Chapter Index

    “The Third Knights need support… !!”

    “The 5th Magic Corps is at risk of mana depletion!!”

    “7th Knights, injured soldiers are coming one after another!!”

    It was not just the academy students who were unable to easily respond to the sudden situation and suffered great damage.

    Currently, the Royal Knights and Royal Magic Soldiers fighting in various parts of the royal capital are fighting with skills befitting their reputation, which only those who are certified can enter.

    “First of all, you have to endure… !!

    I can’t go anywhere for support… !!

    Damn it… There are too many… … !!”

    But just because they were like that, it didn’t mean they weren’t human.

    As requests for assistance and urgent reports poured in from all over, the knight commander appeared to be swearing and slamming his fist on the table set up in the temporary command center.

    “We will go and support… !!

    Captain… Good luck… !!”

    In the meantime, the lieutenants, who could no longer ignore the support, stood up and drew their swords, and the knight commander could only nod his head with his eyes closed.

    “Go to the 7th Knights!!

    I will personally support the 3rd Knights!!”

    “Where is that?”

    “Where is that… !! What… … !?

    Who are you!?”

    “What can you say? Support came.

    This is Carlson, head of the swordsmanship department at St. Plancina Academy.

    I came to support the field with my disciples.”

    At the words of a young-looking man whose entire body was covered in black clothes, from shoes to pants to cape, perhaps due to his personal preference, the expression on the knight commander’s face, which had been filled with irritation only a moment ago, was turning completely white.

    “Head of the academy’s swordsmanship department… !!

    If it’s Carlson… Are you of the Duke of Germain…? !!”

    “Let’s put off trivial matters until later.

    First, I will hand over command, so give instructions.”

    “Yes… ancient… !! Senior Senior… !!

    It’s an honor to fight with you… !!”

    “How is the magic army going?”

    Meanwhile, in response to a question from an elderly man who was trotting out with a cane behind him, the knight commander, who had been slightly cowering due to the appearance of the head of the academy’s swordsmanship department, was carefully answering the question.

    “That’s… The problem of magical power depletion… ”

    “Hehe… Since I drew such a large magic formation…

    It goes without saying that you are bound to feel body aches.

    It’s a good thing just holding on until now.

    Then we ask you to do so.”

    “Yes, I will… What are you doing?

    Hurry up and don’t even invite that person… !!”

    The knight commander wanted to send them away quickly, so he was poking the side of the adjutant next to him.

    Looking at the adjutant’s frozen expression, the knight commander was urging the adjutant.

    “da… Dada… all… Dardanil… !!

    Meet the Great Sage!!

    If it’s convenient for you, please give me guidance… !!”

    Only then did the adjutant’s voice stammer and shout, full of tension, and the knight commander’s expression turned pitch black.

    “A story from when… !! Hmm… !!

    Well, I was a bit lazy back in the day!! Uh huh!! It’s a farm day.

    It’s still not enough to be called a wise man.

    I’m going to change shift soon, so could you please guide me?”

    “How long are you going to take care of yourself?

    Gather the wounded soldiers to the rear.

    Please bring in the most dangerous patients first.

    We’ve prepared the supplies, so just hurry up and get the patient.”

    “Tea… Chaoxing’s God… … !!

    crime… sorry… !!

    I will prepare it right away… !!”

    It is truly a feast of stars.

    As if the One Star, who had been running wild without knowing the fear of the world, understood his subject by looking at the 2-star, 3-star, and 4-star, the Knight Commander and his lieutenants who were facing the Deans of the Departments seemed to be rushing forward with the momentum of not being able to see their legs.

    Fortunately, the head of the engineering department, a ‘Meister’, which refers to the best generals in Warmhausen, remained at the academy and, together with the students, was modifying and operating various drones stored at the academy for use in combat.

    It was a shame because they were putting so much effort into building additional fortifications, and it looked like the knight commander would have suffered a myocardial infarction at any moment if he were still here.

    As the leader of the Royal Knights, where there was no way for anyone to get away with anything, he was not that young either.

    As the knight commander and his group trembled at the sight of the opponents they were facing, the students watching from behind suddenly seemed to be realizing the greatness of those who taught them.

    Anyway, the important part is supporting the knights.

    As a large army of about 1,000 students, including professors, rushed into the academy, where command had been handed over for that purpose, the knight commander seemed to start commanding while letting out a shout of joy without realizing it.

    “Full hit? I guess the situation is more serious than you imagine?”

    “Why? What’s the problem?”

    “Wizards will also be mobilized for battle!!

    They say there aren’t enough people to help restore Madoujin!!

    This means that the swordsman alone does not have the power to deal with monsters.”

    Of course, it was true that with the support from students, the Knights also had relative freedom.

    But if you put a straw in the mouth of a drowning person, how effective would it be?

    In the end, it was a law that could save a person only if it rescued the person or passed on an oxygen respirator.

    Basically, if you don’t do something about the endless waves of monsters that remind you of the humane tactics, you will eventually be crushed to death by the remaining monsters even if you seal the gate.

    “In the end, we have to do something about the things that are out there right now… ”

    “Knights are not people who can never fight.

    There are also famous people like Brünkel, Carlos, and Debbie Moore…

    The problem is that there are just too many monsters… …

    In this situation, we have to… …

    Is it really helpful or not? … ?”

    “They say it’s like that… …

    Is it okay, Vivian… ?

    We are also humans first of all… … ”

    While standing in a line with other students in school uniforms, I heard one student mumbling to another student who was looking at the current situation quite calmly.

    Ranie seemed to be growing more anxious the more she listened, as she put her lips close to Vivian’s ear and whispered quietly.

    Vivian, who had been clutching her forehead for no reason as if she was getting a headache from Ranie’s words, ‘First of all, a person’, lowered her gaze gently and was smoothing the handle of the sword she wore at her side.

    “It will be fine. It might be a little difficult…

    If we can’t do it anyway… … ”

    “Let’s go!! Just like the company we divided up earlier!!

    The 1st and 2nd Companies pass through Carbine Street and join the 3rd and 7th Knights!!

    The 3rd Company assists students applying to join the Magic Corps!!

    The 4th Company will be commanded separately by professors, so please follow!!”

    Without even having time to finish their answer, Vivian and Ranie were also caught up in the crowd of students who were starting to move in response to the instructions given in a hurry due to the rush hour.

    The place they belong to is the 3rd Company.

    First of all, it was a relatively simple task: escorting students joining the magic army.

    “Aurora must be somewhere in there…

    So we are actually the last line of defense?”

    “Yes. Because magic soldiers need an escort just in case of an unexpected situation.

    If done well, there may be no more battles…

    It must be hard to expect something like that… … ”

    Of course, if the situation was favorable, there was no need to worry about the threat of monsters.

    The problem is when variables arise.

    And in most cases, monsters are things whose very existence can be seen as a variable.

    “Potion!! Where else is there!!”

    “Rotten… !! Why is the calculation not correct… !!”

    When they arrived at the magic corps, seeing the magic corps look more serious than expected, the students’ agitation grew even more.

    “Hey… !! Wake!!

    The hemoptysis won’t stop!!

    Where is the congressman!!”

    Because there are people everywhere with bloody and haggard faces and hemoptysis, which is one of the side effects of depletion of magical power, it’s cute to think that you may have mistakenly arrived at the knighthood that actually fights monsters directly.

    While their physical condition was restored to some extent, the morale of the students in the Department of Magic was literally falling as if they were riding a roller coaster, seeing them walking around like zombies in search of potions that help absorb magical power. .

    In fact, among the magic corps and student soldiers, the only ones who can move properly are a few students and professors.

    ‘It’s already terrible.’

    Vivian’s eyes were becoming stained with worry as she began to be wary of her surroundings and glance at the magic corps.

    The magic corps had to climb up to relatively high ground because they had to have a wide view of their surroundings.

    “Ogeoda!! The ogre is charging!!”

    “Scorpia!! Watch out for the tail attack!!”

    For that reason, the battle between humans and monsters seen below still looks very intense.

    “Ugh!! Top species have begun to emerge!!”

    “Ah… !! Bye, just like this… … !!”

    At least until now, the lower-ranking species were coming out in droves and only eating away at their stamina.

    Now, even higher-species monsters are starting to come out one by one, showing that the gate is gradually breaking away from the influence of the seal.

    As it is, the magic corps is a total hit, and of course, it cannot provide any magic support.

    Even if the knights gritted their teeth and endured for a hundred days, it was at a level that was meaningless.

    At least the professors and students of the Department of Magic seemed to be sharing their magic power to calm the physical condition of the magic soldiers, but it was no different from wasting the magic power needed to cast magic spells.

    I have to work with people in this condition and find a way to seal the dungeon.

    ‘rather… If you join the knights even now… …

    no… Anyway, without these people, the dungeon would be sealed… … ‘

    “Swamp Demon!! Attack this way… Kuerugggeng!!”

    Does heaven know or not know Vivian’s agony?

    ‘how… how should… … ‘

    While the students, who were relatively timid and in a protected position, formed a line and raised their swords, the number of knights falling in front gradually began to increase.

    ‘like this… It’s really over… Is it… … ?’

    The last hope that I had not let go of until now was at the very moment when I thought it would finally collapse.

    Vivian was watching the devastation below with a sense of futility, and in front of her eyes, ‘things’ appeared before her.

    – Kyuuup!!
