Book 2-4.4 Yulian Steps In (I)
“Please put it on now. And then
move around all you want. Honestly speaking, even without fighting, Glow
has already participated in the battle.”
“By that you mean?”
“I
just thought about it now as well. But it is enough if you consider the
Glow and your subordinate warriors’ strengths. You will be able to see a
battle firsthand, and that alone will be enough to get you involved in
the battle. Isn’t that what we would call catching monsters and earning
money?”
Although Yulian was laughing on the inside, he still maintained a calm expression as he answered.
“Even so, I can’t believe you would try to use me as bait.”
Egane responded without the slightest of change in his expression.
“If you don’t like it, then please stay beside me and watch how the formations change. That is not bad either.”
“Haha! I was just joking. So all I have to do is move around like that?”
Yulian quickly took the clothes out of his bag and asked while putting it over himself.
“Yes.
That is all you have to do. However, please make sure that you are not
surrounded by the enemy. I’m sure you’ll realize it after experiencing a
few times, but war is the one place you can never let your guard down.
Although they may be lacking in strength and abilities compared to you,
they have hundreds, no thousands of shamshirs. It will not take long to
surround you and capture you, or kill you. You need to remember what the
result will be if the Glow is captured. You must definitely remember
the consequence of such a thing happening.”
“Of course. No matter
what my strength may be, I know that I am no different than a young
warrior on the battlefield. I will not move carelessly.”
Egane decided that they should now start moving and nodded his head as he responded.
“I
am relieved to hear you say that. It looks like the formation is almost
ready. Please start moving ten minutes after the first clash. From here
no, I cannot take care of the Glow.”
“You must focus on the battle. I’m sure this probably sounds really weird, but I will make sure to learn well.”
Egane slightly smiled at Yulian’s response and moved his pirma forward to command the troops.
Warriors
carrying Pareia’s red flag stepped in front of the troops, and warriors
carrying Shuarei’s yellow flag moved forward not too long after. They
were the flag warriors signaling the beginning of the battle.
“You
Shuarei who do not know the definition of honor. Even this time, you
show your dirty personalities. But our Pareia’s Glow, the Desert
Conqueror, Yulian Provoke-nim is someone who has the magnanimity to
embrace your wrongdoings. It is not too late to do the right thing and
give up. If you do, we will help make those honorless blades shine with
honor.”
As one of Pareia’s flag warriors shouted, one of the Shuarei’s flag warriors responded back.
“Listen
carefully you weaklings of Pareia. By the order of the Shuarei’s Great
Glow, the Desert Mole Hangry Elbotta, the Piercing Bow Recharei
Breeze-nim and 20,000 warriors are here to protect all of you. Instead
of shedding unnecessary blood, isn’t it better to give up and partake in
our Shuarei’s glory?”
“Is there any animal as sly and greedy as
the desert mole? The Shuarei think a mole is great? WIth such an
honorless name, it is preposterous to call it glorious. The Piercing Bow
has already been defeated by our Greatest Warrior, the Large Spear, a
long time ago. Do not proceed with a battle you are destined to lose and
give up now.”
It was like Pareia’s flag warriors had anticipated
what the enemy would say and easily twisted their words. The one to be
provoked by their words was Shuarei’s Greatest Warrior, Recharei.
Recharei
urged his pirma forward and lifted up a bow the size of his body and
started to shoot his arrows. His arrows surprisingly started to hit
Pareia’s flags one by one.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
“Waaaaaaaaaaah~!”
As
he pierced the flags one by one, the red flags started to fall to the
sand before the flag warriors could do anything. As the flags hit the
sand, the Shuarei camp let out a loud cheer.
Seeing that happen, Egane twisted the spear in his hand as he pressed forward.
Recharei lifted his bow back up and fired an arrow toward Egane, but Egane used his large spear to block the arrow.
Jii~iiiiiing~
It
shook the spear so much that it was difficult to believe that it did
not pierce through, and Egane felt pain in his wrist. It was definitely
bow skills fitting the Shuarei’s Greatest Warrior. However, he had
already experienced Recharei’s skills during the last war.
Back
then, Recharei’s arrow almost blew away Egane’s arm. In the end, he was
able to approach Recharei and make him retreat within ten attacks, but
he was not an enemy you could peacefully approach.
That was why he recalled the past events and prepared his defense as he quickly pushed forward to Recharei.
As
Egane approached him, Recharei let out his last arrow and turned the
pirma around. Recharei recalled the past events as well. He knew he was
no match for Egane in close combat.
“OOwaaaa~aaaaa~!”
This
time, it was Pareia’s camp that cheered on as a different Greatest
Warrior, the Scorpion Tail Mabis, recognized his peer’s weakness and
headed out to meet him.
The moment Egane’s large spear aimed for Recharei’s back, Mabis’s spear was stabbing toward Egane’s heart.
As
his name indicated, Mabis’s shamshir quickly and powerfully moved in a
straight line, forcing Egane to retrieve the spear trying to pierce
through Recharei’s back and parry Mabis’s shamshir.
Claaaaaaaang~!
First
the sound of the weapons slashing through the air, the the sharp noise
of the spear and shamshir quickly clashing twice soon followed. Egane
and Mabis both had fire in their eyes as they put in all of their effort
to defeat their opponent.
Following that, Recharei, who had
turned his pirma back around, worked together with Mabis to pressure
Egane, forcing Egane’s spear to shake violently.
Greatest Warriors
usually command between 5,000 to 10,000 warriors, and the Shuarei sent
three Greatest Warriors to war with them, but Pareia only had Egane and
Trebol, two Greatest warriors with them this time.
No matter how
quickly they managed to squash the rebellion, Pareia’s internal affairs
were still slightly chaotic compared to before, with the Greatest
Warriors of each oasis tied down at their individual oasis. Since they
assumed that Venersis would be the commanding officer for this war, the
Angry Brandistock was defending the Deep Deep Oasis.
Each tribe’s
Greatest Warrior, as the name indicates, means they are the best amongst
the warriors. The only warriors who can take on the Greatest Warriors
are warriors of the same rank, meaning only the Greatest Warriors of the
other tribes. But with Trebol leading 5,000 warriors to the back for
the pincer attack, he could not come to save Egane.
Parei’s
valiant lead warriors were about to lead their pirmas to support Egane,
when, before they could make a move, there was a single pirma that shot
forward like an arrow.
“Glow!”
The lead warriors realized the owner of the pirma as they shouted.
With a greatsword in each hand, Yulian rushing forward with his legs fixed on the side of the pirma looked like a piece of art.
At Yulian rushing forward, the shouts of Pareia’s warriors really reached the zenith.
None
of them even considered that Yulian could lose. Their Glow was a man,
no a warrior, who could even catch a Sand Dragon on his own. He was the
Desert Conqueror.
With the shouts of Pareia’s warriors behind him, Yulian quickly interjected in the battle where Egane was struggling.
Booooooooooong~!
Yulian’s large greatsword made a loud noise as it cut through the air.
Tang!
Yulian
managed to fling Recharei’s shamshir into the air with a single swing.
Seeing Yulian’s overwhelming strength, the Pareia warriors cheered
loudly once more, while the Shuarei warriors’ jaws just dropped.
Although
Chun Myung Hoon had taught him how to use two greatswords to fight
against multiple opponents at once, that overwhelming strength was
amazing against a single opponent as well.
Booooooooong~!
Yulian’s
greatsword attacked Recharei one more time, and Recharei became frantic
as he used his iron bow to parry Yulian’s greatsword.
As the
situation completely turned in an instant with Recharei and Mabis’s
lives in danger, the remaining Greatest Warrior rushed out from the
Shuarei camp.
This Greatest Warrior of Shuarei called the Splendid
Light Porangso swung a shamshir as bright as his name, and barely
managed to rescue Recharei.
But that’s all he managed to do. As
Yulian leisurely handled Recharei with his left hand and Porangso with
his right, the two men were full of disbelief.
Even if people say
that Recharei is weak in close combat, that was only in comparison to
the other Greatest Warriors. So this was Recharei, who had at least the
same level of close combat skills as a veteran warrior, and one other
Greatest Warrior being dominated by one warrior.
The story about
how Venersis effortlessly fought against Pareia’s three Greatest
Warriors was known throughout the desert, but Venersis was known as the
undisputed Greatest Warrior of the desert.
But wasn’t this a baby warrior who was barely twenty years old?
It wasn’t like they were looking down on him because he was a young warrior, but this was just too much.
All
they could do was put all of their efforts in defending against
Yulian’s sword and finding a way to escape from this clash. With this
fact that they could not do anything else filling their minds, the two
Greatest Warriors could not help but lose their fighting spirits.
