Episode 142
“It would be no exaggeration to say that it was the second wave.”
Milland clenched her fists as she watched the yellow-blue waves rushing toward Habun Castle.
“I’m issuing a wave-class battle stance! Gather all the waiting prosecutors and soldiers!”
His majestic voice shook the entire wall.
“Open the barracks and prepare for battle!”
At Milland’s quick and accurate instructions, the scouts, who were staring blankly at the monsters, ran down the wall of Burinake.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The highest alert bell, like the wave, rang out throughout the Habun Castle.
“What, what!”
“What is this again!”
“shit! How long do I have to do trick soldering this year?”
“Shut up and move fast! Coming soon!”
“The barracks are open, so get your weapons first!”
Upon hearing the alarm, the prosecutors and soldiers jumped out of the dormitory and the gym and started moving to their respective positions.
“Radin.”
Milland motioned to Ladin, who was biting her lip.
“Were you the last to go out on reconnaissance?”
“Yes. I went there three days ago.”
“Were there any signs of this happening?”
“As reported, we did not notice any significant changes.
“Then there is a possibility that Eden used the trick again. It’s the ability of these three guys to control monsters.”
Milland looked at Raon as if asking for consent.
“It’s just my opinion, but not this time.”
Raon looked down under the wall and shook his head.
“not?”
“Yes. Even if the Edenites are famous for their stupidity, they don’t repeat a method that has failed once. and… .”
He raised his finger and pointed to the running monsters.
“The monsters’ facial expressions and momentum are different from usual. Doesn’t it seem like he’s running away from something other than slaughter or madness?”
“I felt it too. So I thought it was Eden.”
Milland sighed, stroking his scabbard.
“Anyway, this is going to be hard to get past.”
“I think so.”
– Whoa.
When Raon nodded, Lars stood up from the ice flower bracelet.
– You’re finally here.
This guy isn’t the monster in front of you, it’s far away. I stared at the faintly visible Mount Sterlin.
‘What is coming?’
– Did the main king tell you? there is a sleeper The damn bastard has finally woken up.

Naturalization burns in Lars’ blue eyes. I was happy, I was angry, and I was looking forward to it.
‘Did I tell you to run away a month ago?’
-Yes. The guy I was talking about then has just woken up. You must have woken up when the doppelganger exploded.
‘What kind of dragon is it?’
Raon followed Lars’ gaze and looked to where Sterlin Mountain was. Of course I didn’t feel anything. Just a little bit of anxiety.
-Dragon? You are making a very big mistake.
Lars snorted and waved a small hand.
‘Then what is it? You don’t have to know what it is to run away or not.’
-It’s already late. There was a chance when it was a nightmare, but he has already caught you.
‘What?’
At those words, a shiver ran through his body.
– He won’t stop until he clears this castle and kills you all. I don’t know if it’s a reasonable sacrifice.
‘Sacrifice? what a sacrifice! Who the hell is coming!’
Raon grabbed Lars’ head and lifted it up. Unlike usual, the boy shed a relaxed smile.
– See it with your own eyes. I have no loyalty to tell the main king about it.
‘you… .’
– I told you. This bet will eventually end in a victory for the Bon King. If this happens, it’s not just about winning, it’s about taking your body.
Lars was sure that the one coming down from above would push the castle away.
“Whew… .”
Raon exhaled a deep, subdued breath. Looking at Lars’ reaction, there were a few predictable beings, but I didn’t dare say it because I didn’t want to tell them.
“Sort!”
“Spearmen and infantry, line up in front of the wall! Let the archers who do not have a seat stand under the wall!”
The soldiers and knights who quickly finished their preparations stood in their respective positions, and looked at the monsters that were flocking to them with tense expressions.
“After all, f*ck… .”
“I have been unlucky this year… .”
“It’s very beggar. It’s like a beggar!”
The soldiers trembled as they watched the monsters rushing in like a shackle from the desert.
“Don’t worry too much. We have Commander-sama and Raon-sama!”
“Actually, the casualties have decreased significantly since Raon-sama came.”
“From Ice Troll Road Slayer to Doppelganger Slayer. You are writing history.”
“He is a man whom I respect not only by force, but also mentally.”
The swordsman and the soldiers looked at them and smiled faintly. A face full of trust. It was a feeling that was difficult to fully accept now.
“Commander.”
Raon felt the bitter taste on the tip of his tongue and approached Milland. The way he looked at him was full of faith.
“Maybe. What will you do if an enemy that is difficult to defeat appears?”
He created a shimmer and covered himself and Milland so that no one else could hear them.
“That’s not your question.”
Milland’s expression did not change at all, as if wearing a mask. Maintaining a dignified momentum, he swung his sword.
“Still fighting. Behind this castle are numerous civilian villages. Even if it is only to earn time, I will persevere and reduce the sacrifice. That’s the reason for Habun Castle’s existence.”
“… okay.”
Raon bit his lip. I don’t know if even a dragon really flies. I didn’t know the identity of the person coming, so I couldn’t convince them.
‘I have no choice but to meet you in the end.’

No matter who the opponent was, Raon took a breath and was prepared for the bell.
– Hmm.
Lars nodded with a relaxed expression on his face.
-do not worry. Because the real king will surely save the pineapple girl.
‘Noisy.’
Raon pushed away the happy Lass and stood in a fixed position.
What Lars said is true. Surely something will come that is difficult to bear.
However.
“Laon. I will believe you!”
“Please take good care of me today!”
“I’m going to shoot the bow until my fingers are pulled out. Leave it behind!”
I can feel the soldiers and prosecutors gaining strength by looking at their backs. I couldn’t betray that hopeful gaze and run away alone.
‘It’s not just about being happy to have expectations.’
Receiving the trust and expectations of others seemed to involve more responsibility than joy. It was a feeling I would never know if it was an assassin.
‘I’m learning everything from this damn bastard,’
Raon glared at Las and clenched his sword.
“Oh, it’s ruined. ruined.”
With a weeping voice, Dorian pulled out a heap of logs and rocks from his belly pocket. When the monsters were about to climb up the wall, it seemed like they were trying to scatter.
“All ready for battle!”
“Ready for battle!”
Milland drew his sword and ordered the final preparations. The soldiers chanted and slammed their spears to the floor.
“Laon.”
He turned his head and called for Raon. All eyes of the castle turned to him.
“I leave this fighter to you.”
A fighter is a word used to raise the morale of the soldiers before the battle begins. Until now, Milland has always done it, but it meant passing it on to Raon for the first time.
“Why me… .”
“Because I think what you say will work better than what I say.”
Milland pointed to the soldiers with a chin. My heart swelled at the gazes with little faith.
‘The fighter… .’
Perhaps because of the way he lived, he didn’t have much to say, but there was one thing he wanted.
Raon turned around. He smiled softly as he met the eyes of the entire Habun Castle.
“Everyone survive!”
I put the sincerity in a stupid word.
“Oh, that’s all?”
“I can’t even speak as much as I thought.”
Dorian opened his mouth, and Beto grinned.
“Well… .”
“It’s nice to be a man, but what?”
Edquill just stared, and Terian nodded softly.
“I like it because it’s simple.”
“Actually, Commander, your fighter is too long.”
“At first I thought he was the headmaster of a swordsmanship school.”
The knights and soldiers burst into laughter. The fears and tensions that were young just before the war faded away as if blown by the wind, and a flag that seemed to pierce the sky rose.
“A single swordsman raises the morale of the troops to the highest level.”
The corners of Milland’s lips rose slightly.
“This is your position now. It means you have a trust that goes beyond the commander.”
“I just… .”
“I beg you today. I will save many soldiers.”
Milland smiled and raised her hand towards the sky. The moment the hand clenched the fist, the third war began.
“Shoot!”
A bundle of silver arrows containing the will to survive drew a beautiful parabola and tore the skin of the monsters apart.
“Kyaahhh!”
“Aaah!”
“Kiaah!”
But the monsters did not stop walking. As if provoked by the dragon’s repulsion, he twisted his eyes and rushed towards the wall.
“Shoot!”
At Milland’s instructions, hundreds of arrows fell one after the other. Numerous monsters threw their heads on the floor, but more numbers clashed with their lives.
Aww!
When the monsters put their bodies at the same time, the castle shook as if it was about to collapse.
“Coming up! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!”
“Throw stones and trees first!”
“Hey hey!”
Starting with Dorian, the soldiers threw stones and wood to crush the orcs, trolls, and Krats that climbed up the wall. The spearmen pierced their spears downward, and the archers constantly bounced back.
A mighty standard was put on the blade lit by the setting sun, but the monsters did not back down. I climbed the wall like crazy with the thought that I was going to get over the castle somehow.
Raon looked into the monsters’ eyes and bit his lip.
‘Also.’
Fear filled his eyes. I didn’t see it wrong. The monsters were full of thoughts of escaping beyond this wall rather than an appetite or intention to attack.
“Aaah!”
The first to climb the wall was the ogre. It landed on the fortress wall in just two steps with its tremendous leaping power.
“Profit!”
“Huh!”
Raon moved as the ogres screamed and the soldiers frightened to life retreated. The ogre’s right arm, which was about to smash the soldiers’ heads, was cut off at once.
“Woo!”
The ogre didn’t choose to counterattack, he rolled his feet once more. He tried to go down the wall, but of course he wouldn’t let him go. The slash that spread out as a beam of light hit the ogre’s head.
“Aww!”
“Kyaah!”
After that, trolls and shark moles climbed up the castle like swarms of ants. Raon covered the walls with glacia to help the soldiers in crisis and cut down the monsters.
“Kia!”
Sharksting rose by breaking down one axis of the fortress wall. The thorns that sprouted all over his body trembled like arrows before the string was pulled.
“Huh!”
“Shah, it’s Sharksting!”
“The thorns are flying!”
“Hey!”
The moment Sharksting’s thorn went in and was about to pop out, his neck flew off, and Raon appeared from behind.
“Go, thank you.”
“Laon!”
Raon was greeted by the soldiers who were sitting there and looked over the wall.
‘Are they even coming to animals?’
Behind the rushing monsters, you can see the wild animals that lived near Mount Sterlin. My hair stood up as I watched the wild animals that did not move even during the wave run away.
“Uh… .”
Milland bit his lip to see if he saw the same thing as him. Even for him, who has lived here all his life, the current situation seemed astonishing.
“Terian!”
“Yes!”
Deputy Commander Terian succumbed to his call.
“Send out scouts to take refuge in the villages behind the castle. Even the civilians inside the castle. all!”
“Yes?”
Terian’s eyes widened at the unexpected instruction.
“hurry!”
“Oh, I see!”
Terian swallowed dry saliva and went down the wall to begin giving orders to the scouts.
‘Also.’

Now he seemed to realize for sure that the situation was worse than the wave. Even so, he still had no intention of backing down.
As Raon ate up, a huge diamond-shaped shadow fell over the wall.
“It’s Mantakoon!”
“Two! Coming from both sides!”
As the soldiers said, a huge stingray-type monster, Mantakoon, was flying.
Raon and Milland moved at the same time. They slashed their swords towards the rising Mantakun to the left and to the right, respectively. The two swords each emitted a different color of fire.
Aww!
Two mantacons, split in half, fell and attacked the monsters that were climbing the wall. The ground shook like an earthquake, and there was a momentary silence.
Milland’s eyes met. His wrinkled presbyopia drew soft arcs. Then he sent me a message.
[If a dangerous situation comes, you will fall.]
[Yes? what is that… .]
[I understand the meaning of what you said earlier. You saw farther than me.]
He continued as he cut through the orc horde.
[You are an unmanned man who can go up. Don’t take your life in vain Think about the future.]
After saying that, he turned his head. Never saw this again.
‘Run away?’
I looked back. The eyes of young beliefs and beliefs are illuminating the darkness. If I wanted to run away alone, I would have gone right away.
Aww!
He clenched his teeth and slashed his sword. The glow of the glowing flames hung from the tip of the sword went like an island battle and cut the throat of the troll that filled the walls.
“You can’t run away alone.”
Raon glared at Las, who smiled leisurely with his sad blue eyes.
‘I can’t lose to you.’
-Is it a meaningless kick?
‘Whether there is a meaning or not, we will know only after passing.’
– I can already see you on your knees in astonishment.
‘Even if I kneel, I will save them.’
Under the rising yellow moon. Red and blue eyes met.
* * *
Mercury continued until sunrise the next day.
It was not a simple war, but a battle that would not be strange even if it was called a bloody battle for survival, so the soldiers standing on the wall were gasping for breath, and their arms and legs were relaxed.
However, with a will and a sense of duty to protect this castle, he threw out his spear and sword until the end.
“Almost done!”
“Give me strength until the end!”
“Hold on! Trust your colleague behind you!”
All officers and soldiers alike shouted and swung their weapons to the end. The waves of monsters subsided with the same standard of deterioration, and the end began to be seen.
“Not much left!”
“When the sun rises, it is our victory!”
“Wow!”
The number of monsters significantly decreased compared to yesterday, and the soldiers’ eyes regained strength.
“Kiaah!”
“Clarak!”
However, the reaction of the monsters was also different from usual. Even though the number had decreased, instead of running away, they climbed the wall more earnestly. Of course, he climbed up without thinking and dedicated his neck to the swords of the swordsmen and knights.
“Why are these guys doing this?”
“Is it time to run away?”
“Why doesn’t the sun rise?”
“uh? Come to think of it, it’s been a while since sunrise!”
The monsters and the soldiers who realized that the current situation was strange frowned.
“ah… .”
Raon opened his eyes.
‘Isn’t the sun rising?’
As the night continued, the sky was still filled with darkness.
The moment he realized that, a man approached the night curtain.
The moment he saw the three horns protruding from his forehead and temple, he could not breathe as if he was facing the abyss.
“ha… .”
far away The sound of his breathing reached his ears.
“cold… . Sleepy… . annoying… . But I woke up… .”
He lifted his head, parting his pale blue lips. Black eyes with fading light. The moment I met those eyes, I was shocked as if my soul was being shattered.
Hey, did this guy exist?
I felt like I was going to lose my mind by the aura of death that was slowly blooming. The Majesty of the Demon King. The incarnation of the devil was aiming at this place.
“cold… I barely fell asleep… . I woke up again… . everything bothers me… .”
Mumbling unknown words, trampling the white night. All the light of the world seemed to feed on him.
‘Is that guy? What is the Jamtang you mentioned?’
Raon clenched her teeth and looked down at the flower bracelet.
– You seem to have realized it now.
An eerie chill fluttered in Lars’ blue eyes.
-The name of that slug is the one who accepts. Sloth.
Looking at the monster called Sloth, he twisted his lips.
– He is the monarch of
Parasite number 3 has entered the chat!
