Episode 63
The camp outside the headquarters was so dizzy that it was impossible to see even an inch ahead.
Great chaos mixed with the duke’s army, traitors, and even orcs!
“We have to escape from the front line first.”
Fafnir said after defeating the orcs crowding around him.
“It can’t be. We have to save Obama!”
The princess firmly commanded.
‘Damn it, the king will die soon?’
Fafnir, who knew the future, spat out curses inside.
‘It doesn’t matter if you die while helping. It’s a novel, but if you lose your contribution here, it’ll be difficult to follow other named users.’
“you! If you are the savior who came to save the original woman’s camp, hurry up and work hard to save His Majesty!”
However, if you don’t listen to the princess’s order here, that’s a problem too.
“Right, let’s listen to the princess first.”
Kindorhan helped from the side. Perhaps it was recognized as a quest.
“Please don’t talk about your gang without permission!”
“No, why only me… … .”
Royal and noble NPCs have different conditions and standards than normal NPCs.
It was strange that he interacted well with Kindorhan, who was a gangster by profession and had no related stats.
“Um… … .”
Fafnir closed his eyes tightly.
‘Okay… … . But now we’re a party. I might be able to overcome this situation.’
As I squeezed my thoughts, I came up with an answer.
“It would be difficult for us alone to go in to rescue His Majesty. I think it would be better to absorb the nearby noble forces and go out to save His Majesty.”
Fafnil organized his thoughts as rationally as possible and posted an outline.
“that… … You are right. Looking at the current situation, Grand Duke Gowyn… … That serpent must have betrayed him. I will do as you say.”
– A new hidden quest ‘Save the King’ has been created.
From noble mtl dot com.
[Save the King.]
-Rating: Unique (Hidden)
[target]
– Rescue of Noble: (1/??)
-Rescue the King: (0/1)
– Reward: EXP, ???
A quest that gets your nose stuck!
“then Let’s go. Our Fafnir party will join the princess.”
As advised by Fafnir, the princess army did not immediately advance to the camp of their parents.
The front line is still maintained by the Kingdom Knights.
The current internal front was a chaotic melee due to the surprise attack of the anti-air force and the elite Orcs.
“For the chain of command, I will now put my words down.”
“yes.”
“Whoa, first we have to save Count Corvo. to move.”
The princess who led the army at the forefront ordered Fafnir.
“yes? But in this area, I think it would be better to save Count Bertrand and the Black and White Knights.”
“Oh, it looks like you remember the organization of our army well for adventurers. But that doesn’t work.”
Count Bertrand and the Black and White Knights were each one of a hundred elite.
Would it be of great help if knights over level 300 joined?
Fafnir tilted his head.
“Why?”
The princess looked at the wires with a cool gaze and said.
“Count Bertrand cannot be trusted. He might have joined hands with the Grand Duke. And I still don’t fully trust impostors like you.”
Fafnir narrowed his brows.
‘What bullsh*t? Princess why are you like that? The princess at the time Flush met… … Were you very obedient? Why are you so fussy? Somewhere different from the characters in the novel I remembered.’
It was when Fafnir thought so.
“Chwiik!”
“Protect the princess!”
A group of orcs broke through the human barrier created by the princess’ bodyguards and stirred up the inner camp.
Some of them came close to the princess.
“No. 1! No. 2! Protect the princess!”
Dalgrak, shut up!
At Fafnir’s command, skeletons rose from the ground.
“Chwi, chwiik!”
The sudden surprise of the elite skeleton soldiers shocked the Orcs.
In preparation for an unexpected surprise, Fafnir had the elite skeleton soldiers ambushed on the ground.
“Chwiik!”
The Orc warriors could not withstand the attacks of the skeleton soldiers coming up from the ground and died bleeding.
“That… … .”
“It’s a skeleton disease.”
The princess, who was watching the scene from the horse, frowned.
“Were you a necromancer?”
“Yes, it’s not very far, but I’m following the law of death.”
Tsk, the princess clicked her tongue.
-Princess Elizabeth’s affinity decreased by -1.
“The situation is the situation, but to have to borrow the hands of a dirty necromancer is a shame as a royal.”
‘… … ?’
Only then did Fafnir realize the reason for the princess’s sullen reaction.
‘It must have been because he was a necromancer.’
In the future, Flush worked as a Holy Knight of the Goddess of Fortune.
Paladins are also classified as knights, and the goddess of fortune is also a goddess who maintains good relations with mainstream gods.
If you liked it, you received it, and there was nothing to be ignored.
On the other hand, Necromancer is a class to avoid dealing with corpses and darkness.
It was difficult for ordinary people to talk with nobles.
‘The contribution is 1st, and the reputation level is much higher than average, so that’s why I’m talking about it.’
Originally, he tried to escape the princess and take care of the nobles in moderation, but things go more twisted than expected.
It seemed that the future would not be smooth.
* * *
The night before Duke Gowyn’s forces betrayed him.
There was a sound of table legs breaking in the camp of the kingdom army.
“Kwaaa!”
Cheol-deok Park, CEO of Daesan Products.
The Iron and Blood Warriors, the ruler of Horizon’s Iron and Blood Warriors clan guild, were in a state of anger as if they were about to blow steam out of their ears.
‘To such a gore-like bastard.’
Make good money and have a good reputation.
Park Cheol-deok has lived a smooth life.
However, his reality was not so bright.
He is estranged from his wife and neglected by his children.
They have never been in the same bedroom, let alone married couples, and instead of a warm word, a daily life full of silence.
However, it was different in Horizon, a virtual reality game I started for fun.
He was like a king.
Family relationships in real life tend to be disappointing, but in the game it was different.
Buy items with overflowing money.
He manages the guild with the skills that helped him rise to the position of president.
Through the popularity of middle-aged people who were quite affluent, they even had elite members.
Jang, a former military sergeant, was appointed as an internal affairs officer, and an officer from the school corps was appointed as a military officer, and the iron and blood alliance has been victorious.
But I’ve been thinking too realistically.
‘Now, the only thing left to do is to win and win in Horizon… … . I am such an idiot!’
On the second day of the day, the guild alliance forces belonging to the Iron Blooded Blood Alliance suffered devastating damage from the attack of the Orc army.
And that’s not all.
The furry kid from Five Star who showed up last.
In the meantime, the bloody sweat of the bloody sweat of the blood and sweat, and took away the holladang, and the guild union’s military rights were taken away.
‘For me… … . There is only Horizon.’
The iron-blooded army trembled with humiliation.
Even his career as president of Daesan Industrial Co., Ltd. is new blood compared to Five Star, the successor of Ohsung Group.
“Boss, then your ability will decrease.”
“I have to run on the battlefield tomorrow too.”
The guild members comforted the iron-blooded gang, which was said to be poisonous, although they were not actually drunk, but drank mead like water.
“it’s okay! Horizon told me to call you Lord!”
“No, the defeated brother!”
“But, you have to raise your contribution on the front line tomorrow.”
Subordinates scratched the back of their heads.
A middle-aged man with a broken heart. It was also difficult to appease the boss.
“Heh… … . Are you the Iron-Blooded Crew who are well-known among adventurers?”
It was then.
A voice came from the darkness.
“Who are you?”
Subordinates drew knives.
In reality, they were the employees who accepted the president’s drunkenness, but within Horizon, they were strong people in their level 170s.
Something popped out of the darkness.
It moved in a zig-zag like a flash of light.
“Kheuheouk!”
The 170-year-old masters fell to their knees in an instant, coughing up blood at his attack.
“What, what?”
Only then did the iron-blooded troops come to their senses and draw out their great swords.
A huge sword that cannot be held with one hand.
The monarch, after all, is a two-handed greatsword, and the iron-blooded sword was the weapon he himself chose.
“Heh… … . The escorts are weaker than I thought. I didn’t kill him.”
The iron-blooded army felt the alcohol run away. Of course, I don’t actually take it, and I don’t have such a function.
It was as the breastplate said. The HP of subordinates in the party window was 1.
Considering that it is more difficult to reduce HP to 1 than to just kill, the beast was a really high level.
Slowly, the chest beast took off his robe.
“You, you… … .”
The two-handed greatsword of the Iron Blooded Troopers trembled.
The beast was none other than the white Lizardman.
A famous named monster.
Lizardman Idaltir, one of the four Orc Kings!
“What, what is it? It’s not even a wire, so how can he do that?”
“Pick up the sword. I came because I wanted to talk.”
“what?”
“Someone wants to talk to you. Will you follow me?”
“A story?”
“If you don’t agree… … . It doesn’t matter.”
Lizardman flicked his snake-like tongue.
‘If I die here… … . The loss of experience is too great.’
The iron-blooded army sent an uneasy look and reaped the greatsword.
“Okay, what happened?”
“Heh heh… … . I have a nice suggestion.”
At that moment, a quest appeared on the iron-blooded army’s retinas.
-Will you betray the kingdom?
-Rating: Legendary
* * *
Count Corvo’s headquarters was constantly blocking the attacks of the Orc horde.
When Fafnir’s party joined in and organized the Orcs, a gap was finally prepared to take a breather.
“Count Corvo, you’re all right.”
“Your Highness the Princess!”
Chuck, Corvo knelt down.
“It will be dangerous here sooner or later. The princess, hurry up and hide yourself.”
“I cannot go alone. We need to help His Majesty, so join us as well.”
“Okay, then I will lead the army… … .”
Duke Corvo, who instantly recognized Fafnil, opened his eyes wide.
“No, are you Fafnir? Were you here too!”
“Do you know the interest rate?”
“Yes, I subdued the orcs underground in the capital, and I am the one who turned their strategy in vain in the southern fortress.”
“Hoo… … .”
Elizabeth put on the look of seeing again. In the meantime, Fafnir watched the war situation.
‘It’s not long.’
Almost half of the kingdom’s army, which numbered over 100,000, had disappeared.
A green tide full of orcs rushed right up to their feet!
I knew it would collapse, but it was faster than I thought.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Fafnir said to Elizabeth.
“Next we have to go south.”
“South?”
“Yes, according to my men, there are reserves there.”
“… … After that, I know.”
Unlike before, the princess followed meekly. Fighting continued on the way south.
“Chwichwiik! They are humans in armor!”
Orc blood demons and berserkers infiltrated the headquarters.
Instead of dodging, Fafnir moved forward, crushing them from the front.
Dangerous, but at least the fastest way!
– You saved Baron Sellon.
– Rescued 1 additional noble.
-You saved Viscount Twilkhan.
– Rescued 1 additional noble.
I was able to save a few more nobles.
Despite the fact that Orcs began to flock in from all directions, they achieved remarkable results through all kinds of hardships.
“Fafnil-nim!”
“I see!”
I could see Hilde and the others waving their hands in the distance.
“As expected, you are an adventurer who saved the capital. You suffered.”
“no.”
Count Corvo congratulated Fafnir with an admiring expression.
“If we overcome this crisis, I will definitely recommend you to His Majesty.”
The benefactor of not only himself but also the princess and various nobles!
From noble mtl dot com.
Even the ability to manage the situation in a chaotic battlefield, even though he is a necromancer, he deserves a recommendation.
“Is the five nobles joining the rear reserve?”
Glance.
After checking the soldiers, Elizabeth said.
“This should be enough to rescue His Majesty.”
Fafnir approached Elizabeth and reported it.
“Now you just have to retreat slowly while protecting the front.”
“Am I the only one running away now?”
“no. In fact, His Majesty was the first to escape.”
“No, that’s right. With the information this adventurer told us, we have prepared for His Majesty’s escape in advance.”
“… … .”
Elizabeth looked at Fafnir suspiciously for a long time.
“Okay, go first.”
I wouldn’t have believed it if Count Corvo hadn’t joined.
“Hilde-sama, please escort this person to escape.”
“What about Fafnir?”
“Because I’m a necromancer, I should go rather than benefit.”
“but… … .”
“Let’s go, Hilde. Secret sent me a message to come out soon.”
“… … Be careful, Fafnir-nim, and come out before it’s too late.”
Following Drexler and Veron, Hilde also got on the horse and set off.
A message appeared in front of Fafnir’s eyes as he watched Elizabeth’s party move away.
– ‘Save the King (Unique, Hidden)’ quest has been completed.
– Unfinished quest conditions remain.
– Although they did not save the king, they succeeded in escaping Princess Elizabeth and the nobles who inherited the royal blood. When the Kingdom of Baran perishes, they will become the lingering fire and build the foundation to restore the kingdom.
-Experience gained.
– Level up!
“Thank you. If it hadn’t been for the lie, the princess would have stayed here all along.”
“Aren’t you going to the Count?”
“Heh, I’m a greedy man, so I need honor to fulfill my job.”
The Count suddenly raised his head and asked.
“But what are you, how are you going to fight?”
“I have no particular idea.”
Fafnir grinned.
“I’m just going to go in and fight and try to hold out as long as possible.”
Enemies were approaching this place before they knew it.
Fafnir thought as he watched the orcs approaching.
‘In reality, I rode a horse and swept through a battlefield like that.’
It wasn’t particularly sad or longing. It was because the orcs in front of me made my hands sweat dozens or hundreds of times more than the data enemies that came out in VR.
‘It’s a good opportunity.’
The level has risen considerably, and the ability, command, and connection of the skeleton soldiers have grown considerably more than that.
The battlefield full of countless dangers was a land of unprecedented opportunity to test Fafnir’s abilities and limits.
