Chapter 226: The Tin Knight and The Tower of Greed (6)
Bruha Rognir was a participant in the “cat hunt”.
“Cat hunt” was a code word used among the bloodline when referring to the battle where the Friedel domain forces were annihilated. It came about because the cautious gray old man hadn’t designated an official operation name to minimize the possibility of problems.
It meant hunting those who had connections with the lion—Lennart—but weren’t the real deal—main family.
“Well, they were quite fierce for cats.”
They say that in fishing, the bigger and stronger the opponent, the more thrilling the catch, right?
For Bruha, the Friedel domain forces gave exactly that feeling.
While the bandits, who were just numerous but lacking in skill, would only burn like firewood or die while fleeing in all directions with each wave of Bruha’s hand, even the common soldiers of the Friedel domain forces didn’t lose their fighting spirit until the end.
Some knights, even while being surrounded and one-sidedly hit by attack magic, managed to break through the encirclement and cut down some mages.
Of course, that didn’t reverse the tide of battle.
The basic power itself was in favor of the Tower of Control side, and moreover, the tower knew all of Friedel’s movement routes and tactics.
Starting from an overwhelmingly losing situation, the struggles of some brave individuals couldn’t overturn the outcome.
Bruha, who mainly handled fire magic instead of ice that the Rognir bloodline often used, instantly burned a dozen soldiers who maintained a defensive formation prepared to die to protect their comrades, and poured fireballs on the head of a knight who had broken through the encirclement, turning him into a roast.
