164 Chapter 5 Episode 22 [Two-headed Snake Poison Fang] Part 8




 A metallic sound that resounded with a wild roar.
 The sound of fierce sword fights resounded on the battlefield, yet the full-bodied blow from Roberto's arms reached the ears of the soldiers loud and clear.
 The war axe was wielded with unnoticeable speed.
 Doyle's body flew in the air like a feather. Yes, just like a human being hit from the front by a truck.
I'm sure it's the kind of impact that would normally result in instant death, even though I've strengthened my body with martial arts. Even if you avoided instant death, the bones in your body would be shattered and you wouldn't be able to move by yourself. And that's the same as being a dead man on the battlefield.
 Unless Doyle is a warrior of great prominence who resounds among generals and neighboring countries, there is no need to relentlessly stab him in the back if he is just a common knight. 
 If it was an ordinary Roberto, he would have ignored Doyle lying on the earth and looked for other prey.
 However, contrary to such battlefield conventions, Roberto raised his battle axe again with a devilish grin on his face, and furiously ran his horse.
 He probably intends to ensure that he kills Doyle, who has made himself difficult to deal with.
 However, one of the knights in black armor intervened between Doyle and Roberto.

''Hey! Someone get Captain Doyle to the back of the line and treat him while he's still alive! And go get reinforcements. Don't let this guy get away!

 A cry resembling a wounded beast was released from the Black Knight's mouth.
 He desperately fought against Roberto's blow while his whole body trembled. 

''Hey! What in the world is going on here? Two people are going to be able to catch my blow? And this time he prevented it completely.

 The words, which seem to be a mixture of confusion and surprise, spill from Roberto's lips.
 I'd like to think it's a dreamlike vision of sorts, but unfortunately the scene in front of me is real.
 It leaves a big scar on the confidence Roberto has cultivated until now.
(Unconsciously held back? No way but if that's the case, how could they have prevented me from striking a blow? (He seems to be able to use martial arts, but that doesn't explain it.
 Even against commoners who cannot use martial arts, let alone knights and mercenaries of previous wars, Roberto can only remember having his battle axe blocked on countless occasions.
 It's a good thing that the second blow of the blade is usually enough to return it.
 The military strength he has cultivated. The pride of a human being with an overwhelming power far beyond the realm of man.
 It was a moment when the important elements that make up the man known as Robert Beltran were slightly shaken.
 And it created an opening that he would never have shown in his normal life.
 Suddenly Roberto's body sank. And in the next moment, his body fell forward and was thrown directly into the air.
(Shit! (I was caught off guard)
 Through a gap in Roberto's mind, the enemy had mowed down his horse's front legs.
 In an instant, Roberto grasped his situation as he flew through the air. Then he thrust the hilt of his battle-axe into the earth and used it as a staff, and dexterously adjusted his stance to land on the ground.
 It's not a good idea to get a good idea of what's going on.
(Good grief........this one is tricky.)
 When I checked the situation around me again, I saw that I was surrounded by only enemy soldiers.
 The subordinates who were supposed to be following behind me had been separated from Roberto before I knew it.
(It's a sharp thrust that precisely aims at a gap in the armor.......it ranks high among our knights.......)
 While quickly dodging the spears thrust out from the left and right, Roberto cleaved the battleaxe horizontally. 
 Red sparks scattered on the battlefield with the sound of violent metal clashing.
(You jumped backwards to absorb the impact... d*mn. (They're all pretty good at this.)
 This time, a spear is silently thrust out to Roberto's back.
(Oops........watch out. You have to be careful behind your back too.
 Roberto, following his wild instincts, ducked down and felt the cold sweat slide down his back.
 There were a total of five black knights surrounding Roberto.
 Although they were all quite skilled, they were a notch or two below Roberto in terms of warrior prowess.
 Considering that Roberto could even use Vishuddha Chakra, Roberto's victory was unassailable at first.
 However, that's only in a one-on-one match format, or in a situation where he can let his subordinates take over the rear.
 No matter how strong Roberto was, it was quite dangerous for him to take on five skilled fighters by himself. Moreover, right now he has been taken in by the enemy army.
 Even if he killed these five men, if he couldn't break through the enclosure, the only path left for Roberto was death.
(Did I underestimate him too much.......this guy finally has to prepare himself? 
 Roberto's basic method of warfare is to cut into the enemy's lines by himself, and from there, open a hole in the front line to take the initiative.
 It's not a tactical strategy, and the style in which the general uses his own military strength to cut in is highly risky and causes others to insult him as a boar, but at the same time, there is no tactic that uses Roberto's military strength as efficiently as this one.
 In fact, they had won a series of battles in the past, so it would be inevitable if Roberto thought he could get the same warfare this time around.
 But this time, it backfired.
 Although I was aware that this was a somewhat formidable opponent, I never dreamed that the quality of each knight would be so high.
It's hard to get through this enclosure on my own, but if I can manage to join up with that guy from Cygnis, it's possible to turn the tide.
 The enemy soldiers slowly narrowed the circle of encirclement. While dodging the spears thrust out from them, Roberto quietly waited for the moment of opportunity to arrive.

 How much time had passed?
 Whether it was a few minutes or a few dozen minutes, Roberto couldn't tell right now.
 Rough breathing and copious amounts of sweat. The reddish-black blood stuck to his beloved battle axe and armor.
 The result of just desperately wielding the battle axe continuously on instinct is stuck in his body.

''Roberto, are you okay!

 Suddenly, the corner of the siege is disturbed and a horse-riding Signis appears, screaming.
 You can also find pieces of human flesh stuck to the iron club in his hand and the helmet he was wearing has come off.

''I'm here, Signis!

 Roberto shouted his place with all his might.

You're safe ... you can go on foot. We'll run through at once like this!

All right. Don't worry about me!

 In an instant, Signis understood Roberto's situation, and without stopping his horse, Signis cut toward the enemy soldiers again.
 He understands that if he kills the horse's momentum, even for a moment, he will be captured by the siege net in the blink of an eye.

 Eventually, when Roberto and Signis had succeeded in shedding the black wave, the bell of retreat was rung by both camps.
