Chapter 167 – Eastern Expedition 3 ~ First Match vs . Byzeld ~
King Zackard of Byzeld looked forward with suspicion .
Two days after entering the territory of Istrea .
The mysteriously prepared food of the villages cultivated his spirit and he was about to head for the Royal Capital of Istrea .
In front of him was an army that he had never seen appeared .
[What the hell… Are they…?]
Zackard murmured .
An army that he has never seen in this eastern continent that he has tried to conquer . Seeing that army, he couldn’t hide his confusion .
[I didn’t know that Istrea had such an army?]
It is a famous story that Istrea has no soldiers . They have taken a strategy of emphasizing domestic affairs and leaving the military affairs to other countries .
Therefore there should be no soldiers on this territory .
However, many soldiers are lined up in front of Zackard . He was able to see their skills from the army that acted in a trained and well-disciplined manner .
[Even if you look at it that way, it doesn’t make sense . I guess I should check it . ]
As soon as he said so, he moved the army on his left flank .
And the formation of the opponent changed quickly as if in response to it .
When he thought that he had split into two to pincer them, but it got swallowed like a living thing .
A one-sided massacre unfolded . Zackard had no choice but to say nothing about this . He hurriedly tried to instruct the army’s right flank to rescue the left . It was at that moment that he saw something impossible in front of him .
[What do you mean…? A dragon !?]
Yes, a dragon appeared and attacked the army’s right flank . Following the dragon is an army of enemies . They rushed in with great momentum .
[Your Majesty !? The number on both the left and right flanks had been greatly reduced . There may be enemies coming to this main army soon . It is better to retreat at once… Guahhh!]
However, it was Zackard’s own sword that closed the mouth of his vassal .
[That’s for saying something stupid… I think it’s better to see what kind of person he is . ]
His own army was definitely collapsing . There were many annoying screams from both the right and left flanks . Nevertheless, Zackard grinned and smiled fiercely .
Then, he picked up his beloved halberd which has a terrifying magical power and straddled his most favorite blue-haired horse-shaped monster .
[Now, it’s getting interesting . Let’s make a visit to that side . ]
As he said so, he went to the center of the enemy army without going to the right or left .
[He is moving . ]
[Yes . It looks like he is heading directly towards us . ]
Darius’s reply is answered by a [Dragon’s Eye] spy .
[As expected . In this situation, I figured that he would be curious about the enemy general’s face and would come charging in . It’s bad for Sigurd, but I’m the one who settled for this . ]
Darius told Sigurd that he would stay in the center, while Sigurd went to assault the enemy’s right flank .
Sigurd was looking at me with suspicion, but in the end, he accepted it and went into the enemy’s right flank . And, as Darius expected, Zackard attacked the center, ignoring the right and left flanks where the unilateral massacre was unfolding .
[Well, his aim may be to take the general’s head . ]
[General… But, there are two generals here, Sigurd-dono and Darius-dono…]
[I doubt that guy knows about it . It’s because he’s heading here now . ]
Darius stood up with a grin .
[Well, let’s welcome him . I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of face he has . ]
Zackard runs through the Margrave Army of Schwarzer, as if running through an uninhabited field .
Even the elite of the Margrave’s army cannot stop his momentum .
Zackard is heading to the center of the enemy . There is no reason but intuition .
But he knows . There is definitely a [being] there . A monster .
There was someone that stood in front of him .
[I won’t let him do anything he wants… I’ll be your opponent!]
The main voice came from Darius’s younger brother, Erhard, who was leading the army .
Watching Ehrhardt… Zackard laughed with his nose .
[Hmph, it’s not this guy . ]
[What are you talking about?]
[…What I mean is you’re not the one that I’m looking for!]
As such, Zackard advanced his beloved horse as if ignoring his existence .
[…Kuh! How dare you to make fun of me!]
Erhard is furious and he stuck his spear at Zackard .
It was at that moment…
[Begone, small fry!]
Zackard’s halberd flashes . Erhard received the blow without any time to prepare .
[Gaha!]
A shock that he had never received before penetrated his whole body . And he was blown to the side with his beloved horse .
[Guha!]
Struck by the ground, Erhard couldn’t breathe . However, he has to be prepared to prevent the second hit .
At that time, when he held his spear with a flickering consciousness…
Zackard already went far away .
From Zackard’s point of view, he was a trivial opponent… he was no different from a soldier .
He is aiming for someone else… There are two people with overwhelming martial arts that he felt on this battlefield .
Zackard repeated the assault, relying solely on intuition, and…
He found it, he thought .
[Are you the general in here?!]
That being said, Zackard aimed his halberd toward the warrior… he swung the halberd down toward Darius .
He knew that overwhelming [violence] was approaching .
Darius straddled Deathscythe and held his beloved spear [Houtenga] under his arm .
[Oh, do you understand it?]
He looked in the direction of the [sign] while calming down the vibrant Deathscythe .
[Hey, let’s sound the gong once again . Don’t get close to him . ]
A bronze rhythm is carved into a certain rhythm . This signal is an instruction to [Do not deal with the enemy general] .
[You don’t have to throw your life for nothing . Cherish your life . ]
Darius left after having said that much and started running forward .
[Well, I’m excited . Let me entertain you!]
In this way, Darius and Zackard… the battle between the warlords who fought a historic match began .
