Volume 6 Chapter 82 It's Unfair! No Wonder They Said That
On the beach where the giant battleship had crashed, Conrad and the others had started their defense.
It was like a bucket had been turned upside down with pouring rain.
The giant battleship had come crashing in.
The Empire's Elite troop had spread out.
With the situation worsening, even the defending Knights were feeling uneasy.
The visibility was bad, and faced with an already scattered enemy, they figured that fighting back with magic would lead to being surrounded quickly.
Following Conrad's orders, they spread the infantry to surround the enemy instead and prepared to meet the Empire at the beach's edge.
They aimed to make the enemy's footing worse while improving their own.
Still, everyone held their breath at the fierce expressions of the Empire soldiers charging through the mud.
Amidst the loud sound of rain hitting armor, the Empire soldiers' battle cries echoed.
As the moment approached, Conrad shouted to his soldiers to stay calm.
Even if it didn't help much, it was better than doing nothing.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, the Empire's first wave reached the defensive line amidst the torrential rain.
Both armies clashed in the downpour.
Conrad had heard about the Empire soldiers' strength, but he found their power beyond imagination.
Perhaps it was due to their desperate hold on a dead-end line.
Or maybe it was their confidence in executing an unprecedented strategy.
In any case, the Empire soldiers charged with unusually high morale, and the Knights and soldiers on the defense began to feel somewhat overwhelmed.
Normally, their training would allow for an equal contest, but...
The Empire's strategies, backed by the heavens, were definitely having a significant impact on the soldiers.
(This is bad...)
The moment Conrad frowned, he spotted Knights rushing toward the beach from the port.
(Reinforcements? But with so few...)
A group ran recklessly on the unstable beach.
No doubt, they seemed to be begging to be surrounded by the enemy, yet the 20 or so running figures charged toward the Empire with strange shouts, ignoring everything.
Finally, Conrad caught sight of the deep red tabards they were wearing.
The familiar simple crest and the bright red tabards.
They charged at the enemy with an excited behavior, just like barbarians.
This was definitely Victor's Knights, as he had heard...
(They are slower than I expected...)
...They moved slower than he imagined.
Maybe it was the bad footing on the sandy beach or the impact of the heavy rain.
They were slower than he thought, and they were quickly surrounded by the Imperial soldiers.
For regular Knights or soldiers, this would be a situation to despair in, but according to rumors, each of Victor's Knights is a Matchless Warrior who could have their own title in other territories.
Conrad, who pushed back the first wave of the Empire, could only watch Victor, surrounded and anxious.
The Empire turned to face the strange intruders that had unexpectedly appeared.
It was understandable.
Charging in with such few numbers could only be done by a huge fool or a fierce warrior.
They would likely plan to focus on taking them down.
Finally, the Empire attacked Victor.
The battle that started was, without a doubt, an amazing fight that didn't seem to be just 20 people.
Especially, two of them showed such strange strength, but still, the power of numbers was not to be underestimated.
The encirclement slowly tightened, and finally, one of Victor's men was struck down.
Someone yelled "Ah!"──it seemed that others were watching their fight too, besides Conrad.
Fragments of tabard danced in the rain.
Stumbling, the Knight still deflected a second strike.
It seemed they managed to avoid damage, but in that broken stance... just when everyone thought so, the slightly staggering Knight suddenly moved with renewed energy.
Their movements were clearly better than before they were struck.
(...What is this?)
Faced with this puzzling phenomenon, Conrad showed a confused expression.
Like a fish that has returned to water.
The Knight, whose movements had improved so much, knocked down 2 approaching enemies at once.
But such counterattacks were just a small part of it.
The enemy still surrounded Victor.
From other areas, the Empire launched a fierce attack, trying to break the spirit of the invigorated Knights.
As the encirclement closed in, swords approached several Knights.
Swords swung down.
The torn tabard.
The Knight stumbled around... but then, for some reason, he was strong again and pushed back the attack.
This was happening everywhere, and the Empire was in trouble.
"Damn it, push them back!"
The Empire, who were supposed to be attacking, started to get nervous.
There were only a few of them, but the Victor Knight's improved movements were as strong as the rumors said.
(I didn't know they had a secret weapon like that)
They hid the strong Knights among the normal Knights, pretended to cut them down, and then counterattacked.
It was definitely very effective mentally.
When Conrad thought this, another Knight had his tabard pulled off and was rolled onto the sandy beach.
The tabard was torn and ripped.
The sand was a bad place to stand.
Being rolled there during the attack meant death.
The Empire soldier threw the torn piece of tabard that he still held in his hand at the Knight who was desperately trying to escape, and stabbed him with his spear.
Everyone thought it was over, but then, the Knight on the sandy beach grabbed the spear and slowly stood up, pushing it back.
"No way..."
Conrad couldn't help but nod at the voice of his ally.
In that position, he not only grabbed the spear coming from above, but he also showed the strength to push it back.
It was no longer human.
"These guys get stronger when you cut them!"
An unbelievable statement echoed in the rain.
But Conrad had actually seen it with his own eyes.
They get stronger when they are cut.
"Then how are we supposed to fight them!"
Conrad felt a little sympathy for the enemy's sad voice.
Yeah, that's right.
They get stronger when you cut them.
If you don't cut them, you'll be cut.
What a nightmare.
Conrad didn't want to fight them either.
In the nightmare that came in the heavy rain, the Empire soldiers went crazy and swung their swords.
It hit the Victor Knight's gauntlet by chance, making a high-pitched sound around them.
