Swordmaster's Youngest Son

Chapter 711

c711

at that moment, when jin and dyfus teleported away from the battlefield, the remaining companions at the center of rikalton were rescuing the prisoners.

"ahh!"

"thank you, thank you!"

cries and sobs echoed along with words of gratitude.

for each fruit that was plucked, approximately 50 people were saved.

although most of the fallen fruits on the ground only contained about 30% of surviving prisoners, there were still a considerable number of fruits trapped that showed no response even when peeled.

"i am alisa badger, commander of tikan's defense forces. head towards the direction where you see the light."

"i am gilly mcrolan, a member of the vamel alliance. go towards the direction where you see the light. those who can't move will need your direct help. it will be difficult, but please, move calmly."

"hello! i’m nodaav sargent. is any member of our fan club here? oh, now’s not the time for that. go there, over there. we came to rescue you!"

"i’m the leader of the ghost mercenaries. do you see the blue light over there? find a way to get there. our magicians and knights will protect you once you reach that place..."

hell was here.

with such thoughts in mind, jin's comrades ran tirelessly.

there were already hundreds of fallen fruits on the ground, and the trees near the castle continued to drop more.

the blue light gathering the prisoners was the colossal record magic window opened by valeria.

she, along with qwaul, enya, and hedo, was tasked with protecting the gathered prisoners and collecting information instead of directly participating in the rescue.

"valeria, as soon as the signal flare was fired, jin's energy suddenly disappeared. does anything appear in the record magic window?"

"she's focused, so she can't answer! wait a moment, let me read the record magic window and find out."

as hedo relayed the message, qwaul examined the record magic window.

as he said, valeria was in a state where she couldn’t hear anyone's voice while extracting records from the entire battlefield.

"i found it. through the power of dyfus runkandel and the authority of the evil god, jin has been transported to... hmm, the name of the area he’s been transported to hasn't appeared yet. the letters are trying to form faintly, and it’s likely they will appear in the window over time."

hedo felt a little uneasy about jin leaving the battlefield, but he wasn’t too worried.

unless the evil god himself moved, there shouldn't be any entity in huphester capable of killing him.

'the zipple and kinzelo fleets are delayed. that means they are also facing the forces of the evil god, including superhuman-class powers... it's unlikely that jin can handle all of them. is the fourth flagbearer drawing him into a one-on-one combat?'

more than a hundred prisoners had already reached the record magic window, and many more were crossing the distant field.

[it seems things are going too well, hedo. the chaos army doesn't seem as formidable as expected], quikantel said as she carefully placed a fruit on the ground.

"saying that could cause problems, miss quikantel. like now..."

hedo unsheathed his sword as he spoke.

what he was seeing was the main gate of rikalton castle.

a woman dressed in black robes was emerging from there.

the prophet, ilina runcandel.

hedo immediately extended his sword's energy in her direction, but ilina dissipated like mist and reformed, shaking off her clothes.

hedo shrugged as if he expected it and lit a cigarette.

"miss quikantel, please bring yulian and the leader of the black king mercenaries."

quikantel quickly found them, as they were already on the battlefield.

[yulian, you’ll be excluded from the ground prisoner rescue from now on. instead, move with the leader of the black king mercenaries and collect the fruits attached to the giant beings.]

yulian dropped the fruits attached to the giant beings using his bow, and valkas moved them near the record magic window.

hedo planned to rescue the prisoners attached to the giant beings that way, using yulian's aim and valkas's strength.

"leader of the black king mercenaries, you don’t need to bring the fruits perfectly here. if you throw them from a considerable distance, i’ll catch them all. also, they don’t need to be too precise. even if you throw them slightly far from me, i can use sword wind to catch them."

"understood."

valkas momentarily doubted it was possible, but considering hedo's incredible power, he nodded.

[valkas will have it especially tough. while securing the fruits from the giant beings, he also needs to pay attention to protecting our allies.]

except for hedo, who was an extraordinary being, valkas was the only 10-star in the group, so he also had to take on an important role in protecting his allies.

"of course, but it won’t be too difficult for the leader of the black king mercenaries. because..."

woosh!

suddenly, hedo stepped forward and swung his sword through the air.

the shining sword struck the wrist of the giant being that originally aimed at mesa milcano, making it miss its strike and stagger backward.

"that’s why i’ll cover the entire battlefield while protecting our allies right here."

hedo couldn’t leave this place.

once he moved, the lives of the gathered prisoners would be lost.

furthermore, if the rescued lost their gathering point, it would create chaos in valeria and qwaul’s analysis.

[it’s true that you’re a monster, hedo. i suspected something when you immediately came up with an answer, but you’re simply unstoppable.]

while his comrades marveled, hedo felt remorse.

he thought that if he had faced dyfus and jin had been here, the prophet wouldn’t have been able to carry out such a scheme.

they must have calculated those factors from the beginning and diverted jin.

there were a total of eight giant beings.

hedo didn’t miss a single one of their movements.

"being unstoppable has its limits, as it's pure power. there will come a time when i reach my limit. until then, we must hold out as long as possible while rescuing as many prisoners as we can until our allies arrive. we also need someone to infiltrate rikalton castle. i think mary runcandel, the seventh flagbearer, is suitable for that."

[i will relay the message.]

"miss enya, from now on, focus only on the rear guard. i feel i won’t be able to pay attention to the rear at all."

"don’t worry, hedo-nim!"

as hedo provided long-range support several more times, his comrades could once again focus on rescuing the prisoners.

hedo's sword aura continued to extend like a bright thread between rikalton castle and the gathering point.
