Episode 71
“Hey, what does that mean!”
Burren opened her eyes in disbelief.
“Literally.”
Raon walked forward and made eye contact with all the trainees.
“The mission is not over yet.”
“So what does that mean? I caught all the monsters and finished the post-processing, so why didn’t the mission end?”
“What was our mission?”
“uh? that… .”
Burren frowned, then opened his mouth again.
“Subdue monsters and protect the village.”
“okay. Our mission was not only to subdue monsters, but also to protect the village.”
“So that’s it! We should have caught all the monsters!”
“no.”
Raon shook his head and looked towards Cebu Village, which he had been walking so far.
“We were being watched a while ago. It was an hour ago that the watchdog’s gaze fell.”
“uh?”
“Hey, what is that!”
“Really?”
Surprised, the trainees jumped to their feet.
“It must be the teacher.”
Burren forcibly twisted his lip. He didn’t seem to believe that there was a watchful eye.
“The instructor must have come to watch us… .”
“I cannot know who the instructor is. The sign observed not only us, but the village as a whole. There… .”
Raon pointed to the path he had taken.
“As soon as we were half a day away from town, the presence disappeared. Also towards the village.”
“Then another enemy?”
Burren opened her mouth. He looked towards the village with trembling eyes.
“Is that true?”
Marta, who had been quiet for a while, frowned and stood up.
“Are you sure.”
“Then when did you start feeling that gaze?”
“From the moment we reached the hill overlooking the village.”
“for a moment! Then I handed over the command to Burren… .”
“right. I hid my presence to get a clearer picture of that gaze.”
“her… .”
Martha swallowed her dry saliva.
‘What the hell is this guy… .’
The moment he heard Raon’s words, his hair stood upright.
He felt the gaze and presence that he could not even feel, and after changing Behren to the chief, he hid among the trainees and grasped the gaze. My senses and my heart were astonished, so no words came out.
“Hey, that’s why you gave me command?”
“Because I thought that if you took the command, you would treat the trainees better than me.”
“I, I… .”
“You showed a better side of the chief than I expected. Thanks to you, they think you’re the chief, and they don’t even feel my presence. As you said, it looked like a Sieghard. When I get back, I suggest that you appoint me as deputy chief.”
“That’s not it.”
Burren shook her head and licked her lips.
‘shit!’
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t raise my face.
‘I know I did well… .’
I thought Raon was at a loss for words thanks to the perfect direction, but it wasn’t at all. He was hiding behind the guard to keep the watcher in check.
While immersed in the little thing of chief command, Raon was looking far and high.
Whoops.
But the funny thing is that when I heard Raon’s praise, I didn’t feel bad again.
It was a strange feeling, a mixture of shame and pride.
“You don’t know, but orcs, goblins, and kobolds are not monsters that can cooperate. The guys watching us must have done something.”
Raon did not talk about Eden, but only released things that he could see and feel.
“Our first mission is to protect the village. Our mission is not over unless we know what the watcher is thinking.”
I packed my things and got up.
“I will go back to Cebu from now on. It’s not going to announce everything like before, but it moves quietly so that no one notices.”
He looked at everyone and spoke.
“It would be nice to have a camouflage tool, but I didn’t have it, so even for a step… .”
“I, I have.”
Dorian, who was half-passed, raised his hand.
“what?”
“There is a screen to cover the military uniform, and there is a band to put the bushes on the clothes.”
“No more than one or two. Rather, it stands out… .”
“It’s all there.”
Dorian ripped out the screen and band from his stomach pocket. I don’t know what he’s doing with all of this.
“How do you do this… .”
“I brought it in case you didn’t know.”
“Are you carrying 40 camouflage tools because you don’t know?”
“Preparation must be thorough.”
“Uh, well done anyway.”
“Yep!”
Dorian was the only one to hear Raon’s praise and smiled. Of course, my face darkened quickly because I didn’t know if I would go back to the village and fight.
“Because the quantity is enough. Start disguising as you learned in the gym. Come back here in 10 minutes. and… .”
Raon was the first to put on a veil and raised her head.
“crane.”
“uh? uh!”
“You run to the Sieghard branch right now and tell me exactly what I said.”
“My, me?”
“Because your feet are fast.”
Dorian is faster, but he might need something.
“Oh, I see!”
Is it the joy of being recognized? Crane nodded coldly and ran to the other side of the village.
Raon looked at the running crane and turned his head again.
“From now on, obey my orders unconditionally. There is no rejection.”
* * *
“Everyone is back.”
A man in a mask with engraved eyeballs knelt down.
“Are you sure?”
A young man with a green helmet turned his head.
“Yes. I’ve been here for half a day to check back drunk on victory. I checked the other side as well, just in case, but there was no particular problem.”
“Then we can start.”
The young man grinned and picked up a plain helmet and wore it over his head.
“restoration.”
At the man’s incantation-like words, green molten iron flowed from the orc helmet.
👌👌👌👌
The molten iron adheres to the man’s body like a living creature, giving it the shape of an armor.
Chi profit!
Huge muscles swelled in his arms and chest, his fingers clenched as hard as marble, and his legs as thick as the roots of a tree.
This is not an ordinary knight’s armor.
Oak. It was also a bizarre piece of armor that took the form of an orc fighter standing at the forefront of an orc assault force.
flash!
Red eyes full of murderous intent flashed from the inside of the orc fighter’s helmet.
“Clarara!”
A bizarre roar erupted from the man’s throat. It sounded like a monster, not a human.
“Oooh!”
As if responding to the roar, the orcs rushed out from behind him.
Goo!
The man pointed to the village of Cebu with a hand with a little red energy.
“Clarara!”
“Gyaah!”
The orcs ran down the ground screaming their teeth. Their movements were incomparably wilder than when they were attacked by the trainees.
“Kurre.”
The man wearing the armor of an orc warrior looked at the monsters that were pushed like waves with a bloody smile.
* * *
Raon and the trainees arrived at a hill overlooking Cebu Village.
“Is nothing done yet?”
Burren frowned as he looked at the village. There was only smoke rising from the village, reflecting the tranquility.
“wait. And lower your voice, lower your body.”
“Well… .”
At Raon’s instructions, Beren kept her mouth shut and bowed her back.
“From now on, be careful with your breathing. You could be annihilated the moment you get caught.”
“Uh… .”
“Ugh!”
The trainees covered their mouths with their hands and their eyes trembled.
“What is annihilation? .”
“It doesn’t matter what I do. We are Sieghard… .”
On the other hand, some of the collaborators who did not believe Raon’s words frowned. They were intoxicated with their first victory and their confidence was at its peak.
“Quiet. It is never too late to complain once it becomes clear.”
Only after Burren left did the collaborators shut their mouths and sat down.
“Fill your stomach with jerky in advance, and wear winter clothes. Even if it’s cold at night, I can’t light a fire.”
The trainees followed Raon’s instructions even though they complained a little.
The sun went down towards Cebu Mountain, and a dark night came.
under the dark mountain. Hundreds of red lights flashed. Green monsters poured out with a ruby-like light.
“Ugh!”
“Oh, orc! They are monsters!”
“Gee, was it real?”
The trainees swallowed their saliva when they saw the orcs’ vicious eyes.
“Uh… .”
Burren bit her dry lips. Cebu Mountain and its surroundings were searched reliably, and no monsters were found. It doesn’t make sense that such a number of monsters appeared so quickly.
‘It was just like that.’
As Raon said, a monster. Even more ferocious and powerful monsters than those they subjugated were pouring out.
ding ding!
The sound of a villager who was standing guard at the barrier was sounding the alarm. The lights in the village that seemed to have descended on darkness were turned on, and the sound of hum was heard all the way here.
“shit!”
Burren clenched her teeth and stood up. He drew his sword and exhaled a shaky breath.
“let’s go. This time is definitely the end… .”
“sit down.”
Raon nodded with cold eyes.
“What?”
“I said. There were eyes watching us. It’s not like a monster, it’s a human. Their identities have not yet been revealed.”
“Yeah, but Cebu’s troops can’t stop that number of orcs!”
“Even so, wait. If you make a mistake, this will be annihilation.”
This is an accurate judgment that is not biased against emotions. You should not move unless you know the enemy’s number and force.
“You said it! Our mission is to protect the village! Then you have to move now!”
“The instructor said giving up or resigning is one of the choices of the mission. Now is not the time to move.”
“I, I can’t stand it.”
Burren shook the hand holding the sword.
“Killing them like that is not what Sighard Sieghart would see!”
In his green eyes, the rush of orcs was dazzlingly young.
“right.”
“We are Sieghard. We should not back down after seeing the crisis of the weak… .”
“Even if they say Eden?”
Raon’s cold voice intervened among the trainees who were burning with intense will.
“Eh, Eden? Oma’s Eden?”
“Are those crazy people?”
“Eden is famous for controlling monsters. Unless it’s them, monsters like that don’t appear all of a sudden.”
“uh… .”
“Oh, Omarani… .”
At the sound of Oma’s Eden, the pupils’ eyes became blurred as if they were eroded. everyone will know How strong and formidable the existence of Eden is.
“I know the strength of Eden. But they didn’t attack us. It means to be afraid of the name of Sieghard.”
Burren clenched his fists until he bled.
“You can’t turn your back on them and run away. Raising a sword for them here is what I thought of as the swordsman of Sieghardt.”
“It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t help at all. If you can figure out the situation and fight… .”
“Then it’s late. In the meantime, half of the villagers will die.”
He looked at Raon with trembling eyes.
“I mean. acknowledged you After confirming your efforts, I admit in my heart that you were more worthy of Sieghard’s name than me! But not this! If you stop me, I will go to that village even if I have to fight.”
Burren drew his sword as it was. The well-polished sword shone in the moonlight, illuminating his determined face.
“You don’t have to follow everyone. Only those who think like me, follow me!”
He ran down the hill, draped in a dark green auror and firm will.
“Let’s go too. Let’s show the Omar bastards Sieghard’s sword!”
All the guards stood up. Without even pulling out his sword, he followed Beren.
tt
There was someone standing next to Raon when he clicked his tongue briefly.
“I will go too.”
Runan jumped down the hill with his sword wrapped in cypher cold.
“We will do it together!”
The trainees of the vassal family also drew their swords and attached themselves to her side.
“Oh, let’s go too!”
“okay. We are Sieghard’s trainees too!”
The commoner trainees, who were tainted with Beren and Runan’s beliefs, drew their swords and ran towards the village’s flames.
“… … .”
Raon turned around without saying a word. Dorian and the trainees who had been following him since they were temporary trainees all went down to the village.
More than half of them left, but Raon did not panic.
‘Because I expected it.’
I knew that the trainees were such guys. Their descending was also part of the plan.
In particular, I even sent a message to Runan to come down and help Burren.
However, the most surprising person remained.
“Why didn’t you go?”
Raon looked back at Marta, who was leaning her back against the tree.
“You said I will follow your instructions no matter what you say on this mission.”
She felt sincerity as she spoke with her black eyes shining. She seemed to have established her own beliefs.
“is it.”
Leon chuckled.
“So what are you going to do? Are you going to just wait here?”
“no. We go too.”
Raon shook his head and stood up. The orcs had arrived in front of the village barrier.
The fear of the people and the madness of the orcs seemed to bloom into a red mist.
“Of course, like those guys, they don’t have it openly and kill their presence. Free your body so that you can move at any time.”
After giving Raon’s instructions, he stared at the middle of Mt. Cebu, not the village of Cebu. A strong yet dark life swayed inside me.
‘He’s over there.’
He was able to stop the trainees, but there was one reason he left them alone.
Because I knew who the guy over there was.
A monster that borrowed the strength and fighting spirit of an orc fighter looked down on the village from the side of the mountain.
It’s not an easy opponent if you fight head-on, but if it’s an assassination, it’s a different story.
‘If you attract attention, you can catch it enough.’
Raon turned his wrists, shining red eyes like the moon in the sky.
‘Today will be a long night.’
