Eastern Mountain Front
“Gee, I’ve been holding on too long. I’m sorry.”
“no.”
Hyeonjun laughed and replied to Gallion’s surprise as if he had suddenly realized the time.
Hyeon-joon was irritated, but he hid it well until the end.
‘I’m annoyed too, but it probably wasn’t a fun time for him either.’
How many things can two men have to talk about over tea that they have never even spoken to?
Only three days have passed since his life on the front line, and Hyeon-jun, who has just received the name of Turaion, cannot say anything that will benefit Gallion.
The conversation continued to go round and round, and the time for silence while drinking tea increased. Galion also smiles, but it’s not like he’s in a good mood.
When Gallion got up and stretched out his hand, Hyeonjun also reached out and held his hand tightly.
“Why don’t we have a drink next time when we have time?”
“I’ll come anytime if you call me.”
‘If you’re not going to talk productively, don’t call me unnecessarily.’
Hyunjoon gritted his teeth. But he smiled softly.
Hyunjoon is not an idiot either. I know that this position is to give influence to Hyun-jun. Already active on the outer wall, it imprinted its existence on the actual forces on the Eastern Mountain Front. In addition to that, the gallion sent by the Marquis invited Hyeon-jun to spend a long time together.
There’s no one left to give a f*ck to him in this camp. As the Marquis intended, Gallion is faithfully protecting Hyeon-jun.
Hyeonjun took a bow to Gallion and left the barracks with La Hansen. And when the distance from Gallion’s barracks got farther away, he let out a sigh and leaned on La Hansen’s shoulder.
“Oh, it’s hard.”
“It has many eyes and ears.”
“A heartless fellow.”
Even as Hyeonjun said that, he tapped La Hansen on the shoulder. Just as he spent hours chatting with Gallion, Lahansen spent his time standing silently behind him. Standing still is harder than walking without stopping. Lahansen’s steps clearly showed that he was tired.
“Soon it will be mealtime.”
“okay.”
As a soldier passed by them, La Hansen raised his horse. Hyeonjun also straightened his posture and spoke solemnly. And when no one saw them again, they grinned face to face.
“It’s fun because it seems like you’re joking about something.”
“But I can’t do this forever.”
Hyeonjun smiled and patted La Hansen’s head as he walked. What Lahansen said is right. Currently, Hyeon-jun is the mercenary leader of the eastern mountain range, but when Turaion comes, he cannot act like this even for the sake of his name. In fact, even now, I am riding the line narrowly. Between Hyeon-jun and the mercenaries, a wall called status has been created. Hyeonjun felt sorry for that.
“Then quickly become a knight.”
“Isn’t that what your heart is like?”
“You heartless bastard, just say you’ll do it.”
“You cannot lie.”
“Written, yes.”
Hyeonjun grumbled and walked briskly. It’s dinner soon, and as soon as the sun goes down, you have to climb the outer wall. I spent too much time with Gallion.
‘Let’s only think about karma for now.’
You won’t have to think about anything else for a while. You don’t know when the princess will come, and it will take a long time for Turaion to come. For now, let’s just think about getting stronger by earning karma.
***
When Hyeon-jun climbed the outer wall, the soldiers waiting for their shift raised their weapons and greeted him. Hyeonjun also nodded to them and drew his sword. Now, he proudly showed the Turaion pattern engraved on his long sword.
Actually, I was going to use the halberd, but damn I couldn’t go to the smithy to find the halberd because Gallion held on to it for too long. The other mercenaries were paralyzed from the fatigue of the night battle and mock battle the night before, so Hyeon-jun eventually climbed the outer wall with only his sword.
Hyeon-jun whirled his longsword and climbed up the highest railing of the castle wall. Then he turned his head and grasped the situation of the other walls.
The soldiers looked at him and smiled. It is Hyeon-jun, who became unknown among the soldiers guarding the outer wall overnight. Seeing him precariously climbing up on the railing and looking at his son-in-law, whispers are already circulating without Hyun-joon knowing.
‘From the left.’
Hyeonjun jumped down with a light gesture and jumped out. It accelerated at once and ran at full speed in just five steps.
While running, Hyeonjun held the longsword in his left hand and created stones in his right hand. Mana handling was inexperienced, so debris fell and the shape was a bit clumsy, but the size was sufficient.
Just as he was running, Hyeon-jun throws a pebble vigorously the moment he steps out with his left foot, recovers his posture, steps out with his right foot, and shoots straight ahead without slowing down.
puck!
“Keye!”
The stone pierced the soft belly of an unknown insect-type monster that had just climbed up the wall, and the monster’s body was pushed back and staggered by the impact.
Hyeon-jun moved his wrist slightly as he ran straight through the sword with his sword standing in the middle. Even with the slightest movement of the elastic wrist, the sword swung greatly, cutting off the front leg and digging into it.
“key….”
Then, when I twisted my wrist again, the sword blade swung up and passed as if it were brushing the thin neck of the monster.
Hyeon-jun passed by without slowing down, and the monster with its head dropped behind him crashed under the wall.
“Yeah…”
Only the severed forelimbs and head remain on the wall. And the head still doesn’t know that it’s dead, so it’s spinning its antennae and banging its jaws. A soldier exclaimed and struck it with a spear and pushed it into a corner. If you leave it alone because only your head is left, your ankles can fly off.
As Hyeon-jun continued to run, he hung the sword over his right shoulder and ejected a stone from his left hand. It hit Bachum on the head as he climbed the wall, but it did not cause much impact and only drew attention.
‘I’d rather just throw it.’
It was less than half of what Hyeonjun threw with his hands. Mana handling skills are low, so there is nothing you can do about it. A harpoon flew from the ballista at Bachum, who turned to Hyeon-jun.
Puff!
“Queue!”
One was hit in the front leg, and the other was hit in the torso. And the moment Bachum hesitated, Hyeon-jun put the sword on his right shoulder and dug it between his legs.
“hmm!”
I stepped out and twisted my body greatly, and the sword that was overturned behind me swung like a shot, cutting through my stomach.
Hyeon-jun passed by, and the intestines spilled from Bachum’s belly behind him, defiled the wall.
Bachum trembled and his legs broke and he collapsed.
Hyeon-jun never stopped running to the end of the wall where he was in charge of the military camp. When holding a halberd, it can be easily killed by chopping off limbs and splitting heads with heavy power, but it is also a little difficult to handle it freely like a sword and move quickly.
Hyeon-jun was running so fast that by the time he reached the end of the section, some soldiers hadn’t finished their shift yet. Hyeon-jun climbed the wall and killed the monster faster than those who walked all the way from the military camp.
When Hyeon-jun started running in the opposite direction, the soldiers greeted him by beating their shields. Because the previous time I had passed by so quickly that I couldn’t even say hello. I could barely react if I knew he was passing.
‘A sword is good for the soldiers on the outer wall, but a halberd is good for Karma.’
Hyeon-jun thought as he hurriedly ran over the railing.
There are eight monsters that Hyeon-jun has just killed while running. Among them, only three were killed by Hyeon-Jun himself, and all the rest inflicted fatal wounds. After he passed by, the dying monster was slapped to death by the soldiers leisurely. Compared to a halberd, it is difficult to kill with a thin and short sword unless you drop your neck.
Hyeon-jun ran all the way past the first wall he had climbed. There is also a place where the bodies are piled up after killing the monster that climbed up the wall. During the daytime, only a dozen monsters climbed up on the outer wall every four hours, but on the outer wall at night, so many monsters came up that it was really disgusting.
“hook!”
Pak!
Hyeon-jun twisted his body and threw a stone, which flew and shattered the head of one of the miniature monsters cornered under the castle wall and burrowed into the body. Hyeon-joon ran and bought dexterity enhancement 1 from the shop.
‘Sweet, sweet.’
At that moment, Hyeon-joon’s legs kicked the railing at a crazy speed like a broken toy. Hyeon-joon himself couldn’t adapt to his own speed, so he stumbled dangerously through the air on top of the railing.
‘Uh, surprise.’
However, as soon as he regained his stance, took the next two steps, and slung his sword over his shoulder, he was in complete control of his body. Hyeon-jun’s talent, which is hard to believe was given to humans, took only 3 seconds to control his body even if his speed suddenly increased like a marine hit by a steam pack.
Hyeonjun nodded while analyzing the strange sensation he felt while running.
‘Now the balance is right.’
When I bought only the strength-enhancing 1, I felt stuffy somewhere while moving. However, after purchasing Agility Enhancement 1, it became easier to control the body as the physical abilities were balanced. This allowed them to move more freely.
Hyeon-Jun literally jumped up the railing like a falcon flying across the sky. Then, with the body level with the ground, the sword was pressed close to the body and the pack turned.
It turned three times in the air at once, and fell down on Bachum, who was about to raise his arm and strike the soldier’s shield.
Hiss! widely!
The rotational force reached its peak, and at that moment Hyun-jun stretched out his arm, and tremendous power was put into the sword play.
Hyeonjun’s sword, despite its insufficient mass, cut Bachum’s front leg to the bone with unbelievable power and speed.
The moment Hyeon-joon landed on the floor, he gently rolled up to absorb the shock, and then bounced off Bachum at once, slapping Bachum’s neck.
chin.
“omg!”
The soldier, who held out his shield to block Bachum’s arm and prepared to deflect the shock, lost his balance and staggered slightly as Bachum’s arm fell and rolled on the floor. Immediately after, I was startled when the fallen head rolled around. Hyeon-jun passed by, and only then did he notice that he had passed by with the sound of the wind.

“ha ha ha!”
Hyunjoon laughed out loud in spite of himself. The movement Hyeonjun showed just now was too flashy and difficult to the point of being excessive. Hyeonjun’s sturdy knees and ankles were tingling, so he said everything. Hyeon-joon passed lightly with the power of resilience 1, but the ligament in his ankle was stretched and the joint sprained from the momentary shock. If another human did that, they would sit on the ground even after killing the enemy.
‘fun! Enjoy!’
The pleasure that comes from moving your body as you think! Hyeonjun literally flew in the sky like a hawk, fell down, snatched the prey, and cut off its breath. Hyeon-jun, who had endured the stress accumulated from f*cking aristocracy and politics, entrusted everything to the pleasure. Hyeon-jun ran over the wall, creating a storm with the flap of his wings like a hawk.
“Stop!”
“Oh!”
Hyeon-jun was startled by the sudden shout and stopped.
It was launched like a bullet in the air, rotated at an incredibly fast speed, cut off the monster’s front legs, and then rotated again, slashing the body long, before landing on the ground with its jaws. My knee joints were crushed by the sudden landing, and I stumbled forward, barely standing on one foot and jumping.
I couldn’t stand up straight because of the pain coming up from my knee.
“Go back to your seat!”
Hyeonjun looked around and quickly climbed onto the railing with one foot over 1m high.
“…this… .”
Hyeon-joon stood on one leg on a high railing, looked over at his son-in-law, and slapped him on the forehead.
He was so excited that he came to the wall guarded by another camp.
Hyeon-Jun is currently a mercenary hired by Benting and officially belongs to a unit. The only scope Hyun-jun can operate is the castle wall guarding the military camp to which he belongs.
The order given to Hyeon-jun now is to guard the wall in charge of the military camp he belongs to, and going to another wall was a violation of the order.
…that is, desertion.
“Kuhmm, heuhmm…”
Hyeonjun glanced at the man who had shouted at him. it’s a knight Well, if it wasn’t for the article, I wouldn’t have been able to shout at the timing of Hyeonjun’s arrival. If you were an ordinary aristocrat or wizard, you would have only known that something had passed.
“I won’t make it a problem, so please go back quickly!”
“… yes… .”
Hyeon-joon ran on one leg, slightly averting his eyes, and as soon as his knee recovered, he ran across the railing like the wind.
Everyone feels that way at least once in their lives. I have to give a presentation at 10:00 am, but I woke up feeling overly refreshed, or I checked the number of shell casings, but there was none, or I accidentally looked at the drain while washing my hair, and my hair was piled up.
‘I’m tired!’
Hyun-joon’s back was dripping with cold sweat at the dizzying sensation.
