Episode 663
“…Jeonju?”
“Ji, what are you talking about now?”
“Why are you giving this mission to the Great Lord of Gwangpung…”
The immediate executives who only trusted Balder couldn’t understand the sudden situation and closed their eyes blankly.
“Didn’t you all put your hands down saying you wouldn’t do it?”
Balder answered bluntly and shook his head.
“I was just trying to pass the opportunity that was given to me to that guy.”
He put down his hands and frowned, asking why you were questioning him.
“B-but that guy. No, the Great Lord of Gwangpung is a collateral power!”
“Why are you giving the Great Lord Gwangpung a chance to make a contribution?…”
“Lord Jeon! Please reconsider!”
“Actually, I don’t like collateral either. But…”
Balder glanced down at the many executives and then tilted his chin.
“I like people with ability and spirit.”
Balder turned his gaze to Raon and blinked his left eye once again.
“Ugh….”
Raon looked at Balder and his shoulders trembled. Balder, who looked more ignorant than anyone here, winked, and goosebumps appeared on my forearms.
-Why is that ogre doing that?
Lars wrinkled his nose as if he was offended.
‘I don’t know…’
Balder is a person who can’t help but dislike me, even if it’s not as much as Karun.
Even if they started an argument first, they couldn’t have a good relationship because they beat their son, Raiden, to the point where he was on the verge of ruin.
Seeing him suddenly trying to take care of the mission, it was clear that he had something up his sleeve.
‘But…’
I can’t predict what that guy is thinking.
It wasn’t like he was secretly taking care of me, but he was supporting me where everyone else was, so I couldn’t read his thoughts.
Sieghardt’s pride was hurt that he could not understand the simplest of Balder’s psychology.
“Keuhum!”
Chad cleared his throat lightly to brighten the mood.
“So, Jinmu Jeonju is saying that you want to hand over the mission of subjugating monsters to the Gwangpungdae?”
“Yes.”
Balder said that’s exactly what he said and hit the round table with his palm.
“Lord Gwangpung.”
Chad nodded and turned his gaze to Raon.
“Would you like to accept the mission to subdue the monster that Lord Jinmu Jeon has handed over to you?”
He lowered his left eyebrow slightly, as if telling him to accept it unconditionally.
“Hmm…”
Raon didn’t answer right away, but glanced at Chad and Balder’s eyes in turn.
‘Will it be okay?’
Both Chad and Balder were suspicious people, so I started to worry about whether I could really accept this mission.
However, as Balder might know, Chad is not an idiot. There’s no way he would pull an obvious trick like this.
“Can I ask you one question before taking on the mission?”
Raon exhaled calmly and looked at Balder.
“Try it.”
Balder nodded as if telling him to do as he pleased.
“Do you know why you are handing over the mission to me?”
“Didn’t you say it at the beginning? “I like guys with ability and spirit.”
He tapped the round table with his fingers and raised his eyebrows.
“The answer is simple. “I think you can handle that mission better than anyone else here.”
Balder blinked his left eye again. It was so awkward to see my eyelids fluttering.
“You will accept it, right?”
Balder nodded as if he thought there was no such thing as rejection.
“Hmm…”
Raon licked his lips while looking at Balder. After hearing the story, I felt confident.
‘It is extremely unlikely that it was a trick.’
Balder saw Karun, who had been beaten by Glenn while using a crude trick, right in front of his eyes.
No matter how stupid he was, there was no way he would do something so blatant.
“I will take it.”
Raon nodded, looking at Chad.
“Then the Gwangpungdae will be in charge of the monster subjugation mission.”
Chad quickly finished assigning the mission before anyone could object.
“Do well.”
Balder raised his thumb and winked again as if he believed it.
-Isn’t that a magnesium deficiency?
Lars shook his head, saying it was his first time seeing such an ugly wink.
‘Hmm…’
Raon looked away and chewed his lip.

‘It’s not a trap, why am I anxious?’
I felt like I needed to prepare well.

“Balder.”
After the executive meeting, when Balder was about to return to Jinmujeon, Denier called him.
“Let’s talk for a moment.”
“What?”
Balder frowned, telling me to speak quickly as if there was something urgent.
“What kind of wind is blowing?”
Denier narrowed his eyes as he approached Balder.
“If you hate Raon so much because of Raiden’s work, why are you suddenly trying to help me?”
“It was a long time ago.”
Balder shrugged his shoulders while facing Denier.
“If you think about it, it’s true that Raiden started an argument with Sylvia first.”
“Even if that were the case, you wouldn’t have the will to help?”
“I’m kind of liking Raon these days.”
“what?”
Denier’s eyes widened as if he had heard an unexpected sound.
“It was fun to shake things off when the comedy festival came, and what happened after that was also refreshing. “Haegeomji becomes cool just by existing.”
Balder smiled as he recited the things Raon had done one by one.
“You must have hated collateral, right?”
“There’s something my father said once when Raiden and Raon were having a sword fight.”
He looked up at Gajujeon and raised his finger.
“responsibility. He said that as the true owner of Sieghart, he must be responsible for his every action and every word. Raon now has more responsibility than anyone else in Sieghart.”
Balder continued speaking while stroking the sword on his belt.
“We exalted Sieghard’s name and trampled on the enemy. “If you’re a prosecutor Sieghardt, you have to live like that.”
He seemed to have strong convictions and did not hesitate.
“So you drove me on a mission?”
Denier nodded as if he understood to some extent.
“Of course that’s not everything.”
Balder laughed and shook his chin.
“Did you hear that Raon created the highest level of martial arts?”
“You mean Gwangpungryu?”
“okay. that.”
He turned his gaze toward the annex.
“You gave Hwigwangryu to the annex and Gwangpungryu to Gwangpungdae. “There are many strong martial arts people, but the martial arts that suit that person are rare.”
Balder took a long sip as if he was craving it.
“That guy is an uneducated genius! “It is also the rarest type of genius that creates martial arts that is suitable for that person.”
His eyes were shiny blue.
“With such a genius next to me, I can’t just leave him alone. “I should ask you to make my martial arts sword!”
Balder laughed, saying he might be able to break the wall leading to transcendence.
“So you’re joining Raon?”
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
He frowned deeply.
“Why is this body attached to Raon? “It’s just mutual aid!”
Balder shook his head, saying that since he helped him, he could only ask him to create a military academy.
“I haven’t given up on being the head of the family yet. But…”
He looked at Denier and frowned.
“You sound like Raon shouldn’t be the head of the family.”
“I didn’t really mean it that way, but didn’t you?”
Denier met Balder’s eyes with calm eyes.
“I’m not?
Balder shook his head resolutely.
“As I said before, even if I don’t become the head of the family, if someone who can lead the family better than me becomes the head of the family, I will accept it. “It doesn’t matter if it’s you, your eldest brother, or Raon.”
He answered with eyes as serious and straight as his physique.
“okay. Right.”
Denier nodded as if he now understood.
“How is your brother? “He’s only pretending to be nice, but deep down, he’s aiming to become the head of the family.”
“Well…”
Denier smiled softly.
“I’m a little different from your older brother, who absolutely has to be the head of the family, and from you, who don’t mind handing it over to someone else.”
“What does that mean? Explain in an easy-to-understand way!”
Balder frowned as if he did not understand.
“It’s something you don’t really need to know.”
Denier said that and turned his back.
“And just in case…”
He looked at Balder again and raised his finger.
“Don’t ask Raon to make you a martial arts student just because you helped me today. “You will be kicked out.”
“uh? no?”
Balder blinked as if he was planning on going to the annex right away.
“Making Muhak is not an easy task, and Raon’s liking for you is probably at an all-time low, so what are you going to do now?”
Denier sighed as if he knew that would happen.
“Then can I help you one more time?”
Balder laughed, saying it would be okay then.
“This isn’t about numbers. “You can’t do it five times!”
Denier could not stand it anymore and raised his voice.
“okay. Then six times!”
“Huh…”
As soon as he heard Balder’s refreshing answer, he lowered his shoulders as if he had given up.
“…Do whatever you want.”
“This makes it feel like the old days.”
Balder laughed as he looked at Denier, who was tired of Zepul.
“These days, I’ve just been on bad form. “It’s the same.”
“Whew…”
Denier shook his head.
“Simplicity is one of your weapons. Just keep walking.”
With those words, he left for the place where Hyeonmujeon was located.
“I told you to say it easily.”
Balder looked at Denier leaving and snorted.

The next day.
Raon finished preparing to go on a mission and climbed onto the stage of the 5th training camp.
I looked down at the entire area of Gwangpungdae with my back covered.
Although it had not been that long since they learned Gwangpungryu, the swordsmen’s momentum had reached an even higher level. It was evident that he had been training day and night.
I stood at the end of the podium with pride on my lips.
“This mission is to subdue the monster king born on Mount Divarn.”
Raon looked at Gwangpungdae with anticipation rather than tension and explained the mission once again.
“There are strong monsters like Ettin, and the number of monsters is constantly increasing, so it is the perfect opponent to test the Wild Wind Style.”
“Well, isn’t the general saying that it’s appropriate there, but be careful?”
Dorian shook his chin as if he was dumbfounded.
“Our great lord is not an ordinary person. crazy. No, you turned a little bit. No, you’re beautifully turned…?”
While explaining about Raon, Crane stuttered as if his head was stuck.
“Maybe it’s the king and the royal guard. “There is no need for you to be afraid of ordinary monsters.”
“That’s right!”
“Because we’ve grown up a lot too!”
“Not even Ouma, monsters are light!”
“okay. “If you get hit by a monster, you have to bite your tongue and die!”
Gwangpungdae nodded coolly, as if the training he had been doing every day had turned into confidence.
“You feel confident. So…”
Raon smiled as if he liked it.
“If you get even a small wound from a monster or something, or if the time to subdue it is delayed, you will be punished to the point where you will think it would be better to bite your tongue and die.”
His red eyes were shiny with blood.
“Ah…”
“Oh my…”
“I fell again!”
“crane! “Please shut up!”
Gwangpungdae realized that he had been caught in Raon’s fishing rod and screamed.
Wow!
Raon clapped his hands loudly to silence the prosecutors.
“Of course, there is training along the way.”
As he said that, he pointed to his feet.
“I’ve gotten used to using the wind style in my swordsmanship, but there are still a lot of things I’m lacking in my footwork…” “
Seo, no way…”
“That’s right. Practice incorporating the wind style into your walking style throughout the movement. Even if you have an extra sense, if you consciously call it out, it can be of greater utility.”
Gwangpungdae’s complexion turned pale at Raon’s instructions.
“Then let’s start now. “The guy running behind will hit the back of the head…”
As soon as the word “back of the head” was said, the wind troupe left the training ground with a whirlwind of wind.
“Uh…”
Rimmer noticed and smiled awkwardly.
“I-I don’t have to do it, right? “Almost cooked.”
“….”
Raon smiled brightly, lifting the sheath of his sword without answering.
“Whew! What are demons doing? “Don’t take that away!”
Rimmer ran out in tears, asking where the student who was threatening his teacher was.
-What nonsense!
Ras looked at Rimmer’s back and screamed.
-If you take this guy with you, the demon world will be ruined!
* * *
“Ugh….”
Hofen, the 5th Holy Knight leader of the Super Holy Kingdom, swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the endless wall of monsters.
‘Isn’t this really a joke?’
There is no need to sprinkle energy. The monsters’ vengeance and anger were covering the entire mountain. The number was uncountable.
‘It hasn’t been long since the news of the king’s appearance was heard, but it’s already this big…’
It’s not just the numbers. The mountain was not filled with common kobolds or goblins, but with mid- to upper-level monsters.
‘If things continue like this, we will be annihilated.’
If medium to large sized monsters had this much number and force, they would not be able to approach the king and his royal guard.
The only way now was to retreat.
“retreat! “Everyone retreat!”
Hoppen stepped forward, giving the knights and soldiers time to fall back.
‘I can’t die anymore.’
In Varennes, where the festival of the Holy Spirit was held, Baiton, the commander of the knights, and many knights died. I couldn’t lose the knights here again.
“There are monsters behind, behind!”
“It looks like we’ve been under siege from the bottom of the mountain!”
The paladins who had moved to open the road returned with their troops, their lips quivering.
“Damn it…”
Hopen chewed his lip as he felt the monster’s fierceness coming from behind.
‘The king must be on the mountain, but is there another head?’
There is no way ordinary monsters could lay siege like this. It was clear that there was someone else giving orders.
‘There was a reason why contact with the leader was lost.’
Everyone died.
The search party that went up first for reconnaissance included a knight who had reached the level of Master.
I thought it was strange that I couldn’t contact them, but now that I look at it, it’s clear that they were wiped out.
‘I can’t help it.’
I gave up on saving everyone and changed my plan to saving as many people as possible.
“From now on, I will stand in front! “Loosen the square and switch to a breakthrough formation!”
Hoppen extended his strength towards the path with the fewest monsters. The blade, engulfed in holy light, cut the wall of monsters in half.
“rush!”
As soon as the road was clear, he ran down the mountain, giving orders. He stretched out his strength one after another, making it impossible for the monsters to fill the space again.
Ki hee hee.
When I got down to the point where I could see the bottom of the mountain, I heard a strange laughter sound and the ground suddenly collapsed.
Coooooo!
I stopped, stepped back, and turned my head to see the troll shaman waving a staff made of human bone.
“this guy!”
As Hofen moved to cut down the shaman, monsters began blocking the path again.
Coooooo!
The troll shaman seemed to know the distance beyond the reach of the river, and cast a spell from a distance, crushing the knights and soldiers with rocks.
“Stop!”
Hofen sharpened his strength and delivered a long-distance slash, but the troll shaman retreated quickly and attacked only with magic.
Judging by the fact that he was able to measure distances well, he was a very intelligent guy.
‘It was that guy…’
I think it was that guy who laid siege to the monsters and put pressure on them. Now that I look at it, the skin color is different. This was no ordinary troll shaman.
‘If I use all my strength on that guy, I won’t be able to go down…’
If I use all my strength, I will kill the troll shaman, but I am also in danger. Because the battle had been going on for a long time, there wasn’t much energy left.
‘There is no way!’
Hoppen bit his lip. As the leader of the Holy Knights, he had to save his subordinates even if it meant killing himself. I pulled out all the remaining energy and built up a strong energy.
Sssssssssssssshhhh!
It was time to break through the siege and cut off the troll shaman’s head.
Wooooow.
The troll shaman’s body became blurred and disappeared like a ghost. It was a spell that contained illusions. Completely fooled.
Kihihihi!
The troll shaman who appeared next to the soldiers chuckled. Burning rocks erupted from his hand and began to fall on the heads of the knights and soldiers.
‘Damn it!’
Hoppen’s chin trembled. Because it was an urgent situation, proper judgment could not be made.
“no!”
I screamed and stretched out my hand, but it was too far away.
It was a time when my heart tightened as I felt the death of my subordinates.
Whoa!
A blue wind blew that seemed to erase the darkness of the mountain, and the head of the troll shaman who was laughing at the humans fell off.
After that, swordsmen engulfed in pure energy came out and began slaughtering the monsters.
“die!”
“It’s all gone!”
However, rather than being knights who achieve salvation, they wielded their swords like demons seeking revenge.
“W-what…”
Hopen’s eyes trembled and he finally saw the swordsman walking up. Blonde red eyes. He was a man with a radiance darker than the sun, and he was an unforgettable warrior even after seeing him once.
“Raon Sieghardt!”
“Rades.”
Raon, who wore a more noble appearance than the one I saw in Varene, gracefully kissed his lips.
“Bite everything.”
“….”
