82 – Abduction
As we headed towards the tent, we saw representatives from each kingdom waiting to see Robert.
I accidentally entered the tent with them.
And as soon as I entered, I heard their exclamations.
“Hmm.”
“Wow…”
People who saw Robert-hyung with a unicorn and a flying holy sword couldn’t help but admire.
Representatives here are veterans who have experienced a lot in each country and have come up through fierce competition.
They were so cool that they couldn’t even speak for a moment.
Surrounded by beings from fairy tales that catch people’s attention at once, Robert’s figure had the magic to continuously attract people.
To the extent that even those who doubted his brother recognized him as a hero after seeing him like this.
“You’re recovering, and I’m sorry to disturb you. We’ll leave the presents and go again.”
Everyone was just staring blankly at it, and the first person to come to his senses was the person who seemed to be in charge of today.
And everyone nodded their heads as if they agreed.
I liked that atmosphere.
I was thinking of kicking you out if you mess around to make friends.
They greeted each other politely, then left with gifts.
The interior of the quiet tent was quite simple.
Only white furniture was placed, so anyone could see that it was clean.
Because it is so white, it might look like a hospital room, but thanks to the exquisite arrangement of furniture and accessories, it exudes a luxurious feeling.
In addition, there were white uni and holy swords around, which made Robert-hyung shine even more.
Looking at the presents left behind by those who came here.
There were various potions and artifacts that help restore energy.
After bringing the present to Robert, he and I talked about this and that.
After we broke up, it was nice to hear about what my brother had been through, but it was embarrassing to talk about my own experience.
How can I tell the story of entering the succubus village and the old succubus queen, and of chasing the spirits in the spirit realm naked.
After sweating profusely and struggling to tell what I had been through, I came out of the tent as if running away.
And he moved busily to visit the other warrior party members.
I was worried about whether the injured area was okay, but there was something more important.
These were the candidates he thought could become his brother’s wife.
In the original work, each of them were threatened or attacked due to their strange personalities and were handed over to porters.
Fixing rotten defects through hypnosis was essential.
As this day repeated, time passed and the war began again.
During the given time, many people tried their best to stop the advance of the demons, and fortunately, the results seemed to be somewhat satisfactory.
“The first group has been wiped out!”
“Tell them that the 4th jin should also be deployed right now!”
Knights and soldiers desperately pushed back the incoming enemies.
The elemental spirits were breaking faster than reinforcing them, but just having a big obstacle in itself was a big help.
“Shoot!”
Every time a booming roar was heard, the crossbowmen perched on the watchtower fired enchanted crossbows.
The magic crossbow, which was fired non-stop while maintaining a clear view from a high altitude, steadily inflicted damage on the gathered Pandemonium Legion.
In this situation, it was the wizards who shined the brightest.
Whoops!
Due to the magic circle prepared in advance and the manastones to support the power, large-scale magic covered the ground.
“Aren’t you nervous, Kim?”
The young knight who was aiding me in the war that started again asked with a frightened face.
“Of course. It’s because you’re the first. It’s always hard to be the first. You’ll be fine soon.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Unbeknownst to me, I told the young knight what Robert had once told me.
I was a little proud.
This kind of thing happens sometimes in people’s lives.
Consolation, a word someone casually threw.
If it is such a trivial thing, there are times when a trivial word shakes the heart greatly.
Or it completely changed my life up until now.
That’s what Robert said to me when I was terrified.
I hoped that this young knight would gain courage from hearing this, just like the courage I gained.
But in fact, I wasn’t okay either.
The thought of wanting to run away ahead of such a large-scale war where you don’t know when you’ll die.
It was natural to feel that I did not want to die.
In a war such as this natural disaster, it is because the existence of the country was too easy to die.
And I don’t think this fear was insurmountable.
It was just blunting.
‘Ah…’
As he gave advice to the young knight like what his older brother said, he seemed to understand what his advice was.
‘I guess he didn’t say that because he’s really okay.’
I looked at Robert, who came out of the tent with a worried heart.
Because it was during the war, the busy place in uncomfortable silence was filled with cheers.
“Wow!”
“It’s a warrior!!”
“Hero! Please punish the demons!”
“I’ll follow you on your way!”
Every word they said, every piece of emotion was full of expectations and hopes.
I was worried about my older brother among those who seemed to cheer more and scream more as if they wanted to forget their fears.
‘My brother is the same person.’
To them, my older brother was a great warrior from the beginning, but not to me.
A few years ago, he was frustrated because of his lack of talent, and he was younger than himself.
In the war where the fortunes of Middle-earth depended, time was not given to mature enough to withstand the expectations of so many people.
‘Is it okay?’
When I first entered the tent, I remembered Robert hyung’s tired expression.
No matter how grand the sword master was, he went into the enemy camp alone and fought his demons like that, but he couldn’t help but get tired.
In the midst of cheers like madness, the older brother laughed and waved at the people and went to the battlefield.
His laid-back appearance, as if he had never thought about defeat, was the very appearance of living up to people’s expectations.
‘Can I do that too?’
‘It must be really hard, but how can I be so relaxed while receiving so many people’s expectations?’
“Waaa!!”
It is natural for people to have hope when they see the hero.
As the fragments of those emotions gathered, even I, who was right behind me, felt pressured by the expectations.
Stronger than sword masters gathered to check the corps commanders who were strong enough to destroy the wall in one shot.
The gates of the castle opened and the older brother took the vanguard, leading them.
In order to respond to the cheers that seemed to be screaming evil, my older brother pulled out the holy sword.
Struck by bright divine power, he pierced his way as if he were walking through the sky.
———————————————– ——————————————
“Kwaaah!”
Another huge claw came flying from the side.
Even if I tried to exert my strength, I was pushed backwards because the blood-soaked ground was already slippery.
My body floated and flew backwards.
Then, I confirmed that demons were screaming and running around me.
I was terrified.
“f*ck me, I’m not a sword master!”
Ever since I was little, my appearance was unusual.
Just born with a vicious appearance, I didn’t get into trouble anywhere I went and naturally became the captain.
Because he had a talent for swords, he went up to Sword Expert.
Among the mercenaries, I was the best man, but I was treated even more because of my ferocious appearance.
Having such a reputation helped me make money, so I didn’t deny it and took advantage of that perception.
Since I only received commissions that were definitely advantageous, I had no time to fully reveal my skills, and I wondered if things were going well.
Until he was conscripted.
To be honest, I didn’t want to go fight the demons.
No, why are you fighting those crazy monsters?
However, since it was a war where the fate of Middle-earth was at stake, all of his subordinates said they were going, so it was difficult to leave out, so he attended.
Up to that point it was fine.
If you are with your subordinates, you can still endure together by working together.
But these bastards drove me to limb.
My subordinate introduced me as a sword master to the conscript officer who asked about my status.
I desperately said no, but this lunatic conscript put me in the strike squad.
In a place where all the monsters among the humans were gathered, I felt like I would die if I yelled at them for not going.
Only the middle part moved together, and soon the sword masters scattered to attack the stronger ones.
Unlike them who chased the demons with the support of magic and arrows, I was running away by rolling on the ground.
“Quaaagh!”
The demon’s foot kicked my face.
In front of my eyes, it turned white and sparks flew.
I ran away screaming like a child at the pain that felt like my whole body was being crushed.
