38 Lion Castle Fortress’ Bloody Battle! (2)

While the bloody battle was taking place in the eastern gate, Iron also fought hard and cut down the monsters. Despite all of the elites stationed in Lion Castle Fortress gathered in the northern gate, the situation still remained terrible. There were hundreds of ogres that only knight-level men could deal with. On top of that, monsters like trolls, dire wolves and orcs, monsters that were hard to deal with were also running rampant. However, none of the people present in the northern gate gave up. All of them continued to fight hard.

“Don’t give up!”

“Protect the walls!”

“Don’t let them go inside!”

The officers shouted at the soldiers and encouraged them.

They felt proud of their soldiers that still held on despite only barely coping with the waves of monsters that continued to rush to the walls. However if things continued on like this, they would definitely not be able to hold out any longer. They were sure that it was only a matter of time before they let them through the gates.

They looked at the monster sorcerers and lords that were watching the monsters attack the walls from a distance. If they couldn’t deal with them, then they would have no hope in this battle.

Fweeet!

The knights scattered all over the area gathered towards Iron once they heard his whistle.

This was the unique whistle of the Lion Family calling out to the knights of the Lion Castle Fortress. All of the knights of the Lion Castle Fortress would gather around the person who called once they heard this sound.

The knights cut down the monsters in their path as they moved and gathered around Iron. This group also included the direct descendants and the Silver Lions’ deputy commander Silverstein.

“If we continue at this rate, we would have no solution.”

Iron spoke bluntly once they had gathered.

“What do you want to do?”

“I think we need to take a gamble.”

Iron looked at the lords not too far away as he answered Silverstein’s question.

They were the main culprits for the monsters’ strengthening and there would be no hope in sight for them in this war unless they eliminated them.

“You need to go over there. The lords… I will break through the monsters so you can stab them.”

Everyone tilted their heads at Iron’s words.

“The last card that they are not aware of. I think it’s time for me to bring it up.”

“What card are you talking about?”

Iron raised his divine power a bit when Silverstein asked him.

Silverstein, who realized what he was talking about, nodded his head in understanding. He had heard about Iron’s divine beasts before and had only realized that they haven’t come out yet in this battle.

“You’ll have to be prepared for death.”

“I have already prepared myself for that before this war even began.”

The knights also nodded firmly when Silverstein looked at them.

“I’m going to include the direct descendants. Will that be alright?”

“The Lions are not afraid of death.”

Kaiden growled at Iron as he answered. The twins also nodded their heads as they increased their momentums. Rather than being scared, the direct descendants were looking excited. It seemed like they liked this new operation where they would be able to jump around and play freely.

“Sounds fun. A battlefield where you could die…”

Saeriden seemed to be extremely excited for the battle, which could cause their death for real, that was just right around the corner.

Iron sighed quietly. It seemed like he was so tired of this psychopath’s expressions.

“I’ll trust the Lion Knights.”

“Yes. Please trust us.”

All of the knights answered Iron with their heads bowed down.

Iron nodded lightly before pointing his finger at the lords.

“Make a path for the knights!”

The officers, who were engaged in a fierce battle, shouted and gave their own orders once they heard Iron.

“Focus your fire on the center!”

“Make a path for the knights!”

The soldiers pointed their guns in one area at the order and began to create a path for the knights. The battle in the northern gate turned fiercer as the officers took the knights’ vacated positions.

Hundreds of knights of the Lion Castle Fortress all gathered in front of the northern gate, they lined up side by side and gathered under the command of Silverstein. Silverstein, the deputy commander of the Silver Lions and a knight at the 6th Stage, took the lead with the intention of breaking through the monsters all at once to go where the monster lords were.

Iron looked at them before giving his orders.

“Open the gates!”

Creaaaaaak!

As soon as Iron gave his orders, the tightly shut northern gate began to open little by little.

Seeing the tightly closed gates open, the orc units tried to squeeze in the gaps. However, Silverstein killed them with a light swing of his sword while the knights moved and followed him as they boosted their mana.

Slash! Slash!

The orcs’ heads fell one by one as the knights began to come out of the gate. However, despite the ease at how they handled these monsters, they would still get exhausted and eventually fall if the endless rush of the monster corps were not stopped.

Then, Iron quietly spoke as he stared at them from above the ramparts.

“Guys, I know that it’s a bit hard but you’ll need to come out for a bit.”

Light bursted out as his friends appeared in the skies. It was as if they wanted to answer Iron’s request with actions instead of words. Unfortunately, Thunderbird would not be able to come out since it exerted too much force during the war in the east, but Phoenix, Two Moons and Baepsae all came out one after the other with their divine power spreading all over the place.

Of course, they did not appear gigantic like they did in the East. After all, it would consume a lot of divine power and Iron still hasn’t reached the level where they could come out like that without any help yet. But with the increase in Iron’s divine power, he was still able to summon Phoenix and Two Moons at a size that was half of their size back in the East.

―Ppiiiii!

―Hooot!

The two divine beasts let out their powers and paved the way for the knights.

Two Moons let out beams of light from its huge eyes. Even if the monsters were strengthened and buffed up, they still disappeared without a trace as soon as the light passed by them. While Phoenix cried out and let out a burst of flames that burned down everything in its path, successfully creating a path for the knights.

The monsters tried to rush forward to deal with the knights but only a few could pass through Phoenix’s flames. And those who came through could be easily dealt with by the knights. The morale of the knights increased thanks to the two divine beasts’ overwhelming strength and performance.

However, Iron’s divine beast was not only Two Moons and Phoenix.

―Tweet, tweet, tweet! Tweet! Tweet!

Baepsae’s song rang loudly in the ears of the soldiers who were having a hard time filling in the spots that the knights had vacated.

The situation began to reverse once the power of healing and vitality spread and seeped through the soldiers and officers’ bodies. Their injuries and exhaustion began to recover as the green light covered their bodies and the power of healing and vitality began to overflow from their bodies. They even felt like they could kill the monsters all by themselves right now. In fact, the soldiers who had awakened their mana were even showing greater power than usual thanks to their small amount of mana being amplified. After all, Baepsae’s vitality was not just limited to the body, it could also affect the mana.

“This…”

“The Hero’s divine beasts that were seen in the East?”

The officers looked at the scene in shock after they experienced this sudden change in the atmosphere of the battle. They couldn’t help but space out after seeing the battle where they could be pushed back at any moment had turned around with just the appearance of the divine beasts.

However, they did not space out for too long. Since the monsters had fallen into sudden confusion at the appearance of the divine beasts, they took this opportunity to attack once again.

“Uwoooo!”

With the cry of an orc lord as the catalyst, the orc troops roared in unison. The roar effectively boosted the monsters’ subsiding morale. Meanwhile, the dire wolves began to move as they carried the orcs and avoided the knights to dash forward the walls.

“Close the gates!”

One of the officers guarding the gates hurriedly ordered the closing of the gates but all of them were clear that the monsters would reach them before the gates were completely closed. And just as the officer feared, one of the dire wolves jumped a long distance and slid inside before the gates could shut.

Thud!

―Grrrrrrr…

The dire wolf used its body to stop the gates from completely closing which enabled the other orcs and dire wolves to enter through the gaps.

“Th… This!”

The officer hurriedly tried to gather the soldiers and took position despite chaos falling upon them. However, they did not know if they could stop these monsters at all.

At that moment, the leading orc’s head suddenly fell off as Iron jumped down from the ramparts and stood in front of the narrow gap between the gates. There, he stood firmly as he spoke loudly.

“I’ll protect this place so block the walls with all you’ve got.”

The officer in charge of protecting the gates nodded his head and took the soldiers up the wall after hearing Iron’s words. All of the soldiers, except the ones pulling the gates close, climbed up to help the troops on top of the walls. There were some who left and hid by the walls just in case something happened..

―Grrrrrrr…

The dire wolves felt that Iron was a bit unusual so they hovered just right outside the gate and looked at him warily. However, the orcs continued to rush forward as they roared madly. Characteristic to a race crazy about battles, the orcs madly rushed forward and squeezed through the gates even after knowing that Iron was far stronger than them.

“One down.”

―Krrrrrrk…

Iron stabbed the neck of an orc before slicing upwards and cutting its head off. The orc that had its head cut off fell down on the floor with a thud. Then, another one roared and rushed at Iron.

“Two down!”

He shouted on purpose and deliberately counted every time he killed one of them. The monsters flinched at his momentum but it was only for a short moment. One of the ogres rushed forward and forcibly dragged the gates to open wider. Because of that, more monsters were able to flock towards Iron.

“Thirty three! Thirty four!”

Iron cut down more than thirty monsters in an instant.

His body was covered in their green blood as his eyes emitted a sharp glare filled with killing intent. He was only using the most basic of moves but he was able to cut down his opponents at a faster and more stable pace than anyone. With the unbreakable iron will contained in his mana, he endured the ogre’s indiscriminate punches, he killed the battle crazy orcs, and cut down the dire wolves that aimed at the gap between the gates.

“As long as I stand here you will never go beyond me! You will never take a step away from this place!”

The monsters began to falter at Iron’s roar.

He stood firmly in front of the gap between the gates, never letting a single one in. There was obviously only one human standing there. But the appearance of this single person in front of this gate made even the battle crazy orcs stop and hesitate for a while.

Just when the monsters were faltering at Iron’s wall-like momentum, a monster appeared with a momentum that could rival Iron’s own.

―Krrk! I didn’t know that there’s someone outstanding still left here. Chwik!

An orc wearing solid armor stood in front of Iron emitting a strong battle qi.

“Orc champion…”

The orc’s battle qi was so enormous that it even emitted a red light around its body.

An orc could only reach the orc warrior level once they have reached the 4th Stage or higher. And the one who leads these orc warriors, the strongest being among them was given the title of orc champion.

The orc champion personally appeared to kill Iron, who undermined the morale of the monster corps with his overwhelming momentum.

“Hoo…”

Iron let out a long breath at the strong momentum that the orc champion was showing.

If it was him in his previous life, then he would retreat without any hesitation. But that wasn’t the case right now.

‘I can do it.’

The bastard that Silver Lions’ Silverstein had to deal with suddenly appeared in front of him. But he firmly believed that he could kill it right now.

“Bring it on.”

―Chwik! Good.

He did not know if the orc champion liked his spirit or it was just showing off with its nose high up in the air but the orc champion swung its huge axe and rushed straight towards Iron fiercely.
