A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 387



Episode 387

Wow! Wow!

The Twin Headed Cyclops roared as it charged towards the Northern Archduke.

Since he didn’t have a sledgehammer he tried to crush her with his whole body.

At that moment the Northern Grand Duke who had been watching raised his greatsword.

She ran forward holding a heavy greatsword as big as her body in one hand and then ran up and hurled the greatsword straight at the Cyclops.

Kwaaaaang!

The greatsword flew towards the Cyclops with a sound that tore the air.

The Cyclops panicked at the unexpected attack and tried to stop his charge but it was no use.

The greatsword thrown by the Northern Duke pierced the Twin Headed Cyclops’s forearm and passed through to its chest.

thud!

A twin-headed cyclops with a huge hole in its chest fell to its knees.

The Northern Duke walked leisurely and placed his foot on one of the heads of the Twin-Headed Cyclops.

Kookookookook―

As she slowly stomped on his head it shattered into pieces as if a giant’s hammer had fallen from the sky.

Quaddukduk―

The Northern Duke trampled and crushed even the last remaining head.

And as she stretched her hand towards the sky the great sword that had disappeared into the air flew in from somewhere and landed in her hand.

The Northern Duke turned his head towards the other Cyclops who were retreating hesitantly holding their greatswords in their hands.

She leaped into the air with her sword in hand.

One sword cuts both ways

It was the most appropriate word to describe the Northern Duke’s swordsmanship.

With each swing of the greatsword the Cyclops’ waists were split.

The floor was littered with corpses of Cyclops split in half.

The hordes of Cyclops that had gathered in the dozens were all turned into corpses and scattered around the wall.

Thud! Thud!

After defeating the monsters the Northern Duke walked through the snowfield stained with the blood of the monsters and came to where Sven and Nikolai were.

She took something out of her bosom and threw it at Sven.

It was a potion that was effective for trauma.

Sven quickly fed Nikolai the potion and took out the wound healing agent applying it to his shoulder and leg.

Fortunately there seemed to be no danger to life.

Then the gates of the barrier opened and rangers and knights came rushing out pulling wagons.

“Get him inside quickly! Let’s take him to the therapist!”

The rangers quickly applied splints to Nikolai’s shoulders and legs secured him to prevent him from shaking and then pulled the cart inside.

Sven and the other northern knights bowed their heads to the Northern Duke.

The Northern Duke who was watching this took off his wolf-shaped helmet.

The face of a girl so delicate that it was hard to believe she was the knight who had just mercilessly annihilated the monsters appeared.

Her braided blonde hair flowed naturally.

Her eyes shining as if set with blue sapphires looked at the knights of Himonas.

Sven said as he looked at the Northern Duke.

“My lord the damn monsters keep coming.”

Sven tried his best to refrain from using harsh language but he couldn’t hide the anger inside him.

Alicia turned her head and looked towards the ice mountain range.

She said her gaze fixed on the mountain range.

“Gather an expedition.”

It was a husky voice completely different from her slender appearance.

She continued speaking with a fierce aura holding the Northern Grand Duke’s symbol the ‘Nanga Sword Fenrir’.

“I’m going to go and wipe out all those damn monsters.”

Doo doo doo doo!

Zeke was running towards the northern continent with the main knights of the Black Sword Knights and the great knights.

The Black Spirits the personal guard of the Black Sword Knights consisting of Liam Felix Diego and Asterik followed Zeke.

Those who followed Zeke and gained experience in various battlefields and were trained in the Auror training of Shaton by Duke surprisingly all reached the level of Blue Knight.

Zeke was organizing them into a separate bodyguard unit to gain more combat experience.

Following the Black Spirit Band a large barbarian force was riding fiercely on unicorns.

On the other side the knights of House Tourne who were no less powerful than the barbarians in terms of size followed Sieg on their rough horses.

Just then someone came riding up next to Zeke.

“The information that monsters are appearing and invading the Ice Mountains is accurate!”

She was none other than Rayna Draker.

Reina whose hair had grown longer than before had shed all of her youthful air and grown into a dignified knight of Draker.

Zeke nodded at Reina.

“You’ve become more suspicious since we last met Reyna Draker.”

Then Reina said with a frown.

“I’m not doubting I’m just trying to be precise!”

In her previous life Reina was one of the five-star knights who gained fame in the Continental War and was nicknamed the Knight of Flash.

As great as her potential was she grew a lot while we weren’t looking.

Currently she has surpassed the level of the Purple Knight and has reached the level of the Blue Knight.

The reason Reina was able to reach the realm faster than in her previous life was actually because she constantly worked hard to keep up with Zeke.

But Zeke grew up much faster than she did.

When Reina heard the news that Zeke had become the Black Knight and the guardian knight of the family she began to feel admiration and awe for him rather than competition.

So when Zeke asked the Turun family for troops and singled her out she was more than happy to go.

It was the first time in years that they had met since the trials of struggle and since Zeke had personally pointed her out Reina led the knights on an expedition with excitement although she did not show it.

But Zeke’s reaction upon their reunion was completely different from what she had expected.

Reina felt a little disappointed at Zeke’s attitude of treating her without any hesitation just like before.

That’s probably why I didn’t speak nicely to Zeke.

While Reina was running with her complicated feelings hidden Zeke was also having complicated thoughts.

The reason the Turn family participated in this expedition to the Northern Continent was none other than Arthur Draker’s instructions.

And one of those instructions was about a marriage proposal with Rayna Draker.

‘It’s Reina and I’s wedding.’

Although Zeke and Reina were cousins Reina’s mother was adopted from a collateral line and was a direct descendant so their direct relationship was quite distant.

In fact there was a time in the past when Drakers who valued pure blood encouraged incest.

In the first place marriage between cousins ​​was permitted in the Central Continent so even if they were close relatives it wasn’t really a problem.

Since Zeke and Reina were both pureblood Awakened Drakers the family actively tried to promote the marriage between the two.

Arthur tried to arrange a meeting with Reina by conveying this family opinion. However Zeke was not really interested in marriage itself.

Besides marriage he had a mountain of problems to deal with.

But since he couldn’t completely ignore Arthur Draker’s words Zeke came up with a clever idea.

It was a request to the Turun family for the troops needed for this northern expedition.

Reina the Knight of Flash was also a talent that Zeke coveted.

It was a brilliant idea that would allow her to test her skills answer Arthur’s message and also bring in the troops needed for the northern expedition.

He actively used his fame to request troops from Tourne.

He asked us to join him on a rescue expedition under the pretext of stopping monsters from invading the Northern Continent.

The fame of Zeke who had prevented the invasion of the Republic of Dorta following the Holy Nation of Baadoka was sky-high so there was no way that the Turun side would refuse the request of a knight of salvation who was going out to fight the monster army.

Rex Turn was so impressed by Zeke’s passionate fighting spirit that he sent him not only the knights but also the necessary supplies.

Zeke moved north with the Black Spirits and the Barbarian troop of Thurn while Bacchus and Carmilla went north secretly to meet separately.

‘Things have gone better than I expected. The Black Sword Knights are in a situation where they can’t move easily right now.’

The Black Sword Knights were currently stationed in ‘Heli’ a territory in Midland that was once managed by Abel after resolving the issue of the Badoka Castle.

Heli was one of the major hub cities connecting Midland and the Roman Empire.

Zeke ordered Boris and the intelligence unit to deal with the remnants of Siemens spread throughout Heli and at the same time he intentionally placed the Black Sword Knights there to block Rom’s influence.

Duke and Andrei Aul who had recently joined the Black Sword Knights were strengthening their power by forming a new order of knights.

After what happened to the Republic of Dorta Consul Julius completely turned his back on Zeke.

He was preparing to depose Abel from the throne by asserting the legitimacy of the Roman Empire’s imperial authority with the 2nd and 4th princes at the forefront.

Thanks to this Daria Calvi and the Knights of the Inmagung Palace who had been unable to change their minds also changed their minds and decided to join in the effort to reclaim Rom.

Here Kaliso who was good at riding the wave joined in and exerted his power to get the 20000 imperial soldiers who had surrendered from the Holy Land of Badoka to join Julius’ side.

Thanks to this Julius was preparing to reclaim Rome with both legitimacy and power in a fairly short period of time.

Julius also stayed in Heli and continued to exchange letters with the Imperial Army’s legion commanders from beneath the surface preparing to put pressure on Abel and Siemens.

The problem was that the Empire’s black knights had not yet responded.

The moment the black knights of the empire moved in any direction it seemed as if a civil war would begin in the Roman Empire.

Zeke who had been thinking about Heli and the Rom Empire for a moment looked up.

The destination of the Northern Continent expedition led by Zeke was not Himonas but Barkal.

Since Himonas was located at the northernmost tip of the continent the road to get there was not properly maintained.

The safest and fastest route was the road that connected Barkal to Himonas during the old Holy Empire so they were heading to Barkal first.

In addition one had to stop by Barkal to buy necessary supplies and winter gear before entering the country to survive the cold of the north.

However for Zeke who had experienced the battlefields of the Northern Continent in his previous life this was something familiar but for knights from the Central Continent the very fact that they had to take off their armor and wear winter gear was something that would be incomprehensible.

As they were running again Felix approached Zeke and spoke.

“It seems like we have arrived at Barkal my lord!”

Zeke was also looking out over the distant city of Barkal with his eyes wide open.

But then something strange caught Zeke’s eye.

‘what?’

They discovered a line of flag bearers and troops lined up in front of the city of Barkal.

Zeke checked the flags of the troops stationed in front of the city.

‘The Imperial Army’s flag and… the Knights of the Great Sea Palace.’

The Knights of the Great Sea one of the 13 legions that turned to Abel’s side suddenly appeared in Barkal.

Looking at the gates behind them which were firmly closed it seemed that the Knights of the Great Sea did not bring their troops with good intentions.

Zeke recalled that the Knights of the Sea Palace had sided with the dark schemer Azmun Barrios.

‘Did you choose Barkal as a forward base for invading the Northern Continent?’

When the monster army attacks Himonas the knights of the North have no choice but to pay attention to that side.

If the Knights of the Great Sea Palace were to take control of Barkal the key point of communication between the Central Continent and the Northern Continent the Empire would be able to gain a very advantageous position.

It becomes possible to suppress Himonas while also putting pressure on the central kingdoms and the cities of Midland.

‘That’s a plan that Azmun would come up with.’

As they approached Barkal Reina also discovered the Imperial Army camped in front of the city.

“Why are the Imperial Army in the Northern Continent…?”

Zeke stopped marching for a moment and called Reina aside to explain the situation.

“It seems like the imperial army is planning to invade Barkal.”

Reina was surprised by those words.

“You’re going to invade right away without even declaring war?”

“They are the ones who turned Rome into a sea of ​​blood and usurped the throne. What’s the point of declaring war now?”

Reina nodded as if she understood what Zeke said.

Zeke said while looking at Reina like that.

“Do you think they’ll just let us go quietly to Himonas?”

Reina shook her head.

She also knew very well that the Imperial bastards would never do that.

Then Zeke lowered his voice and spoke to Reina.

“Let’s hit those guys first.”
