Chapter 23. The night guest appears without warning. (5)
“What… do you mean?”
“Running away?”
The members’ faces hardened as if there was no greater insult than this.
“There is no retreat for the Ovest Knights!”
“If not us, who will stop the monsters?”
As their voices became somewhat more heated, only Konrad kept his mouth shut and studied my expression.
“…….”
His green eyes were calm and unmoving.
‘As expected, you’re smart.’
He seemed to understand what I was trying to say. That must have been a thought he also had countless times at the border.
Sereung-
“Okay, then I’ll just leave here.”
As he took out his sword and shouted slyly, the members all fell silent.
“Disobeying orders is death.”
Their quivering eyes contained the blade of a sword.
“Are you really trying to kill us…?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to follow, it’s that I don’t understand….”
The members were so shocked that they mumbled.
‘Anyway, they are stubborn guys.’
There are times when this aspect is frustrating.
Still, it must have been thanks to that unwavering temperament that he risked his life to protect the Obest territory.
I didn’t want to lose those guys and the people I had trained so well.
‘How much have you invested so far?’
When I spend my precious time and money, there should be a corresponding result.
Those who will stand on my side must all return to the territory with their limbs intact.
“A knight’s pride, that’s a good word.”
He carefully polished his sword and slowly moved his lips.
“Because we have protected it, the Ovest territory has been able to survive so far.”
Every time I snapped my fingers, the members’ shoulders twitched. The effects of the ‘special training’ that had been carried out so far were being fully demonstrated.
“But that’s just a lie.”
Like frost falling, my voice, now colder, fell to the ground.
“I have no intention of building Magna Morten here.”
The members’ complexions changed at the appearance of a familiar word. They lifted their gaze and fixed it on my face.
“I don’t mean to be cowardly.”
He lifted his sword and pointed backwards.
“-!”
The members flinched as if they had been stabbed, then slowly turned around and followed the sword.
“It means do your best, but don’t fight like there’s no tomorrow.”
“…….”
“Because we’re not the only ones here.”
There were other knights busily moving around where the tip of the sword touched. They have been fighting together so far and have been quite good support groups.
“Fight with all your might, look around and join forces.”
“…….”
“We did not come here to die.”
The members turned their faces towards me again. A different emotion rose from before.
“Where should the Ovest Knights shed their blood?”
After a moment of silence at the soft question,
“……This is Obest.”
“Ovestro.”
Eventually, voices full of pride broke the silence one by one.
“Ovest!”
“Ovest!”
Eventually, a strong force was attached to it, and a cohesive force that could never be dispersed was gathered.
“Ovest!”
The shouts of the members became one. Their eyes facing me sparkled like stars.
“That’s right. We will all return to Ovest proudly and safely.”
I also seem to have a little affection for these guys. How can you compare the eyes of these black men to stars?
“If anyone gets hurt, then I will kill them with my own hands.”
I deliberately spit it out coldly to hide my intention to become soft.
Despite this, smiles did not leave the members’ faces. Is it because he knows that what I say is not sincere?
“Then go.”
He flipped his cloak over and turned away from them. Conrad followed right next to me as I took the lead.
“young master.”
“why.”
“Thank you.”
His voice was small but clearly flowed into my ears.
“You seem to be very different from Captain Diego.”

“Of course.”
Despite the sour response, Conrad smiled.
“I’m really glad that you are leading this subjugation war.”
“Do you know that now?”
“Yes, I realized it too late.”
Conrad’s eyes wandered into the distance.
“No one has ever told us we can run away.”
He was not groping for the battlefield in front of him, but somewhere in the past in his memories.
“I was always pushed to the limit and had to test the limits of my limits.”
“…….”
“Some days, while I was going to bed, I prayed that tomorrow would never come.”
Conrad’s voice was sad and calm.
“I have a feeling that many things will change on the day you return to the territory.”
After speaking, his expression became much more relaxed. The face, filled with genuine trust, looked much better, although it was still scary.
“Take the lead. I will follow.”
Conrad took a step back. The members naturally moved to the side and formed a formation.
There were no commands or conversation, but the meaning was communicated only through the look of eyes.
“…….”
Even ahead of a dangerous battle, the atmosphere of the Ovest Knights was calm.
Although it had sharper flesh than usual, it was neatly stored and was extremely pure.
Not only the formation, but the energy itself seemed to form a well-forged spear.
‘… … ‘I didn’t know you would be this kind to me.’
How can the atmosphere change so much with just a few words of speech? My shoulders naturally shrugged at my excellent eloquence.
“Is everyone ready?”
However, he did not show any such hint and showed a serious appearance on the outside.
“yes!”
After answering, the eyes of the Ovest Knights looked into the distance.
Grrrr!
Kikekeke!
Wow!
Kinus, Referee, Gatineau.
In addition to the monsters I had seen so far, other types of monsters were rushing together.
The distance was close enough that everyone could now see them.
“Prepare the first row of archers!”
Mikel’s voice came from overhead.
“10, 9, 8.”
The members grabbed their swords and took a deep breath.
“7, 6, 5.”
Not long after those arrows fly, you will have to clash with them.
“4, 3, 2.”
At the time when I also strengthened the hand holding the sword,
“1. Fire!”
Countless fire arrows split across the pitch-black sky. After drawing a red arc like a shooting star falling.
Puff puff puff!
The dull sounds of arrows piercing muscle and flesh were heard one after another.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
“Kkeek!”
Among the monsters hit by arrows, several died.
The archers’ skills were amazing, and even from this distance they pierced a significant percentage of their chests. Some arrows pierced several bodies at once.
“Crrrrrrrrr!”
The arrow’s flames caught the monsters’ fur.
The disgusting smell of burning fur and flesh began to spread. At the same time, the dark plain became brightly lit here and there.
“Kyaaaaak!”
“Whoa!”
The remaining monsters that dodged the arrows charged even more fiercely.
“Prepare the second row of archers!”
Mikel was not embarrassed and sent out the next archers who were waiting.
Puff puff!
The number of monsters has decreased once again. At the same time, their speed increased and their accuracy also decreased.
Puff! Puff puff!
The archers continued to fire arrows without stopping.
“Girl!”
The monsters eventually began to disperse to avoid being pierced by arrows all at once.
“Damn it, they’re spreading out!”
“Is everyone ready yet?”
I hear Mikel and others shouting behind me,
“Kyaak!”
“Kikeke!”
The monsters letting out ferocious shouts got closer by the minute.
There is not much time left for the archers to act now. If your allies and enemies are mixed together, you won’t be able to shoot your bow.
“coming!”
Conrad bit his lip.
The monsters’ red and yellow eyes, foul-smelling mouths, and rough hairs.
When all that came into view,
“Sweet!”
The battle began with my sword piercing one of the large men in the lead.
“Keeek!”
“Girl!”
Likewise, the sounds of monsters slitting their throats could be heard from both sides. They couldn’t take a single step in front of the Ovest Knights’ sword.
‘Yes, that’s right.’
I believed it would be like that too. She had no fears or worries.
All that comes to mind is the usual confident smile.
“Kill!”
“Kill them all!”
The members gritted their teeth and killed all the monsters in front of them.
Stabbing the chest, cutting the throat, piercing the head.
All movements became highly precise and sharp. In order not to waste a single breath, the members pushed their concentration to the limit.
“uh?”
“what?”
Then, suddenly, intermittent questioning voices were heard among the members.
“what?”
“Is that strange?”
They moved their bodies and wrinkled their noses in confusion.
“Why are you doing that?”
Conrad, who had just cut down a monster, asked.
“Something is strange, vice-captain!”
Roland answered after piercing the monster’s heart.
“what are you talking about?”
“What is the body….”
Roland tilted his head and killed the next monster in succession. Conrad’s eyes widened as he glanced at that figure.
“Wait a minute, Roland. That habit?”
“yes?”
“That habit of bending your body to the left….”
Conrad’s words became increasingly blurred.
“Keeeeek!”
While he was distracted for a moment, a monster rushed at him.
Suddenly!
“What are you blanking on?”
When I scolded him for cutting him in half, Conrad looked back at me with a dumbfounded look on his face.
“Master, by any chance?”
“Do you understand now?”
I don’t move aimlessly.
The reason I spent time sparring with the members was to get rid of their bad habits.
‘Oh, of course, there was also an attempt to control the military.’
And to relieve some stress and vent.
Sigh! puck! Suddenly!
Indeed, the members’ movements were much neater than before.
Unnecessary movements were reduced, and the sword could be wielded more efficiently.
“Huh?”
“Wow, why am I like this?”
Those who felt the change let out a low exclamation. This is because killing monsters has become twice as easy.
For me, who had already experienced the ultimate in Obest swordsmanship, refining the members’ swordsmanship was simple.
Fill in the missing parts and tuck in the parts that are sticking out.
Truly customized correction. With a little(?) violence.
‘Now we’re finally seeing results.’
The battles that had taken place so far were not that difficult, so it was not an environment that could raise the potential of the members.
But now, you are cornered, and just one tiny difference can mean the difference between life and death.
wickedness!
“Whoa, whoo.”
The members fought desperately and fiercely, just like when they were sparring with me.
That is what has led to the current growth.
“As expected, young master….”
Conrad continued to be amazed and continued the battle.
In this way, the spear called Ovest Knights faithfully guarded the line.
Killed and killed again. He stood still and did not take a single step back.
The corpses of the monsters we killed formed a mountain. And the mountain only got higher and higher.
“Damn, there’s no end!”
“There are too many!”
The human body has limitations.
Unlike me, who was killing monsters at the same speed as the first time, the members’ fingertips began to become dull little by little.
“Everyone, just hold on a little longer!”
“You can’t collapse here!”
Mikel and the Nord Knights who joined later helped, but it was not enough.
“Girl!”
The monsters that poured in without stopping eventually began to eat away at the tip of the spear called Ovest.
“Ugh!”
Finally, the end of the line collapsed, and one of the members fell to the ground.
“no!”
“Klaus!”
The members’ necks suddenly turned.
“wake up!”
“Get up quickly!”
They could not bear to leave the line and had to keep swinging their arms. Only anxious gazes were directed in that direction.
“Kyaaaaak!”
Then, finally, it was the time when a monster found an opening and was about to rush in.
Suddenly!
Blood splattered over Klaus’ face.
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
Joshua, the commander of the Imperial Palace Knights, appeared, cutting off the guy’s leg. Other knights also defeated the monster and took its place.
Even though I prepared in a hurry, I joined fairly quickly.
“You all came so quickly.”
Of course, it wasn’t to my liking.
“You didn’t even listen to what I said earlier.”
If you had heard me earlier that the enemies were coming, we wouldn’t have had to suffer like this.
“……Keuhum, hmmm.”
“A risk, hmm.”
People looked at the distant mountains with embarrassed faces at my reprimand.
