The situation on the wall changed completely as soon as Eurius went all out.

Nuada looked at the battlefield with a dumbfounded expression.

“No way, how can there be such a level of warrior in this remote place?”

What he saw was Eurius. His feats were dazzling, to say the least.

Shriek.

“Ugh.”

It was not like he was sweeping with a broom, but every time a blue sword light flashed on the wall, one of his warriors fell to the ground below.

The warriors he had sent out were the best ones he had selected from his allied tribes, but they could not even exchange a few blows with the enemy and fell screaming.

It would be hard to resolve the situation faster than that unless he stepped in himself.

‘I have to stop him.’

Nuada picked up another spear.

“Huff.”

It was different from before. His whole body muscles tightened and a groan escaped his lips. Nuada threw the spear with almost all his strength.

Kwaaaa!

It was not a simple throwing spear, but a streak of lightning that contained his mighty power and pierced the wall.

The target was none other than Eurius, who was sweeping his warriors on the wall!

‘As expected, he came?’

Eurius turned around feeling a creepy sensation and swung his sword to face the throwing spear.

Kwang!

A loud noise erupted and this time Eurius was pushed back.

He grumbled and shook his hand holding the sword.

‘He still has a brute force that can crush enemies.’

He did not block it head-on, but just slightly twisted the trajectory, yet his hand felt numb from throwing off the spear.

‘If I had not mastered Force Blast, it could have been dangerous.’

Nuada’s secret technique was Destruction!

His pure white force turned into light and became lightning that destroyed everything in its path.

On the other hand, Eurius’s secret technique was suitable for a superhuman, but it was invisible, which was a big advantage.

Compared to Nuada’s secret technique that focused on destruction, his power was lower.

In a one-on-one confrontation, he naturally lost in compatibility, but Blast somewhat compensated for that disadvantage.

It increased the output momentarily, giving him enough destructive power to deflect Nuada’s full-powered attack.

‘Look at this?’

Nuada’s veins bulged on his head.

He had never seen a warrior who could withstand his attack since he reached this level. His pride was hurt.

“Bring me more spears!”

The battlefield was already nothing but a contest of strength between the two.

Kwaaaa!

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Eurius also took a defensive stance again.

Kwang!

Even after that, Nuada continued to aim for Eurius with his full-powered spear throws, and he blocked those attacks.

The standoff at this distance lasted for more than ten minutes.

Of course, Eurius did not forget to support the knights whenever he had a chance while fending off the spears.

Puck!

“Kraaak!”

Nuada bit his tongue when he saw another warrior fall outside the wall.

“Tsk!”

He had never met a worthy opponent in his life, and the blood that rushed to his head cooled down for a moment. He had no choice but to make a decision.

“Retreat!”

He finally chose to back off. The reason he came to the rear was to avoid a frontal battle with the foreigners. It would be counterproductive if his tribe suffered a great loss here.“There’s no need to chase them!”

Eurius also generously allowed them to take away their wounded, since his goal was not their annihilation.

He climbed up to the wall tower and silently stared at Nuada.

‘We finally met again.’

Eurius smiled slightly, and Nuada felt like he was mocking him. He glared at him with an unhappy expression.

“Check the damage!”

Nuada thought that checking the damage of the warriors was the most important thing for now.

The ordinary tribesmen were also important, but in order to survive in the deep mountains, the outstanding warriors should not die here.

And he was slightly surprised.

“The damage is less than expected?”

The enemy was a formidable elite. And they had a powerful warrior of the same level as him. Yet, there were not many warriors who died.

‘What are they aiming for?’

Especially, most of the warriors who were thrown out of the wall by Eurius did not die.

Except for those who were unlucky enough to break their necks at the landing point, there were not many who suffered serious injuries.

Eurius’s side also had little damage.

“It’s thanks to His Highness’s prowess.”

“I didn’t expect them to have such a strong warrior.”

The knights of the north, including Linfield, looked at Eurius with a faint admiration in their eyes.

‘I knew he was hiding some of his skills, but I didn’t know he was this good.’

They also saw a lot of things from him while spending more than a year with him.

“Your strategy is as brilliant as your strength!”

“You are a person who excels in both military command and personal power!”

On the other hand, Eurius did not show any pride and just thought quietly.

‘It’s a golden opportunity, but I’m bothered by the fact that our first encounter with them was a battle.’

Once they met as enemies, even though he spared some of them, they would not be unharmed on their side.

‘Nuada is a wise ruler. He will understand if I explain well.’

Eurius finished his thoughts and looked around the knights.

“I have a personal favor to ask you!”

“A favor?”

The emperor was their superior.

They had to obey his orders naturally, but why did he emphasize it as a favor?

“I’m going to follow them and enter the northern mountains from now on! I hope you can come with me.”

‘Will they follow me?’

Eurius was not sure. The order from Duke Anderson was to guard the rear.

No matter how he was the emperor, it was an act of disobeying the order of the commander-in-chief of the north!

But he had to use the word ‘favor’ because it was something he had to do even if the knights opposed it.

‘I met Nuada by chance. I have to capture him here!’

“Pfft!”

But the knights laughed softly. Was his favor too ridiculous?

“Hmm?”

“Your Majesty!”

Seeing Eurius’s puzzled look, Linfield spoke as a representative.

“You don’t have to say it as a favor. Don’t you all agree?”

“Of course!”

The knights shouted out loud.

“We are already your loyal knights.”

“Whatever you do, it must be necessary!”

They had already been through many battles with Eurius for more than a year.

‘He personally bandaged me when I was injured as a mere knight!’‘If he hadn’t saved me in the battle, I would have been killed by the barbarians.’

Linfield continued.

“You are no different from our lord. Just give us your order!”

‘The past year of wandering around looking for Nuada was not meaningless.’

Eurius also looked at the knights with a nostalgic expression.

He earned these loyal knights with his pure ability, not because he was the emperor in the north.

“If you say so, I’ll give you an order!”

Eurius raised his sword with a determined expression.

“We will chase those immigrants and enter the mountain range. It will probably be a dangerous mission, so be prepared!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Oh! By the way, I won’t tell you the purpose until we get there. It will be a surprise gift when you find out!”

“Hahaha!!”

The knights burst into laughter at Eurius’s joke that broke the tense atmosphere.

But at this moment, they all looked at him with a solid trust.

“What should we do now?”

In Nuada’s tent where he retreated, there was also a meeting with the chiefs of the tribes who followed him.

“It seems impossible to break through their defense line.”

It was Nuada’s honest assessment.

The number of elite warriors was almost equal. The problem was that it would be possible to fight them on the plain, but they had a wall on their side. And above all, the problem was…

“I’m not sure, but it seems like there is someone of the great warrior level on their side.”

“Really?”

The faces of the other chiefs turned pale. The reason they followed Nuada was that he was surprisingly wise for his young age, but the decisive reason was his overwhelming power.

“Is it possible that their leader is there?”

Nuada shook his head. He had heard the rumors about the superhuman Count Anderson, who had a reputation of a devil against the northern immigrants.

But the Eurius he saw today looked even younger than himself, a blue-eyed boy.

“But it’s clear that there’s no use in attacking them like this!’

“Then what should we do? We have to follow Gundar’s words for now.’

Nuada shook his head again.

“There’s no need for that. Let’s just go into the mountains and watch the situation for a while.’

“But what if?’

“There are two super warriors on the foreigner’s side! Do you think Gundar, who claims to be the chief, can handle them both at once?’

“That’s true.’

The old chief who spoke also shivered.

He had spent his whole life in the mountains and met many beasts, but the fight between the super warriors he saw today was beyond his imagination.

The word that describes superhumans in the continent is literally a one-man army!

Nuada’s argument was reasonable.

‘I’m worried about the mysterious force behind Gundar, though.’

Nuada decided to think carefully about that part.

Anyway, he thought that unless Gundar brought in some new super warrior forces, there was no way to deal with the foreigners under the mountains.

‘I’ll intervene when they clash and suffer losses. It won’t be too late then.’

He was also an ambitious man who didn’t want to be a loser in the north. He thought that Gundar was not fit to be a chief, not only because of his dubious background, but also because of his lack of skill.

‘Let’s go back quickly since we’ve made a decision.’

They were familiar with the terrain of this mountain more than anyone else. They quickly dismantled their tents and started to return to their nest deep in the mountains.

‘Huh? This is not right.’

Eurius heard that the barbarians were retreating quickly and immediately prepared to send out his troops.

‘We have to chase them fast. If we lose them once, it will be hard to track them down without an accurate map of the mountains.’

He knew that Nuada was a man with a strong pride.

He wanted to fight him a few more times and offer him an alliance, but unexpectedly they decided to retreat.

‘Well, he was a quick-witted man among the immigrants in my previous life.’

Eurius had to catch up with the retreating immigrants.

The retreating Nuada’s tribal alliance and Eurius’s special unit! The chase for contact began.
