Episode 247

EPISODE.124

Due to the sudden appearance of a dragon, rumors were circulating inside the military camp.

From the story of a new species of dragon that disappeared long ago to the rumor that the shape of a dragon is related to a new magic.

It is only natural that various gazes and questions are directed at Russell.

However, Russell, who was actually the party to the rumors, just smiled bitterly without even giving an answer.

‘I want to give you an answer, but I don’t know anything—.’

One thing was certain, however, that something had changed inside Russell since that day.

[???]

Of course, I haven’t even noticed what the change is yet.

Somehow, confirming that the staff members were looking at him strangely, Russell cleared his throat lightly.

“Hmmmm.”

He continued talking as if changing the topic.

“Then let’s start a meeting about the future.”

They were the ones who crossed the borders of the Empire by occupying the Triven Fortress.

The Empire’s counterattack would not be easy, so they had to plan their strategy in advance.

“I will say something first.”

It was Baron Donovan, the eldest, who spoke on behalf of the staff.

“According to the trend of the wars that have occurred so far and the movements of the Imperial Army recorded in the intelligence, the possibility of a large-scale rotation at present does not seem very high.”

As he spoke, he moved the small replicas of flags that had been placed on the map.

About 500 troops per flag.

First, red flags representing the Imperial Army began to be widely deployed along the border in a linear fashion.

“It would be one of the ways to focus your strength and penetrate one place, but if you go deep into their center, there is a high probability that the back end will be surrounded. So…”

The blue flag moved around as if to respond in turn.

“I think it would be better to distribute the troops in this way. majesty.”

“Um…”

Russell’s eyes quickly scanned the map.

A military deployment suitable for a battle in which the method of occupying land spread widely rather than advancing all at once to trample the enemy’s capital.

If it was a small country, the former would be much more efficient.

‘But if the Empire is the opponent, this method is definitely much better.’

Russell nodded, and he smiled once before continuing.

“And there’s something else I’d like to ask of Your Highness the Grand Duke.”

“Is there anything else you want to ask?”

“yes.”

Then, he took out a file folder that was not very thick from his pocket and held it out in front of Russell.

“His Highness the Grand Duke wants you to move with the detached unit.”

Opening the first chapter, you can see red dots painted all over the map of the empire.

“This is…”

“This is where the imperial army’s logistics are located. If Your Highness leads a detached unit and incapacitates these places, there will be a problem with their supply.”

Stable and smooth supply is the basis of the basics of war.

It was clear that if he could be cut off, the imperial army’s discipline would also be greatly shaken.

Of course, it seemed that there was more to this strategy than that.

“It’s not just about raiding the logistics, it can also instill anxiety in the enemy.”

Most of the logistics departments are located in the depths of the empire. If you use a detached unit to stir the place, the imperial army will have to go to war with anxiety that the enemy may come out from behind at any time.

said Baron Donovan, his eyes shining.

“yes. That’s why I asked Your Highness for a detached unit…”

A talented person who can infiltrate into enemy camps without anyone noticing and come back alive even after entering the middle of enemy camps.

“After that, I’ve separately compiled a list of people who could be with Her Highness.”

At the Baron’s words, Russell inadvertently turned the document to the next page.

The number of people on the list written on the piece of paper was about a dozen.

One name at the top caught Russell’s eye.

—Hubert Maximal, a war mage belonging to the Flame Tower.

It was an all-too-familiar name for him.

.

.

A few days later before the rear support units arrived.

There was a group of people escaping the military camp in the twilight of dawn. All of them were dressed in gray robes that were nothing special.

Whoo-.

A gust of wind blew the robe of the young man in front of them lightly.

Between the fluttering black hair, the unshakable eyes emitted red light from the pupils.

* * *

In the middle of the night in the thick darkness.

A cliff cut vertically inside the empire’s territory.

A group of people were walking up the cliff.

A sense of balance that regards the sheer cliff as no different from the flat land.

It is the ultimate in magic that can be seen by using the blowing wind and magic thread to adjust the balance and break some of the gravity.

The amazing thing was that everyone who was climbing the cliff was doing it without difficulty.

It has to be.

Because their true identity was none other than the detached group of Endymion’s wizards led by Russell.

Isn’t the weakest among the 10 of them a wizard with enough power to do his part in the 4th circle?

As he was spurring up the cliff at such a high speed, the man in the monocle opened his mouth.

“Your Highness…”

“I’m on a mission, but you can talk comfortably.”

At those words, Hubert nodded in accusation.

“It’s been a long time since I went on a mission with the priest.”

“Since this is the first time since the case of Kiel Kingdom… that must have been several years ago.”

“It’s Kiyel…”

Hubert’s eyes sank deeply as he recalled the time.

“Several years have passed, but the situation hasn’t changed much since then…” “

…?”

“At that time, I thought I would be able to support the priest even before leaving the mission.”

Even though it was the same 5th circle, he had far more experience and experience than himself.

However, if you check the contents of the mission at the time, it was Russell, not himself, who became the support.

Unlike himself, who was wounded and focused on escaping, Russell had even fought against one of the superhumans on an almost equal footing.

The same is true now, several years later.

‘The priest has risen to the level of a superman, but I’m in an almost stagnant state…’

Being on the 6th circle, I can’t say I’m stagnant, but compared to Russell’s growth, it was no different from standing still.

Of course, that didn’t mean he was jealous or envious of Russell.

I just felt frustrated with myself.

Did he understand Hubert’s heart?

Russell opened his mouth.

“You may not know it, but the death penalty has always been a strong support for me.”

Low but clear voice.

Russell’s voice reached Hubert’s ears even as the altitude rose and the howling wind blew.

A voice that doesn’t even shake.

“…?”

“If the death penalty hadn’t been there, I would have been kicked out of the academy long ago.”

No, even if he hadn’t been kicked out, he might have walked out on his own.

The time he spent at the academy was just as harsh for him, who had no talent before returning.

However, the burden of family revival was placed on his shoulders, so he clenched his teeth and clung to it.

It was Hubert’s map that helped him survive those years.

“The death penalty is also a gift to me.”

“Is that so…”

Hubert, who had dropped his tail, smiled faintly.

Death penalty and gift at the same time.

It was a strange relationship, but I could feel Russell’s sincerity in it.

It was then.

chuck-.

The first thing Russell said while looking down at the top of the cliff was,

“I see.”

Just like that.

The terrain created by the sheer cliffs surrounding it in the form of a canyon, the imperial army’s supply base was faintly visible through the thick darkness.

Bases that do not have a torch or a lamp lit.

What kind of supply base are you going to protect with that… Contrary to what someone muttered, Hubert and Russell’s eyes flashed like hawks.

Magic that can clearly see through the darkness.

Hawk-Eye.

“There must be a reason you didn’t turn on the light.”

“The corpses who have already died have the existence of light, but they will do mana.”

Surprisingly, it was a swarming number of undead guarding the supply base.

They weren’t the ones who used sight to find enemies, so they didn’t need a torch.

“Are you going to pour flame-type magic on the inside of the narrow canyon right now…?”

Hubert was stopped by Russell.

Eyes still shining like falcons looked down at the bottom of the gorge and said.

“But since it’s a war… shouldn’t we pack something?”

capture and loot. Not to mention, as long as the undead were guarding the supplies, they wouldn’t even feel the slightest bit of remorse.

Since most of them are high-ranking wizards, most of them should be able to use sub-space.

‘The stolen items should be kept in it for now. And if I repeat it, I’m sure…’

Russell slightly twitched his lips as he finished his thoughts.

.

.

Perseok-.

The piled up bones shattered on the heels of the shoes he stepped on.

The remnants of the undead that were shrieking and moving just before.

Puffy Puffy-.

The heap of white bones created an eerie atmosphere like a bone grave, and in the midst of that, Hubert muttered.

“It’s already the fourth quartermaster.”

It was while opening the sub-space and collecting the supplies of the Imperial Army lying around.

“I can feed and clothe several divisions for a month with only the supplies I have captured.”

As can be seen from the words, this is the fourth time that a detached unit led by Russell has attacked the imperial army’s logistics quarters.

The amount of booty obtained in the process was beyond imagination.

As for how much that amount was, I wondered if I had to join the main unit once because of the lack of space inside the sub-space.

“The question is, how long will the imperial army suffer from this trick?”

“I will.”

It was already four consecutive raids.

If he wasn’t an idiot, the Imperial Army would have prepared something.

That was the moment.

………………………………………………………..

_ ..Aww!

“—?!”

Russell, who was sweeping the spear into the subspace, hesitated without even realizing it.

‘That’s just…’

A very small voice heard in the wind.

‘It’s like pulling a tight string…?!’

Right after that, along with the sensation of the hairs all over the body standing up, the entire sky was filled with magic power.

It began to rage as if creating a storm.

oh oh oh oh-!

.

.

In the darkness of the forest, quite far from the place.

A man covered his whole body with a long robe looked up at the violently fluctuating sky and groaned.

“I will kill you on the spot. Bug-like Endymion guys…”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Piing────.

The moment the fully drawn empty protest leaves his hands.

────────Quaaaaaaa!

A huge storm rained down like a bunch from the sky.

『Heavenly Bow Boreas』

The divine instrument with the alias of the never-missing storm bow vomited out its divine power without hesitation.

Quaaaaaa!
