A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 99: (2)

In response to Armis’s urgency, Verane quickly sent one of the knights nearby to the heavy infantrymen, and from a distance, Karian, riding on a black horse, raised his hand while looking at Markain Castle.

Linda, who had confirmed the signal, nodded towards Karian and glanced at the Markain knights who were panicking because they didn’t know what was happening.

“Open the castle gates.”

“What? What do you mean by that…?”

“The soldiers will go out.”

“Yes? Are you saying that now? There are heavy infantrymen outside…”

The bewildered knights, who were responding to Linda’s orders, glanced at the heavy infantrymen outside and shook their heads as if it were absurd. They thought it was reckless to face the heavy infantrymen outside with just 500 soldiers.

Seeing the knights’ confused behavior, Linda frowned.

“Ugh… it’s really frustrating. Don’t you understand the situation yet? They’ve already made a pact with Markain. So open the castle gates now and command the soldiers.”

“Ah, understood.”

Only then did Linda turn her attention to the knights who were hastily commanding the soldiers.

“Mr. Kaiyan.”

In the distance, Kaiyan, riding a black horse, was slaughtering Armis’s knights.

“Kwaaah! Die!”

“From behind?”

Thanks to activating thought Acceleration in advance, Kaiyan vividly felt someone behind him thrusting a sword toward him in a sneak attack.

“Huup! Haaah!”

Swinging the sword widely, Kaiyan knocked away the knight who had been facing him, and without turning his gaze, he quickly swung his sword towards the back, feeling the sensation of cutting flesh with his fingertips.

“If I had been a little late, it would have been dangerous.”

Maximizing sensory abilities through thought Acceleration, something only Kaiyan could do.

Just as it worked during the Monster Wave, sensory abilities shone brightly in human combat as well. Sensory abilities eliminated the blind spots that should naturally exist for humans.

Thanks to this, even though he didn’t release his full power, Kaiyan could swing his sword as he pleased, striking down the knights coming at him.

“This monster!”

The knight, who witnessed his colleague’s death in front of him, widened his eyes and swung his sword.

Judging by sight, it was a simple diagonal cut. But in reality…

“I know too!”

Halfway through the descent, Kaiyan abruptly thrust the sword toward the knight’s sword, filled with Aura, which was quicker than a simple slash. The desperate knight tried to quickly retrieve his sword, but…

Chaeng!

“Kuugh!”

Unable to withstand the force of Kaiyan’s heavily swung sword, the knight’s sword was sent flying into the sky.

This is why he didn’t use thrusting as much as swinging. Because when it fails, there’s a huge vulnerability.

Pwoosh!

Kaiyan thrust the sword into the confused knight’s throat, and he stared at him for a moment, as if angry, before lowering his head.

Ding! [You’ve leveled up]

[Kaiyan, you’ve leveled up!]

It was a pleasant notification that he hadn’t heard in a while.

Feeling his stamina replenishing after the level-up, Kaiyan relished the sensation and shifted his gaze to find his next opponent.

“I have to kill more.”

Unlike killing regular soldiers, there was no hesitation or sympathy when it came to killing knights.

As he searched for prey, a distant cry echoed from the location of the Markain Castle.

“Waaaaah!”

Turning his attention in that direction, Kaiyan saw heavily armored foot soldiers from the Markain stronghold shouting as they slowly advanced toward the rear of the Armis’ army.

“Linda and Karian are doing well.”

Count Armis’ army probably thought the heavily armored foot soldiers were allies approaching, not realizing that it was a deadly trap set by Kaiyan and Karian.

“Linda seems smarter than I thought!”

“Yes, that’s Linda’s plan.”

Initially, Kaiyan’s plan had excluded the Markain territorial army. However, Linda insisted on participating in the war happening in her own territory, and the result was what was happening now.

As the heavily armored foot soldiers approached, pretending to be allies, and Markain soldiers armed with bows waited behind them, the moment they reached the Armis army’s rear, this war would effectively be over.

“Let’s move faster before the war ends! Hyah!”

As he held the reins, his faithful companion understood his intent and charged quickly toward the knights.

“Penetrating Stab!”

A powerful thrust arrived, taking advantage of the distracted Armis knight who seemed preoccupied with fighting the Vyraxar knight.

“Thunk!”

“Aaargh! You cowardly bastards!”

The knight whose arm was pierced by Kaiyan’s sword screamed in pain, cursing furiously.

“Idiots! Where’s the cowardice on the battlefield?”

“Kraaaaagh!”

Gripping the hilt firmly and raising the sword, Kaiyan’s powerful swing caused the knight’s arm to fall to the ground. As the knight retreated in confusion, preparing to strike him with his sword, Kaiyan swung his sword towards him.

“Thunk!”

As the knight whose arm had fallen back panicked and withdrew, the Vyraxar knight who had been fighting earlier pierced the heart of the retreating knight with his sword.

“I agree with that. If you can’t kill someone on the battlefield in fear of being cowardly, then you don’t belong on the battlefield.”

“This guy…”

One of the four senior knights who had been guarding the Vyraxar Count in close proximity.

Kaiyan thought he would naturally be next to the Vyraxar Count, who was monitoring from behind, but seeing his body covered in blood, it seemed like he had recklessly wandered around the battlefield like him from the start.

After wiping the blood off his sword, he moved his horse towards Kaiyan.

“Were you a Markain knight? I thought you weren’t because you looked so young, but now I see your skill is quite remarkable. Such skill at your age.”

Looking at the Vyraxar knight who gazed at him without hypocrisy, Kaiyan recalled an old knight who had treated him without pretense, despite ultimately betraying him.

He nodded slightly to the Vyraxar knight who looked at him without guile and moved his horse to avoid him.

“It’s best not to get involved with someone like that.”

He was no longer the past Kaiyan who was easily swayed in all directions. Now, the only thing he could trust were…

“My own abilities.”
