Chapter 709: Battle Between Father and Daughter 4

Mikhail was shocked and flustered.


“Wh-what is going on?”


“Enemy ambush! Suddenly the enemy troops broke in from behind!”


The lieutenant looked to the rear and shouted.


“What?!”


The attack from behind of the Baroque Troops was a mix of Gigants and cavalry commanded by Count Darland.


While the soldiers were still building their camps, the enemy secretly bypassed into the Baroque camp.


And those of them who managed to hide took the opportunity where Count Ferrero managed to grab the attention of the enemy camp.


“Charge! Take down all the enemies!”


“Woah!!”


The Symphonia troops entered from behind without any hesitation.


Darland, who was known to have a weak body and low sword skills, was more suitable for planning than on field battles.


And his ability to plan had shone in battles multiple times.


However, as long as the enemy’s Gigants troops and the other main force were concentrated in stopping Count Ferrero, the troops brought in by Darland could sweep off the enemy.


“Uh, that is cheating! Ferrero, you tricked all of us!”


Mikhail grunted through his teeth.


Count Ferrero, who was rushing at him, stopped and laughed at it.


“Hahahaha! You stupid Mikhail! How does it feel to be treated like this by a traitor?”


“Ughhh!”


At Ferrero’s mockery, Count Mikhail clenched his fists.


He wanted to kill Ferrero right away. However, he didn’t have the chance to do it anymore.


From behind, there were enemy troops coming.


And if the rear of the camp collapsed, the front would fall too.


“Hurry up and save our men!”


The Gigants, which were at the forefront, tried to step to the rear as ordered.


However, Count Ferrero managed to stop them from moving.


“Uhhu, where do you think you are going? Did you think that I’ll just stand and watch you leave?”


The Gigant troops of the enemy, who were supposed to retreat, went stiff at Ferrero’s words.


There was no way Ferrero would simply let them leave. And showing their back to Ferrero, the man who was riding a Hero class Gigant was dangerous.


And there was also another risk of being pinched from the front and back.


Eventually, Mikhail made a decision.


“Half of the Gigant troops remain, and the other half hurry back and wipe out the enemies!”


“Yes, sire!”


However, the movement of the Gigant troops of Baroque wasn’t that smooth.


Because of the infantry unit that was pushed to the back a little while ago, the space for Gigants to move was crowded.


Plus, while they were hesitating, Ferrero was approaching them,


“Damn it! What are you doing?! Go ahead!”


“But the infantry is…”


“Don’t mind it! Push ahead! Hurry!”


At the furious shout of Mikhail, the Gigant troops were compelled to step onto the infantry and start moving.


“Kuakkk!”


“Yah! You bastard! There are people over here!”


“Hiik! Get out, get out right now!”


Actually, the battlefield wasn’t that cramped.


However, when the enemy troops ambushed them from behind, the entire line got destroyed in the mayhem, and the commander wasn’t able to give out proper orders.


And a significant number of troops were taken to the forefront, which caused the knights and Gigants to flock ahead.


And the weaknesses of the Libiya mercenaries, which number got revealed.


“Don’t panic and rearrange the line!”


“You idiots! You are the men of the sea!”


“Damn it, we are the land and sea!”


“If you are that confident then go ahead and stop them!”


Sabina and her men tried to control the mercenaries.


However, contrary to their thoughts, the confusion showed no signs of subsiding, and only swearing and backlash broke out from everywhere.


And while the Baroque troops and Libiya troops were flustered, the enemy Gigants and soldiers, who stayed back in their camps, poured out and followed Count Ferrero.


“Wh-what is the artillery units doing? Shoot!”


As Ferrero approached him, Mikhail yelled for the artillery.


The moment the artillery tried to fire, Ferrero raised his giant sword and hit it hard on the ground.


“Woah!”


When a Gigantic aura formed on the sword that hit the ground, the entire ground around the sword shattered and shook as if an earthquake hit it.


As a result, the cannons’ aim, which was around the Orion went distorted.


Some shells were fired into the sky while some of them hit the ground in front.


And a few more hit the friendly troops or Gigants.


“These stupid artillery men!”


“We are stupid to put hope onto you men!”


The remaining Baroque Gigants rushed for Count Ferrero.


Until a while back, he was a respectable man, but once the battle began, he was nothing more than an enemy.


Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!


Dozens of Gigants ran ahead at once.


Ferrero, not one bit flustered, took steps close to the enemy.


The ones he hit first were the enemy Gigants with the Gigantic Aura still intact on his sword, and then he grabbed the dummy Gigant and pushed it into the ground.


The other Gigants tried to avoid getting hit by the Giant Sword of Count Ferrero, which didn’t show any signs of stopping.


“Ju-jump!”


“It makes no sense, how is he making such light movements!”


If a rider was skilled, one could take a lead to the sky even with the heavy Gigant.


Yet, that trick had limitations.


But Ferrero’s Orion jumped so high that it looked like it was flying.


Ferrero’s skills were outstanding. However, the performance of Orion was even more extraordinary.


The original powerful core engine and the artificial muscles, which were included in it just before the war, had doubled the movement of the Gigant.


“Hahaha! This Gigant is moving as if it is my own body!”


“Woah!”


Thud!


Slash! Slash!


The moment Count Ferrero landed on the ground, he violently swung his sword that still had the Gigantic Aura over dozens of enemy Gigants.


He ran straight at Mikhail, who was still in shock.


“You said you weren’t avoiding the battle just because you were scared of me, right? I should just cut you down right here, you piece of shit!”


“Ughh! You, damn it!”


Mikhail, flustered, threw shields and swords that were set aside at Ferrero.


He knew very well that he couldn’t face Ferrero with his skills.


“Save the commander!”


The remaining Baroque Gigants rushed in to stop Count Ferrero.


But before they could even reach him, Count Ferrero’s giant sword touched Mikhail’s Gigant.


Mikhail tried to escape.


However, with his skills being just a Sword Expert, there was no way he could stop the attacks from Ferrero, who was an Advanced Sword Master.


Puck! Slash!


Red blood smeared from the giant sword that was pulled out after piercing the Gigant.


Mikhail’s Gigant, which staggered for a while, quickly fell to the ground.


“Co-commander!”


The Baroque riders and knights went pale at what they saw.


Count Ferrero, who stopped Mikhail’s breath, shouted at the castle.


“Surrender! If you don’t want to surrender, run away! However, if you want to protect the crazy emperor, you will die in my hands!”


The thunderous shout that was amplified by the Gigant resounded across the battlefield.


The alliance troops, which started the help from behind, were ready to use their hands in the battle.


As the head of the Baroque military fell, the troops were devastated.


The soldiers threw away their spears and weapons. They were the first to run away, and riders let down their giant swords.


The large army, which had surprised the Continental alliance, collapsed in a single battle.


But neither Ferrero nor Darland knew what was waiting for them.
