138 138. 43. Dual Sword Mercenary (4)

Dothrin's concubine said nothing. He just looked me in the eye and dreamed.

“Commander of the Vale Mercenaries, Ian...”

Ugh.

Even before the words were finished, they raised themselves in their places.

Then he respectfully bowed his head.

“The nobles of Dothrin greet the young lions of Leonberg for their hard times and long distances."

“I pay infinite tribute and gratitude to His Royal Highness Prince Leonberger. ”

I'm freezing.

Then King Dothrin burst into laughter.

He laughs as if he's going to be very breathless. How hard he laughed and his face turned dull.

I looked at the laughing king and his son, and I thought to myself,

The position that determines the withdrawal of the army determines the strategy that will govern the charter at the head of those gathered here.

If you were a light-security person, you wouldn't even be able to sit here in the first place.

Even though I can count it a little, now I realize it's only natural.

First of all, because I wanted to go to the battlefield,

Secondly, because the empire's inhabitants were so accustomed to the situation in their home countries that they were seeping everywhere, they thought that Dothrin's situation would be the same.

I was locked in my thoughts and saw the sword in my hand.

Ooooooooooooooooo.

A glorious sword that is useless.

I assure you, today was the first time Orrablad looked so humble.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The Aurorblades shrivel. The sword cools cold.

Bug, bump, jaw.

I went to a vacant seat.

As naturally as possible, as if nothing had happened.

“Hmmm.”

Dothrin's nobles have desperately cheated on me to not look at me.

I was truly grateful and considerate in tears.

“Here comes the Vale Mercenaries. ”

It would have been better if it wasn't just Dolosis who was playing around.

“Commander of the Veil Mercenaries, Ian is here. ”

I ignored him. Even the nobles did not react at all.

When no one hits the shoe, he becomes a noticeably gloomy face.

As the unnoticed fall into my grass, the atmosphere of the cluttered chairman has improved.

“Then let me briefly explain to the commander of our Vale Mercenaries. ”

But in the end, the king's nobles burst into laughter.

I was consistent with Morso and waited for the atmosphere to calm down.

“Hmmm.”

A knight who coughed in vain stood up and explained the situation.

It was a serious tone with a lot of laughter.

“Thirty-two knights in the 11th Army of the Imperial Armed Forces, who appeared on the border until today's time. Six troops against him, 12,000. Twenty Knights.”

After a great war in which 17 troops and 52 knights were mobilized, I was less surprised.

The battlefield of more than 5,000 knights.

It's an empire, but the knights mobilized by the Dothrin Kingdom were not worth it.

How long has it been open?

I couldn't have poured out all the knight power before the outpost.

In fact, the map spread on the table was also drawn as far as the second and third lines of defence. That meant that the frontline troops were not all. I didn't even know it existed until I arrived in Ecliptic City.

I looked around.

I saw the nobles and knights sitting around the table.

I saw them one by one.

His eyes were full of regularity, and his expression was full of jealousy.

There was not a single one who was frightened by the Empire's invasion.

I groaned.

The future of the kingdom I had hoped for was here.

Loyal and wise nobles who only think of my country, brave knights who do not bow down to the great empire, and kings who trust each other and their clans.

I felt strange. I forced my admiration. And then I went back inside.

The kingdom will be with me soon. I'll make it that way.

I made a commitment a few times.

The meeting was continuing while I was making a vow alone.

“Currently, all strongholds and strongholds on the front line are under attack, and there are three strongholds on the southwestern border that are at a disadvantage. ”

The article pointed to the map.

His fingertips swept through the three fortresses of the front.

“How do I flip the foreground? ”

King Dothrin, who had just become a serious face, asked the nobles for their opinions.

“Reservists and knights waiting in the rear are already receiving support requests. But...”

“But?”

“There are only two of the three that can be saved right now. One of the three is forced to give up. ”

The tone of the article was heavy.

“There are insufficient reserve troops deployed in the southwest. If you tried to save all three by dividing your troops, you might not be able to save all three. ”

“If we pick one, where do we pick it? ”

The Knight points to one of the front-line forts.

"High Wind Citadel. ”

The king asked the knight.

“Who's your general manager? ”

“Count Berten, sir. ”

“Why is there a friend who needs to spend his old age in territory? ”

The knight answered the king's question, sweating.

“As soon as he heard of the outbreak of the war, he rushed to the front. ”

“You know, there's a lot of old age. Tsk.”

The king with his tongue commanded the knight.

"Connect.”

The horse stands scared to death and one of the cerebral ministers pulls out a crystal ball and places it on the table.

How many times have I tried contact lenses?

"Connected.”

In the words of the knight, the king left his mouth open.

"Count Berten. ”

[What do you mean, Your Majesty?]

Beyond the crystal ball, I heard a rusty voice.

“How bad is the current situation? ”

[...] Sir! Enemy forces have infiltrated the waterway! The total number is one hundred, and the enemy forces are constantly reinforcing!]

[Put in the waiting troops, drag time, gather the archers and wipe them out!]

An elderly man's voice was heard, with urgent reports, urgent instructions, and brief terms.

[What did you just say?]

“No, I heard the answer. ”

The frowning king took his mouth off again.

“I'll tell you straight away. I can't afford to send reinforcements right now. ”

[...]

Beyond the crystal sphere, a moment of silence ensued.

[Are you missing? Or does it take time?]

“I can't guarantee time. ”

[...]

“Give up the fort. ”

The old man's resolute voice was heard in the king's words.

[East-West, North-West, and all sides are Empire troops. Escape is not possible.]

Those in the conference room groaned.

[Let's hold on. Then it's good to have reinforcements, and you can't help it if you don't.]

The voice of the old man who awaited the resolution became the king's face.

The king's deception was drawn in his eyes.

Despite the knights of the spear flying towards the battlefield, I had to keep an eye on the crisis in the fort, so it wouldn't be so good.

But the knives the king could scratch were not the knights of the spear alone.

“I'll go. ”

The cerebral minister saw me in unison.

“Even if you go, you can't send a lot of troops with you. Maybe we can make it to the end with the citadel. ”

The king looked at me with a firm face and asked me,

You still want to go?

“Mercenaries are meant to be used when this is the case. ”

I answered without hesitation.

[Who's there? I've never heard of it.]

Then the old man asked beyond the crystal ball.

“A newly hired mercenary by the royal family. ”

[Mercenary?]

The voice of the old man, who had been filled with expectation for a while, became loud.

The fortress was just before the fall, and I was disappointed to send a mercenary butterfly.

And the king said to the old man,

“I assure you. You won't be disappointed. ”

One dizzy knight said it would be much more helpful than the other two.

As the work of the High Wind Citadel was shortened, the members of the Conference rejuvenated remarkably.

“On this occasion, we need to move our reserve troops to prepare for a single incident in the Gulf. With this deployment, we cannot resiliently respond to the imperial aggression. ”

“When the Reservists move to the Node, we have to modify all the plans we have made! So it would be better to mobilize the rear troops to fill the gap between the reserve and the reserve! ”

“This war, we must see it long! We need to draw some time from the front lines just in case of a prolonged battle! It is after that that that we will deploy our troops to the rear! ”

Suddenly, he came and went. High Castle was a Jeshua, and at the same time they threw themselves at each other.

Even the most distant knights were reluctant to express their opinions, and even if the king's opinions were vague, they could not refute them. No one thought of it strangely, nor did they regard it closely.

Intense debate, self-indulgence that was not bound by identity and command could not exist.

They only yearned for victory and gathered their opinions with one heart.

I didn't care about anything else.

They seemed to have lived up to this day to win the war against the Empire.

It reminded me of an old memory.

The kingdom of the past was just like that.

The meeting was concluded while the audience was locked in.

Me and the knights decided to ride the non-dragon to the vicinity of the front line before sunrise tomorrow morning.

As the storm of the High Wind Citadel was so urgent, I and the knights decided to ride the non-dragon to the vicinity of the front two days later in time for sunrise.

The king has sent a dark glance at me as everyone has left.

“Dothrin will never forget your commitment. ”

It was not to be expected. Later, when the kingdom stood up indignantly against the Empire, Dothrin would be a great force.

The king reached out.

I held firm hands and exchanged views with each other.

The king's eyes were filled with favor.

* *

Precipitation changed rapidly between days.

The wizards of the Empire, who have not been shown until now, have been put on the battlefield of Dagger and emptied Dothrin's strongholds.

The communication between the fortress and Pluto has been blocked for a long time.

“But will you go? ”

The king asked again.

My answer was the same, even if I asked a few times.

Dolosis and Jean Kathryn came to me and begged me to fight. The second prince Kislan, who saw me when I first came to Pluto, thanked me for coming to see me.

And it's been another day.

I walked down the corridor of Pluto, looking at the world outside the window where the earthy spider was still dark.

After a long walk, there was a wide clearing.

And there were non-dragon knights.

Knights in ancient blue uniforms drew their swords together.

Ooooooooooooooooooo.

The glorious light that drives away the dark earthy spider gathers at the tip of their sword.

"May the young lion of Leonberger have some luck! ”

The knights shouted loudly.

It was a mild journey.

But I also liked it.

I stretched my shoulders and walked confidently between them.

“Please, I wish you all the best. ”

“We'll be joining you soon. ”

Every passing moment, the knights bowed their heads and spoke a word.

Some wished us victory and luck, others thanked us on their behalf for heading to the fortress in danger. Some also pledged that they would see it at any time.

They all passed by and came before the king.

King Dothrin said to me with a nasty smile.

“I hope the Veil Mercenaries' anonymity spreads across the continent. ”

I couldn't smile or frown at it.

I just faced the king's firm hand without saying a word.

“Death to the enemy! Only victory and glory are there for Dothrin's opponents! ”

Hearing the shrieks of the knights, I went up to the horse.

I looked back.

Dothrin's kings and knights were looking at us in the same way.

I lowered my head and ran after the driver.

I left Pluto and passed through the gates of the royal palace again. And for a little while more, the non-dragons came to the hillside.

There I abandoned my horse and climbed the non-dragon.

“Hold on tight! ”

Viyong roars hard and flies up.

The earth was quickly distanced, and the great Pluto became invisible within.

At last, when I was in the high places of the sky, the sun came up.

We turned our backs on the sun, heading west.

And he finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, not far from the battlefield.

At that time, the year that had already risen high had passed.

“That's all I got. Please have some luck. ”

The non-dragon knight who taught us a short greeting flew up to heaven. Then he pivoted a few laps over his head and disappeared to the east as it was.

“I will guide you.”

After a while, Dothrin's mountain infantrymen, who were waiting nearby, appeared and led our group.

I followed them, and I saw a tingling sound.

I breathed with all my might.

The intense innards of blood and iron dig deep into the lungs.

Hemicephaly.

His heart began to beat.

Now I can only realise that I'm on the battlefield.

Fresh!

That's when dozens of flames rose above the sky.

I unwittingly followed the red trajectory and raised my head.

The darkness filled my son-in-law for a moment.

The shadow of a fortress standing in the far plains is revealed.

Dozens of strands of fire fell over that huge shadow.

Bang!

The fire soared here and there.

The fireworks were full.

And the appearance of the battlefield was revealed.

Half-waved glottis, the walls that collapsed there.

There was a fortress just before the fall.

Eli told me.

It's crazy to jump in there right now.

I drew a sword instead of an answer.

I have Earth on my left hand, dragon slayer on my right.
