Chapter 708: 708

The war was heading on busily .

The one who was the most sensitive about the current turn of events was the Baroque Empire which has been invaded .

“Commander, the enemy is retreating!”

“Huhuhu . Of course, they will . They would have been surprised by the sudden appearance of a large army . ”

At the report of the messenger, Count Mikhail, the commander of the Western Baroque Empire smiled .

In fact, he didn’t know that there would be such a large army .

It was because the troops deployed in the border of the Libiya Kingdom couldn’t be removed, and even if they were dispatched, the total troops wouldn’t exceed 30,000 .

But suddenly they got a magic communication from the Imperial Palace .

They were instructed to take down the enemy by cooperating with the support troops sent from the LIbiya Kingdom .

At first, they didn’t believe it .

However, the next day, 100,000 troops and 100 Gigants were approaching the border fortress .

Although most of them were looking like mercenaries, and most of them were warrior-class Gigants, yet the number seemed large enough to stop the enemy .

No, just the fact of large numbers of reinforcements appearing would make the enemies take a step back .

After welcoming the troops, Mikhail, who was the commander, decided to stop the proclaimed ‘Continental alliance’ by joining the Libiya .

“Countess Sabina, what do you think we should do?”

Mikhail asked, looking at a woman who had a sensual body tightly wrapped in the leather dress .

Sabina was the commander of the Libiya troops and was known that she was from a pirate family known in Grenada .

Her husband and father were pirates, they got arrested and hanged by the Holy Empire army who occupied Grenada while they were on the expedition to the Symphonia Kingdom .

“Huh! We need to pursue the enemy . ”

The continental alliance, which included the Holy Empire and the Symphonia Kingdom, were the main reason why she decided to join the battle .

So she applied in the mercenary recruitments, and then brought in all the pirates she knew .

It wasn’t just that, she also prepared weapons and troops separately by the money she stole during her escape from Grenada .

It wasn’t because they made up their minds to actively participate in the war, but because the weapons provided by the Libiya military were of poor quality .

The weapons were of the worst quality and the food was rotten or mixed with sand .

Because of that, Sabina decided that the Libiya Kingdom didn’t even regard them as proper humans .

Yet, she wasn’t dissatisfied .

Just being given the opportunity to repay the enemies who killed her father and husband seemed like a huge deal to her .

“The enemy is currently over here trying to see the size of our army . Each of the three 3 enemy troops needs to be destroyed before they merge into one . ”

At her answer, Count Mikhail nodded .

“Right . Before they know our situation and respond, it would be right to rush towards them and do the best damage possible . ”

Mikhail also knew about the facts of the support troops .

The fact that, when compared to scale, the quality of troops was low .

So, he thought that he had used the chance when given .

Shortly after, Count Mikhail ordered all units to pursue the retreating enemy troops .

A total of 130,000 men and 150 Gigants began to pursue the enemy troops which were retreating .

Had it been half a day like that?

They put up a camp .

“That one?”

Count Mikhail, who was looking at the enemy camp with his telescope, looked again .

It was because there was a very familiar flag between the flags of the troops .

‘Count Ferrero!’

The moment he thought of the name, a thudding sound of a Gigant came out from the enemy camp .

The Gigant which appeared to be a Hero-class Gigant, walked out to the middle of the two camps .

After a while, a familiar shout came through the Gigant .

“Count Mikhail, if you have the guts, come for a one on one with me!”

“Yah, Ferrero? You dirty traitor!”

Mikhail knew about Ferrero’s dismissal .

However, he was more excited than sympathizing with Ferrero as Mikhail always had to be in the shadows of Ferrero when it came to ability or performance .

And after learning that he was in Symphonia Kingdom, it was natural that he considered Ferrero a traitor .

“Commander, don’t let the traitor’s taunt get to you!”

Sabina held him back . She knew very clearly what Count Ferrero’s intention was .

To take time for the other allies to reach and join them for the battle .

Mikhail, nodded his head .

“Yeah, I don’t have to play around with that dirty man . However, if I leave him like that, ignorant soldiers and inexperienced knights who defend him will get their hopes up, so I need to go . ”

Although Mikhail was jealous of Count Ferrero, he wasn’t stupid enough to ignore the growth and influence Ferrero had on people .

As the Chief Commander of the Baroque Empire, many knights and army men admired Count Ferrero .

It could be seen by the riders and the knights who were in front of the camp, who were all silent and in awe of Ferrero .

Mikhail went for his own Hero class Gigant .

It wasn’t for the battle, but to respond to Ferrero’s provocation .

“Listen to me Ferrero, the dirty traitor . At one time, I saw you doing your best for His Majesty, I thought that you would be loyal to him forever . However seeing you change towards Luke de Rakan, makes me feel like sh*t . ”

“What?”

When Ferrero raised his voice, Mikhail spoke back .

“I am going to hit the throat of the traitor who abandoned my nation and my Majesty, but my sword is too high to touch the throat of a traitor . ”

“This bastard, Mikhail…!”

“Keep in mind, Ferrero . I am not avoiding confrontation because I am scared of you . I am disgusted with you, so I don’t plan on hitting you . ”

With a fishy smile, Mikhail ended his talk .

It was because looking at Ferrero’s Gigant which was trembling in anger, he could see how effective his words worked .

‘Kukkk! If you are going to hit, come on, Ferrero . The moment you rush, it will be the end . ’

Mikhail had instructed Sabina to prepare artillery before boarding his Gigant .

When Ferrero, who would be upset, ran for Mikhail, the artillery was instructed to begin the shelling .

Even if Ferrero was a sword master riding a Hero Class Gigant, if he got numerous shells directed at him, then he would die .

Of course, some young men complained that it wasn’t fair, but it didn’t make sense to have a fair confrontation against a traitor .

‘There is no honor in killing a traitor in battle . ’

When Mikhail was justifying his actions, Ferrero, who was very angry, threw out his shield and pulled out the giant sword .

“This crazy emperor’s child! I will not let you die! I will make sure to cut that tongue off your mouth and skin you alive!”

“Haha! Right, if you can get here . Who knows what will happen to you before that?”

Grrrng!

Reflecting Ferrero’s fierce feelings, the Gigant’s core engine rumbled .

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud-!

Ferrero’s Orion made a thudding sound with every step and began to rush .

Not just the Baroque riders, but even Count Mikhail, the Sword Expert could feel the energy of Ferrero shake his entire body .

‘Is it because he is irritated? But he can’t survive past the shell bombardment…’

It was when he thought .

Kwang!

All of a sudden, a huge noise came from behind .
