“Draw your swords, all but the knights guarding Tarien. We're going into the center! Make way!”

A deputy commanded by Tarien shouted in a loud voice, and most of the knights, except a handful of knights, moved ahead of the soldiers with their swords drawn.

Now I know all about the soldiers and knights of the 7th Special Forces. Fighting together is efficient.

“Charge!! ”

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Kill it! Kill it! ”

The center entry may not be good for the soldiers, but luckily, the response is not bad because he was strong enough.

Me and the 7th Special Forces troops made a staggered march around the knights and attempted a central advance.

‘You're not running away alone this time. ’

Tarien finally has an idea. This time, the one who ran like the wind was moving slowly from the center.

Bang, bang.

The moment I turned my head in peace, someone put their hand on my shoulder.

“Haha, you're with me. ”

“ ……? ”

He's an old knight. He encouraged me to join him with a smile similar to the smile of his neighbor's grandfather.

“Oh, Knight... Yes, I understand. ”

‘Why this knight.... ’

An old knight who looks like the best knight in the world.

He doesn't seem pleased to be approaching intimately.

‘Damn……. ’

Today I tried to practice using it properly on the battlefield.

Yesterday, even the central battlefield doesn't need the help of the knights as long as the soldiers are behind me, thanks to the increased stats.

It's dangerous to use errors, isn't it? ’

If I used the error in front of him, who is a minimum error class prosecutor, there's a good chance he'll find out I'm an error user right away.

‘... We have to avoid that no matter what. ’

“Kuauaak!”

“…… It caught on well. ”

When the mood falls sharply, an unfamiliar Evelin lunges at you with a giant arm.

Monster slaughter is perfect for unwinding a broken mood.

“Kwaaaah!”

Boo!

The Evelin tries to attack, aiming at multiple parts like a monster that can use four giant arms at the same time.

‘Head, legs. ’

A point of attack that you don't need to see.

I surrendered to my instincts, took a step back, dodged an attack on the bridge, leaned back and pushed forward, and his final attack passed from side to side.

“Now it's my turn, right? ”

“Kuaaaak!”

Evelin seems to be complaining that he hasn't.

The moment he tried to recover his swinging arm.

It's my turn! Pierce Through ’

Phew!

A punch to the heart by digging a hole.

“Grrrgh!”

Evelin, who was pierced through the heart, tried to grab me with his mighty life force.

Shake it off!

When I applied power to the sword, I felt my heart breaking with his envelope, vividly transmitted through my fingertips.

Oh, man!

At that time, I heard a clapping sound in my ears that did not suit me on the battlefield.

“I knew it! You're no ordinary soldier! What a hit! ”

“... I was lucky. ”

Looking back, the old knight smiling gladly at me gave me goosebumps.

‘Somehow... I wondered why they wouldn't help me. ’

He was watching me and Evelyn fight without pulling out his sword.

What if the monsters that came at us were stronger than Evelyn?

‘If I had, there's a good chance I would have used the error without my knowledge. ’

In fact, my heart and head, which were beating hot, were cold.

‘It's important to remember that the old knight is staring. ’

“Kaiyan, what is your original profession? Mercenaries or soldiers? ”

“Yes? Ah……. ”

It's a job. It's kind of a crazy question to ask a 15-year-old kid in a small town.

“That's okay. Make yourself comfortable. ”

“I... tried to be a farmer. Before that, there was no other job. ”

“Hmm? What? ”

“The farmer... ”

“ ……. ”

My answer made the old knight look ridiculous. So what did you expect from a 15-year-old?

In order to live in a small village, it is natural that there is no answer except farming, unless you become a civil servant like your father.

“I see... Then how long have you learned the sword? Did your parents teach you that? Maybe he was a mercenary?”

“No. I first learned it on the battlefield. Through Jeff over there... through Calais. ”

“Yes… wait! First time? No, does that mean you didn't use a sword before? ”

“Well, you could say that. Ah! I used a window for a while. The Training Hall showed me how to use a spear before sending it here. ”

“Haha... Haha... ”

The old knight was embarrassed, spewing a vain laugh like he had just received more shock than before.

‘Yes, it's amazing. I'm still amazed. ’

His mind understands a little.

It is natural to be surprised as long as you do not know the player system. I'm surprised to see myself growing up every day.

“A genius who only listens to words.... ”

“Yes?”

“… No. What will you do when the war is over? ”

Why are you asking me so anxiously?

The old knight's attention has crossed the line.

What do you think you're doing right now? ’I want to shout.

“Mercenary... I intend to be a mercenary. ”

But unfortunately, I have only one life.

No matter how friendly he is to me, there is no need to be rude to him. I finally got the power I wanted, but I can't die for nothing.

“Mercenaries? Really? Clark, that's great. I told you you were a mercenary! ”

“Huh? Oh, yeah... ”

"Why does he like it so much? Did I say something wrong? ’

I don't know what good it is for an old knight to be a mercenary, but seeing that satisfactory smile made me feel uneasy.

“Let's go catch some monsters. You're behind a lot.”

“I understand.”

At the end of the sentence, the two of us headed back to the front of the formation.

I can't help feeling anxious, but I can't stop catching monsters and leveling them up. I worked hard to hunt monsters at the beginning to get into the middle, but I can't just take them away from the others.

The center advancement of the 7th Special Forces was smooth.

There was a reason why the knights and soldiers joined hands a few days ago, and most of all, thanks to me and the old knight slaughtering monsters first.

“Kuaaaak!”

“Hehe! Hehe! ”

Pa-bak!

He breathed his last breath and leapt toward Bear Wolf, swinging his giant arm, leaning down naturally, avoiding his attack and swinging his sword at the giant leg.

Puhuack!

Scar on a severely severed leg.

He also took a step back, wiggling his enormous body, even though the shock was too intense.

“Whew…! ”

“Cough!! Kuaaaak!”

Bearwolf, excited by the pain, turns to face me, leaving the soldiers who were trying to come after me.

He's a soldier's attack. It's hard to inflict fatal injuries, so you'll think I'm the only one who can handle him.

“Not this way, the other way. ”

“Kuaak?”

An old knight leans high behind Bear Wolf's head. Impossible jump height if not the strength of the error.

The tall man sent me a smile and swung the sword he raised, and his huge neck fell out without even screaming.

Kuoooo!

Grass blooming dust when a giant head falls.

“If I get caught by mistake, I'm going to get hurt bad. ”

Bear Wolf, of course, was the size of a head that fell off like a heavy one. Soldiers get hurt bad when accidentally run over there.

As I look at his head and think about it, the old knight comes up to me with his sword on his shoulder.

“Well done. I see your hands and feet match. Don't you think?”

“Haha… Yes. ”

‘I don't know why, but I don't know why you're being so friendly to me. ’

If you ask me to pick my best friend right now, I'm an old knight.

The problem is, if you ask me to pick the most uncomfortable article, it's also an old one.

I liked that he was good at it, but I was uncomfortable with the excessive attention. However, the old knight followed me around, but we both fit very well, as he said.

"How ironic..."

While shaking your head, you shout in wonder if any of the 7th Special Forces soldiers have found anything.

“Hmm? Why are the Orcs in the middle? Look at that! ”

“What are you talking about? Why are Orcs in the middle? It's real.”

“Orcs have appeared! ”

‘Orcs? Those Orcs are in the middle? ’

Turn your head and look where the soldier is pointing. There are Orcs there, really.

“What the hell? Orcs really showed up. ”

Orcs have appeared on the starboard side of the central army. There are so many Orcs that I don't think we should call them "legions," or "too many."

“... Why? ”

Orcs aren't supposed to be on the central battlefield.

The central battlefield is a place where large grades battle from the smallest to the smallest. Something doesn't feel right about a small monster in such a place.

“Haha... This monster wave is so fun. It's not that easy to do this in a row. ”

When I had questions, the old knight beside me made a hollow smile as if he knew why.

I didn't say anything to him, but let's look at the old knight with curiosity in his eyes.

“... Hmm? Are you curious?”

“Yes, I am curious. ”

The old knight smiled and opened his mouth to see if my desperate eyes worked.

“There's only one case where Orcs appear on the central battlefield in Gamian. That's when Orc Road showed up. ”

“Orc Road...? ”

As I understand it, Lord is another name for the noble more than the nobleman himself. But to an Orc, Lord? I didn't hear there was such a monster.

“Huh... You're good with a sword, but you don't know much about it. Don't you know Orc Lord, the monster of the name? ”

“Oh, yeah. I lived in a small town.... ”

“Well, that could work. Orc Lord is a nobleman leading Orcs. That's why they call him Lord. Oh, a king, I suppose. ”

I'm amazed. Orcs have kings, too. That means Orcs are a classroom society.

‘Then... those Orcs on the outskirts must be of terminal rank. ’

“What's on your mind? ”

“Oh, no. What's so special about Orc Lord anyway? Like a giant monster...”

According to the old knight, there's something different about Orcs that makes me the king.

If the Orc Road is as big as a super-sized monster, I asked with a little relief because I can once again observe the actions of the elite troops.

“No. Just a little stronger than a regular Orc, no big difference." ”

“... So there's nothing dangerous about the Orc Lord showing up? ”

“Haha, that's not it either. If it's true that he showed up, it's dangerous. ”

It was hard to understand the old knight's words as they changed back and forth. I'm a little stronger than an Orc, but I don't know what's dangerous.

There's no reason to be in danger because of just one Orc here, full of knights.

“He's got Shaman with him. ”

“Shaman... You mean a monster that uses magic? ”

As Shaman, I remember hearing it from Jeff.

It's different from magic, but there were monsters that used similar powers in some ways, and Shaman was the one who referred to them collectively.

I tapped my shoulder as if the old knight was great. It can't be that big of a deal.

“Oh! You know Shaman! You don't know everything. Yeah, the monsters that use that spell. ”

“… I overheard it. Then why is it dangerous for Shaman to show up? We have many wizards on our side. ”

I've never actually seen Shaman, but Jeff said they weren't that great.

‘I thought you said magic was subordinate to magic...’

I heard that if you fight the Wizard, you will always lose. Those bastards would be enough combat wizards in the Alliance to take on one another, but I couldn't understand why they were so dangerous.

“Klael, I don't care how many Shamans there are just subjugating Orc tribes. Just sweep it away in no time. ”

“… is that so? Then why....”

“But not on monster waves. It's because of the nature of spells that allow you to cast any number of spells without consuming a lot of power, unlike magic. ”

“That means...”

“Tens of thousands of Orc troops, not Orc tribes, show tremendous strength. Look over there.”

Calm your nerves and look where the old knight is pointing, just now an Orc army and a central army are colliding.

“… Huh? ”

But the situation went weird.

Unlike what I expected, the central army was unable to escape the classics, as the old knight said.

“Why?”

Orcs are small monsters, even if they have the power of magic.

I can't believe the Orcs have finally defeated the Central Force, which is unilaterally driven by even the biggest monsters.

“Hmm, dangerous. I took too much damage against the Basilisks yesterday. If we take any more damage... we might have to take the wire to a secondary location. ”

As the old knight calmly said, the number of the Central Army was reduced quite a bit yesterday by the battle.

If Command had an idea, they would have needed backup, but the problem is that monster waves don't only happen in one place.

‘I'm coming all the way from the Soldier Training Center in the middle...' ’

It took me at least a week to walk from there to here, I think.

That means at least a week now soldiers have to stop the monster waves somehow.

‘... We must stop it here at all costs. ’

There was a way to cut the wire like the knight said, but it was inevitable.

The second point is behind the Ruios Plain, where there are several villages where people live.

If the Allied forces bite the wire, their village will be destroyed by monsters and many will die. Just like our village did.

‘… I can't let that happen. ’

“Knight, how can we help the Central Army? ”

I desperately asked the old knight. I hope you give me some answers.

“A way... First of all, there's a way to keep hunting monsters. ”

“ ……. ”

This isn't very helpful right now.

Even if the 7th Special Forces are hard at hunting monsters, less than one percent of the impact on the actual battlefield.

“And… how to catch the Orc Road. But the Orc Road will remain hidden among the Orcs. It's really hard to find him. ”

“Ah! C-can 't an elite unit stand up?" Wouldn't they be able to find Orc Lord and Shaman and hunt them down? ”

I asked the old knight, half-expectant.

The Allied forces still have cards left. An elite unit. Once they do, we should be able to reverse the situation enough.

“Klael, this will be a big help, but they won't be able to get out. ”

But the words from the old knight's mouth are a lie.

“… Why? Soldiers are still dying. ”

I asked the old knight secretly because my emotions were heightened.

That sounds really stuffy. I can't believe the central army's ranks are being breached right now and people can't get out of the way to fix it.

“First of all, calm down. ”

The old knight tapped my shoulder and said in a soft voice, not angry.

“They have literally joined the war for a very large monster. What do you think would happen if they showed up with a huge monster while they were out looking for Orc Road? ”

“..... Huge monsters. ”

“Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

“Yes...”

It was only after hearing the kind description of the old knight that I realized I was in a hurry.

‘An elite army made for hunting enormous monsters. ’

The Orcs are being attacked by the Central Army right now, but it's very small compared to yesterday's brief damage to Basilisks.

If they use their power to hunt the Orc Lord, what happens when a very large monster appears...

‘Then the Central Army will be wiped out. ’

“I'm sorry... I just wanted to help... ”

“No, I understand your mind. But there's no way we can help them right now. As long as we don't know where the Orc Road is. ”

The old knight said that his eyes flashed momentarily.

‘The location of Orc Road……. ’

The old knight said, on the contrary, that if you only knew the location of the Orc Lord, you could help the Central Army.

“Knight! Will you... will you watch over me for a moment? I know it's a lot to ask, but... please. ”

“Hmm? I don't know what's going on, but I do. ”

“Thank you!”

The old knight gladly accepted my excessive request.

A Strange Request from a Knight to Protect a Soldier on the battlefield. But now I desperately needed the help of an old knight.

"Shop window!"

I quietly summoned the store, the Universal Treasure Depot.

…… if you have a huge list of stores that seem to sell everything that exists in the world!
