Episode 69
[Notice: It has been warped!]
[Current location: Aldeon Fortress]
[Notice: New location information has been updated!]
“Oh, it’s cold.”
As soon as the light from the warp gate disappeared, Damian shrank as he looked at the plateau in front of him.
At first glance, it was a rugged highland reminiscent of the Gaema Plateau.
A place where you can hardly see the light, so you can only guess that the black is the mountain and the moonlight pouring over it is the sky.
Streetlights processed with magic stones were erected at 10-ter intervals, giving off a faint light.
Compared to the fortress, which is several tens of ters high, it is a place that can only be seen as fireflies.
This is the northwestern part of the Gais Great Mountains, and it is said to be a place where humans cannot live because it is rough.
It was < Berthas Plateau >.
“It reminds of the old days.”
“Has the owner been here before?”
“I have been here once before. There was a similar place in my world.”
“Is that so!”
“ok. Like the weather.”
Damian looked around the warp gate as he put the bundle and the new chicks into his arms.
Indeed, it was a place that reminded of my enlistnt days.
Damian enlisted in the military as soon as he turned 20.
As a military number assigned to Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, and having to undergo cold weather training twice, he entered a remote area called Dongmakgol and perford combat engineering tasks such as building minefields.
It was very similar to what it was back then.
While camping in the valley of Dongmakgol, where the temperature dropped to minus 28 degrees Celsius, two people went into the A-type tents in the color of the national colors and set off dozens of hand warrs to endure the day.
So the monts where I was able to personally experience how far a person can endure.
And Damian saw hundreds of people, including himself, crowded at the warp gate.
It was not difficult to figure out that many adventurers, including himself, applied for the defense of Aldeon Fortress in this extre land.
“Those who volunteered for the defense of Aldeon Fortress, please gather in the central plaza.”
“I inform you once again. There will be an instruction from Captain Mikhail in 30 minutes, so please gather in the central square for those who volunteered for the defense of Aldeon Fortress.”
Due to periodic guidance radio waves from soldiers lined up on both sides of the warp gate.
It was because the adventurers from the other world warping in and out were moving in perfect order to the central plaza.
“Shall we go too?”
“This is not the ti, master! Hurry up and get so clothes!”
And the mont when the bunch and the new chicks chirped at Damian’s words and were busy avoiding the cold in his arms.
“…hmm?”
“huh?”
Damian could see that the face of the user whose eyes t his had a sense of déjà vu that he had seen a lot of it sowhere, and that face quickly turned into contemplation.
“Everything, everything, you…!”
“what.”
Starting with the rudeness of showing up at the next gate and pointing at you at the sa ti.
It was Seo Hye-eun, the leader of the Great Wolf King’s raid party, who had been robbed of his equipnt while competing with him once before.
“How could a vicious person like you be here…!!”
“There’s nothing you can’t say from the beginning.”
Damian narrowed his eyes as Hye-eun stood at the warp gate as if she had been nailed.
It was a very different outfit than before.
Hye-eun was wearing a set of < Light Mail >, a type of chain mail, and < Albot Silk > to maximize activity under it at the ti of encounter in the Caliph Mountains.
Now, he was wearing the < Noble Blossom Set >, which reminds of riding clothes, and the < Royal Guard Mail > with the eagle symbolizing the Earthraia family.
“woah. How much money did you spend?”
“Looks great, master!”
flash!
Looking at Hye-eun’s outfit, Damian and Munch-chi’s eyes twinkled like stars at the sa ti could be said to be full of pure yet intense desire that made even Hye-eun, who was pointing a finger at them, shrink.
It was because Hye-eun, who had already been hit by Damian once, had so trauma left that made her body harden just by looking at Damian and Munch’s eyes.
‘calm down. Calm down, you idiot…!’
“Why are you here?”
“I think I ate sothing wrong, master!”
When Damian and Moongchi looked at each other with strange eyes, Hyeeun gritted her teeth.
The past passed by like a kaleidoscope.
After being deprived of various equipnt including < 6 Ishtart Epee > by Damian, Hye-eun had to hear from her teacher for the first ti in her life that she seed to be lacking in effort.
At the sa ti, I had to help the family work day and night to restore the equipnt for a while.
The harsh closing training was a bonus.
Of course, thanks to that, I was able to achieve a sufficient level up without having to go hunting, and I was able to use the earth layer swordsmanship to a higher level.
Even so, it was not possible to completely erase all the humiliation and insults that Damian had suffered (?).
“Be prepared, today will be your morial day…!”
“Eh.”
Chanang!
It could be said that it was very natural for such Hye-eun to draw a sword towards Damian and try to stab it with a sharp montum like a javelin of a horseback knight right away.
Even though she participated in the defense of Aldeon Fortress here, it was also according to the traditional custom of the Earthraia family, a long-established warrior family in the Kingdom of Terra.
It was as if they had been dispatched for the well-being of mankind beyond national and racial boundaries.
The sight of Demian, who could be said to be his nesis right now, standing in a half-naked suit was no different from a golden opportunity given to Hye-eun by God.
“You will regret it.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“If you don’t lower the knife, you’ll regret it.”
After-after after-after!
And, regardless of Hye-eun’s battle posture with her epee raised, Damian muttered to himself, clearing his ears as if foreseeing the upcoming calamity
… !!!”
Eventually, Hye-eun’s sword shot toward Damian at the speed of a beam of light, and with the montum that seed to pierce his neck at any mont, the Earthraia family’s poison sword thod began to burst out of Hye-eun’s hand.
[Chevalier]
[Attaque Composée]
< Attaque Composée >.
It was an explosive stab that could pierce even a tolerable full plate mail.
“Anyway, I won’t listen to what others say even if I die.”
“…the owner?”
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
And the mont Damian looked around without even reacting to Hye-eun’s attack with a carefree face despite the frightened reaction of the bunch.
“You’re out of your mind.”
“…!”
Caang!
Eventually, a black figure soared up like a shadow in front of Demian’s eyes, raising the sword of Hye-eun’s < Atak Compose >, which seed impossible to block easily.
At the sa ti, he vomited a spirit that kicked Hye-eun’s disheveled upper body and blew it to one side of the warp gate.
“Look at that. I said I would regret it.”
“It’s… black…!”
It was a destructive and speedy attack that made you feel like you would choke at any mont without even paying attention to Damian’s sarcastic remarks while standing at the warp gate.
“Here in Aldeon Fortress, stabbing with a sword is a sense of imdiate execution. Do you want to die?”
‘This again… what…’
Hyeeun’s arm twisted in pain as the black figure looked down at her and muttered lowly.
It was an intrusion that didn’t notice at all even in the middle of the attack.
Wearing a crow-like cape, a bluish Broadsword hanging down, and a dark-colored < Leganza Leather Armor > set reminiscent of those of hunters.
A man wearing a mask that was so tight that his features could not be seen below his eyes.
“oh my. Good job knights. That woman suddenly ran amok by herself.”
“Looks like you have a grudge against them.”
“What does that matter? In the end, everyone stepped here to stop the monsters. I don’t an anything other than that. Really.”
“…Then I won’t get involved any further.”
Poof!
And Hye-eun learned from Damian’s words, who had several conversations with the crow man, that the man’s status was not just a soldier, but a kind of < Knights >.
It was only through the ssage she heard from her teacher before leaving for Aldeon Fortress that she was able to instinctively guess what the man’s identity was.
‘Knight… Crow.’
Night crow knights.
They are the protagonists who protect Aldeon Fortress, the absolute line of defense of the border, and are said to surpass most of the Kingdom’s Guard Knight Commanders in terms of individual strength.
It could be said that it was a group of slaughter machines only to kill monsters.
“Judging by their behavior, it seems they were dispatched from the Earthraia family. It looks like the level of personnel recruited by the Earthraia family this ti is very low.”
“no…!”
“If you are a mber of a family that represents Terra, act accordingly. You must have heard about this place from your family. If you didn’t belong to Earthraia, I wouldn’t have let you go.”
When the man finished his words and turned around, Hye-eun’s face flushed red.
If the blush a while ago was because of Damian, it was because he was embarrassed now.
In order to fend off countless monsters coming from the unexplored lands in the west, they couldn’t escape from Aldeon Fortress 365 days a year.
If it was the Berthas Plateau, where people couldn’t live due to the extre cold and barren environnt, then the nobility of the Night Crow that the family said was not sothing that they could discuss.
“Yeah~. I didn’t see it that way, but the back is very good. I was beaten with a sense of imdiate execution, but the Knights of the Night Crow didn’t even swing their swords.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“You feel lucky. Because that class seems to have saved their lives. Or maybe the class has been demoted to an ordinary knight?”
“hey!!!!”
And while Damian passed Hye-eun’s shouting in one ear, while watching the supply start from the 24-person tent prepared in the central plaza, he began to insinuate toward Hye-eun, who had collapsed on the floor.
“I know how you feel about . Stop being a stalker that makes people tired. Aren’t you ashad of that?”
“I… I Ii…!!”
“Oh, and from now on, as the knights said, it would be better to focus on the mission? As the nobleman said, this place is not so easygoing.”
Maybe because he’s surviving, he doesn’t have enough ti to care about things like .
“Then let’s go first.”
Before long, Damian started heading towards the supply tent with the bundle.
