The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 224

Episode 224

“I see. “It’s another ancient seal within the Geumyeok…”

Lord Hansley looked relieved after hearing Lawrence and Raoul’s story.

‘If they hadn’t been able to stop it, doesn’t that mean another demon would have appeared over there?’

If that had been the case, the wall might not have really held up.

And one more thing that concerns me.

‘That’s amazing.’

After Raoul joined the Wall.

He felt like his breathing had been cleared.

Shhh!

The army of weapons controlled by Raoul was slaying the hordes of demonic beasts without any doubt.

The fortress wall, which can be said to be the center of the wall.

The weapons filled above it were excluding all enemies that approached within a certain range.

‘Even though it is assisted by the Wall’s Overlord system, it is truly spectacular.’

Thanks to this, Duke Hansley had more freedom in the management of his troops.

He didn’t have to use Aurors himself to stop enemies, and the Wall’s chief knights were also relieved of their burden.

“Anyway, I’m really glad. I never thought that not only would I return safely, but that I would also step into a new realm! “I’m really proud of you.”

Lord Hansley patted Raoul and Lawrence on the shoulders and smiled.

“Whew. I don’t have anything to say to those of you who have worked hard, but couldn’t you give us a little more strength? As you can see, the situation at the wall is not very good.”

“What are you saying? Of course we should help!”

“I will do my best.”

Even if he didn’t ask for it, Raoul and his group were already standing in the middle of the battlefield.

Nevertheless, Raoul and Lawrence seemed to have conveyed the feelings of Lord Hansley, who politely bowed his head to the request. They willingly agreed to join the battle.

“Thank you. “It’s really reassuring.”

It wasn’t just words, it was real.

He was the only master, but four master-level talents joined at once.

‘It’s not the power to defeat the enemies, but it’s enough to hold on.’

Of course, he did not yet know the true skills of Raoul and his group.

* * *

“Hwiyu~. “It’s higher than you think?”

Josh said, whistling.

Raoul climbed the fortress wall near the main gate of the fortress, accompanied only by members of the First Knights.

“It’s because it’s hidden by a wall, but this fortress is quite large. It is said that from the time it was first designed, it was assumed that it would be attacked from behind. Just like now.”

Josh nodded at Jake’s explanation, saying yes.

In fact, the height of the fortress wall was about 30m.

Considering that typical castles and fortresses are about 10 to 15 meters high, it is twice as high.

The walls were thick, so there was enough space for troops to stand above the walls.

“Anyway, there’s no end? “It’s already been two days… I wonder where all these things are coming from.”

“Don’t even talk. Last time, it was difficult to stop it from jumping out of two holes, but here there are five, right? Just by looking at it, I get the feeling that I’m going through a lot of hard work.”

Two days have already passed since the group joined the Wall.

The situation of the war remained unchanged.

The demonic beasts constantly coming out of the Dark Gate have been constantly attacking the wall, but since Raoul joined, they have been barely able to inflict any significant damage.

“But is it really okay if we just block like this?”

“therefore! I should have just jumped in when I first joined. Anyway, Lord Hansley is also a little too cautious. Even when I worked there before…”

Jake began to tell Josh about his experiences working at the Wall.

‘You two get along really well.’

Raoul chuckled and looked away at Josh and Jake, who were chatting non-stop.

Five dark gates visible in the distance on the main street

, and the floating building [Demon Temple] in front of them.

I’ve seen it a few times before, but it was a real pain in the ass.

Guooooh.

I felt a huge amount of energy flowing out from under the demon temple.

Although it was invisible to the eye, the dark and cold energy was clearly ‘magic energy’.

‘If we leave it like this, it will really be the end…’

The demon temple that has crossed the gate of darkness turns the surrounding area into a ‘demon realm.’

It absorbs mana from the atmosphere and turns it into demonic energy.

In that case, the demons will be able to demonstrate their original abilities, and on the contrary, the humans will.

‘It’s difficult to demonstrate my skills in a place that has become a demon world.’

Mana recovery becomes slower and control itself becomes more difficult.

The best way is to destroy the Demon Temple as quickly as possible, but it doesn’t seem easy at the moment.

“I think there are already over 10,000 people?”

“But anyway, they’re just idiots.”

“You look a bit strong for that….”

“Numbers are meaningless on this battlefield anyway. “Can’t you see that?”

Jake pointed his finger to the sky and saw an army of weapons still in constant motion.

“Of course, I am not doubting the Master’s skills.”

‘…I don’t think they are ordinary soldiers either.’

Josh swallowed his words slightly. Jake probably doesn’t know either.

At the bottom of the Demon Temple, the soldiers of the ‘real’ Demon World, who were on a different level from the Demon Beasts, were in formation.

They gradually crossed the gate among the demonic beasts, and before they knew it, they had formed an army of over 10,000 people.

I don’t know how much more their numbers will increase in the future, but it was definitely a serious threat.

Raoul looked down at them with slightly mixed feelings.

Jake wasn’t wrong.

Raoul insisted on attacking the Demon Temple immediately after joining the Wall.

But Lord Hansley did not accept it.

‘Well, I thought I’d be rejected.’

Even if Raoul and his group joined, it would have been impossible to launch a counterattack when they were outgunned in superhuman strength.

In Raoul’s opinion, it was a fight worth having.

Even though there were five demons and two imperial masters, this one was no easy task.

Lord Hansley and Raoul, who are clearly at intermediate master level or higher.

Jake Kane Lawrence can demonstrate master-level skills.

A dozen top-level knights who use temporary aurors as an aid to the defense system.

If you include Ravel, Cardenas, and ‘him’ in the calculation…

‘But unless you know the existence of Ravel and Cardenas, it would have been an inevitable choice.’

However, it was not easy to attack with just the strength of Raoul and his party.

Even if we won, there was a high possibility that there would be casualties, even if we won without the full power of the wall.

There was no need to make sacrifices and play the hero.

‘Time is not necessarily on their side.’

Raoul controlled the weapon corps with a meaningful expression.

With almost infinite mana and spiritual power available, this place was an unrivaled treasure trove of experience.

* * *

“The enemies are moving!”

Pow!

It’s been four days since the standoff in front of the wall continued.

Finally, there was meaningful movement from the enemies.

And in the meantime, there was some good news from the wall side.

Reinforcements had arrived from Forward Base Alpha, the closest to the wall.

“They are demons. “I wonder if it’s really as strong as rumored.”

A middle-aged man in his late forties, looking towards the Demon Temple with curious eyes.

His unkempt brown hair and beard looked wild, and he wore only a leather vest over his casual clothes, as if he didn’t like being cumbersome.

His name is Adhert.

He was a master dispatched from the mercenary kingdom of Marcus and the commander of Forward Base Alpha.

“You can’t let down your guard. Don’t you feel it? “Their mighty power.”

Lord Hansley still looked cautious, and Adhert just lightly massaged his shoulders to calm his excitement.

Quick and easy.

Ten thousand demon soldiers began to march towards the fortress in an orderly manner.

But it wasn’t the soldiers that caught their eyes.

Above the heads of demon soldiers.

There was an image of four dolls floating in the air and approaching.

They were demons with small horns on their heads.

“Lord Celta on the left. Have Lord Girion command the right wall. “We will take care of the demons.”

“Yes Commander!”

Lord Hansley, who had entrusted command of the troops to his senior knights, grabbed his sword.

And Raoul, who was standing a little away.

“Jake Kane. Guard the fortress walls with the knights as planned. “When the signal goes up, the second phase of the operation begins.”

“Yes Master!”

“Brother Lawrence. Please take command.”

“Whew. Okay, I understand. But really… no. “Take care of yourself.”

Lawrence patted Raoul on the shoulder and expressed his concern.

That’s because Raoul was planning to separate from his companions and attack the Demon Temple.

Of course, I wasn’t really going alone.

“We are ready.”

The person who speaks to Raoul is Saint Kiera.

And the entire warrior party, including Simar Regan Asher, stood fully armed.

“When the battle begins, we will take advantage of the opportunity and enter at once. And as I said before, take care of your own life. “If it gets in the way, I’ll throw it away.”

“Of course. Viscount, please just do your best to deal with the demons. We will do our part.”

After learning of Raoul’s power, the warrior party was very cooperative with Raoul.

A few days ago, a group of people came to visit and sincerely apologized for what had happened, and Raoul readily accepted.

I didn’t really want to become friends, but I also didn’t necessarily want to be hostile.

I was actually going to attack the Demon Temple alone this time, but Saint Kiera, who heard the news, came to me and asked me to take her.

Although there was no need to accompany them, Raoul decided to take them with him.

‘Let’s think of it as a business relationship.’

In most cases, it becomes a nuisance or causes trouble, but there is only one thing.

This is because he could have been a reliable partner when moving for the original purpose of the warrior party.

pop! Pubububung!

Magic and long-distance attacks began to fly in from the demon camp.

The magic square installed in the fortress formed a translucent wall and blocked magic.

At the same time, counterattacks began on the walls and fortresses.

“Start shooting! No need to aim! “Fire as fast as you can!”

The front of the fortress was filled with legions of demonic beasts and demons, so there was no need to aim.

And so a full-scale siege began.

Sigh. Quagwagwagwang!

A black line seemed to appear in the air, and the magic barrier was easily torn down, and black dolls fell onto the castle wall.

“Sweet ha. “I can feel the fear of humans!”

“The smell of blood is amazing haha.”

“Become a sacrifice for the demon god.”

“….”

Dozens of soldiers around the place where the four demons jumped into were turned into blood clots.

“Get back! “Knights, form a square.”

A mid-level commander-level armor user who was giving instructions in a hurry was immediately grabbed by the demon’s neck.

“Kehel hel.” “When the Demon God asks who sent you, tell him [Baron Marcels].”

Knock it hard!

The force field of the power armor seemed to be of no use as the commander, whose neck was broken, was burned to ashes by the incoming electricity.

Empty!

“this guy! How dare you tell me where this is!”

“Where? Isn’t this a sacrificial place for the demon god? Kehelhel.”

Starting with Lord Hansley, the elites of the wall blocked the way of the demons.

However, in that short period of time, there were already more than a hundred casualties.

And then the full-scale battle between superhumans began.

‘As expected, it’s not that easy.’

Raoul was watching their battle from a distance.

The demons were demonstrating considerable skills even on the walls of the fortress, where various disturbing magics and sacred barriers were spread.

The estimated level is between master beginner and intermediate level.

However, due to the racial characteristics of the demon race and the aggressive energy of the Magi, it felt more threatening than the realm.

‘Still, if it’s like this…’

There didn’t seem to be any major problems in protecting the fortress even without Raoul.

“Everyone gather together.”

At Raoul’s words, the warrior party members approached Raoul’s side with tense expressions.

‘Well, I guess I should recognize your grit and beliefs. I won’t hold you back.’

In some ways, even though they were heading to the most dangerous place in this battlefield, they were nervous but not afraid.

“let’s go.”

Raoul grabbed them with telekinesis and jumped into the sky.
