Emperor of Steel - Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Chapter 68: The Outbreak of War 5

The army of Count Monarch had completely entered the canyon .

There were no signs until then, the knights and the soldiers were completely vigilant .

They looked forward to seeing the exit of the canyon, hoping to depart the canyon as quickly as possible .

So they didn’t know that the Rakan Viscount had hills under their territory .

Swooong? Kwang!

Shoong? Kwang! Kwang! Bang!

Suddenly, rocks and blocks of wood flew in like the shells from the hills .

The ten Gigants for ambush was throwing rocks, and their goal was to hit the trailers holding the Gigants .

“kwak!”

“What, what was it?”

“The enemy is on the hill! The enemy has appeared!”

That was when the Monarch soldiers discovered the existence of Rakan .

Whether they were yelling or not, the ten Rakan Gigants continued to throw rocks at the trailers .

“This! Protect the trailer!”

“Riders get on the Gigants quickly!”

Cain realized their purpose and ordered the knights .

He himself ran over to his own Gigant .

‘Hell, has been hit!’

What was the easiest way to defeat one’s opponent?

Skill-winning battles with sharp huge swords and powerful Gigant? Or was it aiming at the core of their strength?

Nope .

It was to prevent the riders from boarding their Gigants .

A Gigant without their rider was just an expensive can . Thus, since the Gigants were the rulers of the battlefield when such acts were done, they would turn weak .

In particular, those who had no Gigants or power obstacle use such tactics .

Of course, there have been counters for such tactics .

Alternating between numerous Gigant to reach one of theirs, the riders entered the cockpit of the Gigant which were in the trailer .

But the Monarch army was very proud of their Gigants and never used them for outside combat .

Nevertheless, everyone was quick to their tasks .

Some of the riders who were in the trailer successfully opened the hatch and boarded into the cockpit .

“Damn those cowards!”

“I am going to make them bleed like hell!”

The riders of the Monarch had no thought that Rakan would do such nasty tricks .

So, they pulled mana from the crystal ball .

But, nothing was moving even after the huge sounds .

“What, what is this?! Why isn’t this moving?”

“Is it broken?!”

Flustered riders came out of their Gigants . And when they tried to speak to the wizards, stones came flying towards the trailer .

“Dammit, damaged!”

The rider wrapped his hands around the wizard’s waist and jumped off the trailer .

Kwang! Kwang!

The moment they jumped out, the rocks flew in over the Gigants hatch .

When the first strike came in, the hatch crushed inside the Gigant .

‘Ruined!’

If the hatch was broken or crushed, it wouldn’t open well . So they had to tear it open completely .

The rider stomped the feet in anger .

‘What? Why aren’t any of the Gigants moving?’

Because of the continuous tossing of the rocks, Rogers knew the answer to the question .

His operation of aiming for the Gigant was successful .

But he never assumed that all the Gigants would stop working .

Some of the riders were already in the Gigants, and some riders quickly escaped from the rocks and log attacks .

There was still time, however, none of the body moved from the trailer .

“General! What are those guys doing?”

Philip was on Sting II, and asked as he had the same thought,

“I don’t know either . Anyway, it seems like we have overpowered the Gigants . ”

“Tch, I was hoping for some epic war between big swords…”

“This isn’t a Gigant arena, even if you didn’t have any fun, winning the war is the most important factor . ”

Rogers, who spoke back to Philip, drew out his weapon and shouted,

“Charge!”

Kukukung!

“Waahh!”

From the canyon, the 10 Gigants in the Rakan territory began to push forward .

Their numbers weren’t that large, but the army which had been shocked with the turmoil wasn’t able to respond at all .

Cain got into the knight class Gigant and almost threw up blood .

No matter how much mana he tried to induce into the crystal ball, the Gigant did not start .

‘It was fine when I checked it in the morning, why now?’

However, it was a problem with just one Gigant, it was with all the 42 Gigants in their army .

Unbearable at the non-functioning of them, Cain yelled out to the Iron Mages who were outside .

“Wizard Robinson! What the hell is this?”

“That, I too am looking into…!”

The 5th circle wizard, Robinson, the chief Iron mage was also confused .

To know the reason, he would have to open the Gigant and then look inside, but that couldn’t be done in a battle .

“Make it move right now…!”

Cain was trying to make it move .

Suddenly, a huge sound began to come from the canyon, and the Gigants of the Rakan began to descend .

“Dammit, knights go forward! Block them until the Gigants get fixed!”

To fight a Gigant, the knight has to be an Expert .

Because they can’t go against the Gigant’s sword, he has to use the sword .

Among the knights which were brought in for the war, less than 20 of them were Experts . In addition, there was no way one could be sure of them stopping the Gigants because they had been from the energy drain for the past three days .

However, now wasn’t the time for them to cover .

Cain who jumped out of the hatch of his Gigant pulled out his sword and ended up giving Robinson an ultimatum .

“I am giving you 10 minutes . If you don’t fix it in 10 minutes, I’ll use this sword to blow up all the wizards in here!”

Cain, with his sword, rode on a horse and ran forward with his men towards the Gigants .

“Kyaa, my lovely treasure…”

While Cain was moving, Sebastian who was far from them, laughed seeing the scene .

His surroundings were full of huge stones .

Sebastian, liked the magic stones much more than any jewels, as he was a spiritual demon .

Especially on the Earth, there were a lot of huge magic stones, which were very rare to see in the Devildom . That too, in a steel giant which looked completely useless .

So, Sebastian went undercover an hour back and pulled out the magic stones which were supposed to be in the core engine of the Gigants .

As the ability of the demons wasn’t recognizable by the humans, specifically in the case of Sebastian who was a notorious thief, his stealth was unrecognizable .

If the wizards of the Count were properly paying attention, they would have noticed that the core magic stone had been missing .

However, in the past few days, they had been so concerned with their own health, that they didn’t care about the mana flow in the Gigants .

Whatever be the case, Sebastian made the Gigants of the Count impossible to move .

If Cain knew about it, he would have probably vomited blood, however, Sebastian didn’t know of it . No, the more unhappy the other side felt, the more happy Sebastian was feeling .

“How many should I give to the master? Then he would give back my body, right?”

There was no definite way that the treatment might change in the future .

Judging for himself, Sebastian left the place with a sack filled with magic stones .

While the greedy wicked demon stepped out, 80 knights led by Cain clashed with the 10 Gigants of Rakan .

At first, knights seemed to dominate .

However, their opponent was the Gigant, the ruler of the battlefield .

In addition, there were knights and other beginner knights of the Rakan who were assisting their own Gigants .

In the end, the Monarch knights didn’t even manage to last 10 minutes .

Most of them were stepped on or trapped under the foot of the Gigants, and the Expert Knights who had huge swords were also taken down .

There were just a few knights left, including Cain .

The other wizards surrendered the moment Rakan knights had gotten close to them, and the soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered .

The wizards weren’t loyal to the Count as they had been hired for money, and the normal soldiers didn’t care who won the battle .

The biggest reason they had surrendered was because of the lack of energy .

In any case, the Rakan territory had won with an unexpectedly easy victory .

And obtained a huge group of prisoners .

Excited about the victory, they never imagined that anything unexpected would have happened in the Manor .
