Of course, it was obvious that everyone was afraid, to the extent that the commotion could be heard over such a long distance, but for that, they were moving quite calmly and in line into the inside of the canyon.
The spirit of the different races leading the slaves was also unusual. Each of them had a sharp appearance, like a well-forged sword.
Lord Claat muttered in a serious tone.
“As expected, it seems that the County of Antares was the one who helped them escape.”
One of the subordinate knights nodded with a serious expression.
“Of course. Where else would there be dwarves and orcs who use auras other than the Kingdom of Antares? And among the soldiers, more than one saw the golden pillar piercing the Zeppelin sky.”
The adjutant sneered.
“joy! “A man as high as the King of Powers would do such a petty thing!”
Then the other Chatan Royal Palace knights clicked their tongues and cursed. Most of it was a criticism of Reppenhardt, who took other people’s property by force, and a rebuke of the foolishness of slaves of different races who chased after him without even knowing the subject.
“They took care of you so much that they betrayed you?”
“If you show mercy to even an animal, it will recognize its owner!”
“Things worse than animals!”
“What kind of fuss is going on since the wee hours of the morning because of those guys?”
It’s shocking to see what these people say after giving an order and then taking bribes and going somewhere else. Sir Klatt, who had not heard, let out a nervous cry.
“noisy! “Why are you talking about how great you are when you miss those guys!”
I’m definitely not good at anything. The murmurs of the knights and soldiers subsided slightly. Sir Claat’s brow furrowed deeply.
‘Ugh, pathetic bastards.’
The other knights and soldiers seem to have no other thought than to quickly capture the slaves and receive absolution even in this situation. In fact, there is no doubt that they committed the sin of disobeying orders. Since there were so many people playing separately – if you think about it, almost all of the Zeppelin regular army – it was impossible to condemn them all, so they were given immunity in this way.
But unfortunately, Sir Clatt was such a proper knight that he could not watch the situation so comfortably.
Sir Claat sweated with nervousness as he looked out over Colne Gorge.
“Damn it, do I have to fight against that famous King of Power?”
Although they are the same Auror user, the King of Fist and the greatest knight of Chatan are of different rank. Besides, the problem is, isn’t it the only king of the time there?
Sir Clatt rode off to the side with a stiff expression on his face. They approach the Zeppelin Knights, a group of magic swordsmen whose bodies are covered with all kinds of magic tools, and speak coldly.
“The Zeppelin Knights will have to follow my command this time. “Whether they are slaves or not is none of my business.”
The expressions of the Zeppelin Knights, who were usually jealous of Lord Klatt, hardened slightly. But Lord Klatt didn’t care at all.
“Whether they are slaves or not, that is none of my business.”
Even if only half of the rumors known during the Crovence Civil War were true, there would be many Auror users, including the king of the time, stationed there.
“All I know is that they have several Auror users and their soldiers are not ordinary people!”
The Zeppelin Knights’ complexions became even harder. However, no one dared to refute Sir Clatt’s words. Considering his usual behavior, his attitude was hard to believe.
Sir Claat suddenly burst into laughter.
‘If you think about it, there’s really only trash left.’
The Zeppelin Knights here were all people who took bribes, wandered off to other places, and showed up late. All those who faithfully followed the plan were cut to death by the Antares white army. The price for sincerity is truly harsh.
‘I have to lead these guys to fight against the army of the famous King of Power… … .’
I sighed, but as a knight who swore loyalty to my lord, I couldn’t disobey orders.
Klatt tried to straighten his expression.
‘Still, the numbers are small over there. Most of them are escaped slaves, and Antares’s army is small. The problem is the Auror user… … Zeppelin Knights will do something about that. ‘They must be aware of the atmosphere.’
Indeed, the Zeppelin Knights’ vice-captain, Benes, forced his head down and expressed his approval. Now that leader Sir Brilt has died, he is the new leader of the Zeppelin Knights.
“Well, I will follow your orders, Lord Claat.”

Reppenhardt asked, pacing his steps.
“What is the size of the chase team?”
Siris answered, following behind.
“They said it was between seven thousand and eight thousand. “There are between 800 and 1,000 knights, about 2,000 cavalrymen, and the rest are infantry.”
Reppenhardt, who understood the opponent’s strength, smiled faintly.
“Thank goodness. Fortunately, it looks like the wizards are still caught.”
Zeppelin, the capital of the Principality of Chatan.
As a center of commerce where all the products of the continent move, Zeppelin had a considerable number of wizards who used magic tools.
When Repenhardt was a dungeon explorer, he sold numerous magic weapons to Zeppelin. Since all the precious magical tools and artifacts on the continent must be traded, the presence of a wizard who can determine their authenticity is essential.
Therefore, in peacetime, Zeppelin always had about 200 magicians living in it, and the palace magicians, including the archmage Lord Hajil, also resided in the Chatan Royal Palace.
But as of today, all the wizards had disappeared from Zeppelin.
Siris asked quietly as she approached Leffenhardt.
“And what on earth have you done, Mr. Repenhardt?”
“I have prepared a bait that a wizard cannot help but be hooked on.”
With a grin, Reppenhardt opened his mouth.
“Do you remember that village about three days south of Zeppelin, Siris? “We went there before the operation.”
Siris tilted her head. I certainly remember her stopping by with Reppenhardt that time.
The place where Reppenhardt took her was a large abandoned dungeon near the village. It may have been a fairly famous dungeon in the past, but it was quite large in scale, but it had already been looted and abandoned for a long time, so now it is nothing more than a ruin.
Reppenhardt smiled in remorse.
“I set aside some funds there. “If you’re a wizard, you probably can’t help but roll your eyes, right?”
After entering the dungeon, Reppenhardt spent three days engraving all kinds of magic techniques, unknown numbers, and ancient languages on the walls of the dungeon. Rather than simply writing it down, all the letters were engraved into the stone wall.
This was possible because Reppenhardt could pierce a stone wall like tofu just by emitting aura from his fingers. I remember Siris also using elemental magic and helping as he was told.
Siris frowned.
“Is that what you suffered back then?”
“When I was young, I made up various magic theories for fun. Moreover, I still remember the new theory of the three major academic societies, which has not been published in this era. “I wrote it all down on the stone wall and secretly leaked the information to the Zeppelin wizards.”
The news that a new magic theory had appeared in an abandoned dungeon immediately spread among Zeppelin wizards. Of course, wizards didn’t lift their heavy butts from the beginning. Naturally, he first sent his disciples to investigate the situation.
However, when they saw the rubbings that the disciples had made, everyone could not help but roll their eyes.
These are the magical theories of Reppenhardtmann, the Grand Wizard of the 10th Circle, and the new theories of the three major societies that have been further developed over the next 30 years. For modern-day wizards, this is truly an incredible amount of material that is nothing short of a miracle.
I can’t possibly understand the whole theory just by looking at the rubbings. Everyone hurriedly headed to the dungeon to avoid being stolen by others. Since it was engraved on a thick stone wall, I had no choice but to go there myself. The disciples mobilized all their strength to save even one more verse. Among them was Chatan’s royal wizard, Prince Hajil.

And the amount of data written in that dungeon was large enough to cover all of the two hundred wizards. Leffenhardt’s own knowledge was enormous, and it was only natural that he had written down all the new theories presented at the three major academic conferences on the continent over the next 30 years.
“Maybe the Zeppelin wizards are still busy trying to decipher theories by sitting on the dungeon walls?”
“That was it… … uh? But if Zeppelin’s magic power increases further, won’t that be a problem later?”
“I guess I didn’t think of that too? I left out all the important points and cleverly wrote down only the parts that appealed to me. “I guess the carp are squealing excitedly because I just sprinkled rice cakes on them, right?”
With a mischievous expression on his face, Reppenhardt stuck out his tongue.
Siris let out a laugh.
After hearing the story of his past life, she knows that Reppenhardt is actually an old man over 50 years old. How can you make such a boyish expression on such a topic?
Anyway, it was something worth admiring. That method of completely blowing away Zeppelin’s magic power is definitely worthy of praise.
“You are surprisingly clever, Mr. Reppenhardt.”
“Are you surprised? “I was originally a 10th circle wizard, right?”
Siris smiled as she looked at Repenhardt who was feeling aggrieved. Pouting his lips, Reppenhardt kept moving.
“Well, anyway, since we don’t have to deal with wizards, it won’t affect our plans.”
Maloid and Atilka approached Reppenhardt as he walked. Walking shoulder to shoulder, the dwarf warrior opened his mouth.
“I have heard that a pursuit party has come after you, Savior.”
“Yes, Sir Malloyd. “What are your plans?”
“It’s been a long time since we figured it out.”
This time Atilca opened her mouth.
“I have delivered the news to everyone, White King. “Everyone will gather.”
Afterwards, other Auror users also came to Reppenhardt’s side.
Orc auror users including Russ, Iniya, Sloitl, and Tashid also join the ranks. Russ and Tashid polished their weapons with shining eyes.
“I’m ready, brother.”
“Let’s show them a lesson, my benefactor!”
Accompanied by the strongest members of each race, Repenhardt headed to the entrance of Colne Canyon.
Even though an evacuation order had already been issued, a significant number of escaped slaves still remained. The leader of the group was slowly entering deep into the canyon, but because there were so many of them and the width of the canyon was narrow, the rear group could not get out of the edge yet.
As I made my way through the crowd of people of different races, I saw a long line of Zeppelin chasers. They were shouting, ready to march, about 300 meters away.
“You foolish slaves! “Give up your resistance immediately and surrender!”
“If you resist, I will kill you all!”
Every time a cry goes out, the slaves of different races who were unable to escape tremble in fear. At that time, a loud shout came from behind them.
“Do not be afraid! “They won’t be able to touch a single hair of your head!”
A powerful roar shook the air. The people’s fear gradually subsided due to the powerful energy contained within it. Instead of fear, a light of envy and awe began to appear in the eyes of the elves, orcs, and dwarves.
One of the Zeppelin knights shouted as he looked at the muscular giant standing tall at the head of the group.
“King Reppenhardt!”
☆ ☆ ☆
Sir Clatt had never met the king of his time in person.
But I recognized it right away.
Wide shoulders and chest, a body with clear muscles that look like they were carved with a carving knife.
Who else in the world would show off his powerful body by exposing his upper body without wearing even an ordinary outer garment, let alone armor, in front of an army of thousands of people, other than Jim Unbreakable’s deacon?
‘Gerard is an old man over eighty years old, so the author must be Reppenhardt, the king of power at the time.’
Reppenhardt walked forward slowly.
Following him, eight warriors from each race also stepped forward.
Grumble!
A golden aura bloomed all over Leffenhardt’s body.
Those who followed each raised their Blade Aura.
Ugh! Boom! Buuuuung!
A brilliant feast of aurors lit up the mouth of Colne Canyon. Nine beams of light of destruction completely blocked the line between the Zeppelin chase group and the heterogeneous group.
The murmur in the chase party grew louder.
“Oh my god, he really is a Blade Auror!”
“They are Antares’ auror powers!”
On the other hand, the group of escaped slaves looked much relieved. Everyone regains their composure and calmly follows the lead and starts walking again. The group of escaped slaves remaining at the entrance to the canyon gradually lost sight of the chase team and disappeared into the shadows of the cliff.
Klatt’s lieutenant became angry when he saw that.
“Well, those guys are running away, Captain?”
“Does not matter. “How far can they go?”
The movement speed of those without formal training is obvious. The military can catch up quickly.
So Sir Klatt was not concerned about the escape of the slave group and was only focusing his attention on Reppenhardt.
