Chapter 209

[ Episode 209. Variables and Crisis]

The sparring with Honen was unexpectedly canceled.

Following Honen on the way to the gymnasium, a knight from the Marquis family we met called to us with an urgent voice.

“ah! Sir Cromwell! It just went well.”

“What are you doing?”

“Urgent news has arrived. I received a call from Borgien asking for support.”

in Borgijen?

It was a crisis that was clearly prevented safely.

Support should have arrived by now, so I thought there wouldn’t be a problem.

“If it’s Borghien, isn’t it the place where the undead ran rampant this time? I heard that you safely blocked it?”

Honen, who was with me, also asked in a puzzled voice.

Then, the article of the marquis immediately explained the situation.

“It is said that a large force invaded again this time. But this time, the news was that the warlock was revealing himself and the battlefield was confused.”

“Are you pushing too far?”

“The opposing warlock is a necromancer.”

The article replaced the explanation with that one word.

It was the warlocks who thought they were the last variable after blocking the two biggest crises, but they are openly rampaging.

Borgijen had Vivian.

Paradoxically, while all other playables are safe, non-playable Vivian is in the most danger.

‘It’s fortunate that I left the dragon soldier and nickel just in case you didn’t know.’

I asked the knight, thinking of bringing out my undead from hiding in the ground not too far from Borgien.

“How is the support going?”

“Probably some of our troops and all of the academy applicants.”

Honen clicked his tongue in regret at the knight’s words.

“Tsk. Dalian will have to be postponed until later.”

And then immediately turned around.

“I’m going to go pack my things.”

After Honen disappeared, the knight was still there, looking at me.

“Do you have anything more to say?”

“His Excellency the Marquis asked for his opinion on what Sir Cromwell would do and asked me to come.”

“Can I also participate in the application?”

“Actually, His Excellency the Marquis seems reluctant, but he told me to do so if he wants.”

“Then I will also participate.”

The knight put on a troubled expression at my immediate reply.

In fact, the words of the Marquis were like a pretense.

Saying that you don’t want to is the real intention, and saying that you want to participate is not really asking you to participate, it’s just a courtesy.

But I didn’t notice the marquis.

Because of the mana problem, he had canceled the summons of Krivmacher and Ludo, so he could not stand it because he was worried about Vivian in Borghien.

“That......reconsider your thoughts......”

“I think I should go again.”

I knew the Marquis would be angry, but it couldn’t take precedence over protecting my people.

If Vivian hadn’t been in Borghien, I would have been here in silence, but that doesn’t work.

“All right. Then, I will deliver the message to His Excellency immediately.”

“Where is the assembly point?”

“It is in front of the north gate of the inner castle.”

“All right.”

After the article disappeared, I immediately went back to my room and packed my things.

At the same time, he sent a signal to Nickel, who was vigorously swinging his sword in the underground space.

First of all, I had to find out how serious the situation was through Nickel on the way.

Dalgrak!

Nickel’s positive response was transmitted and I headed for the north gate.

**

“Tough. And many.”

In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was blocking Borgien by himself.

Layton, the third leader of the Sun Knights and an Aura Master, looked around with his entire body wrapped in wind.

Numerous undead swept away by his windsword were scattered and shattered.

“Sir Layton! An enemy Auror Master has appeared in the west!”

When someone hurriedly shouted, Layton immediately ran to the west gate using the wind.

Running at great speed, he happened to see a knight holding out against the Aura Master.

‘Did you say Vivian?’

I heard that he was an applicant from Rodlen Academy, but that level was absolutely not that of a student.

Even if it was only for a short time, holding onto the Aura Master was a great thing.

Whiik-

Kwaaaang————!

Layton, who soared high using the power of the wind, stuck to the giant’s Aura Master like a meteorite.

However, the opponent was formidable, and the wolf-shaped aura blocked the attack at once.

“All right!”

Retreating to the inner wall meant giving up the people’s houses and shops that existed in the outer wall.

But survival came first.

Bouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu000000000

As soon as the whistle sounded, Borghien’s troops began to withdraw all at once.

There were many people who were killed or injured in the process, but it was an unavoidable choice.

“Everyone retreat to the inner wall! Sir Leighton! Please stop the enemies!”

It was natural for the troops to fall into the castle and the enemies would follow them.

Someone had to draw their attention and stop them, so Magner asked Layton, but he didn’t seem able to afford it because he was fighting the giant Aura Master.

“I’ll do it.”

At that time, Vivian, who had turned dark red in full body armor, stepped out.

Magner let out a pitiful sigh and nodded his head.

“Please... do it.”

It was so humiliating to have to ask such a student.

However, I felt relieved because I felt her outstanding skills during the war.

“Seniors. Are you sane? I’m going to die!”

However, Fione intervened between them.

“But Sir Magner must continue to command. Someone has to stop and that’s only me right now.”

“Still, you are an academy applicant! No, I’m not even a member of the Rodelian Empire in the first place! I didn’t come here to die, I came here to help...!”

At Phione’s confused words, Vivian reached out and stroked her hair.

“Pione.”

And slowly took off the helmet.

Her rust-colored hair dripped with sweat.

“If I die, take good care of Adrias.”

“Now what do you mean! Why are you dying!”

The two-day battlefield changed even Pione.

The comradeship that saved each other’s lives at the crossroads of life and death was so strong that Fione wanted to reverse Vivian’s choice.

“That’s Okay! Even now, as soon as possible, with me in the inner world.......”

“Sir Magner. Please take good care of Pioneardi.”

Vivian turned and walked toward her enemies.

She was expressionless, but Fione and Magner could feel the determination in her.

“Vivian Velocan!”

Phione shouted to the end, but soon the noise of the battle was swept away.

Magner forcibly grabbed Phione and carried her on one shoulder as he ran.

“Leave this!”

“sorry. I’ll apologize properly later.”

Magner was heartbroken to entrust such a dangerous mission to the mysterious woman, but the responsibility as a commander made him cool.

“I’ll pay the price for this sin properly later.”

While everyone was entering the inner sanctuary, Vivian blocked the road and greeted the enemies.

Awesome! three!

Sreuk –

The enemies collapsed in an instant with the swordsmanship that was like a ghost.

However, that too soon began to grow burdensome with the increasing number of enemies.

“Oops!”

thud!

The barbarian’s mace shattered his shoulder armor.

Vivian, whose stamina had reached its limit, eventually took off the broken armor.

“Hehe. You will not die gracefully.”

The barbarians surrounding Vivian began to surround her with sinister smiles.

However, Vivian still looked at the situation behind her with an expressionless face.

Fortunately, her mission was successful.

Everyone entered the inner wall and locked the door.

‘it’s okay.’

she smiled.

“Vivian!”

Pione, who was watching it from the top of the inner wall, finally shed tears.

Hearing that voice, Vivian slowly raised her sword and put it to her throat.

“You guys! Are you going to end your life!”

One of the barbarians hastily shouted.

And when Vivian, without hesitation, tried to cut her own throat.

Bubbubuck!

Someone suddenly appeared and cut down all the barbarians around.

“ah?”

Vivian looked blankly at the sight and muttered.

“Adrias?”
