“Waaa!”

Flashes of swords embroidered the city sky.

Amid the cheers of the people, Leo’s sword cut through the opponent’s sword.

“Where are you going?”

A participant on the siege side, trying to break through the old town in one fell swoop through a high-rise building, fell into the street.

The people who had retreated to the side of the road and watched since they came nearby applauded Leo.

You are already familiar with these things.

For the residents of Stellarium, Topsword was a festival.

“surrender! surrender!”

The person whom Leo had shot down raised both hands and declared surrender just before the pursuit hit.

The difference in skills between the two was obvious when the sword broke in one blow.

He had just taken down one who had come his way, but he had no time to rest.

-Go that way again!

“Only my feet go faster!”

The first round of Top Sword takes place throughout Stellarium, the archipelago.

For him, the rules of the game limited damage to civilians.

“These bastards, since buildings and people get in the way, aren’t they all aiming for aerial combat?”

sky.

In other words, sky.

Empty means that the place is empty without anything.

The siege side was also far from being able to penetrate the Mercury side by blocking it in a state where they could not use their power.

However, if it was in the air, there was no need to worry about damage to the surroundings even if it used its full power.

“Drop all the flying ones! If we stick to the ground and fight, we have an advantage!”

Conversely, if both sides came down to the street and fought, they could not give their best.

In this case, the battle becomes sluggish because they could only use the strength of each other.

It is advantageous for Mercury, who has to drag out time.

– Mr. Leo, please help! Another very strong guy!

“I get it! Coming soon!”

Thus, the Mercury side used a method in which the interception team would drop those trying to pass above, and the rest would catch on and hang from below.

Those who were not proficient with intangible swords were able to walk in the air, but were often unable to cover aerial combat.

In this way, the Mercury side was defending more stably than expected.

“Senior Leo!”

“Is this Miss Thiu?”

Tiu got closer to Leo who kept moving.

“What about those two?”

“Still no response. There was no incoming contact.

“You’re not supposed to be hurt, are you?”

“Among the participants, I don’t think there is anyone who is capable enough to deal with both of them quietly… … .”

If there was a master who could defeat the two without a slap, it wouldn’t be strange if the imperial palace had already been breached.

“It is impossible to be certain. Right away, Noah himself appeared like a comet. A new powerhouse that we don’t know about may have joined.”

It was not uncommon for an unknown figure to make a spectacular debut in the top sword.

It is an international competition that attracts attention from all over the world.

Since there are people who decided to participate at the national level, there were cases where they deliberately avoided external activities and hid their skills before participating.

“Veronica-sama was also a rumored case until she entered Nightray last year.”

“Wouldn’t it have been better to check for sure then?”

“It’s never too late to have regrets at the reflection meeting after the game. Even thinking about it now, I think the judgment itself was a common sense line.”

However, since the situation was like this, I had to solve the problem there and lower the possibility of joining.

“Rather than that, the immediate situation takes precedence. I was worried about the splendid penetration of the castle walls, but the enemy’s offensive is weaker than I thought.”

It was quite a stop for what he did openly.

He could have thought that it was simply because the attacks of the siege were carried out separately, but something was wrong.

“Are you saying that the walls were broken down to attract attention?”

“okay. If that happens, their goals will be different.”

The doubt was quickly resolved.

Wow!

-The west side has also been pierced!

The situation where the nearby troops are concentrated in the place that was drilled earlier.

Mercury’s forces were concentrated in the east.

“… … I miss them more.”

* * *

Upon hearing the news that the west side had been breached, Phyllis’ foreign legion commander, Fang, asked for Veronica’s opinion as if to see her.

“Look, the guys from the west seem to be the real main force. What are you going to do now?”

“I think I’ve benefited enough by enduring half of the time limit in the way I have been doing so far. Now we change our strategy.”

Veronica first sent the reserves that remained in the center west.

“The remaining personnel in the west retreat as they are until they join the reserve.”

“You have to step back for a while to join the reserve, right? Aren’t you wasting all your time?”

“It is more important to reduce the loss of troops. Please make retreat a priority.”

“You’re making such decisions without knowing the enemy’s intentions yet.”

At the same time as the fangs sneered, an ally’s messenger entered the command center.

“On the west side, we checked Ricardo and Madeira’s participants. As you said, all 10 of those people were there.”

“Were you looking for the Madeira guys?”

“Because they’re the ones who don’t know when and where they might come out and stab you in the back.”

The content that I had predicted the current situation to some extent.

Besides, that meant planting trustworthy personnel in each field.

The canine looked back at Veronica in amazement.

“Isn’t that guy who came as a messenger a Nightray?”

“Even if it’s not necessarily those who participated in Nightray, the participants from the Empire are cooperative with me.”

“I ate one. I was trying to see what to do when I removed all my limbs.”

It was a political issue on the defensive side that the Night Ray personnel except for Veronica were placed on the outermost wall.

Fangs raised the issue that Veronica, in command, could benefit from placing her entourage in a safe place.

Veronica accepted that opinion and placed the Night Ray participants on the inner wall with the highest risk of being eliminated.

“Thanks to you, my voice has increased, so I am grateful. and… … .”

“and?”

“Nightrays are strong. No one gets knocked out in the first round.”

It was a tense situation, but Veronica gave orders one after another as if she had waited.

“Fang, you lead the Foreign Legion and help us retreat westward.”

“i get it.”

“There is no additional support until you join the saints, so you have to do it yourself.”

It was to send all the reserve forces.

Since there had to be people left to stop the surprise attack on the palace, there were no more people left in the center.

From noble mtl dot com.

“… … Did you mean to play a prank on your subordinates?”

“It is not a load. I’m only representing them for a moment, but they’re equal participants with me. And didn’t you like fighting in the first place?”

“… … It was I who said I would take command first, so I’ll follow you to the end for this round.”

After sending the fangs, Veronica gave additional instructions to the troops and Nightray personnel in the eastern direction.

“Where the hell did these two disappear… … .”

One by one, they are troublemakers who have gone missing in pairs in an important situation.

Veronica sighed, thinking of Noah and Felix.

“Still, I’m glad Ricardo was found.”

No matter how great his resourcefulness was, there were limits to what he could do.

“Once we come within our line of sight, we can respond to anything. It’s surprising how quickly you took over the siege side, but we’re not defeated this time.”

* * *

Meanwhile, shortly before the western wall was breached.

After meeting with Emperor Gwanghwi, Noah and Felix went around the new town outside the castle instead of immediately joining their allies.

“To think that the grandfather you mentioned was Mr. Vincent… … .”

“Is that such a surprise?”

“of course. Vincent is of the same generation as my great-grandfather, Ben Meyer. He has been active since 100 years ago!”

“Somehow, even though he possesses tremendous martial arts, he still has gray hair.”

“I can’t help it because I’m old.”

-!

“The enemy.”

“I checked too.”

The two men, who were walking around the outside of the inner wall while talking in the middle of the day, held their breath as soon as they felt the presence of the enemy.

“It’s Madeira.”

“These are the guys who rode the same train to Stellarium. Pretty strong.”

“Veronica-sama also said that their leader is a guy who has a lot of fun. Did you say Ricardo?”

The first things the two discovered were Ricardo and the Knights of Madeira.

There were other participants as well, and the number was staggering.

“100? 200? Is this their main force?”

“I don’t know, but it looks like Ricardo is leading them. Look nearby.”

At the location Felix pointed out, about 20 people were separated.

“In the first round, there are usually a lot of guys who are interested in participating. The placenta is not at the level of an intangible sword. But all the guys gathered there seem to be of the upper ranks.”

“Amazing, Great. Look at this. Did you do as well as I said?”

The reason why Noah and Felix started circling the outside of the city wall instead of joining the main force after parting ways with the Bright Emperor.

It was because of this.

“The other side doesn’t know we’re watching.”

“of course. Could you have imagined we were here?”

Emperor Guanghui secretly visited Noah to meet him and even blocked the surroundings.

Because of that, everyone missed Noah and Felix’s location.

“Nobody knows where we are now. Of course, it is more advantageous to go around like this rather than just joining.”

At first glance, it seemed that the allies were blocking it well even without the two of them.

Noah decided that it was better to put this to good use somehow than to rejoin.

In fact, they didn’t even know they were here right now.

“But what are they doing over there?”

“There is no sound here. need to get closer… … .”

Kwagwagwang!

The moment they felt like they were doing something, a number of participants pulled out their intangible swords and threw their swords at the wall.

Part of the wall collapsed with the sound of thunder.

The waiting personnel rushed through it in unison.

“Did you break through the wall like that… … .”

“Wait, look over there.”

Ricardo’s side talked to the 20 people who had been separated after breaking down the wall, and then started to act separately.

Ricardo and Madeira’s knights entered with the siege personnel, and the rest of the personnel left the broken walls and headed elsewhere.

“what? Where are they going?”

The two approached the mysterious group while maintaining stealth.

Stealth was not particularly a skill, but from the opponent’s point of view, it was a position where the enemy could not expect to come this far.

No one noticed the approach of the two because they put tension on the thought of their sincerity and the boundaries were loose.

Noah, who got close enough to hear the opponent’s voice, was able to overhear the opponent’s plan there.

“crazy.”

Ricardo’s real plan was working in a way no one expected.
