Episode 56. Storm
Outside the castle walls that collapsed due to the appearance of a giant. Strange’s knights spread out their formation in a semicircle and waited for the enemy.
“The guys we will have to deal with in the future are those who have deep experience in battlefields that you have no experience with.”
Seuuuuu-.
Deacon Devery took out a rapier as thin as a rose stem.
“Never look down and show no mercy to your enemies.”
The knights answered simultaneously.
“yes!”
“yes!”
Regardless of whether the enemy is strong or weak, I fight with my best.
This is something that Strange’s knights hear so loudly from their apprenticeship until they become intermediate knights.
Clunk, clank, clank.
The sound of the knights making a wall with their shields reached my ears. Devery looked into their eyes and made a pleased expression.
“I know that most of you have not yet been on the battlefield.”
DeBerry planted the flag in the center of the formation.
thud.
“Take this opportunity to feel the weight of death!”
The knights answered simultaneously.
“All right!”
“All right!”
Devery winked at the knight commander.
Upon receiving his signal, the knight commander put on his helmet and raised his sword above his head.
“Fight the sword!”
The knights repeated their names.
“Fight the sword!”
“Fight the sword!”
Strange never surrenders to his enemies. Even if you face an enemy stronger than yourself.
Coo coo coo coo coo.
The ground shook.
Hundreds of enemy soldiers began to appear running inside the castle walls.
They were wearing weapons with different symbols that made it easy to tell that they belonged to different units.
Unit marks representing regional characteristics such as wolves, cows, sheep or skulls.
The knight commander put on a tower shield long enough to cover his entire body, drew his sword behind his back, prepared to stab, and waited for the enemy.
“Ready for battle.”
Strange’s knights waited for the next command without answering, sticking their faces out above their shields.
“rush… !”
It was then.
The moment Bourbon’s mercenaries began to come out of the castle, Strange’s knights charged in, narrowing the gap in the formation.
“Wow!”
Their shouts filled the battlefield. Strange then clashed with the enemy forces, led by the Knight Commander, and swung a shield rather than a sword.
Ugh!
The enemy soldiers fell without even being able to swing their weapons properly. Not to be outdone, the mercenaries fired arrows and bullets from the rear.
Sigh! Sigh! Bang bang!
However, this was all useless as it was blocked by the shield. The only people hit by bullets and bullets were mercenaries of the same affiliation.
“Hey, look at this f*cking thing and shoot it! Are you planning to blow our heads off?!”
“Those crazy bastards, they just fight because they’re behind!”
“Everyone, stop talking and stand up quickly! “If we lie down like that, we won’t be able to move forward!”
A smile appeared on Diberi’s lips as he read the flow of the battlefield from the rear.
He read and informed the mercenaries’ flow in advance. The enemy is good at individual battles, but when it comes to unit-level battles, they become a mixed bag.
So, we need to gather together as much as possible and make them attack us.
‘As expected, Strange’s blood flows thickly in you, Master.’
Even at such a young age, he was able to quickly grasp the situation and see through the enemy’s movements.
He was impressed.
So far, everything has been going according to Verdin’s plan without exception.
“Plug the hole!”
Devery raised his voice and shouted loudly. The knight commander repeated the order and relayed the order.
“Cover the hole!!”
The knights gathered their courage at the same time and rushed at the fallen mercenary with their shields in front.
Doo doo doo doo.
Coo-ung!
Then, without hesitation, they swung their swords between the shields and stabbed the mercenary.
Kwasik!
They pushed the body and blocked the road.
“Push!!!”
The mercenaries in the center between the front and rear began to fall back down the path they had come from without even being able to take their stance.
“Uh oh! Hey, don’t push. “There is no way back!”
Strange, who succeeded in blocking the front, no longer defended but began attacking.
“Rox, I’m ready.”

Rox whispered to the clown Bae Hu-ryeong.
“We can’t play around this time?”
“Ah, I got it!”
“If you don’t listen to me again, you will never come again.”
“under… What a bastard. Why can’t you trust Bae Hu-ryeong’s words so much? Don’t worry, leave it to me. “All we have to do is attack the mercenaries and Bourbon knights over there, right?”
“… that’s right.”
“Okay, that was good. Now then, let’s go in?!”
Although Rox did not trust Bae Hu-ryeong, he had no choice but to raise his hands above his head with a reluctant expression.
“Come in.”
Paaaaat!
The advent of Rox and Clown Bae Hu-ryeong has begun. This is something that not even Verdin has ever seen.
His hair turns red. It soared high into the sky as if struck by lightning.
“… Phew! Shall we play this properly for the first time in a while?”
* * *
“Please help me!!!”
Screams spread like waves in all directions throughout the Legion Castle.
Giant bugs suddenly appeared from nowhere and attacked the Bourbon Knights, and outside the castle, dead mercenaries rose again and began to attack the allies.
How on earth did this happen? The imperial army tasked with protecting the Legion fell into chaos.
‘Who is the enemy and who is the friend?’
If it were as usual, I should have considered the enemies as monsters and the knights as allies.
“Let us observe the situation without participating in the battle!”
The commander of the Imperial forces in charge of the Legion’s defense remained neutral.
This was understandable because the knights who were supposed to protect the citizens actually showed an aggressive attitude toward them.
On the contrary, the bugs that attacked the castle only dealt with the approaching adventurers and did not show any aggression towards the citizens.
“What on earth happened?”
The imperial army commander swallowed dryly.
“Monsters have invaded, so why aren’t you helping them?”
Among them, one with a feather on his helmet asked the commander.
“I don’t know.”
“What?”
“Who is on our side?”
“Well, are you saying that? Of course monsters are the enemy!”
“You think so? Then let me ask you one question. “The knight who dragged out the woman who was sleeping quietly at home a little while ago and assaulted her.”
The commander pointed with his finger at the fallen Bourbon knight.
“Are they friends or enemies?”
“… yes?”
“All the knights currently fighting against the monster behaved in the same way. “He may have been looking for something, but he killed or trampled on innocent people.”
“Oh, no, that’s-”
“And it was those bugs who protected those citizens.”
The deputy commander opened his mouth to say something, but then shook his head and frowned.
“Then what do we do?”
“Didn’t I tell you? “Watch the situation.”
“… If something goes wrong, you will have to take responsibility.”
The commander twitched his eyebrows as if his words were unpleasant. He quickly looked away and answered.
“I will do that. However, if my judgment is not wrong, you will not be able to remain in my unit.”
The deputy commander clenched his fists.
“You will do that.”
After that, time continued to pass, and the momentum of the battlefield began to gradually tilt to one side.
Most of the Bourbon knights who could not withstand the onslaught of the mutant Ants fled or fell.
The large insects that overpowered them dug into the ground, crawled into the ground, and disappeared without a sound.

Kang! Cancan! Kang!
Dozens, hundreds, thousands.
How many compliments were exchanged? I had a long battle with Baron Moncle until I could barely breathe.
Phew-
“It’s pretty good.”
The guy looked at me with a satisfied expression. He must have been equally exhausted.
“The little guy has a bad mouth habit.”
“That would be you. “Which of us do you think should set the example?”
“under! Of course it’s you, right? “No matter how close you are to each other, there is still a difference in your ages.”
“If you are divided by age, you will have to bow even to the beggar guarding the entrance to the market.”
“… This guy who will die soon speaks well. “This time, let me take your leg.”
Monkle took a stance, pulling the blade out from behind his back. We have hurt each other as many times as we have ever shared. Of course, until now, it was difficult to say who was stronger.
‘If you’re just talking about swordsmanship, I’m better than the person who rose to the position of ‘King of Swords’.’
Unfortunately, my body at this age was not capable of displaying all the skills.
The hands and feet are still too short.
I read Monkl’s movements in advance and attacked, but he counterattacked late and his sword reached me first.
‘Can not help it.’
The current Baron Moncle is a quasi-swordmaster. I am one page different from the person who was called the Sword King in my past life.
The lack of a body that had not yet grown was an area where the gap could be narrowed.
‘what.’
Anyway, I will win this fight.
‘Because the difference between direct and collateral is absolute.’
Right now, his swordsmanship may be better than mine, but his maximum potential Auror is not even close to his toes.
‘then.’
The sure-fire strategy for me to beat him is to make him tired by making him fight for a long time.
“Shall we start again?”
Monkle started to approach first.
Looking at the aura emanating from his entire body, I could predict that he would do his best this time.
‘It’s coming strong.’
Pot!
He kicked the giant’s shoulder and flew forward, swinging his sword from bottom to top.
Boom – roar!
“Where?”
I took a step back and slashed Mystiltein down from top to bottom.
Kang!
Two swords clashed in the air. Black and red aura swirled between the two, pushing each other away.
Kigi geek.
“I will kill you and your father today. “I will take Strange’s throne.”
Monkl tightened his eyes.
“If I can.”
I chuckled while looking at his face. I concentrated my mana in one hand and chanted.
“Lacrimis Flema.”
In an instant, drop-shaped mana gathered on the palm and exploded.
phut!
At the same time, mana scattered in all directions attacked Baron Monkle.
“?!”
As expected, he was amazing.
I reflexively swung my cloak to block my magic.
fluttering.
Cheesy!
‘Lacrimis Flema.’
This spell, also known as ‘Tears of Flame,’ is an ancient magic taught to us by Brunhild.
He flinched back without realizing it due to the unexpected magic and its power.
“I just used mana… .”
Monkle rolled his eyes.
My mind must have been complicated because I used aura and mana at the same time.
Without missing this opportunity, I lunged at him again and swung my sword.
‘The guy’s judgment was clouded.’
The opportunity is now.
Shock-!
Monkl also read my movements and counterattacked right away.
Hissing-
The two blades crossed each other and flew away.
It was a fleeting moment, but the aura swirled around as if darkness and flame were engulfing each other.
Flutter!
The battle is over.
There was a difference between victory and defeat.
One of the two swords pierced the other’s heart.
A confrontation between me, who was called the Sword Master in my past life, and the person who is currently called the Sword Master.
“… “Good job, Monestier.”
Baron Moncle grinned as he looked at my face, then fell forward with both knees on the ground.
dump.

Two men who were watching the battle between Verdin and Monkl were having a conversation.
“How can you help me?”
A long-legged man with bandages wrapped all over his body asked. The old man in black haze nodded his head.
“That guy Monkle is right. My judgment was wrong. “I guess I’ll have to deal with him today.”
“Okay, then let’s finish quickly and go to the tower. “It will take a long time to deal with Lois.”
“good.”
Monestier and the two so-called party members prepared a raid on Verdin.
The black-haired old man clearly intended to watch Verdin grow, but his mind changed after seeing the fight a little while ago.
‘You have to cut it in the bud before it grows.’
There are different areas of talent to cultivate and have fun with. A level where you can surpass yourself even after just a day or two.
With that in mind, the black-haired old man and the bandaged man are about to kill Verdin.
“Stop.”
“… … !”
An unexpected person appeared in front of them.
Caw, caw, caw!
The judge of the Strange family called Jeokhyojo.
Valentine de Strange.
“If you move one more step, both of your heads will fall off.”
She came to the Legion herself.
