Raon swung his sword and let out a low breath.
Out of sight, I can feel the undead chanting the hymn of death turning around.
As more than a thousand undead legions stepped forward at the same time, a huge tremor occurred in the ground.
thud! thud! Coo!
The sound of footsteps and vibrations full of fraud cut through the fog.
An uncountable number of undead legions appeared, as if the zombies and skeletons that had melted into the Flame Dragon a moment ago were not even the vanguard.
There were only zombies and skeletons, but there were so many of them that my mouth naturally fell open.
‘It’s endless.’
The Gwangpungdan, Hwangjeondae, and Rangers shook off their tension and fear, but it looked like they were going to be scared again.
As Raon was wondering what to do, Buren’s voice came from behind.
“Hey, Budanju.”
Burren lifted his trembling lips and made a soft smile.
“How many times do I have to say this! “It’s not a rabid dog, it’s a tempest!”
He shook his head to stop being confused.
“That kid is doing that on purpose.”
Marta took a step forward and frowned.
“Because of that damn bastard, I too am called Nachalnyeo!”
“It’s not? “Is it because of Martha’s personality?”
“shut up!”
Marta waved her arm at Runan, who retorted. Her hands no longer trembled.
“Raon.”
Runaan took a step away from Marta and then turned her head to Raon.
“After we’re done, let’s go to the bead ice cream shop. “They said a new flavor has come out.”
She blinked fiercely, as if she hadn’t been nervous from the beginning.
-New flavor?
“In the meantime, ice cream… .”
“I heard that real vice-captains and captains are not nervous.”
“But isn’t a rabid dog okay? “Do I look cooler than the frenzy?”
“Is the crazy dog cool? “You would say that Nachalnyeo is also cool.”
“That’s scary.”
The Gwangpungdan members also chatted with smiles. Even after seeing the enormous number of undead troops, he seemed not to feel any pressure.
“There is no need to be scared!”
Wendy Arian raised her fist as she looked at the Yellow Swordsman and the Rangers.
“No one knows them better than us! Make it impossible for you to even touch this land!”
At her cry, a clear light appeared in the eyes of the Hwangjeon Sword Team and the rangers.
“That’s right!”
“There are only zombies and skeletons anyway!”
“They’re the ones we’ve been fighting against our whole lives!”
“Let’s do it!”
As everyone became one and strengthened their resolve, a powerful military spirit arose that could not be defeated by the morale caused by the undead.
-There was no need to worry.
Lars poked his cheek and grinned.
‘That’s right. I ignored them too much.’
Raon smiled and his voice carried an aura.
“Everyone ready for battle!”
“Ready for battle!”
Gwangpungdan’s eyes are filled with bright yellow madness, and Hwangjeondae’s fingertips are filled with sincere energy.
The rangers also raised their bows and flashed hawk-like eyes.
thud! thud! thud!
Zombies and skeletons came without siege weapons to destroy the castle or ladders to climb the walls. The intention was to break through with quantity.
‘In a normal battlefield, they would call me stupid. but… .’
It’s an effective enough method for them.
‘Because the walls are weak and there are plenty of corpses.’
As the swamp of death disappears, the walls of the Aryan family are higher than before.
The guy who summoned the undead is trying to build a staircase to climb this castle wall by piling up the corpses of zombies and skeletons.
The undead have strong morale, so just touching them causes cracks in the old and weakened castle walls.
To win this war, you must defeat the undead army before it approaches the castle walls.
Raon raised his hand as he saw the approaching zombies and skeletons.
Yikes!
The sounds of rangers setting arrows on bowstrings and swordsmen activating auras were heard.
The moment the zombie and skeleton came within the range of the arrow, they stretched their hands forward.
“Shoot!”
“Shoot!”
Wendy Arian repeated her name and swung her sword.
Piaaaaa!
In an instant, more than a hundred bowstrings were released, and silvery-white rainwater filled the sky.
Bababababaak!
Cheolwoo falling in a parabolic curve swept away zombies and skeletons. There were many undead who died in one hit, but there were also a significant number of those who did not die.
The rangers fired arrows at the protest again and snapped their fingers. Another arrow filled the air and pierced the malice of the zombies and skeletons.
Arrows imbued with strong power rained down like a shower, but because so many were approaching, there were many undead that approached through the rain of arrows.
Raon looked at Gwangpungdan and Hwangjeondae and raised his sword.
“Blow the sword wind while sparing the Aurors as much as possible. “If you aim for the head, even a thin breeze can kill them.”
He drew the Jecheon Sword, which was stained red, as if he were drawing down a brush. The flower petals that bloomed from the heated sword body spread in the wind and rained down on the horde of undead approaching the castle wall.
Hwaaaaa!
The pieces of flame that flowed like cherry blossoms became a flame barrier and erased the undead.
Gooooooo!
The morale on the castle walls was once again boosted by the magical swordsmanship.
“Make it so they can’t even access it!”
Burren stomped his foot and struck down his sword. Even though the aura was reduced to a minimum, the spreading wind had an eerie sharpness.
Sigh!
The undead approaching from the right fell with their bodies cut in half.
“Bone bastards! “I’ll worry about everything!”
Martha grits her teeth and lowers her sword. She endured her frustration and performed only sword techniques that required the least amount of aura, but her strength was so great that five undead were crushed with one single strike.
“The enemy of ice cream.”
Runaan slides out his sword. Young frost spread across the blade and froze the feet of the undead in her lead.
Soft, knock, knock!
The undead that had stopped walking blocked their path, and the zombies bared their teeth and began to fight each other.
“Let’s go too!”
The Gwangpungdan also clung to the castle wall and struck down the sword wind.
Even though the battle is getting longer, not a single drop of sweat flows from the forehead.
Raon nodded, feeling rewarded for giving him the elixir and training him in hell.
“Anyone whose Aura has fallen should step back and recover their stamina before coming back.”
Raon let out a thin smile as he blew a sword wind at the endless influx of undead.
“Because this war won’t end in one day.”
* * *
Frica flicked the bowstring.
Piaaaang!
The arrow fell in a parabolic curve and passed through the heads of zombies and skeletons. They fell to the ground with their heads crushed.
“Huh… .”
I’m out of breath. She can’t even remember how many arrows she fired. I simply threw the arrows in the quiver, and when the quiver was empty, I filled it again and again.
“Ugh… .”
I tried to put an arrow on the bowstring again, but my middle finger felt like it was going to tear.
I have continued to practice archery, but I have never fired arrows in succession for such a long period of time, so it was only natural.
Frica bit her lip, changed the position of her fingers, and fired the arrow again.
As if it was worth holding on to the bow, the arrow pierced the skeleton’s head exactly as it was aimed.
Exhausted, I gave strength to my shaking knees and looked to the side. A day passed and the sun began to set again, but the hordes of zombies and skeletons continued to approach.
Everyone, regardless of leader or team member, was exhausted and the speed at which they fired arrows slowed down, and the swordsmen also lost strength and their swords shook.
Nevertheless, none of the prosecutors or rangers laid down their weapons. Even though he was tired, he didn’t stop drawing his sword and shooting his bow.
There is one reason why they are forced to endure.
‘Raon Sieghardt.’
Frica lifted her gaze and saw the back of the man standing in front of the castle wall.
‘Because that person is holding on.’
Raon was at the forefront, wiping out more undead than anyone else.
To be honest, Raon alone probably defeated more undead than the Rangers, Gwangpungdan, and Hwangjeondae all defeated.
‘You do that to me, but I can’t give up. and… .’
I saw Wendy Arian swinging a sword next to Raon.
‘Even that person.’
To be honest, I thought Wendy’s will was great, but I didn’t think her strength was that great.
Even though he was a master, he didn’t have much practical experience, so I didn’t have high expectations.
However, Wendy cut down so many undead that she could not be defeated by Raon, and raised the morale of the castle walls by cutting them again.
He was the only swordsman in Aryan who tried to protect the will of his family.
‘Somehow I feel like I can win.’
Looking at Raon and Wendy’s strong backs, it seemed like they could withstand the onslaught of the undead army just as this family had changed.
Frika placed a string on her bloody finger and flicked the arrow.
Piaaaaa!
A refreshingly fired arrow cut through the darkness and smashed the undead’s head.
* * *
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sinking sun.
‘It’s really endless.’
Even the sun had a set time to rise, but there was no end to the advance of the undead.
‘No, is this just the beginning?’
-That’s right. There’s still a long way to go.
Beyond the wall of zombies and skeletons, guys with stronger morale were approaching.
‘It’s probably a higher species of ghoul and skeleton.’
They were coming faster, chewing on zombies and skeletons.
Raon looked down the castle wall.
‘It’s a hill of corpses…’ .’
Skeletons and zombies fell without being able to reach the castle wall, creating a hill of corpses in front of the castle.
However, in the future it will not be as easy to prevent as it is now. From now on, we had to be prepared for casualties.
“Dorian.”
“yes… .”
Dorian approached Raon’s gesture. He must have been exhausted, too, and his round face was half-faced.
“You sent that, right?”
“yes. But as I said before, there is no guarantee that it will arrive. There is a possibility that problems may arise in the middle.”
Dorian shook his head, not sure what would happen.
“are you okay. “I’ll go to a few of them.”
Raon nodded and touched the ring on his finger.
‘If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to use this.’
I received the ring from Chamber, but I learned how to use it from Rimmer. This incident. No, it was the last bastion of Gwangpungdan.
I sighed softly and approached Wendy Arian.
“Lord Hwangjeon.”
“yes!”
Wendy was smiling even though she was exhausted. She looked much more lively than when she was doing paperwork.
“If any of the officers you have imprisoned are willing to participate in the battle, please bring them with you.”
“yes? Why them… .”
“Admiral Lee. Sometimes even dirty things can be helpful.”
Some executives, including Vainder, would be helpful in battle, so it was right to use them rather than leaving them as insectivores.
Raon turned around and saw Gwangpungdan, Ranger, and Hwangjeondae.
“Everyone, take a two-hour break and then come back. “This will probably be my last rest.”
“What about Raon?”
Runaan immediately raised his head.
“Because I can recover while fighting. are you okay.”
Raon was the only one here who could fight even a little and recover.
“But how can you leave Lord Budan alone!”
“okay! “You’re still overdoing it.”
“Rest half and half… .”
Raon did not respond but struck down the Gwanga sword filled with Glacia’s cold energy.
Hwaaaaa!
The floor turned silver, and all the zombies and skeletons that were approaching were frozen.
Sigh!
When he snapped his fingers, the frozen undead shattered and the spewing ice fragments turned other undead into hedgehogs.
“Who is worrying about whom?”
Raon gestured as if shooing away a fly.
“This is an order. “I don’t have time, so hurry up and get some rest.”
* * *
When the sun completely set and night fell, the rangers and swordsmen returned. Several executives, including Bainder, were also present, as if they had accepted the offer.
However, even though everyone had recovered their stamina and aura, their expressions were not good. In fact, his face was paler than when he came down the castle wall.
Raon nodded while looking at their reactions.
‘I guess it can’t be helped.’
Because from now on you will know that it is real.
The number of zombies and skeletons has decreased, but higher-ranking ghouls and skeleton warriors are approaching with terrifying morale.
Wow!
In the black sky, strangely shaped ghosts flew around, and on both sides, Dullahan wearing black armor and riding a black horse ran wild, and a Spatoy called Dragon Soldier also rose from the darkness.
Lastly, the chimera undead, which are said to be made by combining corpses, appeared.
Raon chewed his lips as he looked at the real undead army overflowing with the energy of death.
‘This won’t be easy.’
Although swordsmen and rangers fought on top of the wall, and residents under the wall did their best to assist, there was no guarantee that the wall would not be breached.
‘I guess I’ll have to do it though.’
I slowly raised my hand.
“Everyone ready for battle!”
“Ready for battle!”
The Rangers, Gwangpungdan, and Hwangjeondae stood at the end of the castle wall again. They raised their bows and swords while their hands trembled, exhausted by the deathly energy unleashed by the undead.
The undead did not rush in recklessly like zombies and skeletons. They were in good order and slowly approaching.
thud! thud! Coo!
Even the sound of steps sounds much heavier than before. It seemed like the people around me could hear their hearts pounding loudly.
Duung!
When Raon lowered his hand to let the arrow fly, the undead army suddenly stopped.
The center of the undead army gathered like a swarm of ants split, and a Death Knight with green glow in his empty eyeballs walked out.
“Sieghardt and the Aryan man.”
The Death Knight’s jaw opened and a strange voice that seemed to come from the deep sea came out.
“I propose a one-on-one duel.”
With those words, a Spatoy the size of a rock, a Dullahan, and two Death Knights walked out behind the Death Knight.
“uh?”
Raon widened his eyes.
‘Undead one-on-one duel?’
Before a full-scale war, there are cases where executive-level soldiers engage in one-on-one duels to raise the morale of allies.
What those undead were talking about right now sounded like that duel.
“Well, that one now… .”
“Are you asking to have a one-on-one duel with us?”
“Uh, undead?”
“crazy… .”
The Gwangpungdan’s hands trembled in surprise that the undead were not talking enough and were asking to have a one-on-one duel like humans.
“Yes, before… .”
Wendy Ariane came up next to me.
“I heard something like this happened.”
“If it was in the past… .”
“yes. “There was a record of the undead challenging one-on-one duels during the war fought by Sieghart and the first head of Aryan.”
She swallowed dryly, saying that the undead approaching now were like the monsters back then.
“Right.”
Raon smiled slightly. As I initially thought, it seems that the one who summoned those undead was the Arch Lich that Sieghart’s ancestor had dealt with.
‘Are you trying to overturn history?’
It seemed like they wanted revenge on their descendants a thousand years from now.
“What happened to that one-on-one duel in the records?”
“I heard that five people from Sieghardt and Ariane went out and won five times.”
“also.”
It occurred to me that the man who founded Sieghart would have had a battle in which he had no choice but to win.
“Who’s going out?”
“Of course Raon has to go.”
“Because it’s the last time. “There’s no need to say it.”
“Then Sir Mark and Emperor Hwangjeon also have to leave, so there are only two seats?”
“Then me!”
“no. it’s me.”
The prosecutors on the podium began talking about who would leave. Of course, Runaan, Marta, and Burren fought each other to leave.
Raon jumped from the castle wall before they finished speaking.
“Raon?”
“It hasn’t been decided yet!”
“You crazy guy! “What if you go alone?”
Runaan, Buren, and Marta called out, but they approached the undead army without looking back.
“Are you the vanguard?”
The green-eyed Death Knight who had challenged him to a duel twisted his chin.
“no.”
Raon smiled coldly and shook his head. He raised his manga ball’s energy and placed his hand on the sword.
“I am the vanguard and the leader.”
I stepped forward and pulled out my sword. At the same time as the sword was struck, a wave of blooming flames rose along the horizon.
Cartoon Ball Baekhwa.
No salt damage.
A red line was drawn on the necks of not only the high-ranking undead who came out for a one-on-one duel, but also the undead who were guarding the battle line behind them.
Quaaaaaaa!
A huge wave of flame erupted across the red line, sweeping away all the undead in front.
“Don’t mention dueling on the fishy topic of undead.”
Raon lowered the flaming Jecheon Sword and shed a cold smile.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .
Kiuuu… .
As if even the most evil undead didn’t know that they would ruin the duel, the battle line behind them began to collapse.
-Wow.
Lars jumped out with a gasp.
-What kind of personality is this guy… .
The guy gaped, asking if this was really a human being.
‘They started it first.’
I didn’t like the idea of sending a wave of the swamp to push them all away and now pretending it was just.
“Uh… .”
“Can I do that?”
“A personality that even freaks out monsters… .”
“Gwangpungdan. No, he’s like the master of the Mad Dogs.”
“Raon, great!”
The Gwangpungdan also trembled their chins as if they were fed up rather than cheering.
Despite using cowardly moves in the one-on-one duel, the morale of the castle walls rose to its highest level ever.
It was when Raon was satisfied and was about to go back. A huge force surged from the edge of the land of death.
Kaaaaaa!
A roar full of malice. A cry full of dark energy, like the martial arts dragon sound of the Beast League, flew towards the Aryan family. It was the lion’s cry, performed by the best undead.
Raon used Glacia and drew the requiem sword.
Crackle!
The bright yellow Yogi’s blade rising as it cut its sheath let out a groan of resentment.
Quaaaaa!
The hemorrhoids stretched out and caught the malice of the lion’s cry and pulled it down.
Wow!
As soon as Raon erased the lion’s cry, he lowered his raised hand as if it was piercing the sky.
Piaaaaa!
Silver arrows and sword winds poured down on the battlefield, accompanied by a strong sound of the explosion. The undead army, whose command system had collapsed, collapsed without even having a chance to prepare its defenses.
Raon’s sharp blue eyes shined as he watched the barrage of arrows sweeping away the undead army.
“I’m sorry, but history repeats itself.”
