Doctor Player - Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Crack

And.

“Huh?”

Elmud arrived where Seytil was.

Seytil was fighting a bloodbath with a monster wet with blood. He fell completely into the trap he sold.

Seytil thought, breathing heavily.

‘Ahh, shit. When is Raymond coming?!’

No, Raymond was no longer the problem.

If things continue like this, he is going to lose his life to the monsters.

‘Why aren’t my men coming? Man! You idiots!’ 

There was a reason for that.

This is because in order to secretly kill Raymond, he had told the knights leading the soldiers not to approach the area.

So Seytil’s men were completely unaware that he was in this predicament.

Then, an eerie cry rang out.

It was Chabelle Wolf!

A wolf-type monster with long teeth like a blade.

It is an individual entity that is not as powerful as a D-class, but the problem is when it starts to form in groups.

The exhausted Seytil didn’t have the strength to deal with them.

‘Oh, no.’

At that time, Elmud caught his eyes.

Seytil seemed to have found light in despair. Now he’s bought it!

“Eh, Elmud? Come and save me right now! Hurry!”

However, Elmud responded unexpectedly.

“Apologize before that.”

“……What?”

“The one wherein you insulted Mr. Raymond.”

Excessive loyalty!

Seytil had a choking face.

“What is that……! Shut up for now and save me quickly!”

“Apologize, and swear to the sword that you will never insult Mr. Raymond again. That comes first.”

“Oh my god! You punk!”

Seytil looked like he had eaten a million sweet potatoes.

“Cringe!”

Then at the same time, the Chabelle Wolf jumped in.

Seytil hurriedly stopped the wolf from attacking.”Hurry up and save me!”

“Apologize and swear!”

“This idiot!”

The iron wall of Elmud’s sweet potato work drove Seytil crazy and felt like he was going to do something.

“Yes, I apologize! I was sorry!”

“I can’t feel your sincerity. Please apologize more truthfully!”

“Argh!”

The wolves’ attacks intensified.

“I’m sorry! I’m serious!”

“Please be more specific.”

“Ah! You punk!”

‘I’ve never been so frustrated in my life!’

Seytil, who felt threatened with his life, eventually spoke in a hurry.

“I’m really sorry, I’ll kneel down and apologize for saying that I won’t leave him alone to eventually kill him. I won’t do it again! I swear!”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I mean it. I mean it. I’ll never touch Raymond again! Help me!” 

Elmud pulled out his sword.

“I don’t like it, but…… But you are also a patient, and I will protect you at the command of my Lord. I am a proud relief knight who protects the patients.”

For your information, Elmud was proud of his position as a relief knight. It’s a position given by his Lord!

Faaah!

Elmud’s sword swept through the hall, and the D-class monsters, Chabelle Wolffs, could not hold on and disappeared.

Looking at Seytil, he had already passed out due to excessive bleeding.

Elmud returned with Seytil, and as soon as he came to his senses, Seytil left the castle.

“He left? Right away?”

“Yes.”

“…I heard he hurt his arm. I think there will be some aftereffects if it’s not treated properly.”

Raymond shook his head. It was for Seytil to take care of himself.

Elmood said with a happy face.

“His Highness Seytil had something to say.”

“What?”

“He sincerely apologize for his past mistakes, and that he will never do anything wrong to the master again.”

“…….”

Raymond made a strange face.

“Your Royal Highness really said that?”

“Yes.”

‘……What the hell happened?’

In any case, his thoughts about Seytil were soon erased from his head.

The incredibly shocking news hit the castle.

“It’s a big deal, Baron!”

It was Sir Ingel.

His face was white.

When Raymond realized something unusual had happened, his heart sank.

“What’s going on?”

“Our forces in the center have suffered a crushing defeat!”

“……”What?”

Sir Ingel cried out.

“His Royal Highnesses have been caught in the Marquis’ schemes. Confirmed deaths alone are more than 20,000! The entire front-line have collapsed! We must retreat too!”

***

A crushing defeat of our troops!

That was incredible news!

This was the whole story of the incident.

Lemarton and the foreign reinforcements who had gone ahead continued to charge in the center.

Lemarton was greatly encouraged by the repeated wins.

He thought he was on a roll against the kingdom of Deoughton thanks to his outstanding strategic ability.

‘I knew it. Even Durak is no match for me, a genius. Now you’ll all realize who’s a true genius.’ 

As time went by, he became arrogant and lost his guard.

He didn’t know that all those victories were Durak’s schemes.

Lemarton and the soldiers from the other countries reached the heart of the Kingdom of Droughton, the Plains of Nellsha.

“Your Highness, why don’t we stop the march for a moment and join the follow-up troops?” said the Duke of Born of Macy Kingdom.

They marched so quickly that the ensuing Houston Kingdom army and allied forces stretched long from north to south longitudinally.

If they were to be attacked from the side, they may suffer great loss. First of all, it was necessary to organize the battle line.

‘There’s nothing I can do. It’s the virtue of a wise monarch to take advice.’

Lemarton nodded.

The tributary of the river also flows next to it, making it a suitable place to stay.

After that, the soldiers that followed arrived one after another in the plain of Nelsha.

When the number of soldiers gathered on the plain of Nelsha approached 20,000, an unimaginable disaster occurred.

A torrent like a tsunami came down.

It was a water attack.

***

Marquis Durak had a craftsmanship in mind from the beginning.

This is because it was judged that there was no hope of defeating the highly morale Houston Kingdom army with regular attack methods.

‘There is only one way to turn the battlefield around. You have to do great damage to your enemies through chemical work or hand-work.’ 

Among them, hand-work was the choice.

This was because it was a rainy season, and the central region of the Kingdom of Droughton had many tributaries extending from the Peter River, making it suitable for hadcrafting.

A bank was built to block the flow of tributaries, and a huge amount of water could be trapped thanks to the timely rain.

Later, the enemy was lured to the Nelsha estate, located downstream of the bank.

It was easy to attract the leader because he was an arrogant, smart-ass Lemarton.

And the result was as follows.

Annihilation.

None of the Houston Kingdom troops and other allied forces that arrived on the plains of Nelsha survived.

Lemarton and other top commanders managed to survive with the help of superior knights, but that was all. All others died.

Only Prince Enrique’s Clever kingdom army was safe among the allied countries since he was cautious.

‘No matter how much it was for the sake of victory, I committed a great sin. I can’t believe I took so many lives.’

Durak closed his eyes tightly as he looked at the flooded Nelsha Plain.

‘Although I’ve fought many wars, I have never seen a hell as terrible as the sight before my eyes.’

‘I’m sure I’m going to hell.’

I lamented, but I couldn’t help it.

He had to win. Even if he went to hell, he couldn’t stop.

“Start the second stage of the operation.”

“Yes, sir!”

The second step.

It is to surprise and wipe out the Houston Kingdom Army, which has been in chaos due to the annihilation of the leaders,

As many as 20,000 troops have been buried.

There was no way that they could respond properly to the surprise attack in such a chaotic situation.

“Retreat! Retreat and reorganize our troops!”

But Durack did not let the Houston Kingdom forces retreat.

He ambushed their troops in advance on every point of retreat.

The Kingdom of Houston collapsed completely, followed by a one-sided slaughter.

Another problem was that they were too deep into the enemy territory.

No matter how far they retreated, it was enemy territory, and enemy soldiers came out endlessly.

The Marquis Durak tenaciously sent pursuit troops as if he would not let a single member of the Kingdom of Houston survive.

It was a hopeless situation.

At that time, it was the Duke Raif who prevented the entire army from being exterminated.

He stayed behind and cut off the enemy’s pursuit.

“Your Excellency, no! You must retreat!”

His men were dissuaded, but the Duke RAif shook his head with a stiff face.

“I will stay and stop the enemies. You must save one more soldier and retreat to the Kingdom of Houston.”

“No!”

“Come on!”

The Duke Raif  bit his lips and looked up at the sky. How hard he bit, blood trickled out of his lips.

‘This is the last place I’ll be.’

There was a reason why he risked death and took charge of the rear.

All defeat is his responsibility as commander-in-chief.

He had to do his last job as commander-in-chief.

Just in time, a cloud of dust rose up in front of him.

Lord Alfonso.

The Sword Master of the Droughton Kingdom is leading the knights.

Their armor was covered with blood that appeared to belong to the Kingdom of Houston.

Duke Raif was prepared for death.

‘It was a life with no regrets. There’s only one thing left to be desired.’ 

Raymond.

It was a pity that he could not see his future to grow bigger than anyone else.

The failure to make him a disciple remains an unfulfilled regret.

‘If…… If only I could survive here.’

At that time, he wanted to dedicate his life to the great genius by generously teaching him.

Of course, it was a wish that could not be achieved.

“Come on.”

A murky oar gushed from the sword, and against the Kingdom of Droughton, the Duke Raif engaged in a fierce battle.

***

“……”

“That’s what happened. There were 20,000 soldiers buried from the water attack. The number of soldiers who died in the subsequent attck is expected to exceed 10,000. There are countless people who are scattered without their whereabouts known. Only 10,000 people were able to retreat while preserving their strength.”

Raymond swallowed his saliva.

It was a terrible disaster.

“If it wasn’t for Duke Raif, they would have been all wiped out.”

“Is Duke Raif dead?”

“It’s not confirmed, but I think there’s a high probability that he’s been killed.” 

Raymond has been dim-witted.

It was the worst.

‘This war…… we lost. There’s no turning back.’

It is said that the entire central region has already fallen back into the hands of the Kingdom of Droughton.

The surviving Houstonian army retreated to its former front, the Rafald, but there was no way it could be saved. ‘The Rafald is not the problem. The Marquis Durak will advance beyond the Rafalf and into the Houston kingdom.’ 

Raymond’s eyes turned dark.

It was a defeat.

‘I never thought I’d lose.’

“It’s not the time to do this. We need to retreat immediately.”

Raymond came to his senses.

They were now in isolation as other allies were wiped out.

We must retreat immediately.

“But is there a way to retreat? I think the retreat is already blocked.”

“If you go to the east coast from here, you will find the Kingdom of Peninsula. You can use that fleet to retreat.” 

Raymond swept his chest.

Fortunately, there was an opening to survive.

‘No, it’s not a relief. We lost the war.’ 

Countless people died.

Raymond, who had been in mourning with the soldiers as healers, could not take their deaths lightly.

‘My heart felt heavy as if a stone had been placed on it.’

Also, there was a practical problem.

‘……Since we lost, all our territory will be gone.”

The estate he decided to receive was based on the premise of a victory.

And since they lost, all the territory and reward money were all in vain.

‘No! Then I’m broke!’

Raymond screamed inside.

He lavished his money on the yolk land, and he was now in astronomical debt thanks to it.

‘If I went back empty-handed, I would be in trouble.;

‘What am I going to do with my now accumulated debt?’

Even in this situation, one may wonder if one is thinking of money again, but it was inevitable because it was in a situation of bankruptcy.

Anyone would worry the same thing if it was his situation.

‘Is there any other way?’

But he shook his head.

‘Well, there can’t be any way. I should be grateful that I am still alive.’ 

‘How did it happen?’ It was the moment Raymond fought back tears and prepared to retreat.

An unexpected person caught him.

“Are you going back to the Kingdom of Houston?”

It was Lord Nekels, a knight serving the young king of Droughton!

He was waiting for Raymond’s help without going back.

“Please save our King His Royal Highness!”

Sir Nekels knelt earnestly, but Raymond shook his head.

Unfortunately, he is not in a position to help.

But Lord Nekels brought up this story.

“We, the Kingdom of Droughton, do not forget grace. If you will spare His Royal Highness, I will make any case!”

“Even if it’s a case…….”

It was a car that was about to react with skepticism.

Raymond had a flash in his head.

‘Wait. This is his chance. His last chance to win.’

He gulped down his saliva.

‘Let’s save the king and drive out Grand Duke Berard!’
