When I was working as a civil servant, I was found out to be a muscle-brained knight by the princess knight and got sent to the front lines - Episode 27

Episode 27

About 30 minutes before Princess René activated the strategic-level magic. The 7th Legion, without any hesitation, launched an assault on the massive army of monsters surrounding the fortress city of Graysian, numbering close to 100,000. Upon seeing this, the 8th Legion also sallied forth from the city gates as they did yesterday.

Led by Oscar, the 2nd Regiment of the 8th Legion initiated the charge with around 500 cavalry and chariots, while 1,000 heavily armored infantry pressed into any gaps formed in the enemy lines. Additionally, the 1st and 3rd Regiments supported the attack. It was literally a full-scale resistance operation of Graysian, utilizing all available forces.

The positioning of the enemy’s main force, the Orc King, and Princess René’s group was on opposite sides of Graysian. Therefore, to lure out the enemy and guide them towards Princess René’s side, the 8th Legion Commander, Finn Morgan, maneuvered his troops.

While the 7th Legion attacked from the opposite side, the 8th Legion, which sallied forth from the city gates, was driven towards the 7th Legion to keep up the pressure. The monsters that had been flowing towards the 7th Legion as reinforcements to rescue their overwhelmed allies were now pressed even further by the flow towards the 8th Legion.

The massive army of monsters that had surrounded Graysian gradually began to gather on the open plains as the field of view widened.

Directly commanding the delicate movements required at the front line was the Legion Commander, Finn Morgan. Despite being advised by his staff to hold back, he saw this as the decisive moment and led his troops, including his personal guard, to confront the Orc King directly.

“GRAAAAAHHH!!!” “NUUUUUHH!!!”

The fearsome great sword wielded by the Orc King clashed repeatedly with Finn’s war club, creating a deafening noise. While engaging in fierce combat, despite being surrounded by other monsters, Finn and the Orc King fought fiercely. Meanwhile, Finn’s personal guard supported him by launching magic attacks at the Orc King from a distance.

While Finn and his personal guard held off the Orc King, Oscar and his troops supported them, ensuring that no additional monsters approached Finn’s group.

Leading Finn’s personal guard was Sam Hawkins, the captain of the 100-man squad of the 1st Regiment and a seasoned warrior who had teamed up with Finn for many years. They first met on a battlefield over 20 years ago, and since then, Sam had supported Finn from the front lines. Their coordination was impeccable, as they anticipated each other’s moves perfectly.

“URAAAAAHHHH!!!”

With brute strength, Finn effortlessly swung his war club and large shield, engaging the Orc King in single combat. This was the nature of the Tashman Kingdom.

“Hmph!”

The Orc King, whose posture was disrupted by the shield bash, tried to strike back with full force, but Finn dodged. The swung war club missed its mark and crashed spectacularly into the ground.

Taking advantage of this opening, Finn’s personal guard launched distracting attacks at the Orc King.

Although they hadn’t defeated the Orc King yet, the battlefield was gradually tilting in their favor.

And scene shifts back to where Princess René is about to unleash the strategic-level magic.

Thanks to Finn and the efforts of the 8th Legion, the situation had stabilized. Moreover, Flame Sovereign had absorbed enough monster blood and was now in an awakened state.

“Erin! Give the signal!”

Responding to Princess René’s instruction, Erin launched a signal flare. Upon seeing this, both the 7th and 8th Legions simultaneously began to retreat.

Furthermore, the elite guard under Princess René’s direct command took their positions around her. This hundred-man squad, equipped with special shields, was specifically for Princess René. Leading them was Lily Johnson, the princess’ childhood friend.

“Princess René, we’re in position!”

Surrounding Princess René as if constructing a magical array, Lily led the elite hundred-man squad. Each of them held decorated round shields and channeled magic through special magic stones attached to their equipment.

And finally, the incantation began.

“Beyond the nine steps, gather in my hands, flames of karma.”

Suddenly, a red light emitted from Princess René’s feet, and through the specialized equipment of the elite hundred-man squad, a complex and large-scale magic array was constructed.

“O flame dragon passed down since ancient times,”

Princess René’s beautiful long hair, shining golden, was dyed red by the condensed crimson magic, and her azure eyes were also tinged with red.

“Soar the heavens, scorch the earth,”

Flame wings manifested from Princess René’s back, and sparks danced around her.

“Show thy absolute power against my enemies,”

A tremendous amount of magic was released from the Flame Sovereign sword thrust toward the sky, and a pillar of flame reaching the heavens materialized.

“Guided by the Flame Sovereign sword surpassing kings, O flame dragon that incinerates all, roar now!”

As Princess René, with flapping flame wings, floated gently upwards,

“Ninth Tier Magic, Flame of Judgement.”

With the completion of the incantation, Princess René swung down the Flame Sovereign sword raised to the sky, aiming at the enemy’s vast army.

A massive pillar of flame, observed even from distant Kohane, descended from the heavens, and the world was dyed red.
