I was Sold at the Lowest Price in My Class, However My Personal Parameter is the Most Powerful

Chapter 504: Surprise / Yuki

Sorry it took so long but we’re back to regular releases. The schedule will be 5 chapters/week Monday-Friday.

It took a little time, but we succeeded in destroying about 80% of the cannon gates.

This was one step closer to capturing the Manoni fortress. However, our relief was short-lived, as we received an urgent message from Horostoi, who had been entrusted with the task of taking care of the fortress.

“What is it?”

“The main squadron has been attacked by the enemy! The vanguard magicraft battalion has been destroyed, and the main division has sustained heavy damage!”

No way…….I went out to a good vantage point and looked down and sure enough, a large scale battle was taking place. Even from here, the intermittent explosions and chaos were evident.

“We need to go back now. If we don’t, things will get worse…….”

Everyone in the detachment agrees to return as soon as possible. It’s not that I don’t trust Horostoi to stay, but he seems to be in over his head.

However, although we want to hurry back, there is no way that the enemy troops around the cannons will leave us alone. Besides, it is more difficult to climb down a cliff than to climb up it, and it seems quite dangerous to do so while under attack.

“I’ll stay behind to defend against the enemy. Yuki and Rosetta, you go back and regroup with the main group.”

Arjain and one of Exlanders were to stay behind to defend against the enemy while the others hurried down the cliff and headed for the main army.

They had been caught completely off guard, partly because they had not expected such a large-scale surprise attack.

Without being able to mount an organized counterattack, our allies were being taken down one after another. Ride carriers were also allowed to approach and several vessels seemed to have been destroyed.

“What does this mean? No matter how much we were caught by surprise, to have been beaten so one-sidedly.”

Rosetta muttered unconvinced as she looked at the battlefield. It is true that we are outnumbered and outgunned but the fact that Horostoi was competent made him able to understand the current situation.

He said, “Perhaps it is the strong enemy that Mister Arjain was talking about, the terribly strong magicrafts that are going around destroying our important forces. Even the Exlander class magicrafts are toothless and unable to stop him!”

Horostoi, who had heard Rosetta’s mutterings, explained so.

“I will stop him! Where is this formidable foe now?”

It appears that it’s time to step up to the plate. I don’t know if I can win against the powerful enemy……that Arjain couldn’t even touch, but if anyone can stop him, it would be me.

“We are currently engaged with heavy armored corps on the left flank. Please be careful. In addition to the strong enemy, there is also an enemy of the Exlander class accompanying them.”

“I understand. In the meantime, Horostoi, please concentrate all your efforts on reorganizing the army.”

“Yes, once the powerful enemy is stopped, I will be able to handle the rest.”

I knew immediately which one was the powerful enemy’s magicraft. Despite its red coloring and slim appearance, it had the power to easily blow away the large magicrafts of the Heavy Armored Corps, and there was something there with a presence that could be called alien.

It had the appearance of a noble warrior in warrior’s armor, a red aura that shimmered as if enveloping the magicraft, and his movements were lean and steady, so much so that an ordinary rider would shrink back and be unable to move due to its intimidation alone.

Perhaps noticing my approach, the warrior-armored magicraft turned toward me, twisting and cutting the neck of my ally, a heavily armed magicraft.

I was convinced that this magicraft……was quite strong……and would not be easily defeated.
