Rangers who were patrolling the mountains began to return to the winter castle once or twice.
“The atmosphere in the mountains is unusual. It's too quiet. ”
“The little beasts lie flat in the bushes, and the great beasts do not come out of my den. The monsters don't appear to have been bugged, so it seems that the whole mountain range has been terrified of something. ”
And they told me about the strange atmosphere that they were sensing in the mountains.
“To put it bluntly, it's like a storm. ”
The Veteran Rangers who survived the war with Warlord expressed their concern, so whatever really happened would burst.
It was only a matter of not knowing what it was.
“There's never been a case like this. ”
Even when the Orcs pushed down tens of thousands of troops, the mountain atmosphere was not like this. I could not find a similar case, even if I looked at the records of the Sunbae.
“It would be nice if you could preach to a prince like this. ”
When no one knew the existence of the Warlord, only one prince warned of the danger. Maybe the prince didn't know what was going on in the mountains.
However, the prince was told to reinforce patrols because something unusual was going on beyond the mountain range, so he was thrown into a room and did not reveal a burglary.
Even if I went to the prince's room in frustration, I could only hear the message from those standing at the door, saying, "Please come back."
“Why now? ”
As a knight, entering Gobi meant that Zhejiang had made progress, so there was something to celebrate. However, it was a time of great nervousness, because it was a time of celebration.
“Work is just punishment. ”
One time, he said to the soldier who was beside him to summon the commanders of each unit.
The faces of the commanders gathered in one place were all hardened without you or anything else to do. The sensitivity in the mountains seems to have known that the atmosphere is not normal.
They've lived in front of the mountains where monsters roam for the rest of their lives, and if they didn't feel the tide, that was even weirder.
By the way,
“Your Highness...? ”
“If you are the First Prince...”
The first words of the commander who lived with those monsters for the rest of his life were about the prince.
Where is the First Prince? If you are the First Prince, you may know something about this. Vincent, who was listening to their conversation, felt like he was getting one back.
He was projected into the image of the commanders looking for the First Prince.
I was awake.
This should not be the case.
Protecting the North was the destiny of the Valrhad men, not the duty of a prince who failed to do so.
Vincent takes a deep breath and takes a deep breath.
Bang!
I smashed down the table like it was shattered.
“Since when? ”
Then I rebuked them.
“Valrhad's men just stood by and waited for someone to finish the job! ”
The cerebral cortex opened their eyes. I didn't know English in my sudden anger, but I quickly remembered the shame on their face, which was far away.
“What is the symbol of Balahard! ”
“Three-layer shield! ”
“What does a three-layer shield mean! ”
“It's courage, wisdom and mission! ”
Bang!
Vincent lowers the table again.
“Do you think there is one of them now? ”
Cerebrae of the Winter Castle stood up and folded their waists.
“Sorry!”
“What you have to do now is not just apologize! ”
“I know! ”
“I know, but what are you stumbling upon! ”
The men of Winter Castle took their seats.
“Widen the Rangers' perimeter further northeast...”
“By augmenting the long-range patrol...”
Then I started pouring out measures.
Then Vincent's face, which was hardened like a stone, loosened a little.
* *
Although he seemed awkward for a while, he was never incompetent with the commanders of the Winter Castle.
The atmosphere of the somewhat cluttered winter castle was instantly cleared.
Above the walls, the number of rangers has doubled, and the rangers on short-range patrol duties enter the gates several times a day. Even the Black Horsemen who had begun the quest went around the border of the mountain range to prepare for the situation.
That's the boundary of the exhibition.
The dwarves who were looking at it on the wall were amazed.
"Very impressive. Soldiers here take war so naturally. ”
Vincent looks up to the Dwarf's compliments.
“If the old man had only come last winter, he would have seen ten times as fast. ”
In the last war, most of the soldiers who were deployed on the wall were recruits.
Although the armament was still in place, the pitch contained in it was still insufficient to be called an artillery.
“Have the Rangers crossed the mountain range yet! ”
The Ranger squadron leader shakes his head in Vincent's voice.
Over twenty thousand rangers left to look beyond the mountains. They were also elite rangers, mostly made up of veterans. Even when the monsters were overflowing in the mountains, they also returned from the mission.
But none of them came back.
That was never a good sign.
“What the hell is out there...”
His gaze looked beyond the rugged blade range. The mountains and mountains were white and the sky was blue, but only the sky was heavy gray.
“Give me a few rangers and I'll come see you. ”
A troubled young man came to him. Eli Confucius, Bernardo.
“You?”
“Give me some guidance. I'll be quick to go with my kids. ”
The hoarse attitude was not convincing. I haven't had the confidence to go abruptly since I've been imprisoned.
“Oh, well. You can trust me. ”
Vincent laughs in vain as if the mayor's handkerchief were ripping off the mission.
However, when I first came, there were even noble corners, and after the war, this became a problem.
“I'm sure you belong to the First Prince. ”
I asked him if he should be allowed to enter, and he confronted Eli with a loud voice.
“Since when did you ask such a question? ”
Vincent nods unwittingly and says nothing wrong.
“Jorden!”
“Here you are, Jorden! ”
The Ranger Jorden on the other side of the wall jumps.
“Let your platoon support them. ”
“I see... but are you a long-range patrol? ”
Vincent nods, and Jorden bows.
Damn, I can't see you sticking to the castle. How long have you been here since you finished your mission? I don't die in the mountains like this.
Vincent laughed at the complainant who was coming to the malloc.
“When I get back safely from my mission this time, I'll give you a special four-week vacation. ”
“I will return from my mission without any error! ”
Jorden, who quickly changed his attitude and became a traitor, jumped over the wall and called my men.
“Mission!”
“Again? Cho, wasn't it on the top line? ”
“Have all the other Ranger bastards gone out and searched? It's just us all the time. ”
“Shut up, you bastards! All you have to do is come back safely and get ready for a month off! ”
Seeing Jorden confronting my platoon members, he said Eli was suspicious.
“I don't trust Young. ”
Vincent looks up and down at Eli Confucius.
Neither he nor he was hot.
* *
Early the next morning, 17 platoon rangers led by Jordan and ten knight cadets led by Bernardo Eli left the fort.
It was one day a week after the prince was thrown into a room and started issuing passports.
Then again three days later, 17 Ranger Squadron and Eli Confucius, who had left for the mountains, appeared under the mountains.
“Why did you come back so early? ”
A few snowy rangers look at them and raise their heads.
It should have taken at least ten more days to look beyond the mountains and come back to normal.
“Huh? Huh? Looks like you're being chased. ”
Someone who was looking at Eli Confucius' group said.
It seemed too urgent to see the men rushing out of the mountains to die terribly.
"Behind you!"
At that time someone shouted.
Once the walls were filled, the crowded rangers followed the sound and saw the back of the Eli Confucius group.
All sorts of monsters, including Orcs, Goblins, Kobolts, Nols, and Dyrwolves, poured out from the mouth of the Bernardo Mountains.
“Crazy! There's a troll! ”
Among the monsters of all kinds blown up in an instant, even the Trolls that dominate the mountains are the top predators.
“Emergency! All rangers to their positions! ”
The sound of the trumpet sounded throughout the wall at the same time as the order of the Wall Guard Commander.
Booooooooooooooooooo!
Immediately, it became noisy in the quiet winter castle.
The rangers hold their bows and iron brains and stare at the snowfield.
Eli's accomplice and 17 Rangers were running to death. Hanging a bunch of monsters on the buttocks.
Kung!
The Foot Dyer Wolfs follow behind Bernardo's group.
“Faster! Faster!”
Rangers cheered with one heart. But no matter how fast humans try, they can't be faster than four-footed animals.
“Huh? Huh! ”
The longest Ranger in the Humi is finally catching up with Dyr Wolf.
“Ta, catching up, eh? ”
However, even now, Dyr Wolf, who seemed to be biting his jaw, passed through the ranger as if he were just grabbing it.
It wasn't just Dyr Wolf.
If you're a Winter Castle Ranger, you pass through the sleepy Oakmaster Rangers, and you pass through the cranky Troll-mager Rangers and Eli Confucius.
“What is this...”
The rangers are completely frozen.
In their eyes, I saw rangers and knight cadets rushing to death mixed with monsters.
The way humans and monsters run well, is there another such precious sight in the world?
“Ballerhard Ranger! ”
A voice filled with manna resounded over the wall.
“Stand by to live in protest! ”
The new lord lifts up his sword, points to the snowfield and pours out instructions.
“As soon as the Knight Cadets and Rangers are within range, we will shoot the monsters around them first! ”
The rangers, who were watching the monsters sprint with their dumb faces, hurriedly grabbed their bows and iron brains and flew.
“Black Horseman! Break through the monsters and save your allies! ”
A black horsemen ran past the gate.
“Shoot!"
Vincent's orders fell the moment the Spearman ran away.
And the arrow that escaped the demonstration fell over the monsters across the void.
“That's good!”
The cavalry commander, Queon Richheim, grabs the spear with a buzzing face.
The Spearman turns to the right and turns the horse's head to the left again after a short run. After a modest curve, the sides of the monsters are jammed.
“The Leading Giant! ”
Dozens of appetizers on the manna become a wedge, tearing apart the sides of the monster pack.
Queens frown.
Heavily armed cavalries were wary of monsters. But the monsters before my eyes were different. I didn't even notice the sound of the horseshoes shaking the axes and the strength of the bowmen. The monsters just ran in front of me.
I'll think about it later.
Looking at the monsters, I caught sight of the knight cadets and rangers running around.
“Grab each other and get out of here! ”
“Ha!”
I saw Earl Eli's accent in front of me.
“Damn it! I'm not a driver! What a hypocritical day! I put a lot of honey on my body! If you go out, the monster will be rich! ”
Queon lowers his stance when he sees Eli Confucius who can't stop complaining even if his breath reaches the tip of his jaw.
“Strengthen your body! ”
Queon leans like an acrobat and catches Earl Eli's eldest son and puts it on his waist.
“Now mind your own business! Go back to the Lord for more details! ”
Bernardo Eli gasps and shouts in a cheerful Queon's words.
“These monsters are not the problem! ”
“What?”
“Those guys back there are the real problem! ”
Bernardo Eli's finger points to the mountains behind him.
“There's a bunch of people in there holding her identity card! ”
