Chapter.8 Gray City’s Feast

Six years ago, the northern front was where many lives were lost in the war against monsters.

Derriant was a member of the Knights Templar and was the leader of the vanguard unit of the 3rd Infantry Corps of the Conquest Army.

The conquest army was a temporary unit organized to fight monsters as a joint unit made up of various soldiers ranging from draft soldiers from each territory, the central army, and the knights.

Derriant, who advanced into the enemy camp as the leader of the vanguard unit belonging to the conquest army, made a big mistake. Due to wrong judgment, he made the mistake of being surrounded by monsters.

Mistakes were painful. Surrounded by monsters on all sides, north, south, east, and west, there was no opening to survive. There was only a dirty-looking monster snorting in front and behind, narrowing the gap.

At this moment, Derriant thought everything was over. He is a knight of the Order who lives and dies with honor. A mistake that warrants suicide even if you survive.

The ogre’s sharp nails graze my forearm. Blood oozed out. The problem is that if the vanguard is treated like this, the anger will spread to the supply unit. If that happens, the 3rd Infantry Unit will suffer a huge blow.

Even the worst case scenario of annihilation if done incorrectly.

Darian gritted his teeth and cut off the head of the ogre that attacked him. However, the only one struggling was Derriant, and the besieged men met meaningless deaths everywhere and shed blood. The screams coming from all directions were filled with a deep sense of death.

“Die!”

Darian’s only thought was to kill at least one more monster and die.

It was a bit disappointing to die without seeing his wife and unborn child waiting for him in the capital, but there was no way. Because I already gave up everything.

But at that very moment, a powerful spell struck the center of the ogre horde.

As the fire spread to the center, the ogre group fell into confusion. Moreover, the monsters in the front row began to burn en masse due to the secondary magic.

A retreat created thanks to the wide-range magic that attacked the ogre group. The wizard who suddenly appeared asked Darian.

“Are you the leader of the vanguard?”

“That’s right! “But who are you?”

What is the identity of the person who turned the tide of the war with a single magic spell? In response to Derriant’s question, the wizard opened his mouth so calmly that it seemed as if he had no emotions.

“I am Ellesion, who has just been appointed as a staff member for the 3rd Infantry Division of the Conquest Army.”

At this time, El had not yet swallowed the Dragon Heart. Of course, this was before he met Lulin and before he became a leading player in the monster war.

The staff position of the 3rd Infantry was the position immediately following that of the infantry commander. So, to Derrient, the white commander of the 3rd Infantry, he is his immediate superior. That’s why Derriant immediately knelt down.

“Thank you for your help! But it was my fault that I was under siege! “My subordinates are not guilty!”

Derivant began to judge right and wrong rather than the fight in front of him.

But L didn’t answer there. Rather, I asked a different question.

“Do you care about such trivial matters now?”

“ancient?”

“Ogres are coming from behind. For now, just cut down one more. Because that is war.”

It was a very natural command.

Derrient, who came to his senses for a moment, nodded, grabbed his sword, and ran towards the ogre group. If he had been wrong, the 3rd Infantry could have been annihilated because of him. As if in atonement, Darriant threw his life away and fought.

As a result, due to El’s participation in the war, the siege of monsters was lifted and the tide of the war turned. Fortunately, the vanguard unit of the 3rd Infantry was able to maintain the front line and organize a garrison at the front line.

Of course, whether it is human power or transcendental power, it is now just a memory that does not matter.

I stood up and opened my mouth.

“Will you forget me back then? “Now I’m just a retired restaurant owner who’s tired of fighting.”

“So that’s why I couldn’t find it. I never dreamed you were in a place like this! But, Chief of Staff, isn’t the war over now? “I don’t have to get tired of fighting any more, so I just need to be treated the same way!”

Derivant only knows me back when I had human powers. I don’t know what happened after that. Because his eyes are not filled with awe, but just joy for his comrades.

“What do you use the treatment for? Just getting caught up in another battlefield. I just like the freedom of being in peace. “I am satisfied with nice people and nice scenery.”

“that... .”

Darriant trailed off as if he was at a loss for words. However, he is not a man who cannot understand that each person’s ideal is different. As evidence, Derivant quietly shook his head.

“Rather than that, since we’re here, why don’t we at least have a meal?”

Derivant immediately shook his head at my words.

“no. I came here briefly with permission during official duties, so I will come back after I finish official duties. I am satisfied knowing you are here. So, I will bring my wife and daughter. Even now, my wife always talks about the reward money she sent back then... . haha.”

Darriant scratched the back of his head.

“Is that good?”

It’s a heart-warming story just to hear.

“Aren’t you suddenly disappearing again?”

“That won’t happen. “Just as you have a home, this is also my home now.”

There is even a dragon lair at the bottom of the hill, so now this is my home that I cannot leave or leave. When I spoke strongly, Darian nodded as if relieved. And then he left the restaurant with his subordinates.

It seems he found me by chance on the street and came to me in a hurry. Since I have to carry out my knightly duties, it goes without saying that I can’t stay for long. Thanks to this, it felt like a storm had swept over me.

“They are arrogant people. I do not like it.”

“It’s a guy I used to know.”

“If you weren’t eating, I would have killed everyone!”

Lulin raised his eyebrows. Take off the rice and tell me.

“But since I kneel to you, I accept. “If you are a person who shows respect to me, I will not treat you poorly either.”

“Thank you for that.”

As I spoke while removing the rice paste, Lurin started laughing. Then he put his finger in the rice paste I had removed and put it into his mouth.

“Hi-Hi.”

Still smiling.

That was all good, but this dragon suddenly started biting my finger. That too.

“Hey, don’t bite!”

When I screamed, Lurin declared loudly and spit out her finger.

“Your fingers are mine now!”

Fingers with clear teeth marks.

Then the dragon ran straight to the second floor. Then of course I have to chase after it.
