Chapter 58 Toward the Fragments
Immediately after Ampere’s orders.
All the Knights of Roach, including the Knights Commander Silvain, blew the whistle. A high and long sound spread high and high in harmony.
A group of horses galloping towards each of the knights soon. The knights rode their horses and ran straight towards the wall.
There was no way to open the door of the wall. The governor’s order must not be delayed for a single moment.
“I will take the lead! Templars spread their wedge formation, protect Frontier and break through the front!”
The knights followed behind Silvain, who was running ahead, and they all crossed the barrier and ran, stepping on the corpse of the monster just like Cassian did.
Doo-doo-doo, the typhoon made the sound of knocking down trees, and they followed the frontier who was running ahead.
Frontier confirmed the existence of the following knights. Cassian took care of slowing it down without he had to give any orders.
“Frondie!”
Sylvain, who was close by, shouted. Soon he ran ahead of Frontier, protecting Frontier’s face. Eventually, the knights followed the frontier everywhere and crushed the monsters that came nearby.
“Captain!”
“This formation cannot go far! When your feet stop, all that’s left is death!”
Sylvain looked at Frontier and said.
Even though it seems that they are moving forward with ease while slashing monsters, this is because the number of nearby monsters is temporarily low because of the Cyclops at their distant feet.
Cyclops don’t throw rocks or move forward while thinking about monsters, so there aren’t many monsters around them and in the space in a straight line from the monster to the barrier.
Frontier and the Knights will only move forward right now because they are aiming for that gap, but sooner or later, if the monster fills the gap, the Knights will also be pushed out.
“If you are going to do it, do it at once! Failure is unforgivable!”
“Yes!”
An immediate answer as if nothing to say. A confident voice. Seeing Frontier’s answer, Silvain grinned.
He looked straight ahead and pointed the knife forward. His harsh voice reached the entire Knights Templar.
“Speed up! Open Frontier’s view! Don’t let anything get in the way!”
“Yes!!”
Knights rushing in. Monsters that become blood and scatter. In the complete protection of the knights, Frontier caught his breath.
The Cyclops were not the only goals of the Frontier. The arrangement of mana was important, and in that respect, the support of the Knights Templar was very grateful.
“Captain!”
Frontier called for Silvain, who opened the door.
“What! Frontier!”
“If you approach him, I’m sure I’ll hold your breath!”
“If you wouldn’t believe it, you wouldn’t do something crazy!”
Sylvain cut off the head of the monster blocking the way once more and said. Seeing this, Frontier shouted again.
“But then, I have something to ask the manager!”
“Request?”
“When you reach him, cut off his left leg!”
“The left leg?”
Sylvain looked up and looked at the Cyclops. The horse is his left leg, and when Sylvain swings his sword horizontally to the right in front of the Cyclops, that is his left leg. That’s how huge he was.
“yes! Its head is too high, and if I jump in on my own, he may dodge or block it!”
“… … I get it!”
Sylvain clenched his sword as he answered.
He answered, but Silvain was anxious. This wasn’t the first time he had faced the Cyclops. That’s why he knows very well how tough his skin is and how hard his bones are.
Originally, when dealing with the Cyclops, the main strategy was to accumulate wounds by enclosing the entire Knights in a circle.
In other words, instead of inflicting a critical blow at once, he knocked it down by aiming for bleeding and muscle fatigue.
‘… … Can I ring?’
He is now riding a horse, not with his feet on the ground. It is only the upper body that gives strength to the sword.
In this unstable posture, would it be possible to cut him down even if he used an auror?
‘No. Should be! If not now, when will I do it?’
Sylvine closed her eyes and made up her mind. Naturally, strength entered the hand holding the sword.
Whether it’s possible or impossible is long gone. Preparation is never complete.
have to do it now The next time you swing your swing, in one single blow.
Soon, the Knights reached the brink of the Cyclops. Sylvain signaled with a gesture to the knights.
“now!”
The moment they reached the gnome, the knights, except for Frontier and Silvain, spread their wings and escaped to the left and right. Cyclops’ single pupil moved left and right following the scattered knights. A brief confusion of which side to attack.
In the gap, Silvain’s blade stretched out in a straight line.
wow!
‘Wow… … !’
A horizontal slash with an auror bearing the momentum of a galloping horse as it is. However, Sylvain’s sword was blocked with few cuts on the Cyclops’ legs.
The horse riding Sylvine left him in the air and ran away alone, and he was hung on a very small studded sword.
‘no!’
The moment the sword was lodged in the Cyclops’ leg, in a short time that would not be even a moment, Sylvain pushed the blade with all his might. However, it doesn’t even budge. In the first place, even if he used the gallop of a horse, he was hanging in the air that had not been cut, and there was no Belly.
fault!
Sylvan felt a shadow rising from behind. Frontier leaped into the air. The skill of jumping up from the back of the horse was amazing, but it was far from reaching the man’s head.
‘Frondie! Dangerous!’
Silvain was angry with his own helplessness. Frontier believed that Sylvine would cut him down and jumped up. However, it did not live up to that expectation.
Frontier jumped into the air and Silvain was hanging. The two of them, who lost the mobility of their words, were closer to death than anyone else at this moment!
Whik!
The giant hand of the Cyclops was swung. Towards Frontier, who jumped into the air. A merciless hand flew towards him as if catching a fly.
Taang!
Frontier made a shield in the air, stepped on it and jumped. The hand of the Cyclops was dodged by a single wind difference, and instead, the shield collapsed like a piece of paper and fell to the floor. Soon it ran into black water.
Sylvain looked up and saw it. Frontier soars into the air again. However, the next attack of the Cyclops is coming.
This time a huge hand stretched out to the sky. A blow that hits from the top down. If you dodge it, the Cyclops’s head will never reach it, and if you don’t avoid it, you die.
‘Frondie… … !’
Sylvain’s hand trembled softly, cutting the leather of the Cyclops a little.
When did you feel so helpless, Silvain?
When did you feel the power of Ampere? When did you first experience the barrier battle? When you become a knight and realize that there is a stomach on top?
If not, the moment I first held the sword—
– Chief.
Then Frontier saw Sylvine. In front of the Cyclops attack, he was looking at Sylvine.
There was no room to open his mouth. I couldn’t even move a single finger.
Frontier just spoke with his eyes.
—It’s your left hand, Captain.
“… … !”
Sylvine’s wrist turned outward. The sword that had been cut a little was pulled out. As he fell from the air, Sylvain’s sword swung to the left in a circle on an oblique line.
Left hand up, right hand down.

diagonal cut
As if standing on solid ground.
Sylvain fell from the air while maintaining a perfect posture.
A number, as if drawn in a picture, was lowered to the lower right.
spatula-
The trajectory was not enough to cut off the cyclops’ calves, and even cut all the tendons and bones.
Big woo!!
screams of pain. The Cyclops opened their big eyes and cried out. The guy who couldn’t stand on one leg lost his balance and collapsed.
turuk.
Frontier’s feet touched those eyes.
“Don’t say thank you.”
The Cyclops saw the Frontier standing above his eyeballs. It was a curious thing. Although they cannot speak, Cyclops are highly intelligent individuals as they are external monsters.
Even if he lost his balance and collapsed, even if it was similar to the height Frontier jumped from, there was a difference in distance, not height. That was an unresolved problem regardless of whether the Cyclops lowered or raised their body.
Frontier narrowed the distance. in the void. Without the trivial remnants of such a shield.
If the Cyclops could speak, they would have shouted.
-You could fly this bastard right from the start,
Mjolnir, Excalibur Combination
frontier original
piling
Kwajik!
Frontier struck the tip of Excalibur’s hilt with Mjölnir. It looked similar to his original sword ‘Jeong’, but this time he really put Excalibur into the Cyclops’ eyeballs.
Because it will never miss, and there is no need for retrieval. There was no need to spend more mana than ‘Jeong’.
Cyclops killed in one blow. Frontier whispered quietly to him, whom he would never hear.
“Thanks to you, Sylvine will become stronger.”
He will be needed in the future.
Of course, without hearing anything, the Cyclops slowly leaned over. Frontier stepped on the corpse and fell to the floor together.
Thump, with a sound as heavy as its huge volume, the Cyclops fell.
Frontier looked beyond the corpse of the Cyclops. The monsters that were far away from the ignorant movement of the Cyclops. The constant replenishment of monsters does not come around this area, either.
“… … It’s open.”
The thick-looking monster wall, for this moment, the road beyond it was unfolding.
“Frondier!”
Frontier was going to call Cassian, but Selena was faster than that. Selena drove Cassian to the frontier.
“The front is open!”
“okay!”
Frontier climbed to Cassian. Naturally, Selena moved to the back seat. All of that happened naturally.
“Frondie!”
Sylvain called Frontier, who rode his horse again.
“Are you going to break through this front?”
“That’s right.”
“Then wait for the knights to return! The knights spread out to the left and right will soon be reunited! It will be easier for you to break through the walls of monsters!”
Silvain made a good decision, but Frontier shook his head.
“From now on, I will go alone.”
“… … Frontier.”
“No, my escort, me and Cassian. The three of us will go.”
Frontier smiled a little playful.
His eyes were looking beyond the demons, one path leading to their stronghold.
“Chief, do you remember the message I sent you last time?”
“You mean ambush alert?”
“Yes that’s right.”
At that time, Frontier predicted an ambush on the way of the Knights. Rather than predict, there was actually an ambush back then.
A way to invite humans to their home base in order to trap them.
But now, the monster is rushing towards the barrier.
It was a situation in which I never dreamed that a single human like Frontier would attack me alone.
“At this very moment, that path is the weak point of the demons.”
I’m not prepared for anything like an ambush or a trap.
The road is still there.
At this moment, the path prepared for the ambush becomes the most comfortable path for Frontier.
It was the way to invite you to the base in the first place.
“The invitation is still there, so I should go.”
reminds me of a scene from AOT.
