77 – Attack
Early morning.
The awakened Winter Knights have been pretending to know Evan.
“Boy knight! “Thank you so much for helping me yesterday!”
Winter knights wearing thick white leather armor.
Evan felt quite familiar with this.
Because I have experienced it a lot in my past life.
Evan shook his head.
“We all fought together. “There is nothing special about who is special.”
“Oh… Even to be humble. “Is this really real?”
The Winter Knights felt a strange attraction.
An outsider helps Gramberge with his life.
There was no one who would not feel grateful for this.
The Winter Knights offered to shake Evan’s hand.
“My name is Thomas. “It’s called the Wolf of the North.”
“Hey, Thomas! Call it a northern puppy! My name is Paulo. Stronger than Thomas.”
Diverse human groups.
Evan felt comfortable and shook hands with each of them.
A familiar feeling.
Their level may be low, but they were together on the battlefield.
The Winter Knights were not afraid of death on the front lines.
“A promising friend, very. Please take care of me!”
The atmosphere was friendly.
A time to get to know each other.
The knights praised Evan until his mouth was dry and then disappeared.
Despite the stench of corpses that could not be removed and the fear of the battlefield… They seemed calm.
‘It’s comfortable.’
For Evan, the battlefield was a familiar environment.
I guess they are similar.
A relationship where there is consensus is a good thing.
Evan turned his head.
A familiar woman is approaching.
Cynthia.
Cynthia stood in front of Evan, looking much better, as if she had gotten enough sleep last night.
A beautiful and cool voice that resonates.
“Isn’t the bed uncomfortable?”
“Sleeping without a night sweat is comfortable.”
“…… He speaks like a battlefield veteran. Originally, we were supposed to invite Evan to the main castle, but… “I’m sorry that the situation isn’t working out for you.”
Cynthia felt sorry.
As long as Evan is in Gramberge, I want to provide him with as comfortable an environment as possible.
Evan thought differently.
The next battle is right around the corner.
My heart is racing.
I can feel the pressure constricting her breathing.
How long has it been since I felt this way?
The joy is broken.
Evan closed her eyes.
“Maybe… “Once the war is over, I want to formally invite Evan.”
“…… If there is a chance.”
Cynthia speaks carefully.
Evan answered vaguely.
Will Gramberge really have the capacity to do so?
Evan thought of the barbarian queen.
‘Gramberge cannot prevent this attack.’
Evan wasn’t sure until now, but it occurred to her while she was dealing with the barbarians.
‘Today the Savage Queen is coming. Sword Saint Mayer and the capital’s masters are attacking the barbarians’ rear… The wall couldn’t hold up. The Wall fell and the North suffered from barbarian raids for a long time.’
That was an incident from a past life.
It is a decided future.
“…… Phew.”
Evan let out a heavy breath.
The pressure of death clearly approaching.
He was anxious that he would never be able to get back the swords he had accumulated so far.
I guess this is also a part of the war.
I’ll give it a try.
Evan asked Cynthia
“Do the 8 Swords of the Winter Queen have names?”
A somewhat sudden question.
Cynthia was puzzled, but she was able to give Evan an answer.
“It’s ‘The King Comes.'”
“Then what about 9 stars?”
“The Nine Stars are only in legend…… “In the literature, it only says ‘winter.'”
Gramberge’s vision book of swordsmanship only has abstract descriptions starting from the 8th voice, but there are no specific movements.
Evan asked a few more questions about the Winter Queen’s sword.
As far as I can tell to outsiders.
※
Wheeeing!
A snowstorm begins again.
Selene hugged both legs.
Her uncle Lord Haxen is receiving reinforcements.
“Thank you for coming.”
“Gramberge is the longtime leader of the North. “It’s natural for her to help.”
Two knights holding hands tightly.
Selene watched them from a distance, and she sucked in a cold breath.
Time to finish work and take a break.
When I look at the work of adults, I feel sorry for my mother who is no longer there.
Her mother died while giving birth to Selene.
A mother I don’t remember.
If she had a mother, would she have welcomed them more warmly?
Well.
Selene tore her bread and took it to her mouth.
In fact, there was nothing that her father, the Marquis Liam, could not do to Selene.
She loved Selene’s mother so much that she did not have a concubine for her.
She tries to grant what Selene wants whenever possible.
‘My father probably hates me.’
Marquis Liam did not do that.
Liam did not hate her daughter because she lost her wife giving birth to Selene.
She just endures it as a northern man.
So Selene liked her father.
Despite being a blunt father.
If you think about it, moonlight… No, Evan was blunt too.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘Why does Evan keep coming to mind?’
She thought of her father.
Selene shook her head.
I’m sure he’s doing this because of the memory of her being saved by Moonlight.
Even if you try to move past her memories, new memories are overwritten.
Evan came to the wall and fought with the barbarians.
There is no reason to come.
It’s as if I came here with Selene in mind…….
Of course, she was Selene’s mistake, but Selene was out of breath.
It is difficult to see Evan.
If you look at him for a long time… He feels like he’s going crazy.
I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ll do something very shameful.
“Selene.”
Selene’s thoughts were awakened by her uncle Haxen.
Haksen called Selene.
To guide the reinforcements.
“…… Yes.”
Selene hurriedly adjusted her clothes and played the role of a demure young lady from the North.
Kwa Bang!
And then an explosion rang out from the wall.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!!
An intense wave of magic power that seemed to crush her body.
Haksen and Selene came to their senses at the sudden phenomenon.
“Selene! Don’t switch roles! Her uncle will now go to the castle walls outside of Lord Luxel. “If the wall falls, you and your servants will fill it with stones!”
“I understand!”
The knight Lord Haksen shouted in a hurry.
Selene ran toward the wall.
※
“Lay out your defenses!! “Don’t save your mana battery!!”
Gramberge magic leader Eli shouted.
Boom! Bang!! Kwabang!!!
The magic barrier temporarily placed on the outer wall was destroyed in an instant.
The best shamans of the barbarians who rose to the sky.
As the sun rose, the shamans who appeared together were indiscriminately tearing down the barriers.
Boom! Thud! Knock!!
The outer walls are shaking.
Quarrr!!
Part of the outer wall collapsed, and the inside of the wall instantly became a mess.
“Damn it! “Let’s do it right now, shall we?”
Eli deployed his barrier magic with all his might and glared at the barbarians.
The constant influx of barbarian warriors changed its form.
Chiefs with magical energy come forward among the many barbarians.
And the middle of the chieftains.
There is a palanquin carrying a woman.
A woman lying down, a queen wearing a colorful crown.
Three major disasters.
Sapa, the barbarian queen.
As soon as he found her, Eli was mesmerized.
I feel an incredible magical power.
I don’t know how I’ve hidden it until now, but it feels like the sun is approaching.
But the nature of magical power was extremely cold.
“I, the queen of cold blood, am here.”
The queen’s solemn voice flowing from the palanquin.
The voice spread far beyond walls and barriers.
“You foreigners who have taken over the South, kneel before me.”
With those words, the Queen stretched out her hands forward.
Kugugugugugugu……….
The barrier surrounding the wall is melting… One axis of the outer wall evaporated.
The barbarians cheered like crazy at this god-like ability.
“Waaa!!!!!!”
※
Beep beep beep!
[Barbarian Queen Sapa confirmed beyond the rock barrier!]
[Rear surprise troops, we will return now!]
[Report to the imperial family! The current situation is classified as the highest threat level!]
A crystal ball that rings like crazy.
Cynthia took refuge within my walls, racking her brains as she tried to control the situation at her command post.
‘The outer wall… ‘It was virtually taken over.’
Many barbarian warriors are rushing in like crazy through the gap in the outer wall that the queen collapsed.
The passage between the outer wall and the inner wall is already filled with barbarian warriors and Gramberge’s soldiers.
The stabbing was in full swing even at the top of the outer wall.
Chaeng! Visor! Whiplash!!
By the time the barbarian warriors had already settled in on the outer wall, the wall was half-collapsed.
Ladders are coming up one by one on the inner wall that was not invaded until yesterday.
If the inner wall falls, it is truly the end of the North.
Cynthia felt like she was going to cry as the situation spiraled out of control.
There are no sharp tacticians in Gramberge.
Most of Gramberge’s subordinates are combatants.
Cynthia has no choice but to do it.
“Possible… I’ll hold on! “I hope you can apply quickly!!”
[Beep! This is the rear surprise unit! Teleportation is being hindered by the Queen’s shamans, so it is expected to take some time!]
The rear surprise unit refers to the swordsmen and masters who attack the rear of the barbarians.
There is a feeling of despair.
If teleportation is not possible, the rear surprise troops must break through that many barbarian troops.
In reality… It is difficult to expect support.
Cynthia screamed, feeling a sense of crisis as if her heart was being torn apart.
“Hecate!!”
Wow!
The barbarian warrior approaching the command center tumbles out.
Hecate, who defeated the barbarians, prostrated herself.
“I will protect you, young lady.”
“…… I’ll ask you a favor today. “The level of enemies is unusual.”
To the extent that Cynthia could easily die.
Yesterday the barbarians only had a lot of quantity, but now the quality has improved significantly.
Cynthia looked down at her queen’s palanquin with her fearful eyes.
A palanquin slowly approaches among the barbarians.
If it touches the barrier, what will happen…… Cynthia did not dare to predict.
※
Meanwhile, Evan and his group.
“Maya, do you really need to follow me?”
-Wherever you go, I will go too!
Maya was uncharacteristically stubborn.
Evan got hurt yesterday and seems to have been in great shock.
Evan sighed lightly.
Why does he become so weak to his disciple?
But even if Evan thinks about upholding the dignity of a teacher, his current actions are not rational.
In other words, this is Evan’s greed.
Someone who is not qualified wants to take on the strong.
Originally, we only wanted to deal with suitable barbarians, but… It’s a pity to go back already.
‘And the author is not rational either.’
Marquis Liam seen in front of Evan.
He led a death squad and was breaking through the passage between the outer and inner walls.
