“Grrrgh”

“Chief? Are you all right? ”

Nooda wakes up in agonizing pain.

I was curious about his face while examining his body for a while. Most of the wounds are healed, even though they were beaten without cause.

“What's going on here? ”

The answer came from among the servants.

“The pagans called in a healer from the Church or something to heal the chieftain. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Nooda's expression subsides for a moment.

‘I lost. ’

This was the first time he had been defeated since he had earned the title of a warrior and began his life in earnest. There he was pushed from the force, his area of expertise.

Although the shock was hard to express in words, Nua was also a hanger.

“I, the loser! I lost! Hahahahaha!!! ”

Have the chieftains been distracted by the shock of their defeat for a while? He laughed so much that he began to organize his thoughts.

‘To lose is to lose, and to think about the future. ’

Once he cleared his mind of the pain of defeat with a smile, he decided to keep what remained deep in his heart.

“I want to see the leader of the estramorwn who defeated me. Did you say the emperor?”

“When the chieftain woke up, he told me to send word. ”

The crew looks reluctant, but Nooda sends a message right to Yurius.

And the meeting place was set up.

“Thank you for saving my life once you could have killed me. ”

“My terms are allies, aren't they? I did what I had to do. ”

Yurius tries not to take it lightly, but Nooda's thinking is different.

“I'll leave this to you. And!”

Nooda speaks powerfully this time.

“If I'm sure I can beat you, one day I'll apply again. ”

Yurius nods at the opposing team, though it's not much of a threat to the opposing team.

He was always like this. He is responsible for what he says because he is a clumsy person.

“I'm always welcome to battle an unmanned man of your talents. ”

“And I think we should give the Alliance a moment to think about it. I agree, but I have to gather opinions from the alliance tribes……. ”

Yurius nods.

As long as he's in favor of the best warrior in the North, the conclusion doesn't have to wait long.

“Oh, and if you think you owe me, I have a personal favor to ask. ”

“The earlier the debt, the better for me. What are your demands? ”

“Take me inside the mountains where your tribe lives. ”

Nuada looks surprised for a moment. It's rare to bring foreigners into tribes, but if the alliance really works, it shouldn't be that difficult.

However…….

“Shouldn't you be coming with us to attack the Grand Chief Gundar's troops? ”

"This chief is called Gundar, right? That's the first name I've ever heard. ’

Yurius nods.

“Of course, the first task is to drive him out. But the reason I propose an alliance is not simply to eliminate the immigration alliance that came down the mountain. ”

“ ……!? ”

He connects again with a serious look.

“From what I've seen so far, did you say Nooda? You look like you've got a brain. Don't you think it's too bad that you and our empire collide and bleed? ”

Nuda also looks at him with a surprised look.

‘As expected, he didn't just need me to get rid of Gundar. Then he is more reliable. ’

Yurius laughs as he sees Nuada's face turning bright.

‘Yes, it's good to like someone who will lay down with their strength and come up with the plan that they usually think of. ’

However, Nooda was a little skeptical about the solution.

“But I don't think just making peace will solve the food problems of the tribes near the plains.... ”

‘So I'm here to solve it. ’

Yurius asked you to take him to Peak Cliff, where there is a tribe of Lightning Stones in Nuada, once the battle with Gundar is over.

“I'm a little ashamed to say this to a warrior of your size, but it's a place where even I suffer a great disadvantage. ”

It's good to take Nooda, but she insists on following her instructions.

There are many strong warriors in the mountain ranges, including the Lightning Rock tribe, because monsters live in the Northern Mountains, and occasionally it is a dangerous area that shows a strong old receipt that is hard to deal with super-human uninhabited people.

“Well, it's not that hard. ”

Yurius agrees kindly.

So the first meeting with him and the immigration ended, and it didn't take long for Yurius to reach a conclusion.

“You're going deep into the Barbarian lands? ”

The knights made a slight discord on the second condition, but they believed in Yurius anyway. There can be great repulsion.

“You're an immigrant, but I can't help but notice you're quite right about him. I don't think we should worry about getting ambushed all of a sudden. ”

There's nothing more to say about Nuada.

“We have been defeated. Do you have anything else to say? ”

“ ……. ”

The warriors of the North dare not think back against Nooda's words. In addition to his charisma, if he is defeated in a legitimate duel, it is their way to follow the decision of the winner of the party.

“I don't trust foreigners, but I trust chieftains! ”

“I heard Gundar has strange foreigners by his side anyway, at least they decided in our way.... ”

And so their alliance came to a close. It was still an awkward relationship, but a force was created that would become the nucleus of the storm in the Northern Mountains.

By the time Yurius completed his alliance with Nuada.

As he predicted, the northern and tribal alliances led by the Empire and its chief, Gundar, began to clash.

“It will take at least a week for reinforcements to arrive. ”

“Thought the numbers of skilled knights wouldn't be that bad after all, but this time the prediction was completely broken. ”

“Hmm……. ”

The Marquis of Anderson is also troubled by rubbing his beard.

‘I don't know who the head of those Barbarians is, but they've all been beheaded. ’

In fact, he didn't worry much until the first time he gathered his troops and went into all-out war. Isn't that why we sent all the power we could use, including Yurius, to the rear?

‘But it's not so easy after all. ’

He recalls the first day of all-out war.

The late Anderson is a superhuman. Many of the Northern Barbarians knew about it, but they were not systematically trained.

‘Charge through the enemy camp at once, including me. ’

As a superhuman, this is a natural operation.

“Charge!”

“Whoa!!! ”

Two or two!

The hoof thunders and the monarch rushes towards the center of the enemy. Tactics to crush the enemy advance at once and lure them into the rear!

“ ……!? ”

But the prediction was broken. In general, it is impossible to defend against the charge of horsemen, and even the knights who swing the force.

It is because the horse-riding charge of the knights, which adds the strength of the force to the kinetic energy of the running horse, is like a gigantic weapon in one lump.

Kuaaaaang!

The line of Barbarians who tried to defend themselves with their shields collapses at once. Abigail, who was pierced by knights' weapons and crushed by horseshoes.

And that's where the problem started.

The Knights' breakthrough begins now. You can defeat an enemy with a dashing rush at first, but then use the knights' personal force to swing them across.

The collapsed advance can then be easily defeated by regular soldiers.

Boom! Boom!

You feel a trivial pruritus lurking among the shattered corpses, and they rush to the knights.

“Enemy force user is out! Fight back!”

The Knights' primary charge was that their warriors finally appeared among the Barbarians who had sacrificed and stopped the common soldiers.

"A cunning trick to shield a common soldier." But as long as I'm around, it won't work. ’

The mogul picks up his sword and swings it horizontally.

His four-tier tie is heavy pressure! His range of force dominance can be crushed with strong pressure.

Quadruple!

“Cough!”

The Marquis wields his sword, and the earth beats under pressure, and the Barbarians in his range vomit blood and settle as if they were on the ground.

‘It is still as planned. Not a problem. ’

“Hmm?"

The sense of the Marquis trying to direct the charge again with a satisfactory look catches an unparalleled wit.

What are these guys? ’

The Barbarians must be wearing their costumes. Unlike those with crude weapons, they surround him with longswords worthy of knights.

The number was about twenty.

“No way!”

Once more, the Marquis's Bee sweeps them away. However, the results are different.

“ ……. ”

Some remained silent, but not one of them became helpless at all.

Rather, he surrounds the Marquis and counteracts him.

The Marquis's eyes widen.

"Are these all master-class or just below? ’

It is most likely an elite Barbarian chosen to deal with itself.

‘It'll be easier to get rid of all of them here. ’

The Marquis's eyes sparkle with life. His favorite weapon is a giant double-handed sword, usually a knight.

His heavy fist strikes them with sincerity this time.

Long ditch files in a straight line around the trail of the late Marquis's Blade!

Ka Kang!

“ ……!? ”

However, the Marquis's prediction fails again. They were amazingly attached to each other, forming a barrier against the Force, and surviving his attack.

Some can't stand it and vomit blood, but no fatal injuries.

“Hmm?"

They appear to be particularly skilled, as if they knew the delay that would occur once he used a Bigi. Sharp acceptance is what they do.

Chang!

The baron chews his lips with his sword and pushes them away.

‘This won't be easy. ’

Only then did the prince realize that they had mastered this technique professionally.

‘Master, at least ten more...'... What do you mean, there are people there to assist you? ’

The Barbarians must have turned all the elite towards themselves, so it doesn't seem that way after seeing the situation around.

“Kahaha! Quetzawa, the strongest warrior of the Red Feather tribe, is against you! ”

Don't you get it? Are you telling me there were this many northern barbarians? ’

There are a lot of skilled Knights in the squadron who won't be able to easily think of anyone but the group that surrounds him.

Of course he's superhuman. Taking the time to deal with them slowly will kill them all and save their lives, but the plan to break through the enemy has already failed.

“Knights stand down and retreat! Me and a few squad knights will cover your back. ”

Eventually, the first day of the raid did not yield much income.

Barbarians are also fixating on the front because there are no large movements except for occasional small raids.

“We may need a large supply of knights or assistance from additional beginners. ”

“I know. However, we cannot get the knights from the southern front and call the orderlies to guard the king. ”

There is, of course, the Grand Duke of Wilhelm called the Sword, but he is too high for the front lines.

And on this battlefield with the first prince Yurius, I wonder if he will come.

Moreover, when I thought about Yurius, the Grand Duke suddenly came up with other concerns.

“Speaking of which, have you heard from King Yurius? ”

One of the chief of staff shakes his head.

“I've dispatched scouts, but the depths of the mountains are unknown. For now... ”

Yurius said he marched deep into the Northern Mountains leaving only a letter.

[I've found a groundbreaking way to turn the tide. I'll be back with good news at least a month later! It may be against the law of the military, but I will be punished for that sin later.]

The contents of the messenger are brief, but they are hard to ignore.

‘How to turn the tide……. ’

The late Anderson had no choice but to have a vague expectation and concern.

‘Did the Crown Prince predict that things would be this difficult and fall behind him? ’

After all, the Marquis and the Chamberlain only want Yurius' safe return.
