“Kill them all, right? ”
[Shouldn't we? Spending G points on this kind of thing is a bit...]
I've already caught assassins fighting to find out who's behind it.
However, unlike the Chapel Guild of Manislan, they took the poison and killed themselves without hesitation whether they were quite loyal or limited.
But I didn't want to use the poor G-points like Rika said.
“Phew... Then we'll have to kill him. ”
You look at the knights guarding Mayand once and draw your sword at the assassins.
“Come in first. Otherwise you won't even have a chance to swing a sword. ”
Quadruple.
Either Taunt worked or they felt there was no other way. They grabbed the dagger and rushed in.
Without the usual hissing and the sound of wielding swords.
‘They're getting better and better. ’
It didn't make much difference, but they were definitely more assassins than the ones who ran before.
An expression that does not show up despite being embarrassed by the error wing. And especially that noiseless movement.
Puss.
An unbelievably quiet sound like the sound of the ground.
I dug in and swung my sword at the bastards.
Puhhhhh!
“Cough...! ”
“Cough!”
Their swords split in half, vomiting blood, and they did not look angry as they fell.
Just the look of pain in your eyes that you are cut by the sword.
I wonder if they're really people if they're not choked up by pain.
Is this really an assassin? ’
Shadows from the Chapel Guild and Marcaine.
Moreover, as long as they had senses, they thought it was nothing, dealing with assassins who had been raided several times on their way to Koya territory, but they changed their minds a little.
"Ordinary people without senses... It would be dangerous if they were after us. ’
I can barely hear a sound. And live a life with a little bit of sword.
Who wouldn't be in danger if these guys decided to go for it?
“That's too bad. If it wasn't for me, I would have fulfilled my mission. ”
In my words, only three of the remaining assassins had their teeth sharpened.
“... kill the quest targets in Sections 2 and 3. I'll take care of him. ”
“Yes.”
The masked man who finished speaking threw himself at me as if he wasn't afraid of death.
Seeing the attack before, he sacrificed himself to kill Mayand.
As he seemed to create an opportunity, the two remaining masks tried to leap to my sides.
At that moment, we draw out the error and swing it across twice.
Chuaaaaak!
“ ….? ”
“This is my real skill. ”
“… Yikes. ”
The masks' bodies simultaneously split into three pieces and fell to the ground.
Those who died without even realizing they were cut by the sword too soon.
‘Obviously, I've become stronger since I risked my life to fight the Iraqi. ’
To be precise, I felt the sword grow once more.
Of course, the skill itself didn't grow, but when you wield it, you feel something different.
I felt faster and more sophisticated.
“Ugh...! Whew!”
Looking back at the strange sounds, it was quite cruel to young Mayand, and he was spitting out what he had on the floor. Problem is.
“Phew... Phew...”
“Hmmm...”
The problem was that the four knights guarding Mayand were no different from him.
It's true that assassins with strong bodies look quite disgusting, but I can't believe that's what knights do.
[Maybe they really... became knights with money?]
I nodded secretly at Rieka's words.
“It could be true. ”
* * *
It's been three days since I rode a horse to the land of Rko.
I looked at the dark sky and wondered about the energy of assassins I didn't feel.
“It's quiet today. ”
[Really? Those bastards that were running around yesterday.]
Now, even though Koya City is near, I have not been attacked even once in a strange day.
Yesterday, if I tried to take a break, I'd see the bastards repeating themselves.
“Mayand, Koya, is the city still far away? ”
“Almost there. After this hill, you'll see Koya City. ”
“Hmm... I see. ”
Am I wrong? ’
Of course, I thought the moment when they focused their best efforts on attacking Koya was about to enter the city.
Once Mayand enters Koya territory, no matter how many assassins try to attack the city. Moreover, the knights sent by Leco and the Lord will be waiting there.
‘Still, they won't attack... I'm not worried about it.’
If things go as expected, all you have to do is deal with the attackers, but when you realize how difficult it is for the assassins, you feel uneasy.
I don't know where they're playing.
‘We must hold Mayand's side until we reach the border with Leco. ’
When I looked at Mayand, he was quite excited about returning to the territory.
If you look at him like this, even though he is definitely a nobleman, a young boy.
Even though pirates and assassins are after themselves, they still look that bright.
“Oh! Koya City! Mayand! Koya City! ”
A few steps ahead of the group, Ferrion shouts if he has found Koya City.
Then let's push the nigger over the hill and look ahead.
“... so small? ”
This is the city? It looks like a town...]
A crude gate made of wood, not just small walls and iron gates.
Considering the size of the city from afar, the size of the city is less than expected.
“Mayand, is this really Koya's city? Not a village?”
“Haha... Koya territory is the baron's command. Not bad for a baroness. ”
“Even the baron's orders... What a pity. I was looking forward to it.”
When I saw Marcaine Castle, I thought it was as humble as the Baron, but it was like Hwang Sung compared to Koya Castle in front of me.
As I was staring at the city in disappointment, Mayan came to me with a look of apology.
“Mr. Kaiyan, the Kingdom of Shaniel doesn't invest much money in castles. But if you go to Rico and territory, it's much better than here, so you can expect it. ”
“You don't invest money in castles? The vanity of the nobles? ”
“Hmmm... I'm a nobleman, too. ”
“No, but why don't you invest money in the castle? ”
Yeah, now that I think about it, it's a little weird.
There were no well-populated castles in the territory and Teron anti-rescue vehicles.
‘Those two places... I thought they were for a different reason: the harbor and the intermediate node. ’
However, as Mayan has said, both of them and Shaniel, including Koya territory, are like this.
It was hard for me to understand how much money the nobles had invested in the castle while traveling around the territories as mercenaries.
“I... I don't have anything to use. ”
“There's nothing to do... Ah! I see. The Wall won't be much use in Shaniel. ”
Why? Why aren't you using it?]
Gamian, and why do the Panybloon countries invest money in the walls? Just because it's cool?
Storming monsters on a regular basis.
Moreover, in the case of monster waves that occur every 10 years, the momentary push will be instantaneous if there are no walls.
And that's not the end of the problem. Sometimes a territorial war or a war between countries breaks out, the walls are not an option, but a must. But...
“Antigas is very different from the others. Especially if it's Shaniel. ”
“That's right. It's not that there are no terrestrial monsters... It's just a number I don't really care about, and there's very little war with other nations in the ocean." ”
It took 27 days to get here, no matter how far from the southwest of the Garten Empire it was.
That means it'll take 10 days, maybe more, from the north.
But will the other countries of Antigas really invade Shaniel? After everything you've been through?
Besides, the Kingdom of Shaniel is like a brace for anti-gas monster waves.
Even if you win the war and eat the Kingdom of Shaniel, it is a loss.
“A country nobody wants. Thanks to you, you're doing well with these crude walls. ”
“Yes? That's not all! How traditional is the Kingdom of Shaniel...”
You jostle a nigger toward the city, leaving Mayand screaming behind.
As Mayan has said, the city may not be the only wall in the world.
Da-da-da-da.
As I approached the gate with my senses wide open just in case, one of the soldiers who was leaning against the window opened his eyes in horror.
“Nu, who are you? ”
“I'm a mercenary.”
“Well, I see. ”
The soldier lowers his spear, yawning, and approaches.
“Ugh! I'm so frustrated. What brings you to Koya Castle at this late hour? I don't think mercenaries need to hear this anymore. ”
“I was just passing by. ”
“Coming through... by yourself? ”
“We have company. ”
“Who are they... Ugh! ”
He raises his hand behind his back to the soldier who appears to be still awake or dull. He looks at Myand and other knights and falls in horror.
“Ki, the knight? I made a mistake! ”
A soldier with an elongated head who says he has committed a mortal sin.
Whenever I see this, I feel uneasy about how the continent is a hierarchical society.
Even if I slap this soldier's head because he and his knights are obnoxious, no one will say a word.
“That's enough. Can we go inside now?" ”
“Yes, of course! ”
As he walked past the gate behind the soldier, Koya's city caught my eye.
“This is Koya City. ”
An invisible place except for the baron's castle, or a tall building.
In addition, the buildings that are old and old look quite old. If you don't manage it well, it won't be so weird when it collapses.
[This is the worst terrain I've ever seen.]
“Yeah. It's a little serious. ”
Is the Kingdom of Shaniel always like this, or is it just here?
People who move around busy, dressed in gorgeous clothes. Unlike other kingdoms, their expressions are dark because they are not dark.
“Mayand, don't you think this is a nice place to live? The civilians don't look so good. ”
“It's going to be hard to eat, so there's no choice. The sea is not within reach of the territory. That doesn't mean there are mountains...”
“What does it matter? You can build a farm. ”
Everywhere people go, farming is the way people eat and live.
If it were Shaniel, it'd be no different.
“It doesn't matter where the capital is, but farming is hard in these suburbs. The wind brings salt and kills all the crops. ”
“I see... You're quite clever, aren't you? ”
I was quite surprised that the nobleman Mayand knew more about his unrelated work than the fact that it was difficult to farm because of salt.
Regular nobles rarely think of commoners.
“Hmmm...! I'm going to build a land that my people can feed themselves later. These are the basics! ”
“Fill it up... I'm going to build a land that the common people dream of." ”
She looks proud and smiles at Mayand, raising her nose.
I think I got the right quest. And the fact that I can help him.
‘I don't know if I'll keep that in mind later... but I'll help you not lose your dream right now. ’
You glance at the rooftops of the surrounding buildings as Mayand and his knights move towards the center.
If it wasn't for me, they'd be a lot less susceptible to life.
I didn't know you were planning something like this in Koya Castle.
“Kill them all, right? ”
[Shouldn't we? Spending G points on this kind of thing is a bit...]
I've already caught assassins fighting to find out who's behind it.
