Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 202. Adrias’ Trap]

“Contact the capital immediately.”

said the Earl of Mayton from the top of the castle wall.

Enemies are approaching Mayton’s alumni without a sound rumor.

It was also a fairly large number, not a small number.

“Miss Mayton! South gate! Even at the south gate!”

“what?!”

Mayton was huge.

It would take a year to visit all of the huge outer walls surrounding the city.

So it took quite a while to get from the east gate where he is standing now to the south gate.

“Is that possible! Brahms?”

“The knight commander is just aligning his troops.”

“I will leave the south gate to Brahms. Hurry up and send a message!”

“I understand, sir.”

While the situation was urgent, Kendrick, the son of the Earl of Mayton, was also running around frantically.

He led the people under the wall and prepared supplies hastily.

“arrow! The arrow should move over there! No, didn’t I say that the oil is boiled here and brought up? If you put it on top of the wall, the way for troops to come and go will be narrowed!”

Thanks to the education of Earl Mayton, who was usually astute, he handled his work as calmly as possible.

He hadn’t climbed directly on top of the castle wall and checked the enemy’s appearance, so there was less tension.

“ah! Where is Sir Cromwell now?”

“You just returned to the city.”

“Every day, I couldn’t help and just wandered around the outside, but today I came back in a hurry.”

Kendrick, who had been trying to observe Adrias for the past few days, had no choice but to cancel the plan every time.

Adrias goes out of town every day to do something and come back.

Besides, since he left early in the morning and came back late at night, there was no time to talk to him.

I had no idea what he was doing, but he was so busy that I didn’t think to check.

Still, I thought I’d check it out if I had a little spare time, but this emergency broke out just four days after Adrias came here.

“Lord Soga! It’s a big deal!”

“What happened again?”

“Words have come that an enemy has appeared at the South Gate as well.”

“Are you saying that the other territories were blind? What the hell were you doing while the barbarians came all the way here?”

Kendrick, who burst into resentment, soon began to command people and prepare supplies for the south gate.

Whatever the case, now was the time to stop the enemies.

The real problem is that they still haven’t figured out the scale of their enemies.

In an attack so sudden, not a single bit of information about the enemy existed.

“The enemy is advancing!”

“South Gate? How is the situation at the South Gate?”

“Enemy is approaching the south gate as well!”

“Hurry up, starting with the arrows! The enemy must not be allowed to approach!”

“It seems that the south gate will be late. If we go on like this, the enemy’s advance will be as it is……” The enemy

suddenly appeared as if he had teleported, and the response was bound to be slow.

Kendrick left his secretary in command of the people and hurried to the south gate.

And as soon as he climbed onto the wall, the sight that was revealed exceeded his expectations.

He didn’t think there would be too many as it was a troop that suddenly appeared, but the human waves that filled the field of vision in front of him denied his expectations.

“Sogaju. Are you here?”

“Sir Brahms. That’s…”

Brahms, Mayton’s Knight Commander, greeted Kendrick with a determined face.

“Sogaju. It may be rude for me to say this, but may I give you one piece of advice?”

“Please tell me.”

“Enemies came from the South Gate and the East Gate. Although the road to the capital is blocked, that does not mean that there is no chance to escape.”

“Does that mean you are telling me to run away?”

“You need to lower your voice. When the soldiers hear it, their morale goes down.”

“Even if I die, I will die in Mayton. This land belongs to the Mayton family. Where are you going to leave this place and run away? Even if it does, the future that follows is bleak. If Mayton falls and the fact that I fled is known, even if the Empire wins later, it will be difficult to take Maiton back.”

“If you die, none of that means anything.”

“I am a nobleman. Die on honor, live on honor.”

“All right. I accept Sogaju’s will.”

Brahms nodded and looked forward again.

Even looking at it again, the number of enemies was unbelievable.

Mayton’s forces were not very numerous.

It was a natural story since it was a territory that was operated as a logistics base for the rear in the first place.

“Assuming that they give up the outer wall, even if we do our best, it will be difficult to last for two days.”

“Even if you say that, I won’t run away.”

“I was just stating the truth. I can only hope that help arrives quickly.”

When Kendrick and Brahms have a conversation in a voice that only they can hear.

A sudden change occurred.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

the whole city?

No, it was a sound that echoed not from inside the city, but from the land surrounding the city.

“What does this mean?”

“What else is this time!”

The soldiers and people trembled with fear, and the commanders tried to comfort them and confused them.

“This is the resonance of the magic circle!”

A wizard under the command of Earl Mayton at the east gate shouted.

The Earl of Mayton, hearing his words, hurriedly asked.

“The savages also deal with magic?”

“That can’t be. Barbarians will know about a high-level civilization like magic……”

“Then what is the resonance of that magic circle!”

“Don’t worry, sir.”

Suddenly, the answer came out of nowhere.

When Earl Mayton turned his head, Pione, who had risen to the top of the castle wall, was talking while sweeping her face with one hand.

“That’s our magic circle.”

“what? Are you our magic circle? Rather, where is Lord Cromwell?”

“I can’t believe this situation right now, but first, Lord Cromwell went to the south gate. Haha, what kind of stupid things have you been doing all this time……”

Pione, unable to speak, gestured.

“It started.”

The gazes of the commanders and soldiers on the wall followed her fingertips.

There, a huge magic circle that gradually started to shine brightly illuminated the land where the savages were stepping on.

And soon after,

Kwaang———-!

The earth began to explode with a deafening explosion.

**

“What the hell is this…”

Kendrick muttered, faintly audible over the massive explosion.

I walked over to him and shook his body.

“Who is it… Sir Cromwell?”

“Lord Soga. Is the commander here now Lord Soga?”

“no. Sir Brahms here is the commander of the South Gate.”

“My name is Brahms Sevier.”

When Brahms greeted me by bowing my head, I immediately spoke to him.

“Sir Brahms. Can you prepare troops to go out the gates right now?”

“Are you talking about the troops going out of the component?”

“yes. Look at that.”

At the place where I gestured, I saw the enemy’s troops, whose formation was destroyed by the magic circle and who were suffering enormous damage.

“Now is the right time. Of course, if you keep it like this, you will succeed in Mercury, but if you collide with the well-organized troops, there will be great damage. I’d rather go out now and destroy the enemies so I can annihilate them without taking damage.”

After hearing my words, Brahms showed signs of thinking for a moment, but instead Kendrick, who was next to him, shouted.

“Sir Hanson!”

“yep! Did you call!”

“Gather the troops on the wall right in front of the gate!”

“Ah… yep! We will assemble right now!”

A knight named Hanson, who was trying to keep an eye on Brahms for a while, immediately left to prepare his troops.

In the meantime, the binge was heard continuously, and the magic that never ended was going on.

“Sir Brahms. I will be fined later for this act of exceeding authority. Then I will go to the front of the castle gate. Sir, please continue to lead.”

“No, Sogaju. I will follow you.”

Brahms quickly came to his senses and nodded.

It’s a series of so sudden situations that I’m embarrassed, but it can be enough.

Soon, with only a minimum number of people left, everyone at the south gate gathered in front of the huge gate.

I borrowed a horse and stood side by side with Brahms and Kendrick in the vanguard.

“Going out! Open the gate!”

“Open door! Open the gate!”

It was a judgment made in an instant, a change of situation, and an order.

Rather, because of that, the soldiers seemed to follow orders excluding their own fearful emotions or will.

Soon the huge gates opened and the drawbridge went down.

“Going out! Charge at full speed! Don’t let any of the bewildered enemies live!”

Brahms shouted and ran out.

When I came out next to him and followed Kendrick, the soldiers started to follow us like crazy.

“Sir Cromwell! Did His Excellency prepare that magic circle by any chance?”

“That’s right.”

As they rode along, Kendrick asked from the side.

There was still a bit of distance left, so there was quite a bit of time, but I saw Kendrick thinking about that before the battle again.

Aren’t you nervous?

“Then when will the magic circle end?”

“now.”

As I finished speaking, the binge drinking subsided.

It was difficult to grasp the situation of the enemy formations due to the rising dust, but it was clear that they would have collapsed without checking.

“It’s not too late! Run, you guys!”

Brahms urged the following knights.

Anyway, the infantry soldiers would take care of the leftovers after we had swept away, so it wouldn’t be a problem, but we, on horseback, had to drive away before our opponents came to their senses.

“see!”

Soon enough to be identified with the naked eye, I drew a sword from my waist.

The enemies are in such a terrible state that the word mayhem is appropriate.

“Again! Leave no one alive! You never know when your enemies will attack your family if they are alive!”

Brahms shouted once more at the nervous knights and entered the enemy formation first.

Pushyuk –

“Kuuk!”

One barbarian who had already been covered in blood was killed by the magic circle.

And in the clash of the cavalrymen in turn, the enemies could not resist and were swept away.

Truly a one-sided slaughter.

At first glance, it was brutal, but it was a situation where we had to kill the enemy in order to survive.

If it wasn’t for my magic circle in the first place, the situation would have been reversed and the citizens of Mayton would have died indiscriminately.

To be honest, I didn’t do anything special, I just cut as I saw with my sword.

There was not a single opponent who could block my sword, and all of them gave their heads with confused expressions.

“Enemies flee!”

“Chase! Chase!”

Enemies who ran away without even being properly procured were tasty prey for the cavalrymen.

In the end, most of the barbarians who came to the south gate died, and those who fled were only a handful.

“I won!”

“Victory! Mayton won!”

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, I brushed off the blood on my sword and caught my breath.

Even though it was an easy victory, I felt like I was sucked in.

My mind was exhausted.

“Sir Cromwell! we! we won! This is all thanks to Your Excellency!”

Kendrick ran up to me looking delighted and made a fuss.

His entire body was stained with the blood of his enemies.

“It is too early to rejoice. There are still alumni left.”

“ah!”

“It’s not just here that we have a magic circle. They were all laid out in front of the four city gates. Maybe Alumni wouldn’t have a big problem if the magic circle was activated properly.”

Kendrick, who was drunk with victory and couldn’t come to his senses, stiffened as it was.

And immediately stopped the soldiers who were clearing the battlefield.

“We’re advancing toward the East Gate!”

The soldiers look exhausted, but they can’t help it.

First of all, I told Pione the plan in advance and sent it to Earl Mayton, but I had to go quickly because I didn’t know how it would turn out.

‘And I haven’t seen it yet.’

The reason why barbarian troops could suddenly appear.

That was, of course, the work of the black magician.

That said, the black magician was with the barbarians just a moment ago.

“Sir Cromwell, you can come slowly.”

“no. I have something to confirm, so I will go with you.”

“ah! You want to check the battlefield. All right.”

What I wanted to confirm was the identity of the black magician.

When I was playing the game, black magicians were all the same, but they were different now.

I had to find out which faction the guys belonged to were messing up the war behind the barbarians.

‘I’m guessing, but…’

I speeded up my horse and ran toward the alumni gate.
