247 247. 71. Prince's virtues (2)

The size of the Punitive Force was never small.

The number of regular knights mobilized amounted to about 400, compared to about 400 of the four knights in the royal ranks.

After that, the number of soldiers was also 1 Troop of the Central Army and 2 Troops of the Balahard Rangers.

A total of 3200 troops.

That wasn't the end.

The royal family mobilized all the nobles except the court knight commander in this subjugation.

That's how much the king takes this matter seriously.

The king's will was firm.

He did not want the catastrophe in Count Branburg to spread throughout the kingdom, and he wanted it to end as quickly as possible.

The Punitive Force began to move as quickly as possible, reflecting the king's will.

Vincent will cut his troops to five first. Each unit included experienced longtime rangers to prepare for subsequent monster trails and confrontations. and caused the lions to judge them.

“You will go to different parts of the world, not to Count Branburg. ”

It was one of the Earls of Branburg who sent messengers to the royal palace, but Vincent did not exclude the possibility that other territories were already in similar danger.

This was entirely consistent with the king's intention to end the chaos as quickly as possible, following my warning that non-human things would happen throughout the kingdom.

I gathered the silver lions who were on their way.

“Don't miss a little clue. Even if you think it's a blurry rumor, be sure to check it out. ”

I stared at them one by one, stiffened a few times and asked for it.

“Everything that's going to happen from now on will be a mystery you've never experienced before. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“Whatever it is, it's more bizarre than what we've been through in the water. ”

The short but powerful answer was Arwen's, and the grumpy answer was Eli's.

Yoke Wiloden and other knights also promised to keep my words brief.

“I'll see you soon. ”

At the end of Arwen's greeting, the gifted departed from the herd.

Now the rest of the gifted lion by my side was good and gentle, but only the uncontrollable woman whose eyes turned when she saw the blood.

“You don't have to stay in a stuffy wagon anymore. ”

As the silver lions leave with their troops, Vincent's voice is heard behind his back.

“He said he was being escorted. ”

“There is no law that the escort will always be in the wagon. ”

Vincent, who answered so, added a word.

“And what, then? I don't even have eyes. ”

He smiled as he revealed it.

I looked around with a smile.

Jorden and the ancient rangers were looking at me and looking at me. The Knights of the Winter Knights have sent a dark glance. Guerwain and the knights of the Dawn Knights glanced at me.

I'm sick and tired of everyone being used to each other.

It was only then that I realized that all those left here were pure winter troops.

“It's been a long time. ”

“Please feel free. Please don't forget that your mission is to appease your anxiety. ”

As I laughed and said, Vincent touched me and walked away.

“So we're moving as fast as we can. It's a big deal if monsters move elsewhere. ”

The Punitive Force, which paused for a moment in Vincent's chanting, began to move again.

Light rangers and tireless northern knights moved day and night.

It was not long before I could reach the boundaries of Count Branburg.

“Squadron Commander Jordan. ”

“Yes, Lord. ”

“I'll give you half the rangers, so let the Count know our faction in advance. Start exploring right after. ”

Now Vincent was the Duke, but the Rangers of Winter Castle treated him as just a saint, as if they weren't inside.

Vincent didn't seem to want to correct his title either.

“What if I find a clue about the whereabouts of monsters in a year? ”

Jorden asked.

Monsters who haven't settled yet can't stay in one place, so it won't be easy to track their tracks again if they don't move.

“I will leave everything you do to your judgment, whether you go after them or engage them. If necessary, you may sell my name and ask for the support of Count Brandenburg. ”

Vincent replied to Jorden without hesitation.

You could have misjudged the monster or injured the rangers, but it was extremely unlikely.

Jorden was a long-serving ranger in the winter castle.

"Then we'll leave right away. ”

Jordanian turned his back, and he came back and stood before me.

“Don't be too upset if I take care of everything for you. Ah, you were a non-combatant on this mission. I keep forgetting."

This is exactly what you need to do when you leave the base.

Seeing that ugly look, I wanted to reach out right away and stop the stuttering.

“Jordan.”

But instead of stopping him, I smiled softly.

“You've been through a lot. ”

“I just want to thank you for knowing. ”

“But what can I do? This time, it's going to be even more painful. ”

“Yay. It's hard work. I'm always doing it. Nothing new. ”

A playful ranger looks down and passes in front of me.

“Well, I'm busy with my mission. Let's go, boys! ”

Jordanian shouts, and the ancient rangers clump and cling behind him.

“I have to move the squadron. I can't live under that man. ”

“The uniform exploded. Very good.”

“Shut up! Follow me! ”

The same landscape as always, Jordanian confronts the ancient rangers and soon disappears from sight.

They mutter in a smaller, disappearing direction.

“You're going to have a really hard time. ”

I mourned the harsh day that will come for the Rangers.

And when exactly two weeks had passed since I met Count Branburg and finished comforting him about what had happened in the Territory, the face of the reunited Ranger was exactly as I had hoped.

I couldn't sleep for a few days, so I couldn't find a pair of gruesome molars that were soaking up the rain that had poured out for a few days.

I couldn't sleep, and I suffered a lot. Jorden came out and caught Vincent and burned him.

“I've never seen such a strange person live in the world. ”

The last two weeks have passed from the mouth of the Ranger.

At first, it was good. The monsters that left traces in Oman without the need to investigate and shoot everywhere were making things easier.

In fact, Jorden's face was not even a bit of a new breeze after three days of walking out of the castle.

“There was a sudden rain and the trail was cut off. But who am I? You're not the best tracker in winter, are you? How could we use the base to catch their tails again? ”

Jordan, who had not forgotten the self-hymn, said he was tired of complaining with a tired face.

“These guys run all day. I really don't sleep and run. It keeps running even though the ground looks like this. If they hadn't kept hovering around here, they'd have missed it. ”

Until then, Vincent, who was still listening to Jordan, opened his mouth for the first time and asked about the identity of the monster.

“I don't know. I couldn't even see what they looked like just following the butt. ”

Pretending to be good at what he was doing, he said to report as much as he could.

Vincent's face hardened in response to that audacious answer.

“But I didn't have any income. ”

A fast Ranger hurriedly said.

“They're going on horseback. ”

“What?”

Vincent frowns.

I deserved it.

Even though I've seen monsters taming wolves, the monsters taming horses must have been the first door.

“That's why I thought it was weird. I doubt the Demon Swarm will disguise itself as a monster and make a fuss. But when they see the rest of the feces and the leftovers in their place, that's not it. ”

Jorden, who spilled his words like an excuse, questioned me about something else I don't understand.

When I asked him what it was, he said,

"I never get off these horses. They eat on horses, they sleep on horses. ”

I never heard of a monster eating and sleeping on a horse.

As soon as I heard that, something came through my head.

“It's them.”

Vincent and Jorden look back at me, muttering in indifference.

“Do you have any guesses? ”

I nodded at Vinset's question.

I asked Jorden to let me know right away, ignoring his gaze.

There were some things I didn't understand.

Jordanian words accurately pointed to one of the old beings I knew. But the catastrophe I heard before I came here was not in keeping with their personality.

That's why I wanted to check.

“While you were tracking them, they raided the town once. ”

Jordan shakes his head in response to my question.

I didn't even have time to raid the village running all day.

I frowned.

I've been thinking about it for a while. Then I finally found the answer.

“You were chasing the wrong guys. ”

Jorden rebuked me.

I don't think so. Of the remaining traces in the vicinity, only traces of things that were neither animals nor humans were pursued by them.

Vincent comes out and looks at Jordan alternately.

Hearing what the Rangers have to say, I feel like I've never missed a word. Hearing me, I like the judgment of an experienced ranger.

I rarely noticed which one of them was right.

But Vincent's troubles didn't last long.

“A village four days west of here is once again ruined! ”

A messenger from Count Branburg came and told me the answer.

Jorden looked at me.

As hardened as he was, his face was full of questions.

It was natural.

The target that Jordan was chasing was neither west nor four days away.

“Vincent.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Vincent, who was locked in his mind with a lot of impressions, answered me straight away.

“I think we should redistribute the troops. ”

Then I suggested to him to share his troops.

Vincent frowned at my words.

“What are the identities of the people who raided the town, and what are the identities of the people we were after? ”

“I don't know the identity of those who raided the town yet. ”

I didn't have a jaw that I couldn't even see for myself.

Vincent became a disappointed face.

But he also, for a moment, immediately asked me with his eyes open.

“That sounds like you know who we're after. ”

“Almadada.”

The faces of those who were dark were brightened.

It was a good thing that even one of the monstrous beings who appeared suddenly in the kingdom knew who they were.

“What the hell. ”

On Vincent's question, I turned my head and saw something Jordan had said.

“As a virtue to sprint, as a sin to stand still. A people who call themselves the sons and daughters of the stormy wind. A clan of warriors bravely born to be born. ”

I saw such a vast plain and told them who they were.

“Kentaurus.”

Anti-personnel horses are who we've been chasing.

“I knew that they would never raid humans for no reason, nor covet the flesh. If they're handsome and ugly, they're hallucinating too. ”

He said so and urged Vincent.

Divide the troops. It's that way. It's not this way. Let's go before the damage grows.

“Don't worry about me. Hurry up."

I continued to hurt Vincent.

He continued to see that he could prevent innocent damage by rushing the road as quickly as possible, and that he could not think of anything else.

Vincent, who looked at me with suspicious eyes, finally made up his mind.

“I'll leave the Winter Knights and half of you by your side, just in case. ”

Vincent told Carls who was standing behind me.

“Sir, may I take you back to the writing of Branburg. ”

While I was on my way, I was also told to keep an eye out for useless things.

“I don't think that's what the parties are saying. ”

“I'll be back as soon as I can. ”

Vincent, who left a word with his face anxious to bear without even measuring what I heard, hurriedly left the road ahead of the messenger.

“The Kentauros I was chasing are the ones I've heard about in the past...”

Looking back, I heard Jorden's voice.

“But in the story, they were quite ruthless. You don't actually do that? ”

In response to his question, I nodded a little.

“Kentaurus is a coward, but not ruthless enough to wreak havoc. ”

When the Centaurs flew ruthlessly, there must have been a reason.

And that was in extremely rare cases.

They were generally not hostile to humans.

It was a very exceptional case that they were hostile to humans and revealed it.

However, that was the case now.

“You said you weren't hostile to humans! ”

Jorden yells at me.

“That's usually the way it is. ”

“Then what is it! ”

On the other side of the plain, where the Ranger's fingers point, a distant globe is blooming.

Below the distant globe, there were fifty anti-Semites running here.

Rusty horse-drawn spear, unrelenting roar. They will overcome enemies and murders that no one can see.

“Ranger combat ready! Big shot!”

“Brain loading! ”

“Escort Your Majesty! ”

I chose Earth over those who surrounded me with rangers and Karls.

This is a force majeure.

I muttered a little and turned my gaze toward the distant earth that was flowing beyond my knights and rangers.

There was a giant Kentaurus at the forefront of the Eudillac.

A semi-personal horse with a bronze crown on its lower body, a copper-human corpse, and a bronze head.

The clumsy Swordmaster is a hero of the clan who has the power to make blood loaf in an instant.

He was the prince of Centaurus.

His eyes stare straight at me.

He said so with a light on the sword.

"Out of the way."

The knights who saw the glowing Earth opened their paths in astonishment.

So I ran without hesitation beyond the path they had opened.

“Follow Your Majesty! ”

I heard the voices of the knights behind my back.

Anti-personnel horses roar in front of them.

And in one of them, I said,

“That's good!”

I smiled widely.
