Chapter 6 – 6. Wolf coming over the northern mountains
[Are you saying you are waiting?]
Skal let out a puzzled voice at my words. He was acting like he hadn’t thought about it at all, so I answered calmly.
“If the leader of the barbarian people is the one I know, Darius will not be able to hold out for long and will come down the ridge and engage in another defensive battle in the city of North Weden.”
[But if that happens, the safety of citizens… … .]
“You probably don’t have the energy to care.”
If you don’t stop the immigrants from coming over, the family itself will be shaken.
This is a family that has made a living solely by force, but since that is in a shaky situation, they will probably try to survive by sucking up the blood of the citizens.
“I’ll be back soon. “The only way to find out that the animal you thought was a groundhog is actually a wolf is to bite it.”
Although I only saw him for a short period of three months, the Darius I saw was not a very great general.
The type that may be an excellent warrior, but cannot be an outstanding commander.
That type of person would usually never be able to defeat someone who was more powerful than them.
‘It will definitely come back after defeat.’
Until then, all I could do was wait quietly and prepare my negotiating cards.

“Hold your shield! If you pass this over, the next stop is downtown North Weden! Were the northern warriors idiots who couldn’t even protect their families!”
Darius’s angry shout erupts. If it were normal times, the soldiers would have been so scared that they would have followed his orders quickly.
I didn’t have the strength to do that now.
The geographical advantage of a mountain ridge was fully utilized.
Even if there is a slight difference in weapon level due to the difference in technology, this magic does not work at all.
This area had a well-paved road from the village to the ridge, making supply easy.
There is no shortage of personnel, and it is not as if the soldiers have neglected training.
The northern giants living on the border have always trained their soldiers.
Even in terms of morale, I couldn’t even dare to compare. This is because once this is breached, the soldiers’ hometown is where their families live.
I was trying to stop it with all my might.
“Hehe!”
A strong, pungent smell of smoke.
Not the smell of gunpowder used by foreigners, but the strong smell of tobacco.
A woman who looks like a wolf, darting into the eye, blowing out cigarette smoke rather than breath.
The eyes were stained a deep red, as if they had contained so much death.
Pop!
The raised ax precisely cuts the Northwed soldier in half like chopping firewood. He slides down the mountainside without even realizing that he is dead.
“Here we come again!”
“The white wolf is running!”
Coo.
“I’m coming!”
Darius bit his teeth so hard that his blood vessels popped out, and he ended up striking forward.
I couldn’t be swayed by that woman again.
The hem of the coat flutters, leaving behind nothing but a strong tobacco scent. That woman climbed the mountain, putting out all the fire of life.
Mana is loaded into Darius’ toes as he runs downhill.
Every time I step forward with heavy steps, the surrounding trees shake as if screaming and shake off the accumulated snow.
“like?”
Findenai, a foreign woman called the White Wolf, notices a man rushing towards her like a chariot and pulls back the hand holding the axe.
“You’ve finally arrived! Margrave Darius!”
“It’s not a name you can mention without permission, you vulgar one!”
Darius’ sword and Findenai’s ax clash.
In terms of strength, Darius had the upper hand. Darius, who thought he would kill Findenai with one sword, kept pushing forward.
“Tsk tsk, what were you doing with all your strength?”
“Four bitches!”
“Did you say it hasn’t been long since you became the head of the family? It’s a shame. “He is full of blood and lacks skill.”
Finden Eye turns the ax sideways to change its trajectory from the sword. At the same time, her body glided in the snow and deflected Darius’ sword.
“Look at how much blood is rushing to my head. “If we fight like that, we will likely fall behind in the Clark Republic.”
“Why do you carelessly discuss age and prowess? Just by looking at it, you’re a bitch who’s over 20 now.”
“Hmm, twenty-seven to be exact. “I’ve been around for a while.”
Findeneye, who was tapping his shoulder with the back of an ax, exhaled tobacco smoke and laughed.
“But I guess he has a lot more experience than you?”
“dog sound! I have followed in my father’s footsteps and protected this mountain range since I first started holding a sword at the age of ten. “I’m not worthy of being compared to foreigners like you!”
Darius is hoarding his mana, saying that he will cut Findeneye in two right away, who ignored him.
The snow that had accumulated under his feet began to shed and fly away.
“Yes, I guess so. “Ever since I was 10 years old, I would have been hiding in a guard post on a safe mountain ridge and killing my compatriots who came over to live there.”
“… … .”
“You brat who pretends to be tough. That’s not called combat. It’s called hunting. How is it any different from catching a rabbit or a fox? “They’re not warriors, they’re just hunters.”
“I can’t stand any more insults.”
“insult? You are the one doing the insulting. “You lukewarm bastard who mistakes massacre for battle.”
Tuk.
Findeneye spit out the tobacco in her mouth onto the floor. The blood-red eyes were overflowing with hot murder.
“I have been running away desperately since I was born, and I have been killing people to survive since I was three years old.”
Pakak!

“Ugh!”
I couldn’t even follow the flying ax with my eyes. His shoulder armor shattered and the ax plunged into Darius’ right shoulder.
“Turn it off!”
The mana that was rising menacingly quickly dissipates and disappears due to the cold.
In front of Darius, who was suffering, the top of Findeneye’s foot was already touching him.
Wow!
A kick that flew straight in and hit the face accurately.
Darius’ body begins to tilt and fall backwards.
However, Findeneye did not stop there.
In the air where he fired the first punch, he turned around and delivered a back kick to the chest.
Crack!
Darius fell to the cold snow with the sound of his ribs crashing through his armor.
“Turn it off!”
I can’t even scream properly due to the pain and not even being able to breathe properly.
“It suits you perfectly.”
Findeneye looks down at Darius and pulls the ax out of his shoulder.
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The mountain screamed for it to go away, but Findeneye giggled and wiped the blood on the ax with its eyes.
Other immigrants followed behind her. He was holding a hunting gun, and when he saw Darius, he immediately pointed the gun at him.
“It’s okay, let it go.”
“yes? Leader, what is that?”
mercy?
A foreigner like this is showing me mercy?
Those who lived like slaves in the Clark Republic have mercy on Griffin’s Margrave himself?
I felt like my insides were being twisted, but Findenai had no intention of showing any mercy.
“Keep him alive so that another capable person doesn’t take the margrave’s place for no reason.”
“ah.”
“… … !”
Darius’ eyes were red and bloodshot. It seemed like blood would rush all the way to his head, but the bleeding in his shoulder only got worse.
“Marquis, can you report that it has been breached? At that moment, your family will lose all the privileges it has enjoyed so far?”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“I’ll give you my life. Think about it carefully. “Are you going to ask for support for the kingdom, or are you going to acquiesce for the sake of your family?”
Darius couldn’t help but tremble in humiliation as he watched Findeneye’s back, giggling as he walked towards the guard post.
The sky is pure white even though there is no snow.
Only the strong scent of tobacco remained by Darius’ side.

Just two days later.
The head of the family, Darius, returned to the mansion lying in a sick bed.
His soldiers trudged with heavy steps, and with their heads bowed and their expressions covered by their helmets, they were exactly like the remnants of the defeat.
[This is truly excellent insight.]
“… … .”
Skal let out an exclamation in admiration that my judgment was correct, but it was so natural to me that I wasn’t particularly impressed.
The interior of the mansion became commotion, and the citizens of North Weden, who saw the return of the defeated soldiers, were trembling with fear, wondering if the immigrants were coming to plunder, and demanding answers from our family.
Since I paid taxes for times like this, it would be natural.
Take in the view of downtown North Sweden outside the window. It’s noisy inside, but I can’t see a single carriage leaving outside.
“Nobody ever leaves.”
[Northerners have long had a strong attachment to their hometown.]
Like icicles frozen on the ground, they had no intention of leaving despite the invasion of foreigners, and only wanted to stay where they were.
Urgent footsteps were heard outside. I looked out the window and put on my coat.
“It’s time to leave.”
Skal bows his head deeply and sees me off.
The door, which had never been open for the past few days except during meal times, was wide open.
He urges me to come to him as if he is longing for an answer.
