Chapter 147: Crash (2)
K8kSounds that I couldn’t distinguish if they were screams or buzzing echoed in my ears.PADD
eE5pSomeone’s limbs were scattered here and there.XT4z5ZS
jVvA soldier who couldn’t bear death cried as he picked up the internal organs spilling out.85TKTkU
Qhq“What is this…”Jl6
2taOv6FStephen felt as if he were walking through a dream as he watched the scene unfolding before him.qomQ7
AxZAThis can’t be happening.ovimxg8
59c6Until recently, we were confident in victory.fS0jKk
cMRYD“Come to your senses!”7Sn
CJMryMvA sudden tug on the collar.Cbzw
2dMOnly then could Stephen shake off his strange floating sensation as a voice pierced through his deaf ears.llXAZ
IeNNIt was Godin, the knight commander.NfR2q
8QZH2l4“We need to move! It’s not over yet!”Jw2xE8a
TfiHe could feel the force suppressing the chaos in Godin’s eyes, shining brighter than ever.RCnaW
jDeYT1jGodin’s drive usually felt like poison, but in the current situation, it actually became a boon for Stephen.8uvHm
E1NkBe“Yes… that’s right. It’s not over yet.”pMv8E
XEVv3It was only then that Stephen, meeting Godin’s eyes, could catch his breath and look out onto the battlefield.V1fzW
MEyAs he said, it definitely wasn’t over yet.ye1
mm7Oi9oOn the battlefield, his father still shouted loudly and prepared his formation.gTwBE
eg6Y“Hurry up and stay on the right wall! Don’t be foolish and get hit by arrows!”W0VkMN
jQsBayezid’s cavalry suddenly attacked.Dxh
3pJThey took whatever they wanted with their first charge, but Gaidar had not yet fallen.Ezzaas
Zq9C9cP“Wagner! Lead the cavalry! Drive those madmen away!”Y2kLh
qqR“Alright!”Dvf
UmyhWMAlthough he was a knight who lost his banner, everyone had to do their part in a situation like this.5zN
HzbXnvIWagner quickly gathers the cavalry and separates from the main unit.8QK5j2
LASfYqAnd Sigmund moves his formation toward the right wall they occupied.zLAXbn
uO3KRutiger, who was catching his breath for the second assault, bit his lip as he watched Gaidar’s army resolve the confusion faster than expected.hJov6A
noxj“Stephen, you stupid son! Didn’t you understand what I said?”4svW
lapOnly when Sigmund shouted his name could Stephen return to his normal gaze.PXrae58
Ril0HHhHis actions are frivolous and light, but his qualities as a monarch are true.BmV9wl
jP0EXx“They don’t listen to my orders to set fire to the combat sieges!”iFBPlm
EuIqYfStephen, suddenly regaining his senses at Sigmund’s shout, looked at the charred gates of Deirmar.CcGjq
N3lw6ySeveral siege weapons were scattered about.Eyj
b3cNUntil recently, they had been used to capture the castle gate, but now they were used to block the exit of the Hainal army.6GXx
mOHVvm“Your squad follows me! Take all your oil and torches!”3fxSu
SrRvEven now, Bayezid’s eyes, staring at them head-on, are fierce.VwDwh
t4nAjHowever, the person more worrisome than them is Deirmar, who has no choice but to be placed right at the end of the formation.47l
xSc“Damn it!”NFTLM
uurBePBayezid and Hainal are completely trapped between the two.oLP
HvSTo overcome this situation, they must step forward.YQ0pn4
78eKThe walls of Deirmar, which had been struck so forcefully, had already lost their function, so it would be pointless to break through them.HTJ
kUNpcL“Light it quickly!”TzG
Yctt89The carts and siege towers begin to burn one by one according to Stephen’s instructions.EiWFJa
md0gDkAs soon as the massive bodies began to ignite, black smoke began to block the gates of Deirmar.pyetAEK
Lzja6“Done!”wfDj
nOlAs he watched the roaring flames, Stephen’s face began to turn red.yFZ8e
rwhGiWith this level of obstacles and fire, no matter how much you open the door, you won’t be able to rush through immediately.vLA51
x5uIt would probably take several hours to remove the scattered siege machines, and that was enough time to buy.RbaB
rnmXNONow Gaidar’s army only has to deal with Bayezid in front of them.dMTEOnN
qdDEEcY“…!”IvC
ToVaHowever, at that moment, Stephen’s shoulders shuddered due to the sudden force he felt.iyo
Q4iq“Damn it.”CiOT2L
TghbyA cold presence was felt behind the castle gate.7BzGOl
zfOhyMIt was so quiet it seemed sinister, as if someone were lurking behind the iron gates of Deirmar.g4U
n17Hn“This bastard…”OvYthA
pm2Obviously, he couldn’t hear it, but he could feel it.oaIwdL6
CvmThe signal that someone is slowly catching their breath behind the gate.qqer9R
bJzTThe unforgettable duel of that day was slowly emerging in Stephen’s mind.CJfCb
uJNDY***r6Fh38f
xOrwGYSoldiers descending the narrow stairs, leaning on each other.YIzb
5CYrcThe stairs, which had been deliberately designed to be narrow for fear that the castle walls would collapse, held the soldiers’ ankles and slowed their movements.43XB
cDXHowever, despite the slow retreat, they were able to reach the ground safely thanks to a knight still behind the soldiers.5oQf
T95“Ha…”5Gr
Zii46Bayezid’s Knight. Vlad de Soara.mvfU
KBzThe once beautiful blonde hair was now dyed bright red here and there, showing the fierceness he had maintained until now.q0j64
wAaI4However, if there was one thing that couldn’t be taken off him, it was those blue eyes that shone alone.kdchQ0
JA5OrFaDespite being completely soaked in blood, it was the only thing that retained its original color.jmzHMCv
LTDXFTs“Come again, bastards.”xUU
wLZNfThe end of his halting words echoed like the growl of a beast.qxmUO
eBWSGgBut knowing it wasn’t a simple threat but a sharp warning, Gaidar’s knights gritted their teeth.XlF
Qxy“That crazy bastard.”ql8cr
7aL5C“Leave that guy. Let’s not waste our strength here.”s4J
nQ8nWOGaidar’s knights began to retreat slowly, as if tired of the sound.9X3kr
MFCF4It was as if they were moving to open the way and let them go, but somewhere in their steps, there was a sense of helpless defeat.2vhz
pbrbIt was a path of bright red blood that seemed to continue endlessly along the castle wall, but behind Vlad, the ground was completely exposed.xw08JZ
abgSxAs if he had cut off the head of a snake, the young knight had cut the bloody path.aSfFjC
g1kE“Sir Vlad. Everyone has retreated.”g8ob
rXLEfDq“…Good.”0fPfU
iRskVlad looked back and confirmed that all the soldiers had retreated as Stephan had said.N4Lp
laT“Let’s go.”p43lao
XrzVlad and Stephan slowly step back as they watch Gaidar’s knights.I6tW7
ZsdClearly, he was fighting, but he couldn’t hold out any longer.uWqIZ1F
KCpBmThe right wall of Deirmar was already crowded with Gaidar’s soldiers, and even now, the knights who had fixed on a bright blue day were staring at him.s94u
u0s“Be careful.”Ikh0gM
AN4YHuJVlad looked at the knights in front of him without even blinking and slowly descended the stairs, relying on Stephan.iO4s
OX5A strange distance is created between Vlad and Gaidar’s knights.HLeUbaC
vALqtHowever, although it was Vlad who was stepping back now, the expression of relief was beginning to emerge from Gaidar’s knights.ZRSN9AJ
CrHe‘Gaidar…’eHK
fK8sJjAs Vlad slowly descended the stairs, his eyes filled with the flag waving above.T1xO
dPvI0wHA flag with the eagle of Gaidar, not the tree of Hainal, engraved on it.JCBDJ2z
eduTvSeeing the target of revenge so close that he could no longer avoid it, Vlad silently strengthened his determination.9PDGQBP
GDrtr“Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?”Z0OFc
4SbAfter escaping from the castle walls, Vlad and Stephan quickly ran toward the reserve unit behind them.sv7r
NxRGPT9As Vlad approached, voices of praise began to be heard gradually.d3fM6
O89OHoKAs soon as the soldiers of Hainal, who had collapsed from exhaustion in various places, saw Vlad, they began to rise with their heavy bodies.1DHSKpw
TuG2no“I’m fine.”DwSfUNq
t01hXVlad wiped the blood from his face with the towel Jager gave him, then turned his head to the blue eyes staring at him in front of him.nmY
LM6sW“Because it was something I had to do.”iBN6VvR
fiCdjwYHis pursed lips seemed as strong as his neatly tied hair .5il
WdPxoHowever, his worried gaze was something that couldn’t be helped.JCq3c
MMZ1PxnVlad, who had a keen ear, remembered a faint voice shouting from afar, telling him to hurry down.GAcFG6
J1OSz5“Good job. Now rest.”3Y8K5
P7sHJoseph said many words as he hugged Vlad’s blood-stained shoulder.G05lgG
RTrP0The person who watched Vlad’s struggles on the castle wall with more anxiety than anyone would have been Joseph.J5t
k2ekb“I’ll go.”WUMD
5fg3LAY“…Don’t be stubborn.”bQRN
P9x“Please let me follow you. Didn’t you promise me?”6ci
28ZHowever, Vlad didn’t sheathe his sword, as if he didn’t want to receive Joseph’s consideration.Fhe
cHHsA solid red line still dripped along the length of the sword.3UDxTFM
42jIimVlad’s trembling shoulders, as well as his ragged breath, showed his condition, but he couldn’t stop there.etS
OFSBu“You said you would send me with Godin, didn’t you? That was our promise.”bSQ
SFyZF“…”F6UFGd
aUViIeThe time promised by both had come.oUmZo
RwaqIAyThe young knight was closer than ever to the blue moon and now confidently demanded his rights.Ly1f
tD9mD“If. It certainly was.”ffnM
8ZLFNJoseph remembered it clearly.6QiOO
MOwRYou have faith, and I have honor.0Ni7
woy6ZSo, if the opportunity arises and the qualifications, I will create a space for you to be able to seek revenge.RNMM
qxVABecause that was the condition imposed for seven years.jolH
YKH“I promise. I won’t act recklessly this time.”Pgm
uiaVlad wasn’t just asking for it.5CS
Mj6rtYE“Even if I stand in front of Godin, I will prioritize my responsibilities and duties as a knight.”GMch
Bm0iyMZI have made many mistakes so far, but I hope that this time you trust me.tSGjj
T9dgPBecause I know who I am and what I must do.tqdmDa8
6SfUVlad, taking on the responsibility of being a knight, could no longer be a child who only thought of revenge.OXfR
BaPOHp“I won’t ruin this war with my personal grudges.”ML3UX8g
NL4o1DL“…”zR4G
dzgIZDuty adds weight to life, and weight makes it more serious.p5QB
X5lDMUjJoseph could only nod as he watched the boy, of whom only traces remained.FLJinYc
89W“It’s alright.”FIc4E
XlwJoseph ignored Alicia’s piercing gaze as she approached him from behind and gestured to Noir to bring him.hvP
esdDOc“I trust you. The trust you’ve shown me all this time was clearly sincere.”gRmJa
ltS4GfDThe reason Joseph didn’t let go of Vlad despite numerous mistakes was not simply because he coveted his talent.BCly0yK
5uJEven as a child, Vlad was clearly a man trying to keep his word.Gltl9
ZLA1No matter how big and unbearable those words were.pvN8
YSwtJoseph appreciated Vlad’s sincerity.CuF
4SO37“You must not lose yourself to any anger. To lose oneself means to lose the way forward.”CaFy
LipQkONoir’s whinnies start to approach from afar.YvltWD
ZINRHowever, the reason we can’t take our eyes off Joseph is probably because the words he conveys contain many things.b68hhYR
uDcnG“Gaidar blocked the door. The path we have ahead is narrow, and there will be no one to help you.”oer
MOx2F“Alright.”b9iQD
PPfAVlad finally looked away from Joseph’s eyes and looked at the tightly closed gates of Deirmar.AYT9Ay7
eLzyzhsThe pitiful castle gate was about to burst in several places because we did our best.Mokf
HwcGOHowever, to move forward to a wider world, they would eventually have to venture out of the safety of the walls.J51JZhT
fyNg“Go. Go ahead and show our strength.”dAU
Ax8The gate begins to open slowly following Joseph’s orders.YZeU
Et7What was visible through the narrow gap in the gate was only an obstacle in several places, but even so, Vlad could clearly see the path he had to take.1RD90
EvR9nA path appears through my deeply closed left eye.gjDj
ToMBecause the traces left by August showed the direction Vlad had to take.mI6LN
FNzWX“Then I’ll be back.”rOf
sBtIf there’s a way, there’s no reason to hesitate.l56p7
E4x29XVlad, trapped in a closed world, was a person ready to break through even the narrowest gap.F7yPsxK
Q3SpBeyond the red flames and black smoke, Vlad’s blue eyes began to gaze out from the castle gate.YvPM3a
cx0MYpE***9D4q5K3
ft74O“This is insane!”xekDwR
Uwbe45lStephen looked at the scene in front of him and cursed inadvertently.DJK5HCT
jHbygnUA blue perch burned silently beyond the black smoke.C7D5tT
aVLABecause that position was now running towards me without hesitation.rsGp
sww“Stop! Stop!”dLRF0q3
wm1XwThe gates of Deirmar were only half-opened, as if something had been damaged by the harsh offensive.BXU6wk
XMAxHowever, even if it’s just that much, it will be enough to overcome the short-term crisis.cYxe
BuBFor the boy from the dark alley, an opening like this was nothing short of a blessing.Z5Z
M2aT“That guy is running!”1xZHOj1
fSDggUi“You can’t get through anyway! Just one or two obstacles!”Uhx9N
LtEgK9ULined-up siege carts ablaze.jMkCi5
X4CkFzNo matter how skilled a rider he may be, he won’t be able to overcome these obstacles.klEkg4P
kqYStephen, who knew this well, kept his eyes wide open, waiting for the moment when Vlad would stop.94REE
t05INeigh!pdG
2fAHowever, the black prairie horse was a spiritual creature that defied common sense.1Hy5CWm
iLoNoir, who perfectly recognized Vlad’s path through the worlds they faced, ran forward without the slightest hesitation, cutting through the fire and invisible smoke.AQEFJZ
bY1x3tM“Oh my god.”STN
rw8U4Stephen opened his mouth stunned as he watched Vlad leap over his head.APo3c
VKldtA knight whose sword was taken away.TtAygn
JemNqk1Vlad had been showing his teeth until now, but now he was looking beyond them.Z2I
IevptD“Let’s go! Noir!”AbEaG2
YvDv7Neigh!TsEWzb
wPN8VrPThe blue moonlight reminiscent of flowed through my deeply closed left eye.jKgIbB
oBmQPiNo matter how painful the wound, it cannot be denied that it is the foundation of Vlad’s world.PHsCbWq
P78L6lFThe world of the knights he first encountered at the bonfire. And for that, he lost his home.PN1r
1Q0B5lVlad, who had been repeating these words over and over until now, finally obtained the right to fully utter the name Moonlight.Cj4
sVq“Go, Dean! Godin, Knight of Gaidar!”FecYJeY
aeHdtVlad and Noir run through Gaidar’s still unformed formation, cutting down the soldiers in their way.Amd
lupEveryone in Gaidar turned around as the knight suddenly appeared from behind.WXdu8N
n61“I’m here! You’re a knight who didn’t pay a fair price!”dM9Fh
SfYpPzVlad advances alone through the towering waves.AQ8tX
YOMqrUGodin’s fleeting gaze was looking at Vlad as if he couldn’t believe it.zO0Vdx
EKj“Retract this, you son of a bitch!”CvbWaQ
QUryAlthough I still can’t fully reach him.poDo
2P4pMBut now the blue moonlight sees me.fTnR38s

MlcA knight only accepts a fair price.0Fp1Uhr
gTTeL2But Vlad, when he was a child, didn’t accept the false reward offered to him.6wxfJW

n8F1L0BThat day, a piece of beef jerky spilled over Vlad’s head and ended up in his hand again.iJt65Q
8nuGodin smiled helplessly as he looked at the black lump flying directly towards him.jBYo
XbaeS4O“Get out of the way!”AyR
tTOVlad cut directly through Gaidar’s army formation and headed towards Bayezid.mq3YQcn
IKnYMPWA gap in the formation split straight like the tracks of an arrow.NxM1t1
