episode_0426

The dragon arrived late and helped scout the surrounding area.

After confirming that the situation had calmed down like a dragon, he hid himself in the mountain next to the destroyed guard, unnoticed by others.

“Thank you for coming to help.”

“It’s absurd. I can’t believe I was robbed.”

The dragon who came to help Jean was Empiter, a master of flying.

The dragon’s eyes are full of disapproval.

“Sorry.”

“I have nothing to apologize for. You are the one who lost your belongings.”

Empiter blows his nose and looks up at the falling rain as if he is annoyed.

“Is there anything else to see?”

“No.”

The dragon went into a cave to avoid the heavy rain.

‘I have to go down too.’

The 2nd guard was destroyed, and Jean fainted due to anemia.

Among the apprentices, the only one to die was Sherry, and the most seriously injured was Jean.

It was clear that they had business at the 2nd Guard Division.

‘They came to kidnap my friend.’

It is clear that you are referring to Jean.

I couldn’t understand it at all.

‘How do they know my social relationships?’

I can not know.

If someone had said something about me, they would have targeted Isabelle, not Jean.

In other words, Sur naturally knows that Jean is his younger brother.

‘······He knew he was targeting my younger brother.’

My heart is getting cold.

The rain that was still pouring down on the ground had taken away all the blood and bloody smell.

This rain is sure to steal even the scent to track Isabelle.

‘You can’t leave it like that.’

The bow was heavy so it didn’t get swept away by the rapid current, but all the relatively light arrows were swept away.

Now all I have left are the thirty arrows I had packed as spares.

A supply officer spotted me from afar and came running.

“Deputy White House! Where have you been?!”

“I went to support the security forces.”

“This is a big deal! I can’t see Isabel Vice Baekjeong!”

“I was captured by these guys.”

“···Yes?”

“Vice-President Isabel became a prisoner of the enemy.”

“Ah, no…! Didn’t you get hit by an arrow?!”

The supply officer approaches me with his eyes wide and fussed.

“It’s okay.”

It’s my fault.

Shir wants me to come forward with my feet.

If we don’t go, Isabel will go from a special prisoner to a not-so-special prisoner.

It’s easy to see what’s going to happen.

Especially because, if it were Shir, he would immediately realize what Isabel’s appearance was.

“We need a small group of elite troops to go rescue Deputy Seal Isabel right now.”

Isabel gave up her will for me.

I also had to repay my due.

“Chief Vice President! I’m bleeding heavily! You need to take care of your body first!”

“My body is healthy.”

If I had been hit just a little lower, my lungs would have been damaged, but that wasn’t the case.

are you okay.

Quick!

I broke the tip of the arrow and pulled it out.

It was a burning sensation I hadn’t felt in a really long time.

“I received a letter from the front headquarters saying that the cavalry has been dispatched!”

“Horses can’t cross rivers, right?”

“Don’t you know?! Everyone is exhausted from the battle in the rain! Close to a hundred people were killed or injured!”

But none of the opponents died.

Except for the four I suppressed, the other six ran away.

The hopeless result of a thousand men being completely defeated by ten men sent morale into a downward spiral.

I witnessed it firsthand when I took Jean to the hospital of the supply unit.

Anger felt everywhere, and fear greater than anger.

Take people who are scared like turtles and go into the enemy country to chase them?

‘You’ll be lucky if you don’t desert.’

In the end, we had no choice but to wait for the cavalry that was not affected by the atmosphere of this place.

─I will definitely save you.

No matter what happens, we will save you, and in the meantime, you must be fully prepared.

“I will be away for just one day.”

“Are you out of your mind?! Are you leaving this division?!”

“You need a weapon to kill the Immortal. I will definitely be back by midnight today.”

“No, where on earth did this division get weapons─”

The supply officer sighed as if he was astonished.

“Haa… Please come back. If anyone asks, I will tell them that.”

“Thank you.”

I need a weapon.

A powerful weapon that can cut and destroy everything.

* * * * * *

“So, you want me to make that sword into a polearm?”

“Yes.”

Seth wrinkled his eyebrows.

“Ha… It really varies. It’s hard to justify forging using magic because it’s obvious.”

“I’m sorry.”

“You, I don’t look like a tool to make your wishes come true, do you?”

“No.”

Seth was truly angry.

At the same time, the pink-tinged hair turns tightly.

Soon it goes beyond pink and reaches the bright red area.

Seth suppresses his anger and jumps up.

“Give that to me, and don’t follow me.”

“Yes. It’s here.”

Seth accepted Uzurey’s great sword with arrogance and slammed the door to the iron workshop.

Soon, a haze began to rise from the door of the studio.

‘What on earth are you doing?’

One thing I know is that if I touch that door, my hand will get burned.

In the end, I had no choice but to sit on a chair and wait.

How much time has passed?

Slam!

Seth opened the door to the studio and came out, holding a heated iron shaped like a weapon in his hand.

“Now. How about it?”

“If you use it like that, you will get burned.”

“Look at the shape!”

6 cubits from the eye to the tip of the blade.

‘This is enough.’

An inverted crescent-shaped ax blade and a sharp, sturdy-looking hammer.

Moderately sharp, long spear blade and conical butt cap.

“Just from the outside, it looks well balanced.”

“Nothing like that, is this enough?”

“Please make it more sturdy.”

“What?”

“More solidly.”

Seth’s expression showed a look of hesitation.

“The weapon becomes too heavy.”

“No. I can handle it. Make it heavier and stronger.”

Although Rexie used a spear, she said that the best weapon was the polearm.

So the weapon I learned from him the longest was also a polearm.

“5 bounds more.”

“Think carefully. Are you planning to use a weapon over 20 pounds?”

“Even the spear pole is made of iron, and it is made into a 25-pounder. I wish the length of the spear blade was increased by half a cubit. Please make the tip of the ax blade larger.”

“···Why do I want so many things?”

Seth wrinkled his eyebrows.

It was a signal to give me a carrot.

“Instead, I will give you whatever you want as much as possible.”

Seth’s ears twitch lightly.

“···Really?”

“As much as possible.”

Seth’s eyes rolled around and came towards me.

“Then, there is one thing I would like to ask you…”

Softened eyes glance at me.

The artificial appearance was very cute.

“What is it?”

“Don’t trust that woman named Isabel Laphobia.”

Seth’s eyes were transparent, and he was just worried about me.

“Because she is the woman who will bring you greater misfortune and despair than anyone else.”

“I… I don’t know.”

“That’s your problem. If it’s your own person, you can’t give up.”

Seth opens the door to the studio, holding a halberd that has cooled and started to lose its shine.

“The servant knows your weaknesses better than anyone else. So never forget what I said.”

Seth headed to the studio, holding the halberd that was glowing in the haze.

* * * * * *

Until now, Seth had received all the compensation through physical relationships.

It was the same this time too.

To be honest, it was more difficult than Woozu Ray.

“Dwin! Where have you been and where are you now?! That’s…”

Amilla fell silent when she saw the huge military weapon.

Halberd.

It is a weapon that has now been retired and no one uses it.

“Wait a minute, outside.”

I put down the halberd, immediately attached the pump hose to the air tank, and started pumping.

Slurp – slurp – slurp – slurp –

The empty seats of Isabelle, Jean, and Sherry are particularly noticeable.

“Dwin. I wish you could explain.”

Coober turned on the light in his eyes and looked at me.

Could it be that they were unable to protect their soldiers from an unknown attack?

The eyes are full of anger and guilt.

“A group of 5 Immortals have infiltrated 2 groups. While the 1st group stirred up the front lines, the 2nd group attacked and destroyed the 2nd security corps. Isabelle and I were defeated due to the joint attack by barbarian executive Wuzuray and barbarian executive Alice Gregory.”

The eyes of the apprentice knights gather one by one.

“Why did you attack the 2nd security corps? What’s there?”

“I don’t know either. Sherry was killed during the battle with Usrey, Jean was in the hospital, and Isabelle was taken prisoner.”

The atmosphere becomes heavy.

“I will cross the Rhine River tomorrow.”

“···You were hit by an arrow.”

“Is it a serious injury?”

The knights looked at me and none of them opened their mouths.

Did I look like a self-sacrificing hero?

All I’m doing is picking up spilled water.

The air in the apprentice engineer’s quarters was heavy.

Some people are afraid, some people are guilty, some people are embarrassed…

The only thing they had in common was the feeling of not wanting to open their mouths.

“How was it on your side?”

“···Isabel single-handedly pushed the monsters that hundreds of people couldn’t defeat, like a ghost. I pushed the momentum. Otherwise, two hundred people might have died.”

Amilla speaks as if she is embarrassed.

It wasn’t something to be ashamed of.

It is said that a wasp can stand alone against a thousand bees.

“Dwin, I want to accompany you.”

“Don’t be crazy.”

Although he fired aggressively, Coober wasn’t particularly offended.

Because that was the truth.

Coober was just feeling ashamed.

“···How many reversible medicines are left?”

“I wrote it all.”

Coober took out a piece of Precious Blood from his belt and handed it to me.

“I hope the servant’s care will be with you.”

“···Thank you. I’ll write something useful.”

Coober’s actions seemed to have been a catalyst.

The remaining apprentice knights looked at each other, and they all began to approach me.

“Come back alive.”

“You have to take care of yourself.”

“Come back alive and pay back.”

“Please take revenge.”

Before I knew it, I was holding fifteen pieces of Precious Blood in my hands.

“Yes. I will.”

* * * * * * *

“···Mr. Vice President. I think it will be difficult to cross the Rhine River.”

next day.

The face of the supply officer who welcomed me was full of discomfort.

“What are you talking about?”

“Well… I saw the volunteers from headquarters… and they all seemed to have mental problems. He seems like a mercenary. In addition, Commander Cheon’s operational instructions have not been given to us.”

My head started to hurt.

Why aren’t they giving orders to the scouts to rescue the prisoners?!

“Why do you not give orders to the scouts to rescue the prisoners, but instead entrust such an executive role to external mercenaries?! The thousand seal is crazy!”

“I think it’s probably an arrow holder. Hasn’t it been a day? Besides, how are you going to track in such heavy rain? Moreover, the opponent is an immortal who never gets tired. Objectively… the possibility of survival is very low…”

The supply officer looks at me.

It meant giving up Isabel in moderation.

It looks like he doesn’t like the idea of me going to Yunaira.

“···That’s right.”

” Vice Captain Isabel is the daughter of a noble family, so it seems like they are trying to respond quickly but use Garra to minimize troop losses. This is probably why you did not give us any orders. I can’t help it. The Vice President is also putting his mind in order…”

But I didn’t intend to do that.

“I can’t see that.”

“Haa···Chief Deputy Baek···.”

“Please tell the auditor as it is when he comes down. It can be said that Deputy Chief Dwin Lee left his duty station and went with the cavalry reconnaissance team to rescue Deputy Chief Isabel Laphobia.”

The supply officer looked at me with a blunt expression, but there was admiration in his eyes.

“···I don’t know?”

“You can tell me something you didn’t know.”

The supply officer glances at me with an idiotic look in his eyes.

Nevertheless, he acknowledged me in his heart.

Soon the supply officer passed me by and went into the bathroom.

‘I said I came here on horseback.’

I remember the location of the stables.

If you follow the scent from there, you will be able to find the cavalry.

I blindly headed to the stables and wandered around the interior of the barracks looking for any unfamiliar smells that the cavalry might have.

‘stall?’

However, the cavalrymen are in the stables with the horses.

Moreover, there were only eight horses in the stable.

‘What is this…’

I burst into laughter as the smell assaulted my nose.

Isn’t this the smell of gunpowder that should never be present in the military?

Only then did I realize it.

─Avenger.

Those dispatched were the Avengers unit led by Alex.

“Hahaha!!!”

They are enjoying taking drugs and playing cards in the stable.

A den of psychopaths.

Those words fit perfectly.

One of the hosots who noticed my presence rolled his eyes and looked up at me.

“Uh, who are you?”

“My name is Dwin Lyra, Deputy Centurion of the 3rd Reconnaissance Company.”

“So? Um…”

Hosott looks at me with an uncomfortable expression.

“Are you going to do it together?”

“I’m not good at card games.”

I went inside and found the conductor.

Who is it?

Terub, human, elf, human, hosot, hosot…

My attention naturally turned to a man.

“Are you one of the Ten Seals?”

“···Is that so?”

He was human.

He is wearing dynamite under his armor like a suicide terrorist.

There is an oil lighter with the word ‘fire’ written on it, like a decal, on the top of the right chest.

And, a fuse wrapped around like a necklace.

What resembles a dog tag attached to a fuse reads, ‘Light here.’ There was a somewhat difficult to understand phrase written on it.

“Are you planning to cross the Rhine River?”

“I plan to.”

“I also want to accompany you.”

“Why?”

“Because there is a reason for that.”

“Who doesn’t know? Please be more specific about who told you to do it, that you have to go for revenge, or that you have to go to save someone you love…”

The name Big Frey was written on the necklace.

He puffs out cigarette smoke at me and glares at me.

But I didn’t feel any malice in his gaze.

“Why do you want to follow us?”

It’s just that he is a human being who has become like this.

Perhaps because of the drugs, his words and thoughts seemed a bit lighter.

“I think it’s closer to the latter.”

Although I don’t love you.

“””Oh― Oh~!!!”””

The avengers smiled, showing their yellow teeth.

They clapped their hands like an audience hearing a meaningful speech.

The corners of the commander’s mouth, who had been looking at him with a straight face, slowly rose.

But even for a moment. He gave me an intense look as if he was glaring at me with his eyes shining.

“Love! Love is good! There’s nothing you can’t do when you’re in love! Isn’t that right?!”

“Yes. I think so.”

“Hahaha! ···Are you crazy? Throw away your life for love.”

The ten seal’s voice becomes as cold as ice.

“What psychopath would want to cross the Rhine with the ‘Avenger’ without going crazy? ”

Big Frey’s brown eyes sparkled.

He turns his bearded head to look up at me.

Soon Big Frey smiled and held out his hand to me.

“Ugh!!! Haha!!! yes! Not like that! Vice President, you are a crazy person like us! ruler! Let’s sit back and enjoy the last game!”

“Thank you very much.”

I shook his hand and quietly joined the group.

‘···It’s the last game.’

They had no rank badges.

Everyone had dynamite somewhere on their bodies and lacked any sense of fear.

Fear has been castrated.

‘It must be the work of the Grand Duke Widow.’

Even if they come back alive, they will not be able to lead a normal life.

The secret about the Avengers unit has already been revealed to the whole world because of me.

But I had no idea that there were still so many Avengers units left.

‘Are we being targeted for murder after the operation?’

In other words, their survival rate is 0%.

···This is not the time to think about the circumstances of these people.

I have to focus on saving Isabelle.

I thought to myself, and decided to join them in their final game.
