149 – Winter (3)
The Black Wind went out on a winter hunt with Urgo’s two-pronged sword in hand.
People at the top don’t hibernate in the winter, so they have to hunt constantly in winter to make a living.
In particular, when winter comes, no matter how rich the nature is, plants stop growing in winter. In order to enjoy the blessings of nature again next year, you should refrain from eating fruits and other things during this time.
Winter was an unbearable time for people at the top who had no respect for starvation.
This was especially true for Black Wind, who got her pregnant immediately after dating and developed into a couple.
I have to feed my pregnant wife a lot of good food, but that is difficult in the winter. So, they went hunting more actively and enthusiastically than usual.
The black wind moved from branch to branch upstairs, moving stealthily and swiftly without making a sound inappropriately for its size, searching for its prey.
Around him were baby warriors and adult warriors who had gone hunting with him.
They spread out over a wide range and signaled with a cry as they searched for prey, and as soon as they found their prey, they all rushed at it.
Throw a noose made of Ba-Zoo you learned from Chester and hang it around the creature’s neck. The young warriors who caught the ba-ju clung tightly to the tree and tied the ba-ju to the tree, and the prey tied to the ba-ju that flew in from all directions suffered.
Of course, even if you tie it like this, the opponent is a creature from upstairs. The creatures upstairs, no matter how weak, had the power to easily uproot a tree or two.
Trees shook as the creatures caught in Ba-Zoo struggled, screaming as the ground shuddered along with the tree roots.
The people at the top settled down in a comfortable place while the prey was trying to escape, and then everyone started throwing the stones they had prepared.
Previously, they would have thrown stones wildly while running after their prey. There must have been a lot of misses, and since the power was not properly contained, it was difficult to inflict great damage even if it was hit.
But now it’s different.
Immediately after tying up the prey and subduing it by hitting the thrown stone properly, the black wind that jumped over the prey swung a two-pronged sword and cut the sword into the prey’s throat.
A two-pronged sword that was too heavy and too heavy for ordinary people to wield, it was a very suitable sword to wield for the upper class people.
Of course, it was a movement that seemed to strike with an ax rather than swinging a sword.
– oooh!
As the black wind roared as the blood gushed from the prey’s throat, they danced together and rejoiced at the success of the hunt.

After the wind has stopped, and the snow doesn’t seem to have accumulated that much, Chester and Monia come out to check the canals.
When I tried to use the canal in the morning, it was strange and different from usual, so I thought it would be wrong to leave it like this.
When I came out and checked the canal, I found a tree in the middle of the canal that was uprooted by the wind and was about to lean.
The aqueduct was hanging with a slight twist to the side as well as the tree leaning, so Chester tried to straighten the tree with the tools he had brought with him.
“If you put it upright and tie it with a rope to the surrounding trees, it will hold up in the wind.”
Chester first tied the rope to the tree and then went to another nearby tree. Plant your feet firmly on the tree, push the tree all the way with your feet, pull the rope and lean back.
Chester pulled the rope with such force that it clung to the tree vertically, and Monia went to the other side of the tree that was about to lean and pushed the tree away with all her strength.
“Ei-i-i-ik!”
“Huh… !”
The two of them push and pull the tree in one direction with strength. Chester, who was pulling on the rope, let go of one hand and quickly spun the rope, holding it shorter and putting more force into it.
Monia, who had simply pushed, also thought that this couldn’t go on like this, so she turned her back and pressed her back against the tree and pushed the tree with all her might. Monia’s feet are pushed in the snow and her strength is wasted.
“Keuk!”
Monia, who planted her feet on the ground more firmly, gave strength again, and the leaning tree slowly began to stand up in its original direction.
“Yaaagh!”
“Quaaah!”
After vigorously raising the tree upright, the two hurriedly filled in and compacted the surrounding land to return it to its original state. Next, tie a rope to the tree and extend it in all directions to connect other trees to reinforce the tree.
“Okay, that’s it.”
“It’s good that the tree didn’t break.”
“Yeah.”
Chester and Monia looked at all the other trees and reinforced them in advance to avoid problems later.
I also cleared the snow and fallen leaves piled up at the mouth of the canal, and returned home like that.
“Whoa, it’s cold, it’s cold.”
Returning home, the two hurriedly lit a fire with a lighter and warmed themselves up.
“Write. Working outside is no joke.”
Even if it wasn’t blowing hard, the cold wind was hard enough. His shrunken body shivered in order to generate heat and endure the cold, so even standing still was heavy labor.
“Ugh.”
No matter how tired she was, right after returning home, Monia was limp and clinging to Chester.
Chester patted Monia’s languid smile on the head, rolling over like a cat in front of a campfire, on her knees.
“Ugh. The hardest thing is not being able to wash yourself.”
“Because I don’t want to catch a cold.”
“That’s something I don’t want to hear from someone who trains naked every morning.”
“ha ha ha.”
Chester, as if he had nothing to say, covered it up with a smile. Monia looked at Chester dissatisfiedly and asked.
“Isn’t it cold?”
“Is it okay because I’m used to it? I once punished a kid who made a mistake at the butler academy by putting him outside naked in the winter.”
Immediately after hearing that, Monia jumped up and shouted with sparks of anger flying from her eyes.
“what?! It’s torture! No such thing!”
“I’ve never been punished like that.”
“uh? Then you’re not used to it.”
What came next was words far beyond Monia’s imagination.
“To get used to the cold of winter with my father, I got used to it by rubbing myself in cold water naked and wiping myself with snow.”
“Hey.”
It’s so cold even when you’re properly dressed, and you’re pouring snow and water all over your body?
“You want to die?!”
“I don’t die like that. As long as the action is taken properly.”
“Ah, but it’s nice to wipe yourself.”
“Would you like to try?”
“Mmm.”
At Chester’s words, Monia began to think deeply.
If she had been alone here, Monia would not have paid so much attention to her appearance. It’s not that Monia has a dirty personality, it’s simply because living on this island while paying attention to her appearance is tiring and difficult.
However, it is necessary to clean the body even for the prevention of disease, and more than anything, I did not want to be a dirty woman in front of the man I liked.
“Let’s do it!”
“great. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
“Today is a snowball fight!”
“Yes, yes.”
After a while, Chester and Monia went outside and had a snowball fight.
“Now, put your eyes together like this, like this!”
Fuck!
“… … If you get hit, it will hurt.”
Monia gulped as she watched the snow thrown by Chester fly away at invisible speed and crash into a tree and shatter it.
“Wouldn’t it hurt because it’s your eyes?”
“It looks sick!”
“Okay, then I’ll throw it weakly. Eight.”
After a while, in the yard, Chester’s flying eyes mixed with Monia’s flying eyes.
And after a while, the moment Monia saw the flying snowball and avoided it to the side, the snowball bent sideways as if it were attached to a string and hit Monia.
“Kya?! The snowball has bent sideways!”
When it seemed that he was the only one getting hit in the eye, the cowardly Chester started to play with Monia by adding a breaking ball.
“Hey, look at me!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
“Hey!”
When Chester made fun of her, Monia sulked the snowball together as tightly as possible and threw it at Chester.
Snowballs cut through the sky.
* * *
A lump of iron cuts through the sky.
The iron that flew high into the sky through the power of gunpowder drew a gentle arc and landed on the wall of the castle.
Quaang!
The metal hit the walls of the stone castle, and the dust accumulated on the walls of the castle fell away with the impact, creating a noisy dust cloud.
A few pieces of iron and cannonballs flew through the sky and hit the castle.
“Haven’t you done everything yet? I would have sent the Royal Knights.”
“sorry! As you said, the royal knights remaining in the capital were sortieing, but the revolutionary army moved simultaneously from all directions… … .”
“It means that the royal knights’ traffic line is twisted.”
“Yes. Major targets such as the appearance of the revolutionary army through the secret passage inside the castle and the appearance of siege weapons such as cannons appeared one after another, causing confusion to the royal knights.”
Jordi, who was listening to the report in the office, checked the words placed in various places on the map of the capital spread out in front of him.
A dull gray horse marking the Revolutionary Army.
A horse made of pure gold that represents the kingdom’s army, especially the royal knights.
Every time a report comes in, they move and let us know how the current situation in the capital is.
“… … .”
Jordy’s gaze reached the royal castle. In the royal castle, there were a small crown-shaped horse representing Jordi, a small flower-shaped horse representing a tiara, a royal knight horse, and several revolution army horses.
“Is the tiara safe?”
“Yes. An escort of a royal knight was the first to evacuate.”
“yes?”
A butler working in the office quietly looked at Jordi, who was having a conversation with his escort knight.
After the butler had finished organizing the ordered materials and left, a part of the Revolutionary Army forces, mysteriously knowing how, appeared in front of Tiara as they were evacuating from the capital.
What happened to the guy that came to find treasure?
