Overpowered Sword

Overpowered Sword Chapter 211

Level up with swords (211)

Necator’s attack did not just render Grania incapable of fighting. As soon as it revealed its power, it advanced, laying waste to the entire surrounding area, causing more than half of the city’s standing troops and internal facilities to collapse.

If Grania had not been alive and Adela and Ellahan had not worked hard to control the situation, the marquis-level territory might have collapsed overnight.

Still, two master-level personnel managed the security, and although the situation was not good, the archmage also showed his strength, so it was somehow resolved.

“Hmm.”

Grania sighed.

We had barely managed to repair the completely collapsed Port Roy, but we discovered an army approaching at high speed from outside the walls.

The number of troops was less than 10,000, but they were all cavalry.

Quite elite, from armor to weapon training. It was a too well-organized army to be dismissed as a rebel or something. I don’t know if I can stop it at all costs, but I can’t stop it in this state.

“Are you in trouble?”

Leon, seeing his frowning face, asked cautiously.

“…The army is approaching. The number of troops is about 10,000, and all types of troops are cavalry. “Seeing how they move in perfect order, it seems like their level of training is quite high.”

“For a rebel, the level is too high. “I heard that the margraves don’t train cavalry well.”

“It’s just as you said. So I don’t have anything to point out either.”

It was a difficult situation in many ways.

Grania tried to say something, but then closed her mouth.

It had to be that way.

The most important thing for Leon and his group is the destruction of the evil cult and the Nex operating in secret in Clyde. There was no reason to mediate or take sides in the conflict between the imperial army and the rebels.

Was that why?

“I guess I should go out of the castle and meet him in person.”

The old wizard’s eyes widened when he saw Leon casually mentioning that option.

In this situation, representing Portroy was the same as saying that you would take Grania’s side. Would you have thought that a hero who you thought would advocate neutrality would respond in this way?

But from Leon’s perspective, it was a different story.

It is about calculating political profits and losses and ignoring the tragedy that is happening behind our backs just to achieve our goals.

‘It wouldn’t be something a warrior would do.’

It was the proper thing for an owner of the Holy Sword to sarcastically say that someone would only take on a task that would result in losses.

* * *

Karen Elahan Adela The three responded immediately.

Leaving only Grania behind the walls, the four of them immediately ran outside the castle and faced the approaching army.

Clouds of dust rising from the horizon.

The sight created by 10,000 cavalry was truly spectacular.

“Who is the commander?”

“well. Still, wouldn’t he be a great noble?”

“It would be nice if it were an allied force. “If you drop just one head, you’ll be stranded in self-destruction.”

“For now, let’s not talk under the assumption that we will fight.”

The four men did not flinch at all even when facing an army of as many as 10,000 people. If we were to calculate the power ratio of four masters, each of whom was comparable to an army, it would be something that the opponent should be afraid of.

However, it was not easy to see the potential of Leon and his group.

He was a young man who looked like he was just a novice, and he had two beautiful women.

It was then.

“uh?”

The army that was running towards the castle as if they were about to attack it was gradually slowing down. As the dust cloud slowly subsided, the faces of the soldiers clutching their spears were revealed, and soon they came to a complete stop with about 500 meters left behind.

It became a bizarre situation where four people faced off against 10,000 people.

“…That.”

Everyone was perplexed by the unknown situation, but Leon’s eyes widened when he discovered the reason.

There were not one, but two.

The faces of friends I never thought I would see here.

Uninvited guests who had broken away from the lead began to approach them. There were also four of them. Coincidentally, these were all aspects that Leon knew well.

‘Lianne Chloe Gilbert…Cedric? ‘Why is that person there?’

I felt even more confused by the appearance of the , but I didn’t show it.

Tens of more seconds passed and the eight people faced each other.

Representatives for both sides were determined.

“It’s been a while, Lian.”

“Iknow, right.”

Lian also had a face that said he never expected to meet like this.

“I didn’t know that Leon, not anyone else, was in Portroy. Can you explain?”

“It doesn’t matter. “After listening to your story first.”

“All right.”

There was no hostility between the two, but it was clear who was in charge.

Even if you have an army of 10,000 at your back, there are only four masters.

If an all-out war begins, it will be a one-sided massacre.

That was something neither Leon nor Lian wanted.

After dismounting from their horses, Lian and his group properly prepared the ground and sat down facing Leon and his group in an individualized manner.

“Well then, where should I start…”

Lian, who had been trying to choose his words for several minutes, opened his mouth.

The story wasn’t long.

This is because it was impossible to resolve the issue while the leaders were talking among themselves, so even if it was a story, it was ultimately a dry listing of facts.

“is it.”

It was an easy-to-understand delivery.

Leon summarized the story briefly.

“You’re saying that you built your cause by consolidating the aristocratic forces that were purged by the ‘Gwang Emperor’ and the people who lost their focus, and defeating the sneak attack of the Hispania and Meryl Maritime Alliance that were targeting your back.”

“Yes, it’s simple.”

“This time it’s my car.”

Like Ryan’s, his story was short.

The two people were able to reconsider what they said and quickly come to an agreement.

From Leon’s point of view, he was not a rebel and there was no reason to stop the legitimate heir to the throne from seeking his rights, and from Lian’s point of view, it was an opportunity to seek the cooperation of the hero and the Holy Church who were supposed to save this world, so it was wise to join hands.

however.

“What, you’re not fighting?”

There was only one man left in the room who was displeased with the tension in the air.

〈Sword Demon〉 Cedric growled.

“I’m tired of cutting down ragtag groups. “If you tell me to hold on any longer, I will do as I please from here on out.”

Dense life comes out.

With that knife-like force, not only Leon and the others but even Lian stood up and confronted him.

There are no enemies or allies. If you want to cut, you will cut.

That was the only thought that existed for Cedric.

“―What is this crazy guy?”

Adela, seeing through his essence, grunted.

“He’s a guy who can be like Necator’s brother. Why are there so many people with holes in their heads?”

“What are you?”

“you? you? “How can a bastard with no blood on his head talk?”

Adela screamed and radiated force, and all the air that had sharpened like a knife was crushed and scattered.

Although it was a battle of momentum, Cedric was overwhelmed.

He was amazed when he realized its meaning.

“Awesome! “Let’s have a fight!”

“This son of a bitch is speaking informally to the end. “Hey, I’m going to come knock on that thing, so you guys can handle the story.”

“Can’t you kill me?”

“I’ll kill half of you.”

“Cardinal!”

Adela runs away to avoid Ellahan’s nagging, and Cedric runs after her.

The serious atmosphere collapsed in an instant.

Rian, with a bitter smile, expressed his feelings.

“Haha…you’re having a hard time too.”

“You are the one who manages to bring that murderer with you.”

“Even if it looks like that, it’s usually quiet as long as you please it. “It’s a shame that they don’t pay attention to the strategy, but if you just throw them in the middle of enemy territory, that’s it.”

Is it a double-edged sword?

It was possible to cut down the person using it, but it depended on the use. If you can handle it, it will be of great help.

Leon also experienced Cedric’s skills firsthand.

As a prosecutor, he is at the top level.

He is a strong player who can enter the top ranks even as a martial artist. In a situation where we didn’t know what kind of guys we would face in Karelum, with that kind of power, we had to make them join us even if it was only for a moment to please them.

“That Leon?”

“why.”

“The people here…”

Lian trailed off and glanced at the hilt of Leon’s sword.

Leon understood what that meant and nodded.

It was about time it became known. Considering the decisive battle in the Imperial Capital, it was a story that was even more difficult to hide.

“Do you know that I am a hero?”

“Yes, you already said that.”

Leon answered Lian, who had a puzzled expression on her face.

“How do you know my identity?”

“Oh, that’s…”

Lian, who was reflexively trying to look at Ellahan, came into view with her both fists tightly clenched and glaring at her.

Lian swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

It felt like if I said even one word wrong, it would be a big problem.

“I’m running an intelligence organization. “It’s not that big, but I’ve heard some rumors about you.”

“If you know enough, do other people know too?”

“well. There are so many unclear stories. Like fighting an old king in the desert or dying while on an expedition in the Kingdom of Jugend. “Because I know Leon, I was able to tell the truth, but other people can’t do that.”

Did you research surprisingly well? Leon, who was thinking about this, changed his words.

“You already know my identity, so there’s no need to say more. “Let’s move on to the future.”

Then Chloe pursed her lips.

Even though it had been a long time since I had seen him, I couldn’t speak because of an unknown feeling of guilt.

“Les Leon? how have you been doing?”

“huh?”

Leon’s eyes widened at that unexpected question.

The two people’s eyes met.

And Chloe could tell. The emotions expressed in his eyes are those of a childhood friend and not those of looking at a woman.

Now, Chloe has completely become ‘his past.’

“You seem to be doing well. thank god.”

You can know even without hearing the answer.

Leonman tilted his head, not understanding the context of the conversation.

Rian, who recognized this, gently intervened.

“So, was this your first time since you left the academy?”

Come to think of it, several years have already passed.

Nevertheless, the faces were familiar as if I had seen them only yesterday, so my connection with them must not have been shallow.

Leon agreed to those words and continued the story.

A meeting with Karen, a bad relationship with an evil cult, monsters encountered in the Titan Mountains, a warlock who exploited the power of a vampire in a Titan village, and even an ancient king resurrected in the desert.

There was nothing that wasn’t exciting, so Lian and the others had to listen carefully, unable to relax even for a moment.

“That was a great story! “Are you saying you are a hero after all?”

“It’s even greater than the heroic stories I saw as a child! Leon! “If I compile this story into a book, it will sell really well, right?”

Karen interjected as if in a fit of laughter at Chloe’s words.

“I’m sorry, but that’s my right! “No one can write Leon’s heroic story in a book before me!”

“to? is it so?”

“The hero promised me directly!”

Oh, did you say that? Leon, who was tilting his head, changed his stance.

“I almost died dozens of times, so of course it has to be amazing.”

Leon grumbled for no reason, perhaps feeling burdened by the high praise from Lian, whom he had once considered an idol he could not surpass.

That was actually the case.

I can’t get used to the sight of Lian and Chloe looking at him with bright eyes. In either case, the people who admired him as ‘special’ saw Leon himself as ‘special’.

A literal great reversal.

The reason he is not vulgarly happy about this overturned structure is probably because his innate nature is good.

“…Brother Leon.”

But then Lian spoke up.

That expression was also strange.

As if he was trying to say something unpleasant, as if he didn’t have the courage to do so.

“Can you spar with me?”

I asked Leon to compete with me just once.

This time, Leon could really feel it.

Rian and the position he stands in now has been completely reversed from when he was at the Academy.

“indeed.”

Shaking off all his trivial sentiments, Leon understood why he had asked for a spar with which he could not win.

Lian’s body, seen as the ‘stigmata of the beholder’, was unstable.

But the instability was not a bad thing.

“Are you facing the Master’s Wall?”

As the mind and body unite, they are looking to reach the next level. One step was not enough so they could not cross the threshold, but they were close enough that they could jump immediately if they found the opportunity.

As someone who had taken a few steps ahead, Leon recognized it.

And answered.

“Okay, I’ll hang out with you until you’re satisfied.”

It was a refreshing answer that even Rian, who had asked to spar, was dumbfounded.
