Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Boom! The first sound I heard when I passed through the portal was some kind of explosion.

"Cavalry! All infantry units, prepare to go into battle! We cannot let the enemy get close to the city walls!"

"Magicians need to intercept the incoming magic!"

"Repair the city walls! If the defense line collapses, we will all die!" Then, the urgent voices of the commanders came.

Look up at the sky, a huge rock or something magical is flying towards you.

Boom! The magicians on the city wall are working hard to use magic to protect the city wall.

Amid the busy atmosphere of preparation for war, Cardin slowly looked around.

"Over there?" Cardin spotted the area where the large tents were gathered, and said to Luna next to him.

"Luna. Can we fly over the city wall and check on the demons?"

"Confirm how many powerful guys there are and come back?"

"Please. If you need to fight, cancel the summons immediately."

"I understand. Don't worry." Luna nodded, then stomped hard on the ground and flew into the sky.

Soon, Luna disappeared over the city wall, and Cardan walked toward where the tents were gathered. Soon, his steps stopped in front of the largest tent.

"We have already sent out a task force to destroy the siege weapons."

"The number of demons is quite large. Whether we can stop them with the current forces is a question."

"It's the demons! We can't stop them with military force alone! We must request support as soon as possible!" An emergency report came from the tent. Cardan took a deep breath, then pushed open the tent door made of canopy and walked in.

"Who, who's there!" Was it because of the stranger's appearance? Or because of the silent entry?

Swish! The people in the tent drew their weapons and looked at Cardin with vigilant eyes. Cardin, who was standing in front of the door, bowed respectfully and greeted him.

"I'm here to convey the message from the revolutionary group Belid. My name is Cardin..."

"Ka, Cardin?" At this time, someone interrupted Cardin. Hearing the familiar voice, Cardin slowly raised his head.

"Instructor Chris?" The owner of the voice was none other than Instructor Chris, the head of the first grade at the Hero Academy.

"Instructor, why are you here?"

"Cardan, why are you here?" They both looked at each other with confused expressions, and then Chris walked towards Cardin with a smile.

Wow! Reunion after three years. Chris was so happy that he immediately hugged Cardin, and Cardin smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Long time no see! How are you doing? I see other kids sometimes, but no one knows where you are! I was really worried that you might be dead, you bastard!"

"I didn't know you were here."

"Where are you and what are you doing? Your body...is getting better! You haven't been lazy in training!" Instructor Chris even raised his voice to express his happiness.

"Cough cough." Then someone coughed in the tent, and Chris straightened his posture and suppressed his excitement.

"Yeah, sorry! This guy is a student at Hero Academy!"

"One of the last students?"

"Yes! And he is a necromancer. You know that, Captain. He is the only heir of Charlotte Ingmar." After Chris introduced Cardin, the man called Captain looked at Cardin with surprise.

"This child is Mr. Charlotte's son..." When the leader was surprised, Chris looked at Cardin with a smile.

"Cardan, say hello. That's the leader of the Knights of Colinforth. Mr. Chick Grimwald." As soon as Chris finished speaking, Cardin held his breath and looked at Chick Grimwald.

One of the five great knight orders in the kingdom. After the Guardians, they are considered to be one of the strongest. I didn't expect to meet the leader of the famous Colin Firth Knights like this.

"Great Sword of the Kingdom. Captain of the Knights of Colinforth, it is an honor to meet you." Cardin greeted respectfully again.

"Nice to meet you. The last heir of the Ingmar family. No need to be polite." Hearing Chick's words, Cardin immediately raised his head and looked at him.

"Although I'm glad to see you, now doesn't seem like a good time to chat. Were you sent by Belid?"

"Yes. We rescued the survivors from Radames City and took them to Douglas." Hearing Cardan's words, everyone in the tent breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that everyone is worried about the news that Radames City has been captured.

"Next, Douglas will send reinforcements. Please stop the demons then." After Cardin lowered his head and answered, Chick smiled bitterly.

"If I were to worry about this line of defense being breached...it seems that the guys gathered outside the city wall are quite powerful." The strong man known as the guardian, he leads the Knights of Colinfers.

The Western Front guarded by the Kingdom's five great knight orders is under threat of being breached by an enemy, right? Chick smacked his lips, sighed, and looked at Cardin.

"You said you were here to protect this place?" Cardin straightened up and answered in a soft but heavy voice.

"Yes, that's right."

"I have never commanded a necromancer." Chick continued with a serious smile on his face.

"So you are free to move around and do what you can."

What can a Necromancer do on the battlefield?

"Mr. Necromancer! The wall here has collapsed too!"

"Mr. Necromancer, the wall over there also needs to be repaired! Please!"

"Mr. Necromancer!" Voices calling for Cardan's help came from all over the city wall. Cardan quickly ran around the city wall, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the wall that needed repair.

Crack! He used the bones to build another wall in front of the broken wall.

“It’s just a stopgap measure, but it’s better than nothing.”

Crackle! Demon magic and boulders flew in from everywhere. The magicians who protected the city walls alone could not withstand all the attacks.

Although some people who could manipulate magic also stepped forward to block the flying magic and stones, it seemed that they were unable to withstand all the attacks.

Rumble!

"Damn it! The city wall over there has collapsed too! Take the wounded away and start repair work immediately!" A stone that could not be intercepted crashed into the city wall again, and the soldiers had to get busy.

"This will never end." Despite efforts to repair and intercept attacks, if this continues, humans will be exhausted first.

"What the hell is the action team doing? At least destroy the catapult! Kill the monsters that throw rocks!"

"You idiot! Look over there! Aren't the demons ready to make a move? Can the commandos easily destroy the catapults?" Of course, humans were not the only ones to be beaten.

They used catapults to throw stones from behind the city walls to fight back, and also organized a special forces team to attack the rear of the demons.

"The demons won't come close easily. Do you want to slowly wear us down from a distance?" While helping with the repair work, Cardan looked at the demon army on the other side of the city wall.

Although they have human appearance, the dark red aura emanating from them is creepy.

"It's even better. This way we can buy time for reinforcements to arrive." The demons will not advance easily, which is a positive situation for the rebels waiting for reinforcements.

"Then, what is that!"

At this time, someone pointed to the sky and shouted.

"Is it the demon clan?"

"What? A little devil?"

"Oh, what should we do? Shoot it down?" He pointed at Luna, her hair fluttering like orange flames, flying in the air.

"Wait. It's one of ours." Cardin quickly stopped the archer with the bow and the magician who activated his magic power, and shouted loudly.

Luna couldn't be hurt by magic or arrows, but he didn't want her to see that.

"Cardan! I'm back!"

Boom. Luna landed on the city wall easily, smiling happily.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is it? What's the situation over there?" Cardin gently stroked Luna's head and asked carefully.

"Not very good. Most of them are high-level demons. Even though it was only for a moment, it felt like a trip to the demon world."

"Most of these guys are high-level demons?" It's really surprising. What happened in these three years that the number of high-level demons has increased so much?

"Most of them are humans who have turned into demons, and there are also some guys who look unstable. They should not be underestimated. And the guy who looks like the leader seems to be the highest level demon." After hearing what Luna said, Cardan smiled bitterly and looked at the city wall.

"The situation is not good?" Can they hold out until the reinforcements arrive in Douglas?

"Are the highest level demons also humans who have become demons?"

"Hmm. Looks very powerful. Apparently, he was also quite powerful when he was human." A legion of high-level demons led by the highest-level demons.

Even if the Western Front was held, the losses on the rebel side would be considerable.

This is only possible if the loop route can be operated, but the current situation is not optimistic for the rebels.

"Are those guys as strong as the demons wearing fox masks?"

"Fortunately it seems not, but it cannot be ignored. You now..." Luna conveyed the message, temporarily interrupted her words, and looked deeply into Cardin's pupils.

"Can't win." An opponent that Cardin can't win.

"If it's a guy wearing a spider mask, we must give it a try anyway." There are also different levels among the highest-level demons.

The demons wearing spider masks are considered the weaker party to Cardin.

Luna said that they couldn't win, not because she was worried about Cardan. This was a conclusion she reached after a calm judgment. Cardan couldn't win against the highest level demon who led the high-level demons to fight a war.

"Thank you, Luna. Anyway, I'm not the only one here." It seems that Cardin's role in this war is just support? It doesn't matter to him.

To win the war, he needs to hold the city walls until reinforcements arrive.

"We have teleportation magic, so it won't take too long." Cardin moved quickly, thinking that he had to report this fact first.

"Huh? That, that! Someone is coming out of the demon camp?" At this time, a soldier pointed at the city wall and shouted, and people looked in the direction he pointed at the same time.

Ta-da, ta-da. The demon walking alone from the demon camp to the city wall looked like a knight on horseback.

On the silent battlefield, he walked alone without fear, giving people a sense of oppression that could not be expressed in words.

The knight on horseback felt that they were close enough and stopped his horse.

Bang! Then he threw something from his horse towards the city wall.

"That... is the Knight 'Maximus'?"

"I heard that he led the action team to the demon camp?"

"Mr. Maximus is the Seven Star Knight! He can't come back like this!" The knight on horseback threw the body of Knight Maximus.

Seeing the body of Maximus lying in front of the city wall, the soldiers were shocked, and some even sat on the ground. Then the knight on horseback said to the city wall.

"The body of Maximus has been delivered. It seems that this wall is guarded by the Knights of Corinth."

His voice was full of magic, and even though he spoke in a low voice, everyone on this side of the wall could hear him.

"Chick Grimwald! How about a long-awaited sword duel?" His provocation made the soldiers on the city wall uneasy.

Bang! At this moment, someone jumped up from under the city wall and landed on the wall.

Chick Grimwald.

Standing on the city wall, he looked angrily at the knight on horseback and drew his sword.

"The one who was once the Kingdom Sword has become an ugly demon dog. Serliban."
