Corea
Since the atmosphere is invisible like air and the smell is not felt, it has no choice but to grasp it through the vague sense of the senses.
Therefore, those who are ignorant will not be able to understand this atmosphere and will be in great trouble.
This is because the atmosphere of the wall is so rigid that anyone can recognize it at a glance.
‘Everyone was scared because there were so many new recruits… .’
Fear spreads quickly from person to person like a plague.
This area was much more atrocious than the soldiers in other areas because a lot of new recruits were deployed in this area as well.
“What are you so afraid of? Anyone who doesn’t know will think that the savages have already invaded.”
“Seniors… .”
A few days ago, a report came in that the movement of the barbarians across the wall was unusual.
It was heard that some of the tribes that were able to locate them were horribly slaughtered as if they had been baptized by magic, but the cause has yet to be determined.
Some say it was a powerful beast living in an unexplored area, others say it was the result of a defeat in a clash between tribes, but only rumors abound and no one knows exactly what happened.
The fact that you don’t know makes people afraid.
If I knew exactly what happened, I could have prepared for it, so it would have been a little less, but now the enemy was an unknown entity.
There was no way to prepare a plausible countermeasure. All they could do was strengthen the defense of the barrier or concentrate on training as usual.
“I understand, but don’t be too scared. It’s good not to get lax, but then again, you might not be able to use your energy when you’re still in the car.”
“I… Senior, I heard that you worked when the barbarians invaded 12 years ago.”
“Why?”
“No, that’s… I wonder what it was like back then.”
“Anyway, it was a total mess. A certain madman climbed up the wall with his bare hands and a knife in his mouth without a ladder, and then I thought he was crazy.”
“Well, aren’t you afraid?”
“… … Hey, you just lift your head and look under the wall.”
Even though he was making an expression asking what he meant by a new recruit, he gently raised his head and looked down the wall.
“How are you?”
“… … high.”
“Yeah, high. The bastard I was talking about died about half way up this wall when an arrow got stuck in his head.”
This wall was not an impregnable fortress that had never been breached, but it was a great barrier that was second to none compared to the walls of the royal capital.
The barrier was high, and many enchantments were enchanted to block impact, and the single gate had several times the enchantment enchanted on the wall.
The wizard who resides on the wall said that breaking the wall is faster than breaking the door.
“So don’t worry. If there is a wizard, there will be a sea of fire under the fortress wall, and above all else, look at me! I used to be stupider than you, but I’m still alive.”
As they joked, they all laughed as if their tension had eased a little.
But there was one thing I didn’t tell them, so I couldn’t help but laugh.
I survived that day, but most of my comrades died.
If there is a close battle like that, I wonder how long I will survive here, even if I will be able to survive before that.
‘It’s sad… .’
It’s not that the age difference between me and I is that much, but it’s always sad to see kids dying who couldn’t even get their bachelor’s tickets off.
One of the recruits said as I was thinking about taking Chang-gwan as soon as the matter calms down.
“But what happened to the frontier?”
“Well… . Maybe it was a beast or a war between themselves, but since you said it was broken into pieces, isn’t it a beast?”
In the unexplored areas, the magic is deeply permeated into the ground, and from time to time, a beast that cannot be compared to an ordinary beast is born.
One day, I saw the countess subjugating such a beast in an unexplored area and bringing a corpse, and he boasted of the majesty of thinking that it was a real creature.
“Perhaps this was also the work of such a demon. Or what did Correa do?”
“Corea? What else is that?”
“Ah, this is what I heard from a senior… .”
This is a story that has been passed down like a legend among the soldiers standing guard at the wall, so it is not certain whether it actually happened.
“70 years ago or 80 years ago… It is the story of a barbarian from a tribe called Correa who broke through this wall alone.”
It is said that the savage, who uses some unusual knuckle, created a huge shockwave and smashed the door just by holding out his palm.
He went forward after completely subduing the barrier, and it is said that he was beaten up by someone and went back to an unexplored area.
Usually, such a story ends with a nobleman such as a knight or countess defeating the monster, but there was no such ending in this story.
A human strong enough to break through the barrier alone, being attacked by someone who doesn’t know where he lives, turns his feet and goes back to unexplored territory.
Who the hell is happy to hear such a story?
“Isn’t it just a made-up story? If that had happened, there would have been a lot of commotion at the time.”
“It’s been a few decades, so how can you verify that? But for a story made up by someone, isn’t the storytelling a bit lax?”
“yes… little… .”
However, I wondered why such a weak story had not been forgotten and continued to this day.
That’s why everyone thought that maybe that’s what really happened.
“Even if it’s real, I said he looked like an uncle at the time, so if you’re roughly 30, you must be 100 or 110 years old by now.”
“Then, even if they attack again, I might fall down by grabbing my back before breaking the door.”
“That’s right, hahahaha!!”
While everyone was laughing and having fun, a grand trumpet sounded from afar to break the atmosphere.
This trumpet is the trumpet that is blown when a suspicious person appears near the wall, not the enemy.
“light!! Turn on the lights quickly!!”
When the magic tools placed on the wall were skillfully manipulated in case the enemy came at night, the recruits also manipulated the magic tools to light up the ground beneath the wall.
“What is that… ?”
It was a bald old man with a long, strange beard that was a mixture of red and blue that came into the light illuminated by the magic tool.
No, the horse is an old man, and those pulsating, muscular muscles were never something an old man could have.
“Seniors… It’s probably not Correa, is it?”
“… … Are you crazy?”
Looking at his face, it seems that the old man is at most 60 years old, but isn’t that age correct?
No, even if it was appropriate for her age, such a absurd nonsense story could not have actually happened.
“Then who the hell is that old man?”
“Aren’t you Nanda? that… We have to find out now.”

Maybe that old man has something to do with the massacre of a barbarian tribe that took place in an unexplored area.
Whether you’re a survivor of the catastrophe or the one who caused it, you must know something.
“There’s a suspicious old man!! Say your name!!”
A loud voice, as if emanating from a giant demon that was several tens of meters tall, echoed throughout the wall.
The new recruits who were not accustomed to the voice of speculation stopped shaking their hands without knowing it, but I was relieved and looked in the direction of the sound.
‘The knight is here!!’
The knight, famous as Count Vongrind’s henchman, was so strong that no one in this area knew him.
While everyone was reassured by his appearance, the old man slowly opened his mouth, and a huge voice that sounded like thunder resounded.
“Baekjeongnam!!”
Everyone reflexively covered their ears at the thunderous voice, but they understood the name clearly.
Baek Jeong-nam. It’s a weird name. As far as I know, there are no barbarians who use that type of name in the vicinity, but are they from a farther place?
As he was thinking such useless thoughts, the knight-sama, who frowned, shouted at the old man.
“Baek Jeong-nam!! This is the territory of the Fongrind family!! Come back!!”
“Fongrind… Yes, I know. A pathetic child who has barely left a family like this despite being the first to come.”
“What, what… !!”
I don’t know what the old man meant, but from what he said, it was clear that he had bad feelings for the vongrinds.
“I’m going to go down and behead this bastard right now!!”
“No, you don’t have to come down. I’ll be on my way soon.”
Saying that, the old man with his palms stretched out shouted with all his might toward the gate of the city.
“Bongchang!!!”
The shock wave that went forward with a strange technical name destroyed the gate that was said to be harder than the fortress wall, and continued without stopping there, dividing the land in two.
“Ahhhh!!”
It was a time when everyone was unable to properly control their body due to the wind pressure caused by the shock of technology.
The old man, who did not enter through the door even though he broke the door, and climbed up the wall in an instant, grabbed the other fingers except for the index finger in the form of interlocking fingers and threw it towards the knight.
“Middle-Geun!!!”
When three shockwaves, sharp as arrows, were directed at the knight’s body, the knight’s body shattered and fell to the floor like an egg that fell on the floor.
“Corea… .”
A fantasy existence that someone must have concocted has now become a reality after several decades.
