Chapter 1038

Episode 1038. After speaking with Tobias Putokoa

in the future, the knight commander secretly met with his aide, Baron John Mitch.

“John, there’s work you need to do for Putokoa.”

“Just give me your name. I will risk my life to complete it.”

“It’s not worth risking your life, go to Jedo.”

“A system?”

“okay. Find the best assassination organization and make a request. The amount of the contract is set within the range that does not go against customs, but I think that it will be matched as requested. It’s a pity, because it’s this way.”

“...”

For a moment, Baron John Mitch’s face hardened.

The captain of the knights said that he would not risk his life, but there was nothing more dangerous than taking the assassination request of high-ranking aristocrats.

“Is this the order of the lord?”

“Do you think you have the money to entrust me with such a request?”

At the knight commander’s words, Baron John Mitch smiled bitterly.

“Who is the target?”

“Elio.”

“Are you referring to that Elio of the Marquis Bernardo?”

“Is there anyone else who uses that name in Hirhera?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“I entrust you with escorting Baron Todd Freeman Kelly Len Duke Williams back to Putokoa. Take them immediately and leave the garrison. I will leave it up to you to decide how far to accompany them.”

“Can the three of them make it to Putokoa on their own?”

“Is that important?”

The knight commander, Viscount Colacio Keeper, stared at Baron John Mitch with cold eyes.

Only then did Baron John Mitch realize that the knight commander did not care about the safety of the three.

‘They’re trying to use them to get me out of the Hirhera Garrison.’

After grasping the situation, he responded sternly.

“no. We will depart immediately.”

“Good idea. Remember, the sooner this happens, the better.”

It is a warning not to pay attention to the affairs of the three barons.

“yes.”

Baron John Mitch abandoned his lingering attachments to the three barons who had become obsolete.

Now is not the time to sympathize with the three.

If anything went wrong with the hitman, his life would be lost.

“By the way, Captain, don’t you have a power of attorney?”

“Have you ever seen an idiot write a power of attorney for a hitman?”

“If it’s false...”

“Think of Sir’s face as a power of attorney. It’s not the first time something like this has happened, so why are you so flustered? There’s nothing to be nervous about because it’s a system. It’s just a little bigger than the royal capital. It is also a place where people live.”

“Ah yes...”

Baron John Mitch was somewhat reluctant, but he couldn’t refute because the knight commander was right.

‘A power of attorney for a contract assassination.’

Even thinking about it sounds stupid.

If the assassination organization did their background investigation, they would find out at once that it was a request from the new lord.

On the day Alpha Company was deployed on a rift surveillance mission, Baron John Mitch left the garrison with three disfigured barons.

***

Around sundown.

Alpha Company Commander Baron Dennis Robin, who was looking around the rift, murmured.

“It is so quiet. Isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

When the company commander asked for his opinion, Elio nodded.

During the day, only one Demon Beast came through the rift.

Considering that an average of five or six came over a day until yesterday, this is a noticeable change.

Fabian, who was standing by the flag, interrupted.

“We’ve been beating them all this time, so maybe the seeds of the nearby witches have dried up?”

Baron Dennis Robin did not speak katabuta.

To say no, it was because the number of monsters captured by the garrison of Hirhera was considerable.

“But when the sun goes down, the demons don’t wander around, so I guess I can rest.”

Fabian trembled at Baron Dennis Robin’s words.

“There are also vampire flies, which are nocturnal beasts, right?”

Vampire flies are beasts the size of an adult adult.

Although it is said to be a fly, it could be killed instantly if its body or head was stung by its long, spear-like tentacles.

The Witchbeasts, who have no sharp countermeasures, are a swarm of vampire flies.

‘Sir Elio?’

Baron Dennis Robin looked around with anticipation.

It seemed like he would do something like when defeating the Demon Cyclops.

At that time, Elio was also busy cutting down the beast he had never seen before.

Once again, a blood-sucking fly fell on his sword.

Tuduk!

The corpses of bloodsucking flies piled up around him, but the number of bloodsucking flies was still too numerous to count.

Elio looked up at the night sky with irritated eyes.

Monsters that looked like a mixture of flies and mosquitoes filled Alpha Company.

The flapping of their wings is so loud that it is impossible to communicate without screaming.

‘If this continues, there will be many victims...’

The knights were fine, but the beast’s tentacles were fatal to the lower-ranking soldiers.

He quickly looked around.

It was dark, but the soldiers’ eyes turned to the sky, making it difficult to know who was doing what.

Elio, who raised his spirit, immediately spread the nine thousand years old law, carnivore-eating, heavenly thunder.

Kururureung–Banjjaeo-eok-!

Hundreds of lightning bolts suddenly fell from the night sky.

There were also lightning strikes on the snowfields, but most of them hit vampire flies floating in the air.

A hole was drilled in the dense swarm of bloodsucking flies.

The shouts of Baron Dennis Robin, inspired by him, shook Alpha Company.

“The bloodsucking flies are scattering! Cheer up a little more!”

When the battle had stabilized, the gunmen who had fled from within the formation fired magic bullets all at once.

Pupperpuppung-! Puff-!

With the addition of the musketeers, the hole widened.

When half of the swarm was dead, the bloodsucking flies flew higher.

wanting to run away

Excited knights brandished longswords in the air and shouted at the musketeers.

“Shoot!”

“Drop it!”

Pupperpuppung-! pop!

Dozens of vampire flies hit by magic bullets on their wings fell on top of the soldiers’ heads.

Knights and soldiers rushed like dogs and slaughtered the fallen vampire flies.

In the meantime, the vampire flies that flew high disappeared far along the ice wall.

When the demon disappeared, the area in front of the rift became as quiet as a lie.

If it weren’t for the corpses of blood-sucking flies strewn everywhere, it would be considered a dream.

Knights ran around and inspected the damage.

Elio walked slowly to where Alpha Company’s headquarters had gathered.

Alpha Company Commander, Baron Dennis Robin, said a word to Fabian, who was wiping the bodily fluids from his longsword.

“Fabian. Seeing your precognitive ability, you can become a shaman.”

Fabian scratched his head at the lieutenant company commander’s joke.

“sorry. I will be careful with my words.”

“no. Say whatever comes out of your mouth from now on. So prepare for it.”

‘what?’

Fabian looked up and examined the company commander’s complexion.

But just by looking at his expression, I couldn’t tell if he was joking or serious.

He was about to ask, ‘Are you serious?’ Elio came over.

“Did you take a lot of damage?”

Then Baron Dennis Robin corrected his posture and replied.

“no. There was little damage due to a lightning storm that occurred just in time. Leave the probation to me and rest.”

“Ah yes. Is Sir Fabian all right?”

“Me? Of course not. Don’t you know when Kalimbaum appears? I can’t stand a swarm of bloodsucking flies.”

Kalimbaum is a monster that appears day and night, and its danger is incomparable to a swarm of vampire flies.

The nickname of the kalimbaum that goes under the ground is starfish.

It is the strongest monster in the northern part that rises up from the ground and eats not only living things, but also metal.

At that moment, Baron Dennis Robin gritted his teeth and said,

“Fabian! How can you not like that mouth?”

“Huh! Yes, I will be careful.”

Seeing the company commander’s murderous gaze, Fabian shrugged.

If I had just asked ‘Are you serious?’, it would have been a big deal.
