"Their bones are broken, can't they feel the pain?!"
Despite their considerable injuries, the orc warriors continued to pursue, slashing down the focused Federation soldiers from behind to prevent them from hindering Balf and the others. However, during this time, Federation soldiers continued to emerge from all directions, attacking the orc warriors like ants scrambling for sugar.
Of course, the orc warriors who caught up could not avoid getting entangled with those federal soldiers, while the federal soldiers who broke through finally broke into the battle between Balf and others.
"Attack the Knight Hunter!"
"! You bastard!"
Lilith shouted loudly, sending countless serpent-like lightning bolts towards Balf. As Balf was forced to retreat, all the soldiers in the league attacked Bart.
Bart didn't stop spinning the Aegis, but he twisted the handle in his hand, turning the back of the scythe in the direction of the rotation. The Federal soldier was struck hard, sent flying, and then struck by the magical blade of harvest, causing him to fall. Lilith grabbed the Federal soldier, using him as a human shield, and attacked.
"You can't kill the Confederates, you coward!"
"Stop talking nonsense! You're a complete scum!"
Apparently, this was the reason they didn't allow their knights in and only let the federal soldiers through.
Bart chose to dodge, but Lilith had of course already guessed it. She pushed aside the federal soldiers, used her ability of almost instant teleportation to get to the front, and swung a lightning-charged slash.
(Oops!)
He could block it and it wouldn't be a fatal injury, but the lightning-carrying slash had too wide an attack range to be completely avoided. He would inevitably be stunned for a moment, and then Bart would not be able to dodge the second blow that came at lightning speed - at that very moment.
"drink!!"
Balfe completely dodged the swarm of Thunder Snakes and slid over. Using his sliding technique, he managed to slash Lilith's foot slightly, slightly deflecting the strike, but that was enough for Bart.
Bart twisted his body forcefully and struck the ground with Eggjesus, using the reaction force to escape from Lilith's attack range, and shot the dug-up sand from the ground at Lilith in return.
Lilith paused momentarily as sand seemed to accidentally enter her eyes. Bart used this moment to swing his consciousness-harvesting magic blade, paralyzing all the surrounding federal soldiers at once.
While Lilith paused to catch her breath, Bart exhaled as well. Balf now stood beside him, while Thuy disappeared, perhaps searching for an opportunity.
Bart did not relax at all, staring at Lilith and Zeba with an apologetic expression.
"...I'm sorry for hindering you because of my personal affairs."
Even though it's war, killing people while still being selective about their targets, even if you don't force others to accept such a concept, you will generally be met with contempt or disdain.
However, Balfe, who was also trying to adjust his breathing, sneered when he heard Bart's apology.
"This isn't a 'personal matter', but a 'belief' that you absolutely cannot compromise, right? Then you should persevere to the end. I won't trust my life to someone who easily changes his beliefs."
"……Yeah?"
A cocky smile played on Bart's lips, and an identical smile played on Balfe's lips.
Although humans and orcs espouse completely different ideologies and creeds, they still identify with each other, entrust their lives to each other, and stand shoulder to shoulder as comrades. This is the future that the liberators want to create.
"That's blasphemy."
"Existence itself is a sin."
Lilith and Zeba looked like they were about to throw up when they saw this.
Bart and Balfe laughed at their insults.
"Well, Bart, you've been dealing with these guys so much lately. You've rarely seen a knight lose their head, right? Is the name Knight Hunter crying out for help?"
"Yeah, that's right. I'm so ashamed of myself for thinking I was helping the fight against the Church."
The two of them were deliberately chatting and laughing, or perhaps it was a veiled attack. As expected, their nonchalant attitude made Lilith and the others' foreheads bulge with anger, and they wanted to beat them until they knelt and begged for mercy.
However, the hateful thing is that the heretics before them are too strong and they cannot defeat them.
Lilith and Zeba were helpless in the face of the unforgivable heretics, and they both felt sick and wanted to vomit.
But that too shall pass.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Bart was the first to notice. The top of the dome of white fog seemed to brighten slightly, as if something emitting a strong light was passing overhead.
Then, a violent explosion sounded, the earth began to shake, and the atmosphere also felt the shock wave.
These all came from the East.
“What! This guy is…!”
“Hey, is that true!?”
Bart and Balf, as well as the orc warriors who were there to block the federal soldiers, were all stunned with surprise.
Lilith smiled and said:
"Alright, in the name of God, let's get started on getting rid of you."
The arrow of brutality, which had previously been held back due to concerns about the unknown location of the "Son of God", was finally released.
On the other hand, on a battlefield a little further away, the main force of the Republic Warriors, led by Captain Shim, was engaged in a fierce battle with the main force of the Federation Army, led by Chief Detelf.
On this side, shouts and screams were heard non-stop. The federal army launched a desperate special attack like a flood. Faced with the fierce attack of the suicide soldiers, the orc warriors tried their best to stop them.
On the battlefield, shouts echoed, seemingly trying to blow away the noisy atmosphere.
“Drink aaaaaaaaaa!”
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
On one side was Simm, on the other Detelf.
Both men were nearly three meters tall, their bodies covered in armored muscles. Their head-on clash was as powerful as a battle between two monsters.
Detelf's weapon is an oversized greatsword that is almost as long as his own height, and its level is far beyond what a human can wield.
Relying on his own muscles and body-strengthening magic, he swung the greatsword, stirring up a storm with every blow. Therefore, whenever it clashed with Shim's battle axe, there was a deafening roar and a shockwave similar to a bombing.
"drink!!"
Detlff swung his sword diagonally, but Shim blocked it with his battle axe. Despite the destructive force of the sublimation magic, Shim still felt the muscles in his arm snap. He activated his inherent magic, "Transmission," and directed the impact almost directly into the ground.
“Drink!!”
Shim stomped his foot onto the cracked ground, unleashing a sweeping blow. Even if blocked, he could still interfere with the impact, delivering a fatal blow that penetrated the opponent's weapon and caused internal damage.
However, Detelf was not the leader of the military state for nothing, as he proved by showing his superhuman skills in an instant.
His massive body rolled sideways, and in an upside-down vision, he watched the battle axe pass overhead. Furthermore, he launched a counterattack with a smooth, flowing blow.
Shim met the blow with the hilt of his battle-axe, but Detlef slid the blade of his greatsword along the hilt, attempting to sever Shim's fingers.
“Pfft!”
Shim clucked his tongue and released his axe. Unarmed, he couldn't withstand Detloff's next strike, so he stepped forward. The impact of his massive body and the force of his footsteps was immense, but Shim controlled that force, concentrating it and transmitting it to his arms.
“Hmm!”
Detelf was struck in the chest, but he didn't react in a way that suited his size. He followed the force of the punch and leaped backward, flipping in mid-air before landing lightly.
"...It's truly astonishing. Your martial arts skills are truly extraordinary, human."
Shim picked up his battle axe and spoke in a calm tone, in contrast to the fierce battle.
This wasn't sarcasm; Shim was genuinely amazed. On this unusual battlefield, where all the troops were clashing, the white mist had reached its peak density. Even in close combat, the mere intervention of a clear will disrupted cognition. Yet, Detelf was still able to execute those delicate yet bold responses...
In other words, the man before him was fighting almost unconsciously. Extensive combat experience and training had given him a perfect reflexive defense, allowing him to instantly formulate the optimal response to an attack.
That can be said to be a martial art without thoughts or ideas.
Although it was limited to close combat, it was truly astonishing that Detelf was able to disable the absolute barrier with pure martial arts.
"You have such superb martial arts skills, why haven't you been on the front lines before?"
"Hmph, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, someone who fights on the front lines is special, right?"
Detelf answered with a wry smile, his tone very calm, in contrast to his subordinates - the federal soldiers who were attacking frantically.
“…You seem so lucid. I never expected you to order your men on a frantic charge while in a state of sanity…”
It was unbelievable, what did they think of their compatriots? Shim wasn't worried about the enemy, but as a warrior, he was truly outraged by such inhumane behavior.
Detelf replied to Shim:
"It's a done deal. This is what God wants."
His expression was that of a tired old man.
Shim narrowed his eyes. The man before him was a true warrior, just like him. And he and Bart were the same kind of people. Even without talent, they still gained strength through hard training.
But such a man has already lost all hope.
“How pitiful…”
"Don't say that. I feel much more relaxed now."
He thought of the beautiful witch, whose appearance and words easily changed the allied soldiers' allegiance.
Detelf no longer had any command authority; he was now nothing more than a soldier. As a soldier and a warrior, Detelf intended this place to be his final resting place.
"Well, prepare yourself, Orc General. I will defeat you and clear the way for my compatriots."
"Alright, but before that—strong one, please tell me your name."
Detlef's expression relaxed slightly. He had never expected that the orcs, their greatest enemy, who hated and despised humans, would actually ask his name.
At the same time, for some reason, he felt incredibly ridiculous.
Detelf recalled the priests at the military meeting, their faces twisted as they cursed beasts and heretics. He had no intention of disobeying them, and he, too, despised those beasts...
But what happened now? The so-called beasts actually understood his feelings, recognized him as a warrior, and fought him with dignity. If this wasn't ridiculous, what was? If his existence wasn't ridiculous, then what was?
How meaningless the distinctions between races were. As a warrior, proving who was stronger and who was weaker was the most important creed. A surge of excitement I hadn't felt in years welled up within me.
Maybe I sensed his mood.
"Detlef, my name is Detlef Ernst—I'm just a warrior."
"Shim Gardot, Chapter Master of the Republic Warriors."
Both Detelf and Shim had arrogant smiles on their faces.
There is no longer any racial distinction in the minds of the two.
Knock down the opponent.
Although their reasons were different, they only had this one thought in their minds. Gripping the handles of their favorite weapons tightly, both of them erupted with domineering aura.
However, just as the two were about to clash—
"Purify it—the Holy Flame."
"Bite it, Bendis!"
"Repent! Arrow of Atonement!"
The white flames spread out in a cylindrical shape, though only ten meters in diameter, dispersing the densest fog. And just as Shim realized something was amiss, a giant wolf gleaming with pure white light attacked from behind, and steel arrows were fired from the side.
Turning back, Shim saw only the white wolf's bloody maw. He immediately used his battle axe as a shield, but the wolf's massive teeth bit into Shim's shoulder and flank. Meanwhile, a steel arrow pierced Shim's left thigh from the side, then pierced his right thigh from the inside out, leaving a bloody tail.
“Gu! Uuuuuu!”
Although the hard battle axe prevented the white wolf's teeth from biting completely, it was undeniable that Shim's feet lost strength, and Shim, who was unable to stand firmly, was easily thrown into the air.
Shim was in the air, and in his upside-down vision, he saw the enemy.
A female knight wielding a magnificent bow—Leleye Agathon, Captain of the White Light Knights, and Airem Ockerman, also the Vice-Captain, who was panting as if having exhausted all his strength.
There was also a man riding a white wolf. He was distinguished by short dark blue hair, a scar on his cheek, and a droopy eye. He was about thirty years old. He was a knight of the Beast Light Knights, his oversized steel spear at the ready.
"Repent—Light Gun!"
The sharp spear, as if throwing the wind behind, stabbed diagonally upward, and at the same time, a very thick light extended from the tip of the spear.
He is Godel Goth, the Vice-Captain of the Beast Light Knights, who possesses a strong light attribute and is very talented in spearmanship. His strike can pierce any opponent.
As time slowly flowed, Shim also felt a sense of danger and trembled. He knew that the blow was too sharp, enough to kill him, so he was already prepared for death.
"Chamber Master!"
At that moment, an arrow flew in, its speed comparable to Lelaye's inherent magic, the "Atonement Arrow," and struck Shim directly in the shoulder. The arrow pierced through flesh and bone, inflicting a severe wound, but it was a brilliant strike that forced Shim to dodge the lance's beam.
"Narcisse, well done! You saved my life!"
Despite falling flat on his back, Shim managed to absorb the impact, kneeling on the ground and offering praise and thanks. He was addressing a young Sylvan man, Narcisse Falk, a thousand-man captain of the Infantry Warrior Regiment's Archer Corps, who, despite being covered in sweat, held a majestic bow in hand.
"Cover the captain! First to third squads! Shoot at those using white flames, bows, and white wolves!"
