The most beautiful, noblest, most feared
The June & Gunter mercenaries headed for the outer wall grumbling tiredly.
I ate breakfast and slept for a while, but it was still not enough compared to sleeping soundly at night.
“Didn’t I say I had to sleep…?”
“If you’d been quiet, I’d have slept right away.”
Hyeonjun patted La Hansen’s helmeted head as he grumbled. Lahansen squeezed his irritation and pushed his hand away. I have eyes to see, so I can’t knock it out.
“That’s amazing.”
Gunther let out a laugh as he saw the monster material coming inside from outside the outer wall. Soldiers and workers are moving in perfect order.
“They say they do that every morning.”
“When I saw it, that was worse than nighttime. It’s so hard to get up at dawn and have a hard time, but wouldn’t it be like giving a day off like at night?”
The soldiers walking alongside nodded their heads. If you wake up early in the morning and do that, your day starts like a dog. That day, I just eat, sleep, and repeat. I have to climb the outer wall again the next day, but I can’t do anything else. training? train and go to sleep
When you climb the outer wall, you can see workers frantically collecting corpses from under the wall. Soldiers are in tight formation outside to protect them. One funny thing is, the monsters are just staring at it from inside the mountain range.
Hyeonjun asked a soldier.
“Why aren’t the monsters coming?”
“Because we’ve taken what we need and we can safely eat the remains.”
“Oh my God, I’ve learned.”
A monster with an impatient personality comes down from the mountain and prowls around, but when the soldiers stance and move, it runs away in a hurry.
“Those who wait like that are the ones with a lot of experience. Only come at this time, eat the corpse and leave right away. The only ones who stick to the wall are the inexperienced or confident in their strength. Of course, they are all dead and down there.”
Hyeonjun smiled at the soldier’s words with a grin.
The soldiers on the Eastern Mountain Front have pride and are capable of doing so.
“Those who come in at this time will be the most comfortable.”
Everyone nodded their heads at Gunther’s words. When the monsters devour the corpses piled up under the wall and retreat, there will be a gap for a while. It is the sweetest time.
“I’m sorry I caught you. Come on down.”
“no.”
At Hyeonjun’s words, the soldiers went down the wall in line with each other.
Hyeonjun climbed the railing and looked over his son-in-law, then sighed and sat down on the railing. I came looking for Halberd, but there is no monster to kill. Hyeon-joon slung the halberd over his shoulder, then turned it around and said.
“You’ll need a halberd with a metal handle too.”
“No matter how good your strength is, it must be difficult to deal with it, right?”
“If you use mana, you can crush full plate armor and even kill a knight.”
If Hyeon-jun, who has superior physical abilities, wields a full-metal halberd with all his might while spending mana, he will be able to win in one blow with full plate armor and bare feet.
Of course, there would be no knight standing idly by to greet Mana Knight as he swung round and round and wielded a metal halberd. Still, the first blow gives a shock, knocking it down, blocking its movement, and swinging it as it is to finish it off. If it was a decent article, that would be the end.
‘There are only minor differences between my physical ability and the other knights. Still, over time it can make a huge difference. The moment will come when you can use the power of the Mana Knight without using Mana.’
What would happen if he used mana for that formidable power?
‘I don’t know what level the Paladin’s strength is, but at that moment, it can be reborn as a unique being among the Mana Knights.’
Hyeonjun smiled and tapped his shoulder with a halberd. Let’s not be hasty. You have to look long. He will steadily grow stronger without stopping, and it will build up to form a huge castle. It just takes time.
Gunther looked at Hyeon-jun silently, then looked outside the wall.
“I’ll do it when I can afford it.”
“okay.”
Now they have no money left. They came all the way here to get the spoils from the enemies they killed and sold them, but most of them were consumed as food for 16 people and 6 horses.
In addition, it costs money for armament maintenance. It would have been difficult to repair weapons right away if the repair cost at the smithy hadn’t been cut in half by Anne Gunther’s mercenary corps at the military camp. You can see why the free mercenaries are plundering.
“It’s a weekly wage, so the money will come in a few days.”
“How much does it come out?”
“It’s not like there were so many originally because they gave us barracks and meals, but they said that our mercenaries are a bit special and give us more. Each person will drop 10 silver coins.”
Gunther looked at Hyeonjun for a moment and then nodded. Since Hyun-joon seemed to be thinking of sharing the same, I decided not to say anything.
Gunther is no fool. Most of the money the Jun & Gunter mercenaries will receive is Hyun-jun’s money. No matter how good your skills are, there is a limit, but you don’t give 10 silver coins a week while providing food and lodging to mercenaries. It is money paid to Hyeon-jun, who supports a section of the front line alone.
“Let’s take this opportunity to match the children’s armor first.”
“Isn’t it better to match your armor now?”
“If you wear full plate armor, your movements will be restricted. You won’t be able to move like you are now.”
While thinking about it, I also removed all the folds and tassets connected to the breastplate. But now you can’t pour money to wear full plate armor. Hyun-joon is thinking that if he buys durability enhancement to the end, he will be able to fight while being beaten with his bare body. It won’t be able to shed attacks like armor, but that’ll be enough.
“Then we need more money. Isn’t it just a matter of buying better armor?”
“Rather than that, strengthening the mercenary corps comes first.”
Hyeon-joon calmly organized his thoughts for a while before speaking.
“How about all the mercenaries armed with halberds?”
“… Even if you have training, it costs too much money.”
Excluding Hyeonjun, Lahansen, and the mercenaries who already use halberds, you need to arm 8 people. Since the Halberd soldier cannot lift a shield, the whole body must be tightly covered with armor. You need to buy at least 8 halberds there. Money beyond imagination will be broken.
“And although Halberd is strong, he can’t do that right now. We must maintain a unit among ourselves. It is much better to have a shield soldier than to have only a halberd soldier.”
“Um, yes.”
Hyeonjun answered that, but in his head he had already conceived. Hyun-Jun plans to arm all mercenaries with full plate armor and have them carry halberds. Of course, it’s not the full plate armor with magic, but the ones that come out at a low price. Of course, that also requires 100 silver coins. However, if that were the case, unless they were knights, wizards, or medium-sized monsters, they wouldn’t be a threat to them.
‘It’s a long time later. Before that, Turaion will receive the title of baron first.’
Below the walls, workers are hurrying inside after tidying up.
The soldiers retreated vigilantly, and the moment the sound of the walls closing was heard, the monsters rushed like crazy, like runners who heard a signal flare.
“It’s terrible.”
Workers ravenously gorge on the remaining flesh and organs after skinning and deboning. They push each other and slam their faces into their wide open stomachs. However, they do not attack each other. It’s because if you fight and get hurt and show a weak side, you could be killed by other guys.
“I want to kill you…”
“what’s the problem? kill it.”
“Then no.”
Now this time is set as the monsters’ mealtime. But when Hyeon-jun attacks, it collapses. There would be no problem with the walls whether small monsters attacked or not, but considering those who collect materials in the early morning, it can’t be. It is a tacit agreement between humans and monsters that was created naturally over a long period of time.
In fact, there are no soldiers attacking the monsters driven. Everyone is on high alert and ready for anything that might come up, but they just watch.
This monster’s mealtime is also good for humans. If the monster’s corpse remains and rots, it will give off a stench and cause disease.
After the meal, the monsters retreated like the ebb tide. At the bottom of the wall, there are only bloodstains and bone fragments. It was chewed up to the bone.
Hyeonjun stretched all the way up and stood on the railing. The monsters that finished eating left a gap, and it would take time for other monsters to arrive. It’s the most honey-like time for other people, but it’s a waste of time for Hyun-jun, who has to earn karma.
Hyeonjun made a stone with magic and put it next to the ballista and said.
“I have nothing to do, but I need to make a stone.”
“When will you be able to do that again?”
“I just got to do it.”
“Another nonsense…”
Now the mercenaries have gone over like that. It hurts my mouth to say more. Hyeon-jun came down from the railing and walked leisurely on the wall, stacking stones next to the ballista. The soldiers bowed quietly. In the meantime, the commander who found Hyeon-jun approached and said.
“What are you doing?”
“The ballista is filling stones for use.”
“Heh heh heh, thank you.”
The commander patted Hyeon-jun on the shoulder and laughed out loud. The stones that Ballista will use are all money. It’s to the point where there’s an earth wizard just for that.
But Hyun-joon made the stone without asking, so I laughed. Flowers will bloom on the face of the officer on duty if there is a guy in the military who does sundry linen and cleans the area he is in charge of, even though he didn’t even order it on a weekend morning.
Hyeon-jun returned to the mercenary group with enough mana left. I don’t know when and how to use it, but I can’t use all my mana.
Hyeonjun stood on the railing and looked over his son-in-law, then put the halberd on his shoulder and sighed.
“I’m not coming.”
“Still, can’t you come in a little while?”
“Write… .”
I have to earn karma, but how long do I have to waste time like this… . No, impatient again.
Hyeonjun smiled and turned the heavy halberd as lightly as a tree branch. At the same time, he thoroughly analyzed his body, which had rapidly become stronger. I adapted through the battle the night before, but it’s good to check this meticulously. Be clear about what you can and cannot do. A minor misjudgment can result in death. It’s not that I’ve gotten stronger step by step, but I’ve suddenly become stronger, so I must refine myself.
La Hansen carefully observed Hyeon-jun’s movements. He is turning the halberd lightly, but in reality it is like a storm raging around Hyeon-jun. A halberd with a particularly large and thick blade tore through the air without hesitation. Just because Hyeon-jun moves lightly doesn’t mean Halberd is light. If you enter there, even an armed person will quickly become minced meat.
‘He’s gotten stronger again.’
Now, even Lahansen has given up. At first, I was holding my head at the strength and growth that I couldn’t understand, but now I just want to do that. It’s because no matter how much you roll your head, there’s no way to explain it.

‘Now I’ll be able to win even if I really fight head-on with the knight.’
I think I can win without spending mana. The movement using full plate armor’s magic is explosive, but it is linear and lacks flexibility. However, although Hyeon-Jun falls short of that, he moves freely with strength, agility, and flexibility that transcends humans.
‘… … Jun, if I don’t play tricks, I’ll have no choice but to get married.’
No matter how mana or knight it is, it is an incomprehensible physical ability. In other words, before the power of mana, he was out of the human realm with his bare body. To get that blood, nobility or royalty would do all sorts of dirty tricks. Hyun-joon is strangely resistant to marriage, but at some point, his hands and feet are tied and he has no choice but to get married.
No, there is nothing to go until marriage. Whether it’s drugging or setting the mood, he’ll push the woman in and try to get a child without marriage. Hyeon-jun will not hesitate to do ugly, unimaginable things. For the sake of blood more precious than a thousand gold, it was nothing to throw the lives of one, two, or dozens of women into a pit.
Having lived in an aristocratic family, La Hansen knows that well. For that reason, there would be people who would use and discard all the women in their family as consumables, and women would give up their lives for the sake of their family without hesitation. This is because they are aristocrats before they are male or female.
If Hyun-jun’s blood is mixed and a monster like that is born, he can hit and climb as much as he wants. It is because another family will roll their eyes and run at it for that lineage.
‘… I wish I could just get married quickly.’
La Hansen clicked his tongue and watched Hyeon-jun manipulate his body. It would be better to marry a child of Turaion’s direct line even now…
It mattered nothing that Thurrayon’s unmarried child, Prinion, was not even ten years old. because he is a noble On top of that, Hyun-Jun is a strange guy who goes beyond being kind to a child and is very impatient with biting and sucking and not being able to spread. Thanks to Rahansen, who was an assassin, he survived and is learning swordsmanship from him.
Hyeon-jun would never lay a hand on that young child, and he would protect it very carefully until he grew up enough. He has a good personality and will make a good husband.
Also, even for the sake of lineage, Hyeon-jun will be treated very greatly, and his wife will also be able to gain tremendous influence. Even direct, their children are the overwhelming power in the succession competition. If there are no major problems, you can become the head of the household. Even if he is pushed out in the succession competition, he cannot be pushed out, so he will be able to firmly secure a place and continue to exert influence on the family. From the point of view of Prinion, it is unlikely that there will be another opportunity to find such a good husband.
‘I’ll have to talk about it again sometime.’
La Hansen sighed deeply, worrying about Hyun-joon’s future. It is Hyeon-Jun’s choice not to marry, but that choice does not allow him to wear a leash and become a stallion.
