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 201

Episode 201

“Don’t you think it would have been legendary in various ways if Episode 200 had ended abruptly with ‘The End’?”  

“Just look forward!”  

“…Victor, it’s about time you stopped this, you know?”  

“Our fight is just beginning!!”

The 500 muscle-bound warriors soared through the skies of the Divina Papal State, attacking the frenzied Holy Knights.  

The 10,000 troops of the Holy Levia Knights, led by Archbishop Lucius Agrippa, had been engaged with the mysterious diplomat coming towards them alone. Suddenly, they were ambushed by peace envoys dropping from the sky.  

Just as a shadow ran across the sky, the Holy Knights looked up to see a colossal ship with wings floating high above them. The surreal sight even made some of the knights utter prayers to the gods. However, for the Levia Knights, the ship was not a divine vessel but a den of demons.  

After the final ultimatum from the diplomat in front of the Levia Knights, the ship descended from the sky in response. The knights, stunned by the sight, soon realized that the ship was beginning to open fire on the outer perimeter of the Levia Knights stationed near the ancient city of Paradis. Additionally, small objects were raining down from the ship.  

At first, the Levia Knights couldn’t discern what the small objects were. But as they descended further, they realized they were all people. Though they didn’t understand what the ship and its occupants were, it was clear they were under attack. The knights attempted to counter with anti-aircraft fire.  

The ship’s artillery fire, seemingly not intended to hit, nonetheless created intense explosions around their position. It caused significant disruptions and made it impossible to focus on anti-aircraft defenses.  

Meanwhile, inside the Ark Mandjet/Mesektet, the overly enthusiastic alchemist Victor was about to recklessly fire weapons against Jez’s orders. Just before that, Miriam Stonewell took control of all weaponry systems on the bridge. Successfully disarming Victor for the moment, Miriam began intimidation fire towards the ground. Miriam’s forehead bore an angry mark, and she occasionally gave Victor a sharp, disapproving glare.  

As the knights’ formation was heavily disrupted, the first wave of muscle-bound warriors began to land in the enemy ranks. These were the two hundred-strong squads led by the brilliant Ida Niemi and Ole Halvorsen, who were said to carry the future of the northern front of the Tashman Kingdom. They converted the energy from their catapults into destructive power, fulfilling their role as the vanguard of the assault landing troops.  

They countered magic attacks from the ground while descending and then launched attacks against the anti-aircraft positions. The two hundred muscle-bound warriors, descending from the sky at an incredible speed, created a series of craters in the wilderness near the ancient city of Paradis.  

The first to penetrate the enemy lines was Ida Niemi, the hundred-man squad leader. Her mother, a fierce warrior who served as a Regiment Commander under Commander Gerald of the Second Legion, had trained her. Using the thrust from the catapult and the kinetic energy from the fall, she swung her massive warhammer in the air and prepared to strike.  

“Take this!!!!”  

Just before crashing into the ground, she slammed the warhammer down with all her might. The impact shattered the earth, causing a violent tremor and sending dozens of Holy Knights flying. In the middle of the formation of 10,000 troops, which was usually a place that wouldn’t be attacked, the sudden situation caused even greater confusion.  

Then came a continuous barrage of ninety-nine attacks. Almost without pause, the members of the Niemi squad descended from the sky, causing the Holy Levia Knights’ chaos to spiral out of control.  

At the same time that Ida and her squad were securing a beachhead for the assault landing, Ole Halvorsen’s squad also began landing in a somewhat distant location.  

Ole Halvorsen, who had risen from a commoner to his current position, was a relatively rare calm type among the hot-headed soldiers of the northern front. He was known for his ability to observe the surrounding situation and target key points precisely.

His weapon is a large spear. Although it currently has safety gear attached to the tip, he, too, uses the full thrust of the catapult, the energy from the fall, and his own strength to deliver a powerful strike.  

“Make sure you escape properly, okay?”  

As he warns the fleeing Holy Knights, Ole delivers a full-force thrust towards the ground. The immense energy contained in the spear is released all at once, causing the ground to explode. Holy Knights are blown away, and soldiers from Halvorsen’s squad continue to descend.  

In this way, Ida and Ole manage to secure a foothold in the midst of the enemy’s 10,000 troops. The remaining 300 warriors will now descend towards this foothold.  

Meanwhile, air raids from the Ark Mandjet/Mesektet continue. And on the front lines, Jez continues to single-handedly maintain his diplomatic prowess.
