Episode 140. Abyssin’s Field (2)
aa
Tree was nervous at the sound of chilling his spine and swallowed his saliva.
“Something has happened!”
It was almost the same time that Kane and Trier drew their swords.
The two of them, who stood back to back, quickly looked around and understood the situation.
Citizens return home in amazement.
untidy atmosphere.
However, rogues approaching with weapons were not detected.
First of all, this place was not the target of the enemy.
At least for now.
“The alarm may be malfunctioning. Let’s go to the citadel to check the situation. Will you follow me, Schulzenberg?”
“No. I’ll keep it here, because that’s my job.”
“is it······.”
If it’s true that the enemies are invading right now, it could be a big hit by clearing them up.
However, there was no tremor in Trier’s face.
As if she had no desire for achievements, she stood firm.
How could a young boy be so mature?
Kane turned around with even a little respect.
“I will entrust all the sweeping away of the enemy to the Imperial Knights Commander.”
“Yeah, just sweep it away and let it come.”
Kane slammed to the ground and moved away in an instant.
If he only wears a helmet, no one will see him and think he is a veteran.
He radiated a more menacing spirit than any senior knight and headed towards the castle’s defense facilities.
“What? What’s going on?”
“Is it wet?”
voices from the roof.
Looking up, the tree seemed to stop breathing.
You’ll be hiding inside quietly. Why do you have to show your face outside…?
“Evacuate inside immediately and lock the door! It might be a little…!”
“Ah Okay!”
Still, they were not friends who were unaware of the urgency of the situation.
Immediately accepting that this was not a joke or a joke, Erika and Einz hurriedly disappeared.
‘It must be protected.’
It was a place that had to be kept, even if it wasn’t because of Schlus’s request.
A magical genius girl who is not very close yet, but is ticklish about insignificant things.
And an idiot who claims to be Schlust’s faithful dog…
Even the two of them, whom they normally wish not to have, could not be allowed to be captured by the enemy.
As a knight, he protects his friend.
Protect the weak as the strong.
With that thought, Tree opened his eyes and strengthened his alert posture.
If the raid was true, the route was various, such as a sewer, a tunnel, or an originally planted spy.
But either way, unless the gates were opened directly, the number would be only a small number, less than 100 at most.
He had to inflict maximum lethal damage with the limited number of combatants, but there were three things that came to mind as the target of the attack.
The first is definitely the gate.
If we can occupy and open the gates, we will be able to invade a large number of allies.
However, considering that already, the knights were standing and guarding the side of the gate.
The following are defense facilities such as fortresses.
The commander’s quarters were located inside the fortress, and in case of emergency, they could sit and survive.
However, the chance of choosing the fortress would be extremely low, because just because they had a sit-down, they were holding on to a few knights and then starved to death.
The last place left was the wizard’s quarters.
Of course, that was when the enemies knew this place.
The fact that this was a wizard’s quarters was kept secret.
The number of guards was deliberately small so that it was not noticeable.
However, if they had been monitoring for a long time, the enemy would have noticed that two wizards were staying here.
So I had to be nervous.
The probability that this place would be the target of the enemy’s attack was high enough.
Quang!
“······································································!
Then an explosion sounded from afar.
It’s magic that makes that kind of roar.
It seemed that the enemy had infiltrated a fairly advanced manpower.
It was a little creepy, but at the same time reassuring.
If there’s a riot in other places, it’s because this place is relatively safe.
There was no reason at all to reduce the chances of success by tearing up troops on the subject of hitting a minority.
“······································································!
sabak.
At the amplified sound of footsteps, Trier flinched and turned her head in surprise.
Someone was approaching.
I wasn’t alone.
at least three people.
In the tree where he was waiting with his sword held high-
“Ah! Tree-nim!”
“ha······.”
After checking the faces revealed at the front door, he sighed in relief.
They were familiar faces.
4th Star Guards.
They surrendered to the suppression forces and are now all fighting the rebels.
“you worked hard.”
“Yes. That one too. Are you on patrol?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Do you know what the situation is?”
“I haven’t quite figured out the situation yet, but it seems that the enemy was trying to make a hole in the gate with explosion magic.”
“ah······.”
If so, then the enemy must be running a general offensive towards the gates.
It was a tree that was even more reassuring.
At the moment when the strength in his arms was slightly relaxed, Tree opened her eyes again and raised her sword.
“Stop! You can’t get it inside!”
“Ah! I think there’s a limit to standing alone as a guard. So I thought I’d help a little.”
“No need. No one is allowed here in an emergency.”
“I’ll be guarding the front door. That side won’t be any more reassuring-“
“If you approach more than that, I will consider it an enemy and cut it.”
“············”.
At Trier’s resolute warning, the guards’ faces turned white.
She, who values principles and principles, was speaking with sincerity.
“Ah… I’m sorry. Then I’ll even patrol the neighborhood.”
“Yeah. I’m sorry for being a bit harsh.”
“No. It just makes you sensitive. hahahaha·······.”
The guards turned around as if bewildered.
Soon other guards followed him.
At that moment, Trier’s head was tilted.
The movement of one of the guards’ arms was suspicious.
The moment I was about to call you and make you turn around-
“Aww!”
“Ahh…!”
He was turning around and throwing an axe.
Trie, startled by the ax that flew around at a sharp speed, tried to protect his face with a sword.
Tongue…!
However, the ax stopped on the way, and a clinging blue flash of light spread through the air.
As the ax bounced back and fell, the guards kicked their tongues.
it was a barrier
The barrier that Schlus Heinkel had created by pouring out a huge amount of magical power had sensed the attack and was deployed.
“crazy······.”
Tree’s mouth opened.
Footsteps were heard constantly.
At the same time, the number of enemies continued to increase.
Ten… Twenty… no thirty….
The exact number was unknown.
But what was certain was that the enemy had chosen this place as the target of attack, and the fact that the enemy’s troops were gathered here.
“Iris! Einz! Can you hear me?”
“············”.
I called, but there was no answer from inside.
In the meantime, the enemy was approaching the barrier and tapping into the air.
However, the strong barrier did not leave a scratch no matter how hard the ax was struck.
Knowing that, the enemy did not lose his strength ignorantly.
But, obviously, the enemies, who should have been stuck here and in a difficult situation, just giggled.
“I’ll tell you on the premise that I can hear you! Start communication right now! The enemy’s attack target is here, the wizard’s quarters!”
“············”.
Was it delivered well?

Just as Trier was panicking, the window was wide open.
“Wrong! No!”
“What?”
“There are too many disturbing magic waves! We can’t communicate properly now!”
“ah······.”
There was a corner where the enemy believed.
They weren’t just guys who knew how to use a knife or an ax a little.
They understood magic well, and they knew how to destroy or use it against them.
Those who can’t handle magic well, but know magic as well as or better than a wizard.
‘Assassins…’
They specialized in assassinating wizards.
The tree that remembered it seemed to have goosebumps.
Assassins were nurtured in all lands where wizard power existed.
The South is no exception.
They were definitely the remnants of that.
“Hide inside! Never come out!”
“Support by magic-“
“Never come out! Looks like you’re joking right now?!”
“Ah Okay······.”
After yelling, Erika and Einz disappeared without saying anything further.
I’m glad you figured it out.
Because wizards and assassins were really superficial.
Otherwise, the magic tricks I used to help me could be stolen by the enemy.
In order to fight them, only internal circuits without the risk of destruction had to be used.
“Keuk. How long do you think it will take to destroy this?”
“Heh. Even if there were a hundred years, it would be too much for you guys.”
“It’s definitely a barrier of great power. However, it’s a barrier that focuses more on physical damage than magical destruction. If you try to break it, it’s useless to beat it for a hundred days, but if you try to break it, it’s not too difficult.”
“············”.
The guy put his palms on the barrier with a smile on his face.
no way.
Even so, can one of you guys break Schlus’s barrier?
It was the moment I was about to laugh.
The guards all at once raised their arms and placed their palms on the barrier.
“no way······!”
It wasn’t just him who could break magic, but all those beasts?
Tree’s mouth fell open.
If they all stick together and perform calculations, then it might not be too much to break the barrier technique.
“Uhhhh…”
Tree took a calm breath and organized the situation.
Communication is impossible.
The enemy is dozens of professional assassins of wizards.
I am the only defender.
The barrier is on the verge of breaking.
It was really the worst.
“Ugh…
Then, suddenly, laughter came out.
Even I was surprised by the tree.
I was embarrassed because I didn’t know why I was smiling in this situation.
But soon the conclusion was reached.
Now Tree was enjoying this situation.
He was feeling bliss for an unknown cause in an extreme situation where he himself and his friend might die.
‘Now let’s be honest.’
I pretended to be okay, but watching my friends set the ball and cheered, I was secretly feeling inferior.
And now that I am finally able to set the ball, I must be happy that the long-awaited crisis has erupted.
Upon acknowledging that, there was no tension left in Trier.
“Come on.”
Disillusioned with himself, Trier smiled at them.
.

.
Rumor has it that Schlus Heinkel has negotiated a deal with the Great Forest.
Half of the Confederate Army’s troops were blown away.
If so, I was no longer in a position to choose the means and methods.
A messenger on behalf of the Emperor of the Empire, Nabal and Schlus had to be killed immediately.
Even using a cowardly tactic to make a raid on the way back to the castle.
And it would be better to capture a saint and use it as a hostage.
As the situation was a dead end, this too had no choice but to go out to the dead end to survive.
“············”.
“············”.
dark forest.
Even though he felt his whole body being crushed by the light magic energy, the beasts did not move.
Their gaze was directed towards the dimly drenched light.
Hiding behind a tree, they kept waiting and waiting.
However, the horses didn’t run down the road until it was already night and pitch-black darkness fell on the road.
It was uncomfortably quiet.
“············”.
A prisoner quietly patted the commander on the back and spoke in sign language.
It would be dark to the human eye, but with the eyes of a beast, at such a close distance, the degree of movement of the hand could be discerned.
– Is the operation a failure?
-yet. Wait a little longer.
It was clear that Schlus and the Saint would not pass the boulevard until such a dark night, that they had decided to stay overnight in the Great Forest.
Nevertheless, because it was something they did not know, the prisoners kept their tension and waited.
Considering Schlus’s fighting power, he mobilized hundreds of elite soldiers and knights.
Even if a few people died, it was a firm will to kill only one Schlusus with certainty.
But the problem was that the schlus didn’t appear.
The soldiers slowly got tired.
The sun had set a long time ago, and not even the sound of hooves could be heard, let alone a schlust.
Today is not a day.
It was the moment when everyone was about to give up.
crumble…
“··········································································?!”
There was the sound of rustling leaves from behind.
Surprised, the prisoners turned their backs and grabbed their swords.
But all he sees is a dark and dense forest.
Was there an ally who was ambush over there?
The prisoners tilted their heads in long gamings.
– Who was it?
-I don’t know.
The commander just shook his head not knowing.
Everyone was nervous and lowered their bodies, but there was no more sound.
It was the sound of leaves falling.
Everyone thought so.
“uh?”
“Don’t make a sound, you idiot.”
“No, who is that…?”
Then one of the beast soldiers noticed a faint silhouette.
It was hard to see, but it was definitely in the shape of a human.
As soon as he leaned his head to take a closer look, the silhouette began to move.
“Who am I?”
“······································································!
A low-pitched voice rang out.
At the same time, a blue light burst through the darkness.
A long flash of light suddenly lit up all around, revealing the appearance of a man.
It was a face they had never seen before, but as soon as they saw those empty, scornful eyes, everyone recognized it.
“It’s over. You bastards.”
The blue light in Schlus’s hand instantly transformed into a sword, exuding a powerful force.
His left hand went to the scabbard and gripped the handle of the longsword.
The second sword that is drawn out reflecting the sad light.
All the prisoners froze in front of him.
