Episode 613 Presence of War (3)

“I heard that even slugs have a knack for rolling...”

It’s no wonder that he, who had been wandering from bar to bar like a caterpillar, was secretly teaching goblins.

The receptionists who were struggling with how to raise them with all their might in two days were impressed.

Among them, Cheongyoung’s impression was more profound than that of other receptionists.

Did you listen to yourself the other day and teach the goblins!

He jumped at Zeke with a weeping face.

“Zeek!”

“Yes, yes. I know your heart.”

He patted Chung Young on the shoulder.

“With this, the burden on electricity has been greatly reduced! All thanks to you!”

“It’s still not enough for an individual mercenary, though.”

“How about just now! I just thought I would be completely annihilated!”

In just a few minutes, Chung-young became Zeke’s ardent devotee.

The Dark Spirit looked back at the goblins with satisfaction.

“Now that the problem with power has been resolved to some extent... now only the city walls remain.”

“Once the walls are completed, we will be able to buy time with the sit-in. Halfman went to ask for aid from other countries, so reinforcements will come soon.”

The majesty of the upper half of Hafman is not limited to the kingdom of Celia.

From the Lessian Empire to the Holy Kingdom of Celia and the Devon Kingdom, all of the great powers use the upper half of the half.

Most of the kingdoms, except for the Small Kingdom Alliance, are trading with the Harpman Merchant, so even if you can’t get troops from the guild, you will be able to get help from the kingdom.

Soyoung looked at the still unfinished wall and said in a short tone.

“It’s the famous black room. If you mess around with it, you might not even get your money’s worth.”

There was no way they would move so clumsily after deciding to move once.

They must have hidden an ambush they hadn’t thought of.

As Soyoung seemed to be lost in thought, Zeke tapped her on the shoulder.

“Relax. Let’s not overcomplicate things now.”

“...you’re the only one who can relax in a situation like this.”

“My lord said so. Instead of becoming a fool who only thinks ahead, become a fool who acts first.”

Is that why he was teaching the goblins without even thinking about it?

Well, in the end, it helped.

When I see a serious face, a smile comes out of me for some reason.

It looks stupid at first glance, but it’s really reassuring when it’s like this.

“We’ll be moving from evening, so prepare everything.”

At her words, the guards nodded their heads.

From the next day, the intensity of training the goblins intensified.

In the meantime, Zeke taught the goblins by filtering out sleep and meals.

Thanks to that, a lot of goblins gradually grew into soldiers.

‘I never forget what I learned from being beaten.’

The swords of the goblins who had been handed down his educational philosophy (?) became sharper and sharper.

Now, even well-trained soldiers of the kingdom will not be able to avoid a single goblin.

To that extent, the achievements of the goblins were extraordinary.

“It must be because the sword master taught me. Yesterday and today are different?”

When Soyoung praised him like never before, Zeke scratched his nose as if embarrassed.

“Well... that’s about it.”

Whether the two of them praised or danced, the goblins would die under Zeke.

No matter how much he strained his hands, the name Master was not an illusion.

With a light swing of the sword, two or three goblins were caught and fell, and if they tried to counterattack, a barrage of wrathful wooden swords would pour down, so they could not resist and had no choice but to be beaten all over.

Even after beating all day, he does this every day to see if he is not tired.

Despite being a monster, such abuse was unbearable.

When one person said that, the mercenaries nearby also fell to their seats.

“The captain is really too much! I’m going to the manor separately, so don’t worry and go first!”

“I can’t stand it any longer!”

The mercenaries spread one by one, and soon thousands of mercenaries rebelled.

Since he received the money, he will go to the battlefield, but while going to the territory, he will move independently.

When thousands of mercenaries, not just a few, came out, the main unit was lost.

There is nothing good about being delayed here.

However, if he didn’t take a break, the mercenaries would rebel, so he couldn’t do anything about it.

The vice-captain rode his horse and came closer to him.

“The originality is high. Wouldn’t it be better to take a break at this point?”

At that question, the captain sighed.

I also want to take a break and go.

but.

‘They won’t stay still if we linger here.’

The events of that day were still vivid in my eyes.

The figures in black robes swept away the mercenaries under them.

The blue thread embroidered on his shoulders was so ingrained in his brain that it sent chills down his spine.

They were the ones whose armed strength exceeded that of the country’s elite knights.

There was nothing good about going against their planting.

Besides, didn’t they say that if things went wrong, they couldn’t even guarantee their own lives?

The leader shook his head, swallowing a groan.

“Can not be done. Continue marching like this.”

“But Captain, it won’t be easy to see the unity of the mercenaries at this rate.”

“Does not matter. After all, they’re money-hungry people. If you give me a few more pennies, I will join the main unit.”

ha.

The vice-captain sighed inwardly.

Why did he march blindly like this?

No matter how many troops there are, you must know that there is nothing good about fighting in such bad conditions.

‘What makes the leader so impatient?’

“...All right. Then what should we do with the mercenaries who have fallen away?”

“If you can read extensively, read extensively, but if you think it will not work, there is no need to forcefully merge them.”

“...I will.”

The vice-captain rode off and retreated.

while he commands the troops.

The leader glanced at the ridge in the distance.

Dark figures stood in a row in the sky where the moon rose brightly.

A cleverly hidden location.

It’s as if you’re standing there so that only you can see it.

Among them, the one standing at the forefront spewed out a stream of blue light.

Does this mean that the time has finally come?

According to his will, the commander who commanded the troops breathed a sigh of relief.

I

was worried about the word that the mercenaries under my command had dispersed, but it seems that the response just now wasn’t bad.

A heavy voice came into his head.

– Have it ready by tomorrow.

An intense voice as if scratching the lungs.

The captain swallowed his saliva.

‘I don’t know anything else... but the principality will end tomorrow.’

Until the morning comes full light.

The march of the Leven mercenaries did not know how to stop.
