Doo doo doo.

Heehee~

​

The Venus chariot moved on without stopping.

​

The distance from the training center to the city of Meviron is not that long, about half a day.

​

◎︎ Malice detection reacts.

​

It will appear soon.

An unidentified group of people who don’t even know who they are.

​

I can tell because the unpleasant sensations from before are whispering to me.

​

They’ll attack us soon.

​

“It must have been really difficult. You tried to disqualify someone based on their origins alone. That instructor was really mean.”

​

“It’s okay. Thanks to you, I met Ronica.”

​

But it’s peaceful here.

​

Ronica, Andro, and Fiona continued their friendly conversation. It seemed like they were going to chat until they reached the city.

​

Likewise, the escort procession drove the carriage without knowing anything.

A situation where there is no solution.

​

If that’s the case.

​

‘Disciple. Come get some fresh air on the carriage.’

​

‘huh? On a carriage? Then you have to be careful not to fall?’

​

‘of course.’

​

Tadat~

​

While the three were talking, he jumped out the window and sat down on the carriage.

​

“Gasp!? Black guy just came out?”

​

“It’s okay. They say they want to get some fresh air on the carriage.”

​

“What does that mean?”

​

“Hehe~ I happen to be able to talk to black people from afar.”

​

“Really!?”

​

I ignored Andrew’s fuss coming from below and looked at the surroundings.

​

Rattling~

Duddud.

​

A forest road full of trees.

​

I closed my eyes for a moment and expanded my sense of energy.

​

I can sense a presence lurking far ahead.

​

‘Is it an ambush?’

​

There is still some distance, but the moment they pass through the middle of the road, they will attack.

​

What should I do?

​

If you want, you can run out right away and sweep them all up. But if you run out alone like that, your student will be very worried.

​

Above all, this side also needs to know that there was a raid method.

​

Then Hysterion will investigate.

​

The enemy is probably strong.

​

Goliath Knights.

Venus Musadae.

​

The proof is that even with this escort, there is still a feeling of an attack.

​

It would be correct to say that it is a force large enough to at least defeat the Goliath Knights. It is necessary to use Hysterion to investigate the background.

​

Then the key is how to subdue them…

​

That’s good.

​

Is it time to test it?

​

Tub~

​

I sat quietly and looked.

Until the enemies attack this place.

​

​

​

*

​

​

​

Meviron city.

Evelyn Training Center.

​

The road connecting these two places is mostly made up of mountain paths, but it is not a dangerous forest path because it is close to the city and training center.

​

This is because there is no crazy person who would risk the risk of stealing here.

​

but… .

​

“Around this would be fine.”

​

On the tree.

A man muttered.

​

He is Lionel, a 6-star knight.

​

He went to war after receiving a direct order from the Duke of Avalon’s closest associate, Admiral Arthuric.

​

The mission content is simple.

​

Kidnap a cadet named Lonica.

​

But it was difficult to understand.

​

“… I never thought I would go out of my way to kidnap a child.”

​

As if a large number of valuable 5-star soldiers were deployed in this mission, 20 more soldiers of 3-star or higher were also added.

​

As many as 30 people gathered together to kidnap a child.

​

Even high-level power was all secretly cultivated or recruited by the duke family.

​

The Duke’s dog.

Loyal dog.

​

These are people who have been tamed in various ways.

​

No matter how strong you are, you are still a child.

Was there any reason to invest so many manpower?

​

However, Arthuric insisted.

​

To act thoroughly.

Leave no trace.

It’s all the Duke’s will.

​

So it’s just absurd.

​

No matter how powerful the duke family was, this seemed like a bit too much.

​

Of course, that didn’t mean I let down my guard.

​

Because I don’t know what will happen.

Because there must be a good reason.

​

Even if you have doubts, carry out it thoroughly.

​

This is why he became the leader of the mission. Not only is he talented, but he puts his all into even the smallest things.

​

That’s why we’re ambushing you in advance.

​

The roads leading from the training center to the nearest city of Meviron are limited.

​

There’s no need to go back that far.

​

This is a mission that can be completed by ambushing us here.

​

Even though there is some traffic and it is close to the city and training center, there is no major problem. Complete the kidnapping within 5 minutes and erase all traces.

​

The problem is when the goal is to leave the training center, but that’s no problem.

​

Waiting is the basic mission.

​

You can wait for days.

​

“Lionel. A child named Ronika has left the training center.”

​

Just then, one of my subordinates reported the situation.

​

The target is starting to move.

​

Luckily, on the day the ambush began, the target moved to leave immediately.

​

This is a situation where heaven helps.

Only in this way can the mission be failed.

​

However, I had to swallow the absurdity of that afterword.

​

“But… There are dozens of people escorting the child.”

​

“What?… .”

​

“I heard from a member of the investigation team invited by the duke that Count Hysterion is leading the Goliath Knights and taking them out personally.”

​

“Mi, crazy. Why such a big name… .”

​

It’s embarrassing.

​

The escort of the Goliath Knights.

​

Even though it is a group hired and raised by a merchant, the Order of Knights is not the name of someone’s dog. Each one is a mana swordsman, and as far as I know, there are several 5-star swordsmen.

​

“Ha… Now I understand. The reason why so much effort was put into this task.”

​

“Do you execute the operation as is?”

​

“How big is the Knights of Goliath?”

​

“Approximately 20 people appear to have gone to war. In addition, there are more than ten mercenaries who are also standing guard.”

​

“I see… That’s a lot of power. But still, this is overwhelming power.”

​

“What do you plan to do?”

​

“Proceed like this. They must have already predicted the situation and invested this much effort. I guess it’s all the duke’s insight.”

​

“Okay.”

​

So Lionel made a big misunderstanding.

​

The Duke’s original strategy to watch out for Ronika’s hidden powers was transformed into a plan to deal with the Goliath Knights.

​

No matter how much a duke he is, he has no choice but to be reluctant to face the biggest player in the kingdom.

​

Of course you shouldn’t attack, but… .

​

Lionel didn’t even know that.

Just follow orders faithfully.

​

He decided to do his best to wipe out the knights and kidnap Ronica. Even if it means killing Hysterion who will get in the way.

​

Power is sufficient.

​

All of them are outstanding talents.

​

They are all thoroughly educated elite members of the duke family. Wiping out part of the knights can be done in one go with a good surprise attack.

​

We sent out reconnaissance to check in advance the route the carriage was heading towards and check for ambushes.

​

Climbing the tree.

Some people lie down in the bushes.

​

Such a time of waiting.

​

Doo doo doo~

​

Soon, a procession of carriages began to appear.

​

A total of five carriages.

Knights and guards surround him.

​

It was too much force to protect just one cadet.

​

But it’s okay.

​

Because soon everyone will die.

​

And luckily there are no other matrices.

​

Since it is a street where a lot of people pass by, it may be difficult if other people get caught up in it, but they are the only ones on this street at the moment.

Isn’t it perfect for raiding?

​

I raised my mask for a moment.

​

Currently, all subordinates, including himself, are disguised in black uniforms. We are fully prepared not only for ambush but also for erasing traces.

​

Sze-

​

I sent a hand signal to a nearby colleague by repeatedly folding and opening my fingers.

​

It means to prepare for attack.

​

Afterwards, the carriage passes through the forest road in front of you.

​

I counted the numbers with my fingers.

​

3… 2… One… … .

​

‘now.’

​

I clenched my fist and stretched it towards my goal.

​

Shashashak!!-

​

The subordinates, who had drawn their swords in advance, rushed out with silent steps. Probably half of them will already be dead by the time the knights find out.

​

The surprise attack was truly ignored.

​

Colleagues around you die without your knowledge.

When you realize it, the tip of the sword is aimed at you.

​

No matter how excellent the knights are, if they don’t respond properly, they will die.

​

Moreover, these are the elites.

​

You can never lose-

​

Kuguk!!!-

​

“Ugh!!!?”

​

Suddenly, I felt pressure constricting my whole body.

​

Right now, my feet feel dizzy and I feel like a light in front of a strong wind.

​

What on earth is going on?

​

I quickly opened my eyes and looked ahead.

​

“Keu!!”

“Wow!!?… .”

​

All of the men rushing toward the carriage stopped or knelt.

​

No, some of them just fainted and fell over.

​

“Huh? Well, what is it? These guys!?”

​

“It’s a surprise attack!! The enemies have surrounded this place with swords. Quickly prepare your defense formation!!!”

​

weird.

​

Normally, half of them should have been dead and screaming in confusion by now, but why did they draw their swords and form a defensive formation?

​

“Qu… .”

​

It’s really strange.

My body doesn’t move as it wants.

​

‘What on earth!?… ‘

​

afraid.

​

The feeling of death surrounding oneself.

My hands are shaking from the pressure.

​

If he were to hide in a tree and give orders like this, his subordinates would be appalled.

​

A large number of subordinates between 3 and 4 stars fell.

​

Saliva is leaking out.

​

Even those with excellent martial arts skills were unable to move properly, clutching their heads or shaking their legs as if they were frightened.

​

“These guys are shaking?”

​

“What is it? Why are you falling alone?”

​

“It’s not the time to discuss such things. Subdue them all!!”

​

“Suppress them all!! Dare to make me aware of my crime of attacking the top of Goliath!!”

​

“We can’t lose either. It’s time to see the results of training on Venus all day!!”

​

“Everyone run!!”

​

“Wow!!!”

​

Wrong.

Can not be done.

​

The subordinates are unable to respond and are attacked by the enemies and fall down.

​

Those who were still okay immediately turned around and ran away.

​

Someone swung a sword bravely, but there was no way they could fight with a trembling body. He was immediately overpowered and hit his face on the ground.

​

why?

Why on earth?

​

At that moment, Lionel saw.

​

A black baby animal standing on a carriage.

​

Sze-

​

The baby beast looks here.

Our eyes met.

​

“Huhhh!!… .”

​

How did I find this place?

​

No, I don’t believe it.

​

You can’t believe that someone who has reached the peak of 6 stars is scared just by making eye contact.

​

That can’t be possible.

​

The moment you try to deny it.

​

Hwaak-

​

Something unidentifiable was wrapped around my entire body.

​

Although it has no form, it can be clearly felt. The feeling of becoming infinitely small in front of a huge being.

​

The difference in class with the object that I suddenly realize.

You feel with your whole body how bad you are.

​

“Cough!!… .”

​

I vomited blood.

​

I feel stupid.

How dare you try to fight someone like that?

​

The subordinates fall without any resistance.

​

If we fight like this, we will die.

​

Rattling… .

​

‘You have to run away!… .’

​

Tadat!!

​

I immediately turned around and ran.

​

The safety of your subordinates?

Mission accomplished?

​

It doesn’t matter anything.

​

Shouldn’t you live and see it first?

​

“Crazy peacock… They were trying to kill us. Damn you!!… … .”

​

I cursed at the duke for no reason.

​

Although he was greatly shocked by the energy that was constricting his entire body, he was still a 6-star swordsman. It was worth moving rather than the subordinates falling down in panic.

​

Ta da da da dat!!!

​

Have you ever run this fast in your life?

​

He ran through the forest with all his might.

​

So he managed to escape alone until he could not see the wagon train.

There is no sign of being chased.

The baby beast’s gaze also disappeared.

The intimidating feeling that had been constricting my whole body finally dissipated.

​

“Phew… ha… … .”

​

I sat down against a tree and caught my breath.

​

The other subordinates were probably all captured.

​

He himself ran away so cruelly that what happened next is obvious even without looking at it.

​

I’m glad I didn’t get hit instead of running away.

​

“Hmm… I’m going to turn around.”

​

What was the identity of that beast?

​

The identity that made me feel the fear of death just by making eye contact was… .

​

“Ha, haha… … .”

​

Of course there is no way to know.

​

I just got annoyed.

​

“The bastards… Damn it.”

​

The target of that annoyance was none other than the Duke.

​

Usually, people get angry at those who are easier than those who dare to attack them.

​

Here, the opponents are two people.

​

It was the Duke of Avalon and his lieutenant, Arthuric.

​

Lionel continued to think.

​

Why did they give me this ridiculous mission?

To be killed like this?

​

Or did the Duke order the mission without knowing the enemy’s strength?

​

No way.

​

It is clear just by looking at the investment of such power.

​

They gave orders to that bastard to die.

​

Because they see themselves as a group from the beginning.

​

It would have been better if they had at least told me the enemy’s strength.

​

“So you tell me to thoroughly focus on my mission?… These guys are truly crazy.”

​

Whatever it is, it’s good.

It’s like ordering yourself to die.

​

I can’t help but be angry.

​

I feel a deep sense of betrayal.

​

Although his subordinates may not know, he is not the duke’s dog. I just happened to get an opportunity and stay because I was recognized for my outstanding ability.

​

I worked hard for the duke family, but I can’t live with this kind of treatment.

​

So what should we do now?

​

Either.

Either run away.

Rather revenge-

​

“Can I ask what your mission is?”

​

Spooky.

​

Suddenly, a voice comes from right in front of me.

A voice filled with anger that threatens to kill.

​

Someone is standing in front of him.

​

It just hardened.

​

‘You didn’t notice me while you came this close?… .’

​

Who on earth could it be?

What kind of strong person is this?

​

But I don’t want to know.

I don’t want to die like this.

​

I just swallowed and slowly raised my head.

​

An undead with red eyes.

​

For some reason, the very angry Death Knight was looking down at himself.

​
