Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World

Chapter 141



Tasty Past Bait is Fundamental to Catch a Big Fish! (6)

Breshir had been completely ruined.

Flames were scattered across the place.

The walls had collapsed, and corpses littered throughout the building.

Most of the Fairy Kingdom’s regular troops and the Count’s troops were either killed or had fled.

Count Breshir wasn’t safe either.

Everything below his neck had been crumpled, and his head had been put on a stake.

On the other hand, Eflen, the commander of the Fairy Kingdom Army, was still alive.

“Urgh…”

A black-haired beauty walked toward him slowly, moaning.

Eflen looked up at her and screamed.

“Kill me, you maniacs!”

She talked to him, looking down indifferently.

“Tell Hollien that it won’t go the way she wants.”

At that moment, Eflen’s eyes flushed.

“… You?”

Little was known about that black-haired female Valtara warrior.

Due to the outstanding presence of the Sword King’s successor, she became relatively less eye-catching.

Thus, the public only recognized her as a partner of the ‘Valtara warrior, Felard Bean.’

But if he looked at her attitude at that moment…

‘What is it? Does she know the Queen?’

Kibie gave him a big smile and turned away.

“Tell her. Then she’ll figure it out.”

Eflen screamed, staring at her back.

“This is not the end!”

Eflen acknowledged that the successor of the Sword King was a monster beyond imagination.

He had never expected that he would lose with 14 Aliens that were around level 100!

However, there was no future for the Holy Punishers!

“Do you think this is the only area we’ve sent the Aliens to?”

The Fairy Kingdom’s regular army was also dispatched to the lands of other ‘corrupted noble families.’

Among them, ‘Hollien’s Secret Power’ was secretly deployed.

Since the Sword King’s successor or the third blessed by the Goddess was so powerful, they could defeat the secret power.

But what about the other Templar Lords?

“You are fine, but everyone else will die!”

However, Kibie was calm.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Without looking back, she smiled insidiously.

“We’ve already prepared for that.”

Southern Allendia, Viscount Shastlain.

Sabine Asil, Althea Church’s Templar Lord, and the fifty Templars were similar to Han-bin’s group.

When they broke through the castle gate of Viscount Shastlain, the regular army of the Fairy Kingdom was already on standby.

“Foolish, Lady Asil. You thought we couldn’t figure out what you were doing?”

The commander, Sir Lalius, gestured triumphantly.

“Come out, sinners!”

Behind the positioned regular troops, a group of armed men appeared, their eyes flashing.

“I don’t see a level unknown.”

“She doesn’t seem to be moving with them.”

“But the rest are high enough.”

“Not bad. Hahaha.”

They all smiled with a look of anticipation.

Sabine squinted at them.

“As expected…”

As soon as she saw a person, she could pinpoint her opponent’s level as Aliens did.

However, she could understand the roughness through the feeling.

The opponents were at or above her level.

There were more than ten such people.

There was only one case in which such a strong group had been so anonymous.

“They are Aliens of Akhtarun.”

Unlike Han-bin’s group, there was no chance of winning if they fought against them with Sabine Asil’s power alone.

They would unconditionally lose.

Nevertheless, she wasn’t particularly embarrassed.

“That’s what I heard.”

Sabin raised her right hand.

“Templars!”

She gave an order in a cold voice.

“Retreat!”

As soon as she gave the order, the Templars moved in unison.

Each horse turned its head and began to move toward the gate they passed through.

The Aliens laughed.

“That’s funny.”

“Who said you’re allowed to go?”

It was stupid.

They would only get attacked if they showed their back to their opponents.

Of course, the Templars didn’t just retreat.

Soon, the repercussions of the Spirit hit the Aliens.

“I will be the one who misleads the cause!”

It was an illusion skill cast by the Spiritists in Sabine Asil’s army.

At that moment, Sabine and the Templars’ images increased dozens of times, filling the view.

They used the illusion to buy time while they retreated.

Still, it wasn’t very intelligent.

“Do you think low-level guys can delude us?”

Just focusing on their minds for a while, the Aliens broke their illusory spell.

They then launched a formidable offensive against the fleeing Templars.

Boom!

Aura, magic spells, and Magic Swordsmanship techniques were all fired away.

Sabine Asil and the Templars caught up in the explosion were erased from view as if they were melting down.

Only then did the Aliens panic.

“Huh?”

“What? That’s also an illusion?”

One of the Aliens noticed the trick and shouted.

“A double illusion using magic and spiritual arts!”

When fighting with Ryu Han-bin, Almara and Saltus managed to escape with a mixture of both illusions.

The Han-bin’s group, who had been quite impressed by the method, also taught the other Templar Lords about it.

Before they knew it, the Holy Punishers were already running hard through the fields, leaving the castle’s premises.

“Run! Do not stop!”

“If we get caught, it’ll be the end!”

Sir Lalius, who had a blank look for a while, soon came to his senses and ordered.

“Ch-chase them! Don’t let them get away!”

It was only a temporary measure. If it were inside a dungeon of distorted space, it would be impossible, but they could chase the Templars in an open field.

A fierce chase proceeded in the darkness of the night.

Accompanied by high-level Aliens, the Fairy Kingdom army chased the Holy Punishers with all its might.

Eventually, the Holy Punishers became rats in a jar.

Unable to get away, the Holy Punishers hid inside the nearby temple of Rhamniana.

After blocking them from fleeing by surrounding the temple, Sir Lalius snorted.

“Huh, it turns out they’ve colluded with the church!”

That allowed the blindfolded Water Church to commit crimes together.

The Fairy Kingdom army proudly headed to the main gate of the temple.

And they faced an unexpected situation.

Tibrel, the head of the temple’s parish, and some of the believers politely greeted them and said the following:

“I thank Allendia for your cooperation in the name of Rhamniana. We were able to arrest all those that were disobedient.”

“… What are you talking about?”

Sir Lalius, who didn’t understand the situation for a moment, gave a blank look.

The Diocese of Tibrel kindly explained.

In other words, Sabine Asil and Althea’s Templars, who had refused orders from the church, realized their foolishness and entrusted themselves to the temple.

According to regulations, the temple had arrested all of them and was preparing to transport them to Althea’s general headquarters.

“Now that the Rhamniana Church has overpowered them all, you can go back safely!”

Sir Lalius frowned, looking at the smile of Tibrel as if he had chewed bullshit.

‘What are you talking about?’

* * *

The temple of Yessen near the Kiyumet estate in northern Allendia.

Lord Aligon, commander of the Fairy Kingdom Army, surrounded the temple and was in a state of bewilderment.

“Huh, what the hell…”

Like the Shastlain estate, Lord Aligon was dispatched to the Guillomet estate to prepare for the Holy Punishers’ attack.

After waiting for about ten days, the expected customers came.

It was Palmer, Yessen’s Templar Lords, and he brought the Templars under his command.

They had enough power to deal with the intruders.

There were as many as a dozen powerful Aliens in the regular army led by Aligon.

There, the same situation happened with the Shastlain estate.

The Holy Punishers gave up the battle and jumped off after casting illusory spells!

After chasing them hard, the Templars hid in the Yessen Temple near the Kiyumet estate.

So the commander yelled at the temple to give them up, and such a replay came back.

– Now that the Yessen Church has overpowered them all, you can go back safely!

A black-haired young man grumbled as he looked at the red roof of the Yessen temple far away.

“There’s a limit to treating us like a fool! Let’s go in and grab them!”

Looking back at the Akhtarun’s Alien, Oogi Jun, he let out a sigh.

“… We can’t.”

Officially, the Fairy Kingdom and the six Churches were not enemies.

It was against sound reasoning for the Fairy Kingdom forces to attack the Yessen Church’s temple, not the Holy Punishers.

Oogi Jun frowned.

“Are you sure you’re going to play with these punks? I’m sure they’ll be treated well, and then they’ll take a rest and run away!”

“Do you think I don’t know that?”

Lord Aligon shook his head after showing off his anger.

Of course, he knew it was a lie, but he had no choice but to move on.

That was the Fairy Kingdom’s position and the position of Lord Aligon, the commander of the Allendia regular army.

Oogi Jun, who became frustrated, gave a different opinion.

“Then let’s keep the siege going. One day, they’ll crawl back out.”

Even that was rejected.

“It will become a head-on attack on the Yessen Church. It’s like we are doing what they want.”

The Holy Punishers’ simultaneous raids also aimed to undermine Hollien’s reputation.

If they attacked the church there, they would lose more than they would gain.

Oogi Jun clicked his tongue as if he didn’t understand.

“That’s ridiculous. Does this nonsense work?”

“It doesn’t make sense to you Aliens who see the world only through the strength of their level.”

Lord Aligon turned his horse away.

“Let’s go back. There’s nothing more we can do.”

* * *

The battle between the Holy Punishers and the Fairy Kingdom’s army continued throughout Allendia.

The Fairy Kingdom, joined by Akhtarun’s Aliens, was far higher than the Holy Punishers’ level and number.

All of the sieges they started, except for the Breshir estate that the Sword King’s successor had attacked, ended in the Holy Punishers’ defeat.

Nevertheless, they didn’t suffer much damage.

They all fled before the battle broke out and hid in a nearby temple.

Of course, there could be no sacrifice in the meantime.

It was true that they lost a significant number of Templars and collaborators.

Still, it was not at a level that affected their overall power tremendously.

On the other hand, Hollien’s reputation declined more and more vertically.

-I heard the Fairy Kingdom army is using Aliens.

-What? That’s the same as what the Goddess’s oracle told us.

-Well, that doesn’t mean the Queen has been corrupted! I’m sure she told us that she forced them to give in. To make them cleanse their sins…

-That’s true, but it’s a bit suspicious…

Ryu Han-bin smiled at the news.

As a result, a bait named ‘Shaking People’s Heart’ was thrown throughout the Fairy Kingdom.

“Now, shall we begin phase two?”
