27 – 7. Promise (4)
From nob le mt l. co m
Multiple!- Multiple!-
A group of knights run on their horses in unison.
It is clear that they are knights with a clean energy.
Also, for some reason, I felt a little tired.
It is unavoidable, it is natural.
They were the ones who escorted my lord just a moment ago.
They were knights who had been to the far north to the Hwangseong.
Originally, they had to return to the castle on Shien’s orders.
Escort work and a long journey overlapped, so I needed a break.
However, when she heard that Shien was going to the Demon Realm.
The knights all begged to take their orders.
‘Lord. We will be with you.’
‘It’s just blood, it’s nothing.’
‘Please, we beg you to take us to the fight to protect this place.’
Stupid people, why?
As the horse ran, Shien muttered that.
Lichtenau has no one to replace him.
There were plenty of articles to replace them.
Even if it takes some time to prepare.
No one curses at the knights for entrusting them to others.
In a life-or-death fight, a slight gap is fatal.
The fatigue that creates that gap must never exist before a fight.
The knights who escorted him were suffering from that fatigue.
Even though there wasn’t a single battle.
Fatigue doesn’t always come from fighting.
I’ve been out and about for over a month.
Fatigue may have developed in your body that you do not even know about.
‘I’ll go. Lord.’
But they said they would do it together.
Since Shien hasn’t returned to the castle, their mission isn’t over.
From nob le mt l. co m
My lord is Lichtenauer, and Lichtenauer is lord.
Whatever they do, they are doing their duty.
‘… Promise everything.’
In the end, Shien took them all.
Again, he moved to defend Lichtenau.
‘Everybody said they would return safely.’
‘Is it possible!’
Leading the knights who answered loudly.
With the soldiers who came out with Rascal.
Shien quickly moved to the place where the Demonic Realm had appeared.
“… .”
Behind Shien, Adele stood close by.

A group of soldiers form groups of three or four and face each other.
And with the groups slightly apart from each other.
It becomes a trap where the magic beast is stabbed wherever it goes.
“Stay where you are!”
“If you scatter, you die! Trust the nearby Joe and hold on!”
The Demonic Beast that came out of the 4th grade demonic world is ‘Kellot’.
Although it has a physique similar to that of a large wild dog, it is not poisonous.
Their weapon is one huge ‘herd’.
In the early days of the Great War, many knights fell victim to these guys.
Obviously, individual skills can catch kelots.
In front of the teeth of those who attack thoroughly in groups.
In the end, even the knights using chakra couldn’t stand it.
The way to preserve your life from them and further defeat them is surprisingly simple.
Just like them, form a group to protect and attack each other.
It is to create a stronger, more massive group.
“They are coming!”
“prepare! Get ready!”
Dududu!!-
Dozens of demonic beasts came in.
It’s creepy to think that dozens of dogs are simply attacking.
If you think that the monster that came up from hell, the monster itself, is coming.
How many of them will be still in their seats?
If they were inexperienced soldiers, they would not trust their comrades.
Perhaps he threw down his shield and ran away.
They will be divided and scattered from each other, and then hunted.
But there are no such children standing here.
They are the soldiers of Lichtenau, who are known for their swordsmanship.
It was never a place where only knights were strong.
“Now! Stab!”
As they rushed in between each group, spears flew from all sides.
At first glance, it looks like an island trapped between the strong flowing waterways.
It will not collapse as long as it stands firm and supports each group.
Rather, if cracks do not occur, the disadvantage is the kelot.
Kkong Kkong!- Kkong Kkong!!-
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe I just decided that I couldn’t do it just by messing around.
The one who seems to be the leader of the group howls.
Then, like a single monster, the Kellot group starts another action.
“They’re trying to get to the village!”
“How far did you say the evacuation went?!”
“I wouldn’t have gone far. They still have to focus on this!”
damn it The commander spat out a curse.
So far, the villagers have already left.
These witches didn’t notice.
So, threaten to go to the village and break camp quickly.
They are putting pressure on themselves.
If you can’t catch them here at all.
If the villagers who were running away were swept away.
Even if you win, you won’t win.
Even if they get hurt or die.
Those who are not even armed must be protected.
That is the will of Lichtenauer and the reason for its existence.
“Team 1, and Twice 3! Drop your shield!”
“yes?!”
“I don’t mean to come down. They lure us, we lure them! It has to give the feeling that we are confused, that the chain of command is broken and we are trying to act as individuals!”
“Ah, I see!”
Lowering the shield when demon beasts are close by.
It must have been an absurd order, but the soldiers carried it out without saying anything.
It was proof that their trust in each other was strong.
Kkong Kkong!!-
As if they were aiming for this, the kelots immediately turn.
The soldiers gritted their teeth as they saw the men rushing in in an instant.
I lured them in, but they’re too fast to bring Jin back.
“1 trillion, 3 trillion! We’re running out of time, so we’ll just head over to the nearby group!”
Cracks went to the cogwheels that were spinning seamlessly.
It won’t be obvious right away, but as time passes, you won’t know again.
Even a sturdy shield could be broken with one incontinence.
“Leader! excuse me!”
Fortunately, before such a disaster happened.
A soldier shouts with all his might in a bright voice.
“It’s reinforcements! The knights have arrived!”
From nob le mt l. co m
Multiple beams of light flashed at the location pointed by the soldier.
And the screams of the sad demons began to be heard.
wake up! Yea!-
A chakra that only knights can wield.
The blue light flowing from the disk spreads in all directions.
As if it were flying as one sharp spear blade.
The knights who showed up split the Kellot group in an instant.
With just one charge, the road opened on both sides.
“Go, the head of the household?!”
I want to express my gratitude to the knights who saved me at the right time.
The commander of the soldiers hurriedly bowed in admiration.
I remember seeing it at the inauguration ceremony of the new head of state a while ago.
Shiny silver hair and two red eyes.
The kind of woman who is guilty even to dare to look at.
It was clear that Lichtenauer had a new homeowner.
‘I heard you were away? When did you come back?!’
I didn’t know that the family head would come so directly.
From the beginning, it was right for family heads to act directly from generation to generation.
I thought you were refraining from a tragic incident that happened a while ago.
I thought I would stay in the rear, at least until the successor came out.
“Are you the commander?”
“to? Ah yes! That’s right!”
“It held up splendidly. I commend you for your hard work.”
“Hey, it’s an honor!”
From nob le mt l. co m
Meanwhile, when a powerful enemy suddenly appears, the kelots retreat all at once.
Rather than a prey that only takes damage by touching it.
It meant aiming for easy things.
And the target, of course, was the people who would be running away.
“My lord! They go to the civilians!”
“Do not worry. because nothing will happen We just need to focus on that!”
Rascals and other troops were already attached to the civilians.
With these soldiers, Shien and the knights just need to defeat the Demonic Beasts.
kong! Wow!-
Before long, the kelots who had been heading towards the civilians returned.
There was an opponent who was more difficult than this side.
If you aim for civilians for no reason and the knights here catch you.
The hunted side recognized that they could be themselves.
Wow!-
Kkong Kkong Kkong!-
Now that this has happened, let’s hunt even the humans here.
The crowd is starving, so if we go back like this, they’ll eat each other.
The kelots who came to that conclusion came from all sides.
“Everyone, stay alert! They are coming!”
Demonic beasts flocking in from all sides, completely surrounded.
But no one in this room looks intimidated.
Rather, the knights laughed cheerfully and used chakra.
“With the lord, what is there to be afraid of!”
“Glory to Lichtenau!”
As the knights step forward and raise their morale, the soldiers also follow suit.
It’s normal to have physical strain after going through several fierce battles.
Rather, it looks much better than before.
“Don’t forget everyone’s promise! I told you not to get seriously hurt!”
Reminding me once again of the promise I made with my people.
Shien grabbed his sword and stabbed it towards the demons that were attacking them.
* * *
In the woods, a little away from the place where Shien is fighting in the middle of the battle.
There, there was something glaring at her with ferocious eyes flashing.
Kkong kong kong kong!-
Wow!-
Their true identity was the Kelots whom the people of Lichtenau were dealing with.
According to the command of the captain, he was secretly hiding a group.
Kkong!- Kkung!-
Kkong Kkong Kkong!-
When my group is completely shaking people’s eyes.
All you have to do is attack the rear and kill the person who appears to be the leader.
In any group, if the leader is lost, the center will be lost.
The magic beasts exchanged opinions and hurriedly prepared for an attack.
If the fierce battle breaks out again soon, the gap will surely be revealed.
Sabak-.
At that time, they heard the sound of stepping on the grass.
I immediately turned around to confirm that there was a human standing there.
“… .”
Kkong-kkong!- Kkong-kkong!-
They said their location was discovered, and they had to deal with it quickly.
The kelots bark and surround the human.
Unlike themselves who form a group.
That human came here alone, without any companions.
No matter how strong the prey is, they are the ones who eventually eat them in packs.
Was it because of the confidence that comes from numbers or certainty?
The kelots immediately turn and charge at the humans.
‘There’s always a mistake that packers make, Adele.’
A colleague who loved explaining, once said something like that.
‘If you have a lot of numbers, you just become more confident. Because no matter how tough the enemy can be defeated. That’s why they bite and tear and do all kinds of sh*t, as if they’re a great being.’
Sreureung-.
‘However, whether a hundred or a thousand gather. The dog is just a dog. Dogs can’t become wolves no matter how much they pack.’
Sitting on top of the corpses of demon beasts piled up like a mountain.
He was the one who finished the explanation with a chuckle and a laugh.
Grab the comrades who went first even in the sky.
Are you giving an explanation that has no nutritional value, you think?
Adele jumped into the middle of the group of witch beasts.
… Wake up!!-
wake up! Yea!!-
