Episode 159
Episode 62. Subjugation Subjugation Subjugation (3)
Behind Igor, the Selove members have formed camps. Except for Aquin and Geisel, everyone was armed with spears and crossbows.
The sword masters, Aquin and Geisel, became the wings of the ranks. Zecca stood still next to Yuma with Sibelin draped over her back.
As soon as we started entering the deep end of the devil’s cave, we saw a troll right away. It was a perfect object to use as a teaching aid.
“Hey Igor! Time to see the results of the two weeks!”
“That kind of thing is a magazine while picking your nose.”
As the crew instigated it, Igor grabbed the spear with both hands and took a stance.
The knights were more surprised by Igor than by the troll in front of them. Igor’s aura energy was unusual.
is that the end?
Most of the Jetten knights who followed the punitive force were sword experts. It was only natural that they were knights who guarded the outskirts, not the center of the territory.
The knights working in or around the lord’s castle were so excellent and strong that there was no need to inform them of the subjugation laws.
“Are you going to pass the time with a troll? Hurry up and hit me!”
When the seniors shouted, Igor started to rush. It looked like a siege tank as it ran like crazy, aiming at the blade of a spear.
The troll couldn’t even counterattack properly and its abdomen was pierced.
“Kara La Rock!”
Dark blood gushed from the troll’s back. Seeing the blood, Igor seemed to get even more excited as he pulled out the stuck spear and swung it furiously.
Huh! Whoa!
The shaft of the spear made a bloody blast and mercilessly slaughtered the troll’s body.
The knights swallowed dry saliva while the troll’s black blood and flesh splattered.
“Hey hey! That’s not it, you bastard! If you pierce the belly button, damage that part! How many times have I told you during training that you shouldn’t be so ignorant!”
However, Selov’s seniors seemed dissatisfied with Igor’s method.
Igor was cutting the troll’s body into pieces with his own strength as a sword master, not with a manual.
“Oh hey hey man and me.”
The worse Geisel strode toward Igor.
The troll had already had its arms cut off and had holes pierced all over its body.
Even so, he didn’t die and was maintaining an attack posture.
As the Geisel approached, Igor, who had just been slicing, looked at him again, becoming a hair-scratching idiot.
“ruler! knights. Take a good look. When dealing with monsters like trolls.
hurt like this Ah, the important thing at this time is that you have to exert at least five times more strength than when you are kicking a normal infantryman.”
Shaak! Geisel’s steel sword cut off the troll’s thigh. Losing balance, the troll fell to the floor and struggled.
Soon after, Geisel pushed the blue blade into the troll’s affected area and continued.
Amidst the silence, the sound of blades ripping the troll’s flesh and grinding bones could be heard.
“And the most important thing is to quickly damage the wound like this. Like this…
Geisel’s blade ripped through the troll’s affected area mercilessly. It was a disgusting scene that the world will never see again.
“Trolls’ regenerative power is beyond imagination anyway, so it’s really inhumane!
Oh, I’m not human anyway. In any case, it has to be done very viciously.”
Tuck. go away. The unpleasant, terrifying sound of the troll’s flesh separating from bone continued.
Geisel continued his explanation by demonstrating troll killing with a calm expression.
“Ooh!”
In the end, one of the knights could not stand the disgust and turned his head.
Most of the knights who had not experienced the front line of the battlefield were barely enduring the disgusting sight with self-denial.
Catherine already had Yuma covering her eyes and ears.
When she faced Yuma’s rough palm, which was blocking her vision, her heart pounded for no reason and her face blushed.
“…ruler. How easy is it? Trolls are like this. Now, it took me a while to explain and show it by myself, but if you do it with a group of people, it will be easy.”
Afterwards, the cellove troops efficiently slaughtered countless trolls and orcs and demon wolves, killing the spirits of the knights of the Zetton Territory.
The subjugation of the Demon Gul in the Jetten Territory ended before less than five hours had passed.
After the subjugation, about 30 monster corpses were rolling around in the demon cave.
Fortunately, not all of the knights who followed were idiots, so some of them diligently wrote down the subjugation method of the cellove troops.
Now, the civil servants and commanders of the territory need to supplement the handwriting according to the locality and create a manual for the knights and foot soldiers to deal with monsters.
Yuma was happy to see the cellove troops in action and got on top of the tool car.
“I’ll go to the lord’s castle, rest for a day, and then leave for the next subjugation site.”
said Yuma. The crew responded by stamping their spears on the floor all at once.
On the way back to the lord’s castle, no knight ignored the Shelob troops.
The party arrived at Yeongju Castle at dawn.
The knights of the lord’s castle, unlike those who came following the subjugation, were polite to the Cellove members in their own way.
Considering that most of them were knights from the real nobility who inherited Zach’s name, it was an incredible treatment.
Members of Shelob soothed the elderly with the delicacies and the finest wine provided by the lord’s castle.
After hanging out with the troops, Yuma entered the room first and lay down on the bed.
‘There are too few clues that can be found in the devil’s cave. I guess I’ll have to find some other way. Shall we recruit wizards…
When it comes to discovering or investigating phenomena, wizards are by far the best.
However, wizards were different from mercenaries. Even if you say, ‘I’ll give you a lot of money, will you subdue and investigate the devil?’, it won’t work.
Most wizards were crazy about research.
All the poor wizards who could be tempted by money were bastards, tied to their families, and Cahel was in Matan and Adeline was an assistant to the chancellor, so they couldn’t ask for help.
Besides, what Yuma needed was a trustworthy wizard. Seriously find a clue together or make a justification.
It was not an easy problem.
smart.
Yuma heard a knock while thinking about how to find clues about the Dragon Horse War.
“Yes, lady. Please come in.”
Yuma said so without even asking who he was. It was obviously Catherine. It was because he could feel Catherine’s proud footsteps.
Katherine stunned and turned the doorknob.
“how did you know?”
“Just.”
Katherine looked around the room for nothing and opened her mouth.
“Will you take a walk?”
“It is.”
The two of them left the room and started to walk inside the lord’s castle. The moonlight filtering through the blades of grass in the garden of Yeongju Castle was beautiful.
“Anything you want to say…?”
For a long time, Catherine just walked silently, and Yuma spoke.
“just. When I was a child living in Yeongju Castle, I loved sneaking out for walks at dawn. I called because I was bored walking alone.”
“Go in. before getting hit.”
“what?”
“Oh, I didn’t mean to you, Mrs. Me and these kids.”
While Katherine panicked, the bushes over there tossed and turned.
In the bushes, Igor and other Selove members were hiding.
They were in the middle of discussing among themselves about their relationship, spying on Yuma and Catherine.
“Aang! You two look so good together!”
Igor gave a thumbs up and ran away.
“Didn’t I tell you to make that person?”
When Yuma glared at the crew members, they too hurriedly ran away.
The only crime the members had was to fall for Igor’s trick and secretly pursue them.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. Seeing as they were mercenaries… There is still a bit of a free-spirited corner left.”
Catherine swept back her lustrous red hair and smiled lowly. Yuma was relieved and took another step.
He was afraid that this ill-tempered young lady would seize the ignorant members and yell at them.
But it was Katherine who was more nervous. Despite the cold wind blowing in the early morning, my face was hot.
‘Coming to think of it, I’ve never been embarrassed or cowered in front of anyone.’
Catherine was born as the youngest daughter of Duran Jacques, and there has never been a moment when she was not taken aback.
Even when meeting empresses and princesses, Catherine was not intimidated.
But for some reason after I went to Anten Cave No. 7, every time I saw Yuma, I felt stuffy as if my heart was clogged.
It was the first time in my life that other people cared about me so much.
I guess I like Yuma.
Catherine is now determined to admit that fact.
“Miss Catherine.”
“huh?”
“Tears on her cheeks…
Catherine put her fingers to her cheeks. It was a cautious gesture, like a blind man sweeping the face of another.
“Uh… what is it?”
“Have you been sad lately?”
Yuma took a step closer to Catherine with a worried expression on her face. At the same time, Catherine took a step back, startled.
“miss ?”
From Yuma’s point of view, Catherine’s tears were a sudden event for which the cause could not be guessed.
As Yuma called her name a few more times, thick drops of snow began to fall from Katherine’s eyes.
Unlike the tears that flowed quickly and hotly, her face was smiling.
The sound of grass insects, the sound of the wind passing by two people, countless noises.
In the gap, Yuma could hear the faintest sound of the tears falling from Catherine’s cheeks hitting the blades of grass.
Yuma was genuinely worried about Catherine. Why the hell is this confident lady crying so much?
Catherine cried for a long time. Yuma didn’t know what to do and stood next to her in a cold sweat.
When the crying stopped, Catherine felt much lighter.
And Catherine made her own judgment.
He just confessed his love to Yuma and was rejected.
“Are you all right now? miss. Please let me know if you have any difficulties. I’m worried. Maybe Master is rotting inside these days?”
Catherine smiled and mischievously glared at Yuma.
“If I tell you, will you solve it?”
“of course. if that’s what i can do I owe a lot to Lady Catherine.”
“It sounds like you’re saying you’re going to help because you’re in debt.”
“It can’t be. Even when she broke through the gateway to save Natalie, if it hadn’t been for the lady… When
Catherine heard the name Natalie, she felt like she would burst into tears again. I couldn’t do something like that again.
Even if I feel like I’m about to lose my life, will Yuma do it? In an instant, childish assumptions passed through Catherine’s head.
“Tulka.”
“yes?”
“I want to ride that ancient wolf. I think that will make you feel better.”
Yuma immediately blew a whistle.
Tulka, who was sleeping in the middle of the reception room at the lord’s castle, heard a whistle and ran out. The old maid who was knitting was surprised by that wind and made a noise.
“Let’s get on. Come to think of it, I’ve never ridden a lady before.”
Yuma went up first and held out her hand to Catherine. Katherine hesitated for a moment, then took Yuma’s hand and climbed on top of Tulka.
“Which way shall we run?”
“Anywhere is fine.”
The two of them rode the tulka around the estate until dawn.
