Episode 1070. It’s quiet today.
Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
That evening, the airship carrying the Raminov Kingdom inspection team floated above the garrison.
Duke Escatos, who was staring at the airship, asked the chief of staff.
“What did you say?”
“As soon as I return, I will propose troop dispatch. I’ve seen the arch supporting the upper part of the ice wall collapse in front of the inspectorate and even repelling the demon beast, so I won’t wait.”
“I hope so too.”
Duke Escatos muttered like he was talking to himself.
After the invasion of the demons, there was an obsession to increase the troops in the Hirhera Garrison.
“Constantly ask for help from the Empire. We need to turn the Empire’s attention to the North, not the South.”
“Yes, but will the Empire send troops to the North? Even if you look at it, it looks like they are trying to push the kingdom of Raminov instead of them.”
“That’s true, but the strongest on the continent is the Imperial Army no matter what anyone says. Their cooperation is essential to protecting Hirhera. Any news about the other northern kingdoms?”
“Everyone is similar to Raminov Kingdom. I’ll send an inspection team to check the facts. It is not easy for everyone to believe that there is a hole in the ice wall.”
“It has been there for thousands of years, so there is no reason for it to be so. I must pray that the invasion of the demons is delayed.”
“Do you think the demons will invade again?”
“If there is a big hole in the ice wall, there will be interest that was not there. Even more so, Anakin ca over to the human world and fought once. Do you think the other demons will just let it go if they find out?”
“…”
“The demons will invade again. I don’t know when that was. It won’t take long.”
“Could it be possible to stop it with only the current garrison of Hirhera?”
“well. If it was one or two lower demons like Anakin, it would be possible to stop it, but if the demon lord personally led the legion… it would be fortunate if he didn’t get annihilated.”
Duke Escatos stared ahead with dark eyes.
It was not unexpected that the cracks in the ice wall would lead to the invasion of demons.
But when it cos to reality, I don’t know what to do.
***
Beginning with the Raminov kingdom inspection group, inspection groups from the northern kingdoms arrived at Hirhera at intervals of one day.
Although it is said to be in the north, the border with the Kingdom of Escatos is the Kingdom of Baylem and Raminof.
In fact, the other northern kingdoms were as far away from the rift as the Empire.
But they took Hirhera’s rift seriously.
This is because if the monsters and monsters move along the ice wall right away, they will reach the northern kingdoms.
Unlike the Empire, the Northern Kingdom’s inspection team, which did not have a buffer zone in the middle, rushed back as soon as they confird the rift.
Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
After all the good days were over, it was finally the turn of the Escatos Kingdom Army to be put into the rift.
And Alpha Company cut off that start.
Rufus Company, naturally spread out, also had to work together to support Alpha Company.
Fabian, who was moving to the forefront of the rift, grunted.
“Why is Alpha Company starting? If you do it right, the last car will be the Alpha Company, right?”
“You say you’re going to start afresh with a new heart, right? It’s the sa day off anyway, so do it.”
Elio couldn’t understand Fabian’s complaint.
Anyway, ‘6 companies of the 2 kingdoms guard the rift for 3 days’ is still the sa, but I don’t know why.
“Isn’t it because the order of introduction was initialized because there was confusion in the command center, not a new start? Because of that, we received our mission six days early.”
“That is it. It’s the sa as working 3 days and taking 15 days off anyway, so what’s the complaint?”
“It’s because I got to work six days earlier.”
“Oh really. Aren’t you tired of the sa sound? The soldiers look at you and laugh.”
“You may be smiling on the outside, but inside you will be the sa as .”
“Stop talking nonsense. Did you check the supplies? It’s been a long ti since I’ve been on a mission, so I shouldn’t have missed anything.”
Elio asked as if to confirm.
A knight only has to take care of his own things, but a commander has to take care of the company mbers’ things as well.
“Yes yes. Don’t worry about food and fire stones. Quartermasters are also very generous in our company. It spreads so much that I don’t need to beg for more.”
“Guide the company mbers well so as not to get frostbite. If soone from our company cuts off their fingers and toes due to frostbite, you’re done.”
“Squadron commander. It is said that even a king cannot save a lazy person. Why is it my fault that I got frostbite because I was lazy?”
“Peck so you don’t get lazy, man.”
“ha! There are more people who lose their limbs while fighting demons than frostbite.”
“Write! At any rate, make sure no one gets hurt unnecessarily! You ca out of the knight academy, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Our company also has seniors and juniors from the Knights Academy.”
While the two were chatting, we arrived at the forefront of the rift.
Rufus Company, as before, took up a suitable position behind Alpha Company.
Fabian’s eyes widened when he saw the crack.
“Squadron commander. Did you see it?”
“crack?”
“Yeah, how big is it? It was drilled all the way to the top. You can call it a passage now.”
“I know. Is it because I haven’t seen you in a long ti? Did the lting speed increase?”
“It seems to be both.”
“Yah. Shouldn’t we build a wall instead of just guarding this?”
“That’s right. Haven’t you heard anything from your superiors?”
“Would you say sothing like that to a company commander?”
“Are you still the lord?”
“You can’t expect to be treated like a lord when you don’t even have the manor soldier with you.”
“What are you talking about? The company commander is one of a kind, so of course he should be treated like a lord.”
“That is my position. Would the seniors even think about that? They must be busy taking care of themselves.”
“He’s such a big-hearted person, so I don’t know why people say that.”
At Fabian’s sudden words, Elio turned his head.
“What are you talking about?”
“The company commander is simple and violent.”
“I?”
Elio pointed at himself with an absurd face.
Being simple and violent towards yourself who always predicts the outco and acts?
I don’t know what kind of nonsense this is.
“yes.”
“why?”
“Didn’t you beat Count Putocoa in front of nobles and commoners?”
“It was a sacred duel.”
“Ah, what kind of match is that? To be honest, from what I can see, it wasn’t a duel.”
“So simple and violent?”
“Yes, from my point of view, the company commander’s standards co and go. no seriously.”
“Seriously what?”
“The standards for anger are jagged.”
“You are true to your feelings.”
“But then, isn’t it no different from the Count Putokoa that the company commander hates?”
“Not different.”
“What is different?”
“My anger is just.”
“Ah…”
Fabian couldn’t even refute that.
Certainly, the company commander ran rampant like a madman, but such an opponent was decided.
‘There are no nobles or commoners who have been destroyed like the Counts of Putokoa or the Assassination Organization…’
He helped people in trouble and took care of knights and soldiers.
In a word, he was an aristocrat with a sowhat bizarre character who was ‘weak to the weak and strong to the strong’.
The day at the forefront of the rift passed.
Fabian, who was watching the red burning sunset next to Elio, muttered involuntarily.
“It is quiet today.”
“I know.”
Elio stared at the fissure that had now turned into a canyon.
The Prox Company right in front was said to have killed an average of five monsters a day, but none ca out.
Suddenly, the phrase ‘the calm before the storm’ ca to mind.
‘Certainly not.’
Fabian asked as Elio shook his head.
“I heard you are dispatching troops from Raminov Kingdom too?”
“uh.”
“Wow! I don’t know if all the northern kingdoms are gathering in Hirhera like this.”
“Nothing to like.”
“Yes, yes, you are saying that it is that dangerous? However, it is the first ti in 50 years that the northern kingdom army has gathered. Wouldn’t the kingdom union be the romance of knights?”
“Do you have such a romance?”
“sure. Isn’t it a knight to know the article! If you make a na for yourself in Hirhera, you’ll be famous throughout the Northern Realms. Receiving a title is that much quicker.”
“To receive a title, you have to start with a sword beginner.”
“Of course it is, but not all sword beginners receive titles. If you don’t beco famous to so extent, you will be pushed out of the order.”
“aha! But you’ve already made a na for yourself as the ‘Knight of the Rift’, haven’t you? Is that not enough?”
“Who is lacking? I just want to make a na for myself among the knights of the Northern Kingdom. Even the company commander knows only in Escatos and Baylem Kingdom, no one else knows.”
“What if you don’t know?”
“If you don’t know, trouble will happen. Everywhere you go, you have to prove your identity, and the puppies get into a fight, and if you happen to get entangled with a lord like Count Putocoa, you won’t be able to sleep on your feet.”
“aha!”
Elio agreed to so extent with Fabian’s words.
It was the sa in Gangho.
After becoming famous, there was not much ti to pull out the sword because the Madou of Green Forest were crawling.
Thinking so, Elio was also looking forward to the northern kingdoms.
The next day, the Witchbeast did not appear.
It was the sa on the third day.
Alpha Company and Rufus Company spent three days without a fight with the Witchbeast and exchanged with Diva Company.
Fabian’s expression didn’t look good all the way down to the garrison.
Unable to see, Elio asked.
“Fabian, did you leave anything behind? What’s wrong with your face?”
“Isn’t there sothing strange, Commander?”
“what?”
“For the past three days, not a single monster has co out of the rift. Hasn’t that ever happened before?”
“Sotis the Witchbeast cos out and sotis it doesn’t. Didn’t you promise to co out?”
Elio was also strange, but considering the morale of the troops, he responded as if it was not a big deal.
“Did I ever tell you I was in the Montanosa Mountains? There is the East Sea at the end of the Montanosa Mountains.”
“Do you an the East Sea?”
“yes.”
“however?”
“Sotis I went to a fishing village to get seafood. There is a story I heard from the fishern at that ti.”
“Let’s get to the point.”
“Once every few decades, a mountain wave cos. When that happens, the water on the beach drains all the way to the sea, revealing the dry land beneath the sea.”
“…”
“You know what happens next? A mountain of waves rolls in and sweeps away a seaside town. So when the sea water suddenly goes out, people evacuate to the top of the mountain.”
“Wow! Sothing like that cos every few decades, and the people who live there are amazing.”
“That’s not my point. It ans that the monsters dried up in the cracks. Doesn’t it feel a bit like seawater draining away?”
“Will there be a mountain of waves?”
“Yes, that is how I feel.”
“are you okay. Because this is a mountain.”
“Squadron commander. I an that wave…”
“That way. I’ll tell the Marquis’ staff, so stop worrying. Worrying about it doesn’t an that the cracks will be filled again.”
“That is true.”
“Look around. Everyone is scared because of your words. Knowing what would change anything? Scam to think of a scam.”
“Yes, my thoughts were short.”
“no. It was tily. I was thinking of sothing similar. The calm before the storm.”
“I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, was it?”
“What kind of fool am I? Does it make sense that not a single demon beast has co out for three days?”
“Isn’t the Diva Company similar?”
“Won’t you?”
After that, the two stopped talking about the rift as if they had promised.
There were no casualties, but the atmosphere of Rufus Company was dark.
