priest, live again (5)
Golden fireflies were dancing mysteriously. A damp summer breeze blew.
-Whee
The Winite River flowed quietly.
Crying grasshoppers, the sound of horseshoes. Only the noise of high water plants brushing the soldiers diligently echoed through the night air.
The moon, which was getting smaller as it descended, was bright enough to move around.
It would have been better without the light, but the Imperial Army chose a quick attack instead of waiting.
It was because the emperor did not want a long war.
She only wanted a quick access to the royal capital and the capture of Berner Penetian.
– slurp, streak
– Tackle, cackle, cackle . . .
The Prophet was pensive.
The cheeks, which had been eating well for a while and gaining weight, became slimmer after the war.
Seeing the youthful face of the leader, the older prosecutors felt very sorry for them.
Not because of ignoring the abilities of the youth, but because he felt sorry for such a young being on the battlefield.
They didn’t know magic, so it wasn’t strange to react like that.
However, Modeste never had a single day of being ordinary.
The parents’ wish to give their children a new name over a good name was never fulfilled.
No one in my family came close to me. At one time it was unbearably painful.
So I believed that my strength was God’s calling.
He wanted to gain value even if he saw himself as a tool.
‘It’s not an ability I got because I wanted it. You, too, will have a lot of hardships and difficulties. Even if you don’t understand, can’t you respect me?’
“·················ogue.”
It was the first time I ever heard such a word.
Neither my family nor my nanny had ever comforted me so much.
However, the opponent I had pushed and warned against came out and pushed me forward.
There was not even the slightest hesitation in the purple eyes.
Modest pondered for a long time what had happened in the bar that day.
A soft voice came to mind often.
‘Why don’t you come over for some bread?’
‘There is no bread that our chef Laurence can’t bake. If you feel like it, you can come and play.’
. . . it really was. Laurence Condé was very capable and a man of great taste.
As if there was something else, she kept the Prophet’s snacks even when the owner was away.
So Modest went in and out of the cold palace blatantly.
All the workers there resembled someone and were gentle.

Occasionally, on days when I didn’t want to go home, the manager spent time eating there until dinner.
There was no such warmth in the Viscount of the Emperor.
Instead of making fun of the young prophet, the prince just smiled quietly.
‘If you think I’m funny, say so.’
‘No, it’s not like that… I think Bakari-kun is also very gentle.’
He smiled as he fed the prunes to Shinsu. The table was lined with colorful desserts.
‘You said I’m the one who distorts all revelation. But looking back, isn’t it kind of heartbreaking to give such a warning? I know how the other person will exploit that fact.’
‘··········.’
‘If prophecy is a profession, it would not be easy to trust people. Seeing how well he makes friends, I think he is a straight-headed person.’
‘··········.’
And the prince passed away.
The day he returned to the corpse, Modest once again became the best prophet of the Empire.
There were no more obstacles to looking forward.
There were no mistakes of blood spilling and loss of memory, and there were no accidents that distorted the revelation.
Everything went smoothly.
In return, he lived through the winter again.
The bread that Mr. Conde brought had no taste at all.
“Wow.”
sparkle. Modest woke up from his thoughts and looked up.
A senior knight leading the ranks raised one fist.
As a signal to him, the soldiers with spears rushed out.
Whoops, whoops! In an instant, torches lit up everywhere.
The entrance to the small village was clearly visible.
Hundreds of residents were trembling and prostrated in the square.
Judging by his old clothes and thin body, the situation was similar to other places.
It was already the third village.
“I, our honing village is about to surrender to the Great Lister Empire! I will not dare to fight you!”
A woman who appeared to be the representative exclaimed. The terrified voice cracked open.
All agricultural implements that could be used as weapons were piled up in the center of the village.
Empty wagons and wagons with open doors were also seen.
As the knight beckoned, the soldiers moved in unison and surrounded the villagers.
‘Ahhh!’ The blue-eyed child burst out crying.
The parents cried and comforted them together, but to no avail.
‘Shh, shh.’ A senior wizard hurriedly took out a stuffed toy and handed it to him. It was a familiar sequence.
Then the sobbing subsided.
Most of all, it was a moment when silence was needed.
“Start.”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Soldiers and low-ranking wizards, who received orders, were scattered.
Before formally accepting surrender, it was a procedure to search the village and confirm that there were no problems.
Modest looked up at Mount Trosart, which was approaching right in front of him.
From https://noblemtl.com
On a clear morning, he said that even in the northern border region, you can see a spectacular view of this place being dyed red.
I heard that the name of the Imperial Guard ‘Grand Rouge’ was also derived from this.
A big red mountain.
“There are no signs yet. According to the scouts, you can’t even see the beacon smoke.”
The report came again. It was the article I was talking about a while ago. Modest shook his head.
“It’s as expected.”
The blue-silver eyes gave off a calm light.
This was the first strategic point Lister encountered in Penethian territory.
In front, the Winite River flowed, and behind it, a steep mountain range continued, enveloping the far north and south.
When viewed from the interior of the new country, it was a topography that was nothing less than a natural fence.
Among them, this was the highest peak, and there was a wide, flat land in the valley.
It was the perfect area to build a field fortress and use it as a foothold.
Because I had to secure it to advance to the royal road—
“But there will be an ambush.”
From https://noblemtl.com
One of the Empire’s best swordsmen and Modest were accompanied.
At the prophet’s words, the knight grabbed the hilt.
“West, there is nothing wrong!”
“East is no different.”
After a quick search of the furniture, the soldiers scoured the well and even the barn.
So far, it has been a smooth flow.
After showing mercy to Bauterlot and waiting for the rumors to spread, the people of Trosarta surrendered to the Imperial Army as if they had waited.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, there were places where this wasn’t the case. There was strong opposition from Baron Crowe in the north.
The baron, who was a paladin, confronted directly, saying that the fief would not be taken away, and Caroline Rimless Marquess, who was occupying Bauterlot, responded.
The results should have come out by now. At least Mana Swordmaster would have won.
All those who encountered her greatsword were overwhelmed.
“Clean waterways and farmland!”
“Confirm!”
That was then.
“Wow!”
A roar erupted from the top of the mountain. Residents groaned and looked left and right.
His pale face was tinged with fear. Bright red flames were burning all over the mountain.
‘Sureung!’ A clear echo echoed from the center of the front row.
All the swordsmen, including him, drew their swords.
‘Heh heh! hee hee hee!’ The horses, sniffing the smell of the fight, swiftly stomped their feet and raised their heads.
The cutlery gleamed sharply in the moonlight.
Weapons that were not wiped with blood were often dark red.
– Hurricane-!
“Wow! Wow!”
“It’s a beacon! A beacon has risen to the top of the mountain!”
The shouts of the soldiers rained through the growing roar. It was exactly the same as Yeji.
The Viscount Trosart was like a gatekeeper who had been protecting this place for a long time.
Nevertheless, the social status was not high only because of the greed and luxury that have been passed down from generation to generation.
He couldn’t give up his estate.
“charge!”
“Wow!”
“Long live Lister!”
“Install magic stones at the foot of the mountain and keep them in check!”
With a senior swordsman and wizard at the forefront, the Imperial Army ran through the night without mercy.
Whoops! Thundering footsteps and shouts ripped the air apart.
The tidal wave of the army soon split into two streams and swirled around the villagers.
A group with a strong and reliable conductor was psychologically close to invincible.
Modest shuddered as he watched the back of his ally shooting out.
He stays here with some escorts, checking his foresight and protecting civilians—
– Doubt!
“ah.”
The Prophet hurriedly raised his head. His eyes flashed pure white at first glance.
why?
“Ahh······.”
My stomach churned. As a haze was rising, my eyes were dizzy.
Modest quickly took off his glasses and pressed his palms against his eyes.
And he moved his gaze again and again. He rolled his eyes like crazy and looked at the sky and the earth alternately.
‘aaah!’ In the vibration of heaven and earth, his revelations—
“······Oh My God.”
It was ‘distorted’. Suddenly, the future of Mount Trosart was nowhere to be seen.
Like the space where the prince lived and breathed.
“Now! Pull it!”
Then someone shouted from the direction of the foot of the mountain. His whole body was covered in thrilling goosebumps.
Modest looked at him with his mind.
I swear to God, it was a voice he knew.
*
So yes, the Viscount was ambush over the mountain!
“Long live Lister!”
– Doo doo doo doo…!
– Tick, tick, tick, tick!
The Imperial Army was approaching at a speed comparable to 5G. I clenched my teeth and grabbed the rope.
Under the mask, everyone showed signs of nervousness.
I also had a dry liver and a dry mouth. But I had to do it.
If he stayed still like this, the villagers might be suspicious that he and Viscount Trosart were on the same side.
He could be mistaken for surrendering to hide his ambush.
Even if the Imperial Army would believe this, it was difficult to estimate how vulgar the Viscount would be.
What can I expect from someone who turns away from those dying of starvation and fills my barn?
So we had to hit the player. It was time to show the determination that I had made over the past three days.
I screamed for my throat to burst.
“Now! Pull it!”
You must take the initiative, that is!
“One, two, three!”
Fino nodded loudly.
“Whoa!”
“Aww!”
Twenty villagers who said they were working hard were lying on the ropes.
As planned, we had to pull it out of the town square, but the line was so short that we made it all the way up to the shore.
Whoa!
“Wow!”
“Long live Penetian!”
“Hurray, Viscount ㅤ!”
As my arm was pulled out and pulled, the Viscount’s enlisted men rushed like a wave from the front.
There were threatening torches everywhere. damn!
“A little more! a little bit!”
“Aigoo!”
We really did our best.
Blood was standing on his forehead, and his face was flushed red.
Then I said, ‘Tak!’ and the line suddenly loosened. Everyone’s eyes were wide open. Success!
“Wow!”
“We did it, Titania!”
“Keep it up! Keep it up!”
“Good job! Now everyone go down! Come on!”
‘Be careful not to fall!’ I patted the happy residents on the back and shouted.
Everyone hurriedly ran down the mountain.
‘Easy profit….’ There was a faint, ominous sound from the distant mountain forehead.
I curled up and bit my twitching lips and quickly picked up my growth and ran.
Amidst the noise of spears clashing, the shouts of the soldiers, and the chirping of horses, all of them are distracted—
The staff kept rocking and got caught on branches. I wish this was a little smaller!
“Can’t you reduce your size?!”
I ran at full speed and raised my voice. Then something amazing happened!
-aaa
“Hey, don’t suddenly get smaller!”
I wrapped my palms around the growth that had become the size of a bookmark.
A soft light was emanating from him, like a phone screen.
No matter how much it was made from the roots of the World Tree, this ability is so great!
To the owner, are you really that good at it?
– Aww!
At the same time, there was a roaring sound from the Metburi. done!
-Shoot aaa
“Aww!”
-Chii profit…!
“Ugh, heh heh!”
Along with the sound of a large amount of water pouring, there were screams and screams from above.
Perhaps the occupant was also surprised.
Hopefully, they didn’t know that the rainwater storage tank of the shelter was going to go over.
You wouldn’t even know that it would extinguish the beacon!
“I ate one.”
You wouldn’t have imagined that fence posts would come pouring out of the collapsed storage!
“Aww!”
“aaah! Don’t step on it!”
“Sir! This is it, Viscount!”
A torn roar pierced his ears.
By now, a water-soaked wooden barrel must have been rolling upstairs.
No matter how many torches are lit, it’s not as bright as in broad daylight, so people who fall and slip will be everywhere.
As the beacon was extinguished, the beacon must have been a mess, and there were quite a few soldiers who were swept away by the water like a waterfall.
There will be a lot of people injured in the shed from the fall.
The ‘Ambush Hammering’ operation seemed to have been successful!
“The sin of making fun of grass, ugh!”
Turk! I was caught in a beak of stones and mercilessly tossed around. Gosh! Jung’s second family dies!
– Flutter, wiggle!
“Ahhh… Me again…”
after all. I touched the ground and raised my upper body.
Fortunately, it was hit by soft moss and the impact was not great.
Golden fireflies roared up and hovered around.
He seemed very surprised by me. I’m sorry uncle…
Ugh, I must have had a bruise on my back. Have you ever gone gold?
“My brother told me to take good care of my back.”
-Sureung!
At that moment, a jet-black blade struck my neck. I was frozen in that position like ice.
I couldn’t move any more, I couldn’t talk to myself in a good way.
It was an overly familiar sword. It would be a coincidence.
As I quickly lowered my eyes, I could see the front hooves of the black junma.
Sleek boots and dark red decorations stood out. For a moment I stopped breathing.
The sense that all the noise and light of the world was receding was clear.
All that’s left here is the fireflies and me, and…
“·················ogue.”
Nope. We can’t meet in a place like this.
Wasn’t a prosecutor called ‘rimless’ coming? Wasn’t it Sir Elizabeth?
“👌👌👌.”
The sharp tip of the knife pierced the skin. A thin, bright red blood stream ran down his throat.
I tried my best not to groan.
And instead of looking up at the master of the sword, he closed his eyes tightly.
At times, my whole body trembled. I was so afraid right now.
I couldn’t afford to face him.
It was cowardly, but my heart wasn’t ready. I was a real bad bastard.
“Put it away.”
“Yes, my lord!”
A cold low-pitched sound like a dagger cut through the air.
Whoops! The soldiers grabbed me with their rough hands. eyes lit up.
The magic sword of Mars had already been removed.
I staggered to my feet without saying a word.
Belatedly, I looked around like a madman.
“Hurry! You have to go down to the village so we can protect you! hurry!”
“Are you a Honing resident?”
“Yes Yes······.”
I didn’t even know what my answer was.
I had to turn my head halfway to find the man’s back. No more words came out.
It was as if he had lost his voice.
Above Charlemagne’s luxurious saddle, he saw the Crown Prince waving his cloak into the forest.
