Overgeared

Pured Bridge.

It was a bridge crossing a river that was bigger than a lake. It belonged to the Belto Kingdom and was one of the core transportation routes. It was called the ‘immortal bridge’ because it never collapsed.

Dudududududu!

There were 300 horses marching on the bridge. There were so many that a person had to stare closely at the legs to find out that there were 300 horses. It was the armored elite troops’ 4th Battalion.

"Speed up!”

The 4th Battalion’s specialty was to be swift and surprising. It was in order to supplement the disadvantage of having low numbers.

"Quickly occupy the watchtower at the end of the bridge!”

If their surprise attack was exposed by the enemy guarding the watchtower, things could become annoying. Bocard, leader of the 4th Battalion, believed this and prompted the soldiers. The soldiers responded to his expectations by using advanced skills. Immediately crossing the bridge, they narrowed the distance to the tower to three meters and leapt from their saddle. It was a perfect jump without a loss of balance!

Chwaruruk!

They threw chains that wrapped around the pillars of the watchtower.

“Enemy...! Eek!”

The Ares soldiers on the watchtower detected it too late and died. It was right to say that they lost their lives the moment they discovered the enemy. The 4th Battalion was extremely stealthy and quick.

"The enemy!"

The guards weren’t aware of the enemy’s intrusion until half their defense had disappeared. By then, it was too late. The armored elite troops had already climbed up the chains and were running wild in the watchtower.

"Set a fire! We must inform the others of the enemy’s intrusion!”

The Pured Bridge was in a fully exposed location so it was easy to monitor. That’s why the defense became conceited. They never imagined the armored elite troops would break through here and were too relaxed. Pured’s defense leader tried to set a signal fire. But the armored elite troops wouldn’t let him. He was quickly suppressed by the soldiers and the fire put out. The defense chief on the ground discovered Bocard.

"Right now, you are using Duke Ares’ techniques! If it wasn’t for Duke Ares, you wouldn’t exist! How dare you sprinkle blood on Duke Ares’ land?”

"The reason we trained with Duke Ares was for the royal family. Duke Ares was a great general and teacher, but he’s a traitor for betraying the royal family.”

[Quest failed!]

[You have failed to convince 4th Battalion’s Captain Bocard!]

[Retreat from Pured Bridge! Make sure Duke Ares knows about the enemy’s intrusion!]

'Shit!'

The Pured Bridge’s defense chief was a player of the Ares Army, Baphrang. In fact, he had been disappointed in his role in this war. He was asked to guard the bridge that the enemy would never attack, so he felt like he had been relegated to the periphery. He felt it was unfair because he wouldn’t have a chance to build up achievements. But now his role was very important.

‘It’s over if they break through here.’

Pured Bridge was the shortest route to reach Ares’ city. What if he gave way to the enemy here? Ares would be surprised without a chance to properly defend.

‘It’s dangerous. Somehow I have to pass the news to Ares!’

If he used the guild chat or whisper system then he could easily tell Ares about the enemy’s invasion. But the problem was that a quest was currently in progress. The moment that armored elite troops, Baphrang, received the penalty of having all ranged communications blocked. He had to run directly to the castle.

“Hat!”

Baphrang jumped off the watchtower. A man in heavy armor jumping out of a six meter high tower? He would surely be injured by the fall effect. But Baphrang was a third advancement user and had good control. He used a charge just before his two feet neared the ground, twisted the orbit of his body and countered gravity.

However, he couldn’t escape. It was because Bocard predicted Baphrang’s landing point and threw a spear.
