Chapter 138 - Rebellion King Embrio (2)

Chapter 138: Rebellion King Embrio (2)

Days and nights changed one after another.

Embrio’s army, finally crossing the borders between the west and the south, was approaching the Dungeon of the House of Randolt fast.

Embrio didn’t rush. Riding on a giant wolf instead of a horse, he turned his gaze aside.

Lotus, the Demon King of Wild Animals, one of the house masters under his command, replied politely, “There is a group of troops ambushed in the right rear of the dungeon of the House of Randolt. About six hundred, all told. Given that their arming posture is not organized, it seems they are from the Free City.”

As the name suggested, Lotus could freely control wild animals and even shared their senses.

Embrio nodded. He didn’t expect their defense posture was poor like that. It was unlikely that the master of the House of Mammon, whose troops were absolutely inferior, would retreat.

To make matters worse, since the master could not place all his troops in the mid-sized dungeon of the Hosue of Randolt, it was highly likely that he had them ready to ambush Embrio’s army.

“Move forward like we did.”

While attacking the dungeon of the House of Randolt, his forces were in danger of being ambushed, but Embrio didn’t worry that much. His forces were different from Bizarro’s in terms of the size of the troops. Even though Embiro mobilized one thousand troops to attack the dungeon, he still had two thousand troops on standby.

Now, Embrio kept gesturing to Lotus. After understanding his signal, Lotus bowed out politely and headed to the left-wing of his main forces. Then he turned the marching course of the light infantry troops composed of orcs and lizardmen slightly, for the target of his attack was not the dungeon, but the forces of the Free City in ambush behind it.

Orc warrior Kijamu, commander of the main unit’s heavy infantry, accelerated the march.

Of the 1,500 troops located in the center of the main unit, about 900 people, more than half of them, followed his command. Consisting of heavy infantry and arrow shields, their main mission was to attack the dungeon of the House of Randolt.

The remaining forces left behind were six hundred light infantry, who were reserve units.

Moreover, there were troops on the right-wing of the main unit.

Dozens of cavalry, headed by a Death Knight riding on a giant lizard running on two legs, and about 500 light infantry, stopped marching like Embrio’s main forces and kept their place.

The fighting began from a distance.

The light infantry led by Lotus clashed with the forces of the Free City.

Since their ambush was exposed to the Lotus army, the Free City soldiers had no tactical advantage at all. They were just struggling to fight back the Lotus’s light infantry that numbered almost twice as much as them.

Kijamu didn’t pay attention to Lotus’s fighting. His heavy infantry, with scared goblins and kobolds attacking ahead, stormed into the dungeon.

Embrio just watched his commanders leading the fight. Instead of leading the forces by himself, as he did when fighting the Western Owners’ Alliance, this time he took his time and just waited.

He heard the clattering of horses’ hoofs behind his back. Again, it was as he expected.

In the current situation, there were not many things the master of the House of Mammon could do.

Embrio felt that the master would try to divert his attention to the troops in the frontline then have his own elite forces attack the main forces led by Embrio’s commander in the rear. Embrio could clearly understand how Bizarro was defeated. Perhaps, he was defeated by the same tactic.

The wolves turned. The elite soldiers mixed among the reserves calmed their confusion.

Embrio burst into laughter after noticing a group of soldiers running to him at a distance.

20 of them at most.

Each one of them was an elite soldier, but their number was too small. It was like hitting a rock with eggs.

‘Was he crazy?’

Embrio raised his hand. He didn’t even have to go out. Death Knight, who was standing by on his right, could handle them alone.

But at that moment, the air of the battlefield changed.

Terrible mana was released from the elite soldiers of the House of Mammon, who were rushing like a moth running into the flames.

As the attack was so sudden, Embrio was at a loss about what to do.

His main unit was dealt a strong blow.

“Kuhhhhhhhung!”

It was a beast’s roar. Huge red monsters that penetrated into his main forces threw them into the sky, wielding their arms violently. The red beast on the monsters’ backs commanded them with a single flash of light.

But the cavalry of the House of Mammon didn’t charge at Embrio’s main unit. The pitch-black Nightmare, flying in the lead, turned to the right when the red monster and the beast revealed their claws. The cavalry rushed toward the Death Knight!

Lightning struck and gusts arose fiercely, protecting the cavalry. Moreover, the mana unleashed by each of them was exceptionally powerful.

Extreme confusion dominated Embrio’s main unit. However, he couldn’t think of quelling the confusion. He didn’t even look at the Death Knight, who was about to collide with the pitch-dark knight. When Embrio and his men were distracted by the ambush of the House of Mammon, they suddenly raised their heads. Embrio glared his eyes before he knew it.

Under the red sky of the demon world, there was another sun. A huge and intense lump of green flames flared up.

Embrio could not afford to think about where they suddenly appeared or how they hid mana.

The red monsters, apparently under the master’s command, were raging inside his main unit.

Embrio hastily opened up his mana. Yong-ho, standing on the back of Salami, roared and brandished Aamon.

The sun of the green flames hit the ground.

<hr />

Embrio’s army witnessed a disaster pouring out from the sky. Those who witnessed their colleagues’ heads being smashed by the red monsters’ fists, those who screamed to overcome their fear, and those who tried to run away instinctively raised their heads and looked at the sky.

It was beautiful.

The green flames exploding under the red sky of the demon world were luxurious, glamorous, and mysterious.

But they couldn’t admire it because the flame was alive.

The sun of green flames that hit the ground turned into dozens, rather hundreds of flames.

They covered the sky and the earth and colored the whole world green.

Sparks of the flames scattering like petals turned into fatal weapons and struck Embrio’s army. He spread the map of hell on the ground.

Those who were engulfed in flames screamed painfully. The moment the sun of green flames hit the ground, its heat and shock instantly killed nearly a hundred soldiers. The remaining survivors were also swept away by a wave of sparks from the source of the shock.

Yong-ho looked down at all this from the sky. Although they couldn’t destroy all of Embrio’s main unit and his right-wing troops that didn’t move, the ambush already achieved a lot.

Nearly two hundred troops were incapacitated by the attack, and the battlefield was thrust into an extreme chaos.

But Yong-ho felt his attack wasn’t sufficient. The attack was just a killer punch. He really had to prepare for lots of stuff for this attack.

He concentrated mana for about thirty minutes. At the same time, Kaiwan used the power of distortion non-stop for thirty minutes so that he couldn’t have his abnormally concentrated mana caught by Embrio. She distorted the flow of mana in the atmosphere adroitly to hide his mana.

Added to this was Tigrius’ illusion magic. Thanks to this, Yong-ho wasn’t even caught in the eyes of Lotus, the Demon King of Wild Animals.

Lastly, Skull, Tigrius, Eligos, and Ophelia mounted a combined attack.

While Embrio and his army’s eyes were fixed on the ambush, Yong-ho soared on the back of Salami. Of course, he had to distract Embrio’s attention even during that short span, so Kaiwan, on Salami’s back like Yong-ho, did her best to use the power of distortion to deceive Embrio.

Then came the killer attack by Yong-ho and his dungeon spirits. Without any regret, Yong-ho breathed harshly and drank the mana potion he had obtained from the arena. So did Kaiwan. Exhausted after using the power of distortion for about thirty minutes, she tried to recover mana instead of looking down on the ground.

Yong-ho’s attack just began.

There were still many enemies, and Embrio was well and alive.

“Oohoooooooh!”

Eligos roared in the flames that covered the ground. He literally ran around like he was crazy.

The flames of greed never harmed Yong-ho’s possession—Eligos. As a result, Eligos wasn’t afraid of the flames at all. Rather, Eligos actively used the flames.

While being faithful to his wild nature, Eligos freely used the skills he acquired so far.

The storm of power.

Whenever he wielded his punches amid the green flames, enemies’ blood splattered and bones scattered everywhere. A terrifying noise of breaking and destruction resonated in all directions.

Ophelia ran silently. If Eligos was a storm in the air, she was lightning on the ground.

She was fast and intense. Moreover, her attack didn’t know distance. A shock wave that she caused by kicking in the air broke the atmosphere and crushed the ground with a strike.

The role of the two Red Demons was to break the backbone of Embrio’s main unit. Accordingly, they didn’t stop for a moment. They didn’t forget that the moment Yong-ho’s green flames disappeared, he would be exposed among the one thousand troops.

Skull’s unit penetrated the troops on the right-wing of Embrio. They suffered relatively less damage from the green flames, but it didn’t mean their resistance to Lance charging was reinforced.

The giant black horses carrying Skull’s troops on their backs guaranteed the unusual impact and racing power of the cavalry. They immediately trampled on the light infantry in Embrio’s right-wing.

Penetrating the infantry squad with Lance charging was a standard military tactic.

The moment they stopped moving, the cavalry was no longer a cavalry.

For this reason, Skull Squad penetrated Embrio’s right-wing. They ran diagonally and got out of the place except for one.

“Skulllull!”

However, Skull didn’t penetrate the right-wing. Skull immediately ordered its unit’s members to get around and charge again at the right-wing. Skull then turned the head of the horse. Skull drove a horse face to face to the one who rushed forward without turning his gaze even when the sun of the green flames was pouring down.

Bucephalas exuded a hot, harsh snort. Skull also roared wildly, grabbing Claymore, which was embedded with lightning.

The Death Knight. He was one of the prized figures of the undead monsters!
