108 – Make sure you have a parachute when skydiving(1)
When Hans announces that he will be participating in the Warrior’s Festival. Surprisingly, members did not vehemently oppose it. Is it because I don’t know much about the warrior’s festival? Are there any other reasons?
Anyway, it was Hans who wanted to kill his yesterday’s self, thinking that everything went well. The very next day, he saw to leave with the orcs. Aren’t all the members waiting at the entrance?
Of course, Hans, who was dumbfounded, tried to show the dignity of the leader by saying a sharp word this time. Unfortunately, Hans couldn’t do what he wanted this time.
“The captain also decided without consulting us, right?”
“…….”
“That’s a warrior’s festival too dangerous. Isn’t it?”
“…….”
Obviously, he is arguing with a soft voice. Its appearance was cold, almost like that of a ghost. Cluna smiled and properly questioned the leader one by one.
Thanks to that, Hans couldn’t say anything. He was shot down just like that. The other members didn’t say anything, but it was clear that most of them were thinking the same as Cluna.
Certainly, it was wrong to decide without saying a word to the other members. For Hans, this was for the best. Yes, let’s say it beforehand. Because everyone was going to be against it.
“What are they? Are they your partners?”
“Couples. What kind of nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Well, a brave warrior. He takes a lot of women.”
“…….”
Looking at the rusty king who suddenly appeared behind him, crossed his arms and nodded. Hans made an absurd look. Then the members in front spoke one word at a time.
“Couple…?! I’m not ready yet…!!”
“Orcs have eyes to see.”
“Bird, maybe Orcs aren’t a bad race…?”
“…….”
I just wish it was all turned off.
There was a little bit of a fuss. The departure itself was not so delayed. Although Hans strongly objected to the emptying of Lionheart Fort. It was because it collapsed at just one word from Helya.
“The fort can be reclaimed any number of times. However, if we lose the teacher, we will be nothing.”
“That’s…”
“Sensei, we were able to come this far thanks to you. Please… Don’t forget that fact.”
With that being said, how can you object? He even received a confirmation that he would protect Lionheart Fortress directly from the human kingdom. Human King, how dare you betray me?!
With deep lamentation, Hans finally had no choice but to allow them to accompany them. Surprisingly, the rusty overlord, Dezra, did not think badly of it. He rather praised Hans and liked it.
“Drinking alcohol. Taking women. Fighting to the death. Truly, a model of a warrior.”
“What do you mean?”
Dezra’s words really represent the values of the orcs. Unfortunately, Hans was not in a position to accept that. After making all preparations, they set off immediately.
The Orcs are located in the North, a land of extremes. I was living in the land of Averca. Surprisingly, it is said that there is not enough hunting for a polar region. Feeling suspicious about that, Hans asked a question.
“Are there so many animals and plants living there?”
“Simple. Monsters. You can eat them.”
“…….”
“Not tasty. Like dwarves. Beasts. The most delicious.”
A vein sprouted from Bayard’s forehead as he was walking right next to Hans’s horse. This is the moment when you finally understand why the 12 tribes have such a bad relationship with orcs.
If it weren’t for demons. Perhaps the 12 tribes and the orcs would continue to fight until the end, until one side ended. However, Hans, the leader of the Royal Knights, had to stop that for now.
At least until all the demons are subdued…… What? Wait for a sec. Why was I so passionate about subjugating demons? Hans felt uncomfortable. Of course subjugating the demons is important.
But I think there was another reason besides that.
From noble mtl dot com.
A sense of incongruity that I always felt. But it made him bigger than he had ever felt before. As if someone is adjusting the limits little by little. Hans brushed off that sense of incongruity.
Because the first thing was to solve the problem in front of me. Hans raised his head in silence. Those at a short distance from Lionheart Fortress had huge wings.
He had hair on his head. It was grinding its huge, sharp teeth here and there. The reason Hans didn’t draw his sword was because no one around him was showing hostility.
“Averca. It’s far from here. I ride a horse. It takes half a year, or more than a year.”
“Is it that far away?”
“Distance is also distance. Above all, the road is the worst. Elves would rather run faster through the woods, right?”
“So, let’s fly. Wyvern.”
Indeed, I understood why I had to fly. But there is one big question that remains unanswered. If I remember correctly, the wyvern was also one of the types of monsters.
Can I really ride that?
* * *
In conclusion. That was Hans’ reason. The riding comfort of the Wyverns controlled by the Orcs was beyond imagination. The view from the sky was better than expected.
If I could sum up my feelings right now in one word, it felt like riding a horse through the blue sky. Only one thing, if only he wasn’t back hugging a green orc from behind.
“I want to ride alone next time.”
“hahahahaha! That’s right! Wyverns are pleasant!”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Dezra replied with a hearty laugh. Thanks to that, it was Hans who was in trouble. Back hugging a green monster was disgusting enough. So let’s take off his arms.
It was because I was afraid that I would be blown away by the wind blowing right in front of my nose. In the end, when she was unable to do this or that, Dezra, who was laughing out loud in front of her, spoke to Hans.
“There you go. That’s Averca.”
“That’s a snowy mountain.”
“Hmm! Winter gear. Enough?”
“Thanks.”
The cold weather equipment the Orcs provided was a bit like that at first glance. One performance was certain. Otherwise, I wondered if I would have froze to death right away. Dezra kindly continued to explain.
“Orcs are strong against the cold. But Averka’s cold. It’s murderous enough that even orcs can’t stand it.”
“I see.”
“So, the warrior’s festival. Be careful.”
“What?”
There is one important fact that I didn’t mention here. Originally, Orcs are violent and violent. In the first place, there is no communication between the same kind of Orcs. What about the other races?
The situation that created synergy was the current one. The festival of warriors, the method is very simple. You just have to come out alive in the polar forest of Averca. Even if it takes years.
But there is no guide in the forest. It was because the moment they entered, they ate all the guides and pilgrims. So, the Orcs thought. Let’s just drop it from the sky into the forest.
I can assure you that more than 40% of the pilgrims lost their lives due to falls. Anyway, even Hans, the captain of the Royal Knights, was no exception. And the result is this
“aaa?!”
Unexpectedly, Hans skydived in the air and couldn’t help but scream. Anyhow, suddenly skydiving out of thin air was never a matter of poker face.
However, even under such circumstances, he was able to get his head rolling. It was thanks to the valuable experience of fighting for his life so far. It’s not that he didn’t, he fell and died. Died fighting because there it is
‘Time stopped?! No, no! Even if you stop time, you will die! Time acceleration?! To die sooner?! Are you crazy!’
In the end, Hans had only one option in this situation. That’s time slowing down. It was comforting that the penalty for deceleration was weak compared to time acceleration.
But he couldn’t use it in the current situation. The headaches you get from using Time Slow are no ordinary headaches. The pain of someone splitting your head with an ax and stabbing your brain with a needle.
It was at a level that was better than time acceleration. The penalty for slowing down the time was also formidable. However, if you use it too late, you could get seriously injured or even die.
‘Right now!’
But actually, it wasn’t a big deal to Hans. In a situation where you could lose your life or get seriously injured if you hit it so far. Hans risked his life and used his abilities to get here.
That meant that the proficiency related to Hans’ abilities had developed very well without his knowledge. Even more so, compared to the battlefield where you can lose your life with a single difference. This is nothing.
Thanks to using time slowdown on myself by 2 seconds. Hans was able to land properly on the tree with a thick stump without difficulty. Hans let out a sigh of relief and looked up.
I saw wyverns flying across the sky.
I can’t.
I didn’t expect it to start already. Let’s solve it quickly
