A straight-line city appeared as we crossed the collapsed gate.

Orcs with spears and shields blocked the front of the kingdom army.
“Shield wall!!”
The orcs formed a shield wall by closely connecting huge shields. He put the spear blade in the empty space between the shields and was ready to stab him at any time.
It looks like a hedgehog.
However, it is not as cute as a hedgehog.
If you run into that, you may be able to break through that shield wall, but there will be many casualties.
If that repeats a few times, the Knights Templar will be reduced by a handful.
So Duke Fabir asked Cloud.
“Soldier, what are you going to do?”
Are you going to keep pushing, or are you going to stop rushing right now?
Instead of answering, Cloud unleashed his saddle and ran towards the shield wall.
“Hero!”
Cloud didn’t care about Duke Fabir’s bewildered voice. He concentrated on demonstrating swordsmanship. When the blue sword started to glow red, he was close to the shield wall.
“Aim for the hero!”
He aimed at Cloud from all directions and stabbed the spear. Since it is floating in the air, it cannot be avoided by dynamic movement.
Cloud swung his body sideways and swung his sword. Only the spear blades that would reach the vital points such as the head, neck, and chest were cut. He didn’t mind the stabbing in the shoulder and thigh.
Holding the sword in both hands, he curled his body back into a C shape. He bounced his bent body and lowered his sword vertically.
Everything that touched the sword split.
Shields and Orcs are all without exception.
his own path was pierced.
Now is the time to pave the way for others.
Cloud grabbed the sword in reverse and put it on the floor.
Flames began to rise from the sword.
“Humans are trying to do stupid things! Stop it!!”
The orcs right next to Cloud tried to strike him with their shields, but it was too late.
Eredna-ryu Magic Swordsmanship.
[Revelation of Fire]
A pillar of fire rose through the ground beneath the orcs’ feet.
“Aww!”
“Who, someone turn off the lights!!!”

Orcs who were orthodox hit by the pillar of fire died painfully. There were also a few orcs who quickly escaped, but they were soon knocked down by the swords of the knights who arrived.
Cloud pulled out the spear that stabbed his shoulder and thigh, and then jumped up and landed on his horse.
To heal the wound, he drank the potion with the other hand while holding the reins with one hand.
Then, Favir looked at him with tired eyes.
‘Every time I see it, I feel it, but a hero doesn’t look like a human at all.’
A proper orc warrior is equivalent to two knights in the kingdom. A thick shield wall made by such warriors. To break through, he had to be prepared for the sacrifice of dozens of knights, but Cloud solved it in an instant.

One can’t beat two and two can’t beat four.
For Fabir, who faithfully followed the basics of military strategy, this war was a series of shocks.
“What are you staring at?”
“Ah… no.”
“Concentrate. It’s just the beginning.”
Cloud said, throwing the empty potion bottle at random.
This is the start…
That was correct.
They have just entered the city and there are many obstacles to overcome.
In order to protect your family, you have to keep your mind straight.
“Okay, warrior!”
Duke Fabir clenched his teeth and made up his mind.
Cloud grinned and waved the reins to hasten the horse. Returning to the lead again, he shook the formation of the Orcs standing in the way. The knights that followed dealt with the scattered orcs.
But knights are not the cloud.
There were times when he was left behind because he could not deal with it with a single attack, and there were many cases where he was reversed by the orcs.
Nevertheless, the knights did not stop.
Listening to the screams of my colleagues and grinding my teeth, even if the strength in the hand holding the sword gradually loosened, even if the fear that I might be hit next came over, I somehow managed to move forward.
He avenged himself by killing the orcs who had harmed his comrades, stabbing them if he couldn’t cut them, overcoming fears with a loud shout, and marched forward.
After doing the best they could and sacrificing everything they could, they were able to face each other.
The scene of the massacre that took place inside the cathedral.
“You crazy…”
The knight who came running with a sense of duty was astonished.
“Damn…”
The knight, who had no choice but to follow the master, sighed in vain.
The knights who risked their death to save their family…
“Ah… ah… ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!”
screamed
Screaming, he found his family in a pile of corpses.
Still, I was looking forward to it.
If the body of his family hadn’t been here, I hope he was lucky enough to run away and hide.
And when those expectations were shattered, the screams and wails they let out did not feel like they belonged to anyone.
“honey..! Ned..!”
Duke of Favir.
He burned his mourning every night thinking of the family who would be held captive.
The bodies of his wife and son he held were only the upper body.
“…”
Looking at the horrific sight, Mars felt an indescribable feeling.
I’ve been through a lot of things since I left, but this was the first time I’ve ever done something like this.
I was angry, but also sad and complicated.
How to deal with these feelings?
Mars instinctively turned to Cloud. Because he made it easy for him to tell me what he didn’t know, as if he was asking me something like this.
But this time it was different from usual.
“…brother”
Feeling the change in Cloud’s mood, Mars whispered a call, but he didn’t respond.
His eyes were set on the knights mourning the loss of their family.
– Whoa! Mom!!
“Jackson… my son…”
– I’m sorry I’m the only one alive…
“No… this is not..!!!!!
The cries and screams of people resonating in their heads.
In his eyes, the knights appeared from time to time turned into men in worn clothes.
past and present intersect
As his senses gradually move away from reality,
– Don’t be mean. Even if you knew, you would have turned away. why is that you Because you are the one who thinks that some sacrifice is inevitable for a purpose.
A man’s words caught Cloud.
– So, it’s all your fault.
Degurre.
It was a human head that rolled towards the cloud.
The head of a faithful paladin who performed miracles.
A woman’s head that was pure but stupid and had a cute side.
The head of the woman he once loved.
The head, who had lost her body, opened her closed eyes and said.
– It’s all your fault.
Cloud sat down on one knee and raised his head. When I cleaned up my messy hair soaked in blood, what I saw was the face of a stranger I didn’t even know.
“It’s not your fault.”
Cloud turned his head.
Neria was looking at him.
“You did your best. i know So don’t be too hard on yourself.”
Neria, who said that, was not the usual girl who looked into his eyes and was dazed. She was a slender knight who lent her shoulders and back to Cloud.
Seeing her like that, Cloud smiled.
It’s funny to say something like that on a subject I don’t know anything about.
no.
I think it’s stupid to be so kind to him who only wears Cloud’s skin.
no.
not all
The only reason he smiled was because she had seen his image overlapped.
When he wakes up, he has already lost all of the most precious things.
‘Neria, how will you react when it turns out that I’m a fake?’
I’m very curious about it, but I don’t want to know.
“cloud…”
Neria, who had already assumed that he must have been very heartbroken, put on a bitter expression. It’s a face that wants to comfort you, but doesn’t know what to say.
Cloud smiled slightly and carefully lowered the head he was holding onto the floor.
“Brother, Neria-san, I don’t think now is the time for that…”
Mars’s tense voice.
There was no need to ask what it meant.
You could easily spot the orcs besieging you by turning your head a little.
The knights who had been crying over the loss of their families got up one by one.
The knights’ eyes were filled with indescribable anger and hatred. They no longer fear death.
Because I lost everything that was as precious as my life.

Other knights ripped them off as they tried to run towards the Orcs.
“Put this down. Let go!”
So was the Duke of Fabir. As he was running towards the orc with bloodshot eyes, Duke Oller caught him.
“Calm down. Don’t act emotionally!”
“My wife and son are dead. Even the body is not intact. But they’re telling me to get the opposite s*x! Don’t be bullshit, get out of the way!”
“Duke Fabir, you are a lord. If you lose your reason, how do you control the knights below you? Even if you fight together as one, if you fight recklessly, you will be annihilated!!”
There were more orc warriors besieging around than the number of knights. Thanks to that, some knights are in a state of atrophy. Even in an unfavorable situation, the morale was broken.
If you fight head-on, you will not be able to avoid annihilation.
It was time for Duke Oler to stop Duke Fabir and think of a solution.
An Orc with a stature that stood out among the Orcs came forward. He appeared, dragging his gigantic saw bladed sword to the floor, and shouted at the Knights.
“You mean people!! Were you so afraid of the duel with Lugar, the great warrior, or was it not so wise to keep your promise in defeat?”
He is the chieftain of the Black Scorpion clan, Zarag.
A Daejeon warrior who admired Lugar’s strength and aspirations.
“You disgusting humans who dared to assassinate the orc warchief. Do you want to sustain that insect-like life, then come out. If you fight me, Zarag and win, I will let you go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the orcs began to pound the floor with their weapons.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
A heavy sound resounded all around.
Cloud headed towards the place that exudes an overbearing atmosphere.
Zarag recognized him and frowned.
“You are… the human who originally decided to duel with Lugar. I would like to ask you one thing, if you were a brother-in-law with Lugar. Why did you betray your brother-in-law?”
“…”
“You seem to know that you are going to be silent, but you are ashamed.”
Zarag nodded.
Soon, his eyes widened and he swept the ground with his saw bladed sword. Dust obscured Cloud’s view. Zarag’s saw-blade sword began to glow black. It came down diagonally as if it would cut through the cloud.
Cloud drew his sword.
Drake-style swordsmanship.
[Cleaning Mount Tai]
A thick saw bladed sword split in half.
The blade that flew away was stuck on the floor.
“What…”
Cloud’s sword moved before Zarag was even aware of the situation.
Drake’s quick sword technique.
[Leaf cutting]
a fleeting moment.
Countless slashes passed through Zarag.
Cloud put the sword into its sheath.
𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞-
Zarag was cut into pieces and fell to the floor. The fragments splattered each other and wet the floor with a fountain of blood.
“…”
“…”

Orcs and humans.
Neither side could speak recklessly.
Cloud opened his mouth in the strange silence.
“They unilaterally charged us and notified us of war. In addition, civilians and prisoners of war were brutally slaughtered. I regard this as an outright hostile act beyond extenuating circumstances, and I, Cloud, command as a hero.”
A calm yet eerie voice dominated the area.
Cloud drew his sword once more.
“All troops, annihilate the enemy.”
