Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 196

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (196)

‘The Green Dragon Knights.’

As always, Leonard, riding the flow of space distortion, was immersed in other thoughts while letting go of the feeling of heterogeneity.

Most of Cardenas’s blood relatives do not even know his name, and even blood relatives belonging to the Seven Great Knights think that the ‘Spriggan’ is the Green Dragon Knights’ archenemy. It wasn’t completely wrong, but Leonard’s perspective changed a little when he learned about the existence of the World Tree.

Even if the ‘Spriggan’ is a monster that has been fighting the Green Dragon Knights for centuries, it is merely a by-product of the world tree, Yggdrasil.

‘Ideas of worship related to sacred trees were common in my past life. The tree that the people of Haedong called Shindansu (神檀樹) also appeared in the founding myth of the nation.’

Not only has it suffered necrosis from the fangs of the foreign god [Nidhogg], but even after over a thousand years have passed, its power remains and it is capable of destroying the world. In the old days, it didn’t seem strange at all if they were truly god-level beings.

‘Arcadia and the Samgong family have already decided. They must be trying to uproot the Spriggan by treating the entire World Tree.’

The reason four leaders were mobilized was probably to kill Yggdrasil. Even though they are dead and only resentment is wandering around, if they are part of a god-level being, even if a large number of demigods attack together, it would be impossible to know whether they will win or lose.

Just being able to reach Yggdrasil was a critical matter.

〈Demon Sutra〉 Just as experienced in Nastrond, if the immortals who maintained the quantity and combat power blocked the way, it could have taken several more days just to advance 1 kilometer.

Unless Jehai had prepared some means, he would have to suffer quite a bit this time too.

and.

Faaah!

As soon as [Multi-Teleportation] reached its destination, Leonard’s eyes widened as his five senses returned to their original state.

It had to be that way.

“her… ?”

In his past life, Leonard traveled from the far and dangerous South Manchuria to the North Sea, which was said to be uninhabitable. He had seen, heard, and experienced countless things that were strange and wondrous, so he was not a person who would forget what he said or do anything about it.

However, this sight made even Leonard, who had quite a bit of experience with newspaper material in this world, keep his mouth shut.

“What the hell is that?”

It was a sight that made the owner of the long eye, who could see clearly over several kilometers, doubt his eyesight.

The horizon was moving at a very slow pace.

The wall shines with an inorganic luster like a steel mountain range, and the rolling wheels beneath the barrier, which appears to be at least 50 meters high, create hundreds of furrows at once. Even when I looked left and right, I couldn’t see where the wall started or ended.

Heather laughed when she saw Leonard’s shocked expression.

“Ahahaha! Even if it’s the leader, Leonard, doesn’t that seem interesting?”

It was a process that not only new members joining the Green Dragon Knights, but also those dispatched from other knights went through once.

A facility created by Zehire to surround ‘Spriggan’ and the world tree Yggdrasil and block their influence. Not only is it a whopping hundred kilometers long, but it is made up of dozens of layers of special metal and high-level magic, so it even neutralizes the power of the World Tree.

Mobile quarantine barrier train.

The complex and long names made it difficult to refer to them, so people stationed on this front were often referred to by simpler names.

“Barricade Train, that’s what we call it. Green Dragon members are using that barrier train as a garrison.”

The Green Dragon Knights, who do not have an area that can be called a garrison, eat and sleep on that barrier train.

Fortunately, the train, which was only 50 meters high, had enough living space and living space, and it was possible to store a large amount of supplies and carry out a delayed battle for several years.

Leonard asked a question, barely regaining his composure.

“Is there a reason why the defense line was designed so fluidly? “I think the cost of maintaining and repairing that train would be enormous.”

It was a reasonable question.

The maintenance cost of the magic engineering ship he saw in Atlantis alone took up more than half of the adventure team’s budget. But what about a super-large train with a total length of up to a hundred kilometers, with dozens of high-level magic circles engraved on special metal?

If it had been a castle wall fixed in place, the entire process from construction to maintenance could have been covered at less than 10% of the cost.

Of course, the Zehaire family didn’t do what they did without a reason.

“What Leonard said is not wrong. “Most of the power of the Zehire family is concentrated on the barrier train, so their contribution to other fronts is limited to supply and maintenance.”

However, Heather reversed my words and continued to explain.

“The power of Yggdrasil is not its own combat power or Spriggan. The real threat is the power to change life and create an ecosystem polluted with death. So on this front, how much land you occupy is more important than how many enemies you kill.”

“… That’s why the barrier train was created.”

“Yes, Yggdrasil says the wider its territory, the stronger it becomes.”

Although it is a god-level being, its natural behavior is like that of a tree.

As the roots dig deeper and spread wider, the influence expands and the output of status and authority increases.

If the Green Dragon Knights and the Zehire family had simply continued to exterminate the ‘Spriggan’, the scope of Yggdrasil’s influence would have expanded and deteriorated to a level that the Empire could not conceal.

We have been able to suppress it so far because we built a barrier train and blockaded the entire area, and we repeatedly advanced and retreated fluidly.

“According to the records left by the seniors of the Green Dragon Knights, the barrier train retreated less than 500 meters from three centuries ago. “It held up well, but it kept getting pushed back.”

As I explained from above the wolf running on the barrier train, it seemed like Heather’s words and hair were fluttering up and down.

Leonard was once again amazed by the size of the barrier train approaching beyond her. Although it was said to have inherited the lineage of the Dverg, a high-ranking race from the past, it was not on a scale that could have been built by humans.

If even the royal tombs and pyramids of the Western Xia were built next to that wall, they would look like a shabby shoal.

“Heather??!”

A knight who was looking around from above, probably seeing a wolf approaching the barrier train, cried out loudly. No matter how many people had distinct personalities, when it came to the girl riding the giant wolf, there was no candidate other than Heather.

Heather also waved her palm as if responding to the call.

“yes?! Green Dragon Knight Header! “You’re back?!”

“You can come up as is?!”

“All right?!”

Because the physical distance was so far, both sides had no choice but to shout. The moment Leonard laughed at the crude communication method, Heather patted Xian Lang on the back three times.

It was a signal that had been established between her and the wolf as they roamed the battlefield together for years.

At the same time, the thighs of the wolf that had reached the nearest distance of the barrier train greatly expanded, and even the energy flowing in its body was infused, demonstrating an unimaginable leaping ability.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The wolf, showing off its incredible jumping ability, jumped onto the train, carving out a crater with a radius of several meters on the ground.

It was the highest level of light engineering, a majesty like the power of a powerful spirit. He jumped a height of 50 meters in one go, making it difficult for even a transcendental expert to follow. This was also possible because it was a beast-type spirit creature whose leg strength was several times stronger than that of a human.

‘It’s wider and more stable than what you see from below. ‘I can’t even imagine how amazing the craftsmanship was.’

While Leonard was admiring this, Heather, who got down at the same time as the wolf landed, saluted the senior knight.

“Green Dragon Knight Heather! I returned after completing my mission. “I have to report to the leader, but do you know the location?”

“Captain, you are in the conference room of Area C-7, negotiating with the elder of Jehaire regarding supplies. “Go that way.”

“yes! thank you!”

After discovering the location of the Green Dragon Knight Commander, Heather boarded the Xian Lang again and began running quickly as if she had been waiting for the ride.

“… Is it okay to ride on the train?”

“It’s not narrow enough to bump into anyone, so it’s okay! “He’s agile enough to avoid everything!”

Wow! Xian Lang, denying Leonard’s concerns, ran toward Area C-7, making several leaps and changes in direction.

It wasn’t that far from the point where their group had climbed.

The wolf that had brought them to their destination in an instant bowed down, and Heather and Leonard got down side by side. In the end, it was impossible to enter the inside of the barrier train by riding a wolf.

“Are you okay waiting here? “It won’t take long.”

Hearing Heather’s words as she stroked the bridge of his nose, he nodded and became sullen and curled up in the corner, curling his tail.

Because it is so large, it blocks traffic if it is in the middle of the road. Seeing that it seemed intelligent and gentle as expected from a spirit creature, Leonard also petted it once and followed behind Heather.

As I walked down the stairs extending downward, the noise and vibration above died down and a space filled with silence appeared.

“Is it a magic circle?”

“I heard so. “If you don’t do anything, even the engines inside the train will vibrate and it will be very noisy.”

“indeed.”

As they exchange trivial stories, they get closer to the place where the Green Dragon Knight Commander is said to be staying.

It wasn’t long before Leonard sensed the presence.

Having encountered demigod-level beings several times, it was not difficult to read their presence that was revealed without any intention of hiding it.

‘I guess I came to the right place.’

Its unique presence is overflowing and putting pressure on the world. It wasn’t as unique as Damien, as strong as Wade, or as creepy as Audrey.

A persistent yet gloomy power.

Even if we do not know the peculiarities that Uruka, the leader of the Green Dragon Knights, deals with, the threat will never be a concept that is revealed on the surface.

Leonard deduced this through intuition and walked slowly.

“This way!”

Unlike him, Heather, who could not read signs of opposition, took the lead and led the way.

As they got closer to the conference room in Area C-7, they heard two people’s voices, and they stopped without hesitation.

However, they were not talented people who could not feel the popularity.

“Is it Heather? “Bring him in.”

“Ah yes!”

Hearing the words of the man presumed to be Uruka, Heather and Leonard shifted their gaze as they entered the room.

It was to see the person who was meeting alone with the leader of the Green Dragon Knights.

A figure representing the family, such as the Knight Commander of Cardenas and Pentagon of Wickline. I heard that one of the only ten elders in Jehaire came to visit.

just as expected.

“What is it, kids! “Is my appearance that amazing?!”

A person who could be seen as a dwarf, with a bald head that was visible from around the waist of an adult man, screamed.

“Elder Garneau, let’s talk about the rest tomorrow.”

At Uruka’s words, Garneau, who had largely swiped his mustache and beard, stormed out.

“No, I don’t have time tomorrow! “Let’s do it the next day!”

“You do that. “I will see you at this time that day.”

“I get it! “I have to go now!”

Garno of Zehire, a dwarf whose voice was as angry as his personality, stopped in front of Leonard as he was about to leave the room.

What the bulging eyes were looking at was the sword that was hanging on his waist. A divine sword forged with the iron fist of the god [Pollux] and made with the skill of the Zehaire family.

Garneau once again raised his head and looked up at Leonard.

“Is that you?”

“… “If you say so, I don’t know.”

“You are the kid who is rumored to be the next head of the Cardenas family, having taken on Heo Shin’s hair before he was even 20 years old!”

Leonard was embarrassed by those words, but he was not angry because he did not sense even the slightest malice in Garneau’s words and actions.

This was a characteristic of people who spent their whole lives banging metal, so they were not good at communication and had no idea how their own words sounded. The iron pole he had visited several times in his previous life was similar to this dwarf’s. That harsh-looking shout is filled with admiration and praise.

“I don’t know the story of the next head of the family, but if it’s me who beheaded [Pollux], then I’m the one.”

“also!”

Garneau looked Leonard up and down a few times and left the room, shouting without hesitation.

Although he had a lot to say, he seemed in a hurry as he had a lot of work to do.

“Come visit me later. If it were you, I could hand you one of my weapons. My name is Garnoda! “The guy who forged your sword was my best student, so causality would be enough!”

Before he had time to reply, Garneau walked away and ran to a place where he could not be seen.

Leonard and Heather are taken aback by this sudden situation.

“Jehaire’s father-in-law, and even a warrior recognized by an elder, is very rare. This is especially true if you are willing to give up your weapons first.”

Uruka, who was watching with half admiration and half interest, spoke first. As he said, Zehaire, or rather the dwarves, take pride in their work, so they test users harshly.

Whether it’s catching a high-risk monster or building up a reputation that anyone can recognize.

Because of that requirement, it was possible to find many articles that had given up on Zehire’s order-made products.

“I’ve heard your story a few times, but you’re not someone I can evaluate without even meeting him. Nice to meet you. “I am Uruka, leader of the Green Dragon Knights in charge of this front.”

“It’s Leonard.”

When Uruka stands up from her seat and holds out her hand, she joins hands without hesitation and reveals her name.

Leonard remained unfazed as he felt the magnitude of the force writhing beyond his grasp. The days when he was afraid just by facing a demigod-level being were long gone.

“Ha, it’s more than I expected.”

In the same way, Uruka looked at the other person and was amazed with an expression on her face that made it difficult to believe her own eyes.

Uruka immediately took out a sheet of orders from her pocket and tore them open without hesitation, then took out a blank sheet of paper and filled in the letters on it in a flowing manner.

And I handed the paper, complete with seal, to Leonard.

“Take it. This is your appointment letter. Originally, I was planning on entrusting the defense of bases around important train facilities, but I am withdrawing that plan.”

“Specially appointed officer… is it?”

“This means that drivers performing special missions will be guaranteed the authority necessary for that mission. “The position itself was just created.”

Uruka, who answered Leonard’s words, sat down on the chair again and started talking, resting her chin on the back of her hand.

Then he lightly gestured, and two chairs flew out and stopped in a good place for Leonard and Heather to sit.

As soon as the two people sat down, Uruka’s eyes sparkled.

“I will now explain the contents of that special mission.”
