Magic is Learned for Nothing – 378

# 378

Soldiers of Madness

The leader of the Left Army, Ebola.

Originally a 6-star general, he had broken through to become a 7-star general through the first human modification.

And after completing the second modification, he didn’t even get to confirm how strong he had become.

If it weren’t for the immediate war, he would have gone to the Dusselph Mountains to test his skills, wielding his sword against monsters.

There’s no regret.

He just needs to cut down things that feel good in his hands.

He is a beast-type general.

Leading the charge and slaughtering enemies. That is the joy of his life. He couldn’t sleep if he didn’t get blood on his hands for even a day.

The person he hated the most was Marquis Forsethe.

Although he was his superior, he hated his nobility.

He hated that he possessed both martial and intellectual prowess.

He wasn’t someone who got his hands dirty like himself.

In Ebola’s eyes, Marquis Forsethe was neither one thing nor the other. That’s why he hated him.

Then, he suddenly disappeared.

He thought he would return in a few days, but he didn’t. Marquis Forsethe and his soldiers were still missing.

He felt relieved.

It felt like a thorn had been removed.

Now…….

I am the king.

Marquis Ebola looked at Marquis AIDS, who was in charge of the Central Army.

The world evaluates him and himself similarly.

Mighty warriors who devour enemies based on overwhelming force.

But now the evaluation will change.

I am above him.

Kingdom’s Top 7?

Tell them all to get lost.

I am the strongest in the kingdom.

Ebola smiled grimly as he watched the approaching Royal Army.

“Enemy approaching within 1 kilometer! First line, take defensive positions!”

The adjutant shouted loudly.

Originally, the Royal Army was at an advantage with an overall force ratio of about 6:4.

However, after a series of victories in the initial attack and battles, the Royal Army gained an advantage of about 7:3.

And they have a hidden card.

Hundreds of knights who succeeded in human modification were glaring with bloodshot eyes.

What to say.

When you succeed in human modification, you feel like you’ve broken free from the moral constraints that bind humans.

You return to the beginning.

To the age of hunting.

They too would be feeling exactly what he had felt.

The moment he saw them, he felt like he was encountering wild animals.

Other subordinates instinctively became frightened and couldn’t approach them.

Of course, the Royalists also noticed.

Malaria and 100 knights among the King’s 5 Great Warriors, who had undergone human modification, were all killed.

From the Duke’s Army’s perspective, it was a huge loss.

On the other hand, the Royalists would be elated.

They were probably overjoyed that they had destroyed all of the Duke’s Army’s secret weapons.

That’s why they shouted for a full-scale charge like crazy boars.

Fools…….

There were several times more human-modified knights than them.

The Royalists don’t know how scary they are.

They will soon find out.

They will see hell.

“The first clash with the enemies is imminent.”

Pfft.

Marquis Ebola twisted his lips. Cruelty emerged on his face.

A small advance party.

Only about 5,000 men.

With that number, they can’t even break through the first defensive line. They might even be crushed and annihilated.

Like puppies afraid of nothing.

“Who is in the advance party? Did we get any information?”

Marquis Ebola asked his adjutant.

“The enemy’s advance party is John Wick.”

“John Wick?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm.”

A person he had heard of. He was probably Duke Sijinpi’s closest aide. He remembers him as a quite desirable figure.

A staunch and highly loyal person with considerable martial prowess.

Compared to the Duke’s 5 Great Warriors, the Central 5 felt lacking.

That’s actually the case.

If it’s John Wick, he would have been a vice-commander of the advance party in the Duke’s Army.

A quite tempting friend, but not to that extent.

“If it’s a fruit we can’t have, then blow it up.”

“Understood.”

The adjutant, nodding, ordered his subordinates to raise their flags.

The first line, forming a defensive barrier, thrust forward their sarisas (4-5 meter long thrusting infantry spears).

“Ooh! Ooh!”

The Duke’s Army shouted loudly, preparing for the approaching enemy advance party.

The two forces gradually approached.

The distance was only about 100 meters.

A distance that could be reached in the blink of an eye.

“Ooh! Ooh!”

The Duke’s Army, forming a defensive barrier, was also tense. The infantry at the very front were the ones who would die, whether it was the Duke’s Army or the Royal Army.

“Prepare for impact!”

The squad leaders of each squad shouted loudly.

Dudududududu!

In that moment!

Kukukukukukung!

The two armies collided violently.

“Impact!”

Marquis Ebola’s adjutant shouted with all his might. It was the adjutant’s first battle.

He had been in the military for over 10 years, but it was his first time actually participating in combat.

He naturally thought they would win, but he couldn’t help but be nervous.

“Relax, Smurf.”

“Ah, I apologize, Your Excellency.”

“Watch. The strength of our army. It will be much greater than you think.”

“Understood.”

The adjutant Smurf took a deep breath. And he examined the enemy’s advance party that had collided with the first line of defense.

“Huh?”

Something was a bit strange.

Wasn’t the first line of defense splitting wide open to the sides? From a distance, it looked like a giant was grabbing and tearing them apart with both hands.

“Uwaaaaak!”

“Wh-what? What are these things?”

“First line collapsing!”

“What are the spearmen in the second line doing? Help us!”

Their desperate screams echoed throughout Ebola’s army.

The Royal Army was slowly moving. But it hadn’t yet escalated into a full-scale war.

Because there were so many troops, they couldn’t move carelessly.

It was a probing battle.

From the Royal Army’s perspective, they were probably trying to gauge the combat power of the knights who had undergone human modification, using the warrior John Wick.

If they were manageable, great.

If it seemed dangerous, they would just let the warrior John Wick escape.

Marquis Ebola and his adjutants thought so.

But…….

What is that?

The first line of defense, which had been stopping the enemy’s charge at the very front, was collapsing in an instant.

The advance party that broke through the first line of defense immediately pounced on the heavy infantry who were preparing to attack from behind.

The heavy infantry hadn’t yet grasped the exact situation. They hadn’t even thought that the enemy’s forces would reach this place.

Their target was the enemy’s knights.

The reason they had made their armor as thick as possible was to block mana blades [blades made of magical energy].

They could sufficiently block one or two shots.

They could be said to be the strongest force among the infantry.

Then their vision suddenly cleared. The infantry unit in front of them collapsed like dominoes.

And thousands of enemies stormed in.

The moment they said, “Huh?”-

The game was over in an instant.

It was impossible.

It was unbelievable.

Everyone was firing aura blades. As they swept through, hundreds of heavy infantry died en masse.

The heavy infantry who barely survived were trampled by the enemy’s second line.

The enemy’s second line was also firing mana blades.

“Uh, uh, uh?”

Marquis Ebola’s elated face gradually turned to one of astonishment.

* * *

Today, Legion relentlessly knocked down his opponents with the Staff of Supreme Awesomeness.

The Staff of Supreme Awesomeness turned off his consciousness. He realized that no matter how much he shouted, “I have an ego!”, it was useless.

It only hurts when you’re conscious.

It’s more comfortable to be unconscious.

You ignorant fool who doesn’t even know you’re holding a treasure in your hands!

You’re the only bastard who wouldn’t even give a name to the Staff of Supreme Awesomeness like me and use it as a striking weapon.

Whether he cursed or not, Legion gleefully swung the Staff of Supreme Awesomeness.

The enemies hit by his staff all fell in one blow.

“Uwaaaa! You little pup. I am the unsanitary lettuce of the shepherd!”

Paak!

The dog meat disappeared.

“Kuhahahaha! This is the end! I am the jaywalking king’s fine!”

Paaaaak!

“That’s far enough. You can’t go any further. I am the unlicensed drunk driving knight!”

Paak!

Legion completely turned the last knight into dust.

“Kill that bastard!”

From the front, over a hundred heavy infantry and knights charged at Legion with their eyes flipped.

Legion smirked as he looked at them and cast a spell.

“Drunk driving is punished fivefold!”

In that moment, the sky tore open and hundreds of flames poured down towards the ground.

From a distance, you might exclaim, “Wow!” and call it a spectacle.

But to those directly affected, it was not a beautiful sight. Each and every one was a powerful meteor + fire magic with the power of a 5th circle spell [a high-level magic spell].

Hundreds of them.

Kukukukukukukung!

At least a radius of several hundred meters was completely evaporated and disappeared.

This place is a mix of well-paved roads and meadows.

To make defense easier in Poman, all the trees had been cut down over a radius of several kilometers.

But all of that was broken down into molecules and disappeared completely.

It was a horrifying scene that even reports couldn’t believe.

It wasn’t just the 100 or so heavy infantry and knights who disappeared.

At least 10 times that number of troops disappeared without even screaming.

The soldiers of Marquis Ebola, forgetting to cheer at how terrifying the scene was, could only swallow dryly as they watched the spectacle.

What if I had been there?

The soldiers of Marquis Ebola were shivering all over, even though it wasn’t a cold winter.

Their gazes landed on one place.

A man who was madly swinging a staff without even wearing a helmet in this battlefield.

Even from a distance, you could tell at a glance that he was an incredibly handsome man.

But no longer did that man’s appearance feel handsome.

A grim reaper.

A brutal grim reaper had suddenly dropped onto the heads of their troops.

Who the hell is that man?

“What is that?”

“What?”

“Is that the magic our lord is casting right now?”

“Hey, no way. It must be Mammon.”

“I can’t see Mammon, though?”

“No way. What magic can our lord cast?”

“I think I heard he was a mage.”

“Still, isn’t that the kind of magic that only Mammon can cast?”

Watching the horrifying spectacle unfold before their eyes, the soldiers of Legion’s army couldn’t help but be astonished.

Dreyzier and his exclusive servants knew how strong Legion was.

It was a natural thing, as they had been together for a long time.

But the 500 bodyguards or contract mercenaries who had recently sworn allegiance to Dreyzier didn’t know much about Legion.

In fact, apart from the team leaders, even the regular soldiers didn’t know much about Legion.

They thought that the strongest person in the territory was Dreyzier, Mammon, or Sepia.

Excluding Bone Dragon or Daganda Z.

Because he was a lord who spent more time wandering abroad than staying in the territory, they didn’t even have much of a chance to see his face.

But then, that lord suddenly said that he would stand at the very front of the vanguard.

The soldiers were uneasy.

In chess, the lord is the king.

If the king is captured, the game is over. That’s why the king should always hide at the very back. The king never stands at the very front.

But the lord stood at the front.

Some soldiers spoke to the squad leaders.

“Abdul Jabbar.”

“Why?”

“Why is the lord standing at the front? Is this also a strategy? Or is it another man who looks like the lord?”

“Strategy?”

“Yes.”

“If it’s a strategy, then it’s a strategy.”

“What kind of strategy is it?”

“A total annihilation strategy.”

“What?”

“It’s only natural for the strongest warrior in the territory to defeat the enemy’s vanguard.”

“Since Sepia isn’t here, the strongest person is Dreyzier.”

“Dreyzier…… is incredibly strong.”

“It’s not just incredible. I think he might be the strongest person in the kingdom.”

“Hey, hey, don’t be so sure. How many hidden powerhouses are there in the kingdom?”

“He’s one of the Kingdom’s Top 7 officially recognized by the kingdom.”

“That’s right. He used to be in the top ten at least.”

“Used to be?”

“Yeah, used to be. Now, I guarantee he’s in the top three.”

“Then Dreyzier is the strongest person in our territory.”

“That’s……. I can’t be sure.”

“Why?”

“I heard…….”

“What?”

“The lord is stronger than Mammon and Dreyzier.”

“Hey, no way.”

The soldiers didn’t believe it.

They didn’t believe it but…….

“It’s exploding again! Duck your heads!”

Hundreds of meteors summoned by the lord were passing over their heads.

And…….

Kukukukukukukung!

Their vision turned white.
