Chapter 24 Tabern (6)
Sanders saw the scene clearly.
The moment he shouted ‘Fire’, something too huge to be called an arrow, piercing through a demon so hard to see.
The ‘outside’ monsters are different. No matter how low-level they are, it is not easy for ordinary soldiers to even cut their skin.
Therefore, the archers’ shooting only slows their feet a little, and does not mean much in reducing the number of enemies.
But, what is that?
Faces that were too big to be an arrow and too flashy to be considered a ballista, pierce through the demons and disappear.
Sanders saw the starting point. I saw a man who had penetrated the monster at once and was preparing for the next shot.
I thought it was just a pup. I thought that a child who couldn’t tell the difference had come to die.
You will see the body of a child who is not yet an adult. I was thinking like that.
However, at this moment, the boy stands taller and more dignified than anyone else.
likewise,
He looked very sleepy.
Meanwhile, Selena, who was next to her, was struggling not to express herself.
‘It’s so different from what I’ve heard… … .’
The information is too wrong.
I have heard that Frontier is clearly a collection of laziness, incompetence, and inferiority complex.
The information on Mangot has never gone wrong.
So, by Selena’s standards, today is the first time. It was useless information.
‘I thought it was because of the mood in the room.’
Selena remembers the living Frontier showed in her room.
Of course, that in itself was scary. Not a lot, a little.
But the source of that fear was ‘fireworks’.
At Mangot, the possibility that the owner of the firecracker was Frondier at the time the fireworks were witnessed in Constell was raised. But that’s what he said, and no one really thought so.
But Frontier mentioned ‘firecrackers’ in the room.
She showed the arrow in front of Selena’s eyes.
‘What is incompetence and what is inferiority?’
At least, it was a word that was far from the frontier we see now.
but.
‘… … You look sleepy. yes.’
As for laziness, there was a part that could be guessed.
* * *
It was possible to wipe out the invading monsters now. Because I have ‘fireworks’.
Because the purpose is to interfere with the restoration of the barrier, the monsters outside are still small. Because of that, it was easy to kill them all.
“die! Die you bastards!”
“Hey, you bastard X, you bastards!”
I didn’t do that.
Beneath the wall, the prisoners near the gates were already in a battlefield splashing with blood and flesh.
The door was now open. The condition of the barrier was too bad, so it was a decision to open the door and guide the path of the monster. It was possible because of the small scale of the monster now.
Currently, my goal is to level up the weaving itself. In order to level up the weaving, weave a new high-grade weapon, or do a lot of simultaneous weaving. So ‘fireworks’ wasn’t very effective.
And above all, most of the prisoners here are ‘death prisoners’. Those who were going to die were only going to die.
For a moment I saw the faces of the prisoners. From now on, I’m going to witness a lot of casualties, so I’m worried that my heart will change.
‘… … I don’t know.’
I do not know. People are dying right in front of you, and screams are heard. I don’t even know if it’s a ripple in my heart, or if I’m in shock but trying to pretend I’m not.
However, he made a discovery that was completely different from his original intention.
Among the faces of the prisoners that had nothing to do with me, there was one face I knew.
‘… … Grovel.’
‘Indus’ to eliminate discrimination. Grovel, a mercenary hired by Serp of the Indus, appeared.
Since the superficial leader of the Hut Incident was Grobel, he was responsible for most of the crime. The result is this.
“Hey! omg! Huh… … !”
Grovel was fighting like crazy. In his right hand he held a scimitar about the length of my arm.
It was a very badly curved, that is, a high curvature. It was in the shape of a half-moon (半月).
It’s been quite some time since the hut incident, but are you still alive? In Tavern, that alone is great.
Crumple-!
At that moment, a huge thing entered through the front door of the wall.
The height of two adult males, green skin, and the bizarre lower molars sticking out of their mouths.
It was a troll.
“Kill! Cut down everything you see in front of you!”
The prisoners rushed, shouting whether it was a command or a word to themselves.
It was the same with Grovel. He moved to stick in front of the troll’s right leg.

Naturally, he didn’t see the troll’s club soaring above him.“… … tt.”
I kicked my tongue and made a ‘gram’ out of weave and shot it. The mana was leaking out in clumps, but this could blow a troll away with one blow.
Gram spun around and passed by decapitating the troll’s head. It was buried deep in the castle gate and disappeared.
A troll who fell so suddenly.
Embarrassed, Grovel looked at the troll’s severed head and turned around.
Grovel, who was looking around like that, suddenly raised his gaze upward. His gaze reached me.
It was hard to see his expression from afar, but he was clearly recognizing me.
* * *
After all the demons outside were cleaned up, the remaining knights confirmed the number of dead.
In front of the front door, it was hard to find the human corpse that was buried by kicking off various monsters.
Most of the dead were prisoners. The survivors were again taken to prison under the control of soldiers and knights.
Grovel also survived and was in the procession of being dragged away. The prisoners had faces that did not look as if they were alive even if they were alive, but Grobel’s eyes were still clear.
That determination may have kept Grovel alive.
“okay. There was a corner where I believed.”
A knight came to my side. It was the man I was betting on dead today.
“You look good. I would have lost money on my bet.”
“Ugh. I lost money. still.”
The man looked around. I checked the face of the knights investigating the corpses, the knights managing the prisoners, and the knights checking the weapons.
“No one really died.”
“… … .”
Yes. No one died. At least among the articles.
I guess I’m still winning the bet.
“Because there are already good guys in the Knights Templar. I think I paid some money to be able to see them tomorrow.”
The knight chuckled and left.
It was still a vulgar laugh, a vulgar tone of voice.
I asked behind his back.
“… … I’m sorry, but what’s your name?”
“Huh?”
The knight did not stop walking and did not turn his head and said as if leaving.
“It’s Hector Dutoit. It is a name that will be passed down on the continent in the future.”
Hector… … . Hector.
I shook my head, wondering if the name was familiar.
And I found out.
The white lion Hector.
‘… … Reedwe’s son.’
Hector introduced himself as a ‘Dutoite’, but he was clearly the son of Ridwi von Urfa.
And he will take over from Reidwe, who has resigned from his position, and protect this Tayburn.
As he roared in front of a large-scale monster, Hector the White Lion.
As he said, it is truly a name that will be passed down on the continent for a long time.
* * *
I went to prison.
“Meeting?”
The officer in charge asked, as if hearing a strange noise.
“yes. it can not?”
“no. It’s not like that, but the driver didn’t have a visit.”
It seemed that I was already a knight in the prison.
Is it because you went to this battle?
“Who are you looking for?
“It’s a person named Grovel.”
“What kind of relationship do you have?”
I laughed.
“He’s like an enemy of Cheolcheonji.”
“Haha, that’s right. Come this way.”
The officer in charge gently guided me.
To be honest, it’s not my fault.
I was sitting across from the blocked glass window, and soon Grovel came in from the other side with the door open.
Grovel frowned as soon as he checked my face.
Trembling, he sat down on the chair and picked up the receiver.
[What, Master?]
you remember me I smiled.
“He was alive.”
It wasn’t a particularly teasing tone, but Grovel rolled his eyes.
[Do you think it will fall behind? have a younger brother I will never die in a place like this.]
yes it was
This guy has a younger brother named Rockbell.
That guy named Lockbell was also guilty of stabbing me with a knife, but when it was revealed that Serp manipulated him, he was acquitted.
However, while they were arguing, Rockbell had already been sent to Tayburn.
[After being caught, he was brought here right away, so I don’t know what happened to my brother.]
“Maybe he went to an orphanage.”
It turns out that Grobel and Lockbell had no parents. The only person who raised him was his older brother, Grovel. Since he was imprisoned, it was natural for Rockbell to go to the orphanage.
[I can’t believe it.]
I tilted my head at the words that spit like grinding teeth.
“Children are treated well in Constell. Besides, Rockbell was innocent. There would be no problem.”
[That’s not it. Gregory, that bastard is the problem.]
Gregory.
I thought it was a familiar name somewhere, but I thought of it.
He was in charge of reconnaissance and spying within the Indus. He has a knack for manipulating animals, and transmits various information to the Indus through their eyes and ears.
“How do you know Gregory?”
Grovel is just a mercenary hired by Serp. Gregory, a member of the Indus, probably didn’t know.
[Serf introduced Gregory when he hired our mercenaries. While demonstrating that ability, he said that it would be helpful when he escaped. Well, I know now that they’re all frogs.]
tt, Grovel clicked his tongue.
I asked again.
“But why Gregory? At that time, he only moved as a crow, wasn’t he in a safe place? Aren’t you working in the Indus again?”
Grovel asked my question rather.
[Don’t you know? Gregory did not know that Serp was dead and went to his residence and was found out. Of course, the controlling crow was caught. So I’m looking for it, but I haven’t been caught yet.]

Not caughtAt that, I frowned.
[Then you are a fugitive. Indus is good at cutting off his tail, so he won’t accept it.]
At the time of the Hut Incident, the only Indus members were Serp and Gregory.
Serp is dead, and Gregory is running away. The Indus won’t let Gregory know what’s going on in the Indus, so he’s probably coming from both the police and the Indus.
[That’s right. At least the one in the center is definitely black.]
As much as he can dig up information about his surroundings, Gregory is well aware of places that his surroundings cannot reach. He must have avoided the eyes of others with the help of animals.
“Then do you think Gregory will approach Lockbell?”
[Yes. The money Serf gave me as a request is now gone, didn’t it? I’m the only one who knows where the money is. But Gregory doesn’t know that, so when he’s in need of money, he might remember the money I got and go to see my brother.]
I didn’t like that bastard from the start. From the time I borrowed a crow’s mouth from behind and flirted… … , Grovel was talking intently without asking.
Talking better than you think
It must have been because of me that I came to Tayburn, but the hostility towards me was lower than I expected.
Or do other things come to mind because of my brother’s work?
Hmm. I shook my head for a moment.
Grovel seems to be quite worried about his brother, and this could be a good deal for me.
However, since the receiver in the meeting room records all the conversations, it is impossible to spit nonsense.
But Grovel is a person from the other world. Maybe there’s a good way.
I saw Grovel with the ‘analysis’ skill.
[Grobel]
– Leader of the former mercenary corps ‘Legid’. He was hired by ‘Indus’ member ‘Serf Daniel’, but he was caught and is serving a sentence in prison.
– He loves his younger brother ‘Rockbell’ very much.
– Learned ‘sign language’ and ‘reading skills’ for confidential communication with Indus members.
Also.
I moved my head slightly. I hid my face from the watchman behind Grovel’s back.
It moved naturally, but if you keep doing this, you’ll get caught, so let’s talk quickly.
– Grovel, do you want to make a deal?
I moved my mouth without making a sound.
Grovel’s eyes widened.
-I’ll protect my brother, so help me get out of the barrier.
