25. Long Leg Grass
“We’re going to go through the grass like this and follow the traces of the scouting party. how is it?”
When I looked again, the scout squad leader’s eyes were shining brightly when he said this.
It is a mixture of anticipation, confidence, and appropriate tension.
It was a new day.
In conclusion, the trip was a failure.
After Encred opened his eyes, he greeted the new day by thinking about the day.
‘Where did it go wrong?’
Maybe going east was a mistake.
‘No, I think it was okay up to that point.’
Recovering is Encred’s habit.
As he bounced east, he encountered the crossbow unit again and fell down with a bunch of bolts stuck in his body.
He fell to the floor, writhed, and died when a bolt hit his head.
I don’t even want to think about the pain of that time again.
But if you don’t repeat this, you will continue to die. I hate that even more.
Recovering, looking back over and over again to find the problem. Encred repeated his thoughts.
‘I could hear it, so I took the opportunity first.’
I caught an alien sound.
Learning from Saxony was helpful.
Afterwards, the heart of the beast made him look at the situation calmly.
I had to pick one side and drill through it.
Although I failed.
‘If I do it again.’
I think I can do it. Rather than being caught by the pursuing unit, I was unlucky enough to encounter the waiting unit.
‘I guess I just need to get back on track.’
As I was lost in thought, someone tapped my shoulder from next to me.
It was Enri.
Encred thought he had been too preoccupied.
“Just take a quick look around and that’s it, so just be patient.”
Why are you telling me to keep holding back?
“Because you don’t look good.”
As Enri spoke, she pointed forward with her eyes.
As I looked forward, I made eye contact with a grim-looking soldier following behind the squad leader.
Although it looks like it’s going to be rude, it’s probably not something to start a fight with.
‘Seeing that you are asking for understanding from the squad leader, you seem to be a sensible person.’
You are probably thinking that by now you should take the opportunity to teach yourself well.
Perhaps deciding that the situation was not conducive to talking, the grim-looking soldier avoided his gaze first.
Encred nodded to Enri, saying he understood, and walked on.
I went inside, wiping away the grass with my hands.
Soon a familiar sight appears before my eyes. The green long-legged grass severely restricted visibility.
It’s definitely not a good idea to ambush someone inside here. It would not be something you would normally do, risking your life to go in here.
‘What if I don’t go in here in the first place?’
That’s not possible.
Scouting the Longari Grass Field is the reason and purpose of this unit.
How can you ignore that and go back and say something?
You noticed an enemy ambush before you even entered?
No matter how you change the direction of reconnaissance.
The ten people here will surely kiss your words.
can not avoid. Usually, the new ‘today’ was always like this.
But if you ask me, it’s difficult.
‘not bad.’
Although we only had a proper fight once.
Enri looked at herself and asked what kind of lowest-level soldier that was.
The squad leader belittled himself.
‘Practical.’
It was only one battle, but that one experience was valuable.
The heart of the beast gave me no time to panic.
I swung my sword and stabbed, splitting the gap.
He made moves by predicting the opponent’s behavior patterns.
I used what I learned in the meantime.
Excited.
My heart is racing. It felt like something exhilarating was going through my body.
‘It’s a good opportunity.’
Before leaving on a reconnaissance mission, Rem and Ragna took turns examining his sword skills.
What I learned from them.
What I realized alone.
It’s perfect for digesting everything.
“Do you see here? Where the grass lies?”

“It’s an animal footprint.”
Encred is a man who knows how to use what he has learned.
He pretended to know.
Enri looked at Encred, rolled his eyes and asked.
“Do you have any hunting experience?”
does not exist. It was something I learned from Enri.
“I just heard something back and forth.”
That’s what I heard from Enri.
After answering honestly, we continued our trivial conversation.
Then, I slowed down my steps a little and walked forward.
Right behind the squad leader.
Encred was currently assessing the formation of the scouting party.
This is something I didn’t pay much attention to before.
The squad leader is in front, two to the right and two to the left.
Immediately behind the squad leader is a soldier with a scary appearance.
The rest followed like a rear guard.
‘I mean, he’s not just a nerd.’
The formation was plausible.
A good form to respond to if an enemy appears.
If you encounter a unit armed with crossbows, formations will be of little use.
On this day of death, the scout squad leader no longer acted foolishly.
I silently followed Encred’s lead.
His sword skills were also quite good.
The soldier with a scary appearance was a very skilled soldier.
‘At least intermediate level or higher.’
If you look at it at the level of a Naurilian soldier, that’s true.
The squad leader and the scary-looking soldiers.
Both have decent skills.
Enri wasn’t bad either. Walking with a short bow in his left hand, he knew how to shoot arrows in rapid fire.
That doesn’t mean you can survive while dodging dozens of bolts, though.
‘Avoid crossbow units at all costs.’
Encred deliberately walked close behind the squad leader.
As if he was watching the squad leader’s thoughts, the grim-looking soldier did not speak to him.
Booth. Sigh! Crunchy.
And then I heard the same sound again.
“Bow.”
First, he grabbed the squad leader by the neck and threw him back.
At first, only four escaped alive.
This time I will save it a little more.
“Ugh!”
The squad leader fell backwards and let out something similar to a scream.
“It’s the enemy!”
The enemy shouted. Soon the bolt flew.
Meanwhile, Encred kicked two of our soldiers in the stomach in order.
A bolt flew over the head of the fallen soldier.
Encred also lowered his body closely, spreading his feet back and forth.
A grasshopper in front of me seemed to be surprised and quickly jumped away.
Encred tore his legs back and forth, then stood up with the elasticity of his thigh muscles and erector spinae muscles and threw the throwing knife.
Bang! The knife tore through the air.
The knife split the air. Although it didn’t hit anything, it did make the enemy flinch for a moment.
A short gap, that was enough.
Sigh.
I stretched my elbow back and lightly hit the squad leader’s forehead.
“Come to your senses.”
He says and jumps forward.
Faba Park.
He tramples the dirt and grass and pulls out his sword. Hold the stance while pulling out and stab with one hand.
‘Full focus.’
You must have the intention to pierce, but your muscles should not lose strength after piercing. How do you have strength left when you stab with all your might?
“You have to have a feel for it. How do you get persimmons? continue. “You just have to keep doing it.”
This is what Rem said during sparring.
Encred was digesting it right here and now.
puck!
The tip of the sword pierced the opponent’s chest.
Twist and pull out.
The blade that split the muscles, nerves, and heart was pulled out.
He pretended to swing sideways, then narrowed the distance, swung his foot, and kicked another enemy soldier’s shin.
This is an enemy soldier who was just about to take aim with a crossbow.
“Knock!”
The soldier who was hit lowered his head without realizing it, and Encred hit the back of the prone soldier’s head with his pommel.
Kwasik!
The movement was like hitting a flimsy leather helmet with a blunt object.
I felt the sensation of firmly splitting raw wood through my fingertips.
After defeating the two guys. I saw a guy wearing thicker cloth armor than usual on his body and carrying a large round shield running towards me.
Ping ping ping!
Enri shot three arrows in rapid fire.
But the arrow could not pierce the armor.
No blood oozes from the puncture site. One clumsy arrow swayed up and down and fell to the ground.
Because I was shooting too quickly, I wasn’t able to utilize the tension of the bow properly.
Encred quickly changed his grip to his left hand and swung it like that.
Kah-ah!
The edge of the blade and shield met and sparks flew out.
Although the shield frame was dented, Encred’s hands also felt numb.
“Kaaah!”
The enemy soldiers roared and attacked Encred’s head.
Excited.
A place where a moment of inattention can lead to death.
If you panic, you die.
That is the battlefield.
It was at moments like these that the heart of the beast shined.
The boldness that makes you calm even in the middle of the battlefield.
Because the heart is made of thick muscles and does its job.
Encred was able to see exactly the trajectory of the shield being struck.
“Watch carefully and avoid well.”
This is Rem’s teaching.
Look and avoid.
“There is no useless part of the sword. “I use everything from the handle to the tip of the sword.”
This is Ragnar’s teaching.
Encred watched carefully and then retreated at just the right moment.
With a bang, the shield passed in front of my nose, and the wind blew my hair.
“Whoop, whoop!”
The guy who struck down the shield strengthened his muscles and raised the shield again.
Rough breathing could be heard beyond the shield.
I could see that the other person was very nervous through his breathing and shoulder movements.
He rolls his eyes sticking out from above the shield and watches Encred.
If you hit the shield, the fight will be prolonged.
Encred threw the sword and held it so that the handle was up and the blade was in his hand.
He changed his grip and swung with all his might by rotating his hips and knees.
This was done before the enemy holding the shield could do anything.
Whoop, whoop!
Soon, under the jagged blade of the sword, the tip of the bridge of the nose was stuck in the opponent’s eye.
Blood burst out of my eyes.
Clear water flowed along with the blood.
“Kwaaaak!”
The one-eyed soldier screamed.
Encred pulled out the shortsword with his bleeding hands, thanks to holding the blade.
It turns one-eyed and sticks the blade into the glowing opponent’s neck, then pulls it out.
Pop!
Blood spurted out in sync with the movement. Gurgling, blood foaming from his neck, the shield soldier fell to the floor.
“Here!”
Because it was a series of incredible scenes.
Everyone was shocked and couldn’t keep their mouths shut as they looked at Encred.
How many people did you kill in a short period of time?
Encred retrieved the sword that stabbed the opponent’s eye.
Even the handle of the sword was covered in blood.
I roughly wiped it away and moved on.
This time the number that followed him was six.
Two more people were saved.
“… … What are you.”
While running, the scout squad leader who was next to me asked.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
It would be better to run while saying this.
Encred ran east again.
Afterwards, he knocked down and killed every enemy he saw.
This time I went deeper than before.
‘I took the wrong direction.’
I was sure it wasn’t the east.
This time I met fifty spearmen.
Fifty trained spearmen are the size of a platoon.
Just the three of us couldn’t deal with it.
We lost the rest on the way, and only the reconnaissance squad leader and an unsightly soldier remained.
“That was unlucky.”
A grim-looking soldier spoke.
“shit.”
The scout squad leader looked around and cried.
Encred.
“I’m taking five.”
I made up my mind and took the plunge.
From the other party’s point of view, he must have been a crazy person.
You see fifty spearmen and attack them?
In the eyes of the group of spearmen, this was completely crazy.
It might be true if you are a knight or belong to an order of knights.
What is this?
You could tell that he knew how to fight by seeing him use a sword, but not at a great level.
At best, I should sound like a skilled soldier.
It couldn’t have been seen as normal to attack someone without caring for their own life.
Encrid rushed in like that and killed three spearmen.
And he died by being impaled on a spear in his stomach.
Of course it hurt terribly.
I saw a long flag lying behind a group of spearmen, and that was my last memory.
* * *
“Let’s go this way. If you kill the enemy beyond the grass, it’s an achievement, right? “No, would it be better to capture him alive?”
While listening to the squad leader’s words, Encred pondered the day again.
It’s a comeback.
‘I can’t see an escape route from the east.’
Then it’s north this time.
Practical training was good nourishment.
This is the same opinion of Rem and Ragna, who are not on good terms with each other.
Moreover, didn’t Saxony say that too?
The best way to train your five senses is to fight for your life.
It is said that at the moment of death, human concentration breaks its limits.
Encred was in the process of proving those words himself.
‘It has increased.’
It is not arrogance, it is not arrogance.
Even if I think about it objectively, my skills have improved considerably.
And it was still growing.
In this repeated day, Encred died nine more times in the north.
Six more deaths occurred in the east.
In the west, twelve more deaths occurred.
A battle ensues.
Skills do not improve all at once. That can’t be helped.
But you can take it one step at a time calmly.
Encred felt joy again.
Because it’s still growing.
Because today is better than yesterday.
“Aaaah!”
puck!
During a repetitive day, the blade of a brave soldier’s spear brushes my cheek.
It was a blow that previous Encreds would not have been able to avoid.
It was a blow that resembled that of a stabbing soldier, but he dodged it.
It wasn’t just about avoiding it.
The countless battles instilled good habits in Encred.
He dodged and struck his sword from top to bottom.
It is a sword that strikes vertically.
Too-ung.
And at that moment, Encred felt a strange feeling.
I swung the sword down, but there was no feeling left in my hand.
No, it’s too weak.
He clearly cut off the other person’s arm, and it felt like he was cutting off a rotten tree branch.
It was that easy.
On the other hand, the opponent’s arm was cut off cleanly and flew in the air.
I couldn’t even hear a sound.
An extremely clean blow.
A sword strike that is commonly referred to as having no feeling in the hand.
A blow that those called geniuses have pulled off countless times.
“ah.”
Encred was so surprised that his concentration was broken for a moment.
It was my first time experiencing this during combat.
You can clearly feel the weight of the sword in your hand.
The thrilling sensation that remained in my hands made me feel joy.
“Ha, really.”
I’m so excited.
Laughing while covered in blood I couldn’t hold back my laughter from the overwhelming satisfaction I felt.
“You crazy bastard!”
From the enemy’s point of view, he was just a crazy bastard.
Anyway, Encred died countless times.
And I repeated this day countless times.
In that repeated day, what I learned through sparring seeped into my body.
