Episode. 18 Army of the Dead (1)
“Where do you want to go in this situation!”
“Bocchan, I’d rather go with you.”
Leo and Aaron were paired against each other.
I didn’t think I would be able to let go anyway.
“I’m going to the plains of Nar. I’ll be back soon, so I’m guarding the castle.”
At my words, Leo’s brow furrowed.
“The Plain of Nar means… … Or, are you going because of the spirits?”
“okay.”
Nar Plain, southeast of Rio Castle.
There were things that could be called spirit creatures or artifacts.
It’s a waste of time here and it’s a waste of time to miss it.
“Even if it’s a spirit creature, there’s no way it’s still alive. He must have become undead or died.”
“I am alive.”
He wasn’t the kind of guy who would die in the first place.
If there’s a problem, I wonder if it’s contaminated with Magi, but I had to hurry up before that happens.
“Spiritual creatures cannot be tamed. What are you going to do in the plains?”
“Are you going to tame it?”
“under… … .”
I said looking at Leo who grabbed his forehead.
“If I feel anything strange on the way, I will come right back. Don’t worry too much.”
“Call out people and go. No, I will send some of the 1st Knights.”
nonsense.
I shook my head at his words.
“I will go alone.”
There was no one in Rio Castle who could break my stubbornness.
Like that, I left Rio Castle as if I was roasting beans with lightning.
It’s been a long time since I ran on the ground where the stench was rising.
The sky, indistinguishable from day and night, was pitch-black all day, and there were unpleasant vibes everywhere.
Purr-
“Wow.”
I calmed down the riotous horse.
Perhaps it was because it was close to Pauline Castle, and the magi that seemed to cut flesh pressed down on all sides.
From noble mtl dot com
‘It’s serious.’
Even after the war, this area will be called the cursed land and will be empty.
For the Baren Kingdom, half of the country would become Muju Gongsan.
“Kieack!”
“Kreuk!”
Upon arriving at the ruined estate, two undead standing there suddenly attacked.
What appeared to be a ten-year-old girl and the corpse of an adult female.
squeak-
With a sword drawn like lightning, he cut two heads at once.
Besides that, there were corpses staggering around here and there.
“Keeck!”
After cutting off the head of the attacking undead, he hurriedly crossed the territory.
Today is three days since I left Rio Castle.
The enemy did not feel any sign of it yet.
It’s just that the magic is constantly fluctuating.
It was time to think that I had to finish my errands and go home.
“Hee hee hee!”
“… … !”
Out of nowhere, the horse went mad and ran amok.
Even though she tried to calm her down using her faith, she was frightened and couldn’t keep her body steady.
At the same time, I felt that I was living right next to me.
Slow-!
In an instant, a slash flew.
Before I could react, the horse’s long neck fell off.
“Who are you!”
“Turn off, uh… … .”
Someone appeared over the building.
It was a knight who guarded the territory, or it was a corpse clad in silver iron armor.
The guy opened his mouth.
“Undead… … kill… … .”
Eyeballs infested with maggots turned to me.
Do I look undead in the eyes of that corpse?
It seemed that he acted with only the last memories of his life.
I didn’t have time to waste on a guy like that.
I hit the ground and charged.
Kang-!
Swords collided in midair.
once, twice.
We divided the sword strikes about fifteen times.
“Keep it, everything… … my family… … Lord… … .”
That was his will.
I looked down at the corpse, which had been neatly decapitated.
I also thought it was good that I came alone.
If the knights of the Allied Forces had seen this, it would have had a significant impact on their morale.
Such a terrible sight was spread out all around.
Feeling the chill of the ice crown, I moved on.
◈ ◈ ◈
“comrade! Are you dying here again? Chwik!”
He looked at Moritz with eyes full of pity for the rapture.
After Richard suddenly left, Moritz spent time on the castle wall.
The way he stared blankly at the Allied flag looked like a puppy waiting for its owner.
“Damn it, when will Richard be back?”
“You say it’s been a few days. Aren’t great human warriors so good?”
Moritz frowned at Rapture’s words.
That’s good, b*tch.
He thought he was just sticking around to eat using Richard’s light.
‘Being next to him rather than this flag gives me more peace of mind.’
I didn’t even know why.
The light that Richard subtly radiated from his body touched Moritz even more.
“Rapture. How was Richard when he fought the dragon?”
“That was great! Chwiik.”
Rapture raised the corners of his mouth as if recalling memories.
Then, he told the young orc who looked like me in detail.
Everything from the confrontation between himself and Richard to the situation when fighting the dragon.
“I felt it then. ah! It’s going to be a lot of fun with that great human warrior. Chwiik.”
“… … .”
“The 3rd Knights called him the Lantern. Chwiik, doesn’t it suit you quite well?”
“joy.”
Moritz looked up at the flag without a reply.
be a lamp
really suited
Because I watched him too.
The scene of changing the battlefield in an instant and punishing even the traitor who was plotting the collapse of the alliance.
‘Actually, I couldn’t do anything.’
The renegade Pole Helga defied Leo of Battenberg and showed unfiltered disrespect.
Even so, he was only trembling under the pressure of the atmosphere in the meeting room.
It made me angry.
“You seem to admire a great human warrior. Even though we don’t get along very well.”
“If you’re going to talk nonsense, get out of here. What nonsense is that I long for that child!”
Rapture laughed at Moritz’s sharp words.
“But comrades have their own talents. Chwik! There is no need to try to imitate the great human warriors.”
“Am I following you?”
“I follow everything from breathing to gait.”
It was true.
Although unintentional, Moritz could occasionally find himself mimicking his brother.
But he was too young to admit it.
“Tta, it’s not me who is copying him, it’s him!”
“hehehe, is that so?”
“… … Noisy.”
It was when the two of them were talking.
“Hey, Master Moritz! Rapture!”
A faint voice came from behind.
It was Mary with both hands full of rice balls.
“Oh, Mary Sozer!”
After seeing her, Rapture’s red face turned even redder.
“hehehe, 20 rice balls requested by Rapture!”
“I was going to pick it up, but I’m sorry I made you come. Chwik.”
“Shouldn’t the warriors be able to do that much?”
“Your heart is as beautiful as your face. It is like a flower blooming on the battlefield.”
The face of Moritz, who had been watching for a while, was rotting.
An Okrani who works on a human woman.
“Eat comrades too. A rice ball made with water imbued with the power of a great human warrior.”
Moritz obediently accepted the rice ball.
Then he looked at Mary.
“You were Richard’s exclusive maid, weren’t you? I couldn’t understand it all along, so why are you following me all the way here?”
I was sure it was a face I had seen somewhere.
Thinking back on her memories, she wasn’t the lady-in-waiting that Richard had been harassing.
“Oh, that’s right! I have come to help the warriors.”
“Richard is crazy too. Bringing civilians with you.”
He really doesn’t understand…
It was when he was muttering like that.
Mary smiled and opened her mouth.
“saint… … No, I didn’t come because of Master Richard’s order.”
“what? then?”
“I have received a revelation to spread love and peace.”
Moritz couldn’t understand even more.
The slogans that civilians put at the end of every word made it hard to get a scab on my ears.
“Chwik, can’t you give me your love?”
“Ahahahaha… … I will give peace to the hero!”
Also, why is that girl so bright?
I felt like an idiot for no reason at all.
“Brother Moritz. You seem to have a lot of trouble with your face.”
“Never mind.”
“Chwik! comrade! What is your habit of talking to Mary Sojour!”
Mary smiled quietly.
I wanted to tell him to believe in Hor right away and seek the light.
However, as Richard had requested, he was just waiting for the right time.
◈ ◈ ◈
Meanwhile.
Numerous corpses were gathering in the estate near Pauline Castle.
“Count, Your Excellency… … Exodus Joon, Rain… … complete… … .”
“The undead… … punishment… … .”
thud-! thud-!
The sound of drums rang out.
Hundreds of dead knights and thousands of lesser undead gathered.
“Woo, King of Li, Kook! Baren, ul… … occupied… … Eh, Dead… … ! every… … Punish it, la… … !”
“That, uh… … !”
A piece of the samurai who guarded Paulin Castle.
The knights of Count Feuir raised their swords.
They really prepared for battle like living knights.
I wasn’t going to eat, but I gathered food,
I wasn’t going to sleep, so I packed my tools for camping.
In his stopped heart, he had the conviction to regain the Kingdom of Baren.
“Varen, Teeth Lung, hahahaha… … Dying, standing still, suffering, suffering, all… … ! Peace to him… … !”
To them, the living looked like the undead.
Rio Castle, guarded by the Muga Alliance, was the fortress of the dead, and the kingdom of Baren was the cradle of evil.
“I, military… … Exodus, la… … !”
The army of the dead began to move.
Knights, including Count Poir, ran in the lead, followed by thousands of undead.
The dead heading to the land of the living.
A real war was coming to Rio Castle.
And it sent a chill down Richard’s spine.
“I might be late.”
Sensing the turbulent demon, he frowned.
He promised to return as soon as he sensed it, but he had already arrived at Nar Plain.
It was wiser to hurry up and find the Lion King and then go back.
“hey! Where are you!”
He screamed out in frustration.
The Lion King, who wanders around for two days and does not see even a peep.
It was when he wondered if he had moved the territory.
Whoa-!
A daunting roar echoed across the plains.
At the same time, a huge pressure hit from afar.
