Chapter 611

Episode 611: Signs of War (1)

At Hongyeong’s call, all the guards gathered together.

These are faces I haven’t seen in a really long time.

Without even having time to express their joy to each other.

Hongyoung said softly.

“It’s a job.”

Hongyoung never opened her mouth easily.

There was only one issue that she could directly call them to do ‘work’.

The Dark Spirit, who had been thinking about it, asked insinuatingly.

“It’s a job. Well, the pastime wasn’t bad. It’s time to slowly come back. Is the opponent black?”

At that, Hongyoung’s head moved slowly up and down.

It’s a fight with the black room.

Due to their nature, they will not be inclined to an all-out war already.

But that doesn’t mean you can relax.

No matter what anyone says, they are people who have reached a level where they will not be pushed back even if they compete against the Lessian Empire.

It will probably be a tougher fight than the ones we’ve fought so far.

Thinking so, the faces of the receptionists who had cherished their lives up until now were filled with pensiveness.

Soyoung tapped the table and drew attention.

“It’s Hongyoung’s decision. Surely you’re not worrying about something trivial about the subject of the receiving committee?”

At first glance, the tone was aggressive, but her words changed the eyes of all the receptionists.

Emotion drains out of pensive eyes.

In the deep breath, the life of the past was coming out together.

The security guards who looked back at themselves while stroking the swordsmen looked at each other with cold faces as usual.

chilly atmosphere.

The sharp air was frightening as if flesh were being sliced.

everything is as usual

familiar tension.

It’s as if I’m finally wearing clothes that fit my body.

The security guards also regained their composure at the sight so familiar that it made them smile.

“no way.”

“You never let the world live a good life.”

He gets up from his seat with a joke of his own.

Gradually, a unique chill leaked out from the huge black spirit.

Let them seem ready.

Hongyoung called Soyoung.

“Soyoung.”

“I know.”

Fixing the red string hanging from her shoulder, Soyoung said while making eye contact with everyone.

“The location of the main unit of the Black Bang is still unknown. Our opponents are quite large mercenaries. There are two sword masters with the name Leven. It’s a level of power that can occupy any small kingdom. Don’t be careless and die.”

“There are two sword masters.”

Master’s name is not light.

Even if it’s just Zeke right now, if we face it in an all-out war, it’s because it’s a skill that can easily take about half of the guards.

I already pictured in my head how dangerous the battle would be in the future.

“How much power do you have left?”

Soyoung answered Cheongyoung’s question right away.

“The total number of troops is about 10,000. They’re buying weapons from the south, so they’re trying to enter the principality through the northern distribution route. We have to block that road in advance and gradually reduce the Leven Mercenary Corps’ troops.”

It is too many troops to reduce sequentially.

That’s ten thousand people.

He had done a lot of assassinations so far, but he could only count on a handful of enemies who had fought with so many troops.

Soyoung continued.

“If we don’t reduce the number in time, we will be annihilated. I’ll tell you in advance, but if you’re not confident, get out.”

“ha ha ha.”

Bloody Young laughed.

“About 10,000 rags, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“I wish I could, but... it’s not so easy.”

“Tell the goblins to stop what they are doing and work hard on completing the wall. Summon all goblins who can fight and hand out weapons.”

“That’s...”

The goblin reporting is a second-generation goblin.

As a goblin who was not born and raised in a dungeon but grew up in the principality, he was more accustomed to peace than anyone else.

Ignoring his quivering pupils.

said the Goblin Queen.

“It is a war.”

The banquet ended safely.

In addition to placing several conditions on King Heron, Ray conveyed the story about Count Sylvester well.

The first is about taxes.

This issue was an atmosphere in which the royal family easily passed over whether there was something stabbed.

The second was a matter related to the belongings of the previous king that the count kept.

It wasn’t something that he was recklessly involved in, but if it continued to cause trouble, civil war might eventually break out.

No matter what anyone said, Count Sylvester’s family was slowly regaining their former prosperity.

The king, who was resolutely against it at first, soon understood it after he touched his shoulder a little and talked like a man.

After finishing all the work in the castle, only the Chimera and the Dragon Rare remained.

“I am How can you make a chimera in a place like this and not get noticed? If it’s great, it’s great.”

No matter how much Heron Kingdom is a small kingdom on the periphery, you can’t know it even if you release Chimera, which can be said to be the exclusive property of warlocks.

I was skeptical of their intelligence.

“Anyway, I don’t know if Halfman is doing a good job. He’s a trustworthy guy if you let him do it, but...”

If you don’t do it, he’ll jump out with money, so I’m not the only one who’s worried.

Even if it’s not, I haven’t been able to contact you properly because I’ve been busy lately.

I thought of Kim, should I try to contact him?

Ray took out a small crystal ball from his chest.

Tap lightly to let the mana flow.

Light began to emanate from the crystal ball with a humming sound.

How many minutes did you wait?

Even at a glance, the image of Harpman with sunken eyes was drawn.

“Halfman, what else are you thinking about dying?”

Have you been unable to sleep all night counting gold coins?

I thought so and said it, but the answer I heard was quite unexpected.

– It’s a big deal, Lord Dan.

“Big deal? A lot of big things. Lately, I haven’t seen Aira’s face for three months, so I’m not going to get married. What should I do now, Halfman?”

Halfman shook his head vigorously.

– This is not the time to joke. The troops of the Leven Mercenary Corps are advancing to Danju’s estate.

“Eh?”

mercenaries?

What does that mean all of a sudden!

Ray, who was struck by lightning in the dry sky, argued.

“These crazy bastards! Do you dare to touch the ownerless land because you have nothing to touch? so!”

-I informed the receivers and Zeke to prepare. It’s still a weak force, but the goblins are said to be ready for battle.

At those words, Ray was quite relieved.

The receiving committee is the best intelligence organization in the castle country.

On top of that, Zeke was joining in, so the mercenary corps would not be an enemy.

“I wonder what a big deal it is again...”

– Troops are over 10,000. In addition, since there are two sword masters, you should be able to go in and out of the duchy that is just beginning to establish itself.

ten thousand troops.

Two sword masters.

Even if they tried to invade the Kingdom of Heron right away, it was a force that would not be unreasonable.

As he let out a sigh of relief, a blood clot stood up again on Ray’s neck.

“Stop! I’m blocking it at all costs!”

We haven’t forgotten about dragon rares and chimeras.

However, the house seemed to be robbed right away, but Ray’s courage was not strong enough to read a book leisurely.

He hurriedly prepared to leave the kingdom of Heron.
