The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 179

Episode 179:

On a small hill about 50 meters high.

Raoul and the knights were looking around the surrounding terrain on horseback.

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be any different from the information. “It’s a precisely symmetrical terrain.”

Pierce said as he unlocked the [Long-distance reconnaissance (B)] skill.

“It’s a completely public mock battle, but if you go this far, you’ve said everything you need to say.”

Even though the Leslie Kingdom was a magical kingdom, the Wizards Association itself was not affiliated with the Leslie Kingdom.

If you are completely swayed by the influence of just one Skyler Magic Tower, you will have to take down the name of the association.

The terrain of the battlefield seen from the hill was complex yet simple.

A large forest spread out below the hill they were on, and a wide plain began where the forest ended.

Although it was a plain, it looked strange, as if various types of terrain had been gathered together.

A place where a gravel field spreads around a shallow stream.

A place where long reed fields block the view.

A place where a stream suddenly widens and becomes a river.

There were even sandy beaches and mud flats.

“Anyway, wizards. It’s really useless. “The battlefield has been decided anyway.”

Jake shrugged and looked in one direction.

In the middle of the battlefield.

There was literally a long wasteland with nothing in it.

There were no obstacles, as if telling me to run here.

“For wizards who use the power of nature, it would be advantageous to have relevant terrain nearby. “If it were a mock battle between magic towers, other places would have been useful as well.”

After receiving the topographical information from Director Dario, Raul also wondered if there might be a place he could use.

But in the end, the choice was a boring wasteland.

‘Because it will have more impact that way.’

I don’t know what they think, but for Raoul, today’s battle was a kind of warning.

First Guild and what kind of power does Raoul have?

How the world is changing while they are eating away at their own lives.

‘Take this opportunity to feel it deeply.’

Otherwise, the Kingdom of Leslie will suffer miserably in the next gate wave and imperial invasion that will come sooner or later.

There was also a purpose to use this opportunity to increase the value of the First Guild in the Kingdom of Leslie.

“Everyone prepare to march. Proceed as planned. Let’s make it clear who these fools dare to argue with!”

“yes! “I will crush you so that you can’t even make eye contact.”

Philip said, putting his fist to his chest.

“Ugh. A battle wizard! “I feel like my blood is boiling for the first time in a long time.”

“When you go into battle, doesn’t your blood always boil and you go wild?”

“Hmm. “Isn’t that fighting spirit? Fighting spirit!”

“Anyway, this time, if you run amok and retire, I won’t let you go.”

When Philip scolded Jake for what he said, he looked at Raoul as if it was unfair, but Raoul just smiled and turned his head away.

“Oh really. “You’re saying we’ll do it right this time?”

Raoul and the others went down the hill, leaving Jake grumbling behind.

For today’s battle, Raoul gathered elites.

Not only top experts, including Philip Jake Pierce Kane, but also most executives and armor users participated in the battle.

And today, there were personnel who were deployed to the battlefield for the first time.

Raoul was secretly looking forward to seeing what kind of performance they would show.

* * *

Polygonal Polygonal.

The 250 knights marched slowly through the forest.

And in the middle of the knights’ formation, wizards were walking while being heavily protected.

“Whew…”

A young wizard who appeared to be in his 30s let out a long sigh, probably nervous.

No matter how much he walked surrounded by reliable knights, it didn’t seem to be able to relieve his anxiety ahead of the battle.

“Are you worried?”

“Oh! “Oh no.”

When Perido tower owner asked, the young wizard waved his hand in denial, but his expression did not look like that at all.

Perido could only lightly pat him on the back and encourage him.

Because he was unable to properly lead the tower, these young wizards had no choice but to be sent into battle.

Thanks to this, the young wizard’s complexion slightly returned, as if he had calmed down a bit.

But his expression still wasn’t bright.

“Can we win?”

There was anxiety in his eyes.

“After all, the opponent is the Skyler Magic Tower, right? And our allies are full of knights who are not wizards, but there are also strange people mixed in.”

As he said, among the 50 wizards, there were many people who could not be considered wizards at all.

Although he was wearing a robe, he was dressed in armor that was not much different from that of knights on horseback.

Perry and Topju nodded as if they fully understood.

If he hadn’t met ‘her’ before the mock battle started, he would have been in the same position.

“Don’t worry. “There is no way we will lose this battle.”

“yes…?”

In response to the young wizard’s rebuttal, Peridotapju only grinned.

And finally they reached the border of the forest.

The Skyler Magic Tower’s troops also appeared in the distance in the forest opposite, as if they had been waiting.

“That’s how it came out, after all.”

It was as expected.

Unless the enemies are stupid, they will be able to tell which side the knight-centered forces will come from.

If he was really serious about winning, he would have hidden in the forest without showing himself until the end.

‘And when we got into range, we would have opened fire.’

However, it is unclear whether it was pride or arrogance, but they chose to appear fair and square.

As Raoul looked on, they were forming a standard formation.

Shield soldiers form a line and knights are placed on the left and right wings.

And the wizards wait right in front of the forest border.

There may be no surprise attack, but it was clear that they were planning to melt this side with magic before they could approach the formation.

‘Well, that doesn’t mean things will move any differently here either.’

Raoul likewise chose to attack head-on.

There was no intention of bypassing the battlefield or using tricks to confuse the enemy.

A battle of strength against strength.

“To the knights! The rear wizards also advance to the range with the main force!”

Many, many, many.

Leaving the green forest, the First Knights rode out slowly.

It was impressive to see the knights relaxing on their horses leisurely, as if they were not nervous at all even though they were about to fight.

Eventually, the distance between the two sides narrowed to less than 500 meters.

Now we have slowly entered the range of some magic.

Shuuung kwagwagwang!

As if it were an illusion, dozens of flame magic exploded above Raoul’s head.

‘Doing useless things.’

It may have been intended to scare people, but it had no real power.

And the war horses, who had already experienced many battlefields, showed no fear even in the face of loud noises and flames.

“Everyone prepare for battle!”

As soon as Raoul’s order was given, the knights quickly formed their formation and began to raise their fighting spirit.

The 250 knights were divided into 70 men each and formed three marching formations (triangular-shaped assault formations).

At the head of each formation stood Raul in the center, Philip on the left, and Jake on the right.

Knights and Pierce, who specialized in long-distance combat, remained in the rear to provide support fire and protect the wizards.

Although the formation was fully prepared, the assault did not begin immediately.

thud. Coogung.

A scene that seemed like I had seen it somewhere was unfolding here on a mock battlefield.

The 1m-sized stone blocks in the knights’ inventory began to pile up in the middle of the wasteland, and it took less than 3 minutes for the small fortress to be completed.

“Oh my god, how did this happen!”

“Wow, how many space expansion pockets are there?”

Even Perry, who was tensed at the back of the formation without thinking, could not hide his surprise at the unrealistic sight of the wizards of the Magic Tower with their mouths wide open.

‘I never thought something like this would be possible.’

Both Perry and the Mage Tower looked at the simple fortress with admiration.

If time permits, I don’t know how I can imitate it, but it’s only 3 minutes.

As I watched the knights running around, picking up a large stone with one hand as if it were a toy, I felt like I was gaining faith that I had never had before.

‘We are like this too. How embarrassed are they?’

The owner of the Ferido tower climbed on the fortress wall and smiled happily as he looked at the enemy lines.

* * *

“… This is ridiculous.”

Thaddeus Schuyler frowned and muttered.

Not only did they bring a bunch of drivers, but now they put on a show like that.

“Droizen.”

“yes!”

Peridot Tower’s traitor Droyzen quickly rushed to Thaddeus’ call and answered.

match!

Thaddeus slapped him on the cheek and said:

“Why is it different from your story? Why didn’t Perry report that there were so many magic pockets in the Magic Tower?”

“…That is not an item from the Magic Tower. “If it had all been from the magic tower, the tower owner would have already disposed of it.”

He answered calmly, his cheeks turning red.

“joy. Did you not properly understand what the top owner was hiding? Anyway, he seems like a useless guy.”

When Thaddeus motioned for him to leave, Droysen politely bowed his head and retreated to the back row.

‘damn. ‘What kind of mischief did the old man do?’

Contrary to his appearance, Droizen’s insides were boiling.

The plan he had made was about to go to waste due to the wrong people getting involved.

‘Anyway, once this battle is over, there will be another chance.’

He glared at where his former teacher was with resentful eyes.

“What should I do?”

The adjutant approached and asked, but Thaddeus was silent for a moment, looking at the enemy lines.

But then he spoke in a light voice.

“Why don’t you go to sleep and we’ll go according to our plan. “Wait like this and intercept the enemy when they rush in.”

“all right.”

There was no reason to approach the enemies first who had even built a fortress.

It was better to keep the distance because of course it was Skyler’s magic tower.

I recognize your ability to build a fortress in such a short period of time, but so what?

In any case, such a simple fortress without any magic defenses was merely a target for magic bombardment.

‘Are you really thinking about a long-term game?’

That was… not good.

In this mock battle that is broadcast throughout the kingdom, if you show that you are wasting time on mere knights, even if you win, you will not receive good praise from your father or the owner of the tower.

‘Still, it’s a bit hard to make the first move…’

Then came the news that would take Thaddeus’ worries away.

“The enemy knights are moving!”

“Everyone ready to shoot!”

The corner of Thaddeus’ mouth twitched.

* * *

The role of the makeshift fortress was insignificant.

This is to prevent enemy knights from detouring and targeting the friendly rear.

And to increase the range by occupying a slightly higher place.

In any case, the battle would be decided by a clash between the main units, and Raoul simply took measures to prevent his allies from getting hurt in order to achieve an overwhelming victory.

‘You have to use what you have. And both….’

It was also necessary to leave an impressive scene for the viewers watching this battle.

“Sort is complete.”

Upon hearing Philip’s report, Raoul drew his sword and shouted.

“Activate all armor!”

Charalalak!

The armor of the First Knights on horseback flashed, and pure white power armor with a splendid golden falcon emblem and blue patterns engraved on it appeared.

After completing the repairs to the items captured in the last battle against the Count, we were able to secure a total of 180 pieces of power armor.

With the completion of the new paint job on the old power armors, a truly unified armor user knight corps has been completed.

With everyone’s attention focused, Raoul shouted again.

“I won’t talk for a long time. The goal is to crush the enemy lines! To completely wipe out the enemy. “Everyone go!”

“Wow!”

With a shout, the First Knights began their advance.

Three spokes made up of knights rushed towards the enemy camp without hesitation.

The speed of a galloping horse reaches 60 to 70 km.

No matter how many riders were on board, 40 to 50 seconds were enough to cover the distance of 500 meters.

In the end, this battle would be decided in less than a minute.

And the Skyler Magic Tower’s camp glowed brightly, as if it would never allow the knights to approach.

Swoouk! Grrrr!
