Chapter 647 Rain of fire (5)
?General Killock's goal was the general of the Beirut Kingdom's army
That was why he was charging deep into the formation of the Beirut Kingdom's army.
That was where the general was hiding with his most elite troops, as well as magicians that were able to block the fire breath of the wyverns. That was how they had been able to sustain the least injuries out of the entire Beirut Kingdom army.
Most of the injuries and deaths were at the outer edges where their commoner infantry were.
The ones in the center all had better armour and weapons, showing that they were in a different class.
Whether that was because they were the soldiers of a knight or the soldiers of a noble, they were soldiers that had a backer.
However, none of them were able to stop General Killock even with this better equipment. General Killock and his men were able to charge deep into the formation of the Beirut Kingdom army without being stopped.
Was it because they were simply stronger?
No, it wasn't that simple.
It was because of the support that came from above.
Whenever it seemed like General Killock and his men would encounter an enemy that would be hard to face, there were wyverns that dived down from the sky. These wyverns that dived down shot their flame breaths on the enemies block General Killock's way, destroying their formations.
Once their formations were destroyed, it was easy for General Killock and his men to push even deeper.
Perhaps if this only happened once or twice, one might think that it was a coincidence.
However, it happened more than just once or twice. It happened every time that General Killock's group faced an enemy that was hard to deal with.
Every time, there would be wyverns diving down and breathing fire on their enemies to break their formation.
If one didn't know better, they might have even thought that the wyverns were working with General Killock.
After all, this was all just too much of a coincidence that the wyverns would keep helping General Killock and his men.
But General Killock didn't understand what was happening either.
As far as he knew, he didn't have any connections to the wyverns, so it wasn't as if there was a reason for them to help him. Yet they were coming down and clearing the way for him the entire time…
As he thought about it, General Killock suddenly remembered something.
"Wasn't Count Zwein supposed to be dealing with some wyverns for his highness?"
There was a conclusion that slowly started to form in the back of his mind, but it almost seemed too crazy that he couldn't bring himself to accept it.
Or at least that would have been the case if it wasn't for who the person he was thinking of was.
Count Zwein had shown him many crazy things already, so it might actually be possible…that he had done this.
But General Killock kept this thought in the back of his mind as he focused on what was in front of him.
Right now, the most important thing was taking down the Beirut Kingdom's general.
As long as that general was taken down, then they would be able to scatter the Beirut Kingdom army and send them packing. After all, they were still far outnumbered by the enemy, so it wasn't as if they could clean them up.
But there was a small part of him that wanted them to escape.
After seeing the two massacres back to back, he didn't want to see another massacre.
That was just what he thought as a fellow human.
It didn't take long for them to reach the center of the Beirut Kingdom army formation.
Right in the center, there was a large group that was gathered together, seemingly protecting something. All of them were wielding large shields and had heavy armour, as well as having the support of magicians.
It was clear that whatever was here was important to the Beirut Kingdom army.
Even if the wyverns came down to support General Killock's group with their fire breath, the magicians were able to stop them.
So this time, it was a head on fight for General Killock and his men.
But it was still an easy fight since the other side was exhausted from blocking the rain of fire from the wyverns. They had been using those heavy shields and thick armour to guard themselves the entire time, which must have been very hard for them.
At the same time, with the heavy armour and shields they were wielding, it was hard for them to move quickly.
So they couldn't keep up with the speed that General Killock and his men had.
They were able to easily go around the Beirut Kingdom soldiers and push right through them.
It was just that…they found that this was a trap.
Right behind these heavy shield lines, there was an empty space.
Then further in, there seemed to be ballistas that were set up pointing at the sky.
However, the moment that General Killock and his men pushed through, this ballistas were pointed down at them.
It seemed like there was nowhere for them to escape…
General Ivan, the general from the Beirut Kingdom was surprised to see General Killock and his men, but he looked at him with a bitter smile as he said, "So it seems that we meet again."
General Killock gave a nod before saying, "It's been a while since that battle."
The two of them just stared at each other for a bit before General Ivan raised his hand and gave the order, "Fire!"
General Killock on the other hand said, "Scatter out, don't give them a target!"
But the ballistas never got a chance to fire in the end.
There was a powerful roar that came from the sky before wyverns suddenly appeared.
This time, there were over a hundred wyverns that gathered and all of them were gathering their flame breath.
