#Episode 189 (Side Story Episode 2)
Noyan’s expression suddenly flushed at Georgios’ sudden re-invasion.
Moreover, since it was a completely unexpected surprise attack, he hastily summoned the knights.
“I hope you gather the most elite knights as possible and build all your defenses! “All of the trainee knights will have to be sent to the battlefield, and I order the mercenaries to be summoned as soon as possible!”
“I will follow your orders!”
As Noyan quickly gave orders, the knights were busy preparing to head straight to the battlefield without even having time to enjoy the dinner.
Gram also emptied the last of his drink, put on his iron armor and headed to the battlefield.
“… “It’s not easy to drink comfortably.”
Eventually, he picked up the recurve bow that was hanging on one side of the room.
Gram, who had plenty of arrows to spare, looked more confident than ever before.
“We must absolutely stop them from coming up! Pay close attention to building defenses as much as possible!”
“Their resistance is formidable!”
“must! “It must be stopped at all costs!”
It was difficult for the Costas Knights to even properly brace themselves against Georgios’ strong attacks.
Seeing this, Gus, who couldn’t see anything, said something.
“I’m telling you, try to stop it somehow! “If that doesn’t work out, we’ll have to have mercenaries step up and protect us outside the walls!”
As the situation became more and more urgent, Gus even randomly drove the mercenaries hired by Kostas out of the castle walls.
Following them, Gram also had no choice but to be pushed out of the walls.
However, Gram continued to show outstanding skills even in tense situations.
“… Go for it as much as you want. “I will kill you all.”
There was no way Gram’s bowstring could stop.
No matter what opponent came, Gram just kept aiming his arrows.
The knights of Georgios who aimed their swords at Gram were often struck down by his arrows one after another, and were completely unable to move.
‘Riyad’, the head of the 2nd Knights of Georgios, observed Gram’s archery skills closely.
“I heard that guy was aiming at my brother’s neck earlier, right?”
“I think this ski slope is truly excellent! “You can’t even get close to him!”
“But you can’t back down like before! Absolutely, capture that bastard alive! No matter what happens!”
“All right!”
Riyadh’s older brother, whom Riyadh had depended on and admired for a long time, lost his life in battle today.
There was no need to say how helpless he was, and without even having time to wallow in the sadness of not being able to see his brother anymore, he rushed into this battlefield.
“My dead brother’s enemy! “I will definitely kill you with my own hands.”
Riyadh glares at Gram, who took his brother’s life.
He gritted his teeth and naturally rushed towards Gram.
“I’ll make sure you never hold a bow again!”
Holding a long spear with two swords attached to both sides, Riyadh sought revenge.
After seeing Riyadh’s appearance, Gram immediately bent down as much as possible.
Gram was also a little nervous at Riyadh’s spear skills, which were fiercely attacking him.
“Indeed, let’s see how long we can endure.”
“… Only death awaits. “There will only be regrets.”
A fierce battle took place between Gram and Riyadh.
Probably because he was the one who used the bow.
Of course, I thought that Riyadh would show an overwhelming performance in close combat.
Gram’s resistance was also formidable.
Before he knew it, Gram took out the shortsword on his waist and countered Riyadh’s attack.
The battle between the two was so fierce.
It was enough to attract everyone’s attention.
“There won’t be a final outcome like this, right?”
“You’re not just good at shooting a bow!”
It feels like there will be no easy resolution.
In the meantime.
To end the situation, one of Georgios’ knights began throwing dozens of gunpowder bottles at Gram.
pop-!
Gunpowder bottles exploded around Gram in an instant.
Even black smoke began to billow.
At the same time, it was not easy for Gram to exhale.
As the gunpowder bottle exploded, various chemical substances irritated Gram’s nose and bronchial tubes.
On the other hand, Riyadh did not have much difficulty breathing as one of his subordinates quickly provided him with a gas mask.
“Kuhup!”
Gram is increasingly having trouble breathing.
Strangely, it felt like his consciousness was gradually disappearing.
“ah… . “Eyes, eyes are closed.”
***
Temporary garrison of the Georgios Knights.
The surprise attack on Kostas at night was short-lived, and Georgios immediately returned to the garrison.
Although there was no great harvest due to the late-night raid.
There was bound to be a decent(?) harvest.
Sigh-
“Do you think this is your living room? How long are you going to stay asleep?”

Gram was in a state of unconsciousness due to a gunpowder bottle.
He finally came to his senses after being baptized with water.
“… Ugh.”
When he opened his eyes, his hands and feet were already bound and he was in a situation where he could not resist.
“how is it? “So you’re in a situation where you can’t even pick up that fancy bow?”
Riyadh mocked Gram, who was unable to make any movement.
“I can never forgive you. Until I avenge my dead brother! “I’ll break that handsome arm right now.”
Pak-
Riyadh even kicked Gram’s arms and abdomen.
Even with the gag in his mouth, Gram’s constant moans of pain could be heard throughout the place.
It seemed like Riyadh’s anger wasn’t going to fade away easily.
“How shall I kill you? Should I tie him alive somewhere in the mountains? To be torn apart by hungry wild animals. Or will he be burned at the stake? “They said there’s nothing more painful than that?”
Riyadh made all kinds of mockery and could only think about how to kill his dead brother’s enemy.
Soon, Riyadh did not stop kicking at Gram.
The bruises spread to every corner of Gram’s body, to the point where there was no sound spot.
In the end, Gram’s left arm was even broken, making it more fatal than ever.
Meanwhile, in front of Riyadh, an old man held up a cane and tried to mediate the situation.
“Hehe, it looks like Riyadh has gotten really worked up.”
“of course! My brother died because of this bastard. “My brother!”
“Calm down, Riyadh.”
The old man led his frail body and blocked Gram’s path.
“Wait a minute, can I talk to this guy privately? Mr. Riyadh.”
“… .”
“I don’t think it will take long. I’m going to die anyway. “Wouldn’t you be able to show us the mercy of saying a few words?”
Riyad was not very reluctant, but he was Georgios’ shaman and an old man who was highly envied by the knights.
I couldn’t just refuse.
“Tch, do that.”
“Yes, then.”
Eventually, Riyadh leaves the place.
His subordinates also followed Riyadh.
In this situation, only the old man and Gram were left.
Because Riyadh’s kick was so harsh, the old man had no choice but to check Gram’s abdomen.
However, I only lifted Gram’s top slightly.
The old man’s pupils began to shake violently.
“This, this pattern!”
There was a large hook-shaped pattern engraved on Gram’s abdomen.
This is a pattern symbolizing Gram’s family, Bakasetas, and was a mark engraved on him from the time he was born.
Of course, today the Bakacetas family has been exterminated.
Now, only Gram was left as a descendant of Bakasetas.
Nevertheless, the old man immediately recognized Gram’s presence when he saw the pattern engraved on his abdomen.
“I never thought I would meet a descendant of Bakasetas in a place like this!”
The old man continued to let out exclamations.
Gram had no idea why he was reacting so strongly.
“Look at my mind. Please wait a moment.”
The old man hastily removed Gram’s gag.
Gram, who had been unable to say anything since he was captured, was finally able to utter a few words.
“haha. Who is it that you keep bringing up our Bacacetas?”
At this, the old man put down his cane and immediately put his hands together.
“You are like a lifesaver to me.”
“… ?”
“If it weren’t for Horseburn Bacasetas, I probably wouldn’t be here right now.”
“!!”
Gram was very surprised.
That’s right too.
Because the old man casually mentioned the name of his dead father.
Gram’s mind was instantly filled with curiosity.
“Who are you? “How do you know my father’s name?”
Then, the old man looked at Gram intently.
“Quite a bit of time has passed. “It’s already been 30 years since I first met Mr. Horseburn.”
The old man slowly began to recall the past.
Starting with how he immediately learned of the pattern symbolizing the Bakasetas family, he also explained in detail his relationship with Gram’s father, ‘Holsburn Bakasetas’.
“At that time, I really thought everything was over. I looked at the whole scene with these two eyes. Monsters, they were truly devil-like. They preyed on humans at random. Merchants, slaves, nobles, women, and even children. At that time, I thought I would be no exception. But then! “A nobleman has appeared.”
“… … .”
The nobleman the old man is talking about now is.
It seemed to mean ‘Holsburn Vacacetas’, Gram’s father.
The old man continued speaking.
“At that time, I really felt like I was seeing a hero. “He seemed braver and stronger than anyone else.”
The old man vividly remembered his first meeting with Holsburn.
At that time, I was surrounded by monsters and was on the brink of death.
Horseburn suddenly appeared in front of him and killed the monsters at random.
At a time when no one was reluctant to stand in front of the monsters.
The image of Halsburn was bound to remain imprinted in the mind of the old man at that time to this day.
However, the brave Horseburn did not last that long.
“… “Until the black clouds gather, of course.”
“… no way?”
“you’re right. The day when the bloody dawn began! From that day on, Mr. Horseburn could no longer open his eyes.”
Perhaps because he was so absorbed in old memories, tears were forming in the corners of the old man’s eyes.
