Episode 139. Abyssin’s Field (1)
“Whoa. Isn’t it proud of something? To express gratitude to someone who helped.”
“Well…”
I stopped bluntly in answering Iris, who was laughing at me from behind.
As for who wouldn’t like to be thanked, I felt even more sorry for the 50 store coins that were blown away even when I was greeted by Sybila right away.
Iris must be the kind of race that takes pleasure in the fact that he saved a human no matter what the cost.
It was difficult to understand, but respect was there.
Without Iris, this world would have been even worse.
“I don’t know either.”
“Even if you say it like that, I know you’re really kind.”
“What-“
“He’s blunt on the outside, pretending to be very calculating, but in reality he’s the type of person who can’t help without helping things. You can see that.”
“Wrong.”
“You’re wrong. You start by helping without thinking, Schlusus. Then he rationalizes with excuses.
“············”.
gibberish.
I was saying this without knowing that I was drawing the big picture of the ending of this world.
You treat me like a good person who can’t stand it when I see people in need.
If I had been such a good person in the first place, I would not have participated in this civil war.
Iris wondered if he had forgotten that I was now smashing the rebels who rose up for freedom.
“Imagination is freedom.”
“I’ll say that denial is also freedom.”
“So how many times have you-“
“ah?”
“···········?”
At that time, Iris’ arms around my waist became stronger.
At the end of that flurry, Iris was just holding me still, as if frozen.
Startled, he stopped talking.
The empty boulevard of the great forest.
Standing in the middle of it, he carefully turned his head to check the condition of Iris.
“Iris.”
“iced coffee······.”
“Are you okay? I hope-“
“Yes. That’s right. I’ve seen the future.”
“············”.
I knew it.
Future Poetry was activated and he saw the future.
Similar to my ‘memory of my own’, I thought that Iris would be quite tired as it happened randomly regardless of time and place.
Perhaps the fact that Iris was always calm and quiet was also influenced by future poetry.
When Future Poetry was triggered outside, it would have been impossible not to show it.
“What was the future?”
“In front of us for a long time…we are attacked.”
“The result.”
“You are dying, Schlus.”
“I will.”
I bit my tongue.
The future wasn’t that surprising.
It was only expected that Lorraine would come out somewhat aggressive if the deal was reached in the Great Forest.
Of course, I didn’t think he’d do something so horrendous enough to get an assassin into the realm of the Great Forest to get things done.
It seemed plausible enough that I was going to die.
It’s because I’ve already exhausted 3 seconds of ‘Choice and Focus’ today.
It would have been too much to deal with dozens of enemies at once with the ability of only 2 seconds.
“You’ve come a long way.”
“That’s not it! Schlus, you’re going to die saving me!”
“Puffy….”
“What are you laughing at! Seriously! Seriously…!”
Iris was starting to burst into tears.
Surprised, I unknowingly grabbed Iris by the back of the head and pulled me into a hug.
It wasn’t because I couldn’t believe the smile.
“I mean, take what people say seriously, please…!”
“Don’t worry. Because you saw the future, I won’t die. Neither you nor I will ever die.”
“I think I said something similar in the future I just saw…”
Then, from now on, you have no choice but to do something completely different from the future you saw.
A country that did not know the future would never have done it.
“Once you get off.”
Once I jumped off the horse, I caught Iris and dropped it off.
Thanks to Iris, I got information about the enemy first.
Now was the time for counterattack.

“Hey! Look at this! This! Whoa!”
“············”.
Standing on the roof, Einz exclaimed admiration over and over again.
Erica stood next to him, folded her arms, and patted her feet.
“Wow! What is this? It’s huge?”
“Oh! Now get out of the way! I’ll see you too!”
“Hey! Wait!”
“eww······.”
Failing to push Einz away, Erica looked up at the sky with a dissatisfied expression.
As soon as I followed the flow of magic with my eyes, I could see that a form of intense magic had emerged.
It was an ultra-precise observation technique that Schlus had made.
How much magical power would it take to create an observation technique with such an amazing performance?
No, actually, the way it works was more interesting than the amount of magic power.
It is said that the flow of magic is reinterpreted and shown in the form of light…
It was even more surprising because I never imagined that it would be possible to articulate that series of processes.
“Now get out of the way!”
“Koo!”
As Erica rushed to the run and slapped her on the shoulder, Einz was pushed away helplessly.
Erika, who had barely cut Einz’s concentration, immediately connected to the ritual.
“Wow, wow….”
A panoramic view of all directions appeared immediately.
I was able to get a good view without being disturbed by walls, etc.
“Oh oh······?”
You can even zoom right where you want it.
If he wanted to, he could see beyond the bushes, where he would not normally be seen.
“Well······.”
After understanding the performance so far, Erica began to seriously examine the surroundings of the 4th Star.
The scattered enemy units were stationed on high ground here and there.
There was, of course, a movement to encircle them by encamping in the rear, but as the friendly cavalry periodically popped out to contain them, the enemy could not easily complete the siege and cut off supply.
At first glance, it may seem like an instant situation, but in reality it is not.
In order to siege, at least they had to construct siege weapons such as catapults and tunnels, but they were not prepared at all.
The enemy will surely attack you soon.
But it could be concluded that it was not imminent now.
“Ah. I was very nervous. It’s nothing more than I thought.”
“Yeah. Surprisingly, it might pass peacefully.”
Obviously, I thought that the enemy would launch an all-out offensive to take advantage of Schlus’s departure.
It seemed that it would end quietly, disrespectfully, to have made the observation procedure like this.
There was a guard on the first floor of the dormitory as the two wizards took turns taking turns examining the observations on the roof.
“Ahhhh…”
The tree that had yawned droopy once again wore sharp eyes and stared at the passersby one by one.
After being given the task of protecting the two magicians, the greatest power of the suppression force, he was guarding the dormitory here.
Even if the two wanted to go out to get some air, they never let me go.
Now without Schlus, it really wasn’t strange what happened.
“It takes a lot of effort to stand guard.”
“Oh, the Imperial Knights Commander.”
Seeing the person approaching him waving his hand from afar, he was surprised by the tree.
It was Kane, a person who has been hard to see lately.
It seemed that he had now taken some time off from administrative work and regained his leisure.
“Are you keeping this inn by yourself?”
“Yeah… that’s right.”
“I think you know how much Schlus-kun respects you. He may have judged you as the strongest knight here.”
“Ah. That’s right. I just entrusted it because it was the most reliable. When it comes to strength, the Imperial Knights Commander or Commander-in-Chief is much more…”
“Excessive humility breeds anger. The only ones ignoring you here in the South are idiots.”
After coming here, seeing Trier participating in every battle, Kane could not help but admire.
First of all, it was surprising to me to remain calm on this bloody battlefield, despite being a student.
In addition to that, the stamina that never gets tired.
Once in a sortie, even the senior knights were exhausted and stretched out.
Aside from being melted away as if they had just fought together for decades while just participating in the war, Tree also showed amazing commanding power.
Whenever he went into battle, he was naturally at the forefront and giving instructions.
There were no articles against this.
As if possessed by everyone, following her instructions, he set an attack target and moved as one body.
If Pellain was a commander made with thorough effort, Trier was a natural genius commander.
Of course, that wasn’t to say that Trier was negligent in his efforts.
“Aren’t you interested in building achievements? If you join the patrol group, you may face an enemy camp that has not been able to defend itself and give you a chance to sweep over it-“
“I’ll refuse. You can’t leave the job once you’ve been assigned it.”
“is it······.”
At that resolute answer, Kane smiled sadly.
Until now, while his friends were active and cheered, Treer was silently fighting with the knights, sweating profusely.
But you’re not interested in building up a fancy martial arts game.
I wondered if a person could be this perfect.
‘After all, this is the daughter of a hero.’
Where does Gawain’s blood go?
It was a moment when Kane was admiring himself.
aa
“What?!”
Suddenly a siren sounded.
It was an alarm system devised by Schlust and built by Pellin.
That must have been an alarm for an emergency inside the castle.
“Something has happened!”
Suddenly, the beast-eared bastards started moving.
Kane pressed his helmet on and grinded his teeth.
