Chapter 71 – Storm Ruben (1)
The group of orcs who had attacked Kepple Village were swept away in an instant.
There were a huge number of orcs, almost 1,000, but
Ruben’s soldiers literally swept away the orcs like autumn leaves.
The soldiers who fought the demon beasts every single day in the dark forest.
The Witchbeast, which was stained with madness due to Over Drive, was never comparable to monsters.
Even this time, all the soldiers were able to use Auras while learning how to practice A-class Auras.
In addition, the soldiers who have become more than apprentice knights with a tremendous growth buff.
“Kwyyyyyyyyyyy!!!”
I wouldn’t know if they were ordinary soldiers.
No matter how many 1,000 okra it was, it was a matter of seconds to be swept away.
Kepple Village found stability like that.
“thank you. thank you···.”
“I have received a favor that cannot be repaid. Really… thank you very much.”
“aaang.”
The people of Kepple Village always thanked Xian and Ruben’s soldiers.
Among them, there was one unique person.
Did you say your name was Chico?
I heard that they are the vigilantes of Kepple Village…
“thank you! Thank you so much for saving people!”
Chico thanked Xian as if he would break his back.
“it’s okay. I didn’t do it alone.”
Sian waved his hand and waved his hand in embarrassment.
Even so, Chico continued to bow down.
“no! All the other nobles abandoned us… If it wasn’t for the lord, we would all be dead! thank you!”
I felt like I was going to break my back by folding and blooming endlessly.
Sian shook his head and slipped out of his seat.
And then just one corner.
Kwajik Puck.
I shouted at Duras who was dismembering the corpses of the Orcs.
“Duras. Dismantling work not done right? Do you know how many corpses you ate?”
Then, Douras startled, surprised and replied.
“I didn’t know you were so weak…”
“Are witches and monsters the same? That’s why I told you not to use it.”
“Unbeknownst to me, I got excited…”
“Work as much as the number of horses you blew up. Oh, I use it for an aura when I’m working.”
Duras grinned and picked up an orc.
Right then.
“Younglord. Do I have to come all the way here to do this?”
Amelia came up next to Xian and asked.
Xian said as if he was talking about something.
“huh? Then throw it away?”
“I don’t mean that…”
Amelia didn’t know how to respond to this.
“That is all money. I guess I’ll come to the West too. Wouldn’t it be better to dismantle and sell it right away?”
“what···.”
It did.
I guess I just went up west.
If you supply and sell the corpse at the site, you can sell it right away.
‘But isn’t that a common method used when plundering private houses?’
So is this supposed to be looting monsters?
Come to think of it, it seems that way!
What do you mean by plundering monsters!!
I’ve been to many ups and downs, but I’ve never heard of such a thing!
I never heard of it even when I was in the Brahe family!
Amelia looked at Xian with bewildered eyes.
No, does this man really see everything in the world as money?
Why is this kind of person not a merchant, but a lord?
If he had walked the path of a merchant in the first place, he would have beaten the entire continent as well as the empire with money?
ah!
Maybe we are in that process right now.
Amelia shook her head.
And I didn’t ask any more about it.
As a result of our long experience with Xian.
Because I knew it would be easier to just give up on my thoughts.
Amelia let out a small sigh and asked Xian.
“by the way. What are you doing?
“huh? what?”
At Xian’s question, Amelia pointed to one side with her finger.
None other than the people of Kepple Village.
On the other hand, the villagers eat food.
He was treating the wounded with various treatment items.
“Those items. You said to free the villagers of the items you brought up.”
“Oh that.”
Then Xian nodded and replied.
“You did a great job. And looking at it, it seems that the lord of Kepple Village has turned away. There is no one to take care of, so we have to take care of it too.”
“ah···.”
Amelia let out a small exclamation.
Anyway…
Amelia smiled lightly.
To be honest, Xian’s actions really made me feel like someone crazy about gold.
He seemed like a person who would do anything for gold.
But now.
No, not just now, but the cyan that Amelia had seen and felt was not like that.
A person who thinks more deeply and warmly than anyone else.
Even all those actions obsessed with gold are not for the sake of one’s own people after all.
There wasn’t much for Xi’an himself.
No, not a lot, but very little.
Amelia looked at Xian quietly.
It looks different again today.
Because of that appearance, Amelia hates Xian—.
“And those aren’t free.”
“····················· yes?”
Amelia’s head is temporarily out of order.
Isn’t it free…?
What do you mean?
No, so you mean you want to get paid for those items?
So you mean you’re selling to the villagers?
Now they barely survived the orcs.
Let alone the ability to pay, the way to live right now would be bleak.
“Sir, you’re thinking of using them as slaves…!”
Amelia screamed in fright.
Then Sian looked at Amelia with strange eyes and said.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“You didn’t mean to enslave people who couldn’t pay, did you? In a way that tells you to fill it with your body…”
“What are you really talking about? Is it broken again?”
Xian continued with a strange expression.
“I’m not going to get the price for the goods from those people. I’m going to get it from His Highness the Crown Prince, so loosen it up.”
“yes yes? Your Highness the Crown Prince?”
Why did the prince suddenly appear here?
“To be exact, he’ll rip a lot out of the Western nobility. It’s not free anyway. Keep track of your expense lists. Couldn’t you have recorded it?”
Xian opened her eyes wide and asked.
Amelia responded with a wave of her hand.
“no. He told me to write it down, so I recorded everything.”
“That’s it.”
Xian shook his head.
Amelia really wanted something.
And just then.
“This, this, this, what is this…!”
A strange voice came from somewhere.
#
Alex couldn’t believe the scene right in front of him.
The leader of the 7th Knights of the Royal Knights, Alex.
As a top-notch expert, Alex was able to take pride in having done and experienced many things in the past.
But now Alex couldn’t believe the sight in front of him.
A group of Orcs that had been annihilated.
Almost 1,000 orcs were really destroyed.
Thanks to this, there were not many damages to the villagers.
No, not a lot, but almost none.
To be honest, Alex didn’t believe the word that the orc group had been destroyed.
Orcs weren’t monsters that were easy to deal with.
That’s why 1,000 Orcs was really not an easy number to handle.
At least the same number of regular soldiers.
Or, there had to be at least one knight corps to be able to subdue without problems.
But I haven’t heard of such troops being moved.
Alex ran to Kepple Village in one month to find out the truth.
however.
“How can this…”
A group of orcs were completely destroyed before Alex’s eyes.
There was something else that even puzzled Alex more.
To be precise, it could be seen that this sight now embarrassed Alex.
“Hey, Duras. Is the disassembly finished?”
“Don’t tell me… because there is still a long way to go.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! You should have done that in moderation.”
Kwajik. puck.
Perseok.
Soldiers doing the dismantling work.
The soldiers were grooming the annihilated hordes of Orcs!
“·······”
Alex was momentarily at a loss for words.
what though
Well… it could have been.
Of course, it was an unfamiliar sight even for Alex, who had gone through all of the prenatal battles.
It could be, though.
The corpses of the monsters were used to make various equipment and had considerable value.
But the problem wasn’t that.
What makes Alex’s eyes suspicious now?
It was none other than the sword used by the soldiers for disassembly.
A sword that looks unusual even at first glance.
To be honest, it looked better than the swords used by the members of the Royal Knights.
A single soldier uses a better sword than knights?
Even better than the Royal Knights, who are considered to be the 1st Knights of the Empire?
“what···.”
Alex couldn’t believe it.
I could understand it nonetheless.
I could understand this far.
Did you say it was a territory called Ruben?
It seems that there are excellent craftsmen there who are not good at skills.
It seems that there are overflowing with craftsmen like that, which are hard to find in most territories.
That’s why it’s possible to arm all the soldiers and stay.
I could somehow understand this.
But now, the energy shimmering in the swords of the soldiers.
“… to come?”
It was an auror.
It was a definite error.
That’s coming, but Alex could have staked the position of general manager of the Royal Knights.
That one soldier over there.
The thing about trimming orcs.
It was an obvious aura!
“That, that, that thing…!”
Alex couldn’t understand from here.
I couldn’t understand!
Right then.
“Are you a knight belonging to the Royal Knights?”
I heard someone calling Alex.
the place you looked at.
A blonde haired man was standing there.
A man who looks like an aristocrat even at first glance.
However, the somewhat bewildered atmosphere made me slightly doubt whether he was really an aristocrat.
“That’s right…”
At the words of Alex who nodded, the man said.
“Nice to meet you. I am Xian, the lord of Ruben.”
“draft···? If it’s Xi’an…”
Alex tilted his head for a moment.
He seemed to remember the name Xian.
“Are you referring to Xian Ellandour?”
And there was no word called Elandur.
As expected, Alex recognized Xian.
“Why is Xian Ellandur here…?”
“I came not to Elandur, but to the lord of Ruben. So just call me Xian.”
Isn’t that what Alex is? I wanted to, but I didn’t bother to ask.
“How did the lord of Leuven come to the West?”
“I came to support because the west was dangerous. There was also a request from His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Your Highness’s request?”
Alex asked, opening his eyes in surprise.
It seemed that he hadn’t heard anything from Conrad.
There was nothing to blame for Xian’s quick movement.
Xian gave Alex a very brief explanation of the circumstances of coming to the West.
Literally very briefly.
The prince asked for it individually, and he only informed me of it.
“Huh, Your Highness said he would provide an alternative right away, but I didn’t expect it to be something like this…”
Alex let out a small exclamation and looked around calmly.
1,000 annihilated Orcs and soldiers working with Auras.
It was still an incredible landscape.
“Hmm…”
However, Alex’s expression did not straighten.
I pretended not to be Alex, but hid it.
Xian could see a slight ‘disappointment’ in Alex’s eyes for a moment.
And that’s one reason.
He seemed to think that Ruben’s soldiers alone were not enough to break the current situation in the west.
Sian asked Alex.
“Is the situation in the west very serious?”
“… it’s very serious.”
Alex opened his mouth after a moment of thought.
“As you may have heard from Your Highness, you know that unprecedented monsters are rampant in the West. It’s never been poured this far, but…”
“Did you find out why?”
Alex gently shook his head.
“I don’t know yet.”
“You mean yet?”
“It must be accurate that they are not even trying to find out.”
Before long, Alex started a long story.
Briefly, there is a place to guess.
Kusla Mountains located in the west none other than.
So Alex said that he wanted to investigate the Kusla Mountains first.
however.
“Until now, we have not been able to proceed with the investigation.”
The reason was because there were too many monsters in the Kuslar Mountains.
Because of that, the situation is not easy to approach.
However, the reason why he couldn’t investigate wasn’t just because there were too many monsters.
“To investigate the Kusla Mountains, we must commit all of the 7th Knights. Because I can’t easily handle that many monsters. however···.”
Alex said, clenching his fists.
“If we are left out, there will be no one to stop the monsters sweeping the West.”
Monsters covering all over the West.
When the Royal Knights fell out, there was no one to stop them.
“There are nobles in the west, aren’t they?”
“If you’re talking about people who are anxious to take care of themselves, get rid of it.”
Alex groaned and groaned.
Xian didn’t ask any more about him.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just looking at Kepple Village now, I felt like I knew roughly what the situation was like.
In the end, in order to solve the current situation in the West, we must first find out why monsters are rampant.
Incidents keep popping up all over the place.
There is not enough manpower to rectify.
The situation in the West is only getting worse.
“I want to proceed with the investigation, but I can’t move hastily.”
what is the case resolution?
It hadn’t even started at all.
“hmm···.”
Xian thought for a moment.
I don’t think it was this far when I heard from Conrad.
The situation in the West was worse than expected.
Apparently, Conrad didn’t even know the situation in the west.
If I knew something this serious, I wouldn’t have asked Xian.
Because I would have dispatched more Royal Knights.
‘Could it be that the nobles of the West are covering their eyes?’
It could have been.
Now all the nobles of the West have locked their doors.
Honestly, I thought only the lord of Kepple Village was like that.
From what I’ve heard, most nobles in the west seemed to be like that.
And if the crown prince knew this, it would be clear that only their position would be in trouble.
So it seems that the situation in the West has been minimized as much as possible…
Somehow, it was a little strange that Alex didn’t know that Xian was coming.
It was literally blindfolded and aungin.
The problem was that the people of the West were bearing all the damage.
It has always been like this.
Those who are sacrificed first have always been determined.
share of the powerless and weak.
“hmm···.”
At first, I didn’t have a big idea.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just sell Ruben’s stuff to earn gold.
Again, the first step to building an overwhelming justification within half a year.
Xian came to the West with a light but not light heart.
But now.
It seems that I need to go a little more serious.
“Could you please… help us, no, the people of the West?”
Alex asked Xian for a favor.
Alex with a somewhat dark expression.
Xian quickly thought about it and said to Alex.
Let me guess, this is caused by Nurbia or the other demon of the seven sins.
