To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Episode 783: Stolen Heirlooms (5)

While numerous troops are stationed there, on the other side is a modest guard post.

Besides, the only soldier was Wilhelm.

Even if you think simply, it was a military difference that would not be an opponent, but rather it made the allied forces hesitate.

An extraordinary soldier’s skill.

In addition to that, with only one guard post left, not a single ant cub was seen, so they could only think that there was an ambush force.

Allied outpost.

The leaders gathered inside a tent with a red shield picture painted on a white cloth.

“The advance cannot be stopped by a single soldier. Please enforce it.”

“No way. The Lawfield Plain is what you might call a geographic hub. Do you think they will be unprepared?”

“This is over ten thousand! Where can we go to war if we avoid collisions!”

“What are you talking about! You, who should be more vigilant than anyone else, about the military’s declining strength!”

The two opinions were not easily narrowed down.

The man with the blue beard who led the allied knights pounded the round table.

coo-! thud-!

“Now, now, the end of the story will not be in sight. Calm down a little, you two.”

They only moved their fingers slightly, but the two milliners gulped down their saliva as they looked at the round table with deep grooves.

‘It is said that he attained enlightenment in his later years, but that must be true.’

‘Even if it rots, Junchi. Indeed, he is the one who raised up the fallen Countess.’

As the two of them kept their mouths shut, the Marquis, who had been quietly watching them from the seat of honor, thanked them.

“Thank you Count Maxwell.”

“I apologize.”

“It is good to share opinions. But getting overexcited is no longer a virtue of a commander.”

The Marquis, who shook his head and spoke, didn’t look angry, nor did he look happy.

I just took a quick look at the millennials while drinking tea.

“I want you to think so too.”

The atmosphere in the barracks froze in an instant.

Absolute grace flowing from the Marquis.

The millennials who faced it did not dare to open their mouths.

“I have committed a mortal sin!”

“I’m sorry!”

Seeing the two pray for forgiveness with their heads on the ground, the Marquis waved his hand.

“Stop it. Isn’t that what I called you to do? So, what should Earl Maxwell do to cut him off?”

“Saying to quit…”

“You must be familiar with it. He is the one who almost killed the knight you cherish.”

To those words, Earl Maxwell immediately replied as if he didn’t have to think about it.

“I think moving now is absurd. Although the forces of the allied forces are enormous, the Rowfield Plain is a place that is different from their front yard. An ambush would be a headache.”

“Right.”

It’s a dry reaction.

Is there any other answer you want?

The Marquis still spoke with a smile on his face.

“As expected, the count is the person who leads the knights. Since you are not swayed by self-interest, I can trust you and entrust you with the army.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“but.”

The Marquis said, gently putting down the now cooled teacup.

“What I want to hear is your self-interested answer. Could you please answer me?”

The corners of the marquis’ eyes went up slightly.

If he watched it still, it would seem that he would be unable to escape from the mysteriousness, so Maxwell involuntarily turned his head away and avoided his gaze.

It’s self-interest.

The knight whom he thought of as his son almost died immediately.

It would be a lie if the blood didn’t boil.

Maxwell, who made eye contact with the Marquis, slowly told him the answer he wanted.

“If the general will entrust it to me… I will definitely bring you the Lawfield plains into my arms.”

Then the Marquis burst into laughter.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

In that laugh, along with reciprocity, an unknown feeling of displeasure was deeply embedded in it, so the millennials frowned involuntarily.

“I will look forward to you! I will give you one knight and a thousand soldiers, so as soon as the day dawns, conquer the Lawfield plains and return!”

The Count knelt down on one knee.

“As you commanded.”

* * *

The morning was bright.

Wilhelm’s expression hardened as he watched the situation outside through the small window frame at the guard post.

“It has finally come.”

Countless soldiers marching in with flags.

It is indeed a daunting opponent to deal with alone.

Even so, they had already bought enough time for the villagers to evacuate.

He found some comfort in it.

He put on plate armor and left the guard post with a sword at his waist.

As if you’ve been waiting

Earl Maxwell, who was riding on a white horse, greeted me.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Thanks to you, I couldn’t sleep. It must be so noisy.”

“do not worry. You will be able to sleep without a wish.”

He got off his horse and took off his silk gloves.

It was decorated with several brooches and threw it at Wilhelm’s feet.

“Knight Ford Maxwell invites a duel.”

“It’s like an adult interfering with a kid’s fight.”

strong posture.

The well-organized body was telling even through the half-plate armor.

This is a duel in which defeat is predestined.

He picked up the glove.

“Wilhelm van Schneider. I accept that duel.”

“I like one grit. Taking care of your hand is not polite to the other person, so I will do my best from the beginning.”

“What I wished for.”

Scared to finish talking.

As Maxwell spurred the ground, his new form increased, and the sword was within reach before he knew it.

He had expected it in advance, but Wilhelm defended it by gritting his teeth at the power and speed far beyond his own.

Kaaaaang-!

As he swung the bastard sword from bottom to top, Maxwell’s long sword staggered.

But that was it.

He straightened his posture in the blink of an eye and came across the sword again.

The difference in spacing and weight between a bastard sword and a long sword is significant.

Even so, not being pushed back means that there is a difference in swordsmanship.

“Aww!”

Scratching his thigh, Wilhelm was pushed back several steps.

The spirit that makes my legs tremble just by looking at me.

There was a power gap between the two that was difficult to face even though they were wielding it with one hand.

The sword, which had been shattered in two strikes, still trembled.

“Isn’t it over already?”

“no way.”

A sword aura rose between the broken swords.

Maxwell let out a small exclamation as he skillfully overlaid the sword, which was not in perfect condition.

“It doesn’t look very chaffy.”

“It is still too early to be surprised.”

There is no chance of winning by focusing only on defense.

Wilhelm hurriedly lunged at Maxwell before he could get back into position.

“Do something stupid.”

Holding the long sword in reverse, he hit the sword side.

TOOOOOOONG!

A thick cloud of dust rose.

The sword’s sword shattered at once, and Wilhelm vomited blood from the shock.

“Keugh!”

Pieces of intestines spew from the mouth.

When the stomach is severely shaken, the body loses strength.

“Is this the end of what I want to show you?”

what is it now

It is a body that has been prepared for death ever since it was decided to evacuate the villagers.

It’s scary, but if you fall now, only Pom will die.

Wilhelm laughed and stood up.

“You have achieved your goal, so kill me.”

“What is your goal?”

The time when Maxwell was frowning.

coo-!

thud-!

Behind Wilhelm’s back, a large army rushed with the flag of the Kingdom of Silia.

Like knights armed with plate armor, soldiers with high morale.

Enormous troops equal to the combined forces flocked to the middle of the plain.

‘Is this the meaning of what I was aiming for!’

He glared at Wilhelm.

“Advance! Reclaim the Lawfield Plains!”

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

The tide turned in an instant.

* * *

The news that the Allied Forces are moving their soldiers reached the nearby Kingdom of Celia, Baybon, and Gleiman.

Baybon and Gleiman were in the midst of gathering troops.

However, it was surprisingly the kingdom of Celia that started responding first because it was not yet ready for war.

The summoning of a large army made up of the king’s order.

The contingent from the Holy Land had already been pushed back.

Thanks to the summons issued in the former territory, 5,000 troops gathered in one day.

In addition, there were 1,000 adventurers hired by the three knights with money, so a total of 7,500 troops were equipped.

“Advance! Reclaim the Lawfield Plains!”

“Wow!”

A shout like thunder boosted the morale of the soldiers.

Excluding the troops stationed in the plains, there are only about a thousand soldiers here now.

It was impossible to become an opponent.

Earl Maxwell exclaimed urgently.

“It’s an ambush! Full army retreat! Retreat to the barracks!”

It is not easy for one or two soldiers to retreat in an instant with thousands of soldiers.

No matter how well trained I was, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the army, which was eight times the difference between the troops.

The kingdom of Celia did not miss it.

The knights in the lead ran their horses.

“Follow the avant-garde! Don’t let them run away!”

“Wow!”

Celia’s cavalry group seized the ship and slaughtered the fleeing allied forces.

“Retreat!”

“Don’t miss it!”

Orders from each camp were jumbled together.

It didn’t take long for the plain to turn into a sea of blood.

In the end, Maxwell, who led 1,000 men to the post, had to lose half of them, 500.

* * *

Silia’s addition became a major turning point in the war.

Hearing the news from inside the barracks, the Marquis grinned.

“There really was an ambush.”

It’s not something I expected.

Countermeasures were also prepared to some extent.

However, he never imagined that he would have ambushed an army of over 7,000 at the foot of the hill.

Of course, this was a huge misunderstanding by the Allies.

Celia has never set up an ambush.

He just led his army and ran across the plain faster than anyone else.

In addition, Wilhelm, who was guarding the post, wasn’t even a soldier on Celia’s side in the first place.

Naturally, I didn’t think that everything today would be the product of a simple coincidence.

“Thousand Chief.”

“yes.”

The millennium commander who was standing next to him knelt down.

“Ask for assistance from the Allies. Ten thousand men cannot pierce them.”

“yes? But…”

“Are you doubting my judgment?”

As the cold eyes came toward him, the Cheoninjang swallowed his breath and shook his head.

“Could that be? However, if Captain Maxwell and the Marquis stepped forward, I thought that only their troops would be able to deal with them…” “

War is not all about one person’s armed forces. Even if there is a mage from the 6th circle in the camp, now is not the time to fight.”

At those words, the thousand chief shut his mouth.

Two master level personnel.

If that doesn’t work, I’ve said it all.

“All right.”

A huge cloud of war hovered around the Lawfield Plain.
