A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 101: (2)

“T-that… He was the one who killed Bavons. I suspect he’s not from the Vyraxar faction.”

“Do you think I’m asking because I don’t know that?”

“My apologies!”

Kaiyan’s true identity was making Count Armis’ already complicated thoughts even more complex.

In Count Armis’ eyes, Kaiyan was nothing short of a lunatic.

Just when he thought his knights were not sending any signals and felt safe, this boy appeared. He was surrounded by something strange that shimmered red, although Count Armis didn’t know if it was an artifact or not.

Until then, Count Armis had thought quite simply. The reason for the appearance of such an unruly boy was that his soldiers hadn’t done their job properly.

“But I never expected he would be such a madman.”

Count Armis couldn’t think of any words to describe Kaiyan other than “madman.”

Kaiyan’s actions were so shocking that Count Armis had never seen anything like it in his life. Without any fear, he had come right into the center of the knights and was now facing off against dozens of them.

“…But why can’t my knights subdue that guy?”

Whenever the red meteor moved, the knights, who had struggled to stand up, fell one by one. Sometimes, with a single movement, two knights would fall.

Over 50 knights from the Armis family couldn’t subdue a young boy like that. It didn’t make any sense.

“Hmph…”

“My lord, if you permit, we’ll step in.”

Two knights who had been guarding Count Armis, their faces contorted, stepped forward.

“Do you think you can subdue that boy if you step in?”

“I don’t know what artifact he’s using to wield such power, but with us and Captain, there are three senior knights. It should be enough.”

“I see… Hmph…”

Count Armis didn’t like the idea of sending two senior knights who needed to protect him, but seeing his own knights continue to fall, he had no choice but to make a decision.

“Very well! Go and bring that boy’s head to me immediately! If we obtain the Markain Territory after this war ends, we’ll use it as a decoration for the castle!”

“Yes, My lord!”

As the knights approached Kaiyan, Count Armis smiled as if he were relieved.

With Charaparion, the captain of the knights, and the escort knights Lambis and Verlain, they should be more than capable of subduing that peculiar boy.

“Yes, if we deal with him and endure, I will win this battle. There’s no need to be hasty. We can easily gather insects like those soldiers again. Kukuku!”

Once reinforcements arrived, everything would be resolved by killing everyone from the Vyraxar to Markain, the traitor Karian, and even Vyarolf, who had caused the war.

And if that happened, there would be nothing to say even if the investigation team arrived later.

“Hehehe! Just thinking about it makes me feel good. From the gold mines to the enormous compensation from the Vyraxar family!”

“My… My lord.”

Just as Count Armis was about to get lost in his happy imagination, someone interrupted his daydreaming. He turned his displeased face.

“What’s going on?”

“Well, it’s… I don’t even know how this happened. Look over there…”

The expression of Count Armis twisted into a sinister one as he looked at where the knight was pointing.

“Why is Captain Charaparion lying on the ground?”

“He… he was attacked by that guy.”

“While Charaparion was down, what were Lambis and Verlain doing?”

Count Artemis inquired about Lambis and Verlain, both of whom were senior knights, but their situation wasn’t any better.

“‘Powerful Downward strike!’”

Kwaaaang!

Without a moment’s pause, he swung his sword crazily in the center of the exploding chaos, following his instincts.

With a single swing, he deflected three swords, only to have four more swords flying towards him immediately.

In this situation where one couldn’t afford to let their guard down for even a moment, it felt not just satisfying but almost exhilarating.

“Grr! This guy is like a monster! What artifact is he using, exactly?”

One of the two senior knights who had just arrived asked with a distorted expression, but instead of engaging in conversation on the battlefield, Kaiyan swung his sword to remind them that dialogue was a luxury.

“Kuh! It’s useless!”

Kwajik!

As their swords clashed, the two Auras fiercely wrestled, and the shockwaves radiated in all directions.

Uung!

“Ugh…”

Perhaps his enhanced Blaze Armor had already weakened, as he felt his stomach churning after the shockwave passed, unable to block it completely.

“…Is he truly an expert knight?”

The enemy was a highly skilled knight, on par with the Barvan Knights’ Hoil, boasting both swordsmanship and Aura mastery. Moreover…

“They’re here too! Kuhahaha!”

If there were two senior knights, there was one more. Fortunately, Kaiyan managed to take down the apparent leader of the knights just before they could join forces. If all three of them had united, even someone like him would have had no choice but to endure their attacks, let alone fight back.

With two senior knights, it would take some time, but Kaiyan was confident of victory. There were dozens of knights around, but they couldn’t intervene due to the shockwaves.

The problem was that Kaiyan didn’t have the confidence to wrap things up before the Knights, who were breaking through the soldiers, arrived.

“Is it time to retreat?”

His initial plan was to quickly eliminate them and hide before the Knights arrived, but at this rate, he risked exposing his abilities to the Vyraxar’s Knights.

“If it comes to that, Lord Vyraxar is sure to be a nuisance. It’s a pity, but there’s no other choice…”

“Wuaaah!”

With the intention of pushing the two knights away, Kaiyan supported the grip of the sword with both hands, then swung it vigorously, as if it were a two-handed sword.

Unaware that the knights were retreating instead of blocking Kaiyan’s sword head-on, they stepped back. They had no idea that this was Kaiyan’s plan.

“Good! Now…!”

As he put his regrets aside and urgently tried to pull back, a deafening roar echoed as if thousands of people were shouting right in front of him.
