Eastern Mountain Front
“You have to go to the outer wall to set the ball.”
“okay. Don’t worry.”
Hyunjoon smiled. There is no one who doesn’t know that Hyun-joon is worried about them. However, there is training and experience, and there is no one who will back down because he is afraid to come this far and fight. Now, wherever they go, they have the confidence to break their heads no matter where they meet the elite. Didn’t he actually kill 20 Askan soldiers?
“Okay. Then, for now, go to the inner wall as planned. When the inner wall is finished, let’s say we go to the outer wall.”
“hehehehe, yes. It’s better than trembling for hours with the wind blowing against the inner wall.”
“Lahansen is so small that Bahum can hold it with one hand, so I’ll have to be careful.”
“I’m not on the small side here.”
“…….”
When La Hansen said a word, everyone fell silent. In fact, La Hansen is not on the small side within the mercenary corps, except for the tall guys like Hyeon-jun and Gunther. As a servant, he has taken good care of his body, so he is tall for his age and has a good physique. There he is still 15 years old. will continue to grow
“I can’t even imagine how unlucky this guy will be when he grows up.”
“It will be just like you.”
Hyeonjun and Gunther said that while tapping La Hansen on the head and shoulders. No matter how big Lahansen is, it is smaller than both. Lahansen endured the humiliation silently. After all, as time goes by and you grow up, you may be bigger than them.
“Anyway, let’s rest for today.”
I have to wake up tomorrow morning And depending on the situation, you may head to the outer wall tomorrow. It’s good to take a good rest now to recover your stamina.

Fully armed, the mercenaries of June & Gunter stood at regular intervals on the inner wall, watching the outer wall rotate in the distance.
“Hey, that’s sh*t.”
The number of monsters seen in the four hours after being put into the inner wall is well over ten. From that long outer wall, 10 seems small, but to see the monsters from the inner wall, they must be tall, medium-sized monsters or climbed over the outer wall. The battles are sporadic, but they are constantly taking place.
Most of it has been done well outside the outer walls, but one type of monster keeps crawling up the outer walls. Hyeon-jun saw the guy from afar and knew at once that it was a long-legged Bachum.
As the name suggests, it grabs the outer wall with its long legs and climbs up vigorously. In some cases, it is treated before reaching the outer wall, but it is almost certain that it will come up once it touches the outer wall.
The appearance of the long-legged Bachum was somewhat unpleasant, if not disgusting like that of Tantares. The tough, curly hair is densely grown, and it looks like it is lying on all fours, but its legs do not come down like a dog or cat, but spread out in all directions like a spider. The body is smaller than expected, and the head looks like a monkey. It attacks by sweeping its long legs like a whip or by lifting it high and slashing it down, and its power can be guessed even from a distance.
“It’s amazing.”
Gunther admired. The soldiers on the outer wall were mercilessly butchering the monster. Throw an iron net with a sharp hook at the end, and hit the harpoon with a ballista to fix it firmly. After swinging the long weapon at the rampaging guy, he breaks his leg and then strikes him in the head to kill him.
The battle was manualized, so I rushed up to the monster that came up, killed it at once, retrieved the iron net and harpoon, and returned to the original place. I was puzzled to see that there was a ballista inside on top of the outer wall, but now I see it. I put it like that to write to the guy who came up.
“How is it? Do you think it’s worth doing?”
At Gunther’s question, Hyeonjun opened his mouth after drawing the battle in his head for a while.
“Hmm… I’ll have to listen to the halberd.”
“hehehehe.”
It is said that he can kill by himself with a halberd. You can kill it with a long sword, but it’s hard to do much damage to a big guy. Since I can use the halberd, there is no reason not to use it.
Everyone smiled at the words that seemed natural without pride or bravado.
It is a hundred times more reassuring to speak calmly than to shout.
“If you guys don’t make mistakes, I can kill you without too much trouble.”
“Still, they’re the ones who shouldn’t be caught off guard.”
“Of course. He’s just not that scary.”
Everyone laughed at Hyeonjun’s words. it’s bullsh*t One long-legged Bachum can annihilate a village. Although it is thin, it is a medium-sized monster, and when it stands up and raises its front legs, its height reaches 4m. His bristly hair made it difficult to spear, and even guards couldn’t stop him if he swung his arms. An hour would be enough to annihilate a village.
They say it’s not scary. It is the same as they see it. Not scary. It just feels a bit tricky. that’s how strong
“Jun, it’s shift.”
“Time flies. Good job.”
Then the soldiers who came up for the shift approached. Hyeonjun laughed, tapped him on the shoulder, and went down the inner wall.
Before climbing the inner wall, I said that I wanted to head for the outer wall. It was a nobleman I had seen at the banquet the day before, but he didn’t give a damn if he knew that Hyun-jun was a mana knight. Of course, it’s not easy to transfer an already organized composition, so I put it off, asking you to wait.
As Hyeon-jun approached the barracks to report, the nobleman smiled and said,
“Are there any problems?”
“yes.”
They smiled at each other, but a sharp atmosphere flowed along with the silence. The nobleman nodded and handed over a document.
“Didn’t you say you would go to the outer wall? I was worried that there were people who were injured on the outer wall, but it’s fortunate. You can go to the outer wall starting tonight.”
Hyunjoon smiled. It is said to enter the outer wall at night, where fierce battles take place even in broad daylight.
I heard stories here and there, and it is said that the road to hell truly unfolds at night. Since you can’t secure the line of sight, you can’t hit the monsters outside the outer wall with a ballista, so hand-to-hand combat is forced. Hand-to-hand combat with medium-sized monsters. It is natural for soldiers to die.
Autumn is deepening. As winter approaches, the monsters become more ferocious. Because of the lack of food, more and more people come down the mountain range, and there are also monsters who come down after them. Depending on the situation, if it is not possible to block all of the outer walls, there are times when the wires are maintained by simply flowing into the inner wall. 90% of casualties on the outer wall occurred during night battles. He is going to push the aristocrat Hyeon-joon there.
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a mark like this.”
Hyeon-jun took the document and turned around and left without taking a bow.
When Hyeon-jun left, the nobleman’s lips trembled, but he soon relaxed and buried himself in the chair. Today will be the last time I’m being arrogant.
Returning to the barracks, Hyeon-jun summarized and read the document in front of everyone.
“After dinner, go to the outer wall and carry out your mission for 4 hours, then take turns and come back. If you are put into the outer wall at night, it’s a day off. do it.”
“…….”
Lahansen took the document and read it through. And he smiled and nodded his head.
“Really.”
Look forward to the spirited appearance you showed the day before… . The outer wall is dangerous, but at the earnest request… . Nobles can’t bleed… . Filled the parchment with dog noise. Hyeon-jun grinned and received the document from La Hansen again, roughly rolling it up and putting it in his bosom.
“Gives idiots a chance to make a mark.”
The situation becomes difficult for the Marquis if Hyeon-jun is really in danger or dies. Hyeon-jun thought that the Marquis sent him to the front not only because of the princess, but also to make a proper contribution in a safe inner wall.
However, Gallion did not respond to this maneuver. It could be that Marquis recognized Hyeon-jun’s ability and allowed him to go to the outer wall, or that Gallion didn’t know the details and left it alone.
‘Well, it’s good from the point of view of the marquis if I make a contribution.’
From noble mtl dot com
Hyeonjun’s credit is Turaion’s credit, and it would be safe for Hyeonjun to set aside such a small contribution in preparation for a situation in which Turaion cannot play an active part in the civil war.
“Anyway, have lunch and get some rest. You’ll have to stay up all night.”
“okay.”
Originally, I was thinking of training behind the barracks, but if this happens, I can’t even train.
“By the way, how do the other soldiers and mercenaries train?”
“Soldiers take turns, mercenaries do it on their own, and only participate in training for group combat.”
Well, it’s not child’s play, it’s all decided how to fight on the castle wall. Being a mercenary, if you train separately, you may die and fall out, causing a hole in the wire. In such a situation, the June Ann Gunter mercenaries are committed to the outer wall without knowing anything.
“Well, if you kill all the guys climbing up the outer wall, there will be no problem.”
“Yes. The thing to do is simple anyway. Kill the monsters. And no matter how twisted they are, there is a limit. As time passes, we will have no choice but to involve them in training.”
“Let’s work hard for just one day. Well, anyway, will you teach me how to handle the ballista?”
“You can learn that from the soldiers on the outer wall.”
“Then no problem.”
Hyeonjun smiled and looked back at the mercenaries. Everyone has a confident smile on their face. Only La Hansen has a calm face.
“Let’s go get something to eat.”
The sound of a bell rang as soon as Hyeon-joon’s words ran out. Everyone jumped up and went out of the barracks. You will have to take a break and rest until evening.
***
Hyeon-jun grabbed the halberd slung over his shoulder as he walked along the path from the inner wall to the outer wall. The sun had already gone down, and a fire was coming up on the outer wall, dispelling the darkness. From a distance, it is quite spectacular. Other mercenaries and soldiers are also joining us for the shift. Hyunjoon looked at them and nodded.
‘There are those who are only on the inner wall, and there are those who rest on the inner wall and then shift to the outer wall.’
Maybe June & Gunter’s party will be like the latter. Hyeonjun turned his gaze and saw the knight walking the most in front. I couldn’t see his face because I had my visor down from the time I came to head to the outer wall, but it was probably not the knight I saw at the banquet. He didn’t speak to Hyeon-jun, he didn’t even look at him. It seemed that only the will to silently carry out his mission was all there was to it.
‘It’s me.’
Since they’re knights and nobles, you won’t be bothered to deal with them. As they approached the outer wall, everyone dispersed and went to their seats. Hyeon-jun also strode towards the designated location. Hearing the sound of the soldiers shouting and fighting, Hyeon-jun raised his halberd.
“I go first. I leave the command to you.”
“okay.”
Hyeon-jun jumped up the stairs at once and stood on top of the outer wall, and with the strength of his strengthened muscles, he accelerated to almost full speed in just three steps and jumped up. Then, putting the halberd in the center of the body, it quickly spun around, and using its speed and power, he swung the halberd in an oblique line.
puck!
Bachum’s head, which was about to climb up, split in two at once and fell apart, and fell outside the outer wall.
“What!”
The soldiers who were about to respond with nets and harpoons were startled. Hyeonjun swung the halberd round and wiped off the blood, put it on his shoulder and said.
“It’s a shift. Just tell me how to use the ballista and go down.”
The late June & Gunter mercenaries approached and settled down. The soldiers immediately came to their senses and taught them how to use the ballista. Originally, of course, they had to learn from inside the inner wall, but no one gave a vomit to what Hyeon-jun said while holding a halberd and staring outside the outer wall.
However, the soldiers were a little embarrassed. Because the number of June & Gunther mercenaries is too small.
There should be 3 players per ballista. There are two on the outside and two on the inside. With 4 ballistas in operation, there are only 4 of them left.
It also takes four people to lift the net. So who kills the monster?
Gunther gave a simple answer. Abandon the ballista inside the castle wall. In the first place, it would be enough to kill him without letting him come up, even if he did come up.
“Place yourself and shoot whatever you see.”
“yes!”
The gunners only stuck to the outside ballista and aimed outside. It’s better than hitting an ally after yelling at the guy who climbed the top of the castle when his skill level is low.
And they have Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun held a fist-sized stone that the ballista fired, then stepped out and threw it with all his might using his whole body.
puck!
Hitting the chest of an unknown monster that was sneaking up from under the outer wall, the upper body dented and shattered as it bounced backwards and rolled on the floor. It doesn’t even move. die instantly
Others could only see that something was moving in the darkness, but Hyeon-joon saw through the darkness and began hitting stones.
“Captain Jun, we have nothing to do.”
“there.”
At the mercenary’s words, Hyeonjun pointed his halberd into the darkness. As the one attached to the ballista aimed at it, Hyeon-jun slowly moved the halberd. The mercenaries fired after the halberd. A large stone flew out like a shotgun, and the mercenary aiming the ballista was startled by its tremendous power.
right!
puck!
“Ki-yi-yi!”
A monster approaching from hiding in the dark screamed in panic after being hit by an unexpected attack.
It was too dark, and most of them missed due to poor proficiency. But it was successful in getting rid of it. First of all, when you consider that at night, monsters often hide in the dark and come too close to strike with a ballista, pre-emptive strikes on enemies are incredible.
