Trash of the Count's Family

Teaser: Chris Jericho saying "You just made the list!"

Boom- boom- boom-

The ground began to rumble again with the sound of the drums.

“C, crazy bastards!”

The Vice Captain unintentionally started to swear.

“Vice Captain-nim! It’s the Whipper Kingdom’s soldiers!”

“Damn it! I can’t believe the soldiers are coming out too. Are they planning to have an all-out battle right now?”

“…It looks like only the mages are planning to remain in the castle! All the soldiers are coming out!”

The voices of the knights, alchemists, and mages all jumbled together. However, everyone’s eyes were fixed onto the battlefield.

Behind the Bears came tens of thousands of armed soldiers with stiff expressions on their faces.

It was an incredibly small number compared to the Empire’s army, but it was still tens of thousands of soldiers. Most importantly…

“Crazy bastards……!”

They were a group of crazy people.

They were the ones that had laughed and ran amok in the pit of hellfire.

The soldiers were running forward with nothing but their bodies and their weapons.

‘…It’s frightening.’

The Vice Captain was frightened by the sight.

Unlike the other kingdoms, the Empire possessed magic and alchemy that were both developed to the highest level of technological prowess. However, those from the Empire were afraid of the soldiers that ran towards them with nothing but their bodies.

“…Focus on defense as much as possible while using the dirt wall as our line of defense!”

“Vice Captain-nim!”

The Vice Captain looked at the knight that was calling him.

“His Highness will be arriving soon! How can we show him such passive defense like this?”

Let’s fight bravely because the Imperial Prince will arrive soon.

The Vice Captain looked into the knight’s eyes.

The knight had seen his colleagues being torn to death by the Whipper Kingdom warriors in the pit of hellfire. There was fear in his eyes.

It was an emotion that someone from the Empire shouldn’t be showing.

‘We had a long period of peace.’

It had been a long time since the world had last experienced a war.

That was why they didn’t understand the meaning of war.

‘However, the Whipper Kingdom knows it.’

The period of peace.

Toonka’s group was the first to start fighting during that time of peace.

‘We didn’t realize that.’

What good were swords made of gold if you never used them?

How could they defeat the warriors that didn’t even hold swords made from dirt, but instead plowed through the mud with their bare hands?

The Empire’s army had no experience going past their limits.

“No, we’re going to hold out.”

That was why the Vice Captain chose to defend. However, several dissenting voices immediately started to speak up.

“We can’t do that!”

They were the leaders of the mages and alchemists.

“Vice Captain! We must fight in order to maintain the Empire’s pride!”

“That’s right. We cannot show people that we are being pushed back! It will be bad if our already low fighting spirit decreases even further! We need to boost our morale!”

‘These scumbags.’

Anger rose within the Vice Captain's mind at the sight of the leaders of the mages and alchemists.

‘Basically, you’re saying that the knights and the infantry are the ones who will die, right?’

The mages and alchemists would remain behind the dirt wall’s line of defense. However, the knights and the infantry, including the Vice Captain, had to step outside the line of defense and clash with the Whipper Kingdom’s army.

“Vice Captain-nim! His Highness will arrive soon!”

“We will look incompetent to his highness and the nobles even if we are splendidly holding down the line!”

“That’s right! We have to show them that we’re fighting hard in order to reduce the liability of our last defeat.”

Two of the knights looked earnestly at him. The Vice Captain closed his eyes after seeing the knights who were wary of the Imperial Prince’s impression.

‘Damn it! Our liabilities aren’t the issue here! We might die!’

How do these knights plan on defeating the Whipper Kingdom’s army that are putting their lives on the line when they shake in fear merely at the thought of their liabilities?

However, the Vice Captain was not someone who held the authority to command the entire army as he was only a Vice Captain.

“…Prepare for battle.”

The wooden door between the dirt walls slowly opened a few moments later and revealed the Empire’s army.

There stood the remaining half of the First Knights Brigade and the Empire’s soldiers who had swallowed their fear.

The ground was rumbling.

The earth rumbled more and more as the enemies approached.

“Kahahahaha! Did you finally come out to fight? Such cowards!”

Toonka jeered at the Empire’s army.

The battlefield was already filled with the Whipper Kingdom’s forces.

The soldiers, Bears, and warriors filled the battleground between Maple Castle and the Empire’s base while maintaining a wide formation.

The Vice Captain steered his horse forward.

“Your formation is sloppy.”

The Whipper Kingdom that didn’t have enough troops even if they gathered together was continuously widening their formation.

The Vice Captain immediately recognized what they were trying to do.

“It seems like you want a melee.”

He slowly raised his sword and stepped forward.

It was possible that he was the only one in the Empire’s army who was willing to risk his life like those from the Whipper Kingdom’s army.

That was why he shouted.

“Concentrate our forces! Our role is to survive until the Imperial Prince arrives!”

He chose to survive.

“Vice Captain-nim!”

He ignored the knight’s protest.
