Chapter 407

This time, Alt tried to react to the behavior that clearly crossed the line, but...

“The brigadier seems to be unable to react because he is struggling, so I’m stopping him instead, but please tease him well. You have already crossed the line many times.”

The wandering knight’s reaction was faster.

The smile on the wandering knight’s face just now disappeared in an instant. As if there was no such thing in the first place, his words continued while Raynal hesitated at the sudden change in expression.

“I admit that I went through a lot in the war against the demons, and I consider that sense of duty to be respectable, so I’m looking forward to it. Was the law even funny?”

“what...?”

“Externally, the commander-in-chief of this expedition is not the brigade commander, but Marshal Levien.”

Unlike Raynall, who seemed to be asking what he was talking about, Alt had to feel a sense of relief.

Damn, was this the justification for the report...!

“Your actions are a clear insult to the commander-in-chief, you bastard.”

As soon as the wandering knight had finished speaking, he put Raynal’s slap on his back. Even the regimental commanders, who were very nervous, reacted so quickly that Raynal, who was hit by the palm of his hand, fell backwards, but the wandering knight looked at Alt with an attitude that he no longer cared about it and said.

“Since you don’t seem to know, I’ll tell you this as well... I’m a wandering knight who participated in the war after talking directly to the former commander-in-chief, Marshal Levien. It means that I am standing here as an independent troop and commander, and of course, I am participating in the meeting with a legitimate voice that a commander can exercise.”

Looking at Raynal, who managed to stand up in the midst of being dumbfounded by the physical and mental shock, Eldmia declared as if chewing.

“To put it simply... the superiors are having a conversation, and a bastard who is not in the level is not to be arrogantly interfering.”

The next episode will be updated at 09:00 on November 12th.

At Eldmia’s declaration, Raynal looked at Alt with an expression that the world had collapsed... but

Alt had no choice but to close his eyes tightly and admit that his argument was ‘reasonable’.

There is nothing wrong with just looking at words. In fact, if nobles bring their own troops and participate in a war, there will be a conflict over who will lead the front and how to determine the hierarchy. It was a fact that Alt was well aware of, as it hadn’t been a day or two since he had experienced such heartbreaking aristocrats’ pride or power struggles.

However, it was by no means that Alt neglected these procedures because he was lazy.

There is such a thing as common sense in the world, and there is such a thing as a general response for self-preservation, isn’t it? In this case, of course, it is common sense that a person with no medical history and low status should take care of themselves and lower their posture.

No matter how much he received the Order of Protection, who would dare to expect that a mere wandering knight would assert his rights by proudly arguing sophistry to take advantage of loopholes in the law?

It was too cruel for him to call him incompetent just because he couldn’t prepare for a situation close to delusion.

“Eldmia. Stop.”

The Marquis of Levien, who had been watching the sudden flight with a calm gaze, slowly opened her mouth, and very naturally, everyone’s attention was drawn to her.

It was the first time since the meeting started, and Alt noticed this and looked at her with a hopeless heart.

“It’s not that I don’t trust Eldmia, but it’s war. I’d like to respect Brigadier Alt’s expertise and ask for his opinion as much as you do. Not to mention the generals under his command. Although it’s true that he was rude, anything more than this is excessive. do.”

And I had to feel like I was stabbed in the back of the head.

It is a play. As if he had tolerated Raynal’s first rudeness and moved on.

Looking at the movements that seemed to have been calculated, from the movements of the hands to the blinking of the eyes, Alt realized again that the person in front of him was a nobleman.

“Alt Brigade Commander? If successful, I think it will be a great benefit.”

“...That’s good. You have to pay for it.”

There was no way they would have taken such an action without any prior agreement. Did you foresee and prepare for this situation to unfold?

My head started to get complicated.

At the same time, it occurred to me that the Marquis of Levien might not be a mere marionette. Even if it wasn’t so, it was undeniable that a fist swung by a man who was considered a scarecrow whose only formality was to listen to the strategy and nodded was abruptly thrust into the pit of the stomach.

As long as you have the choice, it doesn’t matter if you ignore it altogether... but you will have a not very pleasant relationship with Marquis Levien. In that case, even if it failed, it would have been cheaper to join them for a while in a gamble that ended with only one person dying.

I didn’t expect that there would be a war of nerves here, but it is a common occurrence. Rather, it belongs to the very mild side. If this operation succeeds, the word siege can be overshadowed by the ability to break through the outer wall in one shot, so it is also a huge benefit.

“However, please understand that we cannot respond to any misfortune caused to Lord Ega.”

“Obvious words.”

The other regimental commanders unwittingly thought the same thing as they looked at the wandering knight, who was respectfully polite as if he had stabbed his hand and cursed at him.

The notoriety of being a mad squirrel, Ranje, a hypocrite maker, was nothing more than fake madness.

“Whoa, fuck. He was so fucking funny.”

Ranze, who muttered softly so that no one could hear, was of the same opinion as the regiment commanders this time.

◈

After a day that ended with the first battle that consumed only arrows and mana, dawn comes.

“You’re always calm.”

Before entering the operation, I checked myself again just in case, but there is no problem. The magical organs are in the best condition, and there is no problem in operating the magical powers.

“...is it really okay?”

However, unlike me, who was satisfied with my efforts, Ragnis was unable to hide his anxiety.

“I have a conscience too, so I can’t tell you not to worry.

It was the conclusion I came to after examining the battlefield using magic time throughout yesterday’s battle.

Worth it.

I don’t know what war is like, but I’ve been through one-to-many many times, and the level of the enemies is higher than before, but I didn’t go in alone and kill all the enemies anyway, so it didn’t really matter.

I just need to make the side door unable to open.

However, if he just blocked it like that, it would be obvious that he would later be praised as a normal hero by nobles who like politics, so he needed to act like a mad dog.

At first, I thought my voice would rise only after the story had progressed for a long time, but I was fortunate to have a hot-tempered friend. Now, at least, my military evaluation within the command will not be good, and the opinion of the elite brigade of the kingdom is plausible to those in power who want to check or use me. It will be a stack of excuses.

It was an excuse that Levien was a mad dog who would often run away even if he grabbed the leash.

Those who play tricks on getting such a guy to sit in the executive position can be counted on one hand, and those who want to take advantage of me and move Ragnis to use as a shield, even if they can’t, will think about it three more times before making a decision.

It may tickle the back of your head for a while, but it’s better than being swayed by power.

“Really, seriously, if I get seriously hurt with this, I’m sure I’ll die.”

“That’s a serious threat, Count.”

If it was just the two of us, we would smile and pat our heads. I decided to stroke Laika’s head instead.

“Stand by our Count and protect him, Laika.”

[Yeah!]

Knowing how strong a child is, it’s very reassuring. Because you did a good job raising it. After stroking it once, a familiar-looking soldier approached from in front of me.

“Sir Ega. We will start the operation soon.”

Ranze, one of the most insane people I’ve ever met in my life, said calmly, carrying a giant iron club that the soldiers called a squirrel’s tail on his shoulder. I responded with a light nod and followed her to the front line. . In the meantime, I passed the soldiers waiting in line naturally, and I relaxed my neck lightly in the midst of various eyes pouring out.

Rumors have already spread. There is more hostility than wonder.

“Can I be honest with you?”

I hadn’t even walked that many steps, but Ranjie suddenly opened his mouth, and what he wanted to say was so obvious that I burst out laughing and asked back without even realizing it.

“Am I crazy?”

“No. It’s like a dog.”

He was a nobleman with one more drink like this.

“I felt it yesterday, but you really act like there’s no turning back.”

“It’s normal. But well, it’s nice because it’s cool. If you succeed, you’re a hero, if you fail, you’re an idiot. If you bring in soldiers, they’ll call you an asshole

. Even after seeing it, Lange was calm. Well, the way he showed himself in the battle yesterday, and the fact that he was the only battalion commander at the command post where the regimental commanders gathered, but he gave away his military discipline, and it was clear that he was an unusual person in many ways.

“Can I ask you something too?”

“I see.”

“Are you wearing an arrow shield? Yesterday, I saw that you just walked around calmly even when arrows rained down on you.”

It wasn’t a duel, it was a war, so I didn’t bother to introduce myself. It was also an atmosphere that knew me anyway.

Those who live will live and those who will die will die. When I suddenly whistle, needles pierce the heads of the guys who can’t accept the situation and show their curiosity.

The demons shooting arrows from the wall were relatively small, so they couldn’t deal with it properly, and as five or six people died in an instant or fell under the wall, confusion and fear spread across the faces of the surviving soldiers. And the other half, who noticed that, began to run toward me with a distorted face.

“Check the battlefield! I’m the one...!”

-...listen!! It’s time to fuck!!

At the same time, hearing Lange’s shouts from the battlefield, announcing the charge of the battering rams,

I threw the ax with all my might at the half-horned man who seemed to be the commander. This

is the last episode that was registered.

The ax that was thrown by magic power was given to the appendage added this time, showing more destructive power than I thought, and flying to the half-sized one.

One of the demons who tried to block the axe had his arm cut off and the one who threw himself off had his head torn like a piece of paper.

It was obvious that this moment, with even a few more enemies holding bows, would be the most comfortable moment, so there was no time to hesitate. If at least one more person is incapacitated during that time, the chances of me escaping safely increase.

With that thought in mind, I cut off the arm of the poor demon who was about to swing it at me, grabbed it by the collar, set it up like a shield, and ran.

“Keep it off!”

“Damn it! Protect the wizards! Siege magic will attack you if you are swung! I’m in charge of that guy! Get back!”

I can hear the commander’s normal voice and the sound of other people dying from beyond the demonic shield, looking at the two arms that flew away in disbelief even while I was caught and swung around. did you avoid that? I threw it with confidence, but it’s a pity.

If he gave the order to block the battering ram squad like this, he would be a good swordsman, so this time he threw the demon shield he was holding with all his might and used his magic to retrieve the flying axe.

“Damn the door...

Fuck!” I could definitely feel the resistance heavier than the needle, but fortunately the ax didn’t get stuck and didn’t come out, and the ax that came back quickly just barely brushed the side of the half who was giving the order. Even in the dire situation, I looked at the ax that was back in my hand with a vain expression

. Seeing that the demons who were watching fell down after being hit by the demonic shield I threw and my ax was retrieved, I stopped even giving orders and the half that was about to run was hesitant because of the demons falling like that, so the time I earned was about 3 seconds. It was only an instant,

but It was enough time to cut off the mana directed at those who cast magic.

Even if it can’t cover the entire wide castle wall, it can cover my surroundings.

“What, magic?!”

“Ah, no, no!! ”

Just by roughly cutting off the visible magic powers, the eyes of the demons, who are presumed to be wizards, widen as if they were going to tear, and the half-face that ran towards me looked at me with a strange gaze as I was slicing in the air, and the screams that erupted from all directions gave me reasonable doubt. “What are you looking at?”

I

threw the ax at that guy once more and jumped off the roof of the nearest building, and as soon as I jumped off the roof of the nearest building, my allies’ magic rained down on the castle wall.

“...!!”

Over my head It seemed like I could hear his cry,

but it was hidden by the sound of explosions and ruptures. As soon as I landed on top, the demon army waiting below reacted and started screaming.

However, the attack did not follow. I just wanted to know what this was going on. After checking

their reaction, I stood on the roof instead of stopping. He jumped down once more and fired all the needles except for the needles towards the place where the most soldiers were concentrated.

-Phiik !

It’s a bonus to be able to

do

it

. The proof is the Demon Lord’s army, who is keeping his mouth open without even reacting properly while watching the ax come back from above with my hand floating in the air right now.

It seems that he expected to react to the series of disturbances from above and prepare for an unexpected attack, but he did not expect that it would be just one person, so it was visible that the reaction was delayed.

“Bar, shield...”

The one who made the most rational and quickest judgment has become a victim of the ax I wielded as I landed. Is there a gap between the troops defending the castle and the troops penetrating the front line? There was a significant difference even compared to the demons who blocked my attack even while riding the flying dragon.

“What is this...”

Think about what those guys are thinking when they see the enemy stepping on their colleague who has turned to mush in an instant in front of their eyes. At first, you will be puzzled and embarrassed, and if you have a comradeship, wouldn’t you be angry? Those who are called veterans would have swung their weapons right away, but fortunately, they are not around me right now, so that’s probably the case.

Then, at least until their reaction leads to anger, I have the advantage. After making that decision, I threw an ax at the far-away side door and ran after it.

“Don’t stop! His target is the castle gate!!”

That alone adds to the confusion, and those with courage instinctively back away from me. Someone who came to his senses quickly shouted, but to them, the existence of me now did not simply cross the wall and enter inside, but ‘not only did I cross the wall in an unknown way, but also used an unknown method to destroy one side of the wall and then run away. It’s the down enemy’.

Even though the demons sent to the special operation are weaker than the demons on the front line when it comes to strength and weakness, they have superior loyalty, so they can be put into secret missions. As you can see, there is no way that all the Demon Lords have the sense of duty and the pulpit to tackle a successful lunatic that they couldn’t even dare to do.

If that were the case, the human race would have been pushed to the ends of the earth.

“Uh, how can I stop that!”

As I expected, if there were 30 demons spread around me, less than 8 came running towards me. Only those with magical powers that aren’t too threatening. Without countering the attack, he was able to escape the clumsy encirclement and head for the side door just by attempting double acceleration.

The moment when he is about to enter the check by blowing a needle toward the side gate troops who are still struggling to make a proper decision.

A loud shout from the demon commander came from above.

“Eldmiaaa!!!”

What passed through my mind at that moment was his terrifyingly accurate javelin skill.

As soon as I thought that there was no way that a guy with that kind of accuracy would jump down without any countermeasures, I automatically raised my head and my legs stopped to respond to his attack.

“He’s pretty crazy too.”

There, with the walls still burning and the sky behind, there was a half-faced glaring at me as he jumped down with a huge boulder.

◈

I don’t know what kind of trick they did, but Eldmia interfered with the magicians’ spell interference. The magic attack that the human wizards attempted hit the top of the castle faster than they were sure of that.

There was no time to calm down. The commander, who was caught up in the explosion and briefly lost his consciousness, came back, and all he could think of was the need to stop Eldmia. It was close to an action taken instinctively as a result of focusing on ‘blocking’ that he raised his mana with a desperate resolution to pick up a fragment the size of his body.

I heard tinnitus and forced my unbalanced body to look down at the city.

If you keep going like this, that devil-like guy will reach the castle gate. At the same time as he thought, the commander jumped off the wall.

“Eldmia!!”

Anger at the guy who suddenly appeared and ruined everything, lamenting at himself for not being able to properly stop him, and annoyed shouts at his subordinates who were frightened by him and couldn’t deal with it properly, made him stop running and raise his head. Realizing that his gaze contained the emotion of seeing all the madmen, the commander frowned without hesitation and swung the fragment of the wall he was holding.

“You fucking son of a bitch!!”

I wish she would have been crushed to death, but Eldmia easily avoided the fragments she threw. He didn’t even hurriedly avoid it, he even showed meticulousness in swinging his sword while flinging his body toward the side with the fewest soldiers.

Because he jumped without any countermeasures, as soon as he fell to the ground, a terrible shock ran through his joints, but the commander did not regret his decision.

“The gates will not be reached!”

Trouble arises when he reaches the gates. I don’t know what the hell it is, but it definitely will be. The commander stood up and faced Eldmia, then pulled out the sword he was wearing around his waist.

However, Eldmia only tilted her head at her cry, sending a strange look as if she was going to see all the oddballs.

“...Do you understand why I was trying to reach the gate?”

“What is that...”

Of course, I can’t open the gates or move the siege tower blocking troops...

The commander, who was wandering between the aftereffects of the explosion and the pain that came up through his lower body, exclaimed as he looked back urgently at the belated realization.

“Jaw, open the side door! The siege weight is coming!”

Supporting Eldmia to destroy the gate by destroying the gate and blocking the side gate troops.

In terms of the possibility, of course the latter was higher, but the cost of forgetting the fact so naturally was great.

As soon as the warriors with shields were about to open the side gates and leave, the first wooden gate was destroyed and a battering ram appeared.

And as the siege weight hit the secondary gate made of iron bars, a huge explosion occurred at the same time.

This is the last round registered
