60 Night raid.

I walked inside the palace of Kara with Padilla. She blushes and follows behind, probably because of what happened last night.

I squeezed Padilla's waist as I coughed. The maids were working nearby, but they didn't care.

Kara Palace has many eyes and many mouths, so rumors are spreading quickly. There was no reason to hide the relationship that would be known anyway.

But the truth is, there was a rather tricky connection between me and Padilla.

‘Hmph. Do I have to wear this? ’

I pulled out the folded paper in my pocket and opened it slightly.

It was a contract.

Padilla said yesterday that she was the only direct family member of Kara's family and that she was obligated to thrive, including at least once a week and three consecutive days at a time of her choosing once a month.

If I violate it once, I will be reimbursed twice as much later, so I could say it was a happy and embarrassing relationship.

Then Armida came trembling. The three of us have been staying in Kara Palace since we recently lent Kaoyan's office to refugees.

“Brother! We're in trouble. What do I do?"

Padilla gives me a little distance and greets me politely.

“Welcome. Brother.”

Armida stares at Padilla like it's no wonder.

“What's wrong with him? ”

“Brother, I'll take good care of you from now on. And as soon as the war is over, I will arrange a good marriage, so don't worry too much about the future. ”

Padilla is already alert to her sister-in-law. It seemed like we were going to marry my sister quickly and have our own time.

I pricked Padilla's side.

“Sister Chin, no. ”

“Really?"

“I'm the oldest in my genealogy. There's no consolation. ”

“Oh, I see. Yeah. ”

“What else? ”

Padilla whispered in my ear.

“How do I organize my order? Shura is a friend of mine, but she is still with the Grand Duke, even though she is older than me. ”

“Just take her straight up. I like that. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Armida narrows her eyes and looks at us in alternation.

“What was that conversation? ”

“Something like that. But, Sister, what do you want from me? ”

Armida suddenly leaps forward with a contemplative face.

“That's right. I'm in real trouble. ”

“Why?”

“Euroa contacted me and told me that I was involved in this war and that the queen was furious. What do I do now? ”

The Queen was like a Valkyrie. I snorted and shuddered.

“No, what are you angry about? You're just protecting Shura, right? ”

“I'm supposed to be looking for Copondia, but she says she's doing something else. ”

“But it doesn't matter. In fact, this war is also about finding your sister's friend. ”

Armida's eyes widen.

“Really? How? ”

“What continent is your sister's friend on? ”

“I don't know.”

“That means it could be in the Great Desert, right? ”

“That's right."

“But if we, Padilla, win this war and become Queen of the Great Desert, Your sister's friend's bounty flyers are all over the Great Desert. ”

Armida glances at Padilla, and she nods. I don't know in English, but it seemed to listen to me because I asked.

“So?”

“What's the matter? That's what I'm looking for, your friend. What? ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Anyway, I don't understand your superiors. Why do you keep telling me to go the easy way? Just keep your eyes peeled. Why are there so many guys who don't pay me a dime? ”

Armida waved her hand at the sheep that said 10 million words.

“No, I have something for you. ”

“What?"

“Pardon.”

I bit my lip.

“That's the default option. You said finding your sister's friend would save humanity. ”

“Yes.”

“But who will send the man who saved humanity to hell? If we send those people to hell, all of humanity will go to hell. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I shook my head and took Padilla away from her. It's a very simple interpretation, but I don't know if they all have exemptions. Honestly, it's useless to accept that.

Padilla looked at me curiously.

“Grand Duke, what did you just say? ”

“Never mind. Your boss is originally a fraud organization. ”

“But you were talking about the Celestial Hell? ”

“So they're scammers. No, there's heaven in the world, there's hell. It's just an old story made up. ”

“But they all say that, right? ”

I stared straight at Padilla.

“Padilla, what is the heavenly sanctuary? ”

“Isn't there a world where no one is unhappy and only happiness? ”

“But humans feel unhappy in the people around them, and unhappy just because they are alone. Where in the world is a world where we can make these people 100% happy? ”

In my theory, it was full of front and back, and Padilla's words were blocked. If there were many, they were unhappy, and if they were unhappy, they would always be unhappy no matter where they were. Even if it's heavenly.

“That's... ”

“So is hell. Humans find small and trivial happiness in any kind of pain or misery. Like love blooms in a terrible, terrible war. But where the hell is this miserable, miserable hell? Of course not.”

“Yes · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“So don't get too attached to the Celestial Hell. We just need to enjoy life. So, are we gonna start enjoying life? ”

“Yes?”

I grabbed Padilla's waist with a puzzled look. She flinches for a moment, but soon notices my intentions and is gently dragged into the nearby room.

A three-day power outage has passed since the first battle like a dream. But the battle hasn't happened in a while. Maybe it was the shock of defeat on the first day that Robos got into a state of weakness.

At the time of our discovery, there were 600 warriors and 2,000 wounded. It was a common avoidance during war, but it was only a short time ago that commanders of the Robotic Army felt greatly troubled.

That's how good our waterborne abilities are.

“Humans. Welcome. ”

When I got to the castle, Zambe welcomed me. Today's western wall night guard was a mercenary of Zenbe Azzai.

“What did you call me about? ”

“Looks like they're up to something. ”

Zambe points to a Robos military barracks with a serious face. It's an outpost barracks off the mainland. It's heavily fortified and very close to our walls.

But it's too quiet. It was entirely dark except for the headlights for the perimeter, and there were no loud sounds from the soldiers.

“Looks like they're digging a ditch. ”

“The trenches?”

“Yes. To raid the dungeons beneath the castle. ”

“But I've never seen anything like it. ”

“My goodness. Do you know that? I don't want you to know. If you get caught, it's over. ”

“But how can you not know? ”

“It's too quiet. There aren't a lot of siege strategies to sneak up on. ”

Zambe looked at me.

“Don't you have to have a plan when you know? ”

“Don't worry. We already have a plan. ”

The only way to stop the enemy from digging is to bury a pot of ground and place a soldier with good hearing there. Then, as the enemy's dungeon approaches, you hear the sound of working on the local jars, digging down into the station and counter-attacking.

“Then it should be simple. ”

“But solving it the other way isn't so bad. ”

I clenched my chin with a strange look. Turns out that the forward barracks are within range of the weapons barracks. It's a long way from home, so it looks like you can raise your record quite a bit if you launch a surprise attack and wipe it out.

It didn't look so good just to go out for a few more years anyway, so it seemed good to hit it once.

So I asked the wizards in Kara to shoot the magic blisters for a few days. It was to draw the enemy off guard before launching a surprise attack with a shotgun.

Ambitious night. I've got five squads led by Qasim at the gates. They were from the Great Desert Bandits, so they were quite specialized in night raids.

Qasim approaches me riding a dark crooked horse with a camel.

“Hahaha. Master. Thank you for your opportunity. ”

I looked at Qasim, who I was jealous of.

“Well done. Don't go into plunder mode and get yourself killed." If it's squeaky, we all die. ”

“Don't worry. What would happen if you robbed a construction site? I'll just do my job. ”

“I see. I believe you. ”

“Are you sure you want to take care of the public for me? ”

“Of course. So you're good to go. ”

“Yep.”

When I heard Kasim's answer, I stood in front of the gate. After a short while, the gate opens wide, shouting for a central formation.

“Fire!"

Later, saturation rises throughout the walls, and I race to the barracks ahead of the Robos army.

Boom, boom! Boom!

An elongated mace fires a cannonball. I timed and prepared to enter the enemy camp. Four was supposed to fire nine rounds. If we go in there, we see the damage.

Saturation subsides, and the last shot falls to the enemy camp, carrying out a single charge.

“Enemy attack! ”

“What the hell is going on?! ”

The enemy camp is already in chaos. The barracks are devastated by the gunfire, and some of the torn corpses are rolling around in the dirt.

Of course, cannon fire couldn't do much damage, but it was effective. Enemies who jumped out of panic in their pajamas didn't know what to do.

As I raise the tide high, I rush forward, slashing the head of a frightened soldier. Bloody, dark head that tumbles into the dirt. I cut down my enemies again and again, regardless of this.

Soon after, Qasim's troops split into small troops, swinging forward barracks to lure the enemy out.

“Back, back, back! The backbone is here!”

A soldier shouting that I was coming died in agony, surrounded by the flames of a dark crooked horse. Soon after another fire erupted from the threshing horse, the surrounding barracks rose vigorously, and the fiery soldiers ran from place to place.

“Rrrrgh!”

I hurried through the chasm, killing any hostiles I could see. Wherever I go, blood flows and screams echo. Some begged for their lives, but they slaughtered them without hesitation.

It's in the middle of the hostiles. If I put it in my hands, I could get hurt.

“Kill them all! ”

At Qasim's cry, the 5th Army soldiers shot arrows at Robos' back, rushing to pull the bow and flee. Some resisted in pairs, but it didn't mean much. They were unable to overcome the concentrated arrow baptism in all directions, and Pickup collapsed one by one.

But there was also a group that stood firm. They were damaging our soldiers with their cunning moves and sharp knives. You're not dressed, but the knights on the Robos side look clear.

I wrapped my blade around Jojo and ran to the Knights.

“Hey! I'm your opponent! ”

As I swing the tide, an arm of a knight flies through the air sprinkled with blood. I jumped right off the chariot horse, rushing towards the Robos knights.

“White cotton · · · · · · · · ·? ”

The knights who recognized me have now shouted back. As if they had no fear of the Master at all, they joined forces and launched a sharp sword at me.

Challenges, windows, windows.

After several workshops, a knight's head flew off by my illiteracy. Knights who are a little slouchy. Soon, however, they continue to rush towards the angry face of the dead comrade, seeking revenge.

It was also Robos' most elite knight. But that was it.

Knights fall in turn before the blade of the Joseon I wield.

Soon after clearing up, I climbed back on the Dark Creek Horse and examined the situation.

‘Looks like the operation was a success. ’

Robos was busy running around. Many have already lost their minds and are pushing back towards the main camp, followed by soldiers marking surrender with their hands raised.

But without hesitation, the arrows of Qasim's troops flew away. We had to do as much damage as we could, so we couldn't tolerate the escape, and we didn't have time to rescue the prisoners as soon as the enemy's base arrived.

At that time, a great number of torches begin to light in front of Robos' stronghold. It looks like a Lobroth reinforcements are assembled to save the forward barracks. Unfortunately, it seemed like it was time to retreat.

I pulled out the horn in my waist and forcefully blew it three times to order a retreat.

“Retreat! Anyone who is late will die!" Fall back! "

I once again set the surrounding barracks on fire and immediately retreated to Castle Kara with Qasim's troops.

The cavalry from the enemy headquarters has been tracking us in haste, but it has been of no use. They soon have to retreat from the heavy arrow attacks that fire on the walls.
