Chapter 248

Chapter 248. He did what he was told not to do (5) + That fortress is annoying! (1)

“Suck!!”

As the attack bounced off, Asha rallied once more.

At that moment, her spear pierced the shield.

“Unbelievable?!”

“It must have bounced off?!”

Articles who saw the process in real time could not hide their astonishment.

“What happened?”

“I don't know...

On the other hand, the nobles, who only noticed the outcome now, were just dazed, not knowing what had happened.

“Arel! What skills did she use!”

It was the knights who were excited.

The knights rush out and ask how Asha broke the shield just now.

I guess I can't contain my excitement.

In particular, the knights belonging to the advance party would be desperate for the secret as much as they were helpless.

“Is that skill something we can learn?”

Should I teach you or not?

I thought about whether I should bother him more, but then I quit.

“Teach me Asha.”

“Yeah... Actually, there's nothing special about it.”

When I passed the baton to Asha, she took the spear and was perplexed, wondering how to explain it.

“There is no need to be humble, Sir Pernil.

Surely your skills pierced that shield?”

“Or is it because it is spearmanship? Will it break if I use a window?”

The knights questioned Asha as if they had forgotten that they were in front of their lords.

“No, it doesn’t matter if it’s a sword, a blunt weapon, or a fist... maybe.”

In front of their expectant eyes, Asha was embarrassed.

Her personality made this situation a burden.

Because the secret I'm about to tell you is really trivial.

You may be disappointed when you hear it.

“It only stabbed me twice.”

“???? What?”

Someone couldn't stand it and burst into question.

So do others.

“So what does that mean?”

Unlike those who eat knives, nobles don't understand at all.

In front of everyone who was puzzled, Asha just explained the secret as if it were embarrassing.

“At first, stab with weak power. The same posture, the same trajectory, but I only stabbed it once more after making it stronger.”

That's why Asha was able to pierce the shield.

This is the way I taught her.

Are you really bored after hearing it?

As I silently shrugged my shoulders, Asha looked at me earnestly as if asking me to explain the principle.

In fact, she just did as she was told, because she doesn't know why.

It would be embarrassing to ask more questions like this.

It seems that it is difficult because it is gradually embarrassing.

“What happened?”

“When I look at it... well, that’s right. It must be a flaw in the technology applied to that shield.”

For now, I decided to explain it that way. T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

“The way I see it, that shield is an attack...

that is, a given impact. In other words, it seems to reflect the phenomenon of aggression back as it is.”

Mancheon Reverse Happiness is such an amazing skill that its creator can proudly boast of it.

It bounces off everything, regardless of the type or nature of the impulse.

It even deflects attacks from a blind spot if it is active.

It doesn't matter whether you have a posture or not.

It is a skill suitable for Murim, who often gets stabbed in the back on the road.

However, it had a fatal flaw that even the creator never thought of.

“The moment the attack is deflected, if the same attack is hit harder than the first attack in the same direction, it seems that it can't last and loses its effect.”

I obediently agreed.

“I don’t know if I can look down from a higher place.”

“You mean observation?”

As expected, the biggest problem is the means of observation... the presence or absence of eyes to look down from a high place.

“Then ask me one thing. If that eye problem is solved, can you do it?”

At my question, they were silent for a moment, and gave a hint of rolling their heads, and then answered.

“...it will be possible. No, I will make it possible.”

“okay? Is that possible?”

You say you can figure it out if you can only observe it.

When I laughed meaningfully, the nobles were perplexed, feeling that they did not know what to do.

“good night. I will solve that problem.”

“yes? What do you mean?”

“There's just a good way.”

That fort is irritating! (1) Nuaton Fortress, a border fortress of the Zelnian Castle Kingdom.

Brex, commander-in-chief of the fortress, who had been unable to sleep properly because he was afraid of being occupied by the Ernesian army, was finally able to put his mind at ease.

He was delighted with this victory and even brought out his favorite drink.

“I really lived thanks to you guys.”

“...I don't know how many times I've heard that already. I'm getting all embarrassed.”

In response to his praise for several days, the commander of the Holy Knights, sent to support the defense of the fortress, received the cup and responded with a humble smile.

“The protection of the fortress is the order of the saintess, and of course it is a task that must be done from the standpoint of protecting the castle. Wouldn’t that be something to be thankful for?”

“Don’t drink that. If you hadn't come, I don't know if I would have been able to protect this fortress by myself...

he said in a low voice.

It's because it's a bit difficult conversation for subordinates to hear.

No matter how hard it was, it wasn't something that would come out of the mouth of the commander-in-chief who took over the fortress.

“If you hadn’t come, I would have died here by now.”

To that extent, the offensive of the Ernesia Kingdom army was fierce.

The quality of each piece of equipment was excellent, so I couldn't be sure what would have happened if it had been a face-to-face battle rather than a sit-in in a fortress.

“Hehe, be at ease anyway. As long as we're here, we'll definitely be there for you.”

“I hope that will help.”

Brex chuckled and gulped down his drink with a genuinely relieved expression on his face.

“By the way, it’s the Holy Knights as expected.

I never thought you would be able to expel the Ernesia Kingdom army from afar...

“That's too much praise. It's just thanks to the shield of protection given by the saintess.”

“Ah... that shield.”

Brex remembered the shield Krenz had mentioned.

Not only that, but it is said that all the Paladins were given new equipment.

A new type of artifact developed under the guidance of the Holy Maiden of the Holy Land.

At first, he wondered if the shield alone would be able to overcome this disadvantageous situation, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut in front of its amazing effect.

“To deflect any attack. It's like a fairy tale told to children. I just can't believe it.”

However, the actual efficacy has already been clearly confirmed with both eyes.

Krenz shrugged proudly.

“Isn’t it surprising that it is a shield that exists in reality?”

“Hmm... what kind of principle is that?”

Brex couldn't hide his curiosity, his eyes shining like a child.

Seeing such amazing equipment, it was natural to be curious about the principle.

Actually, I wanted to ask about it from the beginning.

I just put up with it because of face.

“Can you tell me what principle it is?”

“To my shame, I don’t know. It's just a little bit of how to use it.”

“Uh... If so, it must be a miracle that the saintess made.”

“Wouldn’t it be natural?”

No one doubts at all even though I was given a shield that I have nothing to say even if I hear that it is suspicious.

It is because of trust in the person who gave it to me that I use it willingly and without question.

For them, Saint Nelvenia had the perception that she was a person who could do this for granted.

“As long as I have this shield, the fortress will never fall.”

Krenz declared confidently.

That moment.

A messenger rushed into the room where the two were conversing.
