Red Storm-Chapter 191
Book 5-8.2
“Oowoooo.”
Yulian let out a long shout as he charged through the knights’ formation. Nobody was able to prevent him from pushing through.
In addition, the knights had no other choice but to lose all courage, as Yulian was able to overpower them without killing a single one of them. All he did was push and make them fall down, or hit them with the side of the sword.
“All of the knights will go escort the princess-nim.”
Once Galero ordered the knights and started to engage Yulian, Paizeh quickly started to swing his sword at Yulian as well.
It would be shameful if someone found out that someone interfered while a master was fighting one on one, but Galero did not seem to mind as he focused on attacking Yulian.
He believed that he would not be able to defeat this desert warrior on his own, and Paizeh was feeling the same way.
The knights rushed over to Aizen while their leaders were holding Yulian back, and Aizen and Petri started to fight against the knights who were now surrounding them.
The knights used their well practiced teamwork to cover each other’s weaknesses, and tried to overwhelm Aizen and Petri with their numbers. However, Aizen parried each and every one of their attacks with his amazing skills, while purposely only injuring the knights a little bit at a time. Unfortunately, Petri’s situation was not good.
“Huff~ huff~!”
Petri let out some rough breaths.
He was also a master, but he had used up a lot of stamina while running away this whole time, and was not yet at a level to overwhelm these Royal Knights.
He would easily defeat any of them one on one, but this was a battle where he didn’t even have time to think. He just had to slash and stab almost instinctively. If Aizen had not helped him, he may have already fallen off his horse and ended up captured. Petri’s sword seemed to be losing its strength and his body looked weak. It was at that moment.
“Oowoooooo~!”
A group of people arrived while shouting out loudly.
Each of them had large greatswords in both hands, and rushed into the battlefield with enough force that made it seem like they wanted to crush everything in their way.
“Hold back while you attack!”
Yulian fended off the two master’s swords while shouting without even looking back.
“Oowoooooo~!”
The Red Storm responded to Yulian’s words and followed Yulian’s example of controlling their strength and using their skills to make the knights fall off their horses one by one.
“This makes no sense…….”
Paizeh watched his subordinates falling off their horses without being able to do anything and started to mumble with disbelief.
The Royal Knights of the Inama and Litmus Kingdoms were the best of the best even in the Western Continent. The fact that they could not fend off a group of desert warriors who were half their number was a large shock to all of them.
“Ack!”
Paizeh then was punished for losing focus and breaking his rhythm.
He could feel an intense pain pierce through his chainmail from the side.
Paizeh soon felt his body lift up in this air, before Yulian assisted him and ended up sliding down Yulian’s greatsword to lightly fall onto the sand.
“Masters of the continent. Isn’t this enough? We are not enemies who need to kill each other.”
As Yulian started to speak toward Galero, Galero bit down on his lips.
It was their complete defeat.
There were two masters and a hundred knights, but they were defeated by less than fifty individuals.
“Did you say… you were Yulian Provoke-nim … of Pareia?”
Yulian nodded his head at Galero’s shaky question.
“This Galero will remember Yulian-nim going easy on us. However……”
Galero put strength into the hand holding the sword.
“There will be significant repercussions on a national level. For both the Rojini Kingdom and Yulian-nim’s Pareia.”
“I understand. However, there is nothing I can do as Pareia is an ally of the Rojini Kingdom. As the Glow of Pareia, I will not avoid it. However, I wonder if we will have to shed blood for no reason.”
Galero stared intensely at Yulian’s response, before getting off his horse and supporting Paizeh up before shouting toward the knights.
“Knights! Stop battling and return!”
The knights all let out a sigh at Galero’s command before retreating toward their masters. Even the Narrate Empire’s Shimax, who had been watching all of this from the side, let out a sigh before moving with them.
None of them would hold a grudge as they lost due to their lack of strength in a fair battle, but it was true that they were all extremely angry.
This incident will definitely affect the Western continent, but will also end up affecting the state of affairs in both the desert and the Eastern Continent as well.
‘I don’t know whether to say they are amazing, or extremely immature……’
Yulian scratched his right cheek while watching Princess Erope and Petri quickly eating while maintaining their proper posture and dining etiquettes.
If he was in that situation, he would never throw away his nation for his own happiness.
‘If you were born as a princess and lived in happiness your whole life, you naturally have to take responsibility for that happiness.’
Although both Yulian and Grace could not understand, Aizen and Adelina thought a bit differently.
While it was true that their action was a bit irresponsible, they showed a lot of courage to do what they had done.
It was slightly different, but Aizen and Adelina could see a bit of their past selves reflected in Petri and Erope, that was why their gaze was full of concern.
“So what do you plan on doing from here on?”
Yulian finally asked once they were done with their meal and were sitting around drinking a cup of a tea.
“That...well… not yet.”
Petri answered like that and looked toward Erope, but there was no way Erope had any type of plan either. They were barely able to successfully escape their chasers; when would there have been any time to think?
“If you don’t have a plan in mind, come with us to our kingdom.”
Erope cautiously asked at Aizen’s response.
“If we go to the Rojini Kingdom, there will be a lot of diplomatic issues for you. You’ve already done so much for us……”
“Do not worry. If you just stay at our place, nobody will know.”
Erope and Petri’s expressions turned brighter at Adelina’s retort. The two of them were both tired from running away for so long.
“Anyways, I have to apologize to you, hyung-nim. I feel like Pareia will end up receiving the blunt of the issues.”
“It’s not like I could just sit back and watch. In addition, our Pareia no longer needs to fear the continent.”
Yulian knew that things will become difficult, but as he just said, Yulian made up his mind that they will no longer be afraid of any other nation.
“I am leaving with these wonderful memories and the beauty of the desert etched in my heart.”
“You are welcome to come back at any time.”
“Hyung-nim should visit our kingdom as well. It will feel very different compared to the desert.”
“I’m sure it is.”
Yulian and Aizen seemed to be disappointed to say goodbye as they continued on talking about all sorts of random topics. It was the same for Grace and Adelina as well.
“You must visit!”
“You can’t turn me away if I do come to see you.”
The two women were already talking very informally with each other and tightly held onto each other’s hands while saying goodbye. They were trying to console each other from the sorrows of their farewell.
Once it was time for them to leave, Aizen started to speak in a serious tone.
“If that day truly comes, I will rush over and do my part as well.”
Yulian put his hand on Aizen’s shoulder after hearing his sincere words and answered mischievously. It was much better to say goodbye on a happy note.
“It will definitely be of great assistance to me, but will the kingdom let you go? Hahaha.”
“I will come even if I need to run away. Also, I look forward to a competition between the Red Storm and my Red Eagle Knight Brigade next time as well.”
“Hahaha. I don’t mean to boast, but there is no other brigade that can defeat the Red Storm.”
As Yulian shrugged his shoulders and answered, Aizen started to smile as he responded.
“I also thought that my brigade was the strongest before meeting the Red Storm. Well, that thought hasn’t really changed though. Hahaha.”
“I look forward to it. I presume we will meet again soon.”
Aizen’s two eyes started to sparkle as he nodded his head.
“Then please be well until that day.”
“You be careful as well. I presume you’ll be fine with your level of skill, but you never know what may happen.”
“I have already faced many life or death situations.”
Yulian hugged Aizen before speaking.
“It really is difficult to say goodbye.”
The two of them hugged each other before saying goodbye, knowing that they will meet again in the future.
