“You are playing somewhere else.”
“Bap!”
After I sent the bag out the window, I exhaled lightly and sat cross-legged on the floor.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on the Mandokja telegraph machine, which was still circulating through my body like a divine dragon.
Even with the poison obtained from the spider’s den, history, and various realizations, the wall of Chilseong is far away, but it seemed that one very small and low stairway to Chilseong could be climbed.
Cheonsuam King.
Thinking of the person I was aiming for, I forgot everything else and drowned in the history of the Mandokja Telegraph.
I forgot the time, and when I opened my eyes, the world was dark, and a thin crescent moon was smiling in the sky.
I, who had a realization, also smiled like the moon.

“Are you ready?”
“yes!”
“I am ready.”
Arin and Cryde, who were wearing armor with Gairin’s mark, responded vigorously to my question. Arin was expressionless, but Cryde seemed a little excited.
Because rumors of the Lizardmen’s invasion spread to Gairin, they learned why they went to the palace with me.
“Pyran administrator.”
“yes!”
“Please take good care of Yeongji while I am gone.”
“yes! Trust me.”
“Peru. You help me too.”
“yes!”
After talking to Peru and Pyran, I saw Brica next to them. Brica was becoming a different person every day because she was training harder than anyone else.
“Brica. You don’t care about anything else, just focus on practicing.”
“All right. Next time, I will try to follow suit.”
“okay.”
I looked at Rodien, who smiled at Brica and looked at me with regret.
“Lordien. Please take good care of the territory while I am away.”
“Don’t worry, have a good trip. Lord. I will protect you no matter what.”
Rodien replied with a slightly smirking smile. It was playful, but it was a more reliable answer than anyone else.
“Then please.”
“yes. The preparations are over. Please come this way.”
The wizard of the Golden Tower, who had asked us in advance, bowed his head and guided us to the place where the warp magic circle had been installed.
“Viscount. I wish you the best of luck.”
“Thank you.”
“Then I will activate it.”
Flash!
As the wizard uttered a spell, a golden light began to surround us. When I closed my eyes for a moment in the bright light and opened it, I had already arrived at the warp zone of the palace I saw for the third time.
“You are here.”
“Baron Viditz.”
Baron Viditz, who had guided me before, saw me and approached me.
“I’m sorry to see you, but you have to go straight to the palace’s central gymnasium.”
“Right?”
“yes. It seems that most of the people who will participate in the outing will arrive and leave immediately. The formation warp magic has also been completed.”
“All right.”
Following the guidance of the attendant, we immediately moved to the royal palace gymnasium. In the gymnasium, knights in shining armor like snow lined up in a row.
Me, Arin, and Cryde also took our seats on the far right.
Looking around, most of the famous young knights in the palace seemed to be there. I saw many of the knights I had seen when I went to the north wall, and there was Ilia on the left.
Everyone knew why they were gathered here, so they silently lined up and looked forward.
Because the work was urgent, it seems that the knights who can be summoned first were called first, but to include me, it seems that the king has really great trust.
“Did everyone prepare well?”
“yes!”
A middle-aged man with strong eyes came up to the podium. Most of the people knew who he was, so he responded politely and loudly.
“I like the voices.”
This middle-aged man is Count Owen Rossark, who is the vice-captain of the Royal Knights and is said to be the closest man to a master in the kingdom of Krasis. He looked through the articles and spoke again.
“This is Owen Rossark, the second-in-command for this expedition.”
The commander-in-chief of this war will already be at the place where the Lizardmen are. Owen feels like a leader.
“Do you know why everyone is gathered here?”
“That’s right!”
“That’s it. I’d like to have a calm conversation, but I’ll be leaving soon. Let everyone keep their minds together.”
“All right.”
After finishing his words, Owen went downstairs and stood at the very front of the podium.
“His Majesty is coming!”
After a while, the scribe standing next to the podium screamed as if his throat would burst. It’s still a long way from noon, but seeing as they come out right away, things don’t look too good.
“Meet Your Majesty the King!”
“Meet Your Majesty the King!”
When Owen knelt first and bowed, everyone behind him chanted the same blessing.
“Get up.”
“thank you.”
“Everyone knows the situation, so I’ll keep it simple.”
After scanning the knights looking straight ahead from under the podium, the king calmly opened his mouth again.
“The Lizardmen invaded Kibon, and many knights and soldiers died while trying to stop it.”
The king’s voice and words were calm, but there was a burning anger hidden inside.
From noble mtl dot com
“Kibon was occupied by the Lizardmen and became a mess, and the people who made it their home shed tears and left their hometowns and are still walking on the way to escape. Other countries are laughing at us as being occupied by lizards.”
At the same time as the eerie momentum flowed from the king, the knights’ discipline was gradually rising.
“I don’t care how much other countries laugh at me. I can stand it all the time. But… I will never forgive those rotten lizards for attacking, terrorizing, and confusing my people.”
Every word of the King’s words felt like he would crush the Lizardman at any moment. The military discipline of the knights also reached its peak and seemed to pierce the sky.
“I wish I could go and destroy all the lizards myself, but it’s too bad I can’t. So I order the Lords. good. Go and teach the fear of Krasis to the brain-empty lizards! Show us what it’s like to touch us! Dry all their seeds!”
“Wowaaa!”
The knights shouted as they lifted their tight gauntlets into the sky. The momentum alone seemed to have already ended the war with victory.
“stop.”
The shouts stopped at the king’s words. After that, two men appeared from behind the king. Prince Il and Prince Lee wearing armor. The king did not even introduce whether he would give special treatment to the princes.
“Owen.”
“yes! your majesty!”
“Please!”
“I will do my best!”
“Let you go down too.”
“yes!”
At the king’s words, the princes went down the platform with their knights and lined up. Prince Lee gave me a small glance. It must mean to stand behind him in this war.
“Prepare to activate the warp magic circle.”
“yes!”
At the king’s words, the wizards started attaching themselves to the huge magic circle drawn on the gymnasium.
Although it was a magic circle I had often seen, the size was huge enough for hundreds of people to enter, and because there were wizards attached to each corner, more than 30 wizards were mobilized just to activate the formation.
“Everybody get on the magic circle!”
“yes!”
All the knights, including myself, took their seats in the middle of the magic circle and looked at the platform where the king was.
“The commander-in-chief is the Duke of Lopert, so consider his words as my orders!”
“yes!”
Kibon was not that far from the north wall, so Roper was immediately appointed as its commander-in-chief.
“Then activate it.”
“yes!”
At the king’s command, the magicians began to memorize spells at the same time. The spells of the wizards matched each other so well that it seemed like they had turned on the karaoke echo.
“Formation Warp!”
Wow!
As the warm light burst and went out, the view changed from the Royal Ballroom to a wide clearing in the forest.
“Meet the prince!”
The knights in the clearing bowed to the princes as soon as we arrived.
“Where is Duke Roper?”
“I will guide you.”
At the words of the Japanese prince, one of Duke Lopert’s adjutants, whom he had seen from the north wall, bowed his head and guided us to the place where Duke Lopert was.
It took a while to go forward because it was sent to the back of the battlefield for safety reasons.
“hmm…”
When we arrived at a place where we could feel the hot air of the battlefield, Duke Lopert, whom we hadn’t seen in a long time, approached us first.
“Meet the prince.”
“Duke Roper. It’s been a while, but it doesn’t seem like we’re asking each other’s regards. How is the war situation going?”
Before Prince Il even stepped forward, Prince Lee asked a question.
“Not good. The Lizardmen who occupied Kibon continue to increase to the extent that they do not know where they are hiding, and other monsters are joining in.”
“Mmm…”
Prince Lee touched his chin and made a serious expression. Prince Il stood still with an expressionless expression behind him.
“Your Excellency the Duke. This is Your Majesty’s order.”
Count Owen handed over the royal order to Duke Roper. That piece of paper should say that the right to command all the knights who came here is handed over to Duke Roper.
“Everyone came along well.
Roper, who had read all the orders, looked up at the knights.
“There will be no battle today, but this is a battlefield, so don’t relax and rest.”
“All right!”
“Kyle.”
“yes!”
“Guide them to a place to rest.”
“All right.”
Kyle ordered his soldiers to take the knights who came here to their designated tents.
Roper took the princes, Owen, and a few notables to his barracks for a meeting, which included me.
“I knew you would come.”
“Is that so?”
Roper approached me as I was walking from the back.
“I will ask you again.”
“Please. I’m not that great.
“hahahaha!”
Roper tapped me on the shoulder and went into the marquee first. I sighed and headed towards the tent one last time.
**
The meeting was nothing special. It was to give you all the information you’ve got right now, and decide how or when to hit them.
“Since Lizardmen are nocturnal, I think it would be better to hit them during the day or at dawn.”
“yes. As Prince Lee said, I planned to enter tomorrow morning when the sun rises.”
“I have a question for you.”
Prince Il, who had been quiet throughout the meeting, opened his mouth.
“yes. Please speak.”
“Are you sure the Lizardman King has appeared?”
“yes. As a result of observation from a distance, it almost matched the appearance of the Lizardman King written in the literature.”
“Could you please elaborate on the appearance of the Lizardman King?”
At that point, I asked a question just in case. Maybe something else got messed up.
“yes. Unlike normal Lizardmen, who have a height of 2m, he was over 3m tall and was carrying a large, black, shiny sword. The tattoo of the king of monsters was also confirmed on his abdomen, so it is certain that he is the Lizardman King. however…”
The adjutant paused as if he had some doubts, then opened his mouth again.
“Contrary to the literature, it had horns on its head.”
“horn?”
What else is that?
Lizardmen (2)
“Did you say it had horns?”
“yes. The Lizardman King had horns on its head.”
“Horns, it’s not some kind of dragon…”
Perhaps this was the first time he had heard that Prince Lee also had horns, and he clicked his tongue in amazement.
“you’re right. Similar to a dragon, it has two horns on its head.”
“Th-isn’t he really a dragon? I heard that dragons play a game of changing into other creatures and living their lives.”
“Stop, no way…”
The meeting room was chaotic at the words of the man who introduced himself as Viscount Lisburn.
The only ones who stayed quiet were me and the two princes, the Duke of Roper and his people.
“I don’t think so.”
I spoke first before Duke Lopert made the people quiet.
“How does Viscount Yuren know that?”
“The reason dragons play games is because they want to enjoy the life of their race purely. It changes when it turns into a Lizardman, but it does not change into a special being like the Lizardman King.”
Everyone was paying attention to my story, so I couldn’t hear breathing except my voice in the meeting room.
“It’s not just a Lizardman King, but a Lizardman King with horns, it’s absolutely not something a dragon would do. Rather, it is a more believable sound that there is a dragon among those lizardmen.”
Most people don’t know much about dragons because they haven’t appeared for a long time. Everyone looked at me curiously as I spoke as if I was sure.
“How did Viscount Yuren know about that?”
The prince spoke to me with a friendly smile.
“Since I was young, I have been interested in dragons, so I searched for and read books and materials related to dragons. You must have read all the books about them.”
I’m lying, of course, but everyone here nodded and let out a sigh of relief, as if they believed my words.
No one would have believed it in the past, but now that I have fame, no one has ignored my words.
“Ha, but the dragon…”
“It doesn’t matter if that guy is a dragon. The only thing to be given to those who attacked the country, the territory, and the people is a cold blade.
The words of Viscount Lisburn, who tried to cloud the atmosphere again, were cut off by Duke Lopert. When Duke Lopert glared at Viscount Lisburne as if to shut up, he stinged and lowered his head.
“Start over.”
“All right.”
Duke Roper’s adjutant started talking again.
“Once there are 12 Lizardman Warriors and 8 Lizardman Shamans under the Lizardman King. They are so powerful that they cannot be compared to normal Lizardmen, and each command more than 50 Lizardmen. If they show up, the people here will have to deal with them.”
“Hu, a warrior and a shaman…”
“Even now, they continue to gather, but if you kill only the King who unites them, they will become ragtag and run away.”
“So we plan to hit them tomorrow morning. When they’re gathering forces and getting caught off guard.”
Duke Lopert followed up with his adjutant and rose from his seat.
“We are divided into three formations and are located in the south, east and west of Kibon. Of course, hiding in the forest a little away from Kibon so that they don’t detect it.”
