Emperor of Steel

Chapter 708 - Battle Between Father and Daughter 3



Chapter 708: Battle Between Father and Daughter 3

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.
