Episode 29. Schlageter.
Leo will take care of Paul and Lucas.
There’s no way I’ll let them run away without me, and if you go to the Gefart training center after work, you’ll see two people who have completely changed.
I hope you don’t just resent me.
“Leo. What about him?”
“I came out of the academy yesterday.”
Is this a start soon?
“What about that bastard’s family?”
“The 3rd Knights have moved.”
The 3rd Knights are, in their own way, the Knights under the direct control of the family.
These guys have decent skills…. They’re knights, they’re more like mercenaries.
“No big deal. Let the Knights take care of it, and where are you going to lure him?”
“This is Njord.”
Hmm.
If it’s Njord, you’ll have to go here for five days, so why did you keep it so far away?
“Elias-sama has chosen that place.”
“Then what? It doesn’t matter.”
If Elias did that, there must be a reason.
“Let’s leave right now.”
“I have prepared the wagon below.”
“Yes, ah. Foul guy with a fire extinguisher, Lucas with a heavy weapon. Understand?”
“Yes. All right.”
If both of you are told to use the same weapon, you should separate them because you don’t know what they’ll do in competition again.
“I am going. Thank you.”
“Yes. You worked hard.”
“What am I struggling with? I’ll tell Elias to give me a generous bonus.”
“Thank you!”
If it’s Elias, he’ll give you a generous bonus.
I had a lot of trouble washing the kids, feeding them, catching them running away, but I have to take care of them.
I took the carriage Rio told me about and headed for Njord.
There is no shaking even on unpaved roads, as if it was a decent carriage.
I was just a little bored.
Nothing happened for 5 days.
I just go there during the day and sleep at night.
Later on, they just sat next to the coachman and talked.
When I arrived at Njord, I saw familiar people.
“Brother. Long time no see.”
“Oh. I am the captain.”
Licard, the captain of the exclusive mercenary squad at the Build Kunst Mercenary.
Since he is a commoner, he does not have a family name.
For a mercenary, he looks pretty, but his beard is too messy.
I wish I could shave that bastard’s beard off.
“Ha ha ha. Not ajay I am still a bachelor.”
“Still?”
“Yes. Still.”
“That’s right.”
Are you 37 now? Anyway, I know you’re in your late 30s, but you’re still not married….
“I heard the young master is going to marry soon?”
“…Who is that?”
What is the marriage price, what is the marriage price…. It’s not like there’s no sting, but it’s not certain.
Perhaps.
“A. Rumors have already spread at the top. I heard that that’s a princess too?”
“… Let’s do something. Where is he now?”
“hehehehe. Look at what you’re talking about.”
Anyway, this nobleman cannot be defeated with words.
As expected, the service industry.
I don’t envy the emperor even with just one tooth.
“He said it was about two hours away. I’m gathering black people there.”
Kkamangi refers to a monster that is tainted with demonic energy.
Everybody calls it that except me.
“How many gathered?”
“About 40 orcs?”
“Tsk. There are many. How about the large ones?”
“There were a few trolls living nearby, but hehehe I caught them all beforehand.”
“Oh, he is also our mercenary father.”
Certainly competent.
I know what to do first even if I don’t say anything.
“Hey, I caught an expensive guy and touched some money after a long time.”
“Anyway, thanks are thanks, so there’s nothing particularly dangerous about it.”
“Yes. Oh, only the kids put in? Can we help you?”
“Let the kids go. They are past the age where they need a babysitter.”
“Then we will just wait at a distance.”
40 Orcs stained with demonic energy.
A perfect opponent.
I don’t think they’ll get hurt that badly, but they’re not easy to beat.
“Where are the kids?”
“I’m waiting near there. If Nico-sama goes, will he be very happy?”
“Okay…. Because the kids are a little too affectionate….”
Even Lena is a bit too much…. Should I take a pill in advance and go….
“But these days, I listen to Lena very well. Wouldn’t Lena also restrain herself in front of the children?”
“Then I’m glad.”
Please, I hope so.
Because if the kids all attack at the same time like Lena, there won’t be any body left.
“Have you eliminated all other pursuers?”
This was the most important.
If someone sees this, that’s a bigger accident.
In that case, we might have to send the target alive.
“hehehehe, of course.”
“What is the scheduled time for the operation?”
“It’s dawn tomorrow. When he goes to bed, then.”
Good.
I’m sure he’s completely caught off guard by now.
You probably don’t even know that I’m targeting him.
“Let’s go.”
It was the start of the hunt.
******************************
“Everyone salute the owner!”
“Phil! Win!”
… Where did the Schlageter kids learn weird things?
How can these non-soldiers adjust their angles so well….
“Yes, sure win.”
Still, I have to adjust.
You must have had a hard time practicing for me.
“10 Members in total! 0 Outsiders! 10 Current members! No problem!”
“…Yes. Rest.”
“Relax!”
… Something serious.
Who really taught you that….
“hehehe master! How is it? Was it cool?”
“Lena. Don’t do that in the future.”
“Why?”
“If you’re not going to do it, just don’t do it.”
I’ve never been to the military, but seeing things like that gives me goosebumps.
“Huh…. I practiced a lot….”
“Yes, I had a hard time. Long time no see everyone! How are you?”
As soon as I finished my words, the guys who were standing still came running and hugged me.
It’s fortunate that I didn’t run into her at random like the Lena I saw last time, but I still feel holes in my body.
You can’t cut off all the horns….
After 30 minutes of standing, hugging and stroking one by one, I was finally released.
After that, we huddled together and chatted.
In the meantime, while we were chatting about how difficult the training was or how much I missed you, Ricard informed me of the start time.
“It is time to go.”
“It’s strange to say that.”
I thought for a moment that the grim reaper had come down.
Especially because he has a low voice.
“Ha ha ha ha. We will wait here.”
“I’ll use a signal flare if something goes wrong, you know?”
“If it’s red, call me alone, if it’s blue, ask for help, if it’s green, don’t look back and run away. Right?”
“Mr. Mercenary. Didn’t you forget this time?”
I forgot to shoot the red one last time, but everyone came.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a situation where there was something wrong, but it was cold.
“Come on. Hey guys. It is a departure.”
“Yes!!”
Schlageter The children and slowly approach him.
The distance is about 2 km.
If you run, you can reach it in an instant, but if you are easily caught, the meaning of surprise will only disappear.
In fact, it seems that there will be no problem even if there is no surprise attack, but it is best to minimize the damage.
“Master. You can see an orc about 700m ahead.”
Lena, who has the brightest night vision, found an orc.
“Is it contaminated?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes.”
“What is the number of seats?”
“I see about 4 of them. I am lying down.”
I think it’s hidden away from people’s eyes.
This is fine with us.
You can start the battle by reducing 4 monsters.
“Lena. After killing those 4 first with a surprise attack, you take command right after. Understand?”
“Yes!”
My role is to help the children not get too seriously hurt.
And at the end, all I have to do is cut off his head with my own hands.
“From now on, we call them by their code names. Deal with Eins, Zwei, Dry, and Peer, one at a time. From now on, follow Eins’ orders.”
After my words, the children move.
Four towards the orcs, the rest scattered.
When the children reached the orc, I unsealed them.
“As the owner, I give orders. Schlageter limited seal release. 600 Seconds time limit. The target is everyone except humans.”
The necklaces of the children glow red and the demon energy soars in an instant.
Yes. The guys are demons.
Our antipodes.
“Kyaaa!!!!”
Schlageter went on a rampage.
*********************
“You fight well.”
Any orc tainted with demonic energy still shows a level of combat power above that of a lieutenant.
Of course, there are flaws compared to the large species, but among the small and medium sized monsters, they are strong enough to compete for the top rank, so I thought it would not be easy, but it was a big mistake.
The Schlageter children who broke the seal were mighty.
To the point where it seems like it won’t even be practiced at this level.
Even though the number approached 60 instead of the expected 40, far from being pushed back, it was close to a massacre.
It only took 5 minutes.
Until the last orc is torn apart.
The four of them play with it cruelly like that.
“Jzuin! Chabata! Come!”
“Thank you, Zwelf.”
Zwelf, Schlageter’s youngest child.
I’m still a bit awkward with human speech.
Even though he’s the youngest, he’s not young, but he couldn’t properly learn how to follow his parents and live in the mountains for the rest of his life.
“Oops!”
“Yes, yes.”
That word means to stroke it because you did well.
I don’t know what words have changed so much.
I’m guessing it’s a memory with her mother who was still alive.
After patting them several times, the Schlageter children began to gather again.
“Wait, you guys. Five minutes.”
No one answered, but they listened to me and stood still.
When the seal is released, you can’t go against what I say.
I am Schlageter’s guardian.
In a way, it’s because I’m the demon king to them.
Since absolute obedience to superiors is a characteristic of demons, the stronger I am, the easier it is to restrain children.
If it’s a time like now when the demon’s characteristics are perfectly displayed due to the unsealing, the restraint is even stronger.
To put it simply, it means that you have suffered so much before, but if the children who are now in a state of restrictions are released at the same time, they will definitely have a hole in their body.
It’s not too late to be nice to her when she’s sealed again.
“Ugh….”
“How shall I deal with you?”
As I stroked Zwelf, I thought about what to do with this guy who was moaning in fainting.
Simply slit his throat, or make him suffer more and die.
