4 – 1. Meeting (3)
“Please reconsider.”
A woman’s voice spreads across the battlefield.
Even though he was polite, there was a clear power in it.
“You can’t send him like this.”
“I already have a firm intention. How did you stop it?”
“Required. The Empire still needs wolves.”
Hee hee, a faint laugh is heard.
“Why are you only looking for wolves? There are many others.”
“your majesty. They and wolves are completely different.”
“Wrong. All the same. They are just human beings who are hurting and struggling.”
The bright aura disappears from the emperor’s face and voice.
Only the dignity and coldness of the absolute take its place.
“… your majesty.”
Even so, the woman never backed down.
“What kind of person is he? He was the one who single-handedly tore down the demon spectacle. He is the one who sentenced death to a level 1 beast. We can go to war without him. However, it will be different. It will undoubtedly be different from wars so far. So, Your Majesty, please.”
Respectfully bowing his head on the floor of the battlefield.
The woman raises her claim to the emperor again.
“Please, call ‘Wulfhedin’ to your side again.”

“… Dalian?”
Shien, who seemed a bit perplexed.
Now he looks like he wants to know what he heard wrong.
“Are these guys insane now?! What nonsense are you talking about!”
The knights trembled at Brender’s high voice.
I kind of expected this reaction.
To think that knights would sparr with former soldiers.
He has pride issues, and can be seen as bullying commoners.
“Me, but the captain. Adele accepted too… .”
“Aren’t you guys pressuring me?”
“Absolutely not! Are we the ones to do that?!”
“It’s unfair!”
Brender sighed at the shouts of the knights.
To say that he came suddenly is sparring.
The opponent is neither a knight nor a rumored strongman.
He was very young, at most in his mid-twenties.
However, this is a man who has spent more than ten years living as a knight.
It is natural for anyone to see that the picture is strange.
Even if he wins, it’s a match, and if he loses in the first place, he has no face to see Cien.
“… Are you really going to do it?”
Shien asked for Adele’s opinion.
‘Do not do it. Say no!’
It was Brender’s intention to refuse.
Isn’t it a fight with no advantage?
He is a young man who appears to have been a regular soldier.
So, you will be familiar with the article.
He said that even if a wagon was given to a soldier, it would not be exchanged for a single knight.
The difference between the two levels is quite large.
“yes.”
However, the answer that came out of Adele’s mouth was acceptance.
“ha.”
Brenda let out a sigh.
Drying it further didn’t seem to help.
“… .”
Shien’s eyes were also a bit strange.
He tries hard to hide it, but he seems to be worried about Adele.
It seemed that he was worried that the benefactor of the family would be hurt.
“Ruth.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Brenda quietly summoned a knight who said he would engage in sparring.
“Do it in moderation. No matter what, he is the young man who saved you, and he is the one who was officially thanked and invited by Xian. Do it in moderation, in moderation.”
“Are you afraid I can’t do that much?”
“Because there is an if.”
“Captain. no worries… .”
“That’s what I’m saying. In another sense, if, if you lose.”
“… .”
With an eerie expression on his face, Brender rolls his eyes.
“I will fully arm myself and turn the parade ground 100 times.”
“… yep.”
After giving it a warning, Brenda returned the knight.
And in front of a few onlookers.
The fighting battle between Adele and the knight Ruth has begun.
“It will be fine.”
Brenda, who returned to Shien’s side, says so.
“Ruth is not a kid, she knows how to do things in moderation. There will be no ill-treatment of the benefactor of Liechtenau, so you can rest your mind.”
“… is that so.”
It’s a nonchalant expression, and a voice.
I could see that he was worried that the customer might get hurt.
‘Please do it in moderation and finish it, please.’
Looking at the two men facing each other.
Hopefully it will flow in the direction you want.
“Please give me a hand.”
After bowing, Ruth took a slight step back.
Searching for the other person without any sign of being caught off guard.
‘… Can you see the gap?’
The basic posture is held.
However, a little exploration reveals a space to dig into.
Ruth, thinking about what to do, decided to break through.
Tadat!-
Ruth, who quickly reached forward, stretched out her fist.
However, the attack was easily blocked.
As if he knew this would happen, the response was certain.
‘Was it a bait?’
This time, Adele’s attack began.
A hand reaching forward, a kick aimed at the side, and a fist digging into the gap again.
‘Do something?!’
A rough estimate comes out in a few bumps.
This man named Adele certainly has an expertise in martial arts.
‘Then a little more serious… .’
These attacks are not difficult to block.
So, while defending, I tried to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Took!-
Toutuk!-
‘… uh?’
That is until Adele’s next attack unleashes the guard.
f*ck!!-
“… uh huh?”
“What, what is it?”
The knights who were watching around uttered a puzzled voice.
And it was the same for Blender and Shien.
“Kuk, kuk!”
Ruth, who allowed a blow to the stomach, collapsed as it was.
Do you only teach swordsmanship because you are a knight?
Absolutely not, systematically learn all martial arts.
Even if Lichtenauer was a place that made its reputation as a swordsman.
Even if it was a knight belonging to that family.
Not only swordsmanship, but everything else must be learned.
And among them, there is obviously chess.
“Oh, no… .”
In addition, Ruth is a veteran who has only served as a knight for 7 years.
In just three more years, you will be qualified as a senior engineer.
It’s a bit light, but it’s a certain thing about skills.
Ruth, lying on the ground, was moaning.
‘sh*t.’
Brenda bit her lip and moved on.
Not with anyone else, but in front of Shien.
In front of the new owner who will lead Liechtenau in the future.
The family knight was broken by a young man.
“Hey, Ruth. are you okay? Yumma!”
“Okay, it’s okay. Captain. it’s okay.”
Are you okay? Do you think it will never be okay?
The word is right down the throat.
What would be okay if I lost as soon as I started?
Brenda turned her head slightly to look at Shien’s face.
I worry about what to do if I see something unpleasant.
But she was looking at Adele, not Ruth.
With very curious eyes.
‘A disgrace is such a disgrace… .’
Lichtenauer’s official article fell within a few sums.
To a young man who doesn’t even know where he came from.
In front of the future lord who will be inaugurated as the head of the family upon returning!
“All right, Captain. Ha, one more time. Let’s do it one more time.”
“Noisy. Are you saying that a knight would disobey the victory or defeat?”
“I think I was a bit careless. Defeat is admittedly acceptable. However, it is unfortunate that it ended so quickly. therefore… .”
Brenda slapped Ruth in the back of the head as if to stop talking nonsense.
What are you talking about doing again after you’ve already lost?
“Captain! Please! Isn’t it nice to compete with the powerful!”
“Did this kid really turn? You should be ashamed, why do you keep… .”
“I don’t care.”
Adele sneaks into their conversation.
This only made Brender more perplexed.
So he looked at Shien who was behind him.
What should I do, I ask my lord’s will.
“… .”
Shien, who was silent for a moment, nodded.
Apparently, she was curious about a young man named Adele.
“ha.”
Brenda sighed and eventually lifted Ruth up.
“Ruth. do it right If I lose again, I will go back and kill half of them.”
“… All right. Captain.”
After giving a grim warning, Brenda returned to her seat.
As he came to his side, Shien parted his lips.
“Did you see it a moment ago, Captain?”
“I saw. He aimed precisely at the joint and released the guard.”
“What a person he is.”
Clicking his tongue inwardly, Brenda could only nod.
It turns out that the opponent is stronger than expected.
The ability to target the fast-moving enemy’s joints at once.
This is by no means a fluke, nor a trick.
It is a level that only those with extreme practical experience can achieve.
So I put the doubts about identity aside.
I really wanted Ruth to win.
Because I absolutely wanted to avoid any further embarrassment as the leader.
‘But why are you so anxious?’
Effortlessly quelling his anxiety, Brenda focused on their match.
“… He was definitely great.”
“It’s overrated.”
“I will go right. Be nervous.”
do it right, do it right
At those words, Adele nodded slowly.
If the other party comes in with all their might.
I learned that it is polite to do that yourself as well.
I said I would do it right, so I have to do it right too.
“Wow!”
So the moment Ruth takes the lead again.
Adele decided not to wait or accept.
“Keep it off?!”
The moment she stretched out her arms, Ruth groaned again.
He quickly turned around and pulled out his painful arm.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Adele’s hands seem to move, and her joints and muscles scream.
The attack was allowed in the gap of an instant.
From nob le mt l. co m
My arm throbs as if it were about to fall off.
I gritted my teeth and tried to move my legs this time.
Adele moved much faster than that.
Kwajik!-
“Ouch!”
It bends forward and the body loses its balance.
Only then did Ruth know what had happened.
Core muscles and joints, only those parts are aimed at.
A single attack takes away the ability to resist.
This is not just a level achieved by learning.
It had to be seen as the essence of extreme practical experience.
Tadat!-
Was it because I was thinking about something else for a moment?
Ruth was taken aback by Adele’s appearance.
And that bewilderment shook his composure as a knight.
“Ruth!”
That’s when I heard Brander’s cry.
I found myself unknowingly turning the chakra.
‘This, this!’
Before you even realize what you’ve done.
Ruth’s fist, tinged with blue light, flew towards Adele.
* * *
Cheek-.
“… ha.”
With a deep sigh, the woman cupped her forehead.
I tried to break the will of the emperor.
However, in the end, he was persuaded to the contrary.
“All people are the same… .”
Remembering what the emperor had said, the woman wrote something down again.
– Adele number 000, retired –
“… .”
After examining the name for a moment, the woman turned her eyes to the side.
Retirement (Wounded), Warrior, Retirement (Wounded), Warrior, Warrior, Warrior… .
Words full of desperation were spread out.
Kwok-.
Biting my lip, I remembered what the emperor had said.
The same pain, the same hard people.
Covering the papers, the woman got up and went to the window.
To soothe the stuffiness and regret, I hold a cigarette in my mouth.
– Highest Level Confidential –
On the first page of the document, it was written:
– Emperor’s Special Forces –
– Wolfhedin –
