175 – The Blue Forest’s Tactician (5)
For a man, a situation where a beautiful woman insists on having a relationship with him could be like a dream.
However.
“Me too! Do it with me too!”
“…”
At least, the emotions that came to Kim Hyun-woo, who faced such a dreamlike situation, were only surprise and dizziness.
There were two reasons why he felt dizzy.
First, the place where Aria was holding Kim Hyun-woo’s arm right now was the office. And many servants walked around near this office.
Even for Kim Hyun-woo, who had rumors of spending his first night with Merilda and Lynn spread widely, this situation could only be embarrassing.
And secondly, Elena, who had been working hard on her morning report, was watching this situation with the same surprised expression as him.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-woo, who had his eyes tightly shut, had to appease Aria, who was holding onto his right arm and whining, for about 30 minutes.
And.
“Now, let’s put this story aside for a moment and go out for a bit first, okay?”
“…Okay.”
Elena, who had seen Kim Hyun-woo desperately trying to persuade Aria.
‘…This is a hero with the power of a great hero?’
She had heard from Kim Hyun-woo just now that he had similar power to other former heroes of Rartania, so she looked at Aria with a coldly indifferent expression.
And after a short while.
“…Sorry, I accidentally got a little aroused.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Elena shook her head in response to Kim Hyun-woo’s greeting after he had finally appeased Aria and sent her out of the office.
“But, is that woman really a former hero of Rartania…?”
“Hm, that’s right. Even though she looks like that…”
“I see.”
“Yeah…”
Kim Hyun-woo, who was looking at the door Aria had gone out with a strange expression, soon started to report again with an awkward smile, saying, Can you give me the report again? Elena hurriedly began the morning report again.
Then, a little while later.
“There’s nothing to worry about. Then, I’ll leave it to you today.”
“Understood.”
Elena, who had soon bowed her head after listening to the entire report, suddenly stopped as she was about to turn around and looked at him.
“? Why?”
Elena hesitated to ask Kim Hyun-woo, who tilted his head slightly and asked, wondering how he had tried to persuade Aria.
…Actually, rather than asking exactly how he had tried to persuade Aria, she wanted to ask if Kim Hyun-woo had persuaded her to do what Aria wanted.
So, Elena, who had been thinking for a while, soon made up her mind and said with a grin.
“By any chance-”
She tried to ask a question.
Thump, thump, thump-!
Soon, Elena stopped talking because of the loud noise coming from the door before she could ask her question.
Malone, the leader of the Knights, opened the door and entered without waiting for Kim Hyun-woo to tell him to come in. He bowed deeply in front of him, looking dumbfounded.
“I apologize, my lord! Please forgive my rudeness.”
Kim Hyun-woo waved his hand as if it was okay while listening to Malone’s words.
“No, it’s okay, but what’s going on?”
And.
“Right now, north of Lartania, a huge number of angels…!”
“Angels…?”
Kim Hyun-woo’s face crumpled at Malone’s report, which he gave with a very serious expression.
####
“…Huh.”
Kim Hyun-woo, who had immediately headed north where the wall was being built after hearing Malone’s report, couldn’t help but laugh in vain.

Because right in front of him, a huge number of angels, which seemed to be over tens of thousands at a glance, were emerging through the white light in real time.
In addition, the reason Kim Hyun-woo felt a great sense of crisis was because of the angel in the middle of the tens of thousands of angels, who had really huge wings and a body despite the fact that Lartania was quite a distance away from the angels.
‘What the hell is that?’
Of course, Kim Hyun-woo didn’t know what the huge angel was.
However, even though he didn’t know what it was, Kim Hyun-woo instinctively felt that the angel was definitely not an ordinary angel.
And.
Woooooooooooooooooooong-!
The huge light that had appeared in the north of Lartania went out.
[I am Metatron, the angel who stands on His right and enforces justice, the last foreign star of this world.]
The huge angel, who was leading the army of angels, opened his mouth, looking right at where Kim Hyun-woo was.
“Whew-”
Kim Hyun-woo frowned at the sacred voice that made his mind go blank even though he had only heard it briefly.
‘Damn it.’
It wasn’t that there was no teleportation magic in this world of Arteiel, but there was no large-scale magic that could move such a ridiculous number of people as far as he knew.
That was why Kim Hyun-woo had actually been able to receive information about almost all enemy forces a few days before they arrived in Lartania, and each time, he had been able to come up with appropriate countermeasures and repel the enemies.
Even when the Eastern Allied Clans sent their troops.
However, the army of angels that had just appeared in Lartania had appeared through teleportation, so Kim Hyun-woo had no choice but to face them without any preparation.
[Foreign star who fell into this world, you must enter a state of rest for His birth.]
[So, follow the great will and rest quietly. Rejoice in His birth and sleep peacefully. That is the only thing you can do now.]
Metatron spoke as if he was making a declaration while Kim Hyun-woo frowned.
Staring at such an angel, Kim Hyun-woo looked at the other heroes who were also standing on the castle wall and asked a question.
“…Merilda.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Is it possible?”
Kim Hyun-woo’s question.
To this, Merilda swung her tail as if she was in thought.
“It seems possible. Master.”
“…Really?”
“Yes,”
“I also think it’s possible, my Lord. However, the problem is those angels…”
Rin frowned as she looked at the huge angels that were densely packed like a swarm around that gigantic angel.
“…Honestly, it seems impossible to block all of those.”
“I will do it if Master orders me to.”
“It’s not a matter of doing or not doing, but a matter of possibility and impossibility. Even if I can crush the neck of that impudent angel who wants to kill my Lord, it’s impossible to defend.”
“…I agree. If we had a few more Artifacts, it might be possible, but with the current situation…it seems difficult to protect the people here…well, assuming that we’re fighting among ourselves.”
At Charles’s words, Merilda and Rin made questioning expressions for a moment and then spoke.
“Ah, now that I think about it, there was that person.”
“That’s right, maybe it’s possible if it’s Aria.”
Merilda and Rin spoke as if they had forgotten about that existence.
“Wait a minute.”
Then, Merilda immediately left that place after saying those words and returned less than 30 seconds later with Aria, who had a very sullen expression on her face.
“Ugh…”
Aria made a childish sound and had a sulky expression.
At the same time.
“My Lord, first of all, it would be good for my Lord to return to the Lord’s Castle.”
“…Can you do that?”
“Of course. First, I will take you there.”
Rin immediately hugged Kim Hyun-woo and disappeared from that place.
“…I was going to do it.”
Merilda frowned slightly as she looked at Rin, who had conveniently disappeared, but she sighed as if she couldn’t help it and spoke.
“Aria. Get up.”
“…Hmph, traitor.”
Aria turned her head away and spoke at Merilda’s words.
“…”
At that, Elena, who had been watching the current situation until just a moment ago, made a dumbfounded expression.
That was because even though countless angels were marching to attack Rartania right in front of her, Aria was turning her head away as if to show that she was pouting at Merilda.
‘Why on earth do you trust such a person…?’
The thought that came to Elena’s mind.
Just as Elena, who could see that Aria’s face was still full of sulking, was about to open her mouth without even realizing it.
“That huge angel tried to kill Master.”
“…What?”
“!”
Elena felt a chill.
“…What did you say?”
“That giant angel declared that it would kill our master.”
The words that Merilda uttered were only a few.
However, with just those few words, the face that had been full of childish tantrums and grumbling just a moment ago became expressionless.
No more pouting.
No more grumbling.
No more tantrums.
Not even a hint of timidity.
Nothing.
Just expressionlessness.
And the moment that empty gaze reached the angels advancing from afar.
BOOM-!
“!”
The blue bones that were rotating around her body began to multiply.
CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACK!!!
The blue bones spread out in an instant, as if bones were creating more bones, and they took the form of huge wings just like the angels.
────────────────!!!
The bones that made up those wings instantly extended beyond the castle walls and began to spread throughout Lartania.
And.
JINGLE-
As a book and a censer appeared in Aria’s hands, her clothes began to transform into a blue holy robe, and at the same time, blue smoke began to spread from the censer.
And.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■-!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wraiths began to emerge from the mist.
Monsters, soldiers, civilians, knights, bandits. Dragons,
───In other words, everything that had once been a living being.
[Oh, great princess-]
[Oh, great princess-]
[Oh, great princess-]
[Oh, great princess of the blue forest, El Lasian Aria.]
They appeared, calling out her name.
[Oh, king of the dead-]
To hear the name of the king of the dead.
And.
“Absolutely not.”
The march of the dead began.
