A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 97: (2)



At the moment when Kaiyan went to meet the Vyraxar territorial army, the Armis territorial army had already crossed the boundaries of Markain.

The Armis territorial army numbered over ten thousand troops in total. Compared to the Markain territorial army, which had barely over five hundred soldiers, this number was beyond imagination.

“Hahaha! Those foolish Markain fools!”

“Haha… That’s right.”

As the flamboyantly armored Armis count burst into laughter at the forefront, the knights around him awkwardly followed suit, glancing around cautiously.

Count Armis, for some reason, looked at his younger brother, Karian, who was in their midst, as if he were annoyed.

“Karian, it’s truly unfortunate to lose a son, but must you be so obvious to the knights around you?”

In response to Count Armis’ reproach, Karian briefly glanced at him and then lowered his head.

“…I will be more careful.”

“Hahaha! Good! If we can take revenge for the death of your son, isn’t that enough? I’ll let you lead the charge, so make those Markain fools surrender properly!”

“I understand.”

Turning away, Karian shot a red-eyed glare at the Count Armis, who was laughing, as if he were looking at his nemesis. However, Count Armis remained oblivious to this fact and moved toward Markain Castle, encouraging his soldiers.

When the Armis army had advanced about three hours with the Perryan Forest on their side, they could finally see Markain Castle in the distance.

The small Markain Castle, which appeared shabby and even crude compared to the enormous Armis Castle.

Upon gazing at the castle, Count Armis burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! They’ve set up soldiers thinking they can stop me like that! Sir Verane!”

In response to the Count Armis’ call, Sir Verane, who was in charge of the Armis territorial army, stepped forward.

“Yes, my lord!”

“How much time do you need to capture that pathetic castle?”

“…Sir Karian’s elite unit will be at the forefront, so I can capture the castle in just one hour.”

“One hour! Good! Karian, assist Sir Verane in capturing Markain Castle! I’m giving you a chance for my son’s revenge.”

Karian chuckled and nodded slightly at Armis, who was talking about revenge.

“All right, before we start, send a knight to officially declare territorial war.”

Upon Count Armis’ command, a massive knight wielding a halberd, which combined an axe and a spear, stepped forward, looking as if he couldn’t understand what was happening.

“My lord, do we really need to do this? The permission has already been granted by the royal court, so we can just proceed!”

“You fool! Don’t you understand that we should carry out such tasks more diligently as they become more significant? An investigation team will probably come around when this is over, and there’s no need to give us any unnecessary trouble. Follow orders.”

“Yes, sir!”

Startled by the Count’s reprimand, the knight hurriedly mounted a horse and approached Markain Castle.

“Huff… I volunteered for this troublesome task. Hehe! I am Bavons, A knight of the Armis family! From now on, listen to the words of Lord Armis!”

As Bavons shouted so loudly that the city walls echoed, a petite girl emerged from the wall, looking irritated.

“I am Linda de Markain, the lord of Markain. What’s going on here?”

“Oh! I heard you were young, but you’re even younger than I thought! To think that such a young child would try to defend the territory, haha!”

“…I asked you what’s going on.”

As Bavons spoke with a dismissive tone, the knights and soldiers on the city wall aimed their bows at him. Bavons, looking flustered, prepared to flee, opening his mouth with apparent frustration.

“Ahem! I will convey the words of Count Armis! From now on, the Armis family officially declares a territorial war against the Markain family! Remember, the only way for you guys not to die is to surrender! Irya!”

After delivering that message, Bavons hurriedly fled. Some of the soldiers laughed at his retreat, but most of the knights and soldiers on the city wall did not look pleased, realizing that the current situation was no laughing matter.

“Sigh…”

“Lord, do you really have a solution? I apologize for saying this… but if there’s no way, it might be better to surrender…”

Claren, the oldest among the eleven knights remaining in Markain, spoke, and the other knights nodded in agreement.

Linda looked at them as if they were pathetic, then turned her gaze to Anton.

“Uncle Anton, send the signal.”

“Understood!”

Anton, who received Linda’s command, quickly retreated, and the knights stared at him as if asking what was happening.

“You all can stay here and watch. We never intended to entrust Markain’s safety to those who surrendered.”

“Lord, it’s unavoidable…”

“Yes. Lord, please observe the overwhelming enemy forces. Even with just over 500 soldiers, we can’t hold out the city walls. It might be better to su-surrender…”

Although Linda felt the knights’ excuses were pitiful, she couldn’t blame them for suggesting surrender. If it weren’t for Kaiyan, she might have surrendered herself. Or perhaps the situation wouldn’t have escalated to this point in the first place.

“Meeting Mr. Kaiyan was the greatest luck for me.”

While Linda was thinking this, Anton, who had gone to send the signal, climbed to the highest tower and tore a scroll in his hand. At the same time, a white lump of light appeared before him, and he fell backward. The lump of light quickly rose into the sky.

Pwoom!

With a small noise, the high-flying white lump of light burst into the sky, emitting a strong light for a very short time before disappearing.

“Did that really work? It seemed too short.”

The time the light burst was so brief that if you weren’t looking at the sky, you might have missed it. However, there was someone who definitely saw the light clearly at the border of the Perryan Forest, the closest to Markain Castle.

A boy with a white kitten on his shoulder.

“Alright, it’s started. Rieka, if we defeat the knights, our G points should increase significantly, right?”

“Of course! Since they learned Aura, they give more G than most large monsters!”

That was none other than Kaiyan. Behind him, there were a large number of soldiers, numbering over two hundred, armed in splendid armor, enough to overwhelm the Armis army, rising from the forest.
