Eastern Mountain Front
“Um… .”
Hyunjoon reached out and lifted the glass in front of him. Seeing this, the faces of the others wriggled. No one has raised a glass yet, and no words have been spoken to begin the banquet. However, even though he is a nobleman, he dared to raise his glass first.
Hyunjoon completely ignored them. He even closed his eyes and enjoyed the aroma of the wine.
“hahahahaha, aren’t you used to being in a place like this?”
From noble mtl dot com
“yes.”
After answering that, Hyeonjun tilted his glass and slowly enjoyed the taste. It means don’t talk. The nobleman who spoke out closed his mouth.
Hyeonjun enjoyed his wine and put down his glass. Then, taking a deep breath, he burried himself deeply into the chair and leaned against the armrest, openly scanning all of them. And smiled softly. Like an asshole, he didn’t even wear armor. Only Gallion was lightly armed.
“I don’t know what to say with gratitude that you prepared a place for me like this while soldiers were shedding blood on the frontlines.”
“ha ha ha.”
Behind the laughter, only a chilly silence lingered. His momentum fluctuated and he pressed Hyeon-jun, but Hyeon-jun smiled and ate the snack. Gallion is still looking closely at Hyeon-jun with a smile on his face.
“I was told to go to Turaion…”
“Yes. I’m Turaion. Can you tell me something about my family?”
Hyunjoon stopped talking and looked at his face.
He seems to be a little over 30, but when Hyeon-jun cuts off his words, his face slightly turns red. Hyunjoon said with a smile.
“If you don’t have it, that’s fine.”
“Now you…”
At that moment, Hyun-joon’s hidden momentum was pierced. It wasn’t violent or sharp, just sent lightly, as if pushing someone who opened his mouth.
But that was enough. Your opponent will feel like you got hit by a straight line even after being hit by a jab.
“Keep talking.”
“… you… .”
The expression disappeared from Hyeon-jun’s face, and a sharp force stroked the nape of his neck coolly.
The person who opened his mouth moved his hand to the sword without realizing it. Are you really going to do a knife fight?
Seeing the movement, Hyeon-jun smiled softly and regained his momentum. Then he got up slowly and bowed gracefully.
“Thank you for the great welcome. But I’m exhausted from the long march and it’s hard anymore. I’ll go now.”
Then, without hearing an answer, he turned around and walked out. La Hansen followed Hyeon-jun out, and Gallion grinned at the banquet hall where only cold silence remained.
“cheeky… .”
someone muttered. But no one said more.

“Are you okay though?”
“Yeah. Everyone is talking about something.”
Hyeonjun smiled and replied to La Hansen’s worried question.
“Still, there is a family behind them.”
“It doesn’t matter. Those fools are the ones who gave it all up. Or they’re such foolish families that they have no choice but to embrace them.”
Lahansen looked around in amazement. Upon confirming that there were no eyes or ears around, La Hansen gritted his teeth and said.
“Didn’t I tell you to be careful with your words and actions!”
“It was because I knew no one was there.”
“… … ha… .”
Lahansen sighed and shook his head. Hyeon-joon patted La Hansen on the head and then slowly moved on.
“Still, you have to stay on the eastern mountain range for a while. There is nothing good about falling apart.”
“It doesn’t matter. I came with the flag of Marquis Benting, but I won’t be able to do it myself, and at least I will act like a child like today.”
“I will definitely use numbers.”
“Then I’ll grab it, stretch it, and bite it to death.”
“…….”
“It’s a joke, a joke. It’s a problem because it’s too serious.”
Hyeonjun grumbled and patted La Hansen on the shoulder.
“Jun, you’d better not joke.”
“Uh, you’re kidding me that you don’t have a sense of humor.”
Lahansen gritted it. I’m really sick of it, I’m going to die
“There was a mage inside. You must have noticed that I am a mana knight.”
“Ummm…”
“Well, it’s only half.”
Hyeonjun returned to the barracks. The mercenaries who went to the bar haven’t returned yet, so it’s empty. Hyeonjun pondered for a while before picking up his longsword for training. Lahansen followed suit and went behind the barracks to face him.
“ha… . I also need to study armor swordsmanship.”
“I don’t have any armor right now, so what should I do?”
“Would Turaion teach you?”
“What, wouldn’t it?”
Hyeon-joon pressed La Hansen with his training longsword. It wasn’t as random as before. It’s good for raising Lahansen’s experience and sense, but now it’s swordsmanship.
Of course, when this is over, he will enter Dalian and ruthlessly drive La Hansen. Hyeon-jun constantly corrected his posture with La Hansen, testing movements derived from several postures. Grip and wrist angle, arm height, foot position and step timing.
In fact, it is a process that Hyunjun does not need. He can quickly become stronger just by sparring. This is because you can do just the right movements according to your needs without standardizing your movements. All you need is experience and research on movement for that.
“Let’s fight now.”
“okay.”
Hyeonjun swung his sword and charged. It is a movement that invites La Hansen to test the postures and movements he has just created.
Hyeon-jun continued to press on La Hansen by mixing things he had made before.
“I feel pretty good now.”
“hmm! Whoa… . If you can’t improve after doing this, you’d better give up.”
At those words, Hyunjoon flinched. This is because Hyeon-jun’s magic is completely stopped. It cannot be said to be stagnant. never developed in the first place.
Hyeon-jun swung his sword, then twisted his arm to change the path of the sword, and in response to the sudden movement, before touching La Hansen’s sword, which changed his posture, he swung the sword around to retrieve it and cut it from the other side.
In the end, Hyeonjun’s sword hit La Hansen’s side.
“…….”
“what?”
“… no.”
Hyeon-jun, who took out his anger with a move that La Hansen couldn’t react to, let out a deep sigh. That really hits the bone.
After a while, the two lowered their swords and moved in front of the barracks at the sound of footsteps. Looks like the mercenaries have returned.
“How was it?”
“Let’s go in and talk.”
At Hyeonjun’s words, Gunther replied with a grin. The mercenaries who entered the barracks sat around and started talking.
“First of all, the mercenaries and soldiers were fine. You raised the banner of Benting, and since they knew you were a noble, there was no one to argue with.”
“Nobles and knights tried to f*ck me, but.”
“What? How was it?”
“I shut up and came out.”
“Lahansen, you should have taken good care of it.”
“sorry.”
“hey.”
Gunther grinned as he said that. The same goes for other mercenaries. I don’t want to see their captain slammed in the head. Everyone will.
“So, did you get anything?”
“Well, it is said that this place is quite relaxed. inner wall only. They say the outer wall is always a battle wherever you go.”
“That’s why there were such assholes.”
No matter how much venting, you won’t be able to have outstanding commanders on all of that long front. There must be many places where there are comparatively poor guys like here.
Hyeon-jun looked down on the nobles and knights, but in fact, if they were wearing full plate armor, he wouldn’t be able to ignore them like he is now. In any case, they are the ones who protect the eastern mountain range front in the land of Benting. He would have the martial arts and skills to match.
“Anything else?”
“I heard about the princess.”
“How was it?”
Gunther stroked his chin and opened his mouth with a puzzled face.
“If you listen to the soldiers, they are worshiped almost to the level of faith.”
“Is that enough?”
“Yes. Everyone here is loyal to the princess. The same goes for the mercenaries.”
It is strange that the soldiers are loyal to the princess rather than the nobles they serve. What loyalty did the mercenary have to the princess?
“Were you brainwashed with magic or drugs like you did to Maxim?”
“Are you crazy, really?”
“I still don’t understand. Maxim, let’s just be the captain. June and Maxim mercenaries. I think this is better.”
“hahahahaha, I will decline.”
“How can you be loyal to a guy like this?”
“Stop it, motherf*cker.”
Ignoring the growling gunther, Hyeonjun took a moment to organize his thoughts.
It’s strange no matter how you think about it. I understand that nobles are loyal to the princess. If you win the civil war, you will become a queen and gain great power.
But soldiers and mercenaries gain nothing. Why are they only loyal to the nobles who pay them salaries?
“Any details about the princess?”
“It is said that she has black hair, bronze skin, and golden eyes. The soldiers called her Her Highness the Golden Princess.”
Hyunjoon frowned. Also, it is because the naming sense unique to that other world came out.
“If you have black hair and tan skin, aren’t you a black princess?”
“Hmm… They say that when you look at your eyes, that golden color is stuck in your hair and you can’t get it off.”
“Crazy, aren’t you really brainwashing me?”
Hyeonjun grumbled and said.
“Come to think of it, did you say that the princess’s mother… is not from the southern kingdom?”
“Yes. They say they are Sahats.”
“I’ll be thrilled.”
The king is a real crazy bastard. He coveted the Sahat people and gave birth to a princess, and the princess formed a faction and intervened in the battle for the throne, but he recognized his legitimacy. Even if you’d rather be an imperial person, Sahat’s ethnicity is different, and his appearance is also very different. There won’t be much resistance.
“Wait, then, that means Benting is the most ardent supporter of the half-Sahat princess.”
“okay.”
“Hey… .”
I’m going to break my head
“Isn’t it weird if you’re really brainwashing?”
“Apart from that, it’s popular. They say they fight at the forefront of the eastern mountain range.”
“A fight…?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes. She’s in her early twenties, and they say she’s a Mana Knight. They say the princess’s mother was a Sahat warrior?”
“Wow…. So what you mean, a half-blood princess born between a king and a Sahat warrior brainwashes people with golden eyes, rises to the level of mana knight at a young age, leads a noble body, and leads a soldier in the most dangerous place in the Southern Kingdom. You mean killing monsters with them?”
“okay.”
“Isn’t this bastard taking medicine?”
When Gunther looked at the other mercenaries, they all nodded.
“June, that’s an accurate summary.”
“Were you weak as a group? Where in the world is there such a person who is not a hero from some legend?”
“…….”
“It’s not what you say.”
“no….”
Everyone nodded as Lahansen spoke. Hyeon-joon had nothing to say even after betting on annoying him. There was a lot of magic and mana knights, but it was because I couldn’t explain the store and protection.
“Anyway, is it too much? Isn’t it an image created by the Marquis?”
“Even so, the words of the soldiers who have actually seen them. There are no lies in the golden eyes or the level of mana knight.”
“Write…”
Hyunjoon shook his head and tried to organize his thoughts. Everyone looked at Hyeonjun in silence. Hyeonjun has a good head and a good sense of humor. There are times when others come up with ingenious ideas that they could not have imagined. Most of it is nonsense, but there were times when I came up with a mysterious method to attract Turaion.
“I don’t know. Anyway, the princess… If it’s a strong and attractive person, we’re good.”
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that?”
Hyunjoon couldn’t think more. Anyway, you won’t know until you see it in person.
“I thought of a delicate image because I was a princess, but it wasn’t.”
“They say he’s very tall.”
“Oh…”
The image of a delicate blonde princess in a white dress was shattered, and a genius wrestler sneaked in.
Shosanna with dark hair, bronzed skin, and golden eyes… .
“Ummm..”
The scary fact is, if Shosanna is a princess, I think I can really trust her and follow her. He is loyal and trustworthy, as well as sociable and talented. That guy could be a really good boss.
“What are you thinking, doing that?”
“Lady of Swords.”
“aha.”
“Don’t give a damn.”
Hyeonjun let out a deep sigh and sprayed the water. Everyone got used to it now, so they just covered their heads and greeted me coolly.
“Is there any story about the monster?”
“They say there are a lot of long-legged Bachum these days.”
“Can I know what that friend is doing?”
“They are furry creatures that crawl on all fours.”
“You when you drink?”
Gunther swung his fist, but Hyeonjun gently dodged it.
“Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.”
“Bastards!”
“If you’re unhappy, can you explain it straight up?”
As Gunther was grinding his teeth, Maxim kindly explained.
“It has thick coarse hair all over its body, and its legs are very long, almost 1.5m.”
“hmm….”
Even if you say it like that, it doesn’t really make any sense. Aren’t most animals also hairy and long-legged?
“It feels like a combination of a spider and a monkey and stretched.”
“Uh… .”
“There are stories of him jumping between trees and squeezing people to death with his bare hands.”
Hyeonjun imagined the monster for a moment. … … it’s terrible
“There’s a lot of that in the mountains right now?”
“The guys stationed here say they see 10 of them on the outer wall every day.”
“How do the soldiers kill it?”
“They say they tie up those who climb the outer wall with iron nets and harpoons and hit them to death with long weapons.”
“I’ll turn.”
Fighting with crazy people like that every day, of course you have no choice but to become a strong army. No, in the first place, if it wasn’t for the strong army, I wouldn’t be able to survive.
‘The real one must be on the outer wall.’
The level of those in the military camp was also high enough to be considered elite. But they are all reservists. The true venting power will be in the exterior walls.
