abandoned Halaj first!”

“You must have said you would come with me, right? It was you who rejected it.”

“Crazy. Wouldn’t it be the attitude of a king to choose death rather than abandon the people of the kingdom?!”

Outraged, Kellyn grabbed Ledemann’s hair.

“yes. kill.”

“······no. It’s a shame to die like this.”

“What, what?”

“I will show you smartly. How your kingdom, Halaj, is now changing.”

Kellyn let go of his hair and ordered his men.

“Take the guy. I will go to the castle.”

“Yes!”

When I arrived at the castle with him, all the people had already gathered, and Aslan was on top of the podium.

Kelin joined the crowd with Ledemann.

The people were in confusion, and worried about what the future would bring to them.

Aren’t the people of ruined countries usually sold as slaves or living a worse life than humans?

It was such anxiety that befell them.

“…”

Aslan looked around the people without speaking for a long time.

He opened his mouth slowly.

[People of the Halaz Kingdom.]

A majestic voice began to resound everywhere.

It rang in my head just like the voice I heard on the plains earlier, but unlike that time, it didn’t feel threatening.

It’s still overbearing, but should I say it’s soft?

The confused people became calm with that one word.

[Don’t worry. I have no intention of subduing you.]

Aslan continued with a voice that seemed to care for them.

[I will leave it up to you what name you will live by. If you want to remain a member of Halaz Kingdom until the end, live as it is. I will not persecute you.]

“…?”

“Are you leaving the Halaz Kingdom as it is?”

“So our kingdom won’t fall?”

Kelyn was also taken aback by the people’s murmur.

What the hell is Aslan trying to say?

[However, if you decide to abandon the name Halaz and become a citizen of the Kingdom of Eli, I will promise you the name and honor of Aslan.]

There was strong power in Aslan’s voice that followed.

[I won’t discriminate against you just because you’re from another kingdom. If you are attacked by someone, I and my knights will protect you, and if someone kills you, I will chase you to the ends of hell and avenge you.]

“…!”

[But if you don’t like it, I’ll leave here without any regrets.]

A heavy silence hung over the castle.

Then a young man shouted.

“Our king has abandoned us!”

“you’re right! Aren’t you going to abandon us anytime!?”

It is a place where even the king has abandoned.

But is it different because you are a foreigner?

A strong fear of being abandoned at any time remained with them.

If this suspicion is strongly established, no one can embrace them.

By the way,

Sreureung-!

Suddenly, Aslan slowly drew his sword and cut his palm.

“!?”

Then he sprayed the blood from his hands onto the floor.

“Me-oh!”

“The holy light from the blood?!”

Surprisingly, the blood dripping on the floor emitted a bright light.

Aslan looked at the wide-eyed people and said,

“I swear by Aslan’s name. Unless you abandon me, I will not abandon you first.”

Then he continued, spraying blood to the last drop.

“This blood will be the token.”

They swallowed dry saliva and couldn’t shut their mouths at the light emanating from the blood.

“Now the choice is yours. Will you continue to live as the people of the ruined country, or will you become the people of the new kingdom and dream with me?”

Then, as if they were waiting, they shouted one by one.

“Everyone, I want to be your people!”

“Please make us also citizens of Eli Kingdom!!”

Aslan’s roar, which had subsided for a while, continued once again.

[Do you really want to abandon the name of the ruined country and become a citizen of the Kingdom of Eli?]

“Yes!!”

Aslan said while glancing at the people who answered in a loud voice.

[You are now the proud people of Eli Kingdom.]

At the sound of the sound, all the people shouted together.

“Wowaaa”

[If you doubt my promise, see my blood sprinkled here and engrave it. From now on, I will be with you forever!]

“Wow-!!”

Kelyn was trembling at the tremendous tremors spreading there.

Even Ledemann, who was watching this situation with desperation, did not stop trembling.

“Look, Ledeman.”

Kellyn said to Ledeman.

“He is now our new king.”

Ledemann saw a roaring flame in Kellin’s eyes.

It was a warm look in his eyes that he had never seen before.
