Regressor of the Fallen Family novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

Episode 99

The strange arrows no longer fly towards us.

What are the odds that this is a trick?

None. Even if it were a trick, its unlikely they have much left in their arsenal.

Right. Theyre trapped on all sides, and now they must be running out of supplies. Theyll destroy themselves if we leave them. Wont they?

Thats correct. Within a week, no, a few days, I expect them to come out on their own.

Hmm. We just wait and strike them down when theyre exhausted.

An overwhelmingly advantageous situation.

But Roger Viproz had no intention of waiting those few days longer, as his anger had already been held in check long enough.

Theres no need to wait to catch a toothless, clawless mouse. Flantz!

Yes! Ive been waiting for the order.

A determined voice.

Not just the McLine camp had been stressed by the recent retreat tacticsit had affected everyone.

Those rats dared to invade my land. I will personally tear them apart.

With a declaration filled with murderous intent.

Full assault. Bring me the heads of the McLine father and son to my feet!

Yes!

Tomodo Castle was once again plunged into turmoil.

Theyre all coming! Were surrounded on all sides!

Even without the soldiers near-scream, everyone could see the enemy forces pressing in from all directions.

As Logan watched the enemys all-out assault, his eyes twitched.

We must hold out. We have to hold on somehow!

Despite the unexpected turn of events, he had no other choice but to rely on his memories from a previous life and hope the enemy would delay a bit longer.

Of course, he couldnt just lie down and die.

Wait for my command. Well pour everything weve got into them when they get close.

Yes!

With hushed responses, instructions quickly spread in all directions.

They had deliberately refrained from using rapid-fire crossbows since the day before, saving whatever power they had for their last counterattack.

I didnt expect wed have to use it this quickly.

Logans eyes darted about, assessing the momentum of the enemy knights scattered on all sides.

He was trying to pinpoint Aslan, Flantz, and the positions of their elite knights.

But of course, in such a vast army, it was a daunting task to find those who were determined to hide.

Even the most conspicuous knight among them was the same case.

Has Aslan discarded that armor? Or is he really gone?

But Logans thoughts concerning the missing elite knight didnt last long, as Roger Viprozs voice, amplified by magic, signalled the enemys full-blown attack.

Fire!

Pabababak!

Argh!

The last remaining cartridges of the rapid-fire crossbows proved their value at the very least.

The enemy mages were persistent, but since their disruptions were focused around their knights, the last volley aimed at the enemy cavalry and infantry behind them had greater impact than expected.

Of course, that didnt change the tide of battle.

Die.

Chjeooeeuk!

Logan split a knights head that had just surfaced over the ramparts with a swift blow, then quickly looked for the next sacrifice.

Chwaaaak!

Argh!

Once you run out of arrows, grab a spear! Even the enemys sword will dothrust it in!

Logan shouted with a furious voice, prioritizing the enemy knights that were climbing up.

With all his senses heightened, he scanned his surroundings.

Its Mun Knight! Stop him!

On the southern rampart, a detestable knight had appeared among the intermediate knights.

However, Logan was unable to move.

McLine! Ill take your head!

It is the will of Viproz!

Die!

Five elite knights, most of Viprozs remaining high-ranked knights, were rushing towards him.

In a way, the power they represented was more daunting than even the might of a single top-ranking knight.

There was no time to worry about any other fronts.

Especially since someone had already been assigned to handle Flantz.

Hold as long as you can!

Logan clenched his teeth and braced himself, swinging his golden sword.

This time, it ends!

Flantz swung his beloved sword Glacies fiercely, the chill it unleashed adding potency to the silver-whip-like force blades.

The over 3-meter-long silver whip writhed irregularly, and the soldiers caught in its wake were torn apart and froze without understanding their doom.

As Flantz devastated the southern rampart, a red blade flew towards him.

Not so fast!

Kwaang!

Hmph. An amateur

After a few clashes confirming his superiority over his enemy, Flantz sneered at the appearance of his opponent, Padric McLine.

However, that sneer was short-lived when he caught sight of the familiar blade in Padrics hand.

That sword!

A fine sword, isnt it? Its called Velocitas. Lets finish this.

Padric grasped the artifact his son had passed on, withdrawing as much force from it as he could.

It doesnt quite suit me.

There was no way he didnt understand that his sons words were out of concern for him.

Despite a gap in their true capabilities, unlike his son who had defeated an elite knight of the highest order, he felt his own inadequacy compared to someone of Flantzs rank.

But with such an artifact, he could smash at least one wretch in front of him.

It was essential. It would make all the difference in their unfavorable situation.

Padric, drawing upon the artifacts power, charged at his foe with all his might.

Logan was fighting splendidly, even if he did say so himself.

He was not only repelling the combined assault of five knights of equal rank but had killed one of them.

However, he couldnt use Metal Cleaving, which had been effective initially, and was in no condition to wield the energy-intensive Divine Sword Vision.

He could only stretch himself to his limits, relying on the power of Ghost Shadow and Wind Gods Boots to withstand the remaining knights attacks.

Logans complexion grew increasingly strained, but the same was true for the elite knights assaulting him.

What a monster

How can he be so strong at his age!

We must kill him here!

Ignoring the enemys taunts, Logan focused on the onslaught of attacks and waited for a chance to turn the tide.

Just a little longer, just a little more!

Most of McLines overwhelmingly disadvantaged forces had gathered around him, and now enemies were ascending the wall, not just knights but soldiers too.
