Chapter 147 Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 147 Aegis, the shield of the gods. It truly should be as invincible as its name suggests. Well make it so. Dont worry, Father. Logan tried to reassure his father with a confident smile, yet Patricks expression remained somber. Its not just you and Ronian, but your fiance and that Victor fellow too. All of you are too talented to die here. If it comes to the worst, at least you must There will be no worst scenario, Father. Interrupted by Logans assertive face, Patrick forced a smile as well. Indeed, that would be for the best. We have a fortress built to make the most of the weapons we have. It was hastily erected through significant outlay of our funds. Yes, Ive heard about the unforgiving work schedule. Your notoriety precedes you. Its a necessity Relax, Im kidding. Logan thought it was a terrible joke but chose not to voice his criticism. The best efforts had been made, yet victory was not guaranteed in this crisis. Affirmations were sparse in such trying situations. At any rate, the role of the knights is as crucial as the fortress itself. We must deal with any who manage to scale the walls as securely as possible. And should a Superhuman intervene, do as Ive instructed Yes, Ill bear it in mind. Theres no need to keep repeating yourself. But do you truly think you can achieve this? I can. Have I ever assured you of something I couldnt deliver? Besides, Ive already shown you proof. Ah, yes. You did. Patricks mood lightened as he remembered that thing Logan had shown a few days earlier. He formed a self-deprecating smile upon sensing his own change of heart. Have I grown old? Why am I plagued with anxiety? He tried to inject confidence with a forced smile then a familiar voice chimed in. Even when that thing isnt present, Young lord Logan has withstood several attacks from a Superhuman. Have faith in him, Lord. Mlady Oh, Lady Eileen. Cough. Feel free to address me in whatever manner is comfortable for you, Lord. Patrick once again felt reassured, his spirit buoyed by the sight of Eileen in her striking armor, gleaming with an unusual blue glow, her sword no less exceptional. I cant show weakness in front of my daughter-in-law. Yes, I must live at least until I see my grandchild. His smile softened, banishing the creeping anxiety. Of course, had Logan or Eileen known his inner thoughts, they would have frowned with worry. Yes, even in the worst-case scenario, as long as these children are saved Then, another who shared Patricks sentiments joined the conversation. Sister-in-law, how can you not be concerned? Brother, are you truly going to be alright confronting a Superhuman alone? Ronians expression was not bright. He understood Eileens exuberance, given she had been taught the Divine Blade Vision Forescore and obtained the Class 4 Artifact named Frigus. However, he was concerned her newfound confidence could be excessive. Logan patted his younger brothers shoulder. Trust me, brother. Unless Juan Douglas or Duke Yordan intervene directly, I can manage to hold out. Or even if he couldnt, he would find a way to endure. And we have Lord Clayton. As if aware of the conversation about him, the imposing middle-aged mage Clayton met Logans gaze and nodded from afar. His expression betrayed his tension, yet it was understandable. Essentially, the fate of this defensive battle hinged on Logan and him, as they were the key to withstanding the attack of the Superhumans. With that thought, Logans face hardened. Then, a sudden cry broke out from outside. Enemy spotted!! * * * McLaine Castle is No, thats not McLaine Castle. A different fortress is in sight! The 1st Princes factions command reacted quickly to the scouts report. A fortress without a gate Its a makeshift stronghold. Its scale is enormous, but it seems to have been built just recently. Wicken Callian relayed his observation to Juan Douglas at his right, taking a closer look at the distant fortress in the making. As a Superhuman with attribute specialization rather than physical prowess, it was only natural for him, an aura user, to rely on his sharper vision compared to that of Douglas, a magician. But Juans attitude towards Wicken had been somewhat dismissive since the Battle of Harun Castle, his expression still ambiguous. Who is? Given the militias nature comprised mainly of men in their prime, attention didnt break away from the female knight for long. Despite the pressuring aura from the knights keeping them in check, conversation flowed effortlessly behind, aggravating Eileen as she overheard. Still Although well-known within McLaine Castle and the town, to the assembled militia from other towns, Eileen was an exotic sight. A woman in the ranks of the knights, who also held the unprecedented position of being the young lords fiance. Her place within the McLaine Knights was indeed peculiar. She was the orders junior, yet held a position not even the Knight Commander or the lord could easily address. Thankfully, she never sought special treatment, training harder than anyone, proving her worth in war. And now: Shes the future Lady of the house! Any disrespectful words heard will not be forgiven! Her fellow knights declaration raised Eileens standing among the militia. Logans betrothed? Ah, we meant no disrespect. Men, lets fight with vigor to protect our future lady! While the reactions were for the name of McLaine and Logan rather than her, Eileen was not displeased. Only the fact that she was more often referred to as the prospective lady rather than a knight somewhat troubled her. Content that discussions about her were easing the battlefields tension, she saw no reason to object. She was one of the three youngest high-grade members of the McLaine Knights, a senior knight capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Commander. And she was currently responsible for the northern walls defense of the Aegis Fortress. You all must protect her Henderson, just let them be. Yes? But Theyll loosen up if they talk about me, so its fine. Her earnest eyes conveyed the truth, and Henderson could only nod in agreement. Yes, understood. And I should apologize to you in advance. Yes? I might have to go to the eastern wall if things get bad. Just think youre in command from the start. An irresponsible confession of intent to disobey orders. Yet the large knight just grinned and thumped his chest in affirmation. Of course, you should. Dont worry, Lady Eileen. Their gazes collectively shifted towards the eastern wall. The red-haired youth there, known to be the strongest among them, was about to face enemies that werent to be taken lightly, even by him. Though she encouraged the others to have faith in Logan, deep down, Eileen harbored the most anxiety. If it happens again like last time She vividly remembered Logan coughing up blood and collapsing during the previous battle. That feeling of helplessness was something she never wanted to experience again. If a similar event were to occur, she wouldnt merely watch. Even with her inadequacies, her sword Frigus could carve a momentary respite for him. This time, Ill protect him, no matter what! The hilt of Frigus, which should transmit a cool sensation, grew hot in her grip. Advance! Charge!!!! The sight of over 40,000 soldiers surging towards the fortress was intimidating enough to make any heart skip a beat. But as Logan stood atop the walls, his bearing steady, his heart never wavered. From the outside, our forces may not seem considerable, but nearly ten thousand stood by, ready for combat. Prepare to fire! Ready! Fire! At that command, soldiers pulled triggers in unison, and mages launched golems hurling searing boulders into the fray. The war that would decide McLaines destiny had truly begun.
