122 – Siege of Ares Bridge (1)
Hans rode the wyvern back as if he were running away from the palace. It seemed like if I continued to do so, it would cause trouble again. It was good that he took pride in where he belonged, of course.
But if it goes too far, things get annoyingly twisted. It’s a pity that the king of humans has somehow gotten over it. If I made a mistake, the expedition plan would be greatly ruined.
This expedition is especially important. Even if you exclude the resources to go into the expedition or the manpower to be consumed. It is clear that it will be a matter of whether or not we can continue to carry this momentum forward.
There is a saying that if you stay still, you will go in the middle. Those were the words Hans knew best. However, if you think about it differently. If you stay still, it means you can only go halfway.
Hans already knows the outcome of the original work. After the demons who annihilated the Royal Knights recover their strength. They break the barrier in earnest and begin marching. As a result, the continent was greatly pushed back.
In the end, the situation of the original work is to endure while barely defending the remaining territory. Then, when the main character appears, the situation is reversed. It’s because the main character is Munchkin.
Originally, the production crew directly revealed in Blue Bird that the continent was completely handed over to the demons. In other words, even if we stay like this, it means that there is no hope for us in the end.
‘Of course, holding out until the main character appears is the way to go.’
There are still a few more years left before the main character appears. Until then, there is no guarantee that the demons will recover their strength and not attack again. If so, can I really block that attack?
Hans was honestly not confident about that question. Although all the knights belonging to the Royal Knights could be said to be first-class. It’s not easy enough to stop it with force alone.
So Hans made a bold decision. Now that the power of the demons has weakened, let’s take advantage of the opportunity. It’s hard to succeed the first time, but if you succeed once, it will continue from then on.
Because they are not races that will never pass on the benefits of other races. If the expedition is activated like that. Naturally, the power of demons can be greatly reduced. That was the picture Hans drew.
In addition, the human king was also planning a separate expedition. Thanks to him, he was able to get his hands on some good information. Hans went back with the information and set up a meeting right away.
The Round Table of Equality.
For all races to listen to each other’s sincere opinions without discrimination. Furthermore, the symbol of the Royal Knights was created to unite that will. Everyone was gathered there now.
Hans was admiring the scene again. At first he had only one thought: to restore the Royal Knights. He honestly wondered if he could do it.
Royal Knights are heroes who protect the continent. Will I ever be able to rebuild such a group of heroes? No answer came out. Hans just did what he could.
His sincerity reached everyone. His selfless actions influenced everyone. Without discrimination based on race. Because he was Hans who showed genuine care.
It must be that the first-class girls believe in and follow Hans. Of course, Hans is from modern society, so it’s close to being free from prejudice. Because they don’t know that
“All gathered. Let’s start the meeting right away.”
For them, it was a strange thing to gather everyone and give them the same information. The act of discriminating information according to race was surprisingly common.
Even when the Royal Knights were fine right now. Rather than all hanging out together. It was a time when friendly tribes got along. You kept a relationship that seemed to benefit you.
Otherwise, it was thoroughly knocked out. Of course, it wasn’t like that from the beginning. At some point, it naturally became that kind of atmosphere. And their words weren’t so good.
“I got information from the human king. We’re going to be put into Ares’ bridge.”
“What is the number of people?”
“Everyone will join the battle. If you fail, there is no back.”
If even this expedition fails, then it will truly be over. Opposition to the expedition will rise. Other races that were already passive will become more passive.
At least Lionheart Fortress could have been attacked by monsters. That could be asking for guards from the Beasts or Dwarves. Anyway, there are quite a few ways to protect it.
There is no turning back if you fail after working with halfway thoughts like saving power. Hans was going to go all-in with all his might this time. Yuren raised her hand and expressed disapproval.
“What will you do if you fail at least once?”
“It is our role not to make it so.”
“That’s true…”
Unsuitable for Yuren, she showed a lack of confidence. It felt like she was facing her own failures again. Back then, she was more numerous than she is now. Because she was full of supplies.
Nevertheless, the expedition failed spectacularly. The Royal Knights completely collapsed because of that. Even now, after being reconstructed, it does not show the same level of absolute influence as before.
And it could not be said that Yuren, the general manager, was also responsible for that. Because she was the head of the Royal Knights. Hans, who watched her for a moment, opened his mouth as he crossed her arms.
“I know what you’re worried about. And it’s not like I don’t understand your heart either.”
“…….”
“But, that’s why now is an opportunity. A chance to overcome failures and move forward. What do you think?”
“……Sorry, my mind was weak for a while.”
As if you’ve made up your mind again. There was no shaking in Yuren’s eyes anymore. Looking at her, Hans nodded her head. All that remains now is to determine the goal of the expedition.
“Our objective is to capture Ares’ bridge.”
“It’s not going to be easy, is it?”
“Yes, the bloodline guarding the place is the problem.”
“Ares’ leg. I’ve heard of it.”
From noble mtl dot com
Yuren and Cluna had seen Ares’ legs before. The other members did not remember. In other words, it means that he left the expedition through a different route. Hans said with a nod of his head.
“Do you know anything about Ares’ legs?”
“It’s a fortress that was built by the human kingdom in the past. It reminds me that the Dwarves were wary of being close to the Dwarves’ technology.”
“That means we have to break through such a great fortress.”
“What’s more, blood ancestors are unpredictable enemies.”
Compared to the true ancestor, its power is insignificant. Jinjo is very difficult to meet because there are only a few of them. In fact, the greatest threat to the tribal union was none other than Bloodline.
Besides, unlike the low-ranking monsters and monsters who haven’t even been given a name. From blood ancestors, they have very dangerous powers. It was because the Comprachicos, who manipulated Yuren right away and gave a sh*t, were bloodlines.
“Fortunately, we have information obtained from the human kingdom. Based on this, we can proceed with the siege.”
“You’ve worked hard in the human kingdom.”
“Hmph, it’s obvious. How can we get our cooperation without that much?”
Is it because I’ve already gone through annihilation once? These were the Royal Knights who took it for granted. Hans was slightly worried, but for now, he turned off his nerves. I wanted to focus on this.
“It is said that the blood ancestor protecting Ares’ bridge is the guardian of mud that has been infamous since the past.”
“Guardian of Mud? I’ve never heard of that name before?”
“I never thought I’d hear that name here.”
“Mom? Does she know the name?”
“Yes, I’ve had fights in person.”
Cluna even said that he had even met and fought. Hans exclaimed inwardly. SARS is hundreds of years old…… !!! In terms of experience, there was no ally approaching like this reassuringly.
“Mud Guardian is a metaphorical name. It resembles an alligator dragged into a mud fight, hence the name.”
“It’s a mud fight. How about it specifically?”
“There’s nothing special about it. It has 7 hearts. They say it won’t die unless you pierce all of them.”
“Should I blow 7 hearts at once? It won’t be easy.”
It was obvious that each bloodline would have the strength to live up to its name. Against such an enemy, if you don’t burst 7 hearts at once, you will immediately regenerate. Hans clicked his tongue and said.
“The first thing I can think of is Yuren’s breath.”
“That’s true. I don’t think a blood-blooded being would just give it an easy hit.”
“I see.”
Hans searched for the best possible way. Although he also wanted to save the time stop ability as much as possible. Just in case the time stop doesn’t work, I’m trying to come up with another method.
Anyway, if there are many other numbers, it’s good.
