Volume 3, Chapter 50 – Legendary

The walls of the camp were like they were made of paper, shattered with ease by Grinrui.

Spurring on his warg, Grinrui stepped over the rubble strewn across the ground and rode straight into the camp.

Behind Grinrui.

Packs of wolf riders were already rushing this way, then pouring in one after another through the breach Grinrui had opened.

And behind the wolf riders, thirty thousand valiant beastman warriors were following close behind.

At this time, the few soldiers of the Kingdom who had reacted first grabbed the weapons in their hands and hurried toward this side, yet in truth, now that Grinrui had led the wolf riders in, just trying to block this breach was already impossible.

So the idea that these soldiers could rush over and block the wolf riders under Grinrui was nothing but a useless struggle.

“Hmph… these few people think they can stop me? How ridiculous. Send a portion of our men to wipe them out.”

Seeing that small part of the Kingdom army who had taken up their weapons and were heading this way, Grinrui’s face was full of disdain.

With Grinrui’s order, a portion of the wolf riders behind him charged toward that Kingdom unit.

Everyone knew that under a cavalry charge, infantry had a very hard time defending.

What was more, this was a unit of infantry that had just been thrown together, a force whose command system was not coordinated at all, so they had no way of withstanding the wolf riders Grinrui sent over.

So…

With just a single clash, that unit of roughly five hundred men was blasted apart, shattered into pieces, countless soldiers turning into particles and vanishing from this world.

“Too weak.”

Faced with this sight, Grinrui could only let out a scornful cold laugh.

“The Kingdom’s army has already fallen into chaos, everyone attack as you please.”

As Grinrui’s command was issued, the wolf riders split up into small squads and began to spread out in all directions.

Yet in those directions, the Kingdom’s army had not yet had time to fully organize itself, so what awaited those soldiers was nothing but slaughter at the hands of the wolf riders.

And it was only at this moment that Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table under his command finally saw the scene of the wolf riders scattering in all directions.

With Fisiel, the Legendary-tier paladin, absent, Lancelot, whose strength was Epic, just one step beneath Legendary, and second only to Fisiel, was now the highest commander among the paladins.

Although Epic did not reach Legendary, on the battlefield, Epics were still the backbone of the army.

“Stop them. Buy time for everyone to organize and fight back.”

Seeing the wolf riders disperse, Lancelot gave this order without a second thought.

Right after, the paladins behind him also split up squad by squad, hurrying toward the directions where the wolf riders were spreading.

At this moment, Grinrui too noticed the paladins chasing after the wolf riders.

“That group again. Looks like they still haven’t realized what they are about to face…”

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Grinrui’s face. According to what he had in mind, what should come next was him personally striking and killing those scattered paladins one by one.

“All of you, disappear for me.”

Grinrui said this.

And he acted on it.

He locked his gaze on a small squad of paladins chasing a group of wolf riders, then the terrifying aura belonging to a Legendary began to spread from Grinrui’s body.

“That is… Legendary.”

The aura of a Legendary was terrifying beyond words. The instant Grinrui released his power, Lancelot, not far away, sensed it.

“This is bad, we cannot let him make a move.”

In just a brief instant, Lancelot reached his decision.

A heartbeat later, Holy Light began to envelop this paladin. Then this paladin drove his warhorse and charged toward Grinrui.

The paladins riding behind Lancelot likewise drove their warhorses without thinking, closely following after Lancelot.

“General, a squad of paladins is approaching.”

Just as Grinrui was about to unleash a charged blow to directly kill a distant squad of paladins who were closely following the wolf riders, the voice of the wolf rider captain suddenly sounded beside his ear.

“Paladins?”

Somewhat puzzled, Grinrui turned his attention to the front, and only then did he notice that there was indeed a small squad of paladins running straight toward him.

“Ridiculous. I thought it would be that Legendary. And yet just a mere Epic actually thinks he is my opponent?”

Seeing Lancelot at their head, Grinrui could not help but laugh.

“General, it is about time we let these Holy Light worshippers see how powerful we really are.”

The wolf rider captain at his side looked eager for battle.

“No need. For these few paladins, I alone am enough. You just keep that entrance firmly guarded for me, the main force has not come in yet.”

Grinrui refused the captain’s request to fight and intended to take the field himself.

At this time, Lancelot, who was drawing ever closer to Grinrui, had already clearly seen that bloodthirsty look in Grinrui’s eyes.

Lancelot knew that this beastman was a Legendary with formidable strength.

Legendary meant the peak of mortal combat power, aside from those illusory, almost impossible to encounter Thrones.

Legendary was basically just another word for the strongest.

Even though Lancelot was an Epic, the gap between Epic and Legendary was still extremely hard to cross.

Yet what if he knew that the beastman before him was Legendary?

“Paladins never know fear.”

Gripping the sword in his hand, Lancelot’s gaze became incomparably firm.

The warhorse beneath him had already reached its top speed, and at the same time, Lancelot began to pour all the power in his body into the sword in his hand.

As his warhorse galloped, the sword in Lancelot’s hand bloomed with brighter and brighter Holy Light.

“Oh… completely giving up on defense. So he is planning to stake his life.”

Watching Lancelot charge forward, Grinrui only felt it was somewhat amusing.

“Still, Epic is Epic. No matter how hard you try, you are only Epic.”

Under Grinrui’s control, the warg took one step forward, carrying Grinrui closer.

“An Epic’s life-risking strike, just how strong will it be.”

Grinrui was actually a little curious about this question.

So he stepped out alone to the very front, intending to feel Lancelot’s full power strike for himself.

Of course, Grinrui was not foolish enough to just stand there and take the hit.

While preparing to withstand Lancelot’s full power strike, he was also secretly charging up his strength, planning to kill Lancelot outright once Lancelot’s attack failed.

A few brief seconds passed, and Lancelot had already reached Grinrui.

The knight sword in his hand swung out in that instant, the brilliant Holy Light upon it like a sun rising in the sky.

Rumble rumble——

Grinrui blocked the strike, yet at the moment the weapons clashed, a deafening sound thundered across the sky.

“Uwoo uwoo——”

The warg beneath him let out a pained, overburdened scream, and at the same time, the armor Grinrui wore on his body began to crack inch by inch.

“Hmm…? Legendary?!”
